First of all you need to download and install the following software:
* Java Development Kit 1.6+ (i have used this version)
1. Click Download button.
2. Select your Windows version from menu and click Continue. User name and password are optional.
3. Click on the link to start download. Size ~ 80MB.

2. Run installer_r09-windows.exe.
3. After the setup is completed press Next
4. Uncheck "Start SDK Manager" and press Finish
* Windows USB driver & Platform Tools
1. Your phone must NOT be connecter to your computer.
2. Run SDK Manager.exe (Default path “C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\”)
3. ONLY THIS TIME PRESS CANCEL IN THIS WINDOW.
Press Cancel
4. Click Available packages on the left menu.
Select "Available packages"
5. Expand the Android Repository and check “Android SDK Platform-tools” box.

[GUIDE]Install Android SDK and upgrade Marketplace to 2.2.6

FIRST OF ALL, I CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!​
Now that we got that out of the way...
I have noticed that some people`s Marketplaces simply refuse to update by themselves (exactly what happened in my case) and as most of the people visiting this forums are not tech-savvy and simply want a step-by-step guide to get things working, I decided no harm can be done by me posting this info.
Installing Android SDK revision 8
First of all, you will need to have Android SDK (and ADB of course) installed with the drivers ready to go. In order to get the SDK installed go to the official Android website and download the latest revision (r08 at the time I posted this). You can download any of those files, but I prefer using the executable installer so I can make sure everything is at its place. Now, there are two major flaws with this whole process which have almost made me quit the whole process several times, but I got them sorted out and will help you solve them aswell.
FLAW #1: After beginning the installation process, the installer will prompt you to download a JDK (Java Developer Kit) in order to continue installation. Hit the "Visit sun.java.com" button and download the latest Java SE (currently this one). But before proceeding be sure to download the 32 bit one, as the Android SDK only recognises this version. I know it`s not a big deal, but I spent about two hours trying to figure out what the heck went wrong and it became quite frustrating.
Install the JDK, then the SDK. Once Android SDK is done, simply go ahead and launch SDK Manager (you can find it in Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\) and when you get to choose the packages to install, simply check "Accept All" and click "Install". Once it`s done, it`s time to download the drivers. Click "Available packages", tick "Third party Add-ons" and under "Google Inc. add-ons" you should find "Google Usb Driver package". Tick it and click "Install". IF YOU GET AN ERROR SAYING THAT PERMISSION WAS DENIED AND YOU ARE UNDER WINDOWS 7, COPY THE WHOLE "Android" FOLDER CONTAINING THE SDK TO YOUR DESKTOP (OR ANY OTHER PLACE) AND REPEAT THE STEPS ABOVE. I know it`s quite rudimentary, but it does its job. Once it`s done, a folder named "google-usb_driver" will be created under Android. Be sure to correctly copy it to the original location in case you had permission issues.
FLAW #2: Ever since Android SDK r08, Google decided to remove the ADB files so now they have to be manually placed in the folder. I have uploaded them for you, so click here to download them. Once downloaded, extract the archive to the "Android\android-sdk-windows\tools" folder.
OPTIONAL: Go to Start Menu, right click on Computer, click Properties. The System window will appear, where you need to go to "Advanced system settings". Once there, click on "Environment variables" and where it says "System variables", look for PATH. Once found, highlight it and click "Edit..." then add the line "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools;" at the end. Click "Ok", "Ok" and "Ok", then restart your computer.
Right now everything should be working as expected. Connect your HD2 to the PC via USB and hope for the best. If the drivers are working and it is recognized as a HTC device, open a command prompt and type "adb devices". If you get anything such as "List of devices attached" followed by some code such as "0123456789ABCDEF device", everything is working well. Good job, you just correctly and completely installed Android SDK on your PC!
If not...
Check your device manager and if you see any devices related to your HD2 having problems, simply right click on them and update the drivers with the ones downloaded earlier in the "google-usb_driver" folder then reboot your computer.
We`re all set! ...What now?
The whole process is actually quite simple. First of all, download the new 2.2.6 Marketplace and put it somewhere accessible, such as your desktop. Open a command prompt and enter the following:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/Vending.apk
This will basically delete the old Marketplace from your device.
Now go to the folder where you placed the new Marketplace, hold down Shift, right-click and select "Open command window here". A command prompt should pop up at the exact location. Now execute the following command:
Code:
adb push Vending.apk /system/app
And that is it! Now restart your device and try to run your Marketplace, it will load for half a minute or so then it will start normally. Enjoy!
I know this is rather a tutorial for installing the SDK, but I figured it would be useful to let everyone know how I managed to solve my problem. In case I skipped any steps or you notice anything wrong/wish to add anything, please feel free to do so!
If you feel my post has helped you in any way, do not hesitate to hit the "Thank" button!

