Over on the XDA-Developers Forums, user jcase has released an update to BurritoRoot, the root access-enabling program for the Kindle Fire, and you’d be absolutely correct if your first thought was that this program enabled root access on Kindle Fires running the 6.2.2 firmware.
Jcase first released the BurritoRoot 2 information to the folks at Android Police, along with a walkthrough for the most important parts necessary to get everything going. First things first, though: you’ll need to know how to run commands from the Android Debug Bridge, or ADB, in order to get BurritoRoot to work.
When that’s done, just download the necessary files through the XDA-Developers Forum link above, and then run these commands on ADB:
adb push BurritoRoot2.bin /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/BurritoRoot2.bin
adb shell /data/local/BurritoRoot2.bin
adb root
adb shell id
<if uid = 0 continue, if not start over>
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb remount
adb install Superuser.apk (skip this step if its already installed)
After that, you should be golden! Do note, however, that doing this isn’t for the casual user, as you could end up locking up your tablet with a misstep, requiring you to look for an unbricking procedure if the worst case scenario happens. That said, we wish you the best if you try to use this.
