Hi,
I am a total noob. I don't even know the proper expressions for this whole thing.
So this is my case:
I am outside the US and bought the Kindle Fire with a 6.3 firmware, couple of days ago.
Being curious about what it all can do, created a fake account with a test credit card as I read somewhere in the net.
Then downloaded the KFU 0.9.5 and rooted the device, everything went according to the plan, so I thought.
Then I discovered I had to use something called Market Opener to install other apps. But this Market Opener never worked.
So I found out that I had to change permissions. But this cannot happen as I get that message that adb services can not run in production builds etc. whatever that may mean.
So I downloaded Android SDK, followed the instructions installed it but I still cannot get into the root and change folder permissions. Sometimes it recognizes the device, sometimes not and when it does it tells me the same thing as above.
Then I would need some .apk to do the thing on the device but I cannot install those as I don't have the Market Opener or the Google Play and I cannot get those if I don't have superuser permissions to change things in Folders.
Basically I have been spending the last 3 days in searching the net for answers but to no avail.
So, can someone help me please? What I need to do is being able to install some apps including Market Opener / Google Play and being able to watch Amazon VOD. Is this possible?
Please bear in mind that I have no clue of the specific language, i.e. I don't know what flash is and how to do it nor I know how to do a backup and restore or how to reset everything in the original state.
SO if some of you have the patience to help, please advice me with some noob language so that I can understand.
Thanks in advance for the help that will come
Are you looking to put a custom rom on it or just root? If you're looking to keep Amazon services, you can put MoDaCo's rom on it, which is just like your kindle out of the box with a few extra bells and whistles. There are alot of guides floating around on how to get ADB working. There's an excellent beginners guide in the General section that I highly advise checking out.
Noob terms: if you want to keep the Amazon experience, I reccomend MoDaCo. Look for it in the development fourms.

Thanks for ur answer.
I have read a lot of guides out there but I seem not to be able to get the ADB working as I always get the message I gave in the original post plus the fact that sometimes it recognizes the device and sometimes not.
I have read the beginners guide which was excellent but without the ADB working there is little I can do I suppose.
As I wrote, I want to play with the device to see what it is able to do and want to use the Amazon VOD if possible. I.e. I would like to be able to use Google Play to get apps on will and still keep the Amazon services. Would that be possible with the MoDaCo staff?
Ok. I downloaded the MoDaCo staff.
Must I reset the kindle to the factory settings before I install that? If yes, how?
And how do I flash it?
Make sure you are in fact rooted.
You seem like you know enough about adb to try the following commands.
adb shell
ls /system/xbin
Look for a file called "su" in the list
Then...
ls /system/app
Look for a file called "Superuser.apk"
A lack of either of these means you're not rooted and may be the source of your problems
If you are trying to change system file permissions through adb...
adb root
adb remount
adb shell chmod blah /blah/blah/yadayada
Just don't literally type "blah /blah/blah/yadayada"

a factory reset won't really help you because you're basically replacing the operating system. pretty sure all amazon services are working with modaco. to install it, look around for a guide on how to install something called firefirefire (FFF) and TWRP. pretty sure that can all be done with kfu in a couple clicks. then copy the modaco zip onto your kindle, go into the wipe menu and clear out system, cache, dalvik cache, and data (factory reset), then go into install and choose the modaco zip. reboot and you should be set.

Thank you for your answer.
I would gladly follow your advice but the adb does not find my device. I don't know whether this is normal and if I must reboot my PC.
The kfu also gives me an offline status...

Thanks again for the fast answer. I am impressed!
Doesn't the FFF and the TWRP get installed automatically with the kfu?
its most likely your computer. a reboot might help. if not, how did you install the drivers? are you using a mac or pc? try installing the drivers that came bundled with KFU.
if you're using a PC, go into device manager and see if something about android ADB pops up. if not, it's your drivers.

haha, no problem .
if FFF was installed, you should see a picture of fire in a caution sign or an android logo over the kindle fire logo when you boot it up. if all you see is kindle fire, then you don't have fff. im pretty sure you need fff to get into twrp. if fff is installed, you should be able to hop into fastboot and install twrp if it's not installed yet.

