The one thing keeping TetherGPS from working on the Kindle Fire is the missing development options in the settings menu, specifically the "Enable Mock Locations" option. You can however enable it manually.
UPDATED 9/9/2012
This post originally used Zergrush to root, but that no longer works with the latest updated software from Amazon. Check the development section to find the latest rooting information.
1. Root your Kindle Fire.
2. Obtain/install ADB, sqlite3, and the KF USB drivers. Make sure the KF shows up when you execute the command "adb devices" from a terminal.
3. Execute the following in a terminal window:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
copy settings.db settings.bak
sqlite3 settings.db "update secure set value=1 where name='mock_location';"
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
adb reboot
4. After the KF restarts you are set! Connect your KF to your phone's wifi, launch the TetherGPS server on your phone, and launch the TetherGPS client on your KF. Install Google Maps/Earth or any other GPS-consuming app and you should be good to go.
Alternative Method: Purchase Root Explorer from the Play Store on your rooted KF. Use Root Explorer and sqlite editor to open /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db and change 'mock_location' from '0' to '1'. Restart your KF.

Thanks goes to ros87 for posting this method for the Nook Touch here.
This looks like it would work. I think I'll try it after you make the video since I'm more of a video person.
Post updated with simpler instructions. I wrote a batch file and included the files necessary to complete this procedure.
Demo video is also posted!
This is now a very easy process, and does not require that your device remain rooted. Google Maps is super smooth on the KF!
Would it be possible to tether a Garmin GPS to the KFire?

This is awesome! Now if we can get the Bluetooth working on the KF then I can use my BT GPS. For now this will work!
Getting BT working would really be the icing on the cake, or perhaps the ice cream on my sandwich
For most people, you're going to have to tether to your phone to get internet access anyway, so using TetherGPS saves you from having a third device.
Target has the LG Optimus V for $50 right now. I believe it's a Fri/Sat sale only. It's a pre-paid phone for Virgin Mobile, but you don't need to activate it. You can root the device and install android-wifi-tether and TetherGPS, and use it as a GPS puck.
I've had the same "Mock" issue yesterday, today I've found your guide and it solved my problem immediately, many thanks!
I recorded two more demo videos today with the Kindle Fire running aviation mapping and navigation software (AviationMaps and Naviator).
Can you also record a how-to video?

I have ADB working fine, but when I run the batch file it just keeps saying " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

You need to put the platform-tools folder in your system's PATH variable, or you can drop the files from the zip into the platform-tools folder and run the batch file there.

I answered my own question lol Now I can ADB allover the place hehe Anyway, this works GREAT, thank you so much for this! It'll be nice having a 7 inch GPS on my travels across Nor*Cal for work (I work everything from Sonoma County and just north of Sacramento north to Oregon and Northeast to Nevada).
This is working great for me. Simple steps, and now my Kindle does the one thing that I wished that it would have done from the start by having GPS. Thank you, much!
Works good, thanks. Wants me to enable gps in settings starting navigation, but there is no gps in settings. It's cool though, still locates me within 10 meters.
Forgive me if I'm wrong but couldn't you edit the settings.db with root explorer right on the device?

If your KF is rooted, and you have root explorer and SQLite Editor installed, then you can do it right on the KF. I haven't tried it personally, but I don't see any reason why not.
Got the GPS link working! Thanks!
BTW What tethering program are you using? What phone is it being run on?
I have a Droid 3 and my KF isn't recognizing the tetherering. (Tried Barnacle and OpenGarden)

Hello,
This is a dead easy fix to get tethering working completely with android-wifi-tether (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/):
UPDATE
New development version has support for this rolled in, instructions are no longer necessary:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_2-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
Steps:
1. Open adb shell (start cmd.exe, run "adb shell")
2. Issue the following commands:
- "mkdir /sdcard/android.tether"
- "cat /etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_ap.bin > /sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin"
3. Download and install the android-wifi-tether application, start tethering.
Your log from android-wifi-tether should look like the attached image.
Happy configuration free tethering!
NOTE: This works because of the two separate firmwares that HTC has included in /etc/firmware. One is specific for AP-mode and must be more open to this kind of stuff. The original bug stemmed from the usual firmware dropping ARP requests pretty consistently, possibly as a powersaving measure.
The second firmware is loaded using the firmware_path option when loading the bcm4329.ko kernel module.
anyone else confirm this working please.
I confirm this working...
You will need to have root to run the app of course but 2 or 3 people have confirmed it on bug 362 already on the google project.
Not working for me
AWESOME!!!
actually i ever use wifi tether but this is pretty cool because it actually worked. i know on the heroC we had issues with wifi tether all of a sudden not wrking after 2.1. nice to see that its been fixed. good work spreading the word
ya. it will get SU permissions,
i can find the connection.
i connect to it. but no data transmitting.
would be cool if someone can confirm 4g is able to be tethered.

