How To Root The Kindle Fire HD 7"

ComputerSteve,

The download links here have been dead for a long time, the initial thread monitor seemed to abandon (probably became really busy) the thread so we have been monitoring it from time to time. If you need the Google Apps, you can download the entire pack here:

[ROOT][HOW TO] Install Google Apps with Speech Recognition Noob (Simple) Version

If you do not want to Root, just extract the package and install the APK. Some of the applications will NOT install without Root. The list of functional Apps without Root are:

1. Google Maps

2. Google Local

3. YouTube

4. Google Gmail (A Bit Buggy without Root)

5. Google Voice

6. Google Talk (Video does not work without Root)

7. Google Earth

All the Google Apps were designed to be installed as a System App, having said this, the Google Apps do not work perfectly unless you install them as Root. You can read through this thread to get a general idea of the known Bugs. If you have any issues, please post the question in the above thread since we only browse this thread twice a week and the above one is monitored hourly.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] TheHellsage:
So, the service APK part seems simple enough, but where did you get the other GApps from? Should I be using something like 1Mobile or AppBrain for those?

P.S. Still running the stock KFHD OS 7.2.3 right now, but I might try to root out in the next week or so. Can anyone help me figure out (or point me to a thread) how to dual-boot the standard KFHD OS and a stock JB ROM (if that's even possible)? Thanks so much!

Hi all

I've downloaded and installed the GoogleLoginService.apk & GoogleServicesFramework.apk and it let me log-in to Googleplay but everytime I try to access Play store is says Server Error - any suggestions?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] paohemaa:
Is this a root?

When i turned my kindle off then on, a recovery system came up. Usually, this only happens when you are rooting a device. I want clearance that this isn't a root before i do anything.

REPLY SOON!!!!!!

Can't get Talk to install, Facebook won't open

I installed both google framework .apks (Google Account Manager and Google Services Framework) and was able to get Gmail and Drive working properly, but now Facebook won't open even after I cleared its data and re-signed in. Also, I can't get Talk to install, it only says "Application not installed."

This is a non-rooted replacement Kindle, and I was able to get everything working on my previous kindle. Any tips?

EDIT: Got Facebook to work by uninstalling and reinstalling it. I still can't get Talk to install at all.

EDIT AGAIN: Woohoo I got Talk to work by copying it to the root of my SD card (rather than installing it from the Downloads folder. Weird. Oh well, everything works now. I'll leave this up in case anyone has the same problem.

Hi I have a kindle fire 2 and I can't open up the root explorer on es explorer, it keeps telling me that it can't be opened on my device. Is there anything else I can do? Besides that?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] MiniSid17:
Does anyone know if this will work on an HDX? Is it possible to get a google account and use play games services? Or do I have to root? Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] DivinityCycle:
There is currently no root method for the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (aka "Saturn"), but I own one of these and have had some success in getting Google apps working. I'm still working on getting it all figured out, will post my findings.

The long story short is that the package provided in the 1st post is out of date and does not work properly, but the basic idea DOES work. The tricky part is there are a huge number of different versions of Google Play Services, many of which don't work. I've been able to get most Google apps functional, just have a problem with my premium apps all complaining that they are unable to verify my licenses. I think this is because I used my phone to download the apps and then I transferred them over to my tablet. Need to test out if I can use Titanium Backup to fix my device ID on my phone to match that of my tablet. This might make the apps validate properly on both, just been busy and I keep forgetting to bring my tablet with me to work...

For now, I was able to get pretty much everything that uses your Google account to sync to work.

Drive, Gmail, Plus, Music, Calendar, Keep, Chrome Remote Desktop, Chrome, Authenticator, Books, Docs, and Sheets are fully functional as far as I can tell.

Camera works, but I have not tested video recording / playback.

YouTube was working, but somewhere along the way I lost video playback, need to make the time to test which is the latest version that still works. Account sync works already.

Wallet does not work at all, just throws and error about how you need to update the app at launch.

Hangouts does not work, just says "Signing in" forever.

Google Now works but the audio input does not, which makes it a lot less useful. This also means the Song / Audio Search feature cannot work.

3rd Party apps that are working for me:

YATSE (just no unlocker), MXPlayer Pro with the custom codec, LastPass, SwiftKey, Dominos (the pizza company not the game), Timely (with cloud sync).

Hue Disco, Plague Inc, and ComicRack (the non-free version) all fail to operate properly due to license checks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] irfan199:
I have kindle fire 2, I think. I've rooted my device and I've followed all the installation procedure and it runs fine. I'm not using any custom rom, just rooted stock rom. But Today I think there is software update on kindle (i don't know if its just the apps or other updates). And since then there is always "Google Play Services has Stopped" warning/popup over and over again. I've tried downgrading the play services, also reinstall all the steps in this guide but nothing seems working.

How to fix this? Thanks for the help.

Bluestacks is great if you want to turn your PC into huge Android device, but not best solution for testing like all you guys with real devices and bug reports.

maybe this short gameplay video will convince you to give it a try:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gm2racer:
I dropped my S3 a couple of weeks ago and got a hairline crack in the top glass. Although I probably could have lived with it, I decided to send it to Samsung to get it fixed to the tune of $178US (their standard display replacement cost). I got the phone back yesterday and have to say that QC at Samsung's repair dept leaves a lot to be desired.

First thing I noticed is that the sticker on the inside of the phone that has the IMEI must have been removed and re-applied. The sticker wasn't flat along the edges and had a bunch of air bubbles under the middle. While I understand the need to have the same IMEI #, I was really surprised that they wouldn't print a new one to stick on the phone.

