Hi folks. Just got a New Kindle Fire HD (The kid won it) It says 4th generation 7 inch Fire HD/ In settings there is no Device info menu. I was able to unlock the developer mode. When I click on update version it says is 4.1.1 (Latest) Can't figure out much more than this about the device. The serial number is also not helpful. Is it possible to root this and/or install TWRP/CWM?

I too did some digging and so far as I can tell no one has figured out how to root these new ones. Do not try any of the older generation hacks I'm not sure if the exploit was fixed in this bootloader or if it still exists but if you mess it up you might have a shiny paperweight.

Any progress on rooting 2014 model?
I have just got one of these new 2014 models and would be interested to see if anyone manages to root them although so far using ES File Explorer and a change of the app security settings I have managed to install my own apk backups ok at least!
I'm glad i'm not the only one needing root for my 4th gen. It's my first kindle; thought I was getting a 3rd gen, Officemax gave me the 4th gen at the $80 price tag... I just need access to Google Play/Services and AdAway.
I haven't found any apps I need that aren't in the Amazon store but for those you can't find then install ES File Explorer then grab the app file from a networked PC or even just copy the app to your Kindle and install it. Not used AdAdawy but looks like there is a link to the APK here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190753 so you should be able to install that easy?
I can install the application, but for it to function properly AdAway requires Superuser access
Ah ok. Just followed this to get Gmail & YouTube installed: http://www.gizmag.com/how-to-install-google-apps-kindle-fire-hd-hdx/30736/
Wow - thanks for that!! Now I can at least get google play on here.
Now we wait for root. I just hope there's enough interest for someone to take the time and do it.
Just an update - tried to install Google play via that method, and the play app isn't able to connect to the google server.
Might be something small, but I've run through the instructions exactly 3x.
Seems like root is required. Hopefully won't be too long of a wait
You guys are all in the wrong forum. The forum you are looking for is the "Fire HD 6 & 7" forum. Amazon decided to drop the Kindle name from the 4th generations. That is pretty much the only main difference (aside from all the exploits being patched) between the 2nd and 4th generations. The 3rd generation Fires (the HDXs) are way more powerful that both the 2nd generation and the 4th.
Those files from that blog post worked fine for me to allow Gmail, Play Music, Chrome and YouTube to be installed from the apk files also linked in that post and all are working fine on my Kindle Fire HD 2014 except the rare YouTube user error.

I ran through it a couple more times, and cannot get the play store to load properly. Gmail worked fine, but the play store won't connect, and gives the bank screen/tap to reload button.
Rooting
Yep, so far as I can tell it's not possible to root these and it may never be. They've locked the bootloader up. It would have to be some sort of exploit on the bootloader to crack these open. That being said you can, as other's have posted, install anything that DOESN'T require root, APK's. The reason that the store won't load is that it requires root to run, unfortunately. So no Play store, though you can install other Google/Play apps that aren't on the Amazon store. Also if you're that crafty you can grab the APK from another device and manually install it on the Fire.
I'm disappointed because all the stuff I read was apparently for the very early versions (1st Gen) that it was much easier to root. Newer ones will be much harder, though not impossible.
I only want another Launcher to work properly. They install fine but everytime I hit the home button I need to choose the default again. Very annoying.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I have a 4th gen Fire HD 7 and have installed Go Launcher, which works fine but, like you, whenever I hit the home button I have to choose the default again. I have searched for hours and hours trying to finding a solution but haven't got anywhere
Does anyone know whether it can be done? Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the reply - appreciate it.
Have just tried Twisted Home but still doesn't work - even though according to that app, it is set as default.
For some reason, the tick box that appears in all previous versions of the Fire (saying you want to use this app everytime - i.e set the default) - just doesn't come up.
There must be a way to do it? SO frustrating
Thanks
Again, you guys are all in the wrong section. I advise you visit the forums for the "Fire HD" (Amazon dropped the Kindle name) instead, as someone might actually be able to help you there.

