theres not really a reason not to . removing system crap u don't use ,making it look more like a android tablet,the playstore is the main reason i rooted mine . you'll figure out what to do with it as you go trust me

Yes the Play Storewold probably be the number one reason everyone roots. There are thousands of apps and a lot of them are free!! Unlike the sorry Amazon store. There are many other things you can do when you root as well, such as: speed your kindle up, change to a different ROM, custimize basically everything and the list goes on and on and on.. you get the point. You better just make sure you do your research and then research some more.. it really helps with understanding this hole root thing.. here's a great link that someone provided to me when I first started and I bricked my device..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547:good::good:

My big fear when i root is to have a brick of my new Fire Hd (it's have a month of life) . If I do not root anyway I can install Aptoide?

If you read that LINK I posted it tells you that it is very very hard to totally brick your device which is true, TRUST ME lol. I have change a lot on my Fire and have been in a few "brick" situations, but you take a deep breath and figure things out. Aptoide is great but some of the apps won't work unless you change the permission settings and therefore you need to be rooted...

You can tweak it to make it run best, put live wallpapers, change the default launcher and more. Use my tweaks and have more than 7700 in antutu benchmark and play gta 3 like in the nexus 7 (mp9engine and other tweaks do this possible), install chainfire for best gaming too

slg1986,
This is a great question, I had to take a moment and put in our 1 cent.
Why should I leave the Kindle Stock:

1. The Kindle will remain stable since you are unable to perform any modifications
2. You get custom Ads based on your purchasing behavior - some people do like this feature
3. Restoring is very easy from a Factory Reset
4. No need to buy backup software, the Kindle is Backup to the Amazon Cloud
5. You received full Amazon Support
6. Warranty remain valid no chance of invalidating the warranty
7. Everything is integrated, no need to spend time customizing
Cons -
1. You are stuck with the Factory Carousel
2. You can not customize the Kindle
3. You can not choose an Alternative Video Provider
4. You can not choose an alternative Book Provider
5. You are stuck with ads whether you like them or not
6. You are stuck with Amazon Apps Store so most Apps cost you $$
7. No custom Launcher
8. No way to sync Ubuntu One MP3's
9. Much more.......
Why should I Root The Kindle -
Pros
1. Fairly Easy to Root
2. You can change the Lock Screen
3. You can change the Wallpaper to Anything you like
4. You can eliminate the Kindle Carousel
5. You can change the Icons to match you mood
6. You can sync you Apple iTunes to the Kindle
7. You can install Flash Support
8. You can view YouTube
9. You can use the Google Apps
10. You can install Movie players like MX Player and VLC
11. You can create on the Kindle
12. Very hard to damage the Kindle and Brick it
13. You can install a wide array of Internet Browsers
14. You can change the Camera App
15. You can install Graphic Editing Software
16. Soon there will be a wide array of custom ROM's available
17. You can remove the Amazon Garbage that slows the Kindle down
18. You can add tweaks like Persano Tweaks
19. Much More.............
Cons
1. You can void your Warranty if not careful
2. Some people find Rooting the Kindle Difficult
3. That is all I can think of at the moment.................

At the moment, are there any custom roms being developed for the Kindle Fire HD 7"?

Android Custom ROM - Kindle Fire HD

Click to collapse
obscurehaven,
Yes, there are a number of developers working on different projects, by Mid 2013 we will see a few CM10 ROM's, AOSP ROM, Ubuntu ROM and a few others I am sure. Development is going slow due to some backend issues around the Kindle HD 7".
The Kindle Fire 2 has a solid CM10 ROM already developed and another person is working on a AOSP ROM, I am sure there is more.
The Kindle Fire 8.9" has a solid developer working on CM10 and another working on AOSP. Again, I am sure there are other developers.
These are the one I know about, there are plenty I do not know about, more to come..............:good:

Possible to root BRAND new Kindle Fire HD?

So is it possible to root the all new Kindle Fire HD 7" ($139.99) with Fire OS 3.0 on it? I'd be looking to put Android 4.2.2. Or is it possible to load the Play store onto the device?
If so, is it also possible to renew the device back to Fire OS 3.0?

Well its brand brand new ya know? I am also curious about this question booting andriod that is

I've used them bone stock with Fire OS 3.0 and for $139 it works flawlessly, however i'd love to get the Google Play store at the least.

Have you tried Bin4ry's Root Many Android yet? It has worked for every Kindle Fire since the second generation devices were released, so I find it hard to believe that it wouldn't work for the newer devices as well.

I haven't purchased one yet. I've only used one a work.

It probably won't be far off. @Hashcode seems to be already working on it, based on this.

