Hey Guys,
i just got a a Kindle Fire HD 7 2013 and was looking around here for roms etc.
I allready found the root thread thats nice. But as I see nobody is working on this device? I am now sure i ready thw whole Forum and didnt found any interessting thing about it. There was one post a few time ago that someone (i dont find the thread) said that Hashcode is working on this device is that truth? Someone has may some infos would be nice. I really hate the FireOS and it would be cool to see may a CM for this.
I am actuelly thinking about to send it back because i dont want this FireOS with all it stuff i dont need and this special offers. If nobody is working on it i going to send in and get my money back (i got it for 70€ that why i "insta" shop it and didnt checked forum before).
One thing more it is really confusing with all this post etc. its hard to see if the post is for the Kindel Fire HD 2012 or 2013 any idea how i can better find posts for the 2013 modell? Most threads are named "Kindel Fire HD 7".
To the end sry for my bad english hope you can understand me
Greetings Abgeloust
Hey!
What we need is time.. actually there are People working on this device. No CM for now, but the plan is to get Google Play fully working (which is already on a good way) and build a rom that is AOSPish-looking.
Someday there will be a CM for this device.. its too low on price to stay unattended.
Actual Development is ongoing in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544736
Have a look at the last few sites to have an idea whats going on.

Hello! I know this is not the appropriate forum to place this question but this is the closest one I found where I thought I could get some answers.
I have a Motorola Fire XT530. I have been seraching this forum to find ways to ROOT it in order to install Google Talk with Voice & Video Chat. Can anyone help me with this please?
Is the XT720 similar to XT530? If so, can we use the same methods to ROOT? Please guide my how. This is my 1st Motorola Android Phone and I need any help you can give me.
Wow. Get yourself a iPhone and sell your computer.

No need to be an ass.
There's a One click root for Motorola 2.3.4 Gingerbread devices, if that doesn't work you might have to wait to for a developer to start working on the phone as it was just released like a month ago. Still, most developers work on high end phones and the Fire XT is a low end Android phone, you might be out of luck. Hope something works out for you.

Thanks! I appreciate your help. I will give this a shot and keep this forum posted. A lot of folks in India have bought this phone and are looking for a solution to rooting.
Please don't post in the wrong section, this should go into Q&A if it even belongs here
Closed. Wrong device & wrong forum. Try Android Dev & Hacking general.
So is it to my understanding that at this time, 10.2.4 KF2 people are unable to put Jelly Bean or any other regular android OS on the KF2?
I have been able to root mine, but I cannot put FireFireFire or TWRP and proceed following the intructions on the KF1 jelly bean thread.
So, anyone do this sort of thing yet, or do I need to wait until someone figures something out?

As far as I understand it, that's pretty much it. I cannot post on dev forums so I'll spam. I had an account a year ago but hadn't been to the site for a while.
Anyways, from what I know, and I could be entirely wrong, the way the KF2 is partitioned makes getting a Recovery on it difficult. Or, that may have been for the KFHD, which, is rooted. Until I post on the dev forums I won't know for sure, but I can't actually see any real devs doing work on the KF2. If there aren't any I'll try and make a dev team myself to get some work done. I would have the team built and meeting this weekend, and from there I would ask them what they would say an ETA on a fully ROMd KF2 would be. Hopefully someone beats me to it though!

That would be absolutely amazing! I really am looking foward to having just regular android OS on my kindle instead of the Amazon stuff. Im sure a bunch of people got them for xmas and are probably thinking the same
I'd love to run Jelly Bean on my Kindle to be honest, that Amazon fork of Android is absolutely horrible.
Okay, I did manage to brick my Kindle because I used a KF1 guide by accident, and I messed up the partitioning so now it won't boot, but I have a factory cable coming in the mail.