Through a lot of searching, trial and error, I finally got Netflix working on my Droid original version. I installed the netflix apk with device checking disabled (you can find it on this forum) and then made just 2 changes to my build.prop file. I set ro.product.model=Droid
and
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola.
Success!!! So, wondering if I could do the same on my Gtab with Vegan-Tab. Installed the apk, changed the build.prop file and gave it a go.
Almost Success!!! The streaming actually works. I have tried all the other methods and never got the movie to stream. With this one it does.....problem is that it is running way to fast. The audio sounds like it must be 10 times faster than normal.
Another step.....sooner or later I'll find the secret.
If you used the version of the Neflix apk with the device check disabled you shouldn't have had to modify your build prop at all.
I installed it on my Droid X and it ran beautifully without any mods at all.
The device check only gets you as far as allowing the Netflix app to actually load completely. There is further wizardry involved to actually get streaming to occur. I can attest to the fact that I have tried at least 8 modifications of the build.prop file, with the only one allowing streaming to occur being the one that matches my Droid. Honest to goodness and cross my heart.
With disregard for the Netflix apk entirely, does Netflix allow streaming of their media directly from their website? Another words can you simply login to your web based account & access the media there?
I've never used Netflix & have no plans to join, but I figured if I could get the web version of Crackle to work when the Crackle.apk didn't then the same might hold true for Netflix. Of course it doesn't resolve the current problem but at the very least allows one to enjoy streaming until the issue is fixed.

Took the information posted earlier and, what do you know netflix on the droid x combinded with real hdmi lets make it a movie night.

They released an official update in the Market that doesn't do the device check. I don't know if that means it's wide open now for all android devices or not though for folks that have a Netflix account.

My netflix running on CM7 about 2 days ago was working and now its not apparently because there is a new Netflix Update on the market.
Is there a reason why I can't search the Official Netflix App on the market using my GTAB? My build.prop is already modified to Nexus S. Maybe someone can post the Netflix APK since it is probably detecting my device as not supported.
Same here, using the new app, starts loading, flashes briefly, then back to the queue. Just installed flash 10.3 ,still no go.

After reading some positive reviews and seeing a video showing it working on a TouchPad running Android, I decided to buy DeadSpace. I made the purchase through market.android.com, but I can't download it because the Market app says it's not compatible with my device. Does anyone have a recommendation for how to download this game now that I've bought it? Can I change the device ID or something to make the market think my TouchPad is something that is compatible?
Thanks!
try changing your build.prop info to the same as the SG-i9100
In the build.prop change the following lines from:
ro.product.model=Touchpad
ro.product.brand=HP
to
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung

Actually this did work for me and I was able to download the game. I did have to clear cache on Market and clear data on Google Services Framework, then reboot, but once I did, it showed up. I had to perform these steps on my Nook Color back in the day as well...
So now that it's installed, the game starts and says it needs to download 300+MB. I tell it to do so and it immediately shows an empty dialog with only an "Exit" button, after which it exits. I can't get past that. Any ideas?
Also, I installed Chainfire3D and the Nvidia plugin. Is that necessary? Is that correct for the TouchPad? Is there any other configuration that I should do for this to work well?
Thanks much for the help!
You could try the other plugins powervr or qualcomm
Glad you were able to get it downloaded. Not sure on the download issue though.
If you have another supported device you could try downloading the files on it and moving them over - or see if someone has posted the sdcard files somewhere.
Have the exact same issue with Dead Space. Asphalt 6 HD works like a charm though. I'm looking for answers but I get the same response.... wash, rinse, repeat (wipe, clear cache, repeat thrice...)
Haven't tried doing the 3-peat yet. If anyone else has and has achieved success after having the same issue with this game, let us know!

Success! Took a while though.....
So I updated my build.prop to the Pyramid device... (sorry, no link where I found that, but GT-i9100 should do fine too). Then I side loaded the main apk like suggested in previous threads. Then I copied the root folder from my Evo where I already had it installed to my PC and transferred the folder to my TP like it was already fully installed.
From there it still said my device wasn't supported, so I installed the powervr plugin for chainfire3d, used in-app settings through chainfire.
Here's where it got weird: I kept getting the same error over and over of my device not being supported. Then my wifi connected and when I ran the game, it immediately searched for an update. Apparently it found one! Suddenly I'm up and running, smooth as silk.
Now gonna try Real Racing 2!

Anyone know a solution for this? I'm getting the same issue. I'm running Jensen 2.8 lite with the buildprop changes and also installed chainfire3d with all the pluggins. No go
Okay, I used my Nook Color to download the data, transferred that back to the TouchPad, and launched it successfully. When it starts rendering 3D, though, it's all white with no textures. What Chainfire3D settings are folks using on the TouchPad that work?
I have read somewhere to use the following option for chainfire 3D as this is the GPU-manufacturer:
qualcomm
it may be worth a try.

