Hello,
i bought the kindle fire HD 3rd gen from 2013. I rooted it, but the update to OS 4.5.5 removed the root permissions. Is there still a way to root it or do I have to downgrade it? If I have to, how can I do it? I only found tutorials for other devices or OS.

Hello XDA i have a kindle Fire hd (2nd Gen) 7 inch SOHO firmware no camera 10 gb latest update i bought a fast boot factory cable to maybe downgrade the firmware and root it me unfortunately updated the firmware when i got it so does anyone know anything about this device because i know its only a year old but haven't seen anything on it really i have tried everything to root this thing Towel-root, Kingo root, Root scripts made for the kindle nothing works so if anyone can maybe give me a link to a firmware downgrade to exploit a vulnerability that would be awesome i have seen the kfhd restore tool but its not compatible with my device. also a gapps and custom recovery would be awesome thanks.:good:

Using Tapatalk so can't point you there but if you look in Development currently 2nd thread with Supertool. Look halfway down in first post and you will find a link to downgrade. Just did mine. First time with Fire so took a little learning but worked. I had to use the actual Supertool to first update my drivers for adb and fastboot to be able to see the Fire tablet. Then I ran the downgrade part. I also learned to deregister with Amazon first and to unplug the tablet before trying to use Kingroot to root. All went smoothly once I figured those steps out after searching for a bit.

Question 1: Is there a way to root Fire OS 5.3.1.1 on a 4th Generation Kindle Fire HD 7 (preferably without ADB)? Question 2: Is there a way to block OTA updates without root? Thanks!

First question is off-topic; post in HD 7 forum (here). Regardless of device no way to reliably (operative word) block OTA updates on an unrooted device short of isolating from network.
Please help! I need to check for any root exploits I can use for my Kindle Fire (on Fire OS 5.3.1.1) before it updates to Fire OS 5.3.2 or whichever version it's updating to soon. I will disable wi-fi once I turn off my Kindle. Can I root Fire OS 5.3.1.1? Also, does the message system component needs to be installed, which I saw in the System Update settings, mean an update? Sorry if it's obvious...

Hiya,
n00b question here: whats a relatively safe way to back-up the OS/boot loader etc on a Kindle Fire HD 7"? It's an EVT2 build, and has a pre-release test keys version of android 4.2.2 on. The System version is "soho-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39 11.1.0_userdebug_1036810 test-keys" and it has a load of test apps installed.
I've seen a couple of guides in the dev section but these looked aimed at the 1st or 2nd edition Fires - I wasn't sure how to back-up a system without an SD card. The tablet is factory rooted as adb root works straight away
