Hi and thanks so much for your video work. As a total non-techie type I fathomed the rooting perfectly. The problem I now have is that I need you to do an UNBRICKING video
I sideloaded what would appear to be a corrupt version of GO Launcher EX which has now, after granting it priority over the “standard” launcher has now put my kindle in a constant boot-up mode.
The existing unbricking vids are WAY too hard to fathom what to do, so is there any advice you can offer?
Thanks, Paul.
On Mac os Lion, Its not possible to create a Directory .android

Could you please make a video on how to root the Kindle Fire version 6.2.2 for Mac? I think you have to use BurritoRoot 2.
Sincerely,

When I use “adb root” on command line, I get “adb cannot run as root in production builds”. Brand new Fire with 6.2.2_user_3205220.
Any ideas?
I have the same issue. when sending the [./adb-mac root] command I receive the following…
[adbd cannot run as root in production builds]
Running the 6.2.2.2 version.
I tried to root My Kindle Fire 6.2.2. using KindleFireRootNew622.zip and BurritoRoot3.apk. I can see the batch file (rootKindleFire.bat) failing to install BurritoRoot3.bin, I can’t find that file nowhere. When I run the Android Police, I have this error popup “please run/dare/local/tmp/rurrito3.bin.
When I run superuser I got a white screen with “no log information” and “showing 0 entries”.
What can I do?
I will really appreciate any help, I have run the procedure several times while watching the video and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

I am asking for help because my rooted fire crashed and i thought i had firefirefire installed but when the boot options menu came up none of them did anything so i shut it off and turned it back on, its been on the opening “kindle fire” screen for like a day now and i want to know if there is anything i can do to save it. I used kindlewater for Mac to root it. Please please please email me with help i would extremely appreciate it. I don’t have $200 to go buy a new one
i’m considering purchasing a kindle fire, but i wanted to know a few things first. i’m a complete noob when it comes to rooting and jailbreaking and i from what i’ve read, each new software update from amazon wipes the previous rooting attempt, but what about media and apps that were able to be installed because of the root? will you lose anything else aside from the admin access during updates? is there any scenario short of crashing tht you cause you to lose media? does amazon ever force a factory reset or media wipe?

I rooted my kindle fire successfully. When i installed and flashed an ICS rom it has become stuck in a bootloop…it will boot into clock work mod recovery but thats about it. Help??
U can fix it by plugging it up to ur computer and downloading kindle fire utility and doing the steps that say boot loop or if that doesn’t work google update.zip for kindle fire and put it on kindle then flash it(this will unbrick your kindle and indoor it) so if u want to root again full have to start all over
Hi, I did something retarded. I was in TWRP, and for some strange reason thought wiping my system and SD card was a good idea. Now I cant flash any ROM’s (or any of the amazon OS updates). Is there any way I can fix this?
You can try unrooting it.
Thanks
Unrooting it? He can’t do that if he deleted the system and SD card cuz he deleted his backups he’s fucked its technically bricked
No ur fucked

Hello- I’m trying to root a kindle fire with version 2.3 on it…I’ve gotten the rootkindlefire.apk to install using ES File manager, but when I run the BurritoRoot3 is gives me a message about running it from adb first…I tried running it with the suggested command from a terminal on my kubuntu machine, but it can’t find the BurritoRoot3.bin file it says is in /data/local/tmp/….I’m a bit stuck.

How to root Kindle Fire 2nd Gen 10.2.1??? Will the latest method 6.3.1 work? Help! I’m working with a mac.
Was trying to root Kindle Fire with 6.3.1 after following your video directions. The download and Kindle froze and now it seems to be bricked with just the Kindle Fire logo showing. My PC (running Windows XP) doesn’t see the Kindle as a device just the USB error. Any suggestions for fixing it?
I’m a complete rookie, so I am not sure if I can help, but I had a similar problem, although I am not quite sure what you are referring to with: “The download and Kindle….”. I had installed KFU on my computer, my KF was recognised by my computer (Vista), so I went to the next step of running option 2 in KFU (which also recognised my KF). KFU option 2 started, and went into a download – but for some reason the download connection was unsuccessful. Option 2 of KFU tried twenty times to start this download but then I got a message saying something like “oops something has gone wrong, try again/later”. After this my KF was stuck in the boot phase (Bricked) with just the Kindle Logo showing, and my computer (and KFU) no longer recognised my KF! After trying all kinds of things to get out of this and many hours past, I eventually de-installed KFU (with driver) and reinstalled it. I think this allowed my computer to recognise my KF once again, although KFU still did not! However I then decided to try Option 5 (FireFireFire) of KFU (although my KF still did not show up in KFU). Although Option 5 started, my KF was still not recognised by KFU, so I decided to switch my KF power off (with KFU option 5 running on my computer) and then switch my KF back on again. This worked! KFU now recognised my KF and finished the install of FireFireFire. I later ran Option 2 again, and this time was successful. Now everything works okay but I am at the next stage of trying to decide which version Jelly Bean Rom I should try to install – and if I should try this at all!
Hi. Retired old man here. Have had lots of fun rooting KF with mixed results. Love the apps out of google play store that I could not get before, but have hit a snag with some I REALLY would like to have. NPR News, Droidwall, Super SU, Root Checker. All have one thing in common. Unable to access root. KFU confirms root, superuser, firefirefire all up and running. Is there a problem with “permission” in a file I don’t know about. Thanks for listening. Gpa Sparky
have you got a root for kindle fire 2?
I tried rooting my kindle fire 6.3.1 got part way thru script stop running kindle froze restarted kindle yellow triangle came up tried recovery came back with triangle even tried rooting again computer showed kindle all drivers installed script just said rooting kindle has yellow triangle would appreciate some help on this.
Thanks
cannot install driver.. error 10. device cannot start?
and the device is stuck on kindle fire logo. Followed all directions to a t. I’ve rooted my evo 4g and it was wayyy more complicated than this so i’m not dumb.. Help Please!!!
windows does not recognize my kindle anymore. Kindle stuck on white/orange logo. won’t do shit but turn off and on. Please tell my I haven’t permanently bricked it I need it for school!
well thanks anyways guys. I feel your pain Moniz.. after getting frustrated and eating an extra xanax. I left it alone for a few days. came back. plugged in the brick, ran firefirefire to unbrick it, and kindlefireutility v0.9.6 instead of the rootkindlefirenew631 or whatever to root. running aokp 4.1.2. It runs great. I did have to do it all over for some reason, because I didn’t bother sleeping (Christmas Break) and I was up messing with it all night. I changed dpi to 320 correctly, didn’t seem to do anything except the screen was much more crisp. However; this might not be related, as I am a noob, At some point for some reason when I rebooted all of my icons were either massive or missing, so I wiped/flashed it again. Now the “kindle for android” app will not install correctly. error 24.. Are there pieces of it somewhere I somehow didn’t get rid of? and how would one go about doing that? Because everything else(about 30 apps) re-installed just fine.
Hey I tried to root a kindle fire HD FIRMWARE 8.14. Then system is blank and has not come back on no matter what I have tried.My Computer doesn’t see the kindle device perhaps because it has not powered on in about 6 weeks. Can anyone help me to fix it?
I tried rooting my kindle fire, when I ran the bat file it started and only went through 1st phase, then comp hung. Kindle will only show triangle (yellow) and will not go futher. Tried re-running rootkindle.bat but still will only go to same place it stopper before. Have I destroyed my kindle?
