Basic Points to Jailbreak Kindle Fire,

By Sebastian Cork


No matter how advanced and sophisticated a device is, hackers and independent developers always find a way to get around and eventually tweak them. That's because these people feel like every new gadget that's unveiled is somewhat limited in some manner by the designers and engineers who build them. Such is the case with the Kindle Fire. This new Amazon tablet device runs with the latest Google Android operating system. That is why it is also one of many devices that can be tweaked and rooted in order to produce more functionality, hence the term jailbreak Kindle Fire. The purpose mainly is to put added customization than what is originally allowed by Amazon. Thus, if you own one and want to keep up with the latest trends in apps, games, and customization, you might want to look at rooting and jailbreak your Fire.

This post will serve as a complete guide for rooting and being able to jailbreak the latest and first tablet computer from Amazon, the Kindle Fire. We will be specifically using the firmware version 6.2.2. Remember that this is the most comprehensive and friendliest guide you can find in order to secure that the Android-based system will be running smoothly after. But then again, make sure you're able to read every single instruction so as to make sure the rooting is done successfully.

Be sure you are able to obtain the following things: Kindle Fire tablet device running version 6.2.2 firmware, a micro USB cable for connecting to the PC, Kindle Fire Utility software, and a personal computer. It is recommended that you use a Windows-based operating system. Now the first thing to do is of course connect the Kindle Fire device to the computer. After which, you can then install the Kindle Fire Utility software.

Bear in mind as well that you cannot continue with the rooting process if you lack the essential drivers and installations required by the Kindle Fire Utility. Hence, be sure you're able to install and follow everything given in the utility instructions. If you've done so, you can double click the run.bat file found in the Utility software folder. As you do it, you then have to wait for a few seconds for the notification message to appear. And when it does, it will confirm that rooting is enabled. After this, you exit and the device will restart.

After the restart, you have to connect the device once again to the PC and press any key to commence. Messages will pop up, but you will simply ignore the same and wait for the Kindle Fire Utility to appear. And this happens all you have to do is pick 6 from a list of options. After which, pick 2 and hit enter. By doing so, the files will then be downloaded automatically. The speed of the download will determine how much time you have to wait, but it really depends on the speed of the internet you have.

Next, a prompt will inform you that the root is enabled. There is actually nothing to be done at this point since you just have to wait for impending progress. Bear in mind that the process of installation will commence and you should never interrupt the same unless a prompt that says "all done" appears. And so if the said prompt appears, the Kindle Fire will restart and you can now unplug it. And that's it, you jailbreak Kindle Fire is done!