When putting the phone back together, I noticed that the back cover would not fit flush to the rest of the phone. Upon further inspection this is due to the fact that a plastic cover on the bottom of the phone was not screwed all of the way down because a tab on that plastic cover was not fit properly into the middle plastic cover. I was able to fix this by loosening the screws along the bottom half of the phone, pushing the bottom plastic cover in to properly fit it and re-tightening the screws.

Finally when I turned the phone on, the language was set to Vietnamese. I had to fumble through the settings to change the language to English. While I understood that they were going to reset the phone, why would they set the default language to anything other than English?

While the screen was fixed, I'm somewhat surprised that there were so many other issues with the phone. I'm definitely not happy since I paid for the repairs.

Anybody else have a bad experience with Samsung repairs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hypertek:
Their repair center is probably in Vietnam, or maybe you even got a refurbished model and they just slapped your imei sticker on it. I think your just nitpicking this one, besides the sticker, it was a simple correction on your part.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
I think he has a right to be upset and I would call them to complain. If you send a device in for repair, after they fix everything on the device it should be sent back in the same condition or better. I would not want to be messing around with screws on my phone and wouldn't want stickers removed and replaced like crap. Who knows what else they f'd up inside the device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
I agree I would definitely call and complain. They may give you something for it or help you out in some way but companies need to know that the job isn't being done correctly

Tap'n
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hypertek:
ok my mistake, he can send it back to them and be without a phone again if he likes. Yes there shouldn't be issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flameinthefire:
just got mine back i had a broken screen as well. the only thing ive noticed is that my signal is very poor it was not like this before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Glad you like to get taken advantage of and settle for poor work when you are paying good money for something.

It is because people settle like yourself that the can get away with this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Or, one could just fix the reassembly issues themselves (if feasible) and ensure their feedback on rebuild quality issues are received by Support in a clear fashion - that won't let anyone "get away with" it.

I've found that good feedback can make a decent impression and sometimes gets a person's butt kicked to attempt doing their job a bit more in line with expectations. I don't like to be unfair, but feel feedback on specific quality control issues are certainly fair.

I know you can change the items, but is it possible to change the default icons on the lockscreen in any way? I prefer the stock Android icons over the TouchWiz icons. Can they be edited, or is there any way to change them?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
open the apps for which you want to change the icons using the apktool..you will find numerous guides on how to do it..

go to res>drawable-xhdpi

find ic_launcher_xxx or something like it

change it..

recompile it and push it back into your phone..

you are done..
[HTC Rezound] Aeroman787:
First of all I'd like to thank everyone on the Rezound forums, since I've learned tons just from reading through all the technical posts. I just have a few questions about installing a custom kernel on a stock ICS ROM (not the global leak), s-on, rooted, amon-ra recovery phone. (I plan on the BAMF vigor kernel from the forum)

1. Can I create a backup of just the stock kernel, instead of having to do my full nandroid restore if I don't like the kernel? If not, does anyone have a link to download the stock ICS (non-global) kernel?

2. Could I still receive the global OTA update when it comes out, or would I have to go back to the stock kernel in addition to re-flashing the stock recovery and re-locking the phone? I'd like to avoid manually flashing the RUU in case of any gremlins.

3. Do the custom kernels improve any sense UI lag, (such as the laggy notification bar pulldown, or the stuttering homescreen swiping after exiting an app or scrolling in a widget) or do they just improve app loading / boot time / game performance?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
1. Nandroid can't restore the kernel when you're s-on. Regardless the kernel installers also update/add files into /system, you would need to reverse that also, it's easier just to take a nandroid.

2. No way to tell at this time til the update comes out, not sure why the kernel would matter, it would get overwritten anyway.

3. Custom kernels give you more control of how the CPU operates (governors let you control how the CPU ramps under load, you can overclock with some kernels, etc etc) which in turn impacts everything on the phone. Fixing Sense lag would depend if it's the current CPU settings causing it or something else.

After owning the s3 for about 2 months. i can perfectly say that this is the best android phone available right now. If you want a phone thats will knock out every other mobile in the market get the s3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Communist99:
I would suggest waiting for the release of the updated version of the S3 which has LTE (international version) and 2GB RAM compared to 1GB on the current i9300.

If you don't care about LTE and the extra 1GB of RAM, it's still worth waiting as the current version of the S3 should fall in price.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhammad.ali123:
I have used Galaxy S , S II and SIII. Each one is worth every penny spent on it.

No existing device is better than SIII.

I you want to wait there will always be a qeue of more powerfull device coming and you will never be able to decide.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
I had been with my S II for exactly 9 months when the S III was released. I wrote here on XDA that I'd never move up to the S III because it wasn't worth it...

... that lasted until I played with the phone for 5 minutes in a store. I bought mine in the same day and don't regret a bit.

Get it, man! It will be the best phone you'll ever have.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacknet07:
Get it. I love my S3. Waiting for jelly bean.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keizero:
I've used SGS I, skip the SGS II, and now using the SGS III.

(Monster) Specs aside, the one thing why I decided to go with SGS III, and not it's competitor, is because I know it'll be a popular device like its predecessors.

From my experience using SGS I (a device I bought 2 years ago) popularity also contributed to your phone "lifespan". No official ICS or JB for i9000, but because it's popularity you'll find abundant custom rom with gazillion tweaks, mods, and kernel for it in community support forum like XDA.

Beside's that, I'm already quite familiar with the SGS environment such as the 3 magic combo, Odin, etc. Too lazy to learn from the start if I chose another phone :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Wait for the i9305 (S3 international Lte)

It will probably be a bit pricier than the current 500€ for the i9300 but comes with 2GB Ram and an additional Lte modem.

Btw the i9000 has Jellybean through Cm. Just not official crappy-touchwiz jellybean =)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keizero:
Yes that's what I meant on my post before, no ics & jb from samsung but alot of custom one from community, but didn't type the "official" part :D. Already edited that one :o
