I recently rooted my new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 purchased a few weeks ago using Bin4ry Tool. The root worked fine. I was able to load up Google Play and install apps.
I am now having a problem where I cannot access "Music" or "Videos" from the main Kindle Dashboard. It simply states "Unable to launch video." or "Unable to launch music.". Is this a known issue or are there any additional steps I need to take to restore this functionality? During the root I had to wipe the device and I have purchased music and movies that I would like to restore from the cloud if possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matthew

Hi all,
I've rooted my Kindle Fire 7" HD but I'm unable to install any apps via the Google Play Store. SuperSU has been install successfully & I've also upgraded it to v1.3. Root Checker Basic confirms that I do indeed have root permissions. I followed the tutorials posted by @prokennexusa & the app loads up fine. But when I attempt to install anything, the Play store closes. When I attempt to reopen it, it will close straight away. I have to clear the app's data before I can load it up again.
I had done this previously on a different Kindle & all was fine so it's probably me missing a step. Anyone got any ideas on what that missing step might have been? I'm running v4.1.10 of the Play Store. Is this the latest?
Cheers for any tips you can give me,
Lee
Make sure you're using the right GAPPS for your OS. I recommend flashing Kinology ROM, as it includes GAPPS and SuperSU. It's just stock with extra features, so it works really well.

Reboot your kindle some times GPlay hasn't configed
Hi guys, first post and kindle / android virgin so bear with me.
Received a kindle fire HD 7 a few days ago and proceeded to root it. installed google play 4.1.10 and got this working with little to no problems. I have developed a problem with the screen where the left side is very dim so contacting amazon who will replace it. I want to restore to the factory stock image and unroot prior to returning this and I havent been able to find out how to do this (I have searched and searched). Can anyone point me in the direction of a tut to do this? Assuming I need a factory cable? all help appreciated.
many thanks
How did you root it?

If you dont have the second bootloader installed its easy to unroot. Go into your file explorer and goto system apps and delete vending.apk, googleserveciesframework.apk, googleloginservices.apk, superuser.apk, and any other google app you installed to system. Then you goto system/xbin and delete su and busybox. Then restart then factory reset should be back to stock unrooted.

I recently put together a post just for this reason. http://androidcowboy.com/2013/06/how-to-return-kindle-fire-hd-to-stock/
Okay, I'm rooted, have TWRP installed and I was able to flash CM 10.2 and Gapps successfully. But after initial setup etc, when I downloaded and installed the Kindle Reader app from Google Play, it will not startup. It crashes within a few seconds.
Is there a specific version of the app I should be using? My wife will not be a happy camper if she can't read on her tablet. Odds are, I will be buying her a new one if I can't fix this.
Thank you in advance for any help given.

Same problem happened to me mate. i found out that when you install Gapps, the kindle reader app, kindle photo app, and amazon appstore will not work, unfortunately. i solved the book problem by signing into my amazon account on my PC, buying the book there, then transferring it to my kindle. If you go to manage kindle, and go to "actions" on the book you buy, one of the options offers to download the book file to your PC, then transferring it to your kindle.
good luck

Have you tried updating to CM 11? Also go to settings, apps, all, scroll down to the Kindle App, clear cache and data and force stop it and then reopen it.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I restored my TWRP backup and went back to rooted stock. The Kindle reader app works and my wife has access to the apps she wants. She' s happy so that's good enough for me.

This entire forum is for the original Kindle Fire. Be sure to use the procedures in the Kindle Fire HD forum, not this one.

FireOS nor any of the custom ROMs support this natively. You'd need an app to pull this off which itself would be vulnerable to curcumvention on an unrooted device.
You can download applock or similar apps from play store to lock apps.
