First off thank you for your hard work.I just got my kindle and am looking forward to a nice small ics tablet. Would you please point me in the best direction to get gaaps installed following your root method. And please expect a stocking stuffer once I am done with rooting. (On a side note if you type stuffer on your kindle it wants to change it to stiffer, made me laugh, thought id share)

There is so much missing information in this post. does anyone know of a better source that has more steps. because this cleary has risen lots of questions and is missing information, such as kindle driver downloads, kindle adb download.
There is no missing information at all in my post.

This is not a how to setup android debug bridge post, its how to use my app. Docs on adb itself explain how to set it up.

Hi all. I managed to get everything working (great work BTW). But I did run into one issue. At least I think it was. On the first page, the one step says to run this command:

adb install com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk

That gave me an error that the file did not exist. I noticed that the file in the zip is named Superuser.apk, so ran this instead:

adb install Superuser.apk

That did not give me any errors and the rest of the root process went fine. So is there a discrepency in the command listed or I am missing something? Thanks.

<edit> I see the original directions have been updated to reflect the correct command.

This post is set up just how it was meant to be. Honestly all you need to do is download the android sdk and let it populate its folders through an update. Then find one of the post explaining how to edit the sdk drivers to work for the kindle. you can follow steps 1 and 2 here to set up sdk and the drivers for windows.

Root isn't for everyone, and if you can't bother looking through other posts then maybe its not for you. (not trying to come off rude here, just wish people could do some research before saying someones work is flawed)

Thank you jcase(and everyone else involved) for this
kindle is rooted again with FFF and TWRP reinstalled.

I'm amazed it only took about two days to come up with a new way to root after the last update. I'm not sure what I did wrong but am experiencing some a problem and can't figure out where it is. Everything I did seemed to work right. All sucess and no errors rebooted I have super user but no Root. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance.....

Sorry i was out of line in my comments. I sure you guys no what its like to be frustrated. i am new to android although i am familiar with cmd prompts.

The issue that i am having is that i cannot get my computer to recognize my kindle i have gone through step by step in the video to the T. and went even further by turning off syncing services and all virus software. What could be my issue?

I am running windows 64bit through vm-fusion

thanks in advance and once again sorry for my earlier posts i will delete

I know its a driver issue.. just need help walking through it...

I added the code to the .ini and .inf files. Then it let me install drivers.

ADB still won't recognize device.. I've restarted the computer. I've fun cmd from the tools folder. this is really irritating.

hi there!

I don't know what to do, i get this error:

after the following command:

Everything is ok... dirivers are ok... but i have that 'su' stupid problem.

Thanks in advance!
lex, su is superuser. The zipped file you downloaded includes 2 files that are superuser and the burrittoroot apk. My KF already had superuser installed and may have skipped over these steps not sure. But one of the issues for noobs like me that I had to sort out was where should those 2 su files be unzipped to. So on my computer, I put them in the android sdk platform tools folder. Figured it made sense since that is where I go to start the ADB commands. Anyway, it worked and I think you need to be sure that both of those su files get placed there.

OK, this root worked great for me yesterday, and definitely had root access after a few reboots of my Kindle. Unrelated to your app, I tried to install the Android Market and stuff and ended up changing my permissions on the system/app directory and now my Kindle is bricked. I did not put fastboot onto it first so I'm effed. I'm trying to unbrick following a post on XDA here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356257 but I don't seem to have root access anymore through ADB. I type adb root and I get Permission Denied.

Is there anyway I can launch your app through ADB and try to reobtain root permissions?

Make sure su is in your current path and push su again, and set the permissions.
