Hi guys, I recently bought amazon fire 8 hd. I read a few posts, help me understand if I understand well?
things you can do with FIRE os 5.4.0.1:
change launcher
install playstore
remove advertising.
things I can not do with Fire os 5.4.0.1:
root
change recovery
change rom
return to a version of previous Fire Os
excuse my English
Yes I'd like to know that too. Don't think you can root 5401 at this time

Thanks.
P/S: My KDFHD7's current version is 11.3.2.2

The closest you are going to get is kindle water beta. As of yet we have not been able to exploit the bootloader so flashing a custom recovery and bootimg is out of the question right now so we are very limited in what we can do.
Hello I am new to these forums and I have looked everywhere but can't find how to root and turn this kindle into an android tablet. I have a kindle fire hd 3rd generation 4.5.2 serial number 00D2 0708 3522 07L8. If someone can lead me in the right direction i would appreciate it greatly and thank you for your time.
Please all I ask is a simple answer if it's rootable and where on this forum can I find where to root this device
I'm after the same with no joy
So do you think there is no root for this version yet?
Can't be done

Only for soho. If you try to do it on another device it'll probably get bricked, so don't.
Darn
I purchased the KFHD 7 for my daughter after reading a bunch of good reviews. Didn't realise it had the crappy proprietary Fire OS on it until after the fact. Can't wait until someone figures out a root method to set her free!
I have a Kindle Fire HDX 7"
Bought this kindle fire a few months ago thinking I could root the device which I did ok. Then I went looking for instructions to install Google Play Store and Google Play Services as I hadn't had to install Google Store before. That was a few weeks ago. Since then my kindle has updated it's system to 4.5.2. After that I couldn't root the kindle at all never mind installing Google Play on it! When will someone figure out how to root this kindle and install Google Play on it! I am passing the point of no return with this kindle. If I meddle with it any more it will be unusable!!!!! Grrrrrr!

Please tell us how you rooted your Kindle. I guess many would be happy to root it in stock condition and then disable updates.
I read it has a Mediatek board. Have you tried MTK droidtools?
How did you do that?

Finding a bunch of reviews that don't mention that the fire locks you into a closed ecosystem is quite a feat. And none that do mention it. Kudos for the finessed search skills. Well done!
Reading reviews not noticing that Fire OS may be a bit different from stock Android...
Anyways, has anybody yet managed to root the KFSOWI 4.5.5 version without the special cable?
Someone told me using KingRoot (normal app) may help but it doesn't work for me. There MUST be some skilled developer being able to root it easily...
Does not work on kindle fire 3rd gen. tablet.
best option for now
Best option for now, would probably be to downgrade your os before this one and disable updates till this one is rooted. i found the update file versions. Im gonna try it now.
Hello, I have the Kindle Fire 3rd gen(2013) v. and in the past I have rooted and such but the new Fire OS 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 Updates took that all away. Well, I read yesterday on this forum that there was a way to root Fire OS 4.5.1 so if someone can help me figure out a way to downgrade I will be most thankful(I know there is a thread on here about it I just can't find it anymore...). I apologize if I posted this in the wrong place. The Kindle's forum's are a bit confusing to me on here. Thanks for the help!
Root
Ok I managed to find the thread on XDA again and managed to get amazon to downgrade my kindle to Fire Os 3._._(I cant remember ) now my software version in the settings say 11.3.2.6. Can anyone help me root this version?
Hello,
i bought the kindle fire HD 3rd gen from 2013. I rooted it, but the update to OS 4.5.5 removed the root permissions. Is there still a way to root it or do I have to downgrade it? If I have to, how can I do it? I only found tutorials for other devices or OS.
You're in the wrong forum. Try here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd
But I don't have the HD 6 or 7, just the HD-Version without cam and with dual-core-processor.
This forum is for the $50 7-inch 2015 (5th gen) fire tablet.

Please ask there, about this device.

Hi, I know what to look for before asking.
I would like to know, if someone has a download link of the version Fire Os 5.3.2.1 for the amazon fire 7 7gen
I ask it here because I've looked everywhere and I can not find it.
Thank you very much

I don't believe Amazon publicly posted that build which came preloaded on the initial wave of 7th gen devices. 5.4.0.0 was the first downloadable build for the Fire 7 (aka 7th gen).
