Is it possible to use gingerbreak to root kindle fire 6.2.2?
NOTICE: Gingerbreak is an exploit that has been fixed in many of the latest Android versions and releases. If it does not work, it does not work. I can't "fix" the exploit, you will have to wait for a new exploit to come out, or root a different way!

so the answer is no - burritoroot3 is the current root method:

Is their any app that can directly root kindle fire?
Check out Vashypooh's Kindle Fire Utility here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
Plug in your Kindle via USB and run the option you want from the first menu that pops up. It doesn't get much easier than that.
Thx guys! I'm gonna root very soon now. KF utility works with 6.2.2, right?
KFU works well for 6.2.2 for windows
KindleWater for mac.

Rooting my kindle today. Thanks for all the help I received here at xda!

The question I have is quite simple. Does it matter what operating system you use to root the Kindle? I'm using 64bit Windows 7, and just wanted to make sure before attempting root. Thanks for any and all info!
i rooted using win 7 ultimate 64 and it worked fine so it shouldnt matter
Awesome thanks so much! Just wanted to get all my ducks in a row before attempting to brick my new Kindle lol.
Used Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with no problems.
Actually, I lied, I did have 1 problem which will really mess with you (and took me a while to work out how to resolve)! Make sure you don't have Droid Explorer installed.
I don't have any root management tools on my computer, wanting to do the same also on my Motorola Atrix but would freak if I bricked it haha.
Would Droid Explorer work after rooting the Kindle though?

It's possible that it would, but it seems to run adb as a service. You'd potentially have to modify the adb_usb.ini that Droid Explorer uses to include 0x1949. However, can't confirm either way, as I can't be bothered to install Droid Explorer again!
Uninstalling it might have been extreme, as it's possible I could have found the service and stopped/disabled it, but as I didn't use it, there was little point in keeping it there.
Ok, will let you know how it comes this weekend Mainly I can still go by the main Root article on here can't I? Even though the updates have come out, root file and process should still be the same?

Yep, the process hasn't changed despite KF updates. Pretty easy to do as long as follow the instructions to the letter.
Does anyone know if there is an updated process to rooting the Kindle Fire, or is it still the same process as before from November? I know that the Kindle has had an update or two since then, and just wanted to make sure the process was still the same before attempting root?
Nothing has changed... the same rooting methods work with all versions of KF up to 6.2 so far.
Last question before attempt. Is there anything I need to do to prepare for root on Kindle Fire such as backup or anything in case of brick? I would hate to perm brick my new Kindle and be stuck Only thing I can think of is just to copy all of the SDK files from Kindle root source.
Hello all, I just bought a kindle fire, my current version is 6.1, I heard that there is an update to 6.2.1 that is unrootable and that If I connect my kindle to wifi, it will get the update automatically, could someone guide me to know what should I do to root my kindle and don't get the update please?
Actually you answered your own questions
So, don't connect to wifi till a solution for rooting 6.2.1 comes up.
Since you still have 6.1 I would advice to follow this noob-proof guide and you will do just fine.
http://www.kindlefirewire.com/2011/11/16/how-to-root-kindle-fire-video-tutorial/
You can turn the wifi back on after you root it and freeze rename or delete OTAUpdateInstall (something like that)
If you really want to go for it go download the utility and it does erveything for you no adb commands your have cm7 up and running in no time if you get stuck pm me glad to be of assistance.

Setup adb on your computer and use kindle fire utility latest to send some zerglings to the device with the zergrush command. Easy
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
KF Utility is stuck at the <waiting for device> script
It also says
adb can not run as root in production builds.
the command prompt says <idme> invalid permissions.
and i notice in the video that it's supposed to reboot in fastboot and it doesn't do anything.
can anyone help? Nothing is working so far.
Dumb question, but are you rooted?

yeah, with burritoroot2
i think, well, i know i'm rooted, i just don't know if its with that or burritoroot3
I had the same problem. After the 6.2.2 update, I rerooted with burritoroot2. Apps requiring root work fine, but I was unable to use KFU 0.9.2 to install TWRP. So I basically followed the directions in this post and KFU was able to install TWRP.
Drivers
Make sure that your device manager has the fire listed as composite adb and not just adb. Sounds like you are having driver issues.

I figured it out. my ADB wasn't rooted on my computer itself. I must have messed up something while i was in the command prompt. My kindle was rooted, but my computer wasn't recognizing it as being so.
I now to CM7! and i love it!
Another dumb question: how do I know if I'm rooted
Is there a way to display the status (rooted or not)? Or do I always have to run the Kindle Fire Utility to check the status of my Kindle?
there are apps on the market like rootchecker

there is an app called root check
download, install and give it superuser permissions.
when you root it, it should stay rooted unless you tell it to not be rooted anymore.
or are you talking about the computer?
if you do the command prompt sequence for burritoRoot it should stay rooted.
Thanks.
I'm still getting used to the concept of rooting. I forget that it's more permanent that a network connection between the PC and Kindle Fire. I will download an app just to satisfy myself that things don't change in the way of root status, unless I change it.
Have a good weekend.
Thanks.
I had my kindle fire rooted when it updated to 6.2 using kindle fire utility 0.93 and boorritoroot3! All was well until the 6.3 update!
Now I still have the superuser and boorritoroot3 files but when it opens it doesnt show any triangle of the previous rooting!
If I use the kindle fire utility 0.94 or 0.95 and install the superuser permanetly again
will there be a problem? Will I be rooted?
I read that the utility has some issues with the superuser...will it destroy the superuser file that I already have or it'll be just fine?
would just reinstall twrp with newest kfu
if you have superuser allready there should be no problem
if you have any problems with kfu this post from ndpete should help:

Sorry for asking childish questions but...( I dont live in the us so I cannot afford to do anything stupid..that I'll not be able to undo)
I had already installed the drivers when I first rooted my kindle for the 6.2 ver. with the kindle fire utility v0.93.I suppose I dont have to do that again...?
I just have to plug it and run the "run.bat" file of the kindle fire utility v.0.95, press 2 (install superuser permanently) and wait for it to be rooted, and I''l be ok?
should be as you say - nevertheless it may be possible that you have to reinstall the drivers during the process - take care of the "known tricks" in the op of kfu
