I have a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" Current Version: 14.3.1.0_user_310079820
I tried to root my kindle a few weeks back and got a bit confused. I can't tell If I have rooted my kindle succesfully.
Installed ADB (Windows states that driver is already installed)
Try to update device drivers, select kindle but no device drivers are avaliable to install.
I'm just really confused. I just want to learn how to root a kindle, install a custom ROM then be able to restore it to stock if I don't like it.
Can any one tell me if I have rooted my device or not?

I need some help with this I rooted my first gen kindle fire with the kindle fire utility v0.9.6found on this website. Everything went successful I installed superuser, firefirefire and a new rom. I dodn't like it so I downloaded the stock update from amazon and tried to install it using twrp but it said that it filed and when I tried to reboot it it said it had no OS installed. I can make the kindle appear on computer but I can't open it only right-click it. I've tried installing twrp manually but I always get stuck at waiting for device. When the Kindle reboots reconnects and disconnects and then reconnects. But all I see is the kindle fire logo. It can sit there for hours and it doesn't do anything.I've tried KindleUnbrick Utility V0.1 V 1.0 and V1.1 But those don't work because they say the device was offline even it actually wasn't. Iv tried everything unless someone has an idea.
I have a Kindle Fire 1 with Software Version is 10.4.6_user_4620220 and ADB not working with this version.
How to downgrade Software Version 10.4.6 to 6.3.2.
I need help.
First thing I want to mention, you don't downgrade from a 10.x.x os to a 6.x.x os, because the 10.x.x os is a kf2 os, and the 6.x.x os is a kf1 os, so all you would succeed in doing is bricking the device. Second thing, based on what you just said, you don't have a kf1, you have a kf2. So what would you like to do? Also what do you mean adb isn't working, if USB debugging is enabled, then you should have a device in the task manager show up, it may have an exclamation, if so use the drivers in my signature to update the drivers and adb should work.

I rooted my kindle and installed a 2nd bootloader and TWRP it worked fine for a few days but then i decided to upgrade my TWRP and i some how corrupted my bootloader and now my kindle is stuck on the boot screen which shows the logo Kindle in White and Fire in Orange it does not go ahead. My pc does not even detect my kindle so I read this thread

It does not go into fastboot.
I tried to upgrade from TWRP 2.6.0.0 to 2.8

I was trying to install CM 12.1 to my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and I believe it is bricked. I feel as if there is an easy fix but I have been trying for 2 month to no avail. So I finally decided to make an account to try to fix it. So I was using a tutorial to root my Kindle Fire, (I'm a new user so I can't post outside links yet) and everything was going fine until it would only boot into the blue Kindle Fire logo. After about a month I figured out that it was just my terrible, broken volume buttons, and I eventually booted my device into TWRP. From there, I tried to add the CM 12.1 to the Kindle, but it wouldn't recognize my device so I couldn't get into the device to add the files. So I just backed up my OS, and tried to boot into my recovery. I read somewhere that it is a big no-no. Who knows? Anyways, it booted into a normal Kindle Fire logo, just stuck. I did get my device into fastboot, but it won't recognize the device. Every time I try to use any recovery tool, KFHD SRT in specific, it just says no device found. I've been messing with drivers for ages. I've tried using the Amazon driver installer, tried using Android_winusb.inf (I don't even know if I was supposed to do that) and somehow every time I'd uninstall the driver, it would re-install as Android ADB Interface, and wouldn't be recognized by anything. Not ADB, or any recovery. Any help please? Sorry if this was posted in the wrong section, but please, someone just help me get my device running in CM 12.1 or any CM.

Apple devices like iPhone's are jailbroke not android devices.
Most of the advantages of jailbraking are already available by default even on a Fire Tablet.
