Root for Kindle Fire HD 7 ( 7.2.2 / 7.2.3) !!!
- Thread starter natorus87
- Start date
So this worked for me with the Softwareversion 7.2.2 !
Step 1 use this tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 and use the normal method.
(the program will say that the process has not worked but this it all ok) now the Kindle is very slow
and the display is blinking.
Step 2 now you use the Quemu Method for the 7.2.1 version (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1893838)
That was all and now you should have root!! n
*Update: This works also with the 7.2.3 Software versioni only used the 1 Step ( Root many Androids )
Thanks to using the method in this post I was able to successfully root my Kindle Fire HD.
Thanks to everyone for their hardwork.

Waywyrd,
That is great to hear, the Qemu method is a solid Method to Root the Kindle. This is a solid sign you did a great job with installing the driver since the Qemu method is very sensitive to the driver install. Since we monitor this thread only once a day, if you are ever needing a quick response, please post here:

I'm having issues. Running Win8 Pro.
I did the windows button+i thing, which restarts Windows into a mode to install the ABD drivers. I did that, they installed, but it said not correctly.
Then I ran the first program in the OP, and I guess it doesn't recognize my Fire HD,,

Rooted
First off I would like to say thank you...
Second, I have never spent so much time simply rooted an adroid device. I am the go-to guy for all my family and friends when it comes to tech related things like rooting, and have rooted more phones and tablets than I care to count. But now that it's my personal device it takes me not hours, but days, to get it done... I tried the main, most popular method first, with every possible combination of settings. Never worked... Finnaly today I decided to give it up, or at least that method and try this one... First three times I ran it, nothing... fourth time I changed out the cord (and didnt run .bat in Admin) and BINGO! it started to work. Fired up the second program and now its perfect.
I only wish I would have tried this method first, it only took about 7 minutes compared to multiple days on the other method.

Rooting through Mac for KFHD 7
Not sure if anyone has rooted using Mac (am running 10.7.5). But the following worked for me to root Kindle Fire HD 7".
1. Download adt from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and extracted it to some folder in Mac (mine: ~/Downloads/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130219/)
2. Download the root file from the 1st link in OP and extracted it to a folder in Mac (mine : cd ~/Downloads/Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18/)
3. Go into that folder and run the following commands.
$ cd ~/Downloads/Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18/
# first move the existing adb file in root zip to some other name
$ mv stuff/adb stuff/adb_backup
# link the adb from sdt
$ ln -s ~/Downloads/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130219/sdk/platform-tools/adb ./stuff/
# run adb just in case to check that it is working - the following command should list your device. If not, there is something wrong.
$ ./stuff/adb devices
# Give run permissions for the RunMe.sh
$ chmod +x RunMe.sh
# then run it
$ ./RunMe.sh
voila.... there you go. I got it mine working this way.
I have only used #1 method in the OP and it seems to be working for me. So did not proceed with #2.

38So this worked for me with the Softwareversion 7.2.2 !

Step 2 now you use the Quemu Method for the 7.2.1 version (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1893838)
That was all and now you should have root!! n
*Update: This works also with the 7.2.3 Software version i only used the 1 Step ( Root many Androids )2This works for KF2 as well. Just Step 1 will do. The ADB in the zip file is not updated, so you have to download the newest SDK and then copy all the files from /platform-tools/ to /stuff/ in the unzipped location (overwrite all existing files) and run the batch file after.
ADB install still doesn't work after. So install a file explorer direct from the Kindle and do all the necessary there.2[/COLOR]For anyone having to do the manual method i'm going to try and post the link to my file i made with the new ADB files, kindle adb drivers, SU and Superuser.apk.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/92593000/root.zip
So as i said before, follow the first step as mentioned already. (Although for this i had to extract the adb file and replace it with mine aswell)
Once you've completed the first step, you then follow the qemu manual cmd prompt entry. Follow this brilliant video from reverendkjr (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1891939)
The manual commands are here:
adb shell
rm -r /data/local/tmp
ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp
exit
adb reboot
adb shell
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
exit
abd reboot
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
adb install Superuser.apk
The original instructions can be found here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/09...-how-to-do-it/
Just for reference none of this work is mine all credit for this work goes to sparkym3 and reverendkjr. I just made the file with the latest adb files.
When Rev tells you to enter the directory for your adb, link to the file downloaded from the dropbox link above.
Should all work then If not let me know and i'll try to help where i can. Worked great for me!2You are one great guy
It worked like a charm. I had to use both steps and in the middle of the Root_with_Restore all my icons and images disappeared (big panic), They reappeared towards the end of the Quemu and all went well,
So, if it happens to somebody else no need to panic!
Thanks again indeed ::victory:
