[Q] Rooted 1.2, can't install apps (and other issues)

Hi,
I rooted my Nook 1.2 with ManualNooter 4.5.6 and have it running at 1.1GHz. Have some issues and was wondering if I can get some help.
How do I install non-market apps? I went to the amazon page and was able to download the Amazon_Appstore-release.apk. When I click on it, I get a choice of App Installer and Package Installer, neither of which works. I've tried unchecking and checking "Allow Non-Market Apps" in Nook Tools, but it still didn't work. It notes that the apk must be copied to /system/app...how do I do that?
I've installed SetCPU (full version) from the market and set max to 1100. SetCPU seems like it can do so much more, but I'm hesitant to mess anything up. Anyone willing to share their settings?
When looking through the Battery Use stats, I noticed that Cell Standby is using up 49% battery, and Phone Idle another 2%. Is there some way to set airplane mode or something to disable those?
Thanks,
kftgr

Easy solutions (although they take some steps). I've done both of these.
Amazon App Store:
* Download to your PC
http://amzn.to/getamazonappstore
* Put the apk onto your sdcard.
* Use a File Manager that will give you Read/Write access. I use SUFBS, so I'll give instructions for that.
Open SUFBS, rotate your nook on it's side and click the S and the D in the upper left hand corner. For whatever reason, at least on my Nook, it must be in landscape to be able to click the S.
* Navigate to the Amazon App Store apk. In my case, it was /sdcard/Amazon_Appstore-release.apk
* Click on it, click "Install", click "Package installer".
It should install, and ask you to log in.
DONE!
For the Cell Standby issue, you need to rename two apk's, you can do this in ADB, but since we're in SUFBS anyway:
* Navigate to /system/app
* Long Press "Phone.apk" until a menu pops up
* Select "Rename", rename it to "Phone.OLD"
Next, still in /system/app
* Long Press "TelephonyProvider.apk" until the menu pops up
* Select "Rename", rename it to "TelephonyProvider.OLD"
REBOOT
DONE!
If you ever want to turn those two back on, just replace .OLD with .apk and reboot again. It will make a difference in your battery life. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck.

I downloaded the Amazon App store apk and have tried to install it, but whenever I do I get a Parse Error, "There is a problem parsing the package"
Edit: This happens whenever I try to use the Application Installer first, then the Package Installer. I've rebooted the machine and tried just using the Package Installer and I get a error saying my phone has been set to only allow applications from the market to be installed. I've verified that in the Nook Tools the "allow non-market apps" checkbox is checked. I even unchecked it and rebooted and it was checked when I went back into the Tools.

I couldn't find SUFBS in the market, so used Ghost Commander and was able to install the apks with your instructions. Thanks!

Could you provide the adb instructions? I already have the sdk installed.
I tried the renaming steps in Ghost Commander, but the new name doesn't stick, even though it's been given root.

@r0n1n69:
Just use the steps that KWKSLVR provided. Basically: get a file manager that provides read/write access, navigate to the apk, then install with "package installer."

Try:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell mv /system/app/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.OLD
adb shell mv /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk /system/app/TelephonyProvider.OLD
adb reboot

I've installed FileExpert and given it root permission, but I still get the "can only install from market" error whenever I try to install a package from my sdcard. In this case I'm trying to install mobo player, if that makes a difference.

