How to Root Kindle Fire [Video Tutorial]

by Jeff Benjamin on November 16, 2011

Not a day after Kindle Fire was released to the public, the device is already rooted!

In this video tutorial, I show you how to root your Kindle Fire with an easy to follow guide.

How to Root Kindle Fire

Disclaimer: I accept absolute no responsibility for anything that happens to your device. You have been warned. If you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t do it. That being said, the video is super easy to follow for those comfortable with rooting their Kindle Fire.

Tools needed: USB Micro Cable, Kindle Fire, Windows, Android SDK Manager, Java SE Development Kit (JDK), adb_usb, SuperOneClick v 2.2

Step 1: On your Kindle Fire go to More > Settings > Device > and turn “Allow Installation of Applications” to On.

Step 2: Download and install the Android SDK Manager. It may require to to install the Java SE Development (JDK) if you don’t already have it. I recommend installing to C:\Android for convenience.

Step 3: Start Android SDK Manager.

Step 4: Uncheck Android 4.0 and check Android 2.33. Also ensure that Google USB Driver Package is checked. Click install packages. It will install the SDK first, and then you must click install again to install the Google USB Driver Package. Once complete close the Android SDK Manager.

Step 5: Navigate to C:\Android\extras\google\usb_driver and right click on android_winusb and select “open with”. Open it with Notepad.

Step 6: Find the following lines [Google.NETx86] and [Google.NTamd64] and place the following text directly under each line and save and close the file:

;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01

Step 7: In Windows Explorer go to %USERPROFILE% and select Organize > Folders and search options > View > select Show hidden files, folders, and drives > click Apply and OK.

Step 8: Download and extract this folder to your default user directory and drag the .android folder outside into your default %USERPROFILE% directory. Inside you will find adb_usb.inf. Open that file with Notepad and verify the value contained is: 0×1949.

Step 9: Plug in your Kindle Fire, and go to Device Manager. You will see Kindle Fire under “other devices”. Right click on Kindle fire, and select Update Driver Software > Browse my computer for driver software. Make sure “include subfolders” is checked, then click Browse and navigate to C:\Android\extras\google\ and click OK then Next. You may receive a warning that “Windows can’t verify the publisher of this driver software” but that’s okay. Double click “Install the driver software anyway”. Windows will install the driver, and you should receive a confirmation that it installed the “Android Composite ADB Interface”. You’ll then notice this interface under “Android Phone” in device manager. You’ve completed the driver installation, close out of device manager.

Step 10: Go to start and type CMD to open terminal. At the terminal type the following:

cd \
cd Android
cd platform-tools
adb kill-server
adb devices

This is assuming that you installed the Android SDK in the root directory of the drive as outlined in Step 1.

If successful you will get a message that looks like the following:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
5246002600000001 device

Close out of the command prompt.

Step 11: Download SuperOneClick v2.2.zip, extract it and open the SuperOneClick program. Again, make sure your Kindle Fire is plugged in using the USB Micro cable. It should acknowledge that it is hooked up to your computer. Click Root in the upper left hand corner of SuperOneClick and your Kindle Fire will be rooted!

Thanks to the folks over at XDA for figuring this out. Was this helpful for you? Let me know what you think in the comments below!

      This did not work for me. I got too step 10 and I could not enter the platform-tools directory from the command prompt. Everything up to there I did correctly. I tried to root anyways and all I got was a “killing server” message, and an error message asking if my platform was above 2.0? Too bad I really wanted AndroidMarket. Maybe someone soon will come up with a 1 click fix for rooting.
      Thanks for the effort.

      • http://www.youtube.com/myjailbreakmovies/ Jeff Benjamin

        Weird. Have you tried installing the SDK again? What version of Windows? You definitely need to get into the platform-tools dir. If you have an older SDK it’s just “tools” but if you have the latest it should be “platform-tools”.

        • jimi

          i got up to the part where i put the following in the cmd:

          * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
          * daemon started successfully *
          List of devices attached

          under list of devices attached, shows nothing. Please any suggestion? thanks.

    • In S.Korea

      very nice work! Thank you very much for your kind instruction.
      But, i have two questions.

      (1) Before i rooted my kindle, i could see the address bar (in Silk) fills with color to indicate the loading progress. But, after i rooted my kindle, i can’t see the status bar.
      Do you know how to fix it?

      (2) is it still possible to use (1) conversion to kindle files via @kindle.com and (2) cloud service, after the rooting?

