How can I tell which version of the Kindle Fire I have? I know its the Fire, rather than the HD, but how can I tell whether it's the v1 or v2?
I only got it a few weeks ago (was purchased 2 weeks before that as a christmas present) but it was purchased from a shop rather than from Amazon directly and so it may have been sat in a stock room for 6 months before that.
Any version numbers I can look out for?
Olly
If it's running 10.2.x it's a KF2.
If it's running 6.3.x it's a KF1.
Kindle Fire 7" First Generation or Second Generation

Is it hard bricked or no?
OK just have to ask when you say 2nd gen , that term is kinda hard to follow because amazon calls the 2013 model that while we called the first gen of he's the 2nd gen device because of their hardware. Is it the 2012 or 2013 model, if it has no camera it's a 2013 model. Secondly did you try a fastboot cable yet?

It has one front facing camera (the one facing to me right? so confusing) So I guess it is the 2012 one. I don't have any special cables just normal usb cables.

I did just purchase a factory fastboot cable, it was cheap and I made sure it was for the Kindle Fire HD
OK good you should probably be able to fix it then.

I am basically stuck at a static Kindle Fire screen no animation at all.
First of all I do not know where to start this is my sister's Kindle Fire HD. I have purchased a fast boot cable but is the X43Z60 1st or 2nd Generation? I can get to fast boot just fine.
How do I unbrick this Kindle Fire HD? I tried to find the manual instructions on this site but as I do not even know what type of Kindle Fire HD I have I don't even know where to begin.

x43z60 generation, year?
I can't boot to read a s/n, so far I haven't located any sites where I can look up the gen and year by model number alone. Any ideas?
Currently using a 5th Gen 7" Fire tablet I got from Prime Day. I haven't owned a Fire tablet since the very first Kindle Fire and it had the same problem with Amazon Video being broken after rooting the device. I remember the only way to fix it was to unroot the Fire again, but it's been years since I looked into this problem. Is unrooting still the only solution to fixing Amazon Video?

Can't speak to FireOS v5 but Amazon Video works fine with most/all custom roms via the Underground app (despite the ominous name it is an 'official' app distributed by Amazon). Not sure if the Underground app will behave differently on FireOS as it is intended for non-Amazon devices running other Android variants.
Hi all,
I have 2 Amazon fire devices that my kids use. Amazon Fire7 7th gen and Fire 8HD 7th gen. I get that we cannot root these but it looks like we can debloat? just not sure if i need to downgrade first to 5.4?
Ideally i want to disable all amazon apps except amazon shopping or Music but not a big deal
