Using the browser for prime videos is cumbersome compared with the app on the Kindle Fire. I know, I compared my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 side by side with the Kindle Fire. Also, the video streaming quality was much better on the Fire than on the browser.

After rooting your Fire, follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1349902
Don't forget this part: Before you install the Android Market apk you need to copy the apk file into /system/app and set the correct permissions after it is in /system/app. |

I only find android_winusb.inf, not android_winusb.ini. Is that a typo, BK?

I just can't get adb to see my Fire, grr
Ok, figured it out: When editing the adb_usb.ini file, DO NOT COPY AND PASTE. Something about the 'x' used is wrong -- I'm not sure what. Instead, manually type 0x1949, and save that. Additionally, android_winusb.inf IS the file, KB, -not- android_winusb.ini. Thanks for all your effort in making that page! Last edited by gweminence; 11-17-2011 at 08:34 PM. |

Mine only had two lines. Everything in the file originally, on one. I just put the cursor at the end and pressed enter, then typed the 0x949

I've been fighting with this all night and just with that one little tip about typing it out vs. cut-and-paste you helped me finally root my Fire. |

Exactly. You can root and unroot right from the device itself - no need to hook it up to the computer. Of course for this to work it has to be rooted in the first place. So OTA rootkeeper will not replace ADB rooting