Reserved post for further mini-tutorials.

At least on my r08 install if you install the platform tools component then adb will be available under the platform-tools directory (moved from the tools directory).

@OP
Did you test this on a non sense build?

This procedure will most likely not work with Cyanogenmod ROMs. That and I'd suggest you give the newest market version (2.2.7) instead. I'm not willing to destroy my ROM again by trying it on CM.

[GUIDE][Update][Android CM Alpha 3] How to Install CM Alpha on Touchpad

NOTE: I don't have a TP anymore, but i am pretty sure the installation instructions will be the same moving forward. If you are new follow the full guide, if you are already on one of the CM versions, skip to step 7 and replace the file with the current file.
Note: If you are already on CM Alpha 1/2.1 skip to step 7, if not you can follow the instructions below to install CM Alpha 3 from WebOS.
Alright, here is a step by step instruction on how to install CM Alpha 3 on Touchpad. I did notice there is a video guide but a text step by step might be useful for some. I have this installed and for Alpha release this is fantastic.
Pretty straightforward installation, but as always you follow this guide and flash at your own risk. Main thread for the CM port is here. Read whats working and whats not working there. If you have any questions, post it there. but read the known issues first, don't post know issues. This is just a guide.
Required:
1) PC ( windows, mac or linux) with working Internet
2) HP Touchpad ( obviously) and the usb cable that came with it.
3) Good Reading skills ( I am serious).
4) Read this guide twice if you have to.
Step 0:
Get your pre flash jitters out and think twice. This will root your device and hence your warranty will be void after the flash. If you still want to flash, back up your current HP touchpad. figure out which way is your volume up button ( you will need for step 4) and proceed to step 1
Step 1:
Make sure you have atleast 2GB of free space in your touchpad. Download the following files from here
1)Moboot bootloader for multi boot
2)CM Alpha 3
3)Clockwork Mod Recovery
Once done, go to step 2 below;
Step 2:
1)Acme Installer from here
2) HP WebOS SDK for windows, mac or linux
3) Follow the links above to install the full SDK or just the Novacom driver which is all that is required. If you are not sure, install the full sdk.
on to step 3 now.
Step 3:
1) Connect Touchpad to PC with the usb cable that came with it and select Usb Drive option.
2) Once the Touchpad pops up on your screen, create a folder called cminstall and put the files you downloaded in Step 1 there.
3) Eject/Safely remove touchpad from the pc, remove the USB cable from pc and shutdown touchpad, then go to step 4.
Step 4:
1) Do you know which way is your volume up button? if you are not sure then you are not paying attention to this guide. To figure out which way, boot to webOS, figure it out and shutdown.
2)Hold the volume up button and press power button simultaneously. You should see a white USB symbol.
3)Connect the USB cable back to pc and if the Novacom drivers were properly installed, the driver will be automatically detected and installed.
Step 5:
Almost there, time to install now.
Extract the Acme Installer you downloaded in Step 2 to your desktop or wherever you want. Open up cmd ( in windows) or terminal ( in linux or mac). cd to the directory where you just extracted your Acme Installer.zip and go to step 6 for install.
Step 6:
Now type this in the command prompt after you have done cd
novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller
NOTE: windows users might have to manually move the novacom.exe and/or AcmeInstaller into c:\programfiles\palm folder and run the above command from there.
and wait for it to install and boot into CyanogenMod. If your clockwork mod didn't get installed, go here for a fix.
Step 7:
Update from CM Alpha 1/ 2.1
1) Download CM Alpha 3 from here
2) Plug in your touchpad to PC, select copy usb files option
3) Transfer CM Alpha 3 zip file into the "sd card" of your touchpad when it pops up and disconnect.
4) Long press power button and select reboot, then recovery option.
5) Recommended but Optional ( I didn't): In CWM recovery, go to backup and storage, do a nandroid backup before updating, back to main cwm recovery, wipe cache and in advanced wipe dalvik cache.
6) In the CWM recovery meny, use your volume buttons and select install zip file from sd card, select zip file and select cm alpha 3 zip, then scroll down and say yes.
7) Reboot. To check if you are on alpha 3, go to settings, about tablet and mod version should be alpha3.
To install google market and google apps, go here
Have Fun. Thanks to the awesome CM team, we have android on touchpad.
NOTE: If you want to uninstall CM for whatever reason, download ACME uninstaller from here and run it like you did with ACME installer. This should work ( i haven't tried it though).
SOD( Sleep of Death): This is when touchpad goes to sleep and wouldn't wake up, don't panic. Doesn't happen often and I have never seen it since installing Alpha 2.1. Press and hold power and home button for 10 - 20 secs and your TP will reboot. One fix for this is to use no-frills cpu control or set cpu and set min cpu to 384Mhz.