Not confirming but based on what I read harry_m stated the wifi tether app uses the current connection, so in theory if you switch between 3g and 4g the app will switch accordingly.
i can confirm
I originally flashed with toast's rom. Used the recovery .bat to install Flipz's stock root rom.
I then flashed toast's radio rom.
wifi tether did NOT work.
I then performed the above instructions, and viola, it works fine. (i am posting via wifi tether)
I want to thank everyone who is hard at work on these projects, you guys are awesome.

Check that the log screen looks exactly like mine does. Did you get any errors when you issued the adb commands?
Look on your sdcard for the android.tether folder and see if fw_bcm4329.bin file exists there.

Because I am weary of rooting my phone not being able to return it to stock, I am gonna try it with the unrevoked root first.

no errors in adb.

I meant the screen in android-wifi-tether, does it look like the screen cap I included? It should have a debug line about the loaded firmware on the first item.
- Didn't see the edit you made with that screen:
Have you done the OTA update? Could be the SD card bug possibly. The log screen shows it didn't load the external firmware.
"Unable to start teterhing try again"
I skimmed this thread, I am using toast's rom.
I have just applied the Unrevoked root. I cannot access the sdcard via adb shell. Any ideas?
When i send command
"cat /etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_ap.bin > /sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin"
it gives me error msg
"cannot creat /sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin: directory nonexistent"

Someone needs to port this for our LG Optimus One P500.
We all know that Adhoc doesn't work on Android. I've also seen a few thread recommending the use of alternative software on the PC. But one must understand that these software do not support all WiFi adapters and/or need specific OS in order to operate.
If one of our dev can port or make a fresh one, we could vote to make it a "Sticky".
I request you comment your opinion about this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download the "wpa_supplicant" from the link below and replace it with the one in your rom. It should work.

Connectify requires Win7, I'm running WinXP. Also, connectify does not support all adapters.
You can checkout the list of adapters which supports connectify:
http://support.connectify.me/home?page=2
Also, was referring to Ad-Hoc, not "Access Point".
Maybe this can help you as it is xp compatible.

Will definitely give it a try . Anyway, about the "G3 AdHoc Wifi Thread" by "jinxskore", it supports even old onboard laptop adapters which is why we definitely need this. You don't need to download any additional application/software....it will detect the AdHoc like an access point which is absolutely cool. Google could have added that with their updates but God knows why not.
I still think one of our dev should make one. I would if I could but I just started using android a month back and rooted yesterday.

Thanks a ton. Before I proceed, is it possible to just copy it through "Root Explorer" instead of flashing it? This is because I'm on stock 2.2.2 rooted and planning to stick with it for a while.
Also, is there a post dedicated to this particular "supplicant"? Would be really handy if there is one. If not, you could make a sticky
Okay, replaced the wpa_supplicant using "Root Explorer" and YES I can confirm it is working. Thanks a ton.

Here, I was referring to "PC-to-Phone" wireless connection which allows internet sharing from the PC to the Phone (not Phone-to-PC) without using any particular OS (eg. Win7) or PC Software (eg. Connectify).
Take a look at the link in the original thread and you'll get the idea of what the post is all about.

problem
so i am able to see the adhoc network i have at home, but now my issue is i am apparently unable to connect to said network. i click connect and it just dismisses the prompt, but with no change to my connection state. ive rebooted the phone many times, disabled data to ensure nothing is coming from 3g, and tried multiple times, so now im at a loss. im also unaware if this has affected my ability to connect to regular networks as i have none available to test right now. any help would be great tho, im still learning my way around adb but these are the commands i used.
adb remount
adb push system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
and i was instructed to use this as well but it came with an error
adb shell chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
so i tried again with that chown command after a restart and it went through, and now it still sees the adhoc network, but once i try to connect it just adds it to the bottom of the list saying out of range, and i try again with no results..

