[UTILITY]One Click Root Kindle Fire On Mac KindleWater all kindle OS versions!

KindleWater v3.0

KindleWater is now a part of BreakDroid all in one tool. I am also slowly backing off of Kindle development because of the Nexus 7

The new version is bundled as a part of BreakDroid (A multi device rooting app). Just download breakdroid from the download link below and you're good to go!



Downloads:

Download the newest version of BreakDroid from BreakDroid's website northmendo.com/breakdroid


Credits:
ST3P_2 (Me) writing the UI and some of the scripts, and slimming the SDK to the essentials
northmendo (co author) for writing the scripts and hosting the website
pokey9000 for fastboot
Team Win for TWRP recovery

Common fixes:
Try opening up terminal on your Mac and typing "adb devices" without the quotes. It should list a number like 29491656. If it doesn't the app isn't going to work.

Try opening terminal and typing "adb kill-server". Then try the adb devices trick above, it should now list a number.

Try restarting your Mac and kindle

Try rerunning KindleWater.

We aren't responsible if this bricks your kindle. There is a 1% chance it could although it's very unlikely. I am still willing to help if you have questions.

I'm devoting this post to instructions and extras now...

I ran the root successfully but how do I get the recovery installed correctly on mac? The website just says download it and rename it but there are no instructions on actually installing the recovery.....

Can you help with this?


Thanks

This root for me is useless because there are no instructions on how to install the recovery to flash a different rom all the website says it download this and rename it....no detailed instructions

To install the recovery after you're already rooted just follow the instructions for installing TWRP here.

If you were having trouble with the kindle not rebooting after installing ADB, download and run the ADB fixer for 2.0.0 and run it. Then you can run the "2. Root" from the main menu and it should work!
