Assuming that your Kindle Fire has already been ROOTED using our easy tutorial. We can now begin with side loading the Android Marketplace on your Kindle Device. Yes your Kindle Fire needs to be rooted in order to install the marketplace. You need Root Access/Superuser permissions so you can copy the Vending.APK from your data/app directory into your /system/app. Yes I know it will install normally right off of your sd-card but you will receive a force close error every time you try to download an application from the market. If your device is not rooted yet, click here.
Essentials Required:
- Root Access on your Kindle First (Read More Information)
- Market.zip – Consists of GoogleFeedback.apk, Vending.apk & GoogleServicesFramework.apk (Download via Droidpirate.com)
- ES File Manager – Can be downloaded directly from the Amazon AppStore
Installation
Step 1. Connect your Kindle Fire via USB to your Computer
Step 3. Unzip the “Market.zip” file that you downloaded from above to your computer, transfer the (3) .APK files to the root of your sd-card.
Step 4. Open up ES File Manager application on your Kindle.
Now we need to change your settings in ES File Manager, so the application knows you have Root Access. Follow the screenshots and steps below to do so.
Step 5. Once all (3) files have been copied successfully to your “/system/app” directory you can now Shut Down your device.
Step 6. Power on your Kindle, once it has been fully booted up, open your app drawer and launch the Android Marketplace. Like shown below.
Step 7. You have successfully installed the Android Marketplace, you can now download applications right to your Kindle without any problems. Lots of users have been getting a Force Close error when downloading applications, this is because they did not install their Android Marketplace (vending.apk) into their “/system/app” directory.
This is the easiest Tutorial on how to Root your Amazon Kindle Fire on the internet. I was searching around on XDA-Developers and AndroidCommunity.com both sources had pretty much the same information just a lot more steps. Not the easiest tutorial for a new Android owner. I took bits an pieces of each to make it very simple as well as in depth screenshots explaining what to do. Lets Begin.
Essentials Needed:
Kindle Fire
USB Cable
Windows Based PC
ADB – More information can be found here on installing ADB on to your computer, Click here.
SuperOneClick 2.2

Step 1. Download and Install ADB onto your Windows Based Computer
Step 2. Open a command prompt on your Windows computer. To do this, press the Start button and type “CMD” into the search box. Or click Windows Start Choose “RUN” -> and type in “CMD” If you still cannot find it, go to All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
Step 3. In the command prompt window, type in the following command (it needs to be exact!)
echo 0×1949 >> “%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini
Press the Enter key. After you press Enter, you will not get any notification in command prompt, it will just take you to another line to enter another command, you can now Close out of Command Prompt. This will add the vendor ID to the “adb_usb.ini” file, check the screenshot below to make sure you are on the same page as us.
Step 4. Now on your Kindle Fire, you need to enable “Unknown Sources” in your Settings, Device menu. You can do this by following the screenshots shown below:
Step 5. Plug your Amazon Kindle Fire USB to your Computer. It may take a few minutes for the drivers to install. Once they are installed continue on to Step 6.
Step 6. Download SuperOneClick 2.2.zip if you did not already from the link above. Please note that this is a .ZIP file you will need to extract ALL of the contents to your computer. It should look exactly as shown in the screenshot below.
Step 7. You now need to enable USB Mass Storage on your Kindle so you can copy files to/from your computer. Follow the screenshots shown below.
Step 8. Back on the SuperRoot application that you opened earlier click on the “Root” button like shown in the screenshot below.
Required Essentials: (Make sure you download these to your computer first before proceeding).
- Motorola Droid Bionic Drivers (5.2.0) (Download via Droidpiratefiles.com).
- Motorola 1-Click Root Access (SuperUser) Tool (Created by psouza4).
Instructions:
Step 1. The driver file you downloaded earlier / above, please install the driver package on to your Windows based PC.
Step 2. Now unzip the (MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4.zip) file you also downloaded earlier / above. You want to unzip this file using (WinZIP, WinRAR or 7-Zip).
Step 3. On your device go to “Settings>Applications>Development” and be sure to check the box for “USB Debugging“.
Step 4. Plug your device into your computer and select “Charge Only” mode. (By mistake I had mine on Mass Storage Device, and the device was still rooted successfully).
Step 5. Open the MotorolaOneClickRoot folder that you unzipped earlier and run the “MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe“.
Step 6. Follow the instructions in the command window.
Step 7. Your phone will complete 3 steps, your device will also reboot (3) different times, Once it finishes you will be Rooted and you will now see a “SuperUser” application icon.
If you want to double check and make sure that Root access is now enabled on the device. You can download any Android application on the Market place that requires ROOT ACCESS. Such as (MetaMorph, Asto File Manager, Root Explorer). I’m also not 100% sure if the Root Checkers on the marketplace are compatible with the Droid Bionic.
Any other problems please a comment.
Step 1. Download DPRoot v1.2.2 from below.
LINK HAS BEEN UPDATED 03/01/2011 (To everyone that was having a problem the file is a .zip extension you must extract the file using Winzip, WinRAR or 7-Zip, the file you extract should be *DPRoot.apk*, just copy that file to the root of your SD-Card)
Step 2. Connect your LePanTC Tablet to your PC via USB
Step 3. Click on your notification icon on your Le Pan TC. Click on “USB Connected” and make sure you turn on USB Mass storage. Wait a few seconds for your PC to recognize your storage device. Copy the dproot.apk to the Root of your SD-Card.
Step 4. Unmount your SD-Card from your PC or just unplug the USB connected to the computer and your device.
Step 5. The Le Pan TC comes stock with a application called “ES File Explorer” (Thank God! or this would be a lot harder). Open that application and navigate to the root of your SD-Card if it does not take you there by default.
Step 6. In the ES File Explorer app click on the DPRoot application you placed on your SD-Card.
Next Click on “Install”
Your DPRoot application should now be installed you can either click on “Open” after it is done installing or navigate to your app drawer and select the DPRoot app.
Step 7. Now that you are in the DPRoot application just click on the button that says “Root” give it a few minutes to apply everything, next it should Reboot your device and you should now have Root access on your Le Pan TC.
Post a comment if you are having problems rooting your Le Pan TC we will be happy to assist.

This is not a *real* recovery. The way this recovery works is by hijacking portions of your boot process during system initialization and starting into recovery instead. So, if you hose your system *COMPLETELY* you will need to SBF. Specifically, if your logwrapper, logwrapper.bin, or hijack binary are missing from /system/bin, you will be screwed.
