BurritoRoot3 is an all in one package, to root and install the custom bootlaoder, FireFireFire, onto the KindleFire.
Instructions are pretty plain and simple, however you will have to get adb working on your own (if you have written, or know of adb guides for the Kindle Fire please PM me to list them here).

I love you Devs so much. I just got a Kindle today, but as I watched the video your Kindle shows up under Other Devices as if it didn't install the device driver. Mine is installed under portable devices. Can I just update that one or is there a debug mode for the Kindle that I'm missing?
Thanks for all you do!

LoL Nevermind I think I know why mine isn't there... I've already installed ADB from before. I shall continue on and see what happens :-D

I'm currently running Ubuntu 11.10(Without access to a windows computer to do so.) And after following the steps within the BurritoRoot I get error: insufficient permissions for device when entering adb root. I've rebooted my kindle and laptop as well as changed usb ports.
I've set it up so that it's acknowledged within /.android. Am I perhaps missing something sdk wise? The usb configuration install for extras within it says Linux isn't compatible. But any insight into this would be appreciated I'm not new to Android or adb for that matter. Things seem to be done differently for the Kindle is all.
Thanks guys.

I can not get ADB to recognize the device for the life of me.
I know I have the drivers installed the Fire is recognized as "android composite adb interface" under the Android Phone category in Device manager. But I can not get adb to see it.
"Adb kill-server"
"adb devices"
and it shows no devices attached. Ive done a factory reset on the tablet just to see (knowing it wouldn't make a difference)
Im running Windows XP

Thanks man, I knew I must have failed to do something. It's much appreciated.

Dis this last night and it worked fine. Thanks!
I did have a few minor stumbles though. It seems the newest version of the software changed the name of the superuser app but the guide still uses the old name in the install command. Once I realized this I just changed the name in the command and it went right in.
Also for some reason I couldn't select the text in the adb box on the web page so I had to enter the commands by hand. No big deal but I would have felt more secure if the commands were in simple text so I could have copy/paste them in.
Like I said though everything worked and I have the market installed now. Thanks for the hard work!

I'm having some trouble with mine...I am trying to follow the video instructions to the link but it shows downloading a .android folder and extracting it to my user name on desktop but there is no such link. I have downloaded SDK and installed google usb drivers as well. I have 6.2.1 firmware and downloaded kindleroot_androidpolice.apk and placed on my kindle and I also downloaded superuser-2. I am not able to install the driver to the fire either. I go to my computer, manage, device manager, kindle, update driver software, browse my computer, etc. I have no INF file to choose under my .android folder.
Any help would be appreciated

My sd card is showing up as unmounted and not sure how to remount it. I sent adb remount and it didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

You should get the same files from the android Sdi. Good luck.

Yes thank you. Moving it to the same as the run.bat seemed to have worked as it shows online now when running the Kindle Fire Utility. I switched it to fast boot but now seems to have been frozen at the kindle fire logo for quite some time now. I heard you have to switch to fastbook to install TWRP first before rooting?
I am not sure if I should attempt to somehow reboot this as it seems to be stuck at the boot up screen

wrong - switch back to normal boot and use the utility

Kindle Fire 6.3 root

Warning
Below be dragons, please gather armor and basic computing knowledge before preceding </ubergeek>. Working adb AND fastboot are requires, support for adb and fastboot are NOT offered by me. If you question is related to OSX or Linux I may be able to help. If it is windows related, don't get pissed when I tell you "I have no idea", it is the truth.
This is at your own risk! Do not blame me if something goes wrong!
For 6.2, 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 please see BurritoRoot3 -> http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13027-rootbootloader-burritoroot3-kindle-fire-root-easy-root-edition/
While I have another root exploit, Amazon neglected pokey's far more beautiful one this update, and we have no good reason to blow another root for this update, so isntead here is a guide using fbmode.
Full credits for this goes to pokey9000 (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414832). This guide requires you to have adb and fastboot working FOR THE KINDLE FIRE, on whatever os you are on.
Required files:
fbmode.zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414832
twrp2 - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/79
su - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/kindlefire/su
firefirefirefire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369405
fastboot + adb for your OS of choice.
unzip fbmode.zip
adb push fbmode /data/local/fbmode
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/fbmode
adb shell /data/local/fbmode
adb reboot
Your kindle will "get stuck" on the kindle fire screen, but really it's just in fastboot mode.
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader <name of firefirefire image here>
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery <name of recovery image here>
Your device will now boot into twrp recovery, and flash the firefirefire bootlaoder. When done it will prompt you to reboot. Upon reboot you will get stuck on the "yellow triangle" screen of firefire fire.
fastboot oem idme bootmode 5002
fastboot reboot
Once in recovery
adb shell mount system
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
Lets disable the root check before rebooting
adb shell mv /system/bin/check_rooted /system/bin/check_rooted.bak
adb shell idme bootmode 4000
adb reboot
Once booted into Android, install superuser
adb install Superuser.apk

So this is strictly to add root for someone who is running stock 6.3, correct?
Thanks for the write up.

