How To: Root Amazon Kindle Fire Using SuperOneClick
Although the Amazon Kindle Fire is running Android underneath it’s custom UI rumors were that it will be locked down somewhat like iOS. We can happily put that rumor to rest now as the developers over at XDA have managed to root the device. Full guide after the break.

Before starting out we must warn you that rooting your device may void your warranty and although the procedure is pretty safe we would recommend you continue at your own risk.

Before we get started on the actual rooting we need to first enable ADB Access to your Amazon Kindle Fire, to do that just follow the steps below:

Step 1. Download the Android SDK from here.

Step 2. Navigate to %USERPROFILE%\.android and edit the adb_usb.ini file, all you have to do is add 0×1949 at the end and save it.

Step 3. Now open the Android SDK folder and find the folder google-usb_driver which will have a file called android_winusb.inf. Open it and add the following lines under the [Google.NETx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections.
```
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
```
Now moving onto the main rooting procedure:

Step 1. Connect your Kindle Fire to your PC if you haven’t already.

Step 2. Open device manager, navigate to other devices and when you see a device called “Kindle” there select the previously edited adb_usb.ini file.

Step 3. Now we have to allow Unknown Sources for our Kindle Fire, to do tap the upper bar on your Kindle Fire and select choose more. Then click on Device and enable it.

Step 4. Download the SuperOneClick application from this thread.

Step 5. Open SuperOneClick and click the Root button as show below.

And that’s it folks, if you have any problems or questions feel free to ask us in the comments below.

Kindle Fire for £99 on Amazon UK for Black Friday

We covered the Black Friday deals for Apple products in the US and Australia. And while UK isn’t traditionally a place where Black Friday is celebrated, some international retailers are now catching on the trend and have started offering some great deals. One such retailer is Amazon. How does Amazon let the Brits enjoy Black Friday? By discounting one of their own products of course.

For Black Friday Amazon has discounted the Kindle Fire. The 7-inch tablet with 8GB internal memory normally retails for £129 but for today Amazon has slashed £30 of its price which means the tablet can be yours for an impressive £99. Even at £129 the Kindle Fire is a steal but with this price it’s almost a no brainer for anyone looking to buy their tech-geek friends or spouses a great gift. Do note that this is the ad-supported version of Kindle Fire.

Also included in the deal for UK customers is a months free trial of the LOVEFiLM streaming service. Also included is a months free trial of Amazon Prime through which Kindle device owners can choose from more than 200,000 books to borrow for free with no due dates, including current and former top sellers in the Amazon.co.uk Kindle Store. For more information head over to the Kindle Fire product page at Amazon UK.

How To: Install Android Market On Amazon Kindle Fire
Amazon recently released their budget focused Android tablet priced at just $200 which tech analysts everywhere are expecting to be a huge success. Sure it’s no iPad killer but for the price it’s got no competitors.

Currently you are only able to use the Amazon app store but worry not developers have already found a way to use the Android Market on the Kindle Fire. Follow the guide below for the whole process but before we begin we must warn you that this whole process is very complex and certainly not for a person who doesn’t know what he’s doing, this process also requires you to Root your Kindle Fire (full guide here) which will possibly void your warranty so continue at your own risk.

Before we get started you need to downloading the following files:
1. GoogleServicesFramework.
2. Vending
3. Root Explorer App
4. Go Launcher EX or any third party launcher.
Now the first thing you need to make sure is that you have Installation from Unknown Sources enabled which we presume you do if you followed our rooting guide but if you didn’t all you have to do is go to your Kindle Fire’s Settings and then enable the option in Devices.

Now onto the main procedure itself.

Step 1. Transfer the two applications (.apks) to your Kindle Fire, make sure to remember where you placed them.

Step 2. Start up Root Explorer and navigate to the applications you just installed.

Step 3. First install GoogleServicesFramework.

Step 4. After that’s done move the Vending app by long pressing it.

Step 5. Move to Settings, then App.

Step 6. Change RO to RW.

Step 7. Place the Vending app you selected here.

Step 8. Now long press on Vending again and select change permission, change them to RW-R-R so it’s the same as the other apps in the folder.

Step 9. Reboot your Kindle Fire.

Step 10. After your Kindle Fire has rebooted we need to install the launcher, so start root explorer once again.

Step 11. Choose Go Launcher EX or any other launcher you chose to download and install it.

And that’s it guys! You now have a working Android Market on your Amazon Kindle Fire. If you have any questions or problems feel free to ask us in the comments below.