sticky this!

Good effort but you're going to get warned/banned by the mods for cross linking. They have to protect their domain you know.

Cross linking? I linked directly to the other websites which host the files. Thats not allowed? If so, mods can delete this thread. Only trying to help. I don't see another thread for a guide here in this section unless i am blind .

I've followed all the steps exactly and I'm getting this:
The ACME files were extracted to my users folder.

Looks like novacom wasn't installed properly. I don't have windows, so hopefully somebody else can chime in. try reinstalling novacom or the entire sdk.

did you install the sdk and the novacom driver like the linux link suggested? i have ubuntu 11.04 and the steps i described worked no problems. reinstall novacom drivers

i installed the driver but not the full sdk cuz i was told i did not need to. Can you maybe give me a break down of how things will look like on ubuntu strictly? Sorry if i seem like a noob or it is bothersome for you to have to reply. I greatly appreciate your help

[HOWTO] Root the Kindle Fire 2 (non HD)

Device = Kindle Fire 2 and Windows 8 64bit
Although I have tagged this as a howto, its more of a compilation of what others have done - many thanks to them. This is the first howto post I've done so please thank the guys that made this happen - not me.
There are many, many posts showing how to root the kindle fire (HD and normal) but it took me a while to piece together all the information I needed to root (re-root actually!) mine.
As I've just re done mine and its fresh in my head, here it is.
Download the Android SDK and unzip it and copy the 'adt-bundle-windows' folder to your documents folder
Navigate to Documents/adt-bundle-windows/sdk/tools and run the android app - this opens the android SDK manager.
Go to tools - Manage-addon-sites and select the User defined Sites tab. Click new and add the following url
http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml
Hit OK and close
Now scroll to the bottom on the SDK manager and under extras will be 2 kindle fire options 'kindle fire device definitions' and 'kindle fire USB driver' select both and install.
Now close the SDK manager.
If you have previously used your kindle on your PC, plug it in and go to device manager and un-install the drivers for it - now unplug it.
Navigate to \Documents\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver and install the kindle USB drivers
Now add the location of the ADB.exe file to your path
You should now be able to plug in your kindle and execute adb devices and see your kindle - that means your good to go.
Download this tool made by Bin4ry - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Unzip the file you download.
Now goto the platform-tools folder of the SDK and copy all the files in here into the 'stuff' folder of the file you just unzipped.
Now simply run the 'RunMe' batch file.
Now, you mileage may vary of course but this is what worked for me.