Agreed! I won mine at a raffle at work. I went to XDA as usual for hacking but realized that, not only was the kindle underdeveloped, but there wasn't any devs working on it (from what I could see). I then realized that I never really give back to XDA. So I take my time now to help on forums how I can. I couldn't do much of the dev work, but I have the devices, money, and the time to dedicated to the forums, and I know three people that can develop. One agreed to look at the kindle and android but hasn't developed for it yet. The prominent developer I have in mind I plan to meet and talk with this weekend and see how he feels about joining the project. Either way I should have more info this weekend to post!

I remember seeing you on another thread! Yeah, I can't understand how they came up with the OS design. It's ugly and awful in every way. What cracks me up is the "silk" browser and how un-silky it is. One of the most lag filled browsers I've seen and chrome has been SOOO much smoother!
As a side note. My philosophy for ROMs has always been simplicity and ability to change what you want. Granted, I won't be writing the OS but I hope to incorporate that into whatever we make.
Hi Forum
I`m just new to the forum, and have been looking at ways to root the AMAZON Kindle fire HD, and to be perfectly honest with all forum members i just dont have a clue on how i can Root it myself. I live in the Glasgow. Scotland.
Could anyone direct me, or know of anyone who could do this for me, as i dont think i have the confidence to go about this myself without bricking it?? I know it may be simple for most of you computer wizards out there, but nightmare for me. I got this 7" Fire HD for my good ladies xmas, and it was not my first choice Tablet, (so i`m stuck with it)
I would like to use MY Tablet for Google apps and ALL things Android without Amazon Using me as a cash cow. Dont get me wrong, Amazon will be okay for some item that i may want, but i dont want to be controlled by them.
If anyone can assist me it would be very much appreciated
Cheers

Hey man well welcome to our community! This forum is full of information on all different types of devices, including the kindle fire HD 7" model. My suggestion to you is do a little more research on this forum. A lot of people on here will just tell you to do the reasearch before posting questions like this because we have all done the same and it is all on this forum. Don't take it the wrong way, it's just are way of saying you might want a little more knowledge on what exactly rooting a kindle means and what comes with it. I can point you in a few directions; Here's some links to look into:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 this link is good and I believe they just added an autmoted root to the tool! Also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547 this link as you can see is for begginers, like you. It helped me out so much with the language and just about everything! Just remember research, read and read some more and it will not be as confusing! If you need anything else just post back here and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction. Good Luck!:good:

Hey guys, I'm brand new to some of this stuff so please bear with me. I've tried hunting all over the internet for help and at this point XDA is my last hope.
I've got a Kindle Fire 7 (5th Gen) that I previously used for reading books and whatnot. It's gotten so slow to the point it's intolerable and even on factory reset it's lagging pretty bad. I've wanted to try to remove the Fire OS from it for some time but never really could figure it out and today when I did try to do so I ran across some problems. I'm at the point where I really don't know what I'm doing and I don't want to brick it.
My version, according to the tablet, is Fire OS 5.3.6.4. I'd really like to get this thing converted over but I'm seeing that in some cases this device cannot be rooted because it cannot be downgraded. I'd like to hear it directly from the professionals that do this stuff in their daily lives.
So, I suppose in summary, is it even remotely possible for me to get this thing over to some kind of standard Android? If so, how do I do it? You're really going to have to break it down for me because I don't know anything about Flash Fire and some of these mods I'm seeing. I do computers, not tablets. Lol.
Thank you so so much!

This is the procedure you'll need to follow. Not for the faint of heart; involves opening the device and running software you likely have no familiarity with. I suggest you consider a $64 USD Onn tablet from Walmart that runs the latest version of Android right out of box. Good luck, mate.

I found out about this forum yesterday. I downloaded and installed the Fire Toolbox. I managed to work through the functions to get it more like an Android device. Now I hope to learn a lot more from the experts who are here. My most important reason for joining is to get my Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet to show movies on my TV when we go camping. So far I am hoping there are answers to this problem that will make a lot of people happy.
