Not for me. ADB still won't recognize it.

Try this. Under the 'android-sdk' directory placed when you installed the Android SDK, (you did install that, yes?) locate & select the 'tools' directory. From Windows 7, hold down <shift> on the keyboard, and right click on the 'tools' sub-directory. Select 'Open Command Window Here' to open a command prompt in the 'tools' sub-directory.

In the command window, type "android update adb" (no quotes)

This should cause the SDK to refresh it's list of connected devices, which will update the '.INI' file if it detected the device. If it didn't detect the device, you're still boned.

Was able to get it, and this method worked great once I was able to get the device detected. Had to uninstall the Kindle drivers once, and after the reinstall it showed up as a composite device. Thanks for the easy rooting method, perfect for novices like myself.

How i can check if the kindle is rooted? What Appear on the cmd windows? daemon started succesfully?

I am far from an expert on this, but if you are using this method here, once you believe the process is finished, you should see the SuperUser app in your app list on the device itself.

I had the same problem. You should install ADB tools. Just gooogle it. After that put an .ini file in specific folder. And after that it will work.
As for the messege you get from your PC, it is ok. I got this messege too, but the drivers are ok.