Google it my friend.
I have a Vista machine.
1) First of all I enabled sharing of LAN card
2) Wifi & LAN were not getting enabled at same time (LAN was given auto precedence), issue was resolved by disabling switching of LAN/WLAN in BIOS
3) Installed Connectify
4) configured it to share my LAN connection over WIFI
Simple!

i have attached the edify ready zip of wpa adhoc
and if u need to convert amend script to edify use the other attachment found via googling

Now whenever i make ad hoc from my lappy the option of 'share your internet connection' is not present at all!
My phone is a LG p500 rooted, android 2.3.3 original LG ROM, and my sdcard is partioned, I've not updated the kernel yet... I have used ES File Explorer since Root Explorer is now paid and I have no credit card.
I've tried a wpa_supplicant from another forum and now my android just keeps rebooting.
I set the airplane mode and could use ES File Explorer again to restore original file, but, anyway, my phone just works in 3G networks... whenever I turn on the wifi, the phone reboots....
What exactly is this wpa_supplicant, what it does? in linux terms?
Anyway, I'm gonna give a try in this one in this thread...
---------
Update:
Meanwhile, i found out why my original wpa_supplicant was not working... it seems it is not a file, as i was wondering, it is a program... and when i gave it permissions to override, i set wr-wr-wr... but as a program, it must have the EXECUTION permission: wrx-wrx-wrx ... now my wi-fi is working again... but, still, not detecting ad-hoc ...
anyway, i can try again with differente version i backed up my original, and now i know how to fix it...
in case of success, i post here!
---------
Update:
ad-hoc now working! \o/
there are many threads about this subject, so, to help others noobs like me, some notes:
1) root your phone
2) download ES File Explorer on market. it's a free (and very good) alternative to Root Explorer
3) its a good idea to turn off wifi now. better, set airplane mode.
4) in the configs of ES File Explorer, if your phone is rooted, there is an option to mount the /system directory with permissions to write/read and another option to see hidden files. check them on.
5) now, you should navigate to /system/bin/wpa_supplicant and save a copy of this file in a secure location.
6) back to system/bin/wpa_supplicant, press long and in its properties, you can change the permissions of the file to rwx-rwx-rwx
7) now you can copy the wpa_supplicant you found in this forum, to that location, and override the original (dont worry, if you have a backup, its reversible)
8) again, check the permissions of the new wpa_supplicant. it must be rwx-rwx-rwx too. (it's a program, the "x" is needed to execute)
9) that all. it now should work. ad-hoc networks are marked with a (*)... in my case, worked perfectly. My phone is a LG P500 android 2.3.3 original rom.
10) in case of any errors, just try another version of wpa_supplicant, there are some versions here. or, just restore your original wpa_supplicant. remember the permissions.
11) if you have the android sdk in your pc, you can run adb shell wpa_supplicant -v and find out your version... v5 or v6 ... in this forum there are modified wpa_supplicant in versions 5 and 6 ... use the correct according to your rom...

Decompile? Change extension to zip.
-- The noob says:
The g2x works best if you chant "humba lumba humba" while standing on one leg!
I do not know how to decompile apk's....
However, I know that wolfscript isn't the problem because I pulled the systemUI.apk and the settings.apk files from a previous nandroid I made before flashing wolf and tried to use the battery mod using the "mod existing files" option and I received the same "failed decompiling systemUI.apk
Do you really think that changing the extension to zip could help?
It can find APK's both from my phone and from existing files on my pc....in both instances it's giving me the failure to decompile error. GRRRR this is so aggravating all I want is ONE of the battery icon mods...I want the little droid symbol with the percentage number in the image lol.
**EDIT- Mansa I know you're pretty good with coding...My log shows this error --> 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
**EDIT AGAIN- Ok after googling the error I realized that it was due to not having Java installed on my pc. Installed latest working Java. Now I'm back the program telling me that it cannot find my systemui.apk. Here is what my log says-

# adb -s "037c700842a04557" kill-server
adb: not found

What does that mean?
Seems like adb is either not installed or not in the path
Exit the adb shell before issuing another adb command. Based on your log you were still in it. A simple control+c would do the trick.

