Alright so I have a 2013 kindle fire 7" hd with OS 11.3.2.1
After doing some research, I discovered kyleberry's solution for a root to the current fire is 11.3.2.1, and the rooting process went well without issue. I checked via ES File Explorer and root checker, and both confirm root status. However, I have noticed that when I try to download a game from Amazon cloud or from Amazon directly, that I can click "download" and it Will say download started but will stay at 0% and never progress. I'm not sure if this is due to the root and it blocking the Amazon app store IP or something else. I can't download the app directly from Amazon to my PC, as Amazon won't let me download directly to my PC. Looking for help here as to what's going on and how to fix this.

So I rooted my new fire hd and installed chrome, and ended up making the dumb mistake of uninstalling amazon silk thinking I don't want it now. I want to re-install it so that at least when I tap the web icon on the top carousel it wouldn't give me an error saying failed to load web browser. I tried the Kindle Fire First Aide reboot of the device, but I must've done something wrong because when the device loaded up the system files for silk were still missing and I still had root privileges. Thanks so much!
Have you tried to install the silk.apk and elevate it to system/app/?

I'm also looking for the silk browser port?
There is an old thread ([PORT] Amazon Kindle Fire "Silk" Browser) abot Silk working on CM7.
I was trying to install new extracted files from latest AmazonOS on CM11 but it's not that simple.
KitKat WebView engine uses chrmium insted of webkit. This may be another hitch.
hi guys,
i have just received my new kindle fire hd 7" 2013 running 11.3.1.0 i have not connected it to the internet to stop auto updates.
i have ran the root script and believe it has worked but not 100% sure. i am trying to install es file explorer and supersu but cant find any way to do so without connection and downloading from the store. i dont want to conect my kindle just incase it auto updates and un does my root(if it has worked), what i want to do is check for root, if its worked, use es file explorer to stop the auto updates happening. i have the APK files for both ES and SU.
my question is how do i install them?
any help would be greatly appreciated
kind regards

Make sure adb is enabled on kindle
Plug Kindle into computer
adb install /path/to/app.apk

There is no stock file Explorer on Kindle. You have to downloaded it from Amazon first. I believe there is a root option for the most recent option as well.

I purchased a Kindle Fire HD off Amazon that said it couldn't be registered to an Amazon account but I didn't care as I wanted to put a custom ROM on it anyway. I had a heck of a time attempting to root it, wound up buying a factory fastboot cable and using the KFHD System.img Restore Tool I now have 7.4.8 rooted on my Kindle Fire HD. I installed the PlayStore seperately (because if I chose option 2 with extra launchers and PlayStore the WiFi wouldn't turn on but it worked with Option 1) and attempted to install the Amazon Kindle app so that I could redownload all my books I had on the original Kindle but it says it is already installed and won't let me install it again. It is not listed in the apps on the Kindle and it doesn't give me the option to uninstall it, just Force Stop and Clear Cache.
How can I get the Amazon Kindle app in the app section or carousel?
It's already installed. Go to the original launcher and click books, and that's the kindle app. If you wanna get the Play Store variant of it, install ES File Explorer, enable Root Explorer (if you've rooted, root if you haven't), go to /system/app and delete it from there. I dont specifically remember the apk name though. Good luck.

I need some advice. I used z4root to root my kindle so that I could try to install the google play store app on it. The version that I found (4.9.something) installed, but it either didn't work (I used EZ file explorer to find it & install it), or I did it wrong (it installed, but it would blink when I clicked on it, & that's all). I UN-installed, & when I did that, the Silk browser was GONE! I was able to download a bare-bones browser from amazon's "Store" app, or else I would've been dead. The silk browser decided to come out of hiding when I used one of the other wimpy browsers that I'd downloaded from amazon's store app.
The advice that I need is, what is the LATEST version of the Google play store (app) that is confirmed to work with my particular kindle? Also, a link to said app would help, but I have to use a public library for my wi-fi, & their transparent proxy is somewhat anal, so hopefully the download link isn't someplace that is too likely to be blocked.
I have tried to root this using Root with Restore by Bin4ry and the KFFA toolkit and I am having no luck. The thing just recently updated to FireOS 4.5.2 on Dec 13 (The build number is 11.4.5.2 or at least that's what it says in the root checker program). After trying to root using KFFA, now if I try to load any game or go into Silk browser and try to type something in the address bar it reboots. I can get into ES File Explorer and The Washington Post app just fine, it just seems like the games and browser are causing the issue. I am thinking about trying a factory reset but really don't want to go that route if I don't have to. Are there any root exploits working for this kindle and FireOS version yet? What could be causing the kindle to reboot when loading a game? Thanks!

Just tried something else, looks like it is not Silk Browser, it is the keyboard that is causing the reboot. I brought up ES File Explorer and tried to search for something and it rebooted as well.

Well, oddly enough it seems to be working now, not sure wtf is going on, but I still need to get root if possible on this thing.
