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

Hello,
I am new to Android and rooting an general but so far what I have done I have liked. I have rooted the Kindle fire .I downloaded version 0.9.6 from xda-developers.com and the OS is 6.3.1 ( I think this is Gingerbread?).
My question is, I would like to install ICS on the Kindle but I am not sure where to start and what is the most stable? Is there a stock image from Google? If I get one from xda will there some how be malware attached? can I trust from other sources? what am I looking for in a image?
Thanks

It is easy to install ics if you have twrp installed. Well do you?. If you do. download the ics.zip and go on twrp click on install
look for the zip folder and the slide to install

This is just what I was looking for, thanks!
So i got the update 6.3.1 bin file from amazon... i renamed to zip then extracted... i then put the su.bin file in /system/bin and the Superuser apk in the /system/app directories located within the update. I tried changing build.prop to say 6.3.2 and the key to be 4157720 i also changed the meta-inf/com/android/metadata and in meta-inf/com/google/android/updater-script, but when i clicked update your kindle after re zipping then renaming to 6.3.2.bin nothing happened except for the update being deleted out of the kindleupdates folder... should i just wait to root the next update then put it in kindleupdates?

Just an educated guess here, but I'm sure there are a series of checks done on the archive to confirm that it's an Amazon sanctioned update. What those checks might be... I don't know. I haven't read about anybody discussing them. Besides, if it was this easy... you'd be able to drop a custom ROM into that folder and have the Kindle Fire transform into a Jelly Bean tablet after a reboot. I suggest you just do this the old fashioned way...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452
or maybe even just flash modaco and be done with it.
modaco is the way to go if you want the very best stock experience and retain root....the standard version not the altrom version..altrom is for dual boot which is entirely different... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916
Ill probably just wait for 6.4(or whatever the next update will be) and dl it before i get hit by the ota update then add su.bin and superuser apk then turn wifi back on and update... i hope it will work!

You are probably right, but I don't think that's it... i tried putting the update bin straight from amazon to kindleupdates and it did the exact same thing.

First of all, I'd like to thank you all that make this community so valuable to us. I read the forum since I got my KF, around 6 months ago, and all the tutorials are very well detailed.
Today I tried to install a new ROM on my Kindle for the first time. It all went well, and I successfully installed the stock Jelly Bean from Hashcode. But the problem now is: I don't know how to install the GApps on it.
I'm trying to use the ADB and Kindle Fire Utility but it doesn't find the device.
Anyone of you guys could give me a hand with that problem?
Thanks
Are you using twrp? You flash gapps onto it the same way you flash a Rom. Boot into twrp, go to install, locate the directory where you have the gapps.zip file stored and click on it, flash it. Then wipe cache/ and dalvik cache and reboot.

I think the problem is with the adp drivers...I can not find my device so I can restart it with TWRP.
Ok but if you have fire fire fire and twrp installed already you should be able to bout into twrp by pushing the power button repeatedly during startup until it shows you voting into recovery mode.
Make sure you have the correct drivers installed,I believe the kf should show up as composite adb interface device on your pc with the right drivers. Someone else might be able to help you more but really the easiest way to flash gapps is to do it through twrp the exact same way you flash the new Rom minus the system wipe and factory reset.
Your device is a first gen kindle I assume?

Yes, it is a first gen Kindle.
I'm trying to boot to TWRP pressing the power button during startup but either I'm doing it wrong or something went bad after I installed the ROM.
I also tried to install the ADB driver in another computer but after I connect the kindle the PC recognizes it only as "Amazon Kindle Fire", and not the ADB interface.
I don't know what to do. But thanks for your help!
Try using the pc that is recognizing it as a kindle fire, uninstall the kindle fire drivers through device manager and then install the Google adb drivers, then hook the kindle back up to it via usb and see if it shows up correctly then?
Is your boot screen showing kindle fire in blue and white or the stock orange or something else?

The ROM is indeed much better than the stock one on the KF.
As title says. I have GalaxySBean installed.
Edit: I fixed it. I just had to mount USB storage in TWRP.

Ok.......what type of computer are you using.....that info would be helpful for those who have more knowledge
Also, what are you trying to accomplish.
Having the same issue. Tried on three laptops, two with Windows 7 and one with Windows 8. One of the laptops didn't have any ADB drivers installed perviously. Tried the drivers included in KFU, the Amazon drivers in the Android SDK, as well as a modified Google WinUSB. Getting Code 43 upon plugging it in. If I manually pick Kindle Fire from the driver list, I then encounter Code 10. Tried factory resetting the Kindle Fire. The device functions 100% other than this issue so I am very confused what the problem is. It is on the latest version,
Same Prob!
Trying to flash a ROM to my "bricked" kindle using TWRP, but my computer won't recognize my kindle at all, not even in KFU, should I try a different computer?
same issue - just rooted and flashed today, and after installing CM10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2, none of my computers (1 Win8, 1 Win7) will recognize it in device manager. i really don't know what to do...
as a workaround, is there another way to transfer a .apk file to the kindle without connecting to a computer? I'm just trying to get Google Play so I can operate it independently of a computer...
to Rocket Nine and further: what TWRP version are you running? what were you running before this happened? what ROM are you currently running?
siudan1977: there is already Google Play on your device, given that you also flashed a Gapps. if you didn't, download one from the place that your ROM came from, but on your kindle. not your computer. then boot into TWRP, and flash the Gapps package you downloaded.

Thanks so much for the response! Downloaded Gapps on my kindle, but can't boot to TWRP now - other videos showed the way to cycle through options with the power button, but that doesn't show up for me - goes straight from the kindle fire logo (no text at bottom) to the CyanogenMod loading screen. any ideas what might be going on?
is your kindle logo blue and white? does it have 1.4a in the upper right corner?