Pull the apk to your pc. Then you can do whatever you want with it. That is where you can browse inside the apk by changing the extension to zip too. Been there, done that!

Well I'm not manually issuing any commands....I'm just selecting what setting to use via battery mod setup program. Its obvious I'm not knowledgeable enough about how to use adb in order to do this....Google here i come lol
I can't even get adb running on my PC ....i installed it using sdk. Adb.exe opens for a brief moment and then closes automatically..

adb is a command line program. Open a command prompt, cd to the folder and type adb to see the help.

I understand how it works now. I can get it working but how can I use it to make this stupid program find my necessary apk files? Heres a link to mod if you want read about it- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181766
like navigate using commands such as
C:/user
/my computer
/SD Card
/ABD.exe
that's just an example using those commands will do nothing

I just wanted to share this with any verizon unlimited users looking for a solution to wireless tethering with the V20. This needs root.
1.) Download modified HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk. This is from the LG G4 post http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/how-to-enable-native-hotspot-unlimited-t3166435
2.) Rename '/system/app/HotspotProvision/HotspotProvision.apk' to 'HotspotProvision.apk.bak' (I used root explorer)
3.) Rename '/system/app/HotspotProvision/oat/arm64/HotspotProvision.odex' to 'HotspotProvision.odex.bak'
4.) Copy the modified HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk and place it into /system/app/HotspotProvision/
5.) Check that the permissions on '/system/app/HotspotProvision/HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk' is 0644
6.) Reboot phone. Enjoy native hotspot
Wi-Fi tether router in the app store works perfect. I can't remember how much it is because I bought it a long time ago.
Your way is much better, free, and easy to do.

That darn rooting thing! Just giving it a little while longer before I go that route, letting things settle in now that the VZW variant has success. I've got this thread and file saved for that day tho! Thanks for the info.
Just wanted to share because I spent the day looking for a solution. I had been using foxfi on the note7, but foxfi wifi tethering doesn't work in the v20 nougat. I tried a bunch of alternative apps but none let me get past the subscription check. This mod has been working great, though the rooting processes is still pretty rough.

And to follow up, not sure if it's just me... but I also did not have the file listed in Step 3. I am able to start the hotspot but any time I try to go to Set Up Mobile Hotspot to change the SSID or password, it force closes. I miss my PDA Net days lol
PDAnet still works with the v20 but not via wifi. Works with usb cable which I have used and Bluetooth which I have not yet tried. Been using it for years.
NO ROOT NEEDED : )
That is true, but I can't very easily tether my phone to my cheapo smart-TV with a cable
For what it's worth, the deodexed 996 stock ROM :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/us996-100-stock-deodexd-rom-t3520131
has the hotspot built in, working flawless, with editing SSID possible just fine. I'm sure his other ROM's might also, but I'm on that one and everything worked right away. Was the first thing I tested as soon as I flashed it lol.

I ended up using the Stock 996 unmodded ROM, which has all the tweaks (RootSwitch) and stuff enabled out of the box, and the hotspot works perfectly on that one. Yes, it's not a "Verizon" ROM, but the only issue I've had at all, is that the My Verizon app doesn't work, nor the Visual Voice Mail. I do miss the functionality of both, but for me the hotspot is more important, and I can always check the others manually in a browser or dialing into the VM anyway.
This works fine on my rooted Verizon LG V20. I had the files listed, where they were supposed to be. I also used ES File Explorer to change the permissions to 0644. By default, this file is read-write-execute for everyone. 0644 is much more limited permissions - no one can execute, and only the owner can write to it. See the ES File Explorer link above from CharlzO_2000 that shows you how to set the permissions with ES File Explorer.
I tested the hotspot for a few minutes...worked fine. No carrier nag and good connection to it from an iPad. Thanks, OP, and thanks, CharlzO_2000 for the 0644 links.
Stumped...
So last night I was able to root my v20 (verizon) and it was quite hairy especially when it was vibrating like crazy.... So got over that hump and now I'm stumped at these hotspot activation steps. Could you guys help a brotha out? So renamed the files just fine, but did not understand the section about permissions. None of my root browsers were about to change permissions to 0644, but not sure if its needed. So when I try to fire up the hotspot from the system settings it automatically shuts off and says "activity does not exist on this device". What am I missing?

