I'm not too familiar with ADB and fastboot. Is there a way for me to upgrade to TWRP 2.2 using KFU? I'm currently running 2.1. I tried updating my recovery via KFU but I think it installed 2.1 again. Thank you.

If you want to do it with KFU, I would think that you should replace TWRP on the KFU folder with the newer one.

Thanks. I tried this but it said it didn't match the MD5 or something?
one of the posts on the 2.2.0 discussion included a flashable zip file. simply put that onto your sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash it.

I want to root my 8.9.
I have prepared everything to root it with the KFFirst Aide method. Before I want to start, my Kindle have updatet to 8.4.1.
Do the KFFFirstAide method work on 8.4.1?
I`have all the necessary data already downloaded and adb and fastboot works with option 16.
Can I start the root process without probelms with this method?
I want to install playsore and perhaps later twrp recovery.

I can't answer the question regarding the KFFirst Aide rooting utility but I can tell you that using the Bin4ry tool on 8.4.1 does work. I'm now looking for a method to install TWRP 2.4.4 in conjunction with 8.4.1. If you have any ideas let us know.

I also was OTA upgraded to 8.4.3. However, I did not lose root or the Google Play Store download/install capability. Bin4ry ver. 30 worked for me to root 8.4.1 and as I've stated, I did not lose root after being upgraded to 8.4.3.
Could someone please post the link to the thread on the latest Binary root method for Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Thanks

hi!
link to Binary
I strongly recommend soupkit, a Linux-live-system based installer. After installing it on a usb stick and booting from the stick you have everythink perfectly set up. I rooted with Soupkit in < 30 min!
Soupkit
For those rooting for the first time, I just rooted my KF HD 8.9 with the Root Many method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
The Qemu root method did not work for me. I did make sure to install and test the ADB drivers first. I rooted both 8.4.3 and 8.4.1. I was OTA updated right after rooting 8.4.1 I intend to prevent any more OTA updates with Droidwall.
I tried doing the SoupKit method but I'm having trouble with the ADB. Rootplus couldn't detect any ADB in the folder even though it's there. As for the Binary method, I tried doing it for several hours yesterday but I can't get it to work. What should be the first steps before I use the Binary root program? Sorry, but I'm really such a noob at this. My Kindle btw is 8.9 version 8.4.3

KFF will root both 8.4.1 and 8.4.3.

the binaries provided by soupkit are for 32 Bit. Maybe you used a 64 Bit Linux installation? (Tried 64 Bit at first and it did not work, with 32 Bit it worked like a charm)
Finally got my Kindle rooted. I used the Soupkit method using Ubuntu 32 bit. Thanks everyone.
All of the threads that I have read are using Windows and are using a Kindle Fire version earlier than 6.3.4. None use Ubuntu. Also, that thing about getting into USB debugging doesn't seem to work with this version. Can anyone please help me. I would also like to know how to get TWRP installed and flash a custom rom onto the Kindle.

I have a Fire HD10". It is rooted and runs fine. I need to get TWRP installed on it, is there a way to do this without using Linux ? What is the best way to install TWRP on the Fire10" ?
Thank you

I've done a search on the forum and can't find the exact answer I'm after. I have a Fire TV2 box that I would prefer to keep on Fire OS 5.0.5. TWRP Recovery is currently on 3.0.0-4 and I would like to update it to the latest version without installing the latest Fire OS pre-rooted ROM. There are many guides on the internet for updating TWRP on Android phone and I wonder if it is the same approach for Fire TV (and I can just follow one of those)? Thanks for all help.

Nope, since TWRP runs from a ram disk, not from the recovery partition..
OK. So other than installing latest pre-rooted ROM is there anyway to update TWRP recovery (& stay on the Fire OS I’m currently on)? Thanks.
