Hey guys, I have Kindle Fire HD 16gig, version 7.2.2. I managed to get as far as this..

adb shell
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop

Until I get permission denied, anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks

Did you do the reboot in the right places? Might also try the HTC Sensation temp root which is based on this method. It provides 2 batch files to automate the temp root part. Just need to manually mount the filesystem as writeable and install SU binary and app.

I'm rooted and want to add Google Play but when I click on some of the needed downloads my monitor just keeps flashing and never completes the download. Any ideas?

The question was asked in the other forum and not answered. If I can change system permission why do I need to root my device? With the first command I get rm failed for /data/local/tmp, Permission denied. Makes sense. What Is the secret? What version of adb should I be using?:crying:

dockmon,

I am sorry for the delayed response, we were down for over 1 week. Anyway, How can you change system permissions, this is only allowed if you are Rooted.

We go by the date. The current ADB is 01/05/2013, our Noob Guide has the latest software and ADB. If you go here:

You will be able to obtain the latest versions of the software. There is no secret, just some steps that take advantage of a known exploit in Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Rooting gives you power to do anything on your Kindle, it is worth taking the time to Root. We are back, responding to the posts now.

Hi prokennuxusa,

Can You tell me if I can use Your tutorial to root my new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (System version 8.1.4_user_1413620)?

I just need a Google Play Store but if I understand correctly I first need to root my device to be able to do that...

mmesh,

First let me apologize for the delay, I was out helping my Father yesterday who is a quadriplegic. Your question if our tutorials are compatible with the Kindle Fire HD 8.9", the answer is yes, all our tutorials work with Kindle Fire HD 8.9", the Kindle Fire HD 7" and the Kindle Fire 2:

Just flashed TWRP to my kindle fire hd and wanted to say that there is no need for a factory cable, just use
adb shell su -c "reboot recovery"
... and it boots into fastboot. Didn't find that in your threads concerning fastboot etc.

freaksworth,

Yes, we are aware of this, the Factory USB Cable is for the Kindle Fire HD 7" and the Kindle Fire 2, do not ever use it on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" damage will result. Up until 1 week ago, you had to use a Factory USB Cable but recently Hascode has cracked the Bootloader allowing you to boot like any other Android.

There are several ways to enable Fastboot on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9":

Turn the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" off, plug into USB and type:

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

While you see <waiting for device> - turn the Kindle on, it will boot into Fastboot.

Once you are done, hold the power down for 20 seconds or type:

Code:

fastboot reboot -i 0x1949

To exit Recovery. Now once you have TWRP on the Kindle Fire HD 7" or 2 you can enter the Recovery without a Fastboot cable by:

Code:

adb shell su -c "reboot recovery"

Hi,
I'm talking about my kindle fire hd 7" without TWRP.
I defenitely do not own a factory cable yet and booted into fastboot as explained. (many times with different cables)

freaksworth,

This statement can be confusing to people, we just tried to boot 3 different Kindle Fire HD 7" using this method:

Code:

adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"

None of these would boot into Fastboot. Maybe we are missing something like Hashcode Method as outlined here:

Download Stack override file to Root of ADB: http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/stack
Download kfhd7-freedom-boot.img (USED ONLY THE FIRST TIME -- .zip files will have their own boot.img's from now on) to Root of Fastboot: http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/kfhd7-freedom-boot.img
Download TWRP Recovery to Root of Fastboot: http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/kfh...0-recovery.img

Then following Hashcode Method as outlined here:

Code:

adb push stack /data/local/tmp/
adb shell su -c "dd if=/data/local/tmp/stack of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system bs=6519488 seek=1"

Then following Hashcode Method as outlined here:

Code:

adb shell su -c "mount -o remount,rw ext4 /system"
adb shell su -c "mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak"
adb shell su -c "mount -o remount,ro ext4 /system"

Then following Hashcode Method as outlined here - Be sure the Kindle is Powered off prior to starting the flash process:

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd7-freedom-boot.img

Then following Hashcode Method as outlined here - While you see <waiting for device> turn the Kindle on then proceed:

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.3.3.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

By the way, Hashcode is a complete genius to be able to figure this out on the Kindle Fire 7" HD! Now you are able to use this command to boot into Recovery:

Code:

adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"

freaksworth · Feb 5, 2013

I have to apologize.
It hast to be:
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"

(of course you cannot boot into recovery on stock kindle...)

freaksworth,

No worries, we just thought we were going crazy since that command has been around for a long time. We just did not want people to think they could simply boot the Kindle into Fastboot - we have been trying this for the last year, this is why we say Hashcode is a genius.
