[Root] Kindle Fire HD 7" 2013 (KFSOWI) 11.3.1.0 [CLOSING]

[Moronig]

Straight copy of jcase's post here, with only modified binaries.

jcase's words:
Please do not donate to me for this, it is not my original work. If you want to donate, I suggest finding a way to donate to fi01 (not aware of a way or if he accepts them) or donating to a charity. It is the holiday times, maybe a toys for tots or something similar. I know a lot of ppl dislike the salvation army, and I can't stand up with some of the things they do, but their toy donation program is good and they do get the toys to kids who really have no other option, maybe drop off some new toys? May be food to a food bank?

Credits go to fi01 and jcase.

File kindlehd2013_root.zip contains 3 files, exploit, rootme.sh and su.
The file root_script.zip contains the same 3 files, plus adb binaries for linux and windows, and a windows script.

adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb push rootme.sh /data/local/tmp/
adb push exploit /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/exploit
adb shell /data/local/tmp/exploit -c "/data/local/tmp/rootme.sh"

Install Instructions:

1. Download the root_script.zip, and unzip it to a folder.
2. If you are on windows, run the runme.bat file, and you should be done.
3. On linux, navigate to the folder you unzipped the files in using the terminal, and run the commands above.
4. You are rooted!
5. If you want to control access to root, I reccomend you install supersu or superuser, just sideload the apk or install it from 1mobile market. On superuser you may need to update the su binary and restart your kindle. Otherwise every app that requests root will get it.

Thanks to slayer615 for the script!

root3d on XDA werked 4 mi!

Easy enough. Now just waiting on a full Android.

I see the script has been made which is awesome. That was quick lol. For those going manually you download the zip, extract the files open and save them files into a directory. Then CD from that directory using the commands listed in OP to push said files.

Prety much, and I had my device to test, so I thought: why not give it a shot?

hi moronig,

thank you very much for that really fast solution! i would like to now if i could check if the rooting process succeeded? and my 2nd question, what about custom roms?

thank you

The easiest way to check is by opening an adb shell then typing 'su'.
If you get a hash (#) prompt, you have root.

Alternatively you can install Supersu or superuser, or any app which requires root.

Excellent work! The root method worked flawlessly. I noticed the hardware is not all that different from 2012 edition.
Would the custom roms for KFH2 have any chance of running on the new one?
Also should we bother with installing a recovery manager at this stage?
I'm hoping we can get some devs on the bandwagon now and start pumping some custom roms.

No custom ROMs for this yet.
