Amazon Fire TV 2nd Gen 4K Software Rooted

Breaking news! The Amazon Fire TV 4k Second Gen that was recently released has been officially roote. Boom!  Xda delevopers have shared the exploit on their site. Here is what they have said about root:

NOTE: Root was just obtained a few days ago so… this procedure is not the most time efficient, but it is just a few simple steps that anyone with a technical background can follow. Linux experience will be beneficial. The usual disclaimers apply, which means this rooting procedure comes with some risks and the scripts involved haven’t been tested in all environments. Any harm that may come from rooting your device using this procedure is at your own risk and I assume no responsibility for any damage it may cause. I will do my best to help you get through it and recover if possible.
