The newest Amazon’s Kindle fire HD is shipping with locked boot-loaders. It would not prevent the devices to start with a method to root which already exist and go.
This method is confirmed for Fire HD 7, but you have to go on all new versions that are based on ICS.
This exploit is actually based on that which was found on the Transformer Prime in ICS by sparkym3.
First you need to download SU:
- Download
After you download the SU file, the next step is to extract the contents and pull SU from the next patch /system/bin/ and SuperUser.apk from /system/app/ and put them in the new directory from where you will be working.
After this step, the next step is to execute the following commands:
adb shell
rm -r /data/local/tmp
ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp
exit
adb reboot
adb shell
echo ‘ro.kernel.qemu=1’ > /data/local.prop
exit
abd reboot
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
adb install Superuser.apk
After you have executed all this commands, normally you should have the root access.
If you have any difficulty in the process, feel free to contact the support thread on RootzWiki
