I've been trying last night and today, and it won't work. The version is 6.3.3. Drivers are fine, shows up as Android Composite ADB Interface in device manager on windows 7. I can access the Kindle as a drive on my PC. When I run Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9, it reports
ADB Status: Online
Boot Status: Unknown.
If I try to either manually set fastboot with option 1 Bootmode Menu, or try to "Install Permanent Root with Superuser" option 2, it has
Installing Permanent Root
Activating Fastboot (4002)
5090 KB/s (510876 bytes in 0.09x) then this:
couldn't write bp1, panic!
finds twrp.img, and downloads fff.bin. Then the kindle reboots, KFU says "Installing FFF..." and <waiting for device>.
But then does nothing, even after I swipe the lock and go back into file transfer mode on the kindle.
Anything I try to do reports "couldn't write bp1, panic!" on KFU. I have another kindle that rooted fine, this one just refuses to.
Any ideas?

You have another kindle that has 6.3.3 that rooted with no issues? Just curious. Planning on rooting mine as well and looking for any insight as I don't want to brick my device since it updated to 6.3.3 on me.

Yes, I actually had 2 of them that rooted fine. They are all KF HD 7" First Generation. This one just won't. I'm now working with the KF First Aide tool kit, and I now get SU: ACCESS DENIED or something like that. Communication with ADB is fine, there's a permission issue somewhere I can't figure out.

Rooting Kindle running 6.3.3
so you have successfully rooted a kindle fire hd running 6.3.3? I have spent all day trying to figure out how to root mine and install a version of jelly bean. Could you point me in the direction of what versions of jellybean/kindle fire utility to use? i have tried using kf utility 0.9.9 and i have the same issue as you where it says the device is online but the boot status is unknown. Thx for the help.

Awww crapola. Nevermind. All I knew was that both of them were on 6.3.3, so I thought that was what they've always been on. Bzzzzt. The one that was working still has the adw launcher installed, but it doesn't have root any more. So THAT'S why KFU doesn't work on this new one.
They are my girlfriend's kids' kindles, and I told her not to ever update them, but I guess this one was pushed out.
So.... how long until theres a root kit for 6.3.3?

Didn't brick it, but didn't work either. The apk installs just fine, but when I click the "make it rain" button that says the device will reboot, nothing happens. The device does not reboot, and is not rooted. I tried rebooting the kindle and trying again with the same result. I guess I now fit the definition of insanity.

And... tried V2 of towelroot this morning. Still no worky-worky.
Somebody get a straitjacket.
Old rooting methods not working yah...
What I have done -
1. fastboot using factory cable
2. install TWRP+FFF with KFU
3.flash modified pre-rooted ROM
If Amazon continues updating 1st gen, not sure there are lots of enthusiasts, who would continue rooting it. Thus decided to switch to alternative ROM. Well, stock is better for battery etc... etc... but as I do also have HDX and most of time use it, having stock ROM on 1st gen is not as crucial for me.
According to this post (and the post above^^), if you have a factory cable (special cable used to power on in bootloader mode), you can revert to a custom recovery and bootloader and then flash a 6.3.2 ROM. Problem then is avoiding another OTA.

My brother just attempted to root his kindle with the kfu. He rooted his kindle, and he changed his wallpaper with kfu as well. After this, he put root check on his kindle after some issues with mounting as read write using root explorer. It turns out, his kindle was NOT rooted, after changing the wallpaper witht kfu, which NEEDS root access, and even after redoing the process of installing another root on his kindle.
What should he do? My kindle was rooted manually, but since kfu came out, no manual instructions are really available. If we have to root manually, what commands do i need to use and whatnot?
Thank you for your time. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you want to keep the stock look then you can flash MoDaCo. Otherwise there are plenty of ICS and CM7 roms you can use.

I'm having problems getting my computer to recognize the kindle fire in fastboot mode. i have tried to root my device for around a week.
also i am getting a screen on kfu that says,
Fastboot uses a different device than ADB. You should check device manager for 'Kindle" or "Amazon"
If you see it, rerun the driver installer that came packaged with KFU

Then i go to device manger and i see Kindle. after that i rerun the driver install that came packaged with kfu.
I get this error message

Sometimes it helps to run this wizard again. If that doesn't work, contact your device vendor

i run the driver installer and it still doesnt work. i've already changed the settings on my computer so it can install unsigned drivers.

