All you did was the option one on the script for root with restore? If so what version of the script do you have? Shoot maybe you can upload yours some where who knows maybe your copy got messed up in some small way that is letting it work (hell i don't know ive seen stranger things happen in my 20 years working with electronics)

google play wont work on kindle fire hd 8.9

hi, i have tried many many times to get google play on my kindle fire hd 8.9 but for some reason that i am not sure of, it just wont work. my kindle is rooted. i get stuck when i have to transfer the vending.apk to system/app. i long press on it in the downloads folder of the SD card, then i copy it, then i go to system/app and press paste. it never pastes all the way, it always stops at either 0 or 21%. it exactly says "Copy Task Failed" on top and on the bottom it says"! Failed to copy the file"

Please help i have no clue what to do

Hi,

I followed the manual steps, but in step 11, when I try signing in with my Google credentials, it just shows the progress bar and after a few minutes it says that it couldn't connect to the Google servers

Any advice?

Cheers

I'm having the same issue. I did a factory reset, and then tried the first Aide method after that, but when the files in First Aide try to transfer to the device it says the transfer failed because it ran out of room.

Success with 8.9HD on Vers. 8.4.9

I have just recieved a new refurbished Fire HD 8.9 and got it rooted OK. I am also having these same issues, but thought if Amazon had locked size of system/app folder with this latest release, could I remove some apps from this folder and then maybe it would let me paste those files into the system/app folder. I moved the "MarketIntentProxy.apk" as stated in op and also moved "OfficeSuite.apk" and "TalkBack.apk". After that I resumed the copy of the files listed, followed instructions to the letter, and success!!!:good: :laugh: Google Play Store works and I can install apps. Will install an Office Suite and TalkBack app from Google Playstore. Hope this helps others with the latest update from Amazon.... until the next dreaded update!:crying:​

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jeffreythorne92:
Hi, first off thank you so much for giving such an easy to follow guide.

I followed the guide, worked perfectly.

Then i tried using the Textplus app. It stops immediately upon being tapped, as does Google hangouts when I tap the dialer.

I've looked online and found it to be a result of com.android.phone having a conflict over contacts i think it was.

Removing the Google stuff fixes it.

Maybe removing the Amazon equivalent would work?

But I dont want to remove my Amazon connection, I enjoy downloading Prime movies and such.

I just need google services so I have Sheets available to me.

Any way to fix this that you know of?

Thank you for your time!

KFHD 7" - 2012 Edition - OS 7.5.1 - Google Play Store "Unusable"

As of today, on a Kindle Fire HD 7" (2012 Edition) with OS 7.5.1 this method does not lead to a functional Play Store :(

Once all the operations are concluded the Play Store is able to launch and synchronize: but after 5 minutes some sort of "update" comes trough and the error "Google Play Services has stopped" starts. There is no way to get rid of this error, in my case, neither with KFFirstAide (whom developer I would like to thank for the effort and the great deal of time he has invested in to it) nor with the "manual" procedure.

After trying six different approaches and strategies with also different versions of PlayStore I have decided to move up and I have installed CyanogenMod 11. :cool:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] CSX321:
I was able to reinstall the last working version of Play Services, then prevent it from updating itself. The store works for now, but I'm sure eventually there will be some update to it that requires a newer Play Services, and it will stop working.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] permutations:
First, thank you so much for this! There are many tutorials and apps for doing this, and not one of them worked for me until I found yours.

I have a question/puzzle... I didn't install Phonesky.apk right away because it was a lower version than what was already installed and I couldn't figure out why you were saying it was a higher version. Then on about page 3, you mentioned in a comment that it puts an option to update in the menu.

Here's the weird part... I opened up my existing version of Google Play Store to see what was in the existing menu, and discovered it had automagically updated itself to Version 5.6.8 - and, happily, it still works fine. I'm not exactly sure how this happened. I did remove the app that made Amazon the default store.

