I modified slayer615's batch code to Auto-Root the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" 14.3.1.0
I can not confirm that this works simply because I don't own the 8.9" hdx. If you get root, please tell me so I can confirm it.
1: Get the adb drivers and install. here
2: Enable adb on the Kindle
3: Connect Kindle to computer, goto Device Manager in Control Panel, Look for the unsupported adb device (if not found safely remove hardware the kindle on the taskbar), Click the unsupported device and click update driver then point it to the android_winusb file in the driver install directory.
4: Download the root14.3.1.0.7z file, unpack
5: Run the runme.bat Follow along. That's it!
At this point you should be rooted. You can now install SuperSU and Busybox on your HDX. If not connecting in the batch file make sure you have the adb drivers installed first! If not root, reply. Remember this is tested to work on Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" 14.3.1.0
Thanks goes to: fi01 for finding the bug, Jcase for making the exploit, slayer615 for making the batch bundle.

To block Amazon auto-updates:
Download and install Android Firewall (root required first)
Once installed white list the apps you want wifi to use, open the set custom script option
Enter:Hit ok and that should block Amazon from pushing updates to your Kindle HDXCode:iptables -A "droidwall" -s 72.21.194.208 -j "droidwall-reject" iptables -A "droidwall" -s 176.32.195.233 -j "droidwall-reject" iptables -A "droidwall" -s 72.21.195.233 -j "droidwall-reject"
Sorry, I had to switch to Dropbox instead of Google drive. Google didn't like the packed adb.exe.
It worked for me. Thanks. Here is what the script showed:

It works on my Kindle fire hdx 8.9, but the functions of LBE seem not to be completely opened. And the wrong message: 403 forbidden will appear when I download from web pages. Strange. How to scroll it back?
LBE is a security software. And good news is the problem disappeared after I clean the cookie and connect to another network router. Now, my kindle fire HDX 8.9 is rooted normally. Thanks a lot.

if i root with this can i install google play?? if i install google play can i install apps from play store?? can i download apk and just install them as third pary apks?? i know what rooting gives us, im no noob, but im confused as to what rooting gives us with the kindle fire OS. im a first time kindler but have owned and unlocked\rooted many androids before.
any good news on unlockin bootloader???
With this rooting method, you do can install google market(following an additional tutorial). Once you have market installed, you wont be able to install apps through market, you will have to sideload. I have done that and all google apps work with no problem...
sent from my rooted Kindle Fire HDX 8.9
thanks!! just the answer i was looking for. so without custom roms and the ability root and side load apks how do you rate the kindle fir hdx? mine is in the mail so i havent been able to tinker around with it but the only downside i see with the kindle fire hdx is the fire OS. is that a big draw back??

It comes down to what you use it for. If you have Amazon Prime, Fire OS is perfect. For me I can care less. I have the HDX 7". I have Hashcode's TWRP recovery installed and made a backup of my ROM and running it from a rom slot. Just waiting to install custom ROM's. The bootloader is still locked and may stay that way for a while. But, with safestrap it adds a boot recovery menu.
Hash is working on porting safestrap to the 8.9" but for now it is ONLY on the 7".

I modified slayer615's batch code to Auto-Root the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" 14.3.1.0
1: Download the adb driver and install it to your computer.
2: Connect the Kindle to a computer. Then Enable adb on the Kindle in Settings --> Device
3: On your computer goto Control Panel ---> System ---> Device Manager. Look under the Other devices tab. Right-Click Android and click update driver. Then click Browse My Computer. Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers. Scroll down and select Kindle Fire. Hit next until the driver installs.
4: Download the root14.zip file, unpack
5: Run the runme.bat Follow along. That's it!
At this point you should be rooted. You can now install SuperSU and Busybox on your HDX. If not connecting in the batch file make sure you have the adb drivers installed first! If not root, reply. Remember this is tested to work on Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" 14.3.1.0

NOTICE:
If the Hdx is updated past this point Amazon may patch the bug and so you loose root.
To block Amazon auto-updates:
Download and install Android Firewall (root required first)
Once installed white list all the apps you want wifi to use or just all of them, open the set custom script option.
Enter:Hit ok and that should block Amazon from pushing updates to your Kindle HDXCode:iptables -A "droidwall" -s 72.21.194.208 -j "droidwall-reject" iptables -A "droidwall" -s 176.32.195.233 -j "droidwall-reject" iptables -A "droidwall" -s 72.21.195.233 -j "droidwall-reject"
THIS IS 100% WORKING ON VERSION 14.3.1.0
Please leave a response how it worked!
-NOTICE- If your browser flags the root14.zip file it is because of the packed adb.exe file.
Sorry, I had to switch to Dropbox instead of Google drive. Google didn't like the packed adb.exe.
