Hello all.I have a question about my Kindle Fire HD 7" 2012 Model.Recently,I installed a stock ROM(unofficial) and now its running Android Marshmallow; however,I want root access.In settings,it tells me I have root access and I have the developer options tab,however whenever I try to use an app that needs root I'm told I really dont have root.So what I want to know is,even though my original device is a Kindle, will an android 6 root work on it or will it brick my device?If so,where can I find an android 6 root that doesnt need a computer?If not,how can I root my device?

So I've rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and now I'd like to know what I need to do next in order to get an Android ROM (probably CM10) running on it. I have searched all around but I can not for the life of me figure out how to get it working. I know I need to get TWRP installed so I can flash the rom but I do not know how to get TWRP installed. Any help would be great at this point!

I tried months ago to root my 8.9... with no success (Bin4ry's V 17). What method did you use to root and do you remember what firmware you had before you did it? I think I might be stuck because I have version: 8.1.4. Has anyone had success rooting the 8.9 with 8.1.4?

I have.. but I did experience a lot of frustration at first
May I ask how far you go in the process before it fails?
In my case the problem was getting my kindle to be recognized....turns out
I needed the right driver.
Sorry, replied to questions not directed at me.

How do you plan on using the Kindle? if you just want stock and want to connect to amazon, you can try updating software, if you want to use google apps, root or install a custom rom, you should try doing that first and not worry about registering.
Not having this device not sure but
It may have been rooted and stock was to reinstalled correctly, or just a software error
There is a software update 10.5.0 and should have installed automatically when connected to wifi (registered or not).
You can manually update, need a pc or mac
download update-kindle-10.5.0_D026_5060020.bin verify 579.74 MB (607900588 bytes) md5:6a2dd7841355a7ed513607591a3499ec
place on Kindle sdcard/storage see http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201177720

I have a kindle fire hd 8.9 first generation running 8.4.9 how can I safely and easily root it it's the 30 gig if that matters. I paid 400 so I really don't want to brick this thing I'm not really sure of the difference between the 1st gen and the 2nd gen but I know mine is the first gen because I bought it when it first came out and because the power and volume are on the side not the back

I also have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9.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 (MANUAL) method.
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.
If there is any confusion in following the steps you can ask.

Do you have the 1st gen or 2nd gen I think 1st gen had a different boot loader or something. I rooted my phone but I'm real paranoid about bricking this thing. I really can't afford a new one

I FINALLY am rooted. http://www11.pic-upload.de/20.06.14/76ibx7vqg6s9.jpg
I used some German guy's walkthrough here: http://www.dreamcodes.biz/text/?id=2152&s=read
The main problem was (as before): Not seeing the Kindle in adb devices. Don't ask what I did to finally get there after about 5 hours of trying every option under the sun and googling half the Inet. I installed way more drivers than recommended, especially google ones.
Install everything in c:\username\androidfilename; make sure the path is in system properties, constant testing (adb devices), making sure I have an adb_usb.ini with a 0x1949 in it, and the actual Amazon Kindle drivers are installed (I had to do that manually). Only when the Kindle was found I moved on to root and was successful first time. One happy camper here for sure.
Thanks Red for trying to help a blonde gal! Much appreciated!
So........... what am I going to do with my Kindle now?! :victory:

OK, the post you are talking about in German is post no 744 on page no 75, you need to go to page no 1 of that (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117&page=75) thread. Follow upto Root Step 9 (adding path variable) than use manual method to root. The main problem every one is likely to face is getting adb communication working so first assure that. Read a lot, clear every doubt. There may be some steps which can be confusing but I can help you in their clarification. I now have CM11 installed on my Kindle 8.9.
One thing for sure success DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL EVERYTHING DOES NOT WORK AS ACCEPTED IN THE METHOD.
In five days before Amazon bought the kindle fire 7 5gen mediatek version.
Of course, I had 5.1.1 Downgrade tried to downgrade to version 5.1.1 with routing slips through the "adb sideload".
Since then boot the recovery mode ... not getting anything to work.
Please tell me how you can recover.
I should've tried the link below.
The tightness.

A few years ago I had a kindle fire 1st gen, and I bricked it trying to root. I got a fastboot cable and my PC wouldn't detect it, so now I have a fancy paperweight. Anyways, today I have another kindle. It's also first gen. It's running 10.4.8, and I'm wondering if I can actually root it, without bricking it of course.

Yeah I realized that it's actually gen 2, but I still can't find a working root for it.