[GUIDE] Root Kindle with 6.2.1 using JCase method

These are my notes and guide for rooting the Kindle with 6.2.1 firmware. If I left something out, or something is not working, please leave a comment and I'll try to update.
Credit goes to JCase for the root. Please consider making a donation to him here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andirc.jcasedonate
Original procedure is here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...on-kindle-regardless-of-its-software-version/
ADB INSTALL AND TEST - Method 1 (skip to the ROOT INSTALL section if you already have a working ADB)
NOTE: ADB = Android Debug Bridge. It is a command line interface to the android device. A working ADB is required before you can root your Kindle. ADB is installed on a PC and accesses the Kindle via USB cable.
Install Java SE Development Kit 7 on PC
The Android SDK Manager requires Java SDK
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u1-download-513651.html
Install Android SDK Manager on PC
The Android SDK has the drivers and ADB needed to perform the root procedure
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Uncheck Android 4.0
Check 2.33
Ensure Google USB Driver is checked
Install to c:\android to make typing easier later on
NOTE: The install can take a long time!
Manually update files so drivers will properly install
Open c:\users\your account name\.android\adb_usb.ini (or c:\documents and settings... if you have XP) and add the following
Code:
0x1949
Open c:\android\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf and make additions as shown:
Code:
[Google.NTx86]
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
....
[Google.NTamd64]
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
Install drivers
Find the Kindle device in device manager and update drivers. Point to the location with android_winusb .inf
Verify ADB works
Open a command prompt
CD to c:\android\platform-tools
Code:
adb kill-server
adb devices
If it's working, ADB will return a large number, like this:
Code:
312342134231342 device
ADB INSTALL AND TEST - Method 2
NOTE: I have not tried this, but Vashypooh's app can apparently handle the driver install, and run ADB without installing the above software. If all of this works, then his app would be the best way IMO.
NOTE 2: I've seen a lot of comments suggesting the driver install in Vashypooh's app doesn't work at this point.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
ROOT INSTALL - Method 1
Install JCase's kindleroot_androidpolice.apk
JCase's app gives ADB root access. Once this is done, you still need to install the superuser app
Download kindleroot_androidpolice.apk to PC
http://www.multiupload.com/VNZ6Y41EQF
Ensure the Kindle is connected via USB, and copy file to Kindle sdcard
Using ES File Explorer on Kindle, navigate to the kindleroot_androidpolice.apk and launch
Follow prompts and click root
Install superuser app
Download superuser-2 to PC
http://www.multiupload.com/M2CX14W7Y0
Unzip to c:\download\sufiles
Use ADB to install SU app
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb push c:\download\sufiles\su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb install c:\download\sufiles\Superuser.apk
adb reboot
ROOT INSTALL - Method 2
NOTE: I have not tried this, but Vashypooh's app can apparently handle the root process.
BurritoRoot (Temporary)
Install Permanent Root with Superuser

Thanks to you for the root. I hope the guide will help those trying to root!

Thanks for the clear and easy steps.

Great guide Ectoplasmic!
One thing I would add though, in step 5 "Verify ADB Works", before you use the "adb devices" command, you need to type "adb kill-server". If you don't type in "adb kill-server" first, the device won't show up when you use the "adb devices" command. Or at least it didn't for me.
Otherwise, everything worked FLAWLESSLY. I verified I was rooted using Root Checker. Thank you!

Unroot in my app (BurritoRoot) does not remove su, it just turns off adb root (which is what my app turns on) sorry for the confusion.
Will add in the future when I release burritomod

