Just out of curiousity has anyone heard of anyone else working on rooting the new kindle fire?
Havnt seen much of any activity on v. 10.1.3 work at all...
I know I can't do it myself so I'd like to know if anyone is even working on it yet xD
Cant wait to get a full port of any android operating system on this thing...
The new kindle fire wont even let you use a launcher so this book shelf thing is looking pretty lame...
Anyways back to the main subject at hand here;
I'm not a coder and I most liekly never will be, Although heres what I can offer; If anyone needs a tester just shoot me a message or post here!
I'm on system Version 10.1.3 by the way.
I am interested on this too. Thanks.

I am confused. What device are we talking about here?
Kindle fire HD 7" has already been rooted. If you are talking about the bootloader, it has not been cracked yet, so no custom roms.
If you are asking about the KF 2nd gen, then this is the wrong section.

This is the right forum....

The KF2 got merged with 7" KFHD a couple of days ago.

Yep posted a while ago, I'm pretty sure they merged them because most kfhd exploits work on kf2

k, didn't notice the merge. Saw the sticky this morning.
I just rooted my Kindle fire (non HD) using the HD method.
Worked perfect the first time.
Im not a coder or a developer but I got it to work for me
Hey guys,
Can we unlock the bootloader and also root the "new" non HD kindle fire? I hear it's pretty much like the original kindle fire except for a slight bump in processor speed and more memory.
Thanks.
Okay, I'm totally confused about my kindle and what guides I should be following. I mean, I see nearly a thread for every kindle but this one. I see a device section for just "Kindle Fire" then "Kindle Fire HD" 7"/8.9" and Kindle Fire 2. I have, from what's on the box, Kindle Fire HD. It's 7", but the "Kindle Fire HD 7"" shown on amazon's "what kindle do I have" page has a camera, and this one doesn't and I don't see any other Kindle Fire HD listed. Any help?
I have volume a power button on one side, a volume rocker on another side. No camera, and a software version of 11.3.0.3.
EDIT: UL'ed Home screen screenshot
EDIT: According to Amazon's adb set-up page it's a 3rd generation tablet.
Oh you have an hdx I think. There's a new forum for the kindle hdx, look for it on the main list of devices, I'd give you a link but I can't grab URLs for forums from within the xda app. I haven't seen any development yet for the new kindle, I wonder if binaries root method will still work or if they managed to patch that. Wouldn't try random rooting methods since the hdx is new and we don't know if there's a viable means to recover it after messing it up.

It's not an HDX but appears to be in the same generation.
I can't post the outside link to the amazon page because I'm new. But, go to amazon then append this after the .com, /dp/B00CU0NSCU
3rd gen should be hdx, also 11.x.x os is not an os used by any of the kfhd's or kf1/kf2. If you said 10.x.x I would say kindle fire 2.

Meh. So all 3rd gen kindle fires are considered HDX on XDA? I mean, that attempted "link" IT shows Mojito as the OS and is grouped with the HDXes but it just says HD on the page. It's an 8gb model and the HDXes come in 16, 32, and 64gb versions.
Yea I think amazon calls the, 4th, but we refer to them as third. Think it was mainly because of the processors used, 1st gen had omap, 2nd gen was omap but with m-shield on, now the new ones are snapdragons.

Might be the remake of the Kindle Fire HD 7 (not HDX). http://www.amazon.com/kindle-fire-hd-best-family-kids-tablet/dp/B00CU0NSCU The new one leaves out the features you mentioned but has 4.2 Jelly Bean, quad core etc.
Any of the newer generation have no exploits yet and it is strongly recommended not to even try any of them of you will kill that tablet.
I am confused
I have the $139 New Kindle Fire HD 7 and dont know what method to use to Root and Mod it.
The problem is the organization on the forum
KF and KF2 should be listed together, KFHD 7", 8.9" , 7" 2013, listed together,and the hdx's have there own group.
If its KFHD 7" w/o the camera its the 2013 version and do not use anything on this forum unless it specifically says 2013 model.
If I root and rom my Kindle Fire HD 7, will I still be able to get and read my kindle books that I have bought from amazon? I want to put cyanogenmod on it.
Never mind, I was able to log in to my Amazon account on my rooted original Kindle Fire running the Otterx with CM11 and get my Kindle ebooks to load and be able to read. Thanks
unfourtinaly EVERY SINGLE guide is for the kindle fire hd 8.9 intch i have a fastboot cable (that is utterly useless at theis point cuz no wau to do it) and some how my moms kindle fire hd did a factory reset and now the firmware is all ****ed up. i thught looking up "unbrick kindle fire hd 7" would turn up the results i need but all i get is for the 8.9 inch, and that ofc is NOT compatable with my ghettho 7 inch. ive done all the normal resaerh tricks like "kindle fire hd 7 unbrick -8.9" so is there even way to do it? i know there is but everything i find is eaither "404" or "sorry this page dose not exist ANYMORE" or its for 8.9 ONLY. this is so annoying NO SITE has a stright forward way to do what ppl can do to there 8.9 inch devices.
