Hello,
I tried to search for the solution for this but wasn't able to, so posting as a new thread..
I have been trying Root_with_Restore_Bin4ry_v33 to root my Kindle Fire 8.9 HD running firmware 8.4.8, and had no success in rooting the device.
The error I am getting is
"mount: permission denied (are you root?)"
which comes out from the command
./stuff/adb shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
I ran the command with sudo (in my Mac) but it did not help. It seems that only very few people had the same problem but did not find the solution.
FYI, I did turn on (1) USB debugging and (2) Allow installtion from unknown sources before trying to root the device.
Here are possible suspects:
(1) I wonder this problem is specific to Mac OS X. I replaced ./stuff/adb to the version from adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030. Did anyone have success in rooting KFHD in Mac OS X?
(2) I wonder this problem is specific to newer version of firmware (8.4.8), but I do see people without having problems with this version.
(3) Any other possible reasons?
Thanks for your help - H