Here's the equivalent instructions for Mac
I am pretty new myself, but I'm happy to share what I've come up with so far. I am on a Mac OS X 10.6.8
Download the Android SDK for Mac (dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r16-macosx.zip), the easiest place to put it is at the top of your user directory, from the browser download window chose your username from places on the left side, then name the zip "Android"
Next from Finder, navigate to the place where you downloaded the SDK, and double-click on it which should unzip it and create a folder of the same name e.g "Android". Open that and inside it will be a folder "tools", and inside that there will be a file "android". Double-click that to run it and the "Android SDK Manager" program window will pop up, you will also see a Terminal window in the background, don't worry about that. Uncheck all the boxes, then check "Android SDK Platform-tools" which should be the third from the top, and click install. This gets you the actual "dab" program.
Once adb is setup, to get it to recognize your kindle fire on your mac, you may need to make an entry in a config file if you haven't already.
Start Terminal Applications > Utilities > Terminal or if you are used to using spotlight, simply type in "Terminal". (here's an intro to using Terminal guides.macrumors.com/Terminal) and navigate to the directory where you have adb, e.g. if you placed it at the top of your user directory that would be
Code:
cd Android
or if you left it in the default downloads directory it would be
Code:
cd Downloads/android-sdk-macosx/
then enter the following commands
Code:
mkdir ~/.android
You may get the following error
Code:
mkdir: /Users/<username>/.android: File exists
If so, that is fine, continue to the next step
Code:
touch ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
open -e ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
TextEdit will open with that file open, you should have an entry in it on a single line that says
Code:
0x1949
if not, copy that in, then save and close it, then
Code:
./adb kill-server
Connect your kindle to the mac if it isn't already, then
Code:
./adb devices
You should see a message like
Code:
List of devices attached
2ED6000600000001 device
On your kindle, make sure you have a file navigation app, the example above ES FileExplorer is excellent and is the one I use from Amazon app store
Download Burrito Root from Android Police ( androidpolice.com/2011/12/23/exclusive-how-to-easily-root-the-amazon-kindle-regardless-of-its-software-version/)
Also download the Superuser.zip from the same page (multiupload.com/ONH28CB1GU) and unzip, then make sure you move the contents "su" and "Superuser.apk" into the same directory as adb
Through Finder copy the "kindleroot_androidpolice.apk" file you downloaded earlier to your kindle, some place like "download" so you can find it easily later
Now on the Kindle, tap disconnect on your KIndle so you can get back to the apps screen, launch the file explorer you installed earlier, navigate to folder you copied it to, e.g. "download" then install the "kindleroot_androidpolice.apk", open it, and go through the steps to launch click "Root"
Back on the Mac, in the terminal window where you had adb going, enter the commands
Code:
./adb root
./adb remount
./adb push su /system/xbin/su
./adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
./adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
./adb install Superuser.apk
./adb reboot
You should be rooted now, then you can follow the other instructions out there for getting Android market, etc working
TIP
here's a tip if you don't want to have to type in the period and slash ahead of adb every time. from your terminal window enter the
Code:
cd ~
touch .profile
open -e .profile
That will open text editor, and paste in the following line,
Code:
PATH=${PATH}:/Users/<username>/<sdk-directory>/platform-tools
replacing both our user name and the path to where you have sdk e.g. in my case
Code:
PATH=${PATH}:/Users/kbiz/Android/platform-tools
Then close the terminal window and reopen a new one and you should be good to go, now you'll only need to type in "adb".
Let me know if I missed something, trying to give back since this forum has been super helpful.

OTA Rootkeeper should work but since its not, try this (courtesy rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-unroot/how-to-unroot-kindle-fire/)
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/xbin/su
reboot
after your Kindle restarts you won't have root and Amazon Video should work just fine.

Hello,
I have successfully rooted my device with the above instructions. While installing the Android market I was abusing of my root privileges and I've successfully "burned" my device. That is, the Kindle won't start up anymore (it stays forever in the initial phase showing the kindleFire logo).
I don't know where else to turn for help so I'm writing about this here. If anyone has hints of how I could recover my kindle from the void, please let me know
Cheers

Yesssssssssss
Yesssssssssssssssssss. So nice to have root again. My Titanium Backup and SUFBS works again

I had ADB and SDK working when I had my Glacier, but since I have gotten my SGS2, and my Kindle, Android SDK Manager will not open... It just opens a command prompt, and then closes.. I have reinstalled both the SDK Manager and the Java Kit... Any ideas?
EDIT:
I must have messed with something in my system settings somewhere to corrupt a bunch of stuff... I did a system restore to the 18th of December, reinstalled, and everything works perfect now... Oh well! Haha

Hey, I used a combo of the link JCase gave me when I had questions, this guide, and the links off the rootzwiki guide and managed to get it first try. It was actually easier than I thought it was going to be. I've never rooted anything before, I didn't even have ADB or the SDK until tonight. The process (while using both guides and video tut) went smoothly without a hitch. I just finished installing the Android Market but have to wait til morning to access it, as I have no WiFi at home, and its too late for me to be driving to a hotspot. Thank you very much. You(JCase) and your comrades who put this all together f**king rule.

a really clear and easy guide ! - congratulations - you shoud try to let it pin on top !

the reason people have problems with vashipooh's driver installation seems to be the old drivers - they don't manage to clean up the old drivers:
disconnect KF
Open an (elevated for win7) command prompt:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
devmgmt.msc
device manager opens - click "view" - click "show hidden devices"
now you see all devices ever connected/installed
uninstall all devices regarding "kindle" and "android (composite) adb device"
connect KF - will startup by itself
select the most recent driver (that you have installed before by install_driver.bat from KFU) manually (check date/time)
now you should be set up with a good driver installation
btw. i'm on xp - it's working for xp and 7, 32 and 64 bit

The same thing happens to me. When using the stock Rom you get around 10 fps. But when using another Rom its anywhere from 50-60 on that quadrant standard test.

