Unable to Root my Kindle Fire(6.3.1) using KFU

I tried to root my Kindle Fire using KFU 0.9.6. But am unable to root, only the TWRP got installed.
In almost all the websites I found that once TWRP got installed properly then the yellow triangle will appear during reboot. But am unable to see that during reboot.
But am able to see kindle fire with blue color, instead of the ellow Triangle
could someone help me out in this?
thx in advance.

how do you know that TWRP got installed if you can't see the bootloader icon? Maybe try a different version of KFU, 0.9.5 works for me. Also be sure that your KFU recognizes your kindle when it's plugged in. The ADB status should say ONLINE in the main menu window.

Try this video on how to root 6.3.1 it works for me perfectly fine just make sure you follow all of the steps word for word. Just go to YouTube and type in "how to root kindle fire nat3mil" I would have posted a link but I'm new so it won't let me post links.

The yellow icon is the old version . The Kindle Fire with Fire in blue is the new version. It threw me off when I rooted mine for the 1st time too.

Yeah, this should be the version of Fire Fire Fire (1.4a) that was installed with KFU 0.9.6. There is a slight bug in the load up that will require you to tap the power button a few times to be able to switch between loaders (Normal, Recovery, Fast). Hashcode knows of it but it's not really a priority at this point since it's not causing anyone issues getting in to Recovery. Just a couple extra taps of the power button does the trick.
If you're looking to do a full wipe of the stock rom, make sure you clear cache, dalvik cache and do a factory reset.

I got to know that its bcoz of firefirefire am unable to see the yellow triangle. Now I flashed using the prerooted stock Rom. Installed play store. Working gr8... thanks for all those replied...

Rooted Amazon Kindle Fire with KFU Utility
Hey guys just wanted to give a little input. I was able to use the KFU utility ( the newest version ) and it worked just fine. I now have the Recovery installed TWRP but flashed Clockwork Recovery and all works. I'm looking to flash a 4.0 ICS version but haven't found the right source or file. Maybe I can be lead in the right direction. Thanks in advance! !!! Also uploading pic:

I also had problems with the latest KFU. I was left with 'partially' rooted device. I installed superuser.apk after that and now it's OK. I can even temporary unroot it to using OTA RootKeeper. AFAIK the only way to watch Amazon Prime videos is to temporary unroot the device.

Hey just wanted to reply about video player. I also was having problems playing videos after downloading videos like 3gp's and MP4's respectively. I downloaded a video player for those formats and now no longer have a problem viewing videos after download.

I highly suggest you do not use ClockWorkMod Recovery with the Kindle Fire. It has been known to cause the Kindle to brick. Stick with TWRP even if you don't like it.

Unable to root! Stucked on TWRPP 2.2.0 Screen with several options
Hello,
I've tried to root my Kindle fire using KFU 0.9.6)
However, when the KFU is processing the rooting, the kindle restarts and stucks itself on the TWRPP Screen with several options (Install, Backup, Restore...) and the KFU software shows a message of Please wait.
Does anyone know how to move on with the rooting?
Thanks in advanced

Rooted Fire but no Playstore

Last night I rooted my KF using KFU and hashcode's version of CM10, but I can't seem to find the Playstore app anywhere. It seems that the Playstore did not load.
Did I miss something?
I really like how responsive the KF is, as compared with the stock Amazon UI.

You also need to flash the appropriate gapps ( Google apps). You can find a link to the file in the OP of the ROM you flashed.

From Original thread:
Hi all, some of you may have seen my utility over in the de-bricking thread. My goal at this point is to try and make lives easier for everyone I can.
So what I have done is created a script that can be used to handle a lot of common things people may want, and I will continue to add things people request that I think would be easy, and beneficial. I just wanted to make this situation easier for the average person.
You will see how the tool detects you at the default screen, and can refresh it by hitting 0 at any menu to have it refresh ADB/Fastboot and see what mode the kindle is in.
Currently the tool comes packaged with the drivers required to operate ADB and Fastboot.
Please note: If your device can't be seen in fastboot mode, please make sure to install the drivers packaged with this, as it will show up afterwards. You can use the install_drivers.bat with the device plugged in for this.
Usage should be straight forward for the tool. If you are having issues with something, this tool has a good chance of getting you back on track.

Hello.
I have a few questions.
Does matter what kind of USB cable I use? I have a Samsung one so I was wondering if I could use that. And to install Root itself you need the drivers right? Where do I get the drivers for 6.3.2? After it recognizes the kindle I just click the root option and... Kaboom right!!? Lol.
Thank you for your help.

You need to run install_drivers.bat the run kfu and select root with your device connected in normal mode. The drivers should be universal with any ROM. Also, as long as the cable you are using is a micro-usb it should work I use an HTC cable and it works.

v0.9.8 fixes a md5 sum mismatch bug when installing TWRP
v0.9.8+ Has a little bit more touched up code and now fully implements the Dual Boot feature
Enjoy! And please read the readme.txt in the v0.9.8+ zip, thanks.

So for the dual boot, does this just set up the partitions, and then I can go install the two ROMs in recovery? Or does it also install two previously downloaded ROMs?

The dual boot installs the modified boot loader and resizes the partitions. Then you need to flash altrom-format-all.zip. When I update next I'll put more info in the readme

OK. I'd like to dual boot Jelly bean and a stock rooted image (Modaco maybe), so next time I am free, perhaps I'll use your tool to tackle that task.
Thanks for expanding the capabilities of this utility.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I tried everything in the book (and a few things not listed) to get the last version to work with my KF, and never had any luck. 0.9.8+ works like magic. Great job!

Highly appreciate the dual boot thing. Had to do it manually back in the day, and it was quite a job... Thanx.

They will sticky this now that the original thread is closed, right?

Re-read the OP and look for the big green text now

okay guys, i have a question.
my adb status is online but my boot status is unknown. i probably dont have the drivers installed . and when i try to run the install drivers it says that the some path is not specified. So how would i download the drivers?
oh and the path that it cant find is \drivers\dpinst64.exe .
any suggestions?

[Q] This is probably a stupid question but I need to know.

I am a complete noob and I have a question. I am going to root my kindle fire with "Kindle Fire Utility 0.98+" and I know that I have to install permanent root, but what else on the menu do I need to install, and is there any particular order to install them, and how to UN-root if I have too.
Sorry for a stupid question but I am not accustom to these things like the younger generation.
Thanks,
Scotty

Make sure what kindle version you got. You don't want to brick it. All the tools you need should be in kfu. Good luck

I have version 6.3.2 on the kindle fire. I have done research and reading but can not figure out if I need to install eveyrthing that is on the menu or what these things do. Once I figure that out, I can go ahead and root but not until.

If all you need to do is root, just select the root option in the menu. It will install everything you need.

I know there is, but the only option I can give you is to uninstall superuser when you are rooted. That will not give anything access to root. Is this the same as unrooting? I don't know.
Also, you could flash the stock update.zip after taking appropriate measures in TWRP and wiping the things you need to to go back to the unmodded kindle fire OS.

Yes, just download one of the update files from KFU and install them and you will be unrooted. Or uninstall superuser after deleting su in the /system directory.

[Q] How to install TWRP Recovery on KFHD7 with stock rom?

I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 (7.4.6) rooted and I want to know if there's a way that I can install the TWRP Recovery without flashing any rom at the moment and most important without bricking it. I want to have it installed in case that in a future I want to flash a rom. I think it's a must have tool on this device but I'm not quite sure if it's possible and I don't want to try how-to's that I've read in these forums because it's not what I'm looking for and I don't want to mess up the KF . Any help or advice on this will be very appreciated. :angel:
