Kindle Fire’s 6.2.1 update breaks root, disables SuperOneClick utility

Just if you thought it was safe to root your Kindle Fire with a single click, Amazon has clamped down on homebrewing enthusiasts. The corporate has begun pushing out an update for the $199 tablet that breaks the basis, disabling the SuperOneClick utility within the process. If you’ve rooted your tablet and are still running a version of the Amazon-flavored Gingerbread, you’re vulnerable to the update any time you’re connected to a WiFi network. However, if you’ve already made the leap to a different version of Android, which includes CM7, you are able to bypass this and any future software updates. There are some improvements with 6.2.1 though, as smoother scrolling, password protected WiFi use and the power to take away recently used items from the house screen carousel are many of the upgrades. If you are seeking to read up at the issue before taking action, roll up your sleeves and hit the links below.
