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.

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!
Greetings fellow enthusiast. I would like to know if it is possible to safely root a Amazon Fire Tablet Gen 5 Fire OS 5.3.2.1? If so what method do you recommend? Thank you .

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.
So, I looked on the Amazon website and I saw that true system software known as "5.4.0.1" wasn't available for download, so I assume we can officially downgrade from that version, no higher, only 5.4.0.0. Fire OS 5.5 probably won't work.

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.