I am using a PC ( a netbook, don't laugh, I'm on vacation!!)
I installed the drivers using the install_bat from the kfu.
In device manager I see Android Phone and underneath Android Composite ADB Interface...
interesting. check my previous post and see if you have FFF installed. adb should be working fine if device manager can find it. if you can, run adb devices into cmd and see if it picks up your kindle. not sure if the stock rom has a development switch in the settings.. if there's an option to enable usb debugging, make sure that is on. if not, just try moving usb ports and running adb devices.
If adb has trouble recognizing your device, it means it's a driver issue. Either Windows, KFU or a combination of the two causes the drivers to fail for some reason.
Uninstall/delete your current drivers in device manager (may require reboot)
Turn your Kindle off
Reinstall drivers
Turn your Kindle on
Retry adb commands

I have FFF as I see the fire in a caution sign (yellow triangle thing right?)
ADB still doesn't pick my kindle after a PC restart.
No usb debugging available in the stock rom.
I will uninstall and reinstall the drivers from device manager.
Thanks again for your prompt help. I am oblidged!

that's fantastic... if you have FFF, try pressing the power button a couple times as it turns on and see if you can get into recovery. you shouldn't need adb now. if you can get into recovery, just wipe and flash the new rom. if you don't, you can use fastboot to install it.

Ok...I reinstalled the drivers
now ADB gets the kindle
I do adb shell
then ls / system /xbin
no such file or directrory
the same goes with the
ls / system / app
But if I give su I get
su

Now what?
And in which directory should I transfer the MoDaCo Rom?

if you want to use adb, should be ls /system/xbin. make sure you put the space after the ls. i would still recommend flashing modaco nevertheless... that shouldn't need adb. just maybe fastboot if your recovery isnt installed.

So I rooted my kindle fire 8.9 and installed a 2nd bootloader along with team win recovery the root went fine but as soon as I installed the 2nd bootloader the kindle dose not go past silver kindle fire page I can load custom recovery but nothing else
Someone please help me with this
So it won't boot into the os, but will go into recovery. That a been happening with the latest update apparently, if it detects twrp or the modded boot loader it throws a fit and won't boot, you need to push a rom to flash to twrp and either downgrade the os, or flash a custom ROM. To do this you need to know how to use command prompt and adb, so if you know that much you would run something like this: adb push filetoflash.zip /sdcard/filetoflash.zip
From there its a simple matter of installing the file from inside twrp. If you need more details just reply back.

Eh idk if there's a tutorial for this exactly but there are plenty of threads with this problem and something similar where they accidentally wiped the internal storage and had to do same thing that you are having to do basically. I can point you in the right direction, just tell me what ROM you want on it, and I'll do my best to give you some instructions to get it onto the device.

cm 10.1 i guess just want to get this fixed so all help is appreciated don't want to have to throw the kindle away
OK sorry for the long wait, my friend bought me a copy of reach today since it was the only halo game I hadn't played so I put off writing a small tutorial until I was done.
First you need a working copy of adb, and your drivers working with twrp, so if you don't have a copy of adb handy, download my wallpaper fix and extract it so that there's a folder on the c drive called"stunts wallpaper fix", if you have adb somewhere else, just adjust how I say to do that to using the other path. So after u have extracted my fix to c:\, you should open the folder and see adb.exe in there, now download these 2 files into that folder:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/cm10.1/cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip
Now boot the kindle into twrp and plug it i to your pc and open a command prompt, I usually do it from a run box but searching the start menu for it works also. Once its open type "CD c:\stunts wallpaper fix" and press enter, now type "adb.exe devices" and make sure your device is listed' if it isn't open the device manager and check for a device with a triangle, if there is use the driver link in my signature to update the drivers to that and it should work. Anyways if your drivers are going well and it lists itself under devices, type this into command prompt "adb.exe push cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip /sdcard/", then when it's done type "adb.exe push gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip /sdcard/". If all goes well the files should be on the device, if you are coming from stock amazon I would tell twrp to backup only the data partition, since your system partition is kinda useless at this point, and once u have a backup you need to do a factory reset under wipe I believe, I don't remember for sure so I'll say do this even though the factory reset probably covers most of this, do a advanced wipe as well, only check cache, dalvik cache, and system. Now tell it to wipe. Once that is done hit install on the home screen and choose the cm 10.1 file on the sdcard first, and swipe to install it, then once done go to install again and choose the gapps and install it too, now reboot into the system. Tada!
If this is confusing or you need help with something else just post back, I know I didn't exactly organize this post very well but I kinda did it from my kindle so it wasn't easy to format it.