1. You MUST have Java SDK installed in order to open the "Android" App (SDK Manager) (I didnt have it)
2. It is important to delete the drivers of the kindle fire at Device manager (while is connected) if you have used (connected) it before. After deleting the drivers disconnect the kindle fire and install the drivers again.
3. adb.exe is located at \adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools\ (sorry I didnt know where it was located)
4. When referring to "execute adb devices" it means you should type in a command prompt "adb devices" (I was looking for an .exe or a .bat file named "adb devices"!) LOL
5. After running "adb devices" you should be able to "see" your kindle device as a large alphanumeric sequence. Now, this was the tricky part for me... I tried several times and couldnt "see" my kindle listed! So I figured out that maybe there was a different kind of connection I could configure and indeed there was! I had to set my Kindle Fire to be in ADB Debug Mode. This is achieved by going to Settings->Security->Enable ADB And after that it was a piece of cake! I downloaded the file made by Bin4ry and followed the rest of the instructions.
Excellent tutorial bryanchapman9999!! I really appreciate your time and effort to gather up this information!

Divanus,
First, the Android SDK is completely independent of other services and is only required for developers. The package includes Eclipse which is a Programming platform that people like us use to develop software for Android. The software used in Root MANY ANDROID includes the adb.exe utility needed to Root the Kindle.
You only need four things to Root the Kindle:
1. Root MANY ANDROID: http://ubuntuone.com/6LfERbIVoLRh822wHFicgR
2. Android ADB Driver: http://ubuntuone.com/4UaHeEJBrh9PT87RFzYR19
3. Windows PC
4. Kindle Fire 2
Step 1: Install the ADB Driver while the Kindle is Unplugged from USB, then Reboot your PC.
Step 2: Plug the Kindle into USB, wait 2 minutes for the driver to initialize
Step 3: Unzip Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.5.1.zip as Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 to your desktop
Step 4: If you installed the SDK, you need to disable it, otherwise Root Many Android will fail. You can disable it by changing the platform-tools folder to platform-tools-temp. This can usually be found C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools
Step 5: Run Root Many Android RunMe.bat
Step 6: You now have Root!

Kusakus,
First let me apologize for the delay we have been working hard to improve our software. Please follow these steps to solve your problem:
Step 1: Remove Kindle driver by plugging the Kindle into USB, then Go to the Windows Device Manager and select the Kindle > Android ADB Interface - choose Remove and be sure to check the Box to remove the driver from the driver database.
Step 2: Remove the second driver found under Portable Devices > Kindle - choose Remove and be sure to check the Box to remove the driver from the driver database.
Step 3: Next you need to remove "phantom devices" in the Windows Device Manager. Go to Control Panel and double click on System. You can also right-click "Computer" on the Start menu (or on the desktop if it's shown there) and choose Properties. Note: A faster way for opening up the System applet is to press the Windows logo key on your keyboard and then press Pause/Break at the same time.
Step 4: Click on "Advance System Settings" link, and then click on the "Environment Variables" button.
Step 5: In the System Variables section click on the "New" button.
In the New System Variable dialog box, under the Variable Name value enter devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices (just copy the value from here and paste it there) and give it a variable value of 1. Click OK.
Step 6: In the Environment Variables window notice how the new variable appeared in the System Variables section. Click OK.
Step 7: In the System Properties window click OK.
Step 8: Reboot the PC.
Step 9: Open Device Manager (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager).
Step 10: From the View menu click Show Hidden Devices and notice the change. Now remove EVERY instance of Kindle, Portable Devices, Android ADB Interface and Android ADB Composite Interface. Be sure to check the box to remove the driver from the PC.
Step 11: When you are done reboot the PC. Wait 3 minutes once you see the desktop for Windows to stabilize. Plug the Kindle into USB, wait 60 seconds and open the Windows Device Manager, you should now see two Yellow Triangles:
MTP
Unknown Device
Step 12: If you see two Yellow Triangles you have successfully removed all the Kindle Drivers! Unplug the Kindle from USB.
Step 13: Check Add/Remove Programs do you see Android SDK? If yes, please Remove it and reboot the PC.
Step 14: Please download and install Kindle Fire First Aide per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
Step 15: Use Kindle Fire First Aide to install the Kindle Fire USB Driver - Option 12. Wait for the Install to complete. Once you see a successful driver install then go to the Kindle. Make sure "Allow installation of programs" is ON under the Kindle Status Bar - More + > Device. Also make sure ADB is ON under the Kindle Status Bar More + Security Enable ADB is ON.
Step 16: Plug the Kindle into your PC USB, wait 2 minutes, maybe 3 minutes for the driver to successfully install. When done go back to the Windows Device Manager, do you now see the following:
Kindle > Android ADB Interface
Portable Devices > Kindle
Step 17: If yes, then SUCCESS! Great work! Let's proceed, if NO post what you see in the Device Manger in the Kindle Fire First Aide thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
Step 18: Let's finally Root your Kindle Fire 2. Try Option 20 first if that root method fails, reboot the PC and Kindle then try Option 21. Pay close attention to the Kindle when using Option 21, the Kindle should ask to be "Restored" do not worry it is a fake restore that is only used to exploit the Kindle. When you restore the Kindle, the process will wrap up and you will have Root!
Step 19: You may use our software to install Google Play Store and Google Apps.

