I want to root my 8.9.
I have prepared everything to root it with the KFFirst Aide method. Before I want to start, my Kindle have updatet to 8.4.1.
Do the KFFFirstAide method work on 8.4.1?
I`have all the necessary data already downloaded and adb and fastboot works with option 16.
Can I start the root process without probelms with this method?
I want to install playsore and perhaps later twrp recovery.

I can't answer the question regarding the KFFirst Aide rooting utility but I can tell you that using the Bin4ry tool on 8.4.1 does work. I'm now looking for a method to install TWRP 2.4.4 in conjunction with 8.4.1. If you have any ideas let us know.

I also was OTA upgraded to 8.4.3. However, I did not lose root or the Google Play Store download/install capability. Bin4ry ver. 30 worked for me to root 8.4.1 and as I've stated, I did not lose root after being upgraded to 8.4.3.
Could someone please post the link to the thread on the latest Binary root method for Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Thanks

hi!
link to Binary
I strongly recommend soupkit, a Linux-live-system based installer. After installing it on a usb stick and booting from the stick you have everythink perfectly set up. I rooted with Soupkit in < 30 min!
Soupkit
For those rooting for the first time, I just rooted my KF HD 8.9 with the Root Many method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
The Qemu root method did not work for me. I did make sure to install and test the ADB drivers first. I rooted both 8.4.3 and 8.4.1. I was OTA updated right after rooting 8.4.1 I intend to prevent any more OTA updates with Droidwall.
I tried doing the SoupKit method but I'm having trouble with the ADB. Rootplus couldn't detect any ADB in the folder even though it's there. As for the Binary method, I tried doing it for several hours yesterday but I can't get it to work. What should be the first steps before I use the Binary root program? Sorry, but I'm really such a noob at this. My Kindle btw is 8.9 version 8.4.3

the binaries provided by soupkit are for 32 Bit. Maybe you used a 64 Bit Linux installation? (Tried 64 Bit at first and it did not work, with 32 Bit it worked like a charm)
Finally got my Kindle rooted. I used the Soupkit method using Ubuntu 32 bit. Thanks everyone.
Hi, i did a factory reset and now i´m stuck. I can´t use the browser, the store or download any app. I can´t root the kindle because i don´t have the es file explorer.
What can i do? Maybe a donwgrade? Thanks

I'm trying to understand where you are at. Were you rooted or custom ROM? Then performed a factory reset from within the tablet? In order to use any file explorer on a Kindle Fire HD, you must be rooted or register your Kindle with Amazon and download it from the Amazon app store. You can use root many Android to root and install Google Play Store and go from there if you don't want to register with Amazon.

The kindle is rooted but i did a factory reset. Now the silk browser and the store doesn´t work. I can´t download the es file explorer so i can´t install any app, and i can´t download any app because the silk crashes.

Oh, you broke your root. You have to un-root it back to factory and then you can use the factory reset from within the tablet itself. That's the problem. See if you can re-root the tablet with root many Android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 then use Kindle Fire first Aide to disable over the air updates from Kindle http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 so your root does not break or you will have to re-root again when amazon updates the firmware.

You can update all you want but once rooted you don't want any updates to come through or your root will break.

Did you download SDK and set the files in the proper path? Post the path if you want to make sure.

if Yes, maybe anyone could explain to med how that is done ?

You need to downgrade first, install ClockworkMod Custom Recovery and only then you can upgrade
Thanks for your answer - after i have downgraded - how can i then use ADB fire to install the Clockwordmode and then upgrade ?
No way. Follow the guides here: http://www.aftvnews.com/tag/guide/

I have a Fire HD10". It is rooted and runs fine. I need to get TWRP installed on it, is there a way to do this without using Linux ? What is the best way to install TWRP on the Fire10" ?
Thank you