The strangest part is that this is a higher version number than is on my Nexus 10 running Android 5.1.1. I have v5.5.12 on that device. My phone, running Android 5.0.2, has the same version of the Google Play Store that I now have on my Kindle Fire HD 1, 7".

I'm very happy it still works!!

One other note (I realize this is a little disorganized)... I didn't have room to put vending.apk in /system/app so I uninstalled the Kindle FreeTime app (which I don't need) to make room. Perhaps this is why it was able to update without error? I'm just guessing.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] shekhar.0810:
google play service stopping

i tried as mentioned above cleared all data then rebooted.. not worked..

so deleted vending.apk restarted >> copied it again to system/app then installed the play store updates.. still same issue>> Google Play services has stopped.

did factory reset (and here lost the file kept in /sdcard/Download/..proxy..apk-- pls share the file ) and followed the process works for sometime then again GP services stops.. very annoying pls help.

deleted the google play services but still able to download the apps this is working as of now..

Hi Technoob321,

substitute the word 'and' for the word 'plus' and it should make better sense :)

How did you prevent Play Service from updating?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] CSX321:
I used the method from the last answer (by user Olda) from here, that involves creating a folder with the same name as the apk you want to block from installing.

My Fire auto-updated a few days ago, though, and I lost root again. :-/

Hey, people.

I found this thread/site using Google when I was searching for information regarding Kindles and rooting said devices. I went through this thread, plus many others similar to this thread or directly linked by users on this post, and whilst I had difficulty getting my Kindle rooted using Kingo from my PC, I used the Android version and ran it directly on the device and had very good results. Now I'm searching for a decent loader that I can use as a default display to make it a li'l purdier to use.

Many, many thanks to everybody who contributed to this and the other threads. Extremely helpful; clear instructions, most problems have already been asked and answered and most of the users are very polite, apart from the odd sarcastic remark, (rarely taken too far, though, and who doesn't love that kinda thing every now and then?), and very accepting of new users

*Squints eyes really tightly and

wishes

that this is the case*

.

I'm hoping that I'll eventually be a more active member and that I'll be accepted, despite my chemical make-up being 22% water, (yes, I know it's usually 57% but I get really bad cotton-mouth), 11% Hydrogen, 9% Oxygen, 10% Other random elements and 48% Sarcastium.

Anyways, I shall catch you guys later and will carry on reading through the posts here, trying to remember the rules, and will more than likely find most of the questions I have already addressed and solved.

Respectfully

In Step 16, I do not see the file /system/app/MarketIntentProxy.apk . My Fire (on OS 5.1.1) is rooted. I am using ES Explorer with hidden files visible. I also tried to find it using a Terminal Emulator app, and SU-ing to root. Still, no dice.

I know the file is there somewhere, because the Amazon Appstore still intercepts (other app's) attempts to install from Play Store.

Any suggestions?

Hey, there you are again! I just posted another reply regarding your question to purchase one.

It is nice that your wife has one, this will allow you to get a better feel of the Kindle before you

buy one. The only one that is close in the same price range is the Nexus 7 but the sound is

much better on the Kindle, so if you are a movie user, you will be happier with the Kindle.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 successfully rooted and Googled!

You guys rock!! I have been trying unsuccessfully for three days to root my Kindle Fire HD with 8.9" display. For other novices like me here is the problem I was having with the driver:

The driver appeared to be installed fine. I could navigate to the SD card in the Kindle using explorer and the Kindle was listed in the device manager and listed with the appropriate driver. However, the Bin4ry v17 would not see the device (check using cmd prompt and navigating to "stuff\adb devices" it would not list the device. (I would also get a failure message every time I installed the driver from Amazon.) Using the cmd prompt (right click as an administrator to run cmd) I navigated to the driver installation file. DO NOT right click the driver file and run as administrator in Windows 7 explorer. This successfully installed the driver with no error message after installation of the Kindle driver. Follow the instructions in step A below. Carefully following the instructions in step B below to root the Kindle, I installed the driver a second time (in the same manner using cmd prompt) with the Kindle on and attached. Rebooted both. Now the Kindle was seen by Bin4ry software. I am using Windows 7 and did not any of the alternate drivers listed. The Amazon driver worked when installed in this manner.