Not trying to revive an old thread and I have been reading what I could find on the kindle fire 2. Recently got my daughter one and I'm not happy with the amazon store, etc. I would like to root and be able to use the playstore. Is this the best method? Is this what I need to do to accomplish this? She and her mother both like the stock ui and all, especially the carousel, so I have no intention of installing a different rom or launcher. So is it possible to simply root and get access to the google playstore? Thanks!

I used this thread recently and it worked fine

How To Guide How to install Windows 7 on a Surface Pro 1 or any other UEFI-only device

If you have tried to install Windows 7 on a Surface Pro, or a UEFI-only device., you may have noticed it hangs on "Starting Windows" or gives error 0xc000000d, or you might have seen the following message:
The Surface Pro is a class 3 UEFI device, which means it has no Compatibility Support Module (CSM), which emulates the old BIOS environment. Windows 7 is not compatible with UEFI, which means without CSM, it wouldn't be able to function.
If you had to run Windows 7 on a Surface Pro, the only way would be to enable the Hyper-V feature of Windows 8 and run Windows 7 inside a virtual machine (VM). However, this would limit the resources available and the capabilities such as some of the touch/pen features.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
However, this article proves that it isn't impossible to achieve this. This tutorial shows you how to install Windows 7 on a Surface Pro. This tutorial is meant for the Surface Pro 1, but could work on any other UEFI-only device, which it should, but not guaranteed.
ISO file link: https://archive.org/details/windows-7-surface-pro-1
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Boot the USB. This ISO uses a Windows 10 PE, but has a Windows 7 install.wim.
2. Open command prompt by pressing "Shift+F10"
3. Type in setup.exe /noreboot
4. Go through setup normally.
5. On the command prompt, type in "diskpart"
6. Type in the following commands:
sel dis 0
lis par
sel par 1 (where your boot partition is)
assign letter w
exit
7. Open up Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and copy the BCD file and paste it onto the Windows 7 partition.
8. Go back to diskpart by typing "diskpart" in
9. Type in the following commands:
sel dis 0
sel vol w
form quick fs=fat32
exit
10. Go back to Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to the USB drive, then go to the FlashBootPro folder, then copy the "EFI" folder.
11.Go to W:\ and paste the EFI folder.
12. Go to the Windows 7 partition and cut "BCD".
13. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and paste "BCD" on the folder.
14. Reboot. Setup should continue normally.
NOTE: For some reason, Windows will NOT boot if any USB devices are connected. Any time you boot into 7, you MUST disconnect them, boot into 7, then connect them again. Wifi is integrated but doesn't work. You will need to purchase a separate USB wireless adapter.

At the last steps, you must replace the files at the hard drive where you installed Windows 7. You can do this by booting another OS, or making a live OS and then replace them on that hard drive from that OS.
