Root [1st Gen] [ROOT][ONE-CLICK] How-To Get ADB running AND Root with SuperOneClick

maybe its just me but im not fully understanding what i need to do clearly to adb in order to root the kindle fire. Could anyone give a little more detailed and clear explanation? thank you

Here's the same process with pictures and more detailed steps:

How to root / jailbreak Kindle Fire using one click solution – SuperOneClick, also enable sideloading apps | Review Horizon

Note: DO NOT copy/paste the 0x1949 text from that webpage, it seems it pastes the X as a * or something. Just type it out.

I've followed this instructions a couple of times... on three different computer... two xp and one windows 7 but adb finds no devices...

any ideas?


C:\android\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached

Thanks

I was getting this too. I also tried manually typing in the code to the file. However, this did not work. Apparently, the .android folder was installed into the wrong user folder. I suspect this results from me meddling with the user folders a while back. I have several folders that are named JohnSmith and JohnSmith.003 etc.

So I just copied the .android folder into the correct one and ran the commands again.

Hi Guys/Girls,
I got the latest over the air update to my kindle fire.
It updated, i tried to re-root (using superoneclick) and nothing, it doesnt work.
I have 3 questions:
1)Has anyone managed to root it with this update
2)If not is there a way to restore to an earlier point in time (Before update).
3)Is there something that can block over the air updates till I approve them?

So I was messing around with different one clicks since I got ADB going on my kindle fire and I was able to Successfully use SuperOneClick 2.2 to root my kindle fire!

I am not sure why, but every time I try to use this, it stops responding.

I am not sure what this sdk you are speaking of is, but I checked the files you added and they already have the lines...

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

added to them.

Also that .android folder you spoke of has that other line you spoke of in it as well.

I am attempting to root my Kindle Fire (1st Gen.) so any help would be much appreciated.

The issue I'm having is after attempting to root, my kf auto installed its driver and now I cant get it to connect thru adb or even as mass storage. I cant even see my device under 'computer' when it was working fine just prior to the attempt. I have tried three different.dl's of the driver for kindle fire so I'm sufficiently confused at this point. Ive rooted and flashed plenty and never had this problem before now.
