Does anyone know if the Amazon Fire 5th gen has any sort of provision for accessing a serial console, and if so, what that facility is ? I'd like to see the output from the kernel while booting if possible.
I use [root] LiveBoot

on my phone, haven't checked if it works on the Fire tablet but you can give it a go.

Hi guys,
Wanted to ask you guys, Is there ANY way i could connect a 3G USB stick to my kindle fire HD
I've bought the Huawei E355 and i use wifi to connect it to the Kindle. The Stick works as a wifi-Hotspot and doesn't need a pc or notebook, only a power-source is necessary. I use 4 AAA-Cells.

I see online that kindle fire can use the mouse by the otg, I try in the kindle fire hd7, It doesn't work.
Has anyone tried Bluetooth mouse?

The original fire (I believe) had the ability to utilize USB OTG, but the newer ones (HD, hdx) can not. This is no doubt a restriction set in place by Amazon. :/
As to your question about Bluetooth mice, I have not personally tried them, but hopefully someone else here has.
Pretty sure I tried a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard a while back and it worked... The kfhd will never support otg it lacks the power out so it is a hardware problem.

5th Generation Amazon Fire NOT rooted.
Is there a way to mirror my Fire's Screen to my Samsung Smart TV
Either Wired or Wireless woul be OK
Hey there,
I am really stuck with the Amazon Fire Tablet. Since Amazon is giving them away for around 30 EUR I thought that might make an excellent remote for my TV. The idea is, that I stream everything via my Chromecast.
It works fine wit Plex and other Apps. Only Netflix seems not to support Chromecast when it runs on any Amazon device. I read somewhere here, that the netflix app checks the name of the device in the build.prop and if it figures out it is an Amazon device it will not offer Chromecast as an option.
My problem is, that I am on Fire OS 5.3.2.1, and as far as I know this version cannot be rooted.
Does anyone know a way how to change the name of the device in the build.prop without rooting the device?
Or is there perhaps another way to get Netflix and Chromecast running on the Fire Tablet?
Many thanks
Ilja

Chromecast operation has been problematic under FireOS regardless of root status. I seriously doubt changing device identifers in build.prop will resolve issue nor 'fool' the Netflix app into believing it is running on a different device type. That type of simplistic shroud rarely works as obtaining the true device identity is relatively easy.
Hey guys,
bought a fire 7 with Fire OS 5.3.6.4 and wanted to ADB debug. Followed striclty the tutorial and my device was found but with the status unauthorized. Now I kinda know the problem. My Fire doesnt ask me to confirm my PC with an RSA-Key the only thing showing up is that there is a weak loading source connected. I tried probably everything, revoking all trusted Pcs turning ADB off and on, resetting my Fire, used 2 different Laptops one with the same Problem and one where the Fire wasnt even found. Now I really dont know how to fix this problem, if you have any advice or the same problem... Im thankful for every suggestion.

Because the microUSB cable doesn't have a data (WHITE, GREEN) wiring. Try to use an another microUSB cable with data wiring like Samsung microUSB cable.
