Thank you sire. I'm willing to offer up my KF HDX 7" for testing if we can get root done on that. Anything that could help let me know.
Awesome, thanks man. Didn't want to shoot myself in the foot. This is an awesome piece of hardware.
Google Play Store required the Play Services app which probably needs to also be installed as a system app. Have you tried that.
The playstation store is a free app and on 1 mobile market. Was referring to a comment someone made further back saying they wish they had 1 click root to try out the playstation app.... or maybe I was just high, sorry :x
Great work all on rooting the kindle hdx!

This was stated earlier in the post: "I also have the Play Store working, which was just a matter of changing the ro.build.host to point to Google" I'm not sure where you find the ro.build.host file though and how to change it.
Based on the Nexus 7 (2013) build.prop change the line to this:
Code:
ro.build.host=vpbs6.mtv.corp.google.comAlso,to block the update servers might be best to add the IP addresses that kholdstare mentioned to the hosts file in /system/etc/hosts with root.
Code:
72.21.194.208
176.32.100.136
72.21.195.233

test please, same directions as are in the OP, jsut change the exploit filename to kindletest
Yeah rooted and removed ads from lockscreen trying to figure out what amazon apps I need to freeze so that I wont get over the air updates. I renamed and moved /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip.
Anyone know what apps I need to freeze? Started with Remote Device Management and Silk Browser.
Thanks again!!! jcase for making the HDX that much better with root access.
In the WIP thread for Google apps it was mentioned that an Apps 1.0 apk may be responsible for passing data to Amazon Appstore which may need to to stopped.

There is a topic on here that has the IP addresses that Amazon uses to update from. Add them to Droidwall or AdAway so your tablet never hears them. I believe it is in the 2013 KFHD 7" topic just made for rooting it.

Word of caution: do NOT attempt to factory reset you rooted kindle fire. Did it on mine yesterday, it won't boot and I can't get adb.
Yeah, same happened to me. Factory reset is the worst thing to do. Totally kills adb and bricks it. I called Amazon and getting a replacement for now.

Does that apply if nothing else than rooting happened on the device? Could it also happen if it catches an OTA update from Amazon?
Just in case, is/will there be a way to unroot?
That sucks man! sorry about your device, and thank you for sharing !
hopefully you can get a replace from amazon ?

Did they ask for stuff before issuing the replacement ? or was it easy to get them to send it to you ?

44Please do not donate to me for this, it is not my original work. If you want to donate, I suggest finding a way to donate to fi01 (not aware of a way or if he accepts them) or donating to a charity. It is the holiday times, maybe a toys for tots or something similar. I know a lot of ppl dislike the salvation army, and I can't stand up with some of the things they do, but their toy donation program is good and they do get the toys to kids who really have no other option, maybe drop off some new toys? May be food to a food bank?

Beaups compiled it at my request for you guys.
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb push rootme.sh /data/local/tmp/
adb push exploit /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/exploit
adb shell /data/local/tmp/exploit -c "/data/local/tmp/rootme.sh"9Bomb! You are the man!
Bro, I am going to PM you shortly. I would like to thank you & fi01. I will donate to both of you, or if you both prefer, I will donate my original pledge of $150 for root in your names to whatever charity you think is appropriate. If this leads to an unlocked BL, I will double my donation, to the $300 I originally stated in the General/Kernel thread.
If you notice my signature, I have an issue I have become intimately involved in, so if there is something near & dear to your two hearts, just let me know.
PROOF OF ROOT:

I am going to tak as many questions as possible, but will probably do something in the Q&A section to keep this clean. Right now, this is a manual adb exploit, though if you have a rooted device & USB OTG, you can use root transmission. Currently, it is fairly easy & straight forward, but you will need adb to utilize this root method. jcase said we could package it into a one click, but that is going to take some time.
At this point, there are no custome roms & there are no custom recoveries, just root access. I also have the Play Store working, which was just a matter of changing the ro.build.host to point to Google. Again, no easy way to do it yet. Since you are asking about "flashing" this, I would suggest you wait. Either that, or go back & read about some of the old root methods & how to use ADB. There is no flashing this file. You use ADB to push the files, & shell to change owner/permissions. You then run a script (again via adb) that moves the SU binary into xbin. Currently, there is still a bit of a trick to get SU going, but it is pretty easy if you understand the basics of ADB.
Really, what this means is that now the gates have been cracked & it is possible to start building recoveries, roms & all that good stuff.

Guess it does not work on 7" (fire os 3.1 updated, ver 13.3.1.0):
Device detected: KFTHWI (JDQ39)
Try to find address in memory...
Attempt msm_cameraconfig exploit...
Detected kernel physical address at 0x00008000 form iomem
Attempt fb_mem exploit...
Detected kernel physical address at 0x00008000 form iomem
You need to manage to get remap_pfn_range addresses.
Failed to get prepare_kernel_cred addresses.
Failed to get commit_creds addresses.
Failed to get ptmx_fops addresses.
KFTHWI (JDQ39) is not supported.
Failed to setup variables.
Have hopes it will be possible soon enough though
Most likely, it is going to take a little address rework of the exploit. I am about 100% certain the exploit is there though.8Good News Everyone! I made the required changes in source, and recompiled it for the Kindle Fire HDX 7". It worked for me at least! Here it goes:

Be sure to rename the file to 'exploit', follow the instructions on the first post, and don't forget to thank jcase and fi01.6Guess it does not work on 7" (fire os 3.1 updated, ver 13.3.1.0):

No but download the update.bin for your firmware from amazon, send me boot.img and system/build.prop and will port it