EDIT -
Oh man, just tried this and it messed up my Kindle Fire. I'm on 6.2.1 and I just get a black screen now. The only thing visible is the top part of the UI (the part where it says "My Kindle, the Time, Options/Wifi/Battery).

you've messed up your egl.cfg - correct or use the backup you've made (hopefully) with adb.
in case you don't have:

@b63
Thanks for the file but I backed up my egl.cfg file (renamed egl.cfg.bak) before I did anything (one backup is on my desktop PC, the other is on the Kindle itself in the /sdcard/download folder).
The question is how do I replace the one I messed up in /system/lib/egl with the backup?
This is how I came to be in this predicament : I downloaded the original egl.cfg file to my desktop pc, edited it, saved it, and reuploaded to my Kindle and placed it in the /system/lib/egl folder, then I restarted my Kindle. When it booted up, there's nothing on screen except the [My Kindle Time Options/Wifi/] up top.

to copy to computer and edit/write back ist is very likely that you make a failure in editing or with the permissions.
it's better to use "es file explorer" or "root explorer" on the KF
gimme some information that i know which options you have available
your rooted - assume yes, since you coldn't do the change
do you have adb available on your computer and the right drivers installed ?
if not:
download the newest KFU (.9.1) and run install_drivers.bat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
turn off usb mass storage mode: tap on the kf screen disconnect - but let it plugged
open a command prompt and cd to the tools folder (Kindle Fire Utility\tools)
there you should have the adb command availabe - you can test it with "adb devices" - you should get a device id back
then do the following commands:
adb shell
cp /sdcard/download/egl.cfg.bak /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg
chmod 0666 /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg

ok - your on the # prompt
if you issue:

then you get that it's read only ?
lets test something:
at the # prompt try to cd to /system/lib/egl/
and make a ls -l to see the permissions on your egl.cfg
they should be "-rw-rw-rw-" -> ok yours are not otherwise you would have not a black screen
but what are yours ?
does "chown root:root /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg" say the same ?

If I understand correctly, you try to execute the batch files to Root the Kindle Fire 7" HD: RunMe.bat (Step 1) or QemuRoot.bat (Step 2), Microsoft Windows returns an error Permission Denied or Access Denied. I suspect you are using Windows 7, correct? Try to Right Hand Mouse Click on then CMD.EXE Shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator".

"[email protected]:/ $ rm -r /data/local/tmp
rm -r /data/local/tmp
rm failed for /data/local/tmp, Permission denied"

Driver correct install, install Android SDK Packages (SDK Tools + Plattorm Tools installed, and google Driver), and Java too.

Had the same problem. DL my package and see if you have any better luck:
http://www.mediafire.com/?t570mx55pqw5ezw
Or here are my instructions anyways:
Instructions:
1. Install/update Java from "chromeinstall-7u10.exe"
2. Install Kindle Fire ADB Drivers with "Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe"
3. Place your Kindle fire in ADB mode (Settings->Security->Enable ADB->On) and connect your device by USB.
4. In the "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18" folder run "RunMe.bat"
5. Use Option one and follow the on-screen instructions
6. In the "QemuRoot_v1.0" folder, run "RootQemu.bat"
7. Follow the onscreen instructions.
8. You should be greeted with a success prompt.
*NOTE*
This method has gotten me farther and actually installs Superuser.apk, which I can open using ES File Explorer.
HOWEVER, Root still apparently doesn't work for me.

When you did Step 1, did you see Restore on the Kindle? Did you click on the Restore dialog and let the program reboot the Kindle? When the Kindle rebooted, was it running slow?

Yes i saw the restore window. i did the restore, the kindle rebooted and the 1st root programe (by bin4ry) seemed to work fine, it told me i had root. When i ran the Qemu root kit it failed on step 2.
No the kindle didnt seem to run slow. it did the very 1st time i tried to root it after the 7.3.2 update, but since doing a factory reset, the kindle didnt run slow after rooting attempts.
if you get me rooted i will post you a very sexy picture of my ankle!

