Amazon Releases Kindle Fire Update, Ends Up Breaking RootAmazon has just rolled out an update for the Kindle Fire which may pose a problem for rooters. The update disables the SuperOneClick utility and breaks the root for the Kindle Fire simultaneously.
Amazon Kindle Fire update breaks root
Now if you've jumped to CM7 already then we suggest you avoid this update at all costs, as well as future updates that aren't rolled out by CyanogenMod. But if you're still sitting on the original Android 2.3 Gingerbread update that Amazon stuck on it, you could find your Kindle Fire updating the moment you're on WiFi.
While rooters may want to avoid the update, those who are not worried will find improvements like smoother scrolling, password protected Wi-Fi being enabled and the ability to remove recently used items from your home screen.
So you basically have two options. Take the update or hop on over to CyanogenMod 7, we don't think you can really go wrong with either.