Ok how do you use the driver link from your signature, I'm using windows 8 and can't get any drivers to install. I sold my kindle and now it's stuck on the blue kindle fire logo. I stupidly wiped everything including system in twrp .
Windows 8 is a bit more tricky because you have to boot the os up with driver signature enforcement disabled, look it up on Google, once you do that you go into the device manager a d find the device with an exclamation and hit update driver, then browse to the folder where you extracted the files from the zip in my signature,

Thanks .. I'll give it a go tonight
Just got a "factory refurbished" Kindle Fire 8.9 HD for a STEAL (Amazon gave $50 back on the refurb).
Anyway, now that I have it and have been playing with it for a few weeks, I've realized that the current root methods (including Root Many Android) say they have rooted it, but I don't quite have all the SU access. Digging deeper, I've found that I have System Version 8.4.9.
I can get a partial root, but cannot mount the system to RW
Anyone out there working on the Root of Kindle Fire 8.4.9?
I would just downgrade it and flash a custom rom.

Stunts,
I'd love to do that, but one of the issues with the current root is I can't use KFFirstAide to do much of anything. I would like to keep the KF as close to stock as I can, as I have kids and the FreeTime app is nice. I'm mostly looking to get the Google Play store up and working.
I've done a search but don't see anything on how to downgrade the KF from 8.4.9 without having root.
What am I missing?
You don't need root. When you initially power the device on it should briefly be detected as a jem device. Download then drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere. Now open the device manager and plug the kindle in while off, when you see the jem device, right click it and hit update drivers, and tell it to look where you extracted mine. If this is windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first. If you can manage to get this step completed the rest is simple, it basically involves this: grab a utility like kindle fire first aid and shift + right click it and hit new command window here. With the kindle off and unplugged type
Code:
fastboot -I 0x1949 getvar product
once it says waiting for device plug the kindle in while it is off, it should enter fastboot, from there you can use kffa to downgrade it.

Would You Like To Wipe Data And Cache (y/n) ?
After this, I wipe data and cache and then didn't finish the registration (so I didn't get "pushed" an update, just in case)
Come back up and I'm still in 8.4.9
I've gone in to dropbox and pulled all the images to my computer. Is there a way to move these and get them properly mounted in adb? I'm a relative n00b but getting a bit more comfy in the adb environment and may be able to do it from there, with a bit of help?
Thanks!
Do not actually use KFFA use this method --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468988
You only need kffa for adb.exe and fastboot.exe ect.
PS. Be sure NOT to to connect to the Internet after until you have OTA blocked, and if you Like you can manually upgrade to what ever firmware you would like, I went back to v848

Now I'm stuck in the Kindle Fire boot screen - orange. I got through all the flashes without an issue and unplugged on the final reboot per your instructions. I try to adb to it and there are no devices found.
Edit: Whoops. Was using my old shortcut command keys (arrows) and just changed what flashed to system - forgot to flash to the right places. Trying again!

Edit: Whoops. Was using my old shortcut command keys (arrows) and just changed what flashed to system - forgot to flash to the right places. Trying again!

Is your Kindle up and running? I also have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and yesterday I downloaded latest update.bin file (8.4.9) from Amazon and updated my Kindle and later rooted it using the manual method described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117 thread. It was total success. Just don't miss a single step from that method.
Actually I had my Kindle (ver 8.4.8) rooted before and Google Play installed with the same method but I was having some issues (not because of rooting but because I had been tinkering with the system apps) so decided to update to overcome those glitches. I installed RootKeeper from Google Play and told it to protect my root access during update process but this crap could not. After update I lost my root and now Google Play Store and related services stopped working, as I didn't have root access so couldn't manage to delete their apks from System apps. So I decided to root it again with the same method and I did it, after rooting it again I went to system apps and deleted old apks of Google Play and other related apks. Then I agin installed Google Play using the automatic method mentioned in above thread.
Sorry if this story is irrelevant but I just wanted to share my experience so any one searching for something could find a clue from it. One thing is confirmed here, KFFirstAid can easily install Google Play after 8.4.9 update and the above mentioned manual method can root it successfully. I am not sure about automatic method though.
you have been very usefull! Thx...but, i still can't root with any method
Can i ask you for some help (i've actually the 8.4.9 version) in private?

Already tried this. It works partially only once it is fully done rebooting the kindle fire is running so slowly as to be unworkable for any thing. Also the lock swipe etc looks torn inhalf. At this point i have to use recorvery to get it to respond properly. I need to root or change rom out right (preferably) But the fast boot commands do nothing. Tried getting it to show up as gem device and use the other drivers that are suppose to let me enter fast boot by a fastboot command. It does not seem to work.
So after trying the method in post 9 again i need to recover to factory again. As it is running extremely slow

Stunts what is the best surefire way to downgrade? My previously rooted kindlefire hd 8.9 just got ota updated to 8.4.9. I had disabled ota i thought but it would seem it wasnt. Now i can not reroot it properly. I want to just go with a custom rom and be done with this mess. I do not have a fastboot cable. But it would seem there are ways around that such as the fastboot -i etc etc how ever i tried that and it did not work (including getting the drivers to the jem. I think i may be missing the chance to get the update drivers bit done intime (not sure here). At any rate help!!! heh
Again what i want to do
Downgrade to easiest rom ver to flash from to a custom rom using what ever meathod is the most effective minus fastboot cable. also recommendations on rom to use are very welcome.