      • http://www.youtube.com/myjailbreakmovies/ Jeff Benjamin

        Weird about the status bar. Did you try rebooting Kindle Fire again?

        As for question 2: The answer is yes and yes, but you can’t use Amazon VOD until you unroot.

        • In S.Korea

          oops. i made mistake. the status bar is ok.
          but, i mean i can’t see the address bar fills with color to indicate the loading progress.
          Do you know how i can see the loading progress in the address bar again?

    • Richard

      I followed the above recipe precisely.

      My result with `adb device`:

      adb server is out of date. killing…
      ADB server didn’t ACK
      * failed to start daemon *
      error:

      When I disconnect before attempting the`adb device`, I see this:

      adb server is out of date. killing…
      * daemon started successfully *
      List of devices attached

      (nothing listed)

      • Richard

        Ok, I updated the version 2.3.3 kit and those symptoms stopped. Obviously, it was silly to disconnect as the root client (SuperOneClick) needs to access the Kindle as a USB disk drive.

        Now, I consistently get:

        * daemon started successfully *
        List of devices attached

        (nothing listed)

        SuperOneClick is also spinning waiting for some resource on the Kindle (no idea what as this program has no debug facility that I can determine – tracing would be useful!!). If I get some time and I can find the source code, I’ll try to debug what SuperOneClick is doing.

        • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_FHLUYUI3BQ25BGS4H6BB7SYHR4 Nigel

          Were you able to figure anything out? So far when I am in super-one-click 2.2 it stops at the “Starting ADB server” with a “result” of daemon not running. starting it now on port 5

    • Csdann

      My anti-virus software deletes the “Super 1-Click” zip file as containing a malicious virus. Please explain. Thank you!

      • http://www.youtube.com/myjailbreakmovies/ Jeff Benjamin

        No idea. It’s not a virus.

        • Csdann

          I appreciate your quick response. I am trying to find more detail and I will let you know.

        • Csdann

          I downloaded the zip file again and before it was automatically deleted, I found the malicious file causing the concern to be: “AndroidOS_LOTOOR.E”. I am in over my head but further research suggest that, as expected, it is part of the rooting process. The major complaint is that it leaves behind a “hole” that may allow additional access for further exploit. Again, my understanding is slight and this may be explained but thought it prudent to encourage discussion. Thank you.

      what do i do if i have a mac?

        This page is only for Windows. If you google, you will be able to find a combined set of instructions for Linux and Mac.

        I found one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoXYmOjJWvE

        Be prepared to use the Unix command line.

    • Jimmyj765

      got to step 10 but didnt see the List of devices attached
      5246002600000001 device . had no devices there

      • Anonymous

        If it shows no devices try typing “0×1949″ manually, not copy/paste.

        This should be in the tutorial.

    • Dave Bazza

      Thanks for the tutorial Jeff, really handy!! I’m in the process of rooting my new kindle fire but via windows XP (running via bootcamp on my Mac). With regard to the .andorid folder (Step 7), this is located under Documents and settings which is fine as this is the XP equivalent location to the WIndows 7 version in your tutorial. The major difference is that it’s not hidden by default and it also alred contains another folder called “avd.”

      My question is do I place the modified adb_usb driver in the parent .andorid folder or the avd folder? Is there any harm in the process of testing either (in the parent folder) first? I don’t want to brick my kindle before I’ve started using it, and you can probably tell I’m not entirely familiar with technical things!!!

    • Jjjimbo

      I performed this process using Windows 7. I found the needed files in my Program Files (x86) folder.

    • Romantikhonov

      i got up to the part where i put the following in the cmd:
      * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
      * daemon started successfully *
      List of devices attached
      5246002600000001 device

      BUT under list of devices attached, shows nothing. And when i go to superoneclick it freezes up and shows “not responding”

      • Jose121489

        Same here

        • DisappointedKindleUser

          Same here :(

          • llcooljayce

            Try running the command prompt as the Administrator. Should show up.

            • Jorge Oyola

              and? did it work for you guys? Im the ADM and still Im having the same thing … comments?

            • Fatih

              it work with a commend which is explain http://www.androidcentral.com/
              but it stop at rooting at step7

      • ByrdDogX

        I am in the same boat as you. I have uninstalled everything and removed old drivers. Reinstalled and completely redid every step. I still have no device listed. I know there has been an update to the Kindle Fire OS since this was done. Wondering if this has something to do with it?