Once again! You rule.

Your fast! I was gonna suggest pokeys bootmodes before tossing an exploit but u went straight for it lol. Great work jcase

I flashed back to stock and updated. My "secondary" exploit still exists, but after getting root I decided to check and see if fbmode would still work, and it does.
So we should be good for the next one as well.

Quick question you wonderful people,
Does this work with kinfauns 1.3 firefirefire?
It's basically just pokey9000's with some quirks and a different boot menu but figured I would ask the "big guys" first before I turn into one of those "I bricked my fire" folks. Cheers.

Wow, it didn't take them long to implement a root check at all. I guess more people are rooting their devices than had previously expected. They're selling them at a loss in the hopes that they will make it up in app store and prime sales. Woops. Oh well, I'm just glad I switched rooms when I did. It won't be long before they make them either unrootable (less likely) or stop selling them altogether (more likely).

no, every update has "broke" root. amazon does this so that their updates wont brick rooted devices. they haven't done anything to prevent people from rooting.

Worked fine, maybe I misread it or maybe you left out sticking superuser.apk in the adb/fastboot folder? Anywhoo I got root on 6.3 with this method, thanks

No, I assume people setup their paths correctly during adb installation, negating the need for that.

Actually, this is the first time they have implemented something like this, its a separate service that checks for root, they run it at boot.

[Q] System software version 6.3_user_4019920 root possible?

Hi all,
I have a kindle fire with system version 6.3_user_4019920.
I used Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.5, installed TWRP, FFF and Permanent Root with Superuser (option 2).
I did NOT installed Google Apps/Go Luncher EX though!
Everything went just fine with no errors at all.
I installed ProxyDroid 2.6.2 and that tells me that I am not root. I checked also to see if the device is rooted installing Root Checker app and that tells me also: "Sorry, you don't have root access"
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,

I have this problem too, KFU doesn't seem to copy su binary to /system/xbin, so just do it your self from adb (su binary located in the "files" folder inside KFU), then set permission to it as 06755, finally open install Superuser.apk.
Reboot into recovery mode
adb shell mount system
adb push ..\files\su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb install ..\files\Superuser.apk

I did all steps, but at the last command (adb install ..\files\Superuser.apk) I got the following error:

That only changes the bootmode. You need to actually tell it to reboot.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Maybe you want to read the first few posts of this link...

Hold the power button until it shuts off. Then restart.

First what is the charge level on your battery that can happen from your battery being flat also maybe try powering it off by holding the power button for 20 seconds till it does completely power down some say to reinstall your drivers but I can't imagine why how and where they could have changed considering how far you have gotten

It worked and I was able to finishe the rooting also.
Thanks for all guys who replied, wasted their time and helped me out!
I needed all this because of a Europe trip and I run a Squid proxy here in US that I want to use it for netflix. Hopefully ProxyDruid will help me out.
Best,

I'm having a similar problem. I used KFU 0.9.6 and installed permanent root and twrp. I've even flashed the latest jandycane ROM. It's super stable and have had no problems except that I can't run apps that require root. The root checker says I don't have root. I tried running the above adm commands but with no luck. Any help is appreciated.

Apparently your su binary is corrupt. Use adb shell to remove it and then adb push a new version to your /system/xbin folder. Afterwards (adb shell) chown and chmod to give it the proper ownership/permissions and try again.
I'm assuming you already know how to do this.
---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------
Upon further inspection, it seems as though you installed the wrong su binary. There are two available; x86 and ARM. You need ARM.

Thanks for the help. I pushed a new su file. Now it says permission denied. What should the permissions be set to? I tried 06755 as above but no luck.

