Were you successful using the Kindle Fire Utility script to root your Kindle Fire? Any of the versions?
The link to this utility is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
BTW... the actual POLL doesn't show in XDA Premium...
I was partially successful(my Kindle Fire got stuck in fastboot when installing TWRP, but I fixed it)

I was successful (using .8), but only after I manually installed the drivers using a different method. However, rooting the device and the rest of it worked fine.
Using 9.1 I think will solve the problems for those who read the instructions carefully.
reading carefully
read carefully. watched you tube carefully...still stuck on device offline. Hmm....
After days of trying...different computers ....driver issues.

It has only taken one attempt on all 3 of the Fires that I've used it to root.

Rooting it's not complicated using KF Utility, and you can do everything only using kf utility, and bluetooth may come someday =)
[Q] What does the "Unblock Wallpaper" feature do in the Kindle Fire Utility?
Hey Everyone,
I was just wondering what the "Unblock Wallpaper" feature does in the Kindle Fire Utility...
Okay, so if you're on stock ROM from amazon, and you have rooted your kindle fire, you can change the wallpaper of the lock screen and wallpaper (in custom launcher).
But on the next reboot, it will revert back.
If you want to keep your wallpaper, unlock it in kindle fire utility,apply it on kindle, then lock it in KFU again.
Comprendo?
Thanks for the quick reply, I got it.
No Problem!
Enjoy your custom wallpaper!
urns out I was trying to rooting and installing on my kindle fire android 7 inch HD achieves root but when you try to install the apk TweezerMod gave me run and put the Kindle screen in red and there does not pass that I can do I have only my tablet 15 days ago help!!
This mod appears to be for the kf2 not the kfhd,
It sounds like you flashed an improper image of some sort, and your lucky you still get some life out of your kindle...
I would wager at this point you need a fastboot cable and to reflash your kindle, after you make a fast boot cable look at the restore tool thread in the android dev section for the kfhd 7

I wonder why we are so impetuous and threw ourselves(I included), without reading other's experiences, to do things that can potentially break our beloved devices?
One sees that adventure is adventure, but as well that with only a bit of patience reading the archive almost all the "casualties" could have been avoided....
My kfhd is on. because when I press the power button and turn on the device is displayed kfhd logo in orange and immediately placed the red screen and my pc does not detect when connected by USB cable manufactures. What I can do? Help me
That's the point, calm down and read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Start with the basics before doing something worse. Read from the beginning to the last (83th) commentary. Is the correct form of doing things.
But first of all, the necessary cable is not that of the Kindle, is a especially modified one named "factory"that has 5 volt on the middle contact(5 pins) of the micro-usb, unused in your "manufacturer" cable.
You can find that special cable here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20380015#post20380015
kindle fire hd 8.9 v8.3.1 help
i recently bought a kindle fire hd 8.9 v8.3.1, which i rooted and install go launcher ex successfully. after reading up on cm10.1 i went in pursuit of this mod. using KF first aide v4.1.87-beta i backed up my device then proceeded to installing the 2-bootloader and twrp 2.4.4.0 for KFHD 8.9. upon completion of the installation when my kindle rebooted there was no kindle fire logo in blue, only the normal logo boot up and then my screen turn red. i cant perform any function except to power on/off the device. when the device is off and pulled into my computer device manger displays my kindle till the screen turns red then it disappears. can any one help me with this problem as to reset or restore my kindle fire hd to default or factory settings this would be greatly appreciated .. thank you very much!
You did not reflash the boot loader, buy a fast boot cable, and restore the original os...this is now your only option...after doing that re read hash codes thread on cm10 especially taking note of the step 4.5

Fast boot cables do NOT work on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 nor are they needed.
Friend Might be a little more specific

If you have a factory cable which you can buy from SkOrPn, then you can use KFHD First Aide to recover your kindle. Just follow the steps, it's easy as 1,2,3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

Proceeding at all with 7.4.7 is at own risk. I have a used tablet coming in the mail and will be here Tuesday. I will restore and test out rooting with binary and try some KFFA things with 7.4.7. I won't know anything until late Tuesday evening. Maybe someone will come along with some information before then. If not, I will let you know then.
Edit - Because this is possibly new hardwareI have edit my response to say just don't try it until you here from those who made the scripts give the all clear. I thought this was just an update to the 2012 Kindle Fire HD and the new Kindle Fire HD. This may not be the case. Until it gets sorted out, probably best to wait for the devs to sound off.

Yesterday I got a Kindle Fire HD 7" with Firmware Version 7.4.7. I tried to root this device, but I was not successful.
Is there anybody who was successful t root this device with version 7.4.7
If you have a factory cable you can downgrade and then root it? I'm running a custom ROM on my kfhd so can't help much for 7.4.7 sorry

How did you tried? Did it root? Did you have a factory cable?
Try this...
Get Bin4ry's root and extract the 'fakebackup.ab'. Get ADB set up and working and enter the following:
Code:
adb restore fakebackup.ab
If the restore screen pops up, where it says "restore my data" at the bottom (don't press on it though), then there's a good chance they didn't patch the exploit. If the ADB restore hasn't been disabled, I would say go ahead and try to root it. It probably wouldn't hurt to make sure the factory cable still works though.
Confirmed as working

You can try again. One will install some launchers with it too. Be careful though. Using this tool on the 4th generations is not widely tested. Not that I know of anyway.

Hi, My kindle is not the newest one, so I assume it's normal Kindle fire HD 7'', I tried to run it another few times with different setups on my pc etc. same error every time. It's weird that it says it's rooted but I can't get most of the thing working, perhaps I should try to put in recovery, alt boot loader and install some different rom. But because I'm not confident about my root I rather use amazon-handicapped device than get a brick.
I would not proceed until your root is working properly. Sometimes the rooting process has to be repeated. You will want to get a fastboot cord just in case if you try to install ROM.
Just the other day I had to run root and restore 4 times before it took. Ended up I got the one that installs Apex launchers as well and just installed that afterward.

You need a factory fastboot cord first. Use this tutorial to get TWRP/2nd bootloader installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

Hi, to install 2nd bootloader and twrp and then cm11 factory cable isn't needed. Kffa want downloading files to downgrade to7.2.3 so I got it manually inhaled then twrp and cm11 no problem. But then cm11 started crashing so I rebooted kindle butit dinner start, in twrp it reported that storage can't be mounted, I have pushed Rom using adb but it wouldn't install due to storage issue soI used that tool to recover kindle but after successful installation I got into a reboot loop. Factory reset cable is already ordered. After cm 11 issues I don't know if I'll try it again.
