If you see a serial number (if you do see a serial number after "./stuff/adb devices" then reboot the Kindle and the Apple, wait 3 minutes and start this process over) proceed:
We have to say, this was a challenging one, since the process worked flawlessly for a couple of months. Sometimes you have to change the software to make it work. In your case, it took a number of changes to the software and to the actual method used but through your perseverance we finally got it done together.
Thank you very much for your hard work and efforts, this will make it much smoother for people in the future.

I am on ubuntu/linux, messing with a kindle 2...
So this is my problem;
Im hoping this isnt because of something I had previously done. Any ideas?
Have you downloaded the latest copy of our software released today 02/10/2013? If no, go to the main page and check the reduced steps - be sure to refresh your browser so you see the latest information, OK? You will see some changes to the software, so download the correct package for your platform. Also, be sure you update Java per the new instructions. Once you do this the Root process is really smooth.

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31
-d - directs command to the only connected USB device
returns an error if more than one USB device is present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is running.
-s <specific device> - directs command to the device or emulator with the given
serial number or qualifier. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL
environment variable.
-p <product name or path> - simple product name like 'sooner', or
a relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.
If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT
environment variable is used, which must
be an absolute path.
devices [-l] - list all connected devices
('-l' will also list device qualifiers)
connect <host>[:<port>] - connect to a device via TCP/IP
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.
disconnect [<host>[:<port>]] - disconnect from a TCP/IP device.
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.
Using this command with no additional arguments
will disconnect from all connected TCP/IP devices.
device commands:
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> [<local>] - copy file/dir from device
adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed
(-l means list but don't copy)
(see 'adb help all')
adb shell - run remote shell interactively
adb shell <command> - run remote shell command
adb emu <command> - run emulator console command
adb logcat [ <filter-spec> ] - View device log
adb forward <local> <remote> - forward socket connections
forward specs are one of:
tcp:<port>
localabstract:<unix domain socket name>
localreserved:<unix domain socket name>
localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>
dev:<character device name>
jdwp:<process pid> (remote only)
adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
adb install [-l] [-r] [-s] [--algo <algorithm name> --key <hex-encoded key> --iv <hex-encoded iv>] <file>
- push this package file to the device and install it
('-l' means forward-lock the app)
('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data)
('-s' means install on SD card instead of internal storage)
('--algo', '--key', and '--iv' mean the file is encrypted already)
adb uninstall [-k] <package> - remove this app package from the device
('-k' means keep the data and cache directories)
adb bugreport - return all information from the device
that should be included in a bug report.
adb backup [-f <file>] [-apk|-noapk] [-shared|-noshared] [-all] [-system|-nosystem] [<packages...>]
- write an archive of the device's data to <file>.
If no -f option is supplied then the data is written
to "backup.ab" in the current directory.
(-apk|-noapk enable/disable backup of the .apks themselves
in the archive; the default is noapk.)
(-shared|-noshared enable/disable backup of the device's
shared storage / SD card contents; the default is noshared.)
(-all means to back up all installed applications)
(-system|-nosystem toggles whether -all automatically includes
system applications; the default is to include system apps)
(<packages...> is the list of applications to be backed up. If
the -all or -shared flags are passed, then the package
list is optional. Applications explicitly given on the
command line will be included even if -nosystem would
ordinarily cause them to be omitted.)
adb restore <file> - restore device contents from the <file> backup archive
adb help - show this help message
adb version - show version num
scripting:
adb wait-for-device - block until device is online
adb start-server - ensure that there is a server running
adb kill-server - kill the server if it is running
adb get-state - prints: offline | bootloader | device
adb get-serialno - prints: <serial-number>
adb get-devpath - prints: <device-path>
adb status-window - continuously print device status for a specified device
adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device read-write
adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally into the bootloader or recovery program
adb reboot-bootloader - reboots the device into the bootloader
adb root - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions
adb usb - restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB
adb tcpip <port> - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port
networking:
adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.
<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]
<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:
- If <directory> is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be updated.
- If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition
is updated.
environmental variables:
ADB_TRACE - Print debug information. A comma separated list of the following values
1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync, sysdeps, transport, jdwp
ANDROID_SERIAL - The serial number to connect to. -s takes priority over this if given.
ANDROID_LOG_TAGS - When used with the logcat option, only these debug tags are printed.

Kindle Fire HD 7" v7.2.3 / Ubuntu '12 .04 Linux 32
First of all, thank you for your extraordinary work and the availability and accuracy of your support. Naturally I hope that you will give a little indulgence and availability to a poor frenchie through google to translate, if not understand
Thanks to your instructions, after several trial and error because my English fails, simply run "Linux 32-bit Version 18.5.1: Linux32.zip 'I got to the stage where I could launch' Root Check Basic 'on my KHDF7 that seemed happy to meet me 'Congratulations! Has This device root access! "
Effectively by ES File Explorer, I can go back to the root of my system and see the files, etc. mnt root system ... '
But when I try to load an application on Google market it closes without warning and loading remains stop;
Where did I miss a step?
I confess that all happy with my 'root' I am not yet passed the stage 'B) Finally, let's disable the Amazon OTA (Over The Air) Updates so your hard work is not destroyed, I'm stuck on what because I do not see a tutorial for Ubuntu Linux.
Thank you for your help.

Next, move onto our How to: Install Google Play Step-by-Step Thread.
Both of them are for Windows. How can I do it via Mac? I want the Google Play Store and Jelly Bean ( I hate the Amazon Display + I can't download every Apps I would like to). How do I get them after rooting my Kindle? I'm now at Step B).

Finally,
I put everything in place according to your specifications by the manual method. I must say that the result is great especially considering the price of the Kindle Fire HD bought in France by Amazon.
But a question I have been able to avoid paying Amazon to remove the advertising?
That does not stop me from giving you a gift but I would gladly rose that I have to pay Amazon.
Thanks for all your great job ! I've been watching this thread for a couple of days and I'm quite interested in rooting my girlfriend's Kindle Fire (not the HD one).
As a newbie, I'm a bit scared with this work. What worst can happen to the kindle ? Is there a chance it get locked if I do something wrong (except switching it off at the bad moment, of course) ? Or it just won't work.