Yeah, I've tried all three plugins with the various options enabled and disabled. No go. Has anyone gotten this going with A3.5? Between this and the lockups in Currents and other Webkit apps, I'm strongly considering going back to the previous alpha.
Okay, I finally got this working. I moved back to A2.1 which didn't actually fix anything (though it does seem to have resolved the lockups in Webkit-based apps like Google Reader and Currents, though they're not as smooth when they're working), but then I purchased the full version of Chainfire 3D and launched Dead Space using per-app settings. Suddenly it worked perfectly! I don't know why that would make a difference...perhaps I just didn't know how to use the free version. Either way, $4 is a small price to pay for the added flexibility of the full version of Chainfire 3D, and of course now I have a working, silky smooth Dead Space! Woohoo!
UPDATE: Okay, I know the magic incantation now. This works under A3.5 (and therefore presumably XRON) just fine if you use the PowerVR plugin in ChainFire 3D. I didn't have to reduce texture quality or anything else, just set the plug-in to PowerVR. I hope this helps others get this really nice looking game going on their TouchPads!

Is there a way to hide or change it so my Kindle just shows up as an Android phone to apps?
Would some terminal emulator code work for that?
Also, i cant for the life of me get my background and lock screen to change.
I'm using ADW launcher and tried themes for it but no difference.
I got my kindle as a present awhile back from someone who said they got it from a pawn shop (lol) so i don't know if that makes a difference. Its a second generation one, i figured that out when i was trying to mess with the ADB for ways to change the background... anddd at some point with my messing with it, its decided not to let me pull the notification bar down anymore and when i turn it horizontal the screen is black like ADW doesn't readjust.
Please help i know i should be happy with how far I've gotten but its too much fun to try and mess with it, you know? Modding is a little addictive.

First off,no one gets harsh for noobness here. We all help each other.
And now about your question. I would suggest flashing a custom ROM like CM instead of Amazon OS. But if you want to keep it stock rooted,try editing the build prop.

Hi there, easiest way is to change your build prop. This requires root and you don't need to flash roms etc but I recommend this if you want the "full" android experience. Ask me how to change build prop first if you are interested. If you change the build prop you can spoof your apps into thinking that your device is a different device. However it is quite safe ONLY IF YOU DO IT CORRECTLY. hope this helps!

ah nice, i didn't find anything. Thank you for the info.
I have the same problem... I don't know what to do...
same problem here - 1+3t see my chromecast device , attempts to connect and... thats all
I've not screwed around with this problem much since I don't "cast screen" aside from netflix which works (as said here). I did some screen casting from CM in the past, But::
I've experience the identical symptoms of this problem on CM13, CM14, etc, with their built in cast command. I don't know if it'll be identical or of any help, but I had to get rid of all of the /system partition based "cast" (whatever it's called in this version), from /system/apps ./priv-apps and other /system-like places..
When you are sure you've got it all gone, using root explorer or adb or whatever you prefer (of course, you have to be rooted) , then reboot, then install Google Home(chromecast) from the play store. That worked fine in the CM's. I'll see if I can dig up the correct file names & folders that apply to this version and get back to this thread if I do.
I'll be happy to be the guinea pig, so don't do this unless you want to take a chance on screwing up your phone, until I report back.
Edit 1: Of course, the 3t does it differently. They're using all /data spaces for the cast, and since I've installed "google home" I have to get rid of it first to figure out which files remain. Here is what there is right now, not that there is anything worth doing with it unless I've uninstalled Google Cast via play store:

So I have a Fire 7 tab that, at some point a good while back I did a whole debloat and launcher highjack on. I haven't really used this tab in quite some time. Decided to start using it again just today so dusting it off. It's on the 5.6 software now, which I realized is a mistake but I didn't realize the 5.3.6 software update was actually the 5.6.3 update (due to the typo) until I started poking around the forums here again. So ya, not super but things are working just fine still so not a huge deal I guess.
Anyway, I just realized that Prime Video is one of the apps that apparently was disabled (or whatever) when I debloated a while back. In the apps list is says "Not installed for this user". When I click on the app, the screen for it is entirely greyed out (though it does show as taking up 50.16MB on the device).
Is there a way at this point for me to get this app back? I tried installing from the play store and from a downloaded apk to no avail. Any help much appreciated. Thanks!

When I click on the app, the screen for it is entirely greyed out (though it does show as taking up 50.16MB on the device).
Is there a way at this point for me to get this app back? I tried installing from the play store and from a downloaded apk to no avail. Any help much appreciated. Thanks!

You'll need to factory reset or reload/sideload FireOS 5.6.3.x (or any build down to 5.4.0.0). There is no way to restore individual apps that have been 'naturalized' via techniques used in the homegrown debloat scripts.
