I never managed to finish a root using kindle utility I am unsure but believe it was my battery being low but it never would load back onto the program after the utility rebooted it. windows said it was unable to tell what kind of usb device the kindle was. I just need to know how to get the thing to be recognized on my computer. if i can get that far i can use an unbrick utility i found to fix it. Atm it doesnt load at all passed the orange and white kindle logo and im trying to charge my kindle but it is certainly acting odd, no way of telling if its charging or what. But i just need some general instructions or references to other links. maybe i mis installed the abd not sure. If anyone can get me going in the right direction I would be greatly thankful.
is it just one the orange and white logo? or does it like animate with a flash going from right to left? If it just sits there then you are probably in fastboot mode and can flash twrp through fastboot

Is abd the same as KFU? and if not where do i get it and if it is the same do i install the IDE or something else (i installed abd wrong the first time and removed it and havnt figured out the right way to do so)
KFU (kindle fire utility) is not the same as ADB. KFU is just a one-click tool used to root, and put a custom recovery on your kindle fire. So, do you have Kindle Fire Utility downloaded?

OOOOHH I have that but it always says that my device is offline
OK well what I would like you to do is, unplug your device, go to the folder where kfu is and find /tools and right click to try to open command prompt at that location. Then plug your device in and type fastboot devices.

Can you unplug your device and then the command, then plug it in immediately after you hit enter

A live usb will work and either distro will be fine. You have to either run the commands as the root user, or set up your udev rules, or use the SoupKit for it to work properly.
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've noticed for a couple days now the adb wont work on my kindle. I have the latest bootloader (v.2.05) i have tried the other otterx bootloader with no luck. :crying:. I've tried many twrps and mtp and adb still wont work. Im not sure what is happening and I've done everything @sd_shadow has either told me to do or was put in his posts all my partitions are correct everything is fine just adb wont work only fastboot will. If anyone else is haveing this issue please chime in also if you have a solution please, please put it out there. I've been searching these threads for days now with nothing turning up.

Well I had it wrong after I used emmc corruption is when I realized adb wasn't working it turned out fastboot worked fine also I was able to flash 2 Roms but in each one the WiFi was broken so I saw the fix and deleted all. Now I'm stuck with adb not working at all

I was able to get adb to work after several shut downs and restarts. I think it may be my computer. I did some searching and apperantly people had the same problem with adb not working but fast boot was they switched computers and all was fine
