Kindle Fire Root! [New][6.2.1]

[atoscano10]

I am getting this error when I type adb root: “adbd cannot run as root in production builds." Any suggestions?

[3elgin3]

Um... After entering adb root, it says "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"

[neall007]

@3elgin3 I get the same error. Every figure out what to do?

[3elgin3]

@neall007 Nope. I can't figure it out. I followed it step by step.

[3elgin3]

How do I make a .android folder? It says I have to enter a file name

[zedomax]

@3elgin3 yes you can make it by typing "mkdir .android"

[mstree9985]

when i typed in "fastboot -i 0×1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img" it says error: invalid vendor id

[zedomax]

@mstree9985 change the x to x manually type it in, when you copy and paste, the x becomes something else.

[randylikescats]

I hope you fucking die.

[mstree9985]

@randylikescats Dude.....

[randylikescats]

@mstree9985 what?

[darknemisis0910]

[shawnL23ball3r]

not working i cant get the driver to update its saying the folder i specified doesnt contain a compatible software for your driver device,if folder contains a driver,make sure it is designed to work with a windows x64-based systems...what should i do ?

[Cpnpunisher]

@shawnL23ball3r same here :(

[bhawk333]

my kindle isnt showing up as a storage device after installing the drivers, how do i fix it?

[benhinkley]

And for all the Australian people who can't download ES explorer you can download it with Wifi to your kindle from 4shared.com too easy.

[benhinkley]

For all Window users to make a .android directory, go to Start> Run > CMD, and then type mkdir .android then press enter. once done refresh your folder and it should be there.

[atoscano10]

@benhinkley Thank you, thats what I was missing

[Mr123cano]

LOL fuck I just bricked my kindle!!!! $200 down the drain!!! Hey guys to help you out sometimes this guy types really fast and it kind of hard to see the actual letters in the video. Please make sure you see the website for the command prompt instructions. 

Peace to all

[SuperDarkenedAngel]

PLEASE HELP! My kindle is stuck on the caution screen. I am on a windows, and it wouldn't let me install drivers, So how do I change it back????????

[Minecraftsp13]

cant make a .android folder help

[CrookGoblin]

cmd also says c:\KindleFireRootNew not a recognize as an external command, so far this isn't working im running window 7

[CrookGoblin]

.android does not appaer and you can't create a ".android" folder because of the "." and there is no adb_usb.ini

[CrookGoblin]

I'ma get one for free and do this XD

[ZackFr0st11]

When i install the winusb it first of all does not have the .inf after it and then when i clicked on it and hit ok it says "The folder you specified doesnt contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems" Help

[PiroFyre]

mine keeps saying "failed to copy 'su' to '\system\xbin\su': read-only file system.

Anyone know the fix to this or a way around it?

[PiroFyre]

@PiroFyre NVM, I just used Doomlord's 4.0 and that works. Just follow steps 1-10 first. Then go download Doomlord's 4.0 and run it. A lot easier using Doomlord than going through all that process crap with the command line that might not even work. I know it didn't work for me.

[KeyboardingKevin]

invalid vendor id it says

[KeyboardingKevin]

AND NOW EVERYTIME I PLUG MY KINDLE INTO THE COMPUTER IT SAYS DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED

[aReason4music]

@KeyboardingKevin man I'm the same boat as you

[KeyboardingKevin]

I DID EVERYTHING. UP TO THE PART WHERE YOU ENTER fastboot -i 0×1949.... AND IT SAYS IM DOING IT WRONG AND MY KINDLE IS FROZEN ON THE KINDLEFIRE LOGO THING WHEN IT STARTS UP!! HOW DO I FIX THIS!!!!!! PLEASE HELP

[antetrice]

When i type adb root it says device not found

[o519inferno]

when i was rooting i lost my files and now it wont even get passed the logo any idea on what i should do?

[TommieXDee]

I can't make a folder called .android , does that matter? can i just make an "android" folder without the period?

[kitanablade3]

@TommieXDee I had the same problem and yes, it has to be .android. I use WinRAR to unzip my files, and when I hit Extract To I was able to make a new folder (anywhere) called .android that I moved into the user folder. Might try that with your unzipping program.

[kitanablade3]

Thanks so much for the tutorial, got it rooted easily! Maybe help for others, I had to unplug the USB and restart the Kindle a few times after I rooted it. Then it came on fine. I didn't do the Twrp Recovery steps as it just kept freezing for me.

[mixvids321]

@zedomax yeaa i have a dell computer...

[robertiscoolo]

im getting an invalid vendor id error on step 15... fix?

[xxrockin4lifexx]

[jessiefoster111]

[Dread7447]

[Tempest111]

@Dread7447 cmd, "mkdir .android"

[175tck]

fastboot -i 0×1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

on the cmd

[EnjoiAElectricTurtle]

@eltooing when you reintroduced it did you get a invalid vendor id error? i kept going and it said it was waiting for my device



[espivic]

I cant get the .android folder help !!

[eltooing]

@espivic take a .rar .zip file and extract it to yourusername/.android.. in that way you would have the folder and the files inside could be deleted, so you have the .android folder...

[EnjoiAElectricTurtle]

gahh man, right after step 13 you say to update your driver again and my driver for my kindle was already recognized but at THE END you say if its already recognized your good to go T.T now my kindle is stuck on the boot logo, please help me

[eltooing]

@EnjoiAElectricTurtle the same, please help!

[eltooing]

@EnjoiAElectricTurtle i fixed it, just re-introduced fastboot -i 0×1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

fastboot -i 0×1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot reboot

on the cmd hope it works for you

[MrSardonycus]

excellent guide. I feel comfortable trying this now. I have a Mac with Windows on it, but would prefer a Mac method. I also appreciate your work for the Epic Touch. Thanks for all your contibutions.

[EnjoiAElectricTurtle]

have re-installed the driver many times, i can see it in device manager as "android ADB interface" and i copied and pasted the "adb_usb.ini" and im still getting an error saying my device is not attached, please help

[zedomax]

@EnjoiAElectricTurtle Did you make sure to copy it in your user's .android folder?

[EnjoiAElectricTurtle]

@zedomax yes, i did everything you did

[1lcjones]

When rebooting after the rooting mine stuck like your did but will not come off the Kindle Fire screen. What can I do?

[henriqueribas]

What about the MAC OS Tutorial for Kindle Fire 6.2.1?

[zedomax]

@henriqueribas Uploading now, it's essentially same except you change adb to ./adb-mac and fastboot to ./adb-fastboot.

[henriqueribas]

@zedomax Thanks. i'll wait for the video... i' tried the old method but i think because i have the new version of firmware it did not work. Do you thing it's gonna be online today?

[henriqueribas]

@zedomax i got a problem... i'm in Brazil, and i'm not alowed to download anything from Amazon App Store, so, how can i install the ES File Explorer, or there is any alternative about this? HELP ME!!!

[henriqueribas]

@henriqueribas Help me!!!!

[espivic]

@henriqueribas go to 4shared.com look up ES file Explorer and download it there make sure that you have unknown sources checked before you try and install though

[321jurgen]

Very clear.

[metalmachine80]

Freakin awesome, now I gotta get a micro UBS cable and Im ready to root, woohoo ! Thanx Max

[markazali]

[riguy15621]

Hi i cant get the kindle to say i need to update drivers everytime i plug it in it updates drivers and ever time i try to update and do the thing you say it says the folder selected dosent contain a driver compatible with your device or with 32 bit windows
