Manually Rooting the Kindle Fire 2 with a Mac

Or return it and buy a Nexus 7, which is $15 cheaper and can be unlocked by running "fastboot oem unlock".

Why?<p>The main reason I root my Androids is for TitaniumBackup and Nandroid.

I got a Kindle Fire HD. Very grateful for it!

Am I the only one, or the article is missing any advice (if not tutorials) on backing up, before trying this? common, you don't want to spend your christmas/newyear along a kindle you just ..err.. technically suicided?