        • Gunderbum

          try doing a factory reset …mine was stuck at #7 after reset all good

      • Joseazacon

        ATTENTION: this was happening to me till i found the following url address and it told me what to do:

        http://www.androidcentral.com/how-enable-adb-your-kindle-fire-windows

        It worked for me. Copy the line you see in the box on the CMD window and do the CMD process again and VOULI. Really worked for me!

        • Diegodie_das

          i found my solution to this problem, inside the .android folder i pasted the .ini file and i then at STEP 10 apeared the freaking numbers under the list of devices attached

      • Fatih

        i also have same problem does anybody know to solve that issue?

    • Big D

      I got to the part where i root the kindle and freezes and shows ” not responding”. Any suggestions?

      • Sara

        Same here… I first went with Jeff’s download of SuperOneClick v2.2, then I tried the SuperOneClick v2.3.1 and it’s doing the same…
        Suggestions, anyone? Please… :-)

    • Stella Christmas

      The system cannot find the path specified under Step 10 … following cd Android
      Everything has been done as specified n the instructions. Any suggestions, please. Thank you

      • http://www.youtube.com/myjailbreakmovies/ Jeff Benjamin

        It could be a different directory if you did not install Android SDK in the same directory as I did. Check to see where you installed it.

        • Stella Christmas

          Jeff, thank you, this is the place where the Android installed: C:Program Files (x86)Android
          Based on this information how should I proceed with Step 10 using the Command Prompt?
          thank you Stella

    • Ts386341

      If you already downloaded ICS when you root would you just not unclick the android 4.0 box that he did in the beginning? Anyone?

        Same there. Should I disconnect it?

    • http://burningbird.net Shelley Powers

      Might want to warn folks that rooting the Kindle Fire disables VOD.

      Perhaps point folks to your nice demo on how to temporarily unroot the device http://www.kindlefirewire.com/2011/11/21/how-to-temporarily-unroot-kindle-fire/

      Hi Jeff, my system is Windows XP. The .android folder is not hidden by default and contains some files: avd folder and also 3 files with cfg exttension. When i download your folder in step 8, what should i do? I mean, i should copy the adb_usb modified file right in the .android folder or i have to do something else, like overwrite my .android default folder with your version (that has also a file called DS_STORE inside) instad of mine? If you will help me i’ll really appreciate that! First of all thanks for your tutorial and forgive me for my bad English that it isn’t my first language. :)

    • Bryaaaaan

      How long does it take for the root to complete? I can not disconnect it after the root has completed, so do I wait or restart it?

    • J. Yoon

      if you have a trouble at step 10, it means you made a mistake at step 8. You should place .android directory at the directory shown by %userprofile% command.

      • Anonymous

        Excuse me, can you answer to my question that is just few posts ago?

    • guest

      i got the same problem as the posting below. so i rename the adb_usb.inf to adb_usb.ini and it works (saw this on another site which i forgot the url)

    • Alx1836

      Same here too

    • Zouav

      I tried all the “fixes” other users posted (e.g. changing the .inf to .ini, etc). Still nothing :(

    • Alx1836

      Under “List of devices attached”, should those exact number appear: 5246002600000001 device??

      I’ve got another set of figures which is: 0896000600000001device

      If ever the number can vary, then the users with the “nothing’s appearing under the list of devices” problem, can try cutting the .android file downloaded and pasting it in the %userprofile% folder (replace the existing .android file)

      • pj

        alx you are right. you need to replace the existing android folder with the one that you downloaded.

    • Racerdog

      Hi I followed your root instruction and managed to get it rooted, but than the update hit, so I tried re rooting again and now its stuck on the rebooting orange circle. Any help please.

      List of devices attached

      Im until here.. no device shown. what did i do wrong?

    • llcooljayce

      The reason that some people don’t have the Kindle show up as a USB device in Step 10 is that you are not running the command prompt as the administrator. For some unknown reason, Microsoft thought it would be wise to not have command prompt run as administrator so some key abilities are not available.

      To solve this, click on the Windows button in the bottom left, type ‘command’ without the quotes, right click on ‘Command Prompt’ and choose Run as Administrator.

      Follow Jeff’s instructions above and you should have the Kindle show up as a USB device (assuming you followed his earlier instructions)

      Hope this saves you hours of frustration!