Need help getting Fire Fire Fire and TWRP and Cyanogenmod on Kindle Fire 6.3.3

I've been trying on Windows, and followed the instructions, but when the Kindle rebooted, I didn't see any recovery menu. On Ubuntu now, and I installed Soupkit, adb, and fastboot. But I don't know what to do with these in Linux. I tried one guide, and it tried to load u-boot.bin, which wasn't included in the Soupkit install, and it turns out that Soupkit installed files in the wrong directory, so I tried making the directory path, and copying the files over there, and downloaded the u-boot.bin file I just ended up noticing and putting it in both directories, and it still wouldn't work.
Also, am I supposed to install Fire Fire Fire before TWRP?

Know how I go about getting fff installed? I tried looking up "Install Fire Fire Fire Kindle 6.3.3" and other similar searches, all I got was how to unbrick with twrp and stuff like that.
Edit: nvm, didn't notice the link. I tried Soupkitchen without the Kindle plugged in. Am I supposed to run it with it plugged in? I tried to run Soupkitchen again, but it's not letting me now.

I rooted it with Saferoot. Ran a root check app to make sure, and it said it's rooted. I tried following the instructions on the page you linked but it ends up pointing to Soupkit and it says no such file or directory when I try the push command.
I have adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and u-boot.bin in the Soupkit directory. I used the official Soupkit download, through terminal.

Kindle must be in fastboot mode to use SoupKit.
If windows command prompt says " it says no such file or directory when I try the push command."
adb/fastboot files are not in same older as command prompt is pointing to.

I have the exe files in the Soupkit folder. Is there anything I'm missing that I need to get fbmode to work? I'll go look around for a pack.

yes, SoupKit can not put the Kindle Fire with system version 6.3.3 in fastboot mode, you need to manually push the files with adb

I have the fbmode file. I always get stuck at the push command. I know I have the files that are needed, and I have two Soupkit folders just in case. One in jason/bin and the other in bin. I even tried copying the files in the files folder directly into the Soupkit folder, still no joy. I have adb.exe, fastboot.exe, fbmode.exe, and u-boot.bin and haven't messed around with any other folders I think. This is a sample of my terminal text.
[email protected]:~$ adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp
bash: /home/jason/bin/SoupKit/files/adb: No such file or directory

According to http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378
enter and run this command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
And you're all set up! You can send commands to your device from any terminal window.

It says nothing was upgraded, and I already have the newest version. And when I try the push command, I still get the same error. Tried skipping ahead to adb shell and still getting a no such file or directory error. I downloaded the files that were linked in the guide, and I'm pretty sure I'm missing certain files, but I forgot what those were. I borked my bootloader when trying to use EasyBCD to replace Android x86 with Ubuntu. Ended up plugging in my spare drive and grabbing Ubuntu off of that, and loading it from my USB, so I have an OS again, but the files I had were lost, so I've been having to hunt down missing files.
Edit: I have Superuser on my Kindle. I wonder if there's anything I can do from there to make things easier.

[Q] Rooted KF 6.3.4 using Root Master, Now what?

I am definitely a noob. I searched all over to find ways to root. Most methods involved using the Kindle Fire Utility, but user comments and the lack of responses they got scared me off. I tried using Key Root Master (MOD version), it worked, and I indeed do have root. This is verified with Root Checker Basic, and I was able to get and use Google Play store on my KF. The problem is, for some of the apps I want, IE: Greenify, I need a different version of Android. It appears that in order to get a custom ROM on it, I need to have TWRP, but everything I read says that in order to get that, I need to root using Kindle Fire Utility, and I need FireFireFire. This is where I am lost. I am not sure what to do now. Can I use a different root method now that I am already rooted? This is all very confusing, but I am trying to learn.

Okay, thank you for your response. I just want to be clear though. I clicked on your link, and now since my KF is rooted, I can just go ahead and begin by downloading fbmode and the steps thereafter? No need to root again using saferoot?

The tutorial is straightforward, and very well done. I thank you. Unfortunately, when I entered adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp into command prompt, it said Daemon not running starting it now...then Daemon started successfully...then...error: device not found. I looked in device manager and Kindle Fire is listed as Amazon Kindle USB Device under disk drives, as well as just Kindle under Other Devices with a yellow exclamation point next to it. It continues to tell me Device not found under command prompt. Can you tell me what is wrong?

Using Windows 7 Ultimate. No, I didn't use intall.drivers.bat from Kindle Fire Utility, because as I said, I rooted using another method. Can I install those drivers without the Utility?

I installed the drivers successfully, but now the kindle doesn't show up in device manager at all, and command prompt is still saying device not found. I reinstalled the drivers, and rebooted the pc as well as the kindle twice. I ejected the kindle, and it did say "android adb interface device" can now be disconnected. I reconnectred it...still no luck.

and permissions are correct
