Hi All,
First can I say thanks to all the info providers that have allowed me to root my recently purchased kindle fire HD 8.9, so that I can use it in the UK.
I've now got Google play and can download apps and am pretty delighted with myself :laugh: :laugh:
I have one question though. Since I’ve done this, its lost my registration with Amazon so my wife can’t get her books on it. Am i safe to re sign into Amazon or will this undo all my work?
Thanks in advance
I make no guarantees but i am rooted and signed in using fhd 8.9.
I used droid wall to block a few amazon services as well as deleting the certs file to prevent updates. The updates do apparently remove root but staying signed into amazon doesnt appear to cause any problems.
Search the forums for the various methods to prevent updates, then log in and see what happens.
Edit: yes i can download and read kindle books

To block updates find the folder /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip and rename to otacerts.bat

It doesn't matter what you rename it to. Renaming just allows the file/folder to not be recognized
Help please

I have been using the same method as here

The only problem I had was getting the ADB to speak. in the end I downloaded SDK and swapped the ADB batch file into the folder in the link above. It then spoke fine.
Hey,
I found a German thread here where the managed to root the latest Fire OS Version, see http://www.android-hilfe.de/amazon-...s-4-5-2-funktioniert-root-ja.html#post8436942. This post links to Firerooter (https://plus.google.com/+GranPC/posts/W412cQkHTCw) which is a tool to root the kindle HD 7. Isn't it possible to use this method to root also the HDX 7 with Fire OS 4.5.2? I'm asking cause I'm not so familiar with android developing, but maybe some experts here could answer the question and if possible port it for the HDX devices.
Greetings,
Alex
There's already a thread about this.

Hello,
I have a Gen 1 Kindle Fire I would like to root and install a full Android OS -- I'm thinking Kit Kat.
The easiest way looks to be to use the Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9, but as it runs, it tries to download from broken links and so doesn't work.
Is there a full KFU out there that doesn't need to download anything? What are my options here?
Thank you.
Regards,
Josh

KFU does not root 6.3.3 or 6.3.4

Well, dang, I coulda' sworn it did.
So I need to use Saferoot. How would I go about unlocking the bootloader, or installing a custom bootloader? Will the option on KFU allow me to install a custom ROM?
I apologize if I'm asking questions covered in the thread you referenced. I grew up in the DOS/BASIC/C/early Windows era and am still trying to transition to Android and its terminology.
Thank you.

Hello,
I have root now (thank you!), but in KFU option 6, random.kennocha.com is timing out. Should I just side load the Google Store after installing the new OS?
Thank you,

Hello,
I got it figured out and am now running stock Kitkat.
It seems the TWRP version needed to be higher than the 2.2.x that was included in the package I installed. I just upgraded to TWRP 2.8x.otter and it worked very nicely.
It's been a heck of a learning curve the past couple days. I'm used to just typing "format c:" and going from there!
Do you have any suggestions for the Google Play Store? I've not messed with that, yet.
Regards,
Josh

Hello,
It's 4.4 KitKat. I figured out Play Store.
This is getting fun. I'd like to see the Android architecture, though. I was A+ certified years back, and the class books were good for studying Windows. Are there any books on the Android OS you know of?
Regards,
Josh

there may be some books, but Android is updated almost daily
kitkat is over 2 years old.
there are several guides on xda about building Android roms

Reinforcing @Amerkiller's post. A downgrade/rollback attempt from 5.3.2.1 will brick the device.