It doesn't appear that he ever ended up getting it done because he hasn't posted in about a month. I actually went out and purchased one, so I am quiet eager.

Hashcode is a busy guy. He develops for about a dozen different devices, so adding one more to that roster is going to take a while. Yes, we're all eager for his work as well, as his ports of CM10.1 and CM10.2 are amazing. Even if we have to wait a year, Hashcode, and if not him, someone else will get around to developing for the new Fire:fingers-crossed:
And if you did go out and actually buy one, why not try doing what @soupmagnet suggested and try the Bin4ary root method on it? Amazon may have forgotten to patch the fake-backup we use to "sneak in" the root binaries.

Could I get the link to the method? This would be the first time I have rooted a device, however i'm sure I could do it. I've been building computers since I was 14.
I don't think it would work though, because this Kindle runs version 11.3.0.3 not 7.4.6

Here's the link. I know, it's for 7.4.7, but hey, who knows? It may work :fingers-crossed:
And the KFHD was the first anything I've ever rooted (although jailbreaking iOS was nothing new). Supposedly, if you're familiar with Linux, Android's not that different. If you take your time to read everything carefully and follow the instructions, everything should go smoothly.

7.4.7. doesn't work for me. These new HD's run 11.3.0.3 so we'll likely need a version for that.

Kindle Fire HD 11.3 - Root, but no Google Play

OK - So I've been at this for over 4 days and here is what I know to date:
11.3 Kindle is fairly easy to root thanks to many people around here.
Root Many will not provide you access to Google Play on the 11.3 OS Kindle
All the forums that propose solutions to getting it to work around here - don't work on 11.3
Widgets and Live Wallpapers don't seem to work if Google Play is not working
KFFirstAide will not allow you to get Google Play working on 11.3
As far as I can tell, while no one has outright said it, you can not correctly get Google Play working on an 11.3 Kindle Fire as of 12/27/13
Please correct me if I am wrong, I'd love to be told and shown otherwise.

From what I can tell your and read. That is correct. Root is fairly easy though it took me a while cause what most threads dont tell you is you need the sdk so you get the drivers working properly. Which is what I had to do. I have put all the google apps on my kindle but I get force closes a lot and can't use the market. Might be wondering how is any of this useful then? As you can still log in I just use the google apps I like example YouTube and Play Music. But as of now I have heard of some getting market to work but I have not seen a definite way to get that done.

1st gen Kindle HD 7, does latest Amazon firmware lock it down?

Edit: I mean 2nd gen (one with hdmi and camera)
I'm a bit confused with this. I have one on the way, but I'm concerned it will have been updated to the latest firmware. Are there downgrades available if it is locked down, or is it just not an issue with the latest firmware?

I started getting that on 2 kf hd 7" and 1 kf 8.9 that were rooted and updates disabled about 2 years ago. I was on here trying to remember how I rooted it in the first place to restore it.

Install custom ROM or just One click script?

Hi, I just purchased a Fire table 5th generation for my parents, and this is totally different from what I normally see in an Android stock device (Nexus with 6.0); so I'm wondering if I should install a custom ROM or just use the one click script? I would appreciate comments from people that have used this device for some time; I don't have a PRIME account, so I don't really need to have all the Amazon "plus" features; my only concern is if the table loses capabilities by switching to a custom ROM, if not I think it would be the best choice. I'm running 5.11 by the way.
Please let me know your comments, thanks!

The one click script just roots and "Debloats" (I use that VERY loosely) the fire with google play
Cyanogenmod 12.1 for fire has no missing capabilites and i use it daily. It just has google play and some stock apps with no amazon.
You can use the one click script to root it and use fire flash and look up a tutorial (use rootjunkies tutorial but drag the factory reset one to first.)
Hope this helps you.

Just installed CM12.1 with Flashfire, thanks!!

is this model "SG98EG" compatible with custom rom and root?

Hi
planning to buy this model "SG98EG" amazon fire HD 8in 16GB 5th generation.
my target to install stock rom, cyangonmod or nexus rom.
I want to have a normal android tablet in good price, so I thought it's my device.
I'm afraid of non compatibility to modification! at least to install google play and change the launcher.
Thank you in advance.

This forum is for 7in 5th gen, not 8in 6th gen. Your forum is here
The ROMs will not work, look in the forum I linked for the right ROMs. Root should work. Google play will work. Launcher hijack/launcher hijack 2 will work.
EDIT: Root may work, depending on the firmware version you get. You will probably get a 5.3.2.1 device, so root will not, but Google play and custom launcher would. Check the version when you get it, and look in the hd8 forum for info on what to do.