On your EeePC look under devices and find a device called "Android Phone", "Kindle Fire" or something to that effect that is using the WinUSB drivers. Uninstall it and you will be able to reinstall the drivers from the KFU/Drivers folder.
Thank you so much helped out a lot
Was attempting to re-root my Fire with KFU, however KFU chose to install TWRP first which I think prevented me from ever achieving root. So as instructed to reinstate my stock Fire out of the box I flashed the update file as I had before to unroot it which worked perfectly. However, now I am stuck at the Kindle Fire boot screen and no TWRP to boot into recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reverting to stock, does just that. It reverts your device to the state it was in when it came out of the box, and is completely unnecessary. TRWP does not prevent "root", it simply aids in the "rooting" process, which is unnecessary in itself.
Put your device in fastboot (very likely it already is), reinstall TWRP, install FFF, wipe partitions, and flash a ROM. Problem solved.
IF any of this is foreign to you, you should do a little research before continuing and getting yourself into more trouble.

Getting the attached error from windows..
What I think is that you are in a different bootmode, but your kindle is not showing up as a adb device. Have you tried hard resetting? But remember, unplug the USB cable, then hold the power button for 20 seconds, power back up, and then see if you can see the kindle appearing in KFU
Edit: I agree with soupmagnet. If my suggestion doesn't work then use the links he posted and follow his method

Forget about rooting it for a second. It is unnecessary. Install a custom ROM and be done with it.

That depends. If you are keeping stock OS I would upgrade first to 10.2.6 and then root using the tools in the dev section. That way you will have all the fixes and improvements before you root. Try running the Binary tool first and see if you have root, before trying the Qemu tool in case you don't need it.

If you are going to flash other ROMs, then just try rooting using the tools in the dev section.
I would recommend backing up your partitions after you have rooted, so you can always put it back to stock.

Sorry if this is a repost but I couldn't find anything on the subject.
I just got my Kindle Fire (1st gen) today and was toying around with it. It was connected to my wifi and then without prompting me shut off and began updating. I knew that there was no root for it so I turned the kindle off by holding the power button while it was updating. Is there any way for me to disable the update without powering it on the whole way?
It currently has 6.3.2 and I don't want to update to 6.3.3
I am aware that you can root 6.3.3 but from my understanding it requires a factory cable which I currently do not have.
Thank you
Update: I did some more digging and saw that it could be rooted but could not install a custom recovery without a factory cable. My apologies.

I would never shut off any operating system in the middle of an update. It is trouble. I wish you the best, but I think you should be purchasing a factory cable.

Maybe you could push fbmode can't test it my device is so far from stock never going back My point about smirkit is fastboot is not needed it writes bootloader and recovery from a running system. The only prerequisites are superuser or supersu, busybox with .sh working, terminal emulator and smirkit of course.

Yep it works I just need different commands
my steps
I just did
Step 1: Root the kindle fire
Step 2: Download fbmode
Step 3: Install fbmode by using adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp
Step 4: Set fbmode permissions by using: adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode
Step 5: Run these commands here:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./fbmode
exit
exit
Kindle reboots to fastboot mode
6. downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img and fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
7. placed in adb folder
8. ran these command in command prompt
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

Also move fbmode, FFF, and TWRP. Be sure to verify md5 checksums for FFF and TWRP flashing a corrupt Bootloader is bad.
Hey all!
I'm sorry if there's a post about this somewhere and I missed it but I looked and couldn't find anything.
I recently bought a 1st gen Kindle Fire off a friend of mine and I want to root it so I can have a bit more usability than what it comes with. The problem is that it's running 6.3.4 and I've only been seeing root help and tools for 6.3.2 and lower. I tried using the KFU but the root tool there wasn't able to perform the necessary operations (it just restarts in fastboot and won't continue from there). Does anyone have any tips or advice for how I would still be able to root this device? I've even looked into trying to revert back to 6.3.2 but haven't found anything that allows for that.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

Okay, so I followed all of the steps to the letter on the first post you listed and its rooted and have Google apps on there now through KFU. The problem is now that I can't install TWRP or FireFireFire. It goes back to not working in fastboot. I'm pretty new to rooting but I want to put some version of android onto this but I can't find any troubleshoot for this particular problem.

When I try to push the fbmode file to the kindle it keeps saying device not found (adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp). Its one of the first steps. I have the drivers installed and the computer is recognizing the device is connected but it's not going any further. I tried reinstalling the drivers but nothing's worked so far.

I did, and then when I was ready to do it myself I put it back on with the intention of following you step by step but I got stopped right here in the beginning. I have the C drive adb folder with all of the files you listed and I verified each download.

I've tried it with two different USB cables in every port on my computer with no luck. I even tried my old Motorola USB cable that I used to root my Droid years ago with no success.

I haven't been able to push any other rom to it but I did use KFU to install Google Play and GoLauncher but beyond that I haven't done anything else to it.
