Can I Jailbreak Kindle Fire?,

By Sebastian Cork


Kindle Fire is one of those many tablet devices today that operates using Google's Android operating system. It may be distinct from other Android-based devices in so many ways, but it is still a device that can be improved and developed through rooting or jailbreak. The reason why some geeks and hackers choose to jailbreak Kindle Fire is to enable the same to be customized more than what is allowed by the engineers who designed them. Yes, there are downsides when it comes to hacking and the risks are always there. Nonetheless, if you're someone who really wants to make the most out of your tablet or e-reader, you should seriously consider rooting.

This article will focus on the jailbreak Kindle Fire using version 6.2.2. Put in mind that this is a basic but complete guide in order to correctly root the Google Android operating system running on the device. However, before proceeding, it is imperative from your side of things to carefully read each step in order to assure that the device will eventually operate normally after jailbreak Kindle Fire.

But before beginning the jailbreak, be sure to have the following things first: your Kindle Fire e-reader with 6.2.2, a micro USB cable compatible for PC connection, Kindle Fire Utility software, and a laptop or personal computer. Using Windows 7 on your computer is preferred and when you have them already, you can begin by installing 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.

Soon after the restart, there's a need to connect the Kindle device again to the computer and when you do, press any key in order to proceed. A message containing credits to the developers will appear shortly, but you can simply ignore that and let it finish. When the Utility software reappears, you can next select from a number option; choose number 6. Next, pick another number, this time, 2 and then press enter. The files essential to proceed will now be downloaded. However, there's no way of telling how long the download will be since it mainly depends on the internet speed you have.

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!
