Yeah got it ti works now sorry.What about a fastboot reboot command? Does that reboot?
Edit: This whole root script not work correctly if you're already rooted. You'll hit the same permission issues you had before.

The starting script part should probably take a second or less since all it's doing is copying a couple of files and setting permissions. I should probably reflect the script to say that instead of be patient.
Use the v3 script I just uploaded. Do you want to make a big zip with all of the windows and linux/mac files in it?
I'm going to grab some food. I'm starving.
Congrats everyone, thanks to all for your time and contributions!

Sure when you have time
You already have everything
Just take @diegocr zip, add the v3 batch script, and post that.
We can tweak the .sh script to echo what its doing later. They just need to be in the directory with the files and have adb/fastboot in their path, and USB debugging enabled on the Fire.

Yeah did it, Uploaded the files and we are ready to go live with this root patch!!
Just used the root package you guys linked to on the first post on windows, ran the batch file, followed the prompts. Confirmed rooted with no issues! Thanks to all of you who contributed to this!
If someone has problems with busybox binary supplied with the zip package you can install Stericson busybox from playstore and will work perfectly:

Awesome Job guys! Many thanks for all hard work everyone has put in trying to get root on this thing.
I was trying to figure out a method for the past 2-3 days and then i brought the idea to development, Not taking anyones credit but they helped i only figured out that chainfire is now releasing a method at the same time i wanted to root this thing and when i put fastboot boot asked me for an img file then i realized we could edit the intrd.rc file and blah blah.

45NOTE THIS ROOT ONLY WORKS WITH FIRE OS 5.0.1 AND ONLY THE HD 7 NOT THE 10 OR 8
WE HAVE GAINED ROOT!!!
Thanks to @jkchr1s for the help and the windows bat file, @csolanol for actually finding the root, and @diegocr as well as the @Chainfire SuperSu for the root binaries!!
Heres a video for you guys who need help:

Just download the zip file from this link and remember to use a windows/linux device for now.
Mediafire Mirror #1
For windows hit install.bat and follow trough the steps
For Linux run it through the linux command prompt
2nd way to root:
1. Download supers from chain fires website https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
2. Download @ggow custom recovery or @cnsoal Twrp

http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/recovery-cyanogen-recovery-2015-11-04-t3240726
3. Place the recovery image in the same folder as adb and fastboot.
4. Put your fire in fastboot mode
5. Boot into the custom recovery via "fastboot boot <recoverimsgename>.img.
6. You should be in the cynogen recovery (Or twrp depending on which recovery you downloaded_
7. Then pick adb sideload, and select it and manually install drivers. If you're too lazy just place su in your SD card and flash the zip from there.
8. Adb sideload supersu and you'll get root!!
REMEMBER WE ARE NOT LIABLE IF YOUR TABLET IS BRICKED!!!
I have also left the boot.img tool as well as the modified versions of the boot.img files just incase if anyone else wants to probably dig deeper and explore more about the boot.img file655Just for those of you that wanna root it just now:
Files needed and a boot.img to apply with fastboot boot boot.img:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/nurzm8q3pqx2v4z/root_fire.zip?dl=0
Unzip the attachment and push the files directory contents to /data/loca/tmp using adb
Example: adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
...
and then do the follwing in adb shell:
mkdir /system/app/SuperSU
chmod 0755 /system/app/SuperSU
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/app/SuperSU
cp /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/SuperSU/SuperSU.apk
chmod 0644 /system/app/SuperSU/SuperSU.apk
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/app/SuperSU/SuperSU.apk
mkdir /system/bin/.ext
chmod 0755 /system/bin/.ext
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/bin/.ext
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/xbin/su
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin/.ext/.su
chmod 0755 /system/bin/.ext/.su
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/bin/.ext/.su
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/daemonsu
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/xbin/daemonsu
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/sugote
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/sugote
chcon ubject_r:zygote_exec:s0 /system/xbin/sugote
cp /data/local/tmp/supolicy /system/xbin/supolicy
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/supolicy
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/xbin/supolicy
cp /data/local/tmp/libsupol.so /system/lib/libsupol.so
chmod 0644 /system/lib/libsupol.so
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/lib/libsupol.so
cp /system/bin/sh /system/xbin/sugote-mksh
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/sugote-mksh
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/xbin/sugote-mksh
cp /system/bin/app_process32 /system/bin/app_process32_original
chmod 0755 /system/bin/app_process32_original
chcon ubject_r:zygote_exec:s0 /system/bin/app_process32_original
cp /system/bin/app_process32 /system/bin/app_process_init
chmod 0755 /system/bin/app_process_init
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/bin/app_process_init
rm /system/bin/app_process
rm /system/bin/app_process32
ln -s /system/xbin/daemonsu /system/bin/app_process
ln -s /system/xbin/daemonsu /system/bin/app_process32
touch /system/etc/.installed_su_daemon
chmod 0644 /system/etc/.installed_su_daemon
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/etc/.installed_su_daemon
Once all is done you need to fastboot boot boot.img again to establish proper perms to the new files. Actually we can't change ownership of files to root from adb.
Run this command in adb shell:
/system/xbin/su --install
Then reboot and voila! you are root.
Sorry for text format by chrome doesn't allow me to format it as code...
