Can someone point me in the right direction please? I'm looking for info regarding installing Google Play Books on my wife's Gen 3 KFire HD operating Fire OS 4.5.5.1
I rooted today using KingRoot.
Ideally, if possible, I'd like to stay with the stock OS since it's my wife's. Simplicity.
I have disabled the OTA update file.
Thanks

Go to your computer, Google root junky supertool and download it, make sure adb is enabled on the kindle, plug it in, unzip the supertool and run the batch program, wait a bit, and then you will see a bunch of options, it should be option 3 or 4. Follow the super tools instructions, and let it do its thing, and then your tablet should reboot with Gapps installed. This works with or without root. From this point you can install the play books app.

Firefox crashes except for 10.1 and 10.2 but the new firefox nightly works someone on another thread linked this dropbox file https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/fennec-20.0a1.multi.android-arm.apk I tested it and it works

I'm encountered the same problem with FF force closing after opening using version 17.0.
Once my Kindle Fire charges back up I'm going to try the nightly builds and if those don't work going to older releases from mozilla's ftp mobile directory.
Sorry I can't post a direct link - I'm too new.
Current setup is an unrooted KFHD 8.9.
Just looking for browser that will let me tweak an ad blocker and javascript to my liking.
I will let you know if any work.

Installed the current nightly off Mozilla's site - download was called fennec-20.0a1.multi.android-arm.apk - and so far so good even if it feels a bit laggy.
Trying to import bookmarks crashed it for me.

I checked my KFHD but couldn't not find any googleservicesframework.app (looked in /system/app and elsewhere). I tried both releases and nightlies (10, 18 and 19). None of them worked.
My KFHD is a rooted 7" model with the Play Store app installed.
Somewhat off-topic: Why does the Play Store tell me that Chrome is not compatible with my device? Does anybody know what it requires that the KFHD doesn't have without diving into the androidmanifest.xml file of the APK? Thx!

It works fine on the kindle fire. Download the apk from somewhere else and install manually. There are copies all over xda

Hello guys and gals,
I was looking over the information for the kindle fire HD 7, and I personally own the Original Kindle fire. Through a bit of work, I was able to root, install the play store, and unroot on my original kindle. This allowed me to have the play store, and run the stock os and retain my prime access.
Is there a method that allows this on the fire hd? If not, is 1mobile.com the app store everyone seems to be using?
There's actually a custom Rom called Kinology that will let you keep access to Amazon Prime and Instant Video. So you can just root and stay rooted, just flash kinology and you're good to go :thumbup:
Edit: oh yes, and you get play store access too. Best of both worlds!

I thought root on the kfhd didn't break prime....

Yes you lose prime access when rooted. I rooted because i was never gonna watch movies or show on this device. I got it for a gift.

If you use a CM based ROM you'll lose prime, that's because they don't have the same framework as the amazon ROM, which supports prime. Kinology uses the same framework as the amazon stock ROM, and so with kinology you keep prime.

You need to deroot it afterwords still, as its impossible for us to make a unrooted image as we need root to make the image.

How to unroot?
Run binaries root and I think it has an unroot option, or u can just delete the su binary and uninstall the superuser apk.

You can't just flashed things on a tablet. The bootloader is locked and no second bootloader mod is available. Second is TWRP images have to be slightly modified to use on any Kindle in the first place.

I understand that the boot loader is locked, but what holds up a custom, or edited boot loader? I'm experienced in using these software's, but not in their development.
If your asking what I think your asking it's an exploit, the cpu on the kindle is a high security model that checks for a signature on the boot loader, if it isn't signed the kindle won't turn on. We found a way to exploit something amazon missed a while back for the other's and that allowed us to use 2nd boot loader, unfortunately for the newer kindles they were released after that had been patched so we don't have an older version of the boot loader that's compatible with your device that can be exploited. *sarcastically high fives amazon*

Can you explain what the exploit was? I recall flashing the custom boot loader at line 1049 (or something to that affect) in the memory, but what was it that made that possible?
Edit* looking back at the kftt process, I see a stack override was used. I understand that the file was pushed to the sd card, but what did it actually do?

Google Play Store for the 11.1.x.x 2013 Kindle fire HD is for window shopping only. Any attempts to download will freeze the tablet. At this point, the answer to your question is no. You can sideload about any app and make it work though. FDroid and 1mobile are great sites to get the latest apks.

For the Kindle Fire HD 7 a 2nd bootloader had to be flashed. It had to be flashed before 7.3.0 because the next firmware release patched the bootloader. This is why a 7.2.3 bootloader image had to be flashed as well (to make the exploit possible.) Since no exploit exists, at the moment, there is no way to even flash any unsigned files.
Edit* looking back at the kftt process, I see a stack override was used. I understand that the file was pushed to the sd card, but what did it actually do?

The stack override file makes it so you can install unsigned recovery and boot images.
So what about mimicking the file signature?
Sent from my KFSOWI using xda app-developers app
That would be very difficult to do, and also very expensive considering how many hard bricks it would probably make. I mean I suppose if someone with the know how analyzed several bootloaders for all the devices that have signed boot loaders that are omap based we might be able to get a better idea of what the signature is that is added to the file to replicate, but no one seems to have done that, probably because its immensely difficult I would imagine. I kinda compare it to making a keygen for a program that spits out a random code and asks for the code that goes with it. Though I'm assuming way more difficult.

Hi All,
Is there a way to install Play Store on the Fire 7 without root and no PC?
I've got two Chromebooks, don't know if that would help at all!

@glenawil. That's cool. The workflow I wrote uses the trusted sources of another working Android device. I was too worried about using binary files from someone else.
