  • when I run ./adb-mac root all i get is error: device not found

  • @Ilovemymac1124 Try using the latest adb-mac from Android SDK.

  • Doesn't work on my mac(OS lion)...says device not detected. I've tried it a few times, can't get it to work

  • @mattar12 Try a different computer, it should at least detect it.

  • no such file or directory when i type

    cd Downloads/KindleFireRootLinux

  • @zbadr Where did you unzip the file to?

  • Some corrections to the above….

    1) When you connect the kindle to the computer do not hit disconnect just let it be connected.

    2) step 6 on Ubuntu too use :

    sudo mkdir ~/.android

    cp adb_usb.ini ~/.android

    Cheers!

  • It works with 6.2.1?
