Hello I am new to these forums and I have looked everywhere but can't find how to root and turn this kindle into an android tablet. I have a kindle fire hd 3rd generation 4.5.2 serial number 00D2 0708 3522 07L8. If someone can lead me in the right direction i would appreciate it greatly and thank you for your time.
Please all I ask is a simple answer if it's rootable and where on this forum can I find where to root this device
I'm after the same with no joy
So do you think there is no root for this version yet?

Only for soho. If you try to do it on another device it'll probably get bricked, so don't.
Darn
I purchased the KFHD 7 for my daughter after reading a bunch of good reviews. Didn't realise it had the crappy proprietary Fire OS on it until after the fact. Can't wait until someone figures out a root method to set her free!
I have a Kindle Fire HDX 7"
Bought this kindle fire a few months ago thinking I could root the device which I did ok. Then I went looking for instructions to install Google Play Store and Google Play Services as I hadn't had to install Google Store before. That was a few weeks ago. Since then my kindle has updated it's system to 4.5.2. After that I couldn't root the kindle at all never mind installing Google Play on it! When will someone figure out how to root this kindle and install Google Play on it! I am passing the point of no return with this kindle. If I meddle with it any more it will be unusable!!!!! Grrrrrr!

Please tell us how you rooted your Kindle. I guess many would be happy to root it in stock condition and then disable updates.
I read it has a Mediatek board. Have you tried MTK droidtools?
How did you do that?

Finding a bunch of reviews that don't mention that the fire locks you into a closed ecosystem is quite a feat. And none that do mention it. Kudos for the finessed search skills. Well done!
Reading reviews not noticing that Fire OS may be a bit different from stock Android...
Anyways, has anybody yet managed to root the KFSOWI 4.5.5 version without the special cable?
Someone told me using KingRoot (normal app) may help but it doesn't work for me. There MUST be some skilled developer being able to root it easily...
Does not work on kindle fire 3rd gen. tablet.
best option for now
Best option for now, would probably be to downgrade your os before this one and disable updates till this one is rooted. i found the update file versions. Im gonna try it now.
Hello, I have the Kindle Fire 3rd gen(2013) v. and in the past I have rooted and such but the new Fire OS 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 Updates took that all away. Well, I read yesterday on this forum that there was a way to root Fire OS 4.5.1 so if someone can help me figure out a way to downgrade I will be most thankful(I know there is a thread on here about it I just can't find it anymore...). I apologize if I posted this in the wrong place. The Kindle's forum's are a bit confusing to me on here. Thanks for the help!
Root
Ok I managed to find the thread on XDA again and managed to get amazon to downgrade my kindle to Fire Os 3._._(I cant remember ) now my software version in the settings say 11.3.2.6. Can anyone help me root this version?
Hello guys, i've just ordered a Fire 7" and i intend to use it mainly as an android tablet. So i noticed how much the original device is filled with stuff i won't be using, so i wanna get rid of all that.
How do i go on about rooting the device exactly? I'd really apreciate it if someone point me to the right way. I've tried looking it up but i get confused everytime because of all the information that's been posted here. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, i saw the index page earlier, although i don't know what i should do because as i mentioned above, there are a lot of tutorials in there. Could you list the steps to turn the Fire 7" into an android tablet please? I'll find the tutorials later myself. Thanks again.

This may help you. If you want to get rid of the Fire OS you would need to root your fire then install flash fire and finally flash a custom rom like CM 12.1 or Slim ROM. BTW Root Junky has tons of videos on the Fire.

After viewing videos be sure to revisit the forums, especially the ROM OP and associated thread, for the most current recommendations. Details and options change over time. RootJunky's videos are truly excellent but reflect the best thinking at a specific point in time and should be used as a visual reference versus a step-by-step prescription followed to the letter.

I agree. I have a 4th generation as well. I've been rooting devices for years but I can't seem to track down anything for the 4th edition. Any help would be appreciated.

It has been a while since I've done anything like this. I haven't found a guide on it. If anyone knows of a guide or is willing to help. I have a 7th Gen Fire 7 and want to put a better rom on it so I can access more apps and games on it. I installed google play on it but some apps and games still won't show up for download. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is the wrong forum. There's a Lineage 12 rom for the 7th gen.