After the first step, do not do anything to the Kindle, leave it alone after the reboot and proceed using the following updated Qemu program.
You may download the updated version here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Qmenu.zip
Extract to your desktop and run the RootQemu.bat file. Choose Option 1.

in the words of alan partridge....A HAAAA!
Solved the issue.....Instead of running the batch file as admin, i opened up 'CMD' as admin, then navigated (using command prompt) to the folder containing the root files and ran them.....it worked!!! it passed through step 2.
However....when i run es file explorer. i cannot access root

Ahhh, almost there. This is a bug in Superuser.apk - go into your Apps folder, you will see Superuser, click on it. It will open, now go to File Explorer, see if you can run as Root. I prefer Root Explorer.

Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3
Since this thread had seen a lot of changes over the last couple of weeks, I decided it was time to consolidate everything again, so here it is the consolidated and updated link version as of 12/23/2012:
The problem "Device not Found" is usually driver related or ADB Security issue. I assume you have ADB enabled under Security - Enable ADB? Also enable "Allow Installation of Applications" under the Device tab - this will allow installation of Google Play applications. If all OK, move onto the next step.
Next, as per the Qemu thread noted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838 you will find a driver package named "Kindle_Fire_HD_ADB_Drivers.zip", be sure to install the ADB driver package. Reboot the PC and next the Kindle.
As you noted, if you want to use Google Play, you must Root the device. Just to keep everything consolidated, I will give you a brief Rooting instructions which works for Software 7.2.2 and 7.2.3.
Download Root MANY ANDROID! to your desktop. Extract to your desktop.
Download Qemu automated root to your desktop. Extract to your desktop.
NOTE WINDOWS 7 USERS: You need to open a command prompt "as Administrator" when running the batch files RunMe.bat and RootQemu.bat - otherwise Windows will respond with "Permission Denied".
Root Step 1: Run RunMe.bat from Root MANY ANDROID! http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1886460. Choose option 1 Run Normal Method and ignore errors. Pay attention, you will need to answer "Restore" a dialogue box on the Kindle. Click on Restore. When the program has completed, the Kindle will Reboot.
Root Step 2: When the Kindle reboots it will react VERY slowly, this is normal - leave it alone. Proceed to Step 3.
Root Step 3: Run RootQemu.bat from Qemu automated root http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838. Follow the instructions Step-by-Step allowing Windows to re-detect the Kindle between reboots (about 2 minutes). Let this utility complete to the end.
Root Step 4: Click on Superuser.apk under the Apps tab.
You should now have root AND if this is true your ADB communication is also functional. Finally to Google Play.
Play Step 1 Move GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk to /system/app. Using Root explorer app on the Fire (be sure it has Superuser Permissions). Change permissions on both to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read. Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk
Play Step 2 Reboot the Kindle
Play Step 3 Download Vending.apk
Play Step 4 Using Root explorer app on the Fire (be sure it has Superuser Permissions). Move Vending.apk to /system/app with permissions set to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read.
Play Step 5 Install Vending.apk
Play Step 6 Google Play should show up in your Kindle Fire HD Apps. Tap on it and follow the steps.
Play Step 7 Download and install the Gplay3.8.17.apk to upgrade the the android market to the current Google Play market.
Play Step 8 Download google_apps - unzip to /sdcard/download
Play Step 9 Install Google Apps as needed. There is no need to move any of the apps to /system/app, just perform a normal apk install by using Root Explorer to install these apps.
I have also attached copies of these noted files to this thread.
Also, I have organized a few Google Apps & Services then zipped them into a folder you may download here: Google Apps. I have used all these Apps on my Kindle 7" HD successfully.
If you would like to disable the Amazon OTA Updates, delete or move /system/ect/security/otacerts.zip to /sdcard/download - Reboot the Kindle.
Finally, to eliminate Amazon from intercepting any Market requests, thus allowing Google Play to be the default Market move /system/app/MarketIntentProxy.apk to /sdcard/download - Reboot the Kindle

I'm also trying to do what previous users have been doing in this thread: running Rootqemu.bat but I still get permission denied on the second step. I've tried navigating to the folder using an administrator command prompt and running it through cmd, still fails on the second step with permission denied:
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /data/local.prop: Permission denied.
Have no idea where to go from here any help would be appreciated.

