Hi,
is there a thread/document/wiki or something else which sum up all the known details how Amazon is lockdown the Fire?

I'm guessing probably not, but is there a way to get Kindle Fire market apps onto another Android device? I ask because I saw that there's a version of Scrabble that has play-against-the-computer and hopefully no ads (it's a paid app). I don't understand why EA doesn't have this in the Android Market...it would sell well I'm sure.
As its a paid app only for the Kindle Fire, anyone posting it here or providing instructions on how to get it without paying (not in your question I know) would be breaking XDA rules.
My only advice would be to see if there is a build.prop edit you can make to change your device signature to that of the Kindle Fire and try the market again.
Thanks. I guess that's a new thing for me to learn.
It would be great to have something similar to Impostah on WebOS. It would also help to load apps you know should work but the market doesn't.
Head over to the Kindle Fire forum and see it there is a system dump or similar. If you have root on your SGT then changing the build.prop would take seconds. You just need to know the values first.
Thanks! I'll do that.
what about free apps?
I'm also wondering this but for the free apps - most notably magazines!
I hate that the magazines I read are kindle fire only or kindle for iPad only! how annoying is that?
Is it possible for the kindle fire magazine apps (like vanity fair for example) which are free but require in-app purchases or a print subscription to get on android tabs?
Just out of curiousity has anyone heard of anyone else working on rooting the new kindle fire?
Havnt seen much of any activity on v. 10.1.3 work at all...
I know I can't do it myself so I'd like to know if anyone is even working on it yet xD
Cant wait to get a full port of any android operating system on this thing...
The new kindle fire wont even let you use a launcher so this book shelf thing is looking pretty lame...
Anyways back to the main subject at hand here;
I'm not a coder and I most liekly never will be, Although heres what I can offer; If anyone needs a tester just shoot me a message or post here!
I'm on system Version 10.1.3 by the way.
I am interested on this too. Thanks.

I am confused. What device are we talking about here?
Kindle fire HD 7" has already been rooted. If you are talking about the bootloader, it has not been cracked yet, so no custom roms.
If you are asking about the KF 2nd gen, then this is the wrong section.

The KF2 got merged with 7" KFHD a couple of days ago.

Yep posted a while ago, I'm pretty sure they merged them because most kfhd exploits work on kf2

k, didn't notice the merge. Saw the sticky this morning.
I just rooted my Kindle fire (non HD) using the HD method.
Worked perfect the first time.
Im not a coder or a developer but I got it to work for me
My brother bought a kindle fire hd 7" from a guy on golsn. After getting home the guy reported it stolen and my brother's kindle won't allow him to do much. After contacting the company they told him he would have to file a police report and have proof of the purchase. Basically my brother is out of luck on that aspect... Does anyone know a work around for this or can at least point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Does it have a password lock if so there's not much you can do if it has a account on it just log it off and make your own Amazon account then it should work fine

No, it has no account currently and it will not allow him to sign up for an account or let me add my already currently working account. It just says error when we try.
Sounds like there's not much you can then

If you buy a factory cable, you might be able to boot the kindle into fastboot and factory reset it. I am not 100% sure about that and maybe someone else can confirm, but I think that is your best bet.
Yes, if I could get to fastboot I could do something. With his kindle fire. Anyone have any idea how to get kindle fire hd's into fastboot?
Has anyone considered or know if it is possible to build a rom for this based on the stock kindle fire hd? If so I would be interested in trying.

I read this and thought it was sort of a goofy question at first but now you've got me thinking...
What happens if you install a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 ROM on the Nook HD+? For that matter, has anyone tried a stock Kindle Fire HD 8.9 restore? I know there are boot loader differences but I'm thinking leave the Nook HD+ bootloader or (working) custom recovery intact. Just the ROM itself. They're both OMAP 4 based - granted the Kindle has cameras and the Nook has the micro SD slot but they're pretty close to the same hardware-wise.
I'm intrigued to think I might be able to have my Nook think it's actually a Kindle Fire HD 8.9...
Thoughts?
Browsing around on the Kindle 8.9 Dev forum found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41301028
It mentions there being some secret data related to Amazon registration, along with serial # of the device. Given that, its probably not nearly as simple as getting a stock KF 8.9 ROM running on the Nook. You'd likely need a backup of the partition that post is referencing too. Also, could be that the Nook is using that area for something.
Very complex mess ... If you did happen to own both devices I guess you might be able to make your Nook spoof being your Kindle. Otherwise your best case I can imagine is your Nook is spoofing being someone else's Kindle which Amazon & that other Kindle's actual owner might not appreciate...

Ive been searching for a way to download Kindle Fire specific apps from the Amazon store to my Nook HD plus running cyanogen. Ive been "purchasing" the free Amazon app of the day for weeks, but a lot of them will only run on the kindle fire. You can purchase the app, but you cant download the kindle specific app unless you have a kindle fire.
As an alternative, has anyone tested downloading a kindle fire specific app, and copying the files over to another android device? Would the app still run?

Can you take a picture of your tablet from the front and the back? I can probably tell from that. If it's a KFHD 7 (2012 Model) you can do all sorts of amazing stuff with it, if it's a 2013 model you still have hope, there are a few stuff that can be done. Send the pics and I'll help you out more ^_^
