kindel fire help please ?

downloaded the both files but seem to be having a senior moment ?? could you explain where I copy
both Superuser.apk and an su file to the platform tools folder under the directory ?


•Extract the contents of the file. You will now find a system folder, where you will then find Superuser.apk and an su file
•Copy both Superuser.apk and an su file to the platform tools folder under the directory
•Connect the Kindle Fire HD to the PC
•Launch Command Prompt and then navigate to platform-tools folder

am I right in thinking you have an installation disk that comes with the kindle ?
looking on utube on how to root it looks like you have an interface in the C drive ???

You need ADB (Android Debug Bridge) which is part of the SDK (Software Development Kit) from the link below setup on your computer to start with.

I think that you just extract the zip file to a location of your choice but not sure. Nothing is placed on The Kindle itself as the ADB commands will push the SuperUser apps to the kindle. On the How to root your kindle thread it says place the superuser and su in the 'platform-tools' folder where you placed the SDK.

This might be of more use:-

extract adt bundle, inside there is an sdk folder inside that you'll find a platform-tools folder, unzip the superuser apk and su file into it and the open cmd and follow the adb push instructions for the kindle
