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.
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.
Hi, does anyone have a link location to download FireOS 5.4.0.0 / FireOS 5.4.0.1 for Fire HD 10.1 (7th gen)? I'm currently updated to 5.6.0.0 and wanted to downgrade to FireOS 5.4.0.0.
I managed to snag a few 10.1 on the FireOS 5.4.0.0 and was able to use the Bloatware removal tool.
Thank you and much appreciated

Downgrading often bricks fire tablets (at least the 2017 models). I believe 5.6 in particular cannot be downgraded, and attempting it may break your tablet.

One must be cognizant of which models can be safely downgraded and to which builds. There are claims 7th and 8th gen models can be successful rolled back from 5.6.0.0 to 5.4.0.0 via 5.4.0.1. I have seen no similar claims for HD 10s.
As for firmware you will need to look elsewhere as this forum is for 5th/7th gen Fire 7 models only. The HD8/10 forum would be a good starting point.

thank you for the info. and sorry, didn't realize I was in the wrong forum.
will read up more there.
So, lately I've seen a ton of threads for 5th and 7th gen tablets on how to unlock the boot loader and downgrade. Just wondering if there's anything out there for the 4th gen tablets.
Thanks
Edit : running 5.6.1.0
(Foolishly updated, had a early build before)

Did you used "search" before? I asssume that NO.
This is the wrong forum and please specify your model. HD6 2014? HD7 2014? HD8.9 2014?
