Unlock your Kindle each time it reboots, and when you see the confirmation message on your computer, the tablet has been successfully rooted. The device will reboot and may run slowly during the rooting process, but keep your eye on the command prompt window for further instructions. On your Fire tablet, go to Settings > Device Options > Backup & restore, enable Backup & restore, and manually back up your data to have a fallback option in case your device gets bricked. Keep an eye on the Kindle's screen and choose 'Restore' when you get the option to. Check the device is unlocked, then press '1' (on your computer's keyboard) and Enter. This batch file contains the instructions needed to root your Kindle Fire HD. With the device detected successfully, type: RunMe and press Enter. Ideally you should see two entries for your Kindle in Device Manager.
#ROOT KINDLE FIRE HD 8 2016 DRIVERS#
If it isn't, there's likely to be a problem with your drivers - try uninstalling and reinstalling them, or visiting Device Manager in Control Panel and updating the Kindle drivers from there (right-click on the Kindle entry and choose 'Update Driver Software').

To check your Kindle Fire's operating system, swipe down from the top of the screen, tap Settings, tap Device Options, tap System Updates, and review the operating system number to the right of the 'Your device is running Fire OS' heading.

Kindle Fires running FireOS 5.3.1 and older can be rooted. You should see that an Android device has been detected (under 'List of devices attached'). 1 Make sure your Kindle Fire is rootable. Switch to the folder containing your root files (type: cd desktop\rooting, where 'rooting' is the name of the file you created earlier, then press Enter).
