Kindle hd device Id boo boo - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A lot of the apps I purchased from google were on my htc evo 4g from sprint. So in trying to put them on my kindle fire hd 7 they weren't compatible. Well I downloaded an Id spoofer app and spoofed my Id to a Samsung gal tab and my hd sits on kindle fire logo that looks like its loading but its not. I assume its in a boot loop. Any suggestions to how I come back from this or professional insight to what I have done. This topic exists but not for the kindle hd so thought I would ask.

I know aside from rooting my kindle hd I shouldn't have went any farther as the bootloader has yet to be unlocked. I just want my kindle fire hd back to loading again

Why are people trying to mod a device that still has a locked bootloader?

Where do I find local.prop I did a search with es file explorer and I can't turn that file up.
The only files I can find with .prop as the extension are build.prop and default.prop
EDIT: I rerooted using QEMU and its back to normal now.

"This app is compatible with your device" When browsing Play Store?

On all my other Android devices I can install apps from my laptop via the Play website. Can I not do that on my Fire HD even though it tells me I can, or am I missing something?
I am curious as well if there is a way to tweak the kfhd to download more apps from the playstore...like lie to it that ot is some other ics device

Ummmm. No, as far as I know. I don't see how or why this would work until the KF2 gets a real OS on it. Once it down, I do not see why it shouldn't. For now though, I don't know of any ways it's possible. Back to browsing on the device for you! [EDIT] I was wrong! The app is on my device. It was sitting in front of me for an hour or so when I turned it on to do stuff and found the app I pushed on it there! So it does work in theory, it may be slow for you, or some other issue, but it should work it seems!

Yes, this IS possible. I will look into it and post. It's a file you have to tweak, I did it before on tablets I just am completely blanking out since it's been a year or two. You will probably need something like RomToolbox. That's what I bought ages ago and use on every device I hack, just a personal preference but you will need a "build.prop editor".
Here use this app it will switch you device to make it look like a different device and allows you to download more apps.

I use market helper as well. Has limitations but until a full customised rom bypasses this issue it's not a bad 'get round'

[Q] Origional KF Internal storage says I have 60% free Line Bar says I have 0% free

This is starting to drive me nuts.. Starting today, I cant install any new Apps. I get the “Not enough Internal Storage” message..
I have done all the normal stuff.. Deleted all books, Doc’s, no music or videos on my KF and 90% of my freaking apps are on the Amazon Cloud and not my KF..
But under Device it says I have 60% Free Internal storage BUT the stupid Bar Graph says I have 0% free..
Its almost like there is some memory bug or something.. Why oh why Amazon cant fix their crap who knows.. But Amazon sure seems to spend a lot of time on updates to try and keep us from rooting our device.. pffffffff
Anyway my question is this..
Has anyone figured out a way to manually free up space and clean up old or not needed files on the KF???
My KF is I guess what you would call semi rooted.. Why I say this is a while back I had it fully rooted but then one of the updates took away root BUT I still have the GO Launcher working and can access the Android side and (Up until today) could even still access and get Apps from the Play store..
And I don’t think resetting to factory default is really a good option is it? In fact I was reading somewhere else where someone having the same issue as me, tried the Factory reset and it still did not fix the Internal memory Low problem..
I am really starting to hate the KF more and more
You are not rooted if you have no superuser. What version are you on now? 7.3.0?

Changing kindle fire HD back to stock

Hi everyone.
Had a bit of a nightmare week
My kindle fire HD I had since Xmas died, constantly resetting.
I got a replacement, rooted it set everything up only.to.find out the speakers were buggered.
Got another replacement!!
Problem I have is a I need to return both kindle fire HDS back to stock before I return them.
I do not know who to do this, thongs I have noticed.....
1. I tried to remove root and first thing I noticed is that the advert screen isn't coming on.
2. On the replacement I have a launcher and the vendor.apk in the app folder and showing on the app page. It won't let.me.delete them for love nor.money.
I need to restore these back to stock before I send them back. So any help will be appreciated!!

Use Kindle Fire First Aide to return to stock with no root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 You will need a fastboot cord or have KFFA boot you into fastboot.

[Q] Kindle Fire 11.3.1.0 Rooted?

Hi everyone. New kindle user here. First off I would like to ask if my kindle is fully rooted? In the current version info it says current version 11.3.1.0_user_310084920. I followed the Root Kindle Fire HD "7" 20013 (KFSOWI) 11.3.1.0 tutorial but the kindle never restarted on its own after the rooting process I had to manually turn it off then back on. The kindle is the new 2013 version with no camera and 16GB of memory from Best Buy.
Also, is there anyway I can install the google play market on this? Or, if possible, dualboot a non kindle brand Android OS on this?
Hi Dan. To check for root I would suggest getting the app Esfile explorer and go into the settings and turn "Root Explorer" on. Then see if you can cruise through the root folders /data or /system and actually see files in those folders. If you see files inside those folders you should have root. Also, be sure to install a super su or superuser app to keep apps from Willy nilly acquiring root privileges.
As of this moment I am unaware of anyone getting google play to work properly. Lots of peeps have it installed but working as its supposed to? Mine isn't. I can browse but there is no searching or downloading. As for a non kindle brand os all I can say is that patience is a virtue. The boatloader its still locked down and I'm not aware if anyone has figured out a work around yet. Till then we are all waiting on the ingenuity of the devs. I would not suggest trying anything until we hear that fer sure someone got it. I for one don't want a brick. Cheers.

Thanks, it appears that it is rooted Does google give you a option to download the apk for apps or games from the google play market from my pc's web browser so I can then transfer the files over usb?

Not that I have found as of yet. Many people have had good success with other app markets like 1mobile or aptoide. Give em a google. There are lots of the same apps and games on them as are on google play.

Ugh, i really hope we're going to be able to put roms on this this thing soon like Cyanogenmod. I got the Kindle Fire HD 7in 2013 as a gift and I'm just getting absolutely sick of Fire OS. ITS HORRIBLE OML. Everything i try do is just so unresponsive and clunky, and the apps for the kindle are quite buggy and will crash on its own. I WANT ANDROID, NOT THIS ;-;

Actually you can. Go http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ here. Copy and paste the address of the app you want to download (like com.example.example) in the bar. Hit generate download link and download the apk file. This only works on free apps and games.

Same here. I was hoping I would be able to install a linux based OS on this device (Gentoo, Arch, etc.) but it appears not yet. I am currently learning C I wonder if there is anyway I could get involved with the developers?