      • kindddle

        i did what you instructed still no device listed.. i followed jeff’s instructions step by step. still got the problem. please help.

      I just got my kindle today, the kindle updated on it’s own and then followed your video tutorial. It was a tiny bit fast but very easy to follow and I’m so glad that you will be helping us with many other things to come as well! Anyhow I did exactly everything you said and the root was successful or so the SuperOneClick said but then I looked at my kindle and it continued to have the usb screen and a circling orange sign on the botton it stayed for about 5-10mins so I ejected my kindle from my windows computer and then looked at my kindle and it looks the same! Can you please help me, I don’t think my kindle got rooted…?…

    • Dan Bigler

      I found this tutorial with help of a friend. This was by far one of the best video tutorial on how to root your Kindle Fire. Very well explained and easy to follow along with. The only comment I can make is on step 8. If you copy the command into the notepad instead of downloaded the file you provided, the text shows up incorrectly. It will copy as 0×1949, but should be 0×1949. It’s difficult to tell, but the text copied from your sit isn’t an actual lowercase “x”. It’s a slightly different character and will keep things from working.

    • Joey

      Make sure in post #8 if you are extracting the file that it goes into %USERNAME%.android and not the directory it creates for you. This tripped me up for a few seconds.

    • ByrdDogX

      I figured it out on my end.

      You must click the ‘Disconnect’ on the Kindle Fire before running the ADB commands. Once I did this – it worked!

    • Clay Hellman

      With regard to Step 8. The problem that some people seem to be having is that the file in the download is an .ini(which seems to be correct) whereas the tutorial says it is an .inf file(this is wrong). If you create an .ini file instead of an .inf it should work just fine.

      It would help a lot in these video tutorials if the very helpful man who has put them together would enable the display of file extensions in windows as getting such things wrong causes things not to work and sometimes to break.

      I load Android 4.0 instead of 2.3.3 does it make sense?

      I’m not a genius on rooting, but I found a comment on the youtube link that recommend to use this for 6.2.1 update, http://www.redmondpie.com/root-kindle-fire-6.2.1-using-burritoroot-how-to-tutorial/, but again since I’m not good a it didn’t get it right. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do?

      Kevin,

      You may want to take this down as this Root work around loophole was filled by the 6.2.1 Kindle Fire OS update, which started Dec 20th. Or at least make a note to it. I spent a lot of time stuck at the ‘Step #7′ in SuperOneClick. That said, there’s a work around by Android Police http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/12/23/exclusive-how-to-easily-root-the-amazon-kindle-regardless-of-its-software-version/

      Has anyone figured this new problem out?

      Cool. I have no idea what you’re talking about, however. Where would you suggest I take the Kindle Fire to have this done?

    • Benito Palafox

      My KF crashed because the file adb_usb.inf. which contains 0×1949 is incorrect. That X between 0 and 1949 is NOT a real X. Delete it and re-type the X. Its a character of some sort and its wrong. After re-typing the x, I restarted and it rppted.

      • 10ASee4Me

        It should have read “After re-typing the x, I restarted and it rooted.”

      Hi Jeff, I just got my Kindle Fire yesterday. Its really limiting so far and I want to root it to install some third party apps. I noticed in your vid, your Kindle’s firmware version was 6.1. My firmware version is 6.2.2. Can you help with any updated information to root the device with the updated firmware.

      Thanks in advance man.

    • Danielar210

      the link for SuperOneClick v2.2 doesnt work. can you PLEASE send me a working link?

    • Kindledude

      When you root, and you use the Launcher thing, does it save your previous Kindle settings and app data? I’m new to the world of rooting, and I want to root it. However, if it deletes passed levels or whatever on an app, I don’t think I’ll root. Can you please explain?

    • Jsrojas58

      having truoble with step 11 link not working

    • Kindledude

      I was wondering, does this technique work for system version 6.2.2? I’ve heard rumors that this version is designed to unroot your rooting.

    • Catking007

      How do i unroot it?

    • http://www.deliverdetroit.com James Lee

      I have tried this like 7,000 times.. Okay, not really that many. But, I cannot get past step 7. It keeps failing. I have also tried the Jcase solution, and have the same problem.

      Can I get a little help here?

    • Rriley_90

      Hi Jeff, I have followed your steps one by one through out the entire video and was successful until the superoneclick v2.2. It goes as far as 2 lines then (not responding) can you tell me whats the problem?
