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 article will be providing a thorough and comprehensive guide on how to jailbreak Kindle Fire and eventually get more out of the same device. However, keep in mind that we will be focusing on the firmware version 6.2.2, and this guide may not be compatible with other versions. Also have in mind that you must be able to comprehend and master every single step in this process before you can actually say you've rooted your device successfully.
First up, make sure you get these in hand: Kindle Fire device that runs with the 6.2.2 firmware, micro USB cable for PC connection, Kindle Fire Utility program for installation, and of course, a personal computer or laptop. It is preferable to use Windows 7 for added convenience. After securing them, you can proceed by installing the Kindle Fire Utility program.
You should be reminded that it is not possible to be able to successfully jailbreak Kindle Fire if you don't have all the essential drivers installed. Therefore, make sure that the instructions given in the Utility are followed step by step and the relevant drivers are all installed. After securing the installation, you can now double-click the run.bat file found in the folder in the Utility software. After clicking, just wait for a few seconds and soon after a notification message appears telling you the root are already enabled. Exit and then the device will automatically restart.
After the reboot, you must connect the device to a personal computer all over again and hit any key to proceed. There will be a "credits" message that will appear in the home screen and you just have to ignore it. After that, the Kindle Fire Utility is shown again and there will be several options at your disposal. In this case, you must choose number 6. Next choose 2 and click "enter". After doing so, the files will subsequently be automatically downloaded. The download duration roughly depends on the speed of your internet connection.
Lastly, there will be another prompt telling you that the root is finally enabled. Be mindful that you're not going to do anything at this point since you must wait until the final process is done. The entire rooting process may actually take a while but it is important for you not to disrupt or disconnect anything until a popup message appears, notifying you that the installation is finished. And when it's finished, the Kindle Fire restarts, and you can unplug it. So that's basically the entire jailbreak process. You're done!