I use solid explorer you'll want to go into properties to change permissions.
I didn't like that ES File Explored made me install some shopping app before I could get to the hidden system files. Pretty crappy on their part...
Everything works exactly as the OP explained. If you're having trouble with the permissions in ES File Explorer, long press on the new apk file to select it, pick "more" in the bottom right, then select properties. You'll see permissions listed there and you need to pick "change" and change the boxes so that you get "rw- r- r-" (Owner = RW, Group = R, Global = R). Back out, reboot, and you'll be golden.

ES has gone downhill over the past year or two. I still have an older version backed up to avoid their bloat. The send over lan feature doesn't work with nougat though.
If you are fed up with ES, give FX explorer a try. I've found it to be a decent replacement without all the bloat.
Could this method cause the data connection to fail sporadically? While using the hotspot, my phone network stops working. It still shows 4G and it being functional, but the hotspot, my apps, nothing that uses data works. It lasts for a minute or two and then it works again. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue...
Verizon LGV20 with 1.2 restock kernel and WETA.
If anyone would like to suggest a different kernel or ROM, I'm open.

Hotspot crashing
Hello, I followed these steps and they worked to enable the wifi hotspot but Everytime I go to try to change the name and password the hotspot crashes.
Anyone have any idea if the hotspot name can be changed manually by editing the buidprop or something else?

I just came across this possible root method while searching for one on the Fire 8. It's dated for April 4 so it's recent. Though it's for 5.3.2.1, if it does work, maybe can be modified for 5.3.3.0?

How interesting. I wonder if it will work on the earlier firmware versions too like 5.3.1.0 and 5.3.1.1. That way, don't have to mess with Kingoroot and anything that was put in there that will help the Chinese cyber-attack capability..lol. I'm on 5.1.1, but I'm too lazy to wipe it and try it..maybe later. Unless someone else wants to give it a go?
As far as I know, no root exists for 5.3.3.0. Alexa is a whore.

I may give it a go. I don't stand to lose anything really. I'm working on a project at the moment regarding Wireless Display (Miracast) though and I don't want to lose any of that so I have to make a back up. No root is supposed to exist for 5.3.2.1 either

Note there have been reports 5.3.3.0 can be rolled back to 5.3.2.1 on the 5th gen Fire. Not sure if this also applies to 6th gen HD 8. Typically a failed/invalid rollback results in a non-recoverable brick; not something to mess around with lightly.

Don't get your hopes up. This is a generic tool that lacks favorable references (recent or otherwise) in trusted Android communities. Good luck.

I won't give up hope. I'm pretty convinced we'll eventually get root or the bootloader's unlocked. Something tells me Amazon's stock wasn't soaring because of these things or for that matter their so called FireOS. It's only a matter of time.
Just an observation when bricking my XT907 a few days ago (being flashed as we speak...drum roll) I noticed more than one recovery mode. Two for sure, maybe three. There is the generic black screen and white font...you can choose reboot, recovery, wipe partition and fastboot or what not. Well there's also an Android 'Droid Master Reset.' Would that reset to factory or to stock prior to Motorola customization? I've always done it through the first screen. I'm just wondering in case there might be something to exploit in those options. Does a real total Master Reset exist at all for these tablets? Prior to FireOS?

Much has happened over the past 12-15 months to bolster Android security some of which undoubtedly has made it to FireOS. Past techniques used to secure root will be far less effective moving forward.

