Downgrade from OS5 to any ver 4

I really dislike this new interface on my HDX 8.9. Any way to downgrade to a version prior to the upgrade?

Has not been demonstrated. Risk of bricking if v4/v5 bootloaders are incompatible or contain anti-rollback protection. Suggest contacting Amazon.
Edit: Wrong forum for HDX devices (but answer remains the same).
Yeah, took me 20 mins to get Amazon to assimilate that I wanted to downgrade and not upgrade.....hard work. I gave up on them!

Given your prior activity in this forum you should already know FireOS 5.3.2.1 can not be rooted at present. Only 5.3.1 and below; 5.3.2 can be rolled back to 5.3.1. 5.3.2.1 and above can not be rolled back; device will brick if attempted.

No as explained in numerous threads throughout this forum. Take a moment to read/research (Google is your friend) before posting a question that has been asked and answered many times.

amazon fire 7

Hello
I got an amazon tablet. The options in the device will be called 'Fire 7 (7th Generation). The system is Fire OS version 5.4.0.1 (13 August 2017). The back of the device is shown on the back: SR043KL.
I would like to change the language in it and get rid of built-in apps by installing cyanogenmod (or something similar). To do root I tried to use: kingroot, kingo android rot, oneclickroot and so on.
I also looked here in the forum but I can not really deal with it. Is there something you can do with this version of the system?
As of now anything 5.3.2.1 and later cannot be rooted, nor downgraded to a rootable version, sorry.

Amazon return period is 30 days; might be a good option.

Fire 7" HD 1st Gen - which ROM to use for upgrade?

I'd like to upgrade this KF HD and I've downloaded a couple of ROM's but I don't want to brick this thing. It's rooted and I've got TWRP installed. I believe this is a first generation HD. It's got 16GB, wi-fi, only a front camera AND it has an HDMI port which I think the 2nd gen does not have. Model number is X43Z60, serial number begins with D025. Is this a Ford or Austin device? Will those ROM's be OK? I've downloaded the lineage-14.1 ROMS.
