hello,
is it possible to install android 4.1 on a kindle fire 2.
i tried the kfu utility, it says ADBnline, but boot status keeps unknown.
so i am not able to root it.
greetings,

There hasn't been a kindle fire utility made especially for the new kindle fire so that explains why you might be running into errors. Try using it again. Do you have the newest version.

Yes i tried the latest version. No luck
Take care!
I may take your Kindle Fire 2 into brick!
Kindle Fire 2nd gen is so different from 1st gen!

As the post said before DO NOT USE KINDLE FIRE UTILITY FOR KF2. IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!!!! You're lucky you didn't have the right drivers as they are different from the ones in the KFU, or you would have definitely bricked your device.
You can root the KF2, Its been possible since a week after it came out-

Do we have a wiki for the fire HD/fire2 yet? Just curious because I have had some free time lately.

Did you ever care to look trough the current forum posts? You are asking questions discussed here for hundreds times. Please, make a small effort to educate yourself before asking anything.

Hi Timurg,
Sorry, but i did look at the forums. The only thing i found was the KFU (for the kindle fire 1st gen) and a rooting tool for the Kindle Fire HD.
So i understand that the rooting tool for the Kindle HD is also usable for the Kinle 2nd gen?

Yes the root tool does work for KF2, most things that have worked for the HD will work for KF2. That said not everything that works for the HD will work for the KF2 as they do have slightly different software.
Not to be a **** but, the posts above are right everything you have asked about is in these forums, you just have to dig a little deeper.
This thread will help you with the Play store-

As for running custom roms, no, its close but not yet. The closest thing to android feel you're gonna get is using an alternate launcher-

Hello guys, i've just ordered a Fire 7" and i intend to use it mainly as an android tablet. So i noticed how much the original device is filled with stuff i won't be using, so i wanna get rid of all that.
How do i go on about rooting the device exactly? I'd really apreciate it if someone point me to the right way. I've tried looking it up but i get confused everytime because of all the information that's been posted here. Thanks in advance.

This may help you. If you want to get rid of the Fire OS you would need to root your fire then install flash fire and finally flash a custom rom like CM 12.1 or Slim ROM. BTW Root Junky has tons of videos on the Fire.

After viewing videos be sure to revisit the forums, especially the ROM OP and associated thread, for the most current recommendations. Details and options change over time. RootJunky's videos are truly excellent but reflect the best thinking at a specific point in time and should be used as a visual reference versus a step-by-step prescription followed to the letter.
