Hi
I have a Amazon Fire HD 8 (7.Gen) and i want to install LineageOS on it.
I searched in the forum but i am not sure if LineageOS or any other custom rom would be possible on my tablet.
Could you help me out?

IF you have a hd 8 (2017) it is a douglas. First you must unlock, then install lineage. You can verify what your device is by doing a adb shell. Also you should be in this thread for the HD8. This thread is for the fire 7

Thanks!
I will take a look at the threads there

Just curious if anyone has been able to get gapps running on the 10?
This forum is only for the amazon fire 7" 5th gen (2015)

Hello all i just created an acc. because i'm interested in buying a fire 7 directly from amazon, so i think it will come with the newest software update, im not sure. So, i want to root it and install cm 13, can it still be done on 2016 models or should i look into another tablet? Thank you all.

Really? 10 sec of research would have answered the root question; perhaps a couple minutes more for CM 13. No, I will not spoon feed your curiosity as you are obviously literate having composed the original post.

Don't think 2016 models have even been announced yet...

If you receive a model with FireOs 5.3.1.0 then you are screwed.
If you receive a model with FireOs 5.1.2 -> 5.1.4 you can root and put custom ROM (Nexus, CM12.1, etc.). You will not be able to put CM13 as the bootloader of the Fire is locked and thus custom ROMs will be limited to Lollipop 5.1x
If you receive a model with older FireOs then you are even luckier because you may have access to a custom recovery on your fire that would ease installation of custom ROMs.

Did you purchase the tablet? What version did it come with? And where did you buy it from?

Hi all,
I understand that it is not possible to root Amazon Fire 8 HD 7th Gen running 5.6.2.0.
I assume that also means there is no way to install a custom more native stock android rom on these devices?
Would anyone be able to explain in simple terms what has Amazon done to these devices that makes it so hard to break so we can root and custom ROM them?
Thank you in advance

Good coding and testing practices. Kudos to Amazon and Google for wringing out the 'slop' in Android and its derivatives which opened the door to root (and therefore security) exploits.
Custom rom
Just want to get it confirmed. if you have Amazon Fire 8 HD aor Fire 7, both 7th gen with Amazon's latest upgrade. 5.6.2 i think it is. is there any way to get a custom ROM on? for example [ROM][AOSP][LMY49M] Fire Nexus ROM [02 JUN 2018] ?
Not quite sure i understand correctly if i need to root it before I can custom rom it
Thx

The only Amazon tablet that can be rooted at the moment is the HD 10, 2017.
Interested in converting Kindle Fire 8 into Android device. The procedure I found sent me to this website.
