I am extremely sorry for the delay. I didn't find out yet how to get notified if someone posts a reply to my message. So I missed seeing your question on time.
- I used Mac (10.8.4) + android sdk.
$ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31
Android sdk: adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130219
- I installed the drivers using the Mac installer (just followed the procedure to install android sdk (
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)).
For rooting the device, I used "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18". Since I did not have a fastboot cable, I had to root to boot into fastboot using the below command:
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
I used the same for my previous kindle when the kindle had 7.1 version. I did not face any issues. It was very smooth. But I had 7.4.3 running already when I tried on the new kindle.
Please let me know if you need more information. I am willing to provide (even execute commands to get what is required) whatever information you need.
And thanks for all your hard work. :good:
