BurritoRoot3 is an all in one package, to root and install the custom bootlaoder, FireFireFire, onto the KindleFire.

Instructions are pretty plain and simple, however you will have to get adb working on your own (if you have written, or know of adb guides for the Kindle Fire please PM me to list them here).

What it does:
Gains root, installs superuser, installs su and installs the FireFireFire bootloader.

At this time, we do not have permission to distribute any recovery, once one is available for our use, we will add auto flashing of recovery.

How to use:

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp

Run app, follow directions given by the app.


Usage example :

[email protected]:~$ adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp <---- This one is important, it may not create BurritoRoot3.bin if this is not done
[email protected]:~$ adb install BurritoRoot3.apk

If you already have root, and want to safely install the FireFireFire bootloader, you can use the app, just install, open/close the app then

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n net.andirc.burritoroot3/net.andirc.burritoroot3.FireFireFire



To install the CWR recovery by DoomLord after gaining root:

Download it, and push it to your Kindle

adb push <filename> /data/local/recovery.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery

Would you support the archos G9 devices

Doesn't archos sign or lock system?

I love you Devs so much. I just got a Kindle today, but as I watched the video your Kindle shows up under Other Devices as if it didn't install the device driver. Mine is installed under portable devices. Can I just update that one or is there a debug mode for the Kindle that I'm missing?

Thanks for all you do!

LoL Nevermind I think I know why mine isn't there... I've already installed ADB from before. I shall continue on and see what happens :-D

I'm currently running Ubuntu 11.10(Without access to a windows computer to do so.) And after following the steps within the BurritoRoot I get error: insufficient permissions for device when entering adb root. I've rebooted my kindle and laptop as well as changed usb ports.

I've set it up so that it's acknowledged within /.android. Am I perhaps missing something sdk wise? The usb configuration install for extras within it says Linux isn't compatible. But any insight into this would be appreciated I'm not new to Android or adb for that matter. Things seem to be done differently for the Kindle is all.

Thanks guys.

I can not get ADB to recognize the device for the life of me.

I know I have the drivers installed the Fire is recognized as "android composite adb interface" under the Android Phone category in Device manager. But I can not get adb to see it.

"Adb kill-server"
"adb devices"
and it shows no devices attached. Ive done a factory reset on the tablet just to see (knowing it wouldn't make a difference)

Im running Windows XP
if someone could help me out.

I'm sure its related to windows' drivers but I have no clue. Sorry

Thanks man, I knew I must have failed to do something. It's much appreciated.

 

[ovrrdrive]

Dis this last night and it worked fine. Thanks!

I did have a few minor stumbles though. It seems the newest version of the software changed the name of the superuser app but the guide still uses the old name in the install command. Once I realized this I just changed the name in the command and it went right in.

Also for some reason I couldn't select the text in the adb box on the web page so I had to enter the commands by hand. No big deal but I would have felt more secure if the commands were in simple text so I could have copy/paste them in.

Like I said though everything worked and I have the market installed now. Thanks for the hard work!

I'm having some trouble with mine...I am trying to follow the video instructions to the link but it shows downloading a .android folder and extracting it to my user name on desktop but there is no such link. I have downloaded SDK and installed google usb drivers as well. I have 6.2.1 firmware and downloaded kindleroot_androidpolice.apk and placed on my kindle and I also downloaded superuser-2. I am not able to install the driver to the fire either. I go to my computer, manage, device manager, kindle, update driver software, browse my computer, etc. I have no INF file to choose under my .android folder.

Any help would be appreciated

My sd card is showing up as unmounted and not sure how to remount it. I sent adb remount and it didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

This tool will attempt to install the correct Drivers for the Kindle Fire.
It will also perform the setup required for adb_usb.ini in .android for you.

My issue is it cannot find my device...where can I find the kindleADB.zip I keep hearing about?

 

[b63]

did you do install_drivers.bat first ?
take a look:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20698002&postcount=283
that should correct the path issue

 

[Osmannm123123123]

You should get the same files from the android Sdi. Good luck.

Jcase, I know that you said the unroot button did not work, but is there a method of unrooting?

Yes thank you. Moving it to the same as the run.bat seemed to have worked as it shows online now when running the Kindle Fire Utility. I switched it to fast boot but now seems to have been frozen at the kindle fire logo for quite some time now. I heard you have to switch to fastbook to install TWRP first before rooting?

I am not sure if I should attempt to somehow reboot this as it seems to be stuck at the boot up screen

 

[b63]

wrong - switch back to normal boot and use the utility
