[Exclusive] How To Easily Root The Amazon Kindle, Regardless Of Its Software Version. Update: BurritoRoot may not work on version 6.0 firmware. If you're having trouble, update your firmware and try again. On the historic date of December 20th, 2011, Amazon pushed out software version 6.2.1 to its Kindle Fire. The update was fairly minor -- its main additions had to do with improved scrolling and WiFi passwords -- but it brought about one devastating change: it broke all previous methods of root.
Seeing the issue, our own Justin Case got right to work; and after a night's worth of coding, with a group of fellow devs helping him through the testing process (namely, Vashypooh, Trevor Eckhart, and IOMoster), he developed a new method to root the Kindle Fire -- a method that works not only on software 6.2.1, but on all currently known versions of the Fire's OS (future updates make break this). Better yet, it's not a hacky process at all; in fact, it's quite simple. As a prerequisite to rooting the Fire, you'll need to have ADB up and running on your PC.
Debug Bridge. Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile command line tool that lets you communicate with an emulator instance or connected Android-powered device.
It is a client-server program that includes three components: A client, which runs on your development machine. You can invoke a client from a shell by issuing an adb command. Other Android tools such as the ADT plugin and DDMS also create adb clients. A server, which runs as a background process on your development machine. You can find the adb tool in <sdk>/platform-tools/. When you start an adb client, the client first checks whether there is an adb server process already running. The server then sets up connections to all running emulator/device instances. Emulator 1, console: 5554 Emulator 1, adb: 5555 Emulator 2, console: 5556 Emulator 2, adb: 5557 and so on... As shown, the emulator instance connected to adb on port 5555 is the same as the instance whose console listens on port 5554. Enabling adb Debugging Syntax Commands Table 1.
