Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Kindle Fire. It works perfectly fine, but I tried rooting it, and it was unsuccessful; I do not have any superuser privileges. I think the problem may be that I tried rooting my Kindle Fire using a program designed for 6.2.2., and It's running 6.31. I would like to re-root it so I can install Android SDK and get the coolest latest software, Google Play, etc.
I am running on Mac OS X Mountain Lion, so I don't know if that will make a huge difference in the rooting process.
If anyone can give me a simple step-by-step (1, 2, 3) guide for how I could re-root my kindle and URLs that would guide me through the process, I would really appreciate it! I have been trying to figure this out, but I've been really stumped.
Thank you,
Ari

So for the last 7 hours i've been researching how to root/ install JB or another rom onto this brand new kindle i have running 10.2.3.
I've got ADB running and i've tried Sparkym3 and a few other root methods and i keep getting permission denied when i go to write fbmode or su
SO i'm at a loss, i'd really like to get this installed and working for my handicapped father's new kindle, its his xmas gift, and i know i'd prefer he be able to use google play and stuff.
Any help would be fantastic, this is really rattling my brain.

I just want a work around to be able to get google play, and how is this the wrong thread? I have a kindle fire...and a question lol
The information in this forum is for the 1st gen. Kindle Fire. To avoid having the methods here be misleading to anyone seeking help with their devices. That doesn't take away from the fact that someone was still willing to point you in the right direction for your device specificly. This is to prevent confusion for all involved and what you need is not in this forum.
And also the fact that following any of the guides in this forum could possible HARD-BRICK your 2gen kindle fire. Consider yourself warned

Hi everyone,
I am looking for someone to help me root my kindle fire 2, 7inch, non-hd please.
I have searched for many threads and methods, and found the Qemu method and Root with Restore.
When I try to run root with restore it does not progress past *daemon started successfully*, and with Qemu it does not detect my device.
Could someone please HELP me with this, tell me how you did it step by step?
I am running windows 7 w. bootcamp on my iMac.

Thanks for this, I used Bookcase's method first then a couple of others. In the end I got there.
Should I request for this thread to be closed or is it automatic? Seeing as it's been inactive for 2 weeks and is really just one link of importance.

Its not automatic. If you want to keep things clean you can report yourself to request the thread be locked. I've done it to myself in the past

Hi all,
I'm 100% new to rooting and just want something I hope is simple to do.
I would like to be able to use google play store/services on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (8.4.6).
I've seen a lot of threads here that go over rooting and installing a 2nd boot loader and other custom roms. However, I'm curious to know if its possible to just do this with only rooting and without the need of a 2nd boot loader or a custom rom.
Please let me know if this is possible and how I could do it.
No longer need help. Just decided to go with a full root/custom rom. Up and running KK4.4
Thnx
Youtube is your friend

I used this video. It's a bit fast and not very detailed. However, in the description he gives a web address for step by step instructions with pics. I recommend this for any noob out there.

Sorry for the double post....posted this earlier today with no hits.
Hello all. Glad to have found this forum. Been here for a short time and from the looks of it, I am in the right place.
Have a Kindle Fire 2nd Gen and was looking to flip it to Android OS.
Problem - My Kindle did an OTA software update and from reading the forum doesn't look like I will be able to go back to an older version which means I am stuck with the simple Android 2.(something).
As this forum has a wealth of information I know I have not read every tread......
Any advice on converting to Android 4.(something)?
My Kindle Fire has SW Version 10.4.8
Thanks in advance for any help.
wrong forum, you have a Kindle Fire 2, I have requested that this thread be moved to
7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
but you should read [REF]All Things About Kindle Fire 2
edit: thread was moved from Kindle Fire General
to Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting

Thanks for the direction and help. Will keep searching.
You need to root, and install Twrp recovery, then you can install custom roms.

I was reading on a different part of the forum that if I root it the way it stands (w/ SW 10.4.8) I would brick it. The warning was pretty certain because with this SW build it closes all the "holes" - so to speak.
Unless there has been some new development.

You misunderstand q5. You can root 10.4.8
If you want to install the second bootloader and twrp you'll have to downgrade the bootloader. .. But root is fine

I guess the next question would be has anyone successfully converted 10.4.8 to Android?
If so, what are the steps. I can find steps for an older SW version but not 10.4.8.

Yes. I have. Follow these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963
You'll see that part of the instructions will downgrade the bootloader. I greatly recommends that you have a fastboot cable available since this is a notoriously tricky device. Hit me up on Pm if you need more detailed assistance.
You only! Lol. Every time I say that I get 1000 pms from other people.
