Is it root for 13.2.1must be appeared before the one for 13.2.2?
Sorry for my poor English.

Most likely no, since the major differences between 1x.3.2.1 and 1x.3.2.2 are updates for Amazon's WhisperSync. There is no change to the recovery and kernel(s) so any root method for one should likely work on the other too.

The answer should be obvious... because Lab126 had months of progress and development to incorporate new features/capabilities, fix existing bugs, patch known rooting exploits, and reinforce system vulnerabilities in 1x.3.1.0. All these foolish and tiresome questions are not going to get root any faster folks...

Your factory reset should reset everything in the current update, so no, unfortunatly not. However, there might be a way to revert back. I have been playing about a lot with ghe updates but they don't work by manually downgrading. A possibility is that on the .bin file there is a build prop the build of which is always checked, so if we change the build props name then maybe itl update? Ill give it a try and tell you how things go. In a bit!

you're kidding, right?
I haven't bought it yet, but just want to know that if I buy a brand hew Thor from amazon, is the most current version able to be rooted or reverted and rooted?
Couldn't find a for sure answer and idk what version they are currently shipping with.
Thanks
Not yet. Stay tuned.

3.2.1 for the 32gb model bought in Germany. I ordered a gift version to possibly prevent personalization and updates.

I'm very curious about this as well. Picked up a HDX and it's running Fire OS 4.5.1. I tried one approach I found online but it was from Jan so it may not apply to Fire OS 4.5.1.
I have heard people ask Amazon to roll back their HDX to a V3.x version. Do you think this would allow me to root the HDX 7" 3rd gen? My goal is to install CyanogenMod or some other rom on my HDX.
I just bought 2x THOR devices from AMAZON (16Gb and 64GB) both had an very old build from last year. perfectly rootable.
What build version do you have? Mine has 4.5.1 which apparently is not rootable. What root method did you use (towelroot?)?

Just tried to get Amazon to roll Fire OS back to an older version and they told me 4.5.1 can not be rolled back. Guess we're stuck waiting for a new root method that works for this version :/

I am a Linux user and have a rooted Nexus 5 but this damned thing has me confused for some reason.
Just so I am clear. There is no way to sideload apk's without being rooted. Is that correct? All I really want to do is install Bubble so that I can connect to my media server. DLNA clients in the app store either don't work or won't play FLAC. Ugh!

You can still sideload APKs through ADB or a file manager. You just need to enable apps from unknown sources in the settings.

Maybe it's me (I said I was confused). How can I side load when the file system is mounted read only? Only root can remount. /data/app and /system/app are both locked. (Fire OS 4.5.2).
@eyeconic
In short:
You need no Root for installing a transfered .apk
Maybe you think, that you have to copy (adb push?) an installed App from Device1 to Device2?
You are transfering an .apk(!) to your KF. Not to System! Just copy to SD/Internal. Use a Filemanager, click the transfered .apk and Installer is starting doing his work, e.g. creating /data/app/FILE_DIRECTORY and much more. Do you need Root for this? No, just tick the right Option like said here before

I'm an idiot. Something about the Kindle caused temporary imbecility. Thanks and I am fully recovered.
Just as an FYI, I just bought a 64gb 4G LTE Fire HDX 7 from Amazon on 12/8/14 and it came with version 13.3.2.1. It has a build date of Feb 6, 2014. I've kept it in airplane mode so far until I can catch up reading and learn how to root it and see what direction I want to go with it.
I'm curious to see how the Fire OS works, but I don't want to risk it updating on me in the background.

You can easily root and disable over-the-air updates with the HDX Toolkit.

Yep, I read all that last night and seem to be setup!
@BlueLghtning I have a 7" HDX that is running Fire OS 4.5.2. Know of any technique to root this one? Towelroot didnt work nor did one other method I found online. I'm new to the HDX and wonder why my FireOS version (4.5.x) is so different from many users here (13.X)? Did they change their version numbers?

Hello everyone.
I just received my Kindle Fire HDX with Fire OS 13.3.2.0. I am not receiving any updates, and Amazon says I have to manually install Fire OS 13.3.2.5. However, I want to go directly to Fire OS 13.3.2.4 in order to root and install certain ROMs. Is it possible for me to jump from Fire OS 13.3.2.0 to Fire OS 13.3.2.4?
Thanks,
Drive
If you want ROMs, I would stay right where you're at. If you upgrade, you will lose the ability to use the upcoming bootloader signature verification bypass exploit (that's a mouthful, but if basically means that if you upgrade, then you won't be able to install custom ROMs).

It's patched somewhere between X.3.1.0 and X.3.2.4. Not quite sure where. The dev said he thinks he can release it by the new year.

if you do decide to manually update do each step date consecutively do not skip you will miss something along the way that is important and your device will not work right
I've recently switched the G3 but using it on straight talk so root actually helped me get rid of the "unknown sim" icon. It looks like theres no root for Lollipop yet so im wondering if it would be worth upgrading to lollipop now or waiting for OTA and hoping root is figured out by then

The OTA that's out is definitely not official. And yes, no root. Not sure if there ever WILL be a root for the official OTA once it comes out since it has to be done by an exploit, and LP has made exploits even harder to find.
I myself am staying on KK. I must have root for Titanium Backup. That's basically all I have root for and without it, I cannot restore my app settings, so until a root exploit is found for the official OTA (once it comes out), then I'll go to Lollipop possibly. But even with the current unofficial OTA, there are various issues with LP.
Might want to wait until 5.1 (if we ever get it for the G3) comes out as 5.0.1 still have a major memory leak in it.

Yup. Just saw that. That's good, but maybe not that good. How much you want to bet that exploit gets patched before the official OTA comes out?
Really wish they would have waited for the official OTA to come out before releasing the exploit.

I would wait... All I can say is that there will be a stock/rooted LP ROM very soon.
Xposed won't work with our phones on 5.0. I found that out the hard way. Saw the post in the developer's section that they're still trying to figure it out. Back to KK for me as there's functions of xposed that I need to have. A whole lot of tinkering today and I wound up right back where I was lol

No custom ROMs for 4th gen devices. You best option IMHO is to permit an upgrade to FireOS v5, reroot, eliminate bloat and enjoy the lollipop variant of FireOS which isn't half bad once Amazon's excesses are reined in.

Best guess is the device updated to 5.1.2.1 which is not rootable with Kingroot or any other 'mainstream' method. FireOS does not display the trailing digit but a reasonable guess can be made based on build date. Perhaps you and @chin_bone can compare notes. Unfortunately, knowing what version of FireOS you have won't immediately solve the rooting problem.
At present 5.1.3 and 5.1.4 (deployed to other Amazon devices) also can not be rooted w/Kingroot.
