Hey there! Didn't realize there was a Q&A thread til just now. Having some trouble following the steps. I did everything in the video save for using the kindle fire utility since you said in the post that google framework services had to be installed manually. So I tried to follow the manual steps, but when I tried to paste the three .apk files into /system/app it said I didn't have permission! There was also no option under "more" in ES explorer to change the permissions. Am I doing it wrong? Did I miss something? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Es explorer is no longer the quality it used to be, I would try root browser.

So.. I have a Kindle model # D01400 on v 6.3.4

It only has a power button, so can't use the button combo to get to fastboot. I have Android ADB Interface as the driver, and I'm on Windows 10.

I've tried all the suggested commands on the first 5 pages of this forum and from the How To, to try to get adb to work, including Saferoot and KFU. Nothing is getting it to boot into fastboot, or recovery.

Theres no Dev options, or switching USB modes in the settings.

Is it possible to get it working, and rooted??? Someone Please help if possible!!

    Help, I toasted my Kindle Fire!

    Ok, now that I got that out of the way, here's the details. I followed the steps from SDShadow's first post on how to root my Kindle Fire (6.3.3) and it worked great. Many thanks SDShadow! What followed was how I went off the reservation.

    My purpose in rooting was to change 'mock_locations' to 1 so that I can receive GPS position over wifi and use my Kindle screen for navigation. Being focused on my end goal, I did not take the time to install Google Apps or FFF or TWRP. My mistake. Another thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19688907&postcount=1) gave directions to do update 'mock_locations', but as with others on that thread, I ran into permission errors. Unable to figure out SQLite3, but able to find the 'settings.db' using ESFileExplorer, I managed to corrupt the file.

    Not knowing how to test the updated 'settings.db' in any way, I copied the corrupted version to my Kindle and rebooted. The Kindle never finished booting, and that's when I realized that I must have corrupted the file. But now I can't copy my backup file where it needs to go because my Kindle never finishes booting to give me access to ESFileExplorer on the Kindle. I still have adb access to the Kindle from my computer, but still get permission errors when I try to push a file.

    Is there a workaround to upload my backup settings.db file through adb, or do I need a factory cable? Does the workaround involve installing FFF and TWRP through adb while the Kindle is in its reboot loop? Either way, can someone provide detailed instructions for that?

    BTW, I figured out how to modify my settings.db using SQLite3 Browser on my PC. So I can actually upload my desired file, if I can figure out how. But if I could perform a check in some way, that would be good...

    best option is fastboot cable, but you can try some adb commands like
    Code: 
    adb devices
    you will need adb files
    power off kindle, run command, turn on kindle, also can try
    Code: 
    fastboot devices
    if you get one of them to work we have some options

    Thanks so much for the help. FFF and TWRP were both successfully installed by following the instructions exactly. I can now boot into recovery. Now what? Do I do a system restore, upload a new ROM? Can I push the backup settings.db by using the 'su' command?

    I would just install my prerooted 6.3.3.zip, wipe the caches, and kindle should be back to working, with very little changed.
    If you do a backup in twrp first, you can restore it if you lose something with my preroot.zip
