My brother bought a kindle fire hd 7" from a guy on golsn. After getting home the guy reported it stolen and my brother's kindle won't allow him to do much. After contacting the company they told him he would have to file a police report and have proof of the purchase. Basically my brother is out of luck on that aspect... Does anyone know a work around for this or can at least point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Does it have a password lock if so there's not much you can do if it has a account on it just log it off and make your own Amazon account then it should work fine

No, it has no account currently and it will not allow him to sign up for an account or let me add my already currently working account. It just says error when we try.
Sounds like there's not much you can then

If you buy a factory cable, you might be able to boot the kindle into fastboot and factory reset it. I am not 100% sure about that and maybe someone else can confirm, but I think that is your best bet.
Yes, if I could get to fastboot I could do something. With his kindle fire. Anyone have any idea how to get kindle fire hd's into fastboot?

Just out of curiousity has anyone heard of anyone else working on rooting the new kindle fire?
Havnt seen much of any activity on v. 10.1.3 work at all...
I know I can't do it myself so I'd like to know if anyone is even working on it yet xD
Cant wait to get a full port of any android operating system on this thing...
The new kindle fire wont even let you use a launcher so this book shelf thing is looking pretty lame...
Anyways back to the main subject at hand here;
I'm not a coder and I most liekly never will be, Although heres what I can offer; If anyone needs a tester just shoot me a message or post here!
I'm on system Version 10.1.3 by the way.
I am interested on this too. Thanks.

I am confused. What device are we talking about here?
Kindle fire HD 7" has already been rooted. If you are talking about the bootloader, it has not been cracked yet, so no custom roms.
If you are asking about the KF 2nd gen, then this is the wrong section.

The KF2 got merged with 7" KFHD a couple of days ago.

Yep posted a while ago, I'm pretty sure they merged them because most kfhd exploits work on kf2

I just rooted my Kindle fire (non HD) using the HD method.
Worked perfect the first time.
Im not a coder or a developer but I got it to work for me
I have a blacklisted Kindle Fire HD. I was wondering if I change the mother board is that where the serial # is stored? If so then I should be able to register the Kindle assuming the new board has a good serial number right? Thanks for any help.

Personally I would save yourself some money and just install a second bootloader (twrp) and a custom rom like Hashcodes CM10.1. Amazon's blacklist has no effect on aosp or CM, and you can just run the Kindle app if you want the ebook reader interface back. The only thing you will be missing is the amazon video streaming which is a work-in-progress right now.

Kindle 4 as in the new e-reader? This is the Kindle Fire HD 7" forum. I don't know if it would work but it's worth a shot I suppose.
Has anyone considered or know if it is possible to build a rom for this based on the stock kindle fire hd? If so I would be interested in trying.

I read this and thought it was sort of a goofy question at first but now you've got me thinking...
What happens if you install a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 ROM on the Nook HD+? For that matter, has anyone tried a stock Kindle Fire HD 8.9 restore? I know there are boot loader differences but I'm thinking leave the Nook HD+ bootloader or (working) custom recovery intact. Just the ROM itself. They're both OMAP 4 based - granted the Kindle has cameras and the Nook has the micro SD slot but they're pretty close to the same hardware-wise.
I'm intrigued to think I might be able to have my Nook think it's actually a Kindle Fire HD 8.9...
Thoughts?
Browsing around on the Kindle 8.9 Dev forum found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41301028
It mentions there being some secret data related to Amazon registration, along with serial # of the device. Given that, its probably not nearly as simple as getting a stock KF 8.9 ROM running on the Nook. You'd likely need a backup of the partition that post is referencing too. Also, could be that the Nook is using that area for something.
Very complex mess ... If you did happen to own both devices I guess you might be able to make your Nook spoof being your Kindle. Otherwise your best case I can imagine is your Nook is spoofing being someone else's Kindle which Amazon & that other Kindle's actual owner might not appreciate...

Ive been searching for a way to download Kindle Fire specific apps from the Amazon store to my Nook HD plus running cyanogen. Ive been "purchasing" the free Amazon app of the day for weeks, but a lot of them will only run on the kindle fire. You can purchase the app, but you cant download the kindle specific app unless you have a kindle fire.
As an alternative, has anyone tested downloading a kindle fire specific app, and copying the files over to another android device? Would the app still run?
My friend gave me a Kindle HD in exchange for some work I did, but I can't do anything with it. I can't save to it or anything says its a demo. Please help out.
Hi everyone,
I'm a total n00b to these forums and I apologize in advance if I am breaking any rules or if I'm not following the proper protocol for this type of post.
I got an Amazon Fire HD 7 as a gift and I just put the latest version of KingRoot on it. I installed it and ran it ...and it says it was a success so I believe my device is rooted at this point.
My goal is to strip all the Amazon software from the device and install Google Play Store + Apps so that it becomes a pure Android-only device.
Any links or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

You want to be in the Fire HD 6 and 7 forum.. (BTW: You can get rid of some Amazon stuff and install Play Store but nothing can make a Fire HD pure Android .)