Here's their site http://www.superoneclickdownload.com/
I've seen the method before in other forums ranging from a few months to a few years. I don't recall which ones or if they worked.
If anyone does try, I recommend following the steps here: http://www.pcworld.com/article/244303/how_to_root_your_kindle_fire.html At least the source is a little bit more 'legit' for lack of better terms.
Is it available for all firmwares??
I've been waiting on 5.3.2.1 for a root strategy on Kingroot and Kingoroot, but after about one year, They can't root my device.
And what is the advantage of using this method? Is it better than Kingroot?
Someone tried this method? It works? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Click to collapse
Didn't work for me but I may not have done it right.
The Steps Are As Follows:
"
Step 1: Turn on your Kindle Fire and tap the top bar, near the battery and Wi-Fi icons; press More... from the drop-down menu, then Device, and tap Allow Installation of Applications to On.
Step 2: Download the Android SDK from the Android Developer site. Get the version with an installer app (installer_r15-windows.exe).
Step 3: Download the Java Development Kit (version 7, at the time of this writing). Make sure to download the appropriate version of the Java Development Kit for your PC--I'm on a 32-bit Windows 7 PC, so I downloaded the Windows x86 version.
Step 4: Install the Java Development Kit. Make sure you do this before you install the Android SDK. All you need to do is to open the installer file you downloaded (mine was called jdk-7u1-windows-i586.exe) and click through the installer wizard.
Step 5: Install the Android SDK. Simply open installer_r15-windows.exe and follow the instructions. Once the Android SDK is finished installing, the SDK Manager app will automatically open with a list of software packages you can download. Go ahead and install all the prechecked packages, but make sure that the Google USB Driver package (listed under Extras) is checked. You'll need this file to let your PC communicate with the Kindle Fire. Wait for SDK Manager to download install and all the packages, and don't panic if it asks you for permission to kill a server or process. Just click OK until it's all done with the install process.
Step 6: Now that you have the SDK installed, you'll have to make two quick modifications to it before you can root the Kindle Fire. First, open up your User Account folder in Windows (C:\Users\(Your Account Name), find the new ".android" directory, and find a file called adb_usb.ini. Open it up in Notepad, add a new line at the bottom of the document, and type 0x1949. Make sure that string is on its own line in the document, save it, and close it. Next, go to wherever you installed the Android SDK itself (probably C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk), and navigate to the \extra\google\usb_driver\ directory. Find the file called android_winusb.inf and open it in Notepad. There, you'll want to take the following lines and paste them immediately underneath the [Google.NTx86] and [GoogleNTamd64] headings in the document:
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
Save the file and exit Notepad. If Notepad doesn't let you overwrite android_winusb.inf when you're saving it, save the edited version to your desktop, and then drag the edited version over to the usb_driver directory to replace the old version with your edited version. Windows may ask you for Administrator permission to replace android_winusb.inf--don't worry, it's fine.
Step 7: Plug your Kindle into your PC. You'll need a micro-USB cable to do this, which the Fire doesn't ship with, so you'll have to buy that cable if you don't already have one that you use with your phone or camera. Windows will probably automatically attempt to install a driver for it, fail, and then mount it as a normal storage device. That's fine, though we may have to change something there later.
Step 8: Now that your PC and Kindle are connected, we're going to open up the Android SDK to make sure it recognizes the Kindle. Open up Command Prompt in Windows (Start Menu, All Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt) and navigate to wherever you installed the Android SDK.
Don't remember your DOS commands? That's okay--just open up the Command Prompt and type cd followed by the file path to the platform-tools directory (for example: cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\). Once you're there, type adb kill-server, press Enter, type adb devices, and then press Enter again. You should see the Command Prompt return with "List of devices attached" and a string of numbers followed by "device"--that means the Android SDK recognizes the Kindle is attached, and you're ready to proceed to the next step.
However, if you don't have any devices listed, it probably means that Windows isn't using your Android SDK USB driver to communicate with your Kindle Fire. Go to Control Panel in Windows, open Device Manager, and scroll down the list of devices until you find your Kindle listed. Right-click the listing and select Update, then click Browse my computer for driver software, Browse, and navigate to the directory that holds the file you edited earlier called android_winusb.inf--probably C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver. Click Next; Windows should now switch over to the Android SDK USB driver for your Kindle. Go back to the Command Prompt; type adb kill-server, press Enter, then type adb devices, and press Enter again. You should see something show up under the list of attached devices.
Step 9: Now you're ready to root your Kindle. All you have to do is download SuperOneClick (and Microsoft's NET 2.0 Framework, if you don't already have it installed), install both apps, open up SuperOneClick, and click Root.
Let SuperOneClick do its thing--the entire process takes a few minutes--and when it's done, go back to the Command Prompt, type adb kill-server, and press Enter. Then, just to be sure, click on the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon in the Windows Notification Area (usually a picture of a plug with a green checkmark on it), eject the Kindle, and unplug it. Congratulations--you have root access!

So you mean to find a way to factory reset the kindle to before it had fire OS, when it still had an unmodified android os(or whatever they came with first)?
If so, that sounds like a possible exploit, though I think Amazon has probably made sure that it was impossible without a brick.
So this giant post is simply and advert for SuperOneClick which is an old rooting method that hasn't worked for years.
