######Required Files

Open CMD and navigate to the KindleSuite folder
- Alternatively, in Windows, open the KindleSuite folder, hold the shift key and right-click the empty space of the folder. Then select open command prompt here
Connect your Kindle to your PC make sure ADB debugging is enabled
- In your Kindle's Device Settings
In the CMD window, type the following: adb devices and hit enter
If the CMD window returns a serial number below list of attached devices proceed to part 2, otherwise proceed to part 1(a)

#####Part One(a)

Download and install the Kindle ADB drivers here
Open the Windows Device Manager
With the Kindle plugged in look for 'kindle' in the device manager, and under that option, right-click adb driver and select "update Driver"
In the pop-up window, select "browse", then "pick from list"
In the list that populates, look for and re-install the ADB Composite Driver

#####Part Two

in CMD enter the following command:
adb shell grep incremental /system/build.prop
Look at the number to the right of the = This will be your FireOS version. Remember it or copy it somewhere easily accessible example:
ro.build.version.incremental=11.3.2.2_user_322095420
the part that says 11.3.2.2

#####Part Three

Power off your kindle and plug into PC with your fastboot cable
In CMD type the following:
fastboot -i 0x1949 devices
Similarly to part one, if fastboot devices lists a serial number, proceed to part 4
If fastboot devices does not list a serial number, repeat part 1(a) steps 2-5 then proceed to part 4

#####Part Four

  adb push .\resources\root\exploit /data/local/tmp
  adb push .\resources\root\su /data/local/tmp
  adb push .\resources\root\rootme.sh /data/local/tmp
  adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*
  adb shell /data/local/tmp/exploit -c "/data/local/tmp/rootme.sh"
The final command will execute the Root Exploit. It will attempt multiple exploits, so don't fret if any of them fail (all but one in our case). Be patient and once the script is completed it will tell you.

#####Part Six

verify your Kindle is back in fastboot mode by entering
fastboot -i 0x1949 devices
- If you get no serial number,unplug the Kindle, hold the power button until the screen powers off, then plug back into the fastboot cable
