To any and everyone who knows how. Which way is the proper way as of Today to root the kf2? To many videos and guides they confusing me and then when I tried a method i saw on youtube it wouldnt recognize my device but then again it was for the 6.3 version I believe. I need this rooted before christmas because I'm bought it to give as a gift but without root I feel like playing frisbee #frustrated

Took me 10seconds to find this thread which works for the KF(2) (also reported for the 10.2.4 firmware)...just follow the steps (before make sure you got the right adb driver installed) and you device should be rooted!

Can`t understand why people don't use the search option, even when i type in google "kindle 10.2.3 root" i`ll get a solution for it!

I found that I had to plug out the kindle. Un install the device from device manager. Then with adb already enabled plug it back in. Then it should fail to automatically install the driver from there you can install.

How do you uninstall? I go to device manager and see kindle listed and adb interface below it but when I right click kindle I don't get a un install option

How I re-rooted the KF2 after much aggrivation and little sleep

Actually, I just re-rooted but, was not that simple. Had to do some manual commands using adb to push su and whatnot. Took several fails, too.

First thing you have to do tho is: Navigate to your Android SDK folder and download the newer drivers for the KF2 then update the drivers in Windows. Launch "Android SDK Manager" then click Tools then "Manage Addon Sites". In the next window, click the tab at the top titled, "User Defined Sites". Then, click "New" and add this line:

http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml

Next: install the Gen 2 drivers and anything else you are missing from the Android 4.0.3 package.

Then: Using "Device Manager" in Windows, update the drivers for your Kindle and reboot your computer.

Then, do this: Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18

Then use this: tf101_ics_root.zip

Then download this:


Then: unzip or unrar that and take "Superuser.apk" from the system\app folder and "su" from system\bin and paste them in the
"adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools" directory.

Then while in "adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools", hold "Shift" while right-clicking anywhere in the folder that is empty and choose, "Open Command Window Here"

In the Command Window:

adb devices

adb shell

rm -r /data/local/tmp
ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp

exit

adb reboot

adb devices

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

adb reboot

adb devices

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local.prop
exit

adb reboot

adb install Superuser.apk

You should now be rooted. Open the superuser app and make sure it's up to date and working.

If after any of these commands you get "permissions denied" you have to start over.

I'll attach that "Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip" at the bottom here:

I had the same issue. I updated SDK, uninstalled all drivers, unplugged the fire2. Then in SDK went to tools, manage addon sites, selected user defined sites, added new and copied: http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml, then ok, close, scrolled to the botom of SDK manager, under extras there were 2 kindle fire options, I selected both and installed them, then closed SDK manager.

I wen to the folder were SDK resides, then folder: extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver and installed the fire USB drivers, then pluged in the kindle, then execute the instructions posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051270) and everything worked like a charm. I hope this works for you! (BTW this solution was developed by someone else can't remember who, but I founded it, used it and shared it).

Try removing the drivers and then installing them using the installer in the post above yours.