This worked for getting root back, but didn't initially work for the Google apps. It looks like Amazon filled the file system /system leaving no room for the apps. Since I don't use Text To Speech, I removed /system/tts/ivona/vox_en_us_salli22i which is 100+MB, freeing plenty of space for Google apps. I saved a copy to /sdcard just in case. I recommend saving a copy of system.img first, since my first attempts at removing files deleted the apk, but didn't free the space and I had to do a restore once.
Full Manual Root - Kindle Fire HD 8.9 System Version 8.4.9 on Ubuntu Linux 14.04
Hi Guys,
If none of the usual methods work, here is a method for rooting Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with the new 8.4.9 system version. It was written for and tested on Linux, but should work on Windows as well.
Requires Linux and "DOS" scripting knowledge - particularly if anything goes wrong. If you are not familiar with linux shell, please do not try!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
I was struggling a whole day with rooting my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with the 8.4.9 stock rom. I use Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) and don't really have access to Windows. I've tried several methods, including several versions of the Bin4ry method, but the result was:
a) nothing happened at the end,
b) the system was hell slow, but did not get the root prompt/access.
Finally I've managed to root with a full manual - no script running - method. It was based on Bin4ry v18.5.1 root: the tools were uploaded to the kindle from the package, and the rooting steps were based on the RunMe.bat (manually entering step-by-step). It requires an installed adb on the linux machine (I have it from an Android SDK install)!
Sources:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105 : I've started from here. I recommend to read this before starting the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117 : "C-2) The next steps are used to Root the Kindle - Alternative Method (Manual Version)"
http://pocketnow.com/2012/10/10/root-without-unlocking : for understanding the exploit
Requirements:
1. Install adb on the linux machine.
2. Download Root MANY ANDROID 32-bit!(Dropbox): https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Win32.zip and extract.
Rooting:
The steps are based on manually entering the commands of the "1)Normal" method of the RunMe.bat:
1) In a terminal change to the directory where Win32.zip was extracted and enter:
Code:
adb push stuff/busybox /data/local/tmp/.
adb push stuff/su /data/local/tmp/.
adb push stuff/Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/.
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
2) Restore the fake “backup”. Note: _do not click restore on your Kindle device_! Just enter the command into the command prompt on your PC and press the enter key:
Code:
adb restore fakebackup.ab
3) Run the “exploit”:
Code:
adb shell “while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done”
(It will display a lot of "link failed File exists" lines)
4) Now that the “exploit” is running, click restore on your device.
5) Once it finishes, reboot your device. Note: Don’t use your kindle yet, this exploit reboots into emulator mode which will be laggy with a flickering screen (or no display at all). This is normal.
Code:
adb reboot
6) Once rebooted, open a shell:
Code:
adb shell
Check: Once you do step 6, your should have a root shell (your prompt should be #, not $). If it’s not #, start again from step 2.
7) Continue with the steps of the RunMe.bat - now entering the commands in the root shell:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
/data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su
/data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 655 /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
rm /data/local.prop
reboot
Done .
The Method described above didn't work for me.
Tried to do it step by step but the exploit part is not working, gives me a syntax error.
Then i used runme.bat and the exploit seems to work (slow reboot, scrambled kindle logo) but root isn't working properly afterwards.
It's kinda half-rooted now, with SuperSU working and displaying "granted root access..."-messages but if i try to install the play store i'm stuck.
ESexplorer is in root mode, mounted system R/W but when i try to move vending.apk to system/app it fails. No root access it seems
Opening SuperSU results in a failed update process....
Any kind of help is deeply appreciated...

This method worked for me! I also got a syntax error the first time arround but I fixed it by splitting this command (adb shell "while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done") into 2 separate command 1) adb shell, 2) while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done
After taking away the quotes it worked exactly as described!
While trying to get Android Pay to work I removed root from my phone using the option in Kingroot's menu and then restarted. Now FireOS doesn't load and doing a factory restart from recovery doesn't do anything either.
I thought I'd just sideload 4.6.3 and restart from scratch, but when I connect my phone in 'sideload from adb' mode from recovery I only get a "Fire" device in device manager. After a minute it gets an error "Device Cannot Start"
Manaully scanning for hardware changes doesn't give me my "Android Composite Device ADB Interface"
Sounds like you don't have the ADB drivers installed correctly. See this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62844581&postcount=14
Thank You. That's exactly what was wrong.
I didn't think was would be the problem since I had used that 15 second adb installer last night to get adb working before I messed everything up this morning.
In recovery mode I'm sure it connected to my computer as a different device!
Thanks again.