Kindle fire root for 10.2.6

THANKS TO JORDAN011 FOR SOME OF THIS INFO. i tried the origional post but got confused with some of the bits esspeciaolly as i didnt find mention of installing Java which was a big stumbling block so i did more tial and error and research and Rooted my Kindle - heres what i did with links: hope it helps (sorry pics didnt come out and niether did the highlighted instructions but short of time and have to popout -- follow it word for word and it will definately work
1. Turn your Kindle Fire on and swipe down the top bar and tap on More+
2. Goto device and turn on the “allow installation of applications” button (ontop of the reset factory defaults)
3. Go back and then goto Security and turn on the “enable ADB” button
4. On your PC Figure out if you have 32 bit or 64 bit windows running and download the correct versions of java and android sdk below:
5. Download and install Java se7u11 the JDK file. From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html. This is needed for the android SDK to work (otherwise ADB wont work). You may have to register and reboot
6. Download android SDK then extract the folder to your desktop and install the (green icon). download from https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
7. If you have installed java and the android sdk – you should get the following screen:
8. If SDK manager asks you to install any missing packages (button on bottom right corner) then install them/accept and install
9. Download then extract to desktop and install the Kindle fire ADB Drivers (don’t worry if there’s an error message – Just install Anyway as its an unsigned file. Download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838
10. Open up device manager ie start/control panel/hardware and sound/devices and printers/device manager
11. Turn on your kindle and plug it into the PC
12. Your kindle should be recognised in device manager as Andriod composite adb interface.
13. Download Bin4rysroot from here http://uploaded.net/file/0fpyh5c5
14. download Quemu root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838
15. Extract both the above files to your C Drive into two new folders and rename the folders Qemu (for quemuroot contents) and Root (forbin4ryroot contents)
16. THE ROOTING PART NOW!!
17. On the Pc goto Start and type in CMD then right click on the CMD icon at the top of the window and select “Run as Administrator” and hit yes if the User Account Control window pops up and a dos window will appear
18. Copy and past (or type this into the window) cd ..\..\Root then hit enter
19. Copy and past (or type this into the window) runme.bat then hit enter
20. When the screen shows an interface, type 1 then hit enter, A lot of errors will show up but that's fine
21. When your kindle shows a "Restore" screen hit restore my data your kindle will restore and reboot (may take some time be patient!)
22. After it finishes out you should get a command line on the pc saying “press any key to continue” when you do that you will see C:|\Root>
23. Copy and past (or type this into the window) cd ..\Qemu then hit enter
24. Copy and past (or type this into the window) rootqemu.bat then hit enter
25. When you get another interface type 1, then hit enter, press enter twice until it starts the steps.
26. It'll restart your kindle a couple times make sure you don't press enter until it has booted up again whenever it prompts you to (ie wait 3 mins before pressing enter) your Now rooted – you don’t have to press any key on the pc now.
27. If you want proof, you can download Es File explorer and in the apps settings goto root settings grant it Root permissions in the settings by ticking root explorer boxe and clicking yes and grant for both

:good: thank for sharing..wil try root my kindle fire...cheerzz

Thought this was great, could finally get my mum's Kindle rooted and put Play Store on it....... Then found that it says I've reached my download limit and that I need to register and pay...
Back to the drawing board.

Rooting Kindle Fire 10.2.6
I was able to get my Kindle Fire .v2 rooted. I ran through the process again. This time going back to the beginning.
I wasn't able to get it to run, so I refreshed the files, and ran it again. It took 2 attempts to get the first script to run. I thought it didn't run, so I was searching for a reason why. Then I looked up, and the script had finished. Then it took 3 times for the second part of the script to complete.
After getting the the launcher I wanted installed (APEX failed, so did Novo and a few others) AWD worked, but I was unable to get it to be the default launcher. (the kindle launchers 'default' settings were grayed out.
I then went into /system/app and renamed Launcher.apk to Launcher Default.apk and the com.awd.launcher-1.apk to Launcher.apk.
the system didn't respond when I pressed the home key, so I took a chance and rebooted my kindle.
When it rebooted, I was asked which launcher I wanted to use, so I clicked set as default, and clicked on AWD.
All is good now. Thanks