The problem could be the filename. Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer download the 4.6.3 update as a .zip file. If your folder options are not set to display all files extensions, go to Veiw> Options> Change folder and search options> View>. Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" and click OK. Check the filename for update.bin, if the filename is update.bin.zip, changing it to update.bin should correct your problem.
If the fielname is correct, the file path could be the problem. Try entering the complete path to the file, use quotes around the file path if there are any spaces in the file path (for me the file path is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\update.bin").
If you still can't install the update, then see Problem with "cannot read update.bin" in 4.6.4 to 4.6.3 downgrade on how to use Safestrap to install update 4.6.3.
Hi
Even my phone is bricked but when I try to sideload update.bin , cmd prompt throwing error as " cannot update.bin". My fire phone is identified by windows 10 with adb drivers.
Can someone suggest how can we fix this issue?
Thanks

Thanks, I will try what you had suggested on windows 10 but I can not use safestrap as except " amzon" logo I can not see anything after power on so I am getting to apply update from ADB using buttons. So how can I install safestrap and king root without turning on browser on mobile.
Thanks

You won't be able to install Safestrap or Kingroot unless you can bootup your Fire Phone, so sideloading the update is your only option. It appears that your ADB drivers are installed correctly, just to be sure, see DePingus's post.
Thanks, it worked. My fire phone is up.
Hi a little help if you will please.
I've rooted then installed safestrap. Done back up, factory reset then Flashed c11 rom. All looked great. Made up with the ROM but I've tried to use kingroot to root again but it won't work. I can get in to safestrap recovery but says it's inactive. I've tried to search for the fix but can't find anything directly for my problem just how to root with kingroot. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Can't unbrick it.... tried everything
Hi guys, I installed CyanogenMod on my fire phone and it worked for a while... then started rebooting, but before I could do anything it was just rebooting all the time, then I did a hard reset on fire phone and after that... only adb sideload, safestrap was gone... but... adb works fine, everything gets installed, but after rebooting amazon fire phone is lost in a endless rebooting cycle (just shows up the amaozn logo... if powered via USB it tries to do something else, amazon logo shows up for maybe 2-3s longer....
Boys... did I brick my phone forever? Thanks

If you are like me you are constantly fiddling and hacking with your phone. I’m also cheap so when I came across an Amazon Fire Phone from my local AT&T store for $150 I had to jump. After all I’m an Amazon Prime customer, so with the year of Prime it made the phone about $50. Anyways, I have been lurking on the Fire Phone XDA forum for a bit and have been using GGOW’s CM11 build since it came out. Every now and then, however, I want to go back to stock. After figuring it all out, I’ve kind of gotten it down to a pretty quick process and thought I would right a quick post on how to take your Fire Phone back to stock.
Ok so first off you have to prep your computer. You will need several things. First off you will need the Android Debug Bridge installed on your computer, also known as ADB. Instead of downloading the entire Android SDK to get ADB, you can follow the instructions on Lifehacker to install ADB pretty quickly. You will also need the OS files for your Fire Phone. You can download them from Amazon. For right now you need to make sure you download the correct file for whether your phone is unlocked or not. I believe the 4.6.6 update unifies the two, but for now it’s better to be safe.
Once you have installed ADB and have the .BIN file from Amazon, it is time to work. You need to make sure your phone is turned off and plugged in to your computer via USB. You will need to turn your phone on by holding down the power button and the volume up button and continue to hold them until you see the “Fire System Recovery” menu. You should see several options, you will need to select the “apply update from ADB” selection. Now with your phone plugged into your computer you need to go to a terminal/command prompt window. You will type
Code:
add sideload <filename>
where you replace <filename> with the path to your .BIN file. For instance on my computer (which runs OSX) I would type:
Code:
adb sideload ~/Downloads/update-kindle-32.4.6.5_user_465000520.bin
Now your update will begin and once it is done all you have to do is restart the phone.

If you mean you are stuck in Safestrap recovery, then follow @ggow post to flash Fire OS. The links you will need for the flashable images are here and here.
If you are not stuck in Safestrap recovery and your phone is still under warranty, you may want to contact Amazon for a replacement phone.