Again for new guys like me to install the Amazon driver: 1) click windows start button, 2) in the "Search programs and files" box type "cmd" (don't hit enter or search), 3) the program "cmd.exe" should be listed at the top. Right click that and select "Run As Administrator"

I am so happy to have my Android apps again (used to have a Droid). So many of them that I use are not available in the Amazon store for the Kindle.

Although "Play Step 13 and 15" below did not specify moving those to the system\app folder and changing the permissions, I did it any way because the instruction for all the other files said to do that. I also did not do 'Play Step 16" to eliminate the Market requests. I'm not sure why I need to do that. Everything seems to work fine. If it's a problem I can always come back and do it.

Thanks again for putting this out there. I am VERY appreciative of the people that share their knowledge with the world.

Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3

alecjacobryan,

Thank you again for the kind comments.

Play Store Step 13 and 15 is Installing the Google Play Store Upgrades, normally an install is sufficient. It is only

necessary to move Vending.apk, then steps 13 and 15 upgrades the Vending.apk to the latest Google Play Store

Version 3.10.10 - if you are seeing 3.10.10 under Stetting, then what you did is OK, there should not be any

anomalies.

Google Play Store "Suddely Stops" or Amazon Store still Default

To All -

There are a number of applications that automate the install of Google Play Store. We are finding a large

number of customers complaining that the Amazon Store remains the default store no matter what they do.

This is due to a old version of Google Play Store. Please go to our above response, there are instructions on

How to: Upgrade the Google Play Store. Also, if you open Google Play Store and it "Suddenly Stops" - this

is, in large part, the cause of a corrupt Vending.apk - go back to the beginning of this thread and follow the

How to: Install Google Play Store. Any other issues can be posted here, we usually respond in 1 to 3 hours.

We are here from 10am to 10pm PST GMT -8. If you have an emergency, see our Contact Information, our

number is listed with XDA Developers.

As I posted in the first thread (dealing with root), I'm having issues with finding "system" directory, and because of this, I cannot move the .apk files in step three. Did something not extract correctly in the rooting process?

Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3

tipperbeanfad,

I am sorry if we missed your request. If we do not respond in 1 hour, send us a PM.

When you installed ES File Explorer, did you go into "Root Settings" and check

all the options? Did you get a Superuser Pop up asking to "Allow" Root Access?

If you are using Root Explorer, did you press on the "Mount RW" on the upper

Right side of the application? How to navigate, to this point when using ES

File Explorer, is to notice at the top of ES File Explorer, do you see /sdcard/?

If yes, press Up once, you should now see "local /" at the top. Now click on

the system folder, you should now see "local /system/". Now click on

the apps folder, you should now see "local /system/apps". Did this help?

If not, send us a PM with your contact number and time range to call.

I'm Kindle noob, but familiar w/ Android and linux. WIll applying all of these changes cause any problems when Amazon pushes out an update? It seems like for a rooted device the update applies successfully and you just lose root. Hopefully it's the same when enabling Google Play. I just rooted my KFHD and did a manual transfer of some saved games into /data/data successfully. Lots of good info here!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Google Play with Amazon Store

gnahc79,

Great question. No, if you do not move otacerts.zip there will be no effects on the updates. The

primary concern is that Amazon will eventually attempt to completely lock down the ability to

Root. Let's face it, even if the lock down the Kindle, we will find a way to Root the device! When

you enable Google Play and Install a new Launcher, the old interface and apps remain 100%

functional and intact. Google Play Store and Amazon Store commingle well together, no issues

or problems with either application.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] gnahc79:
thanks for the info. My concern is the moving of MarketIntentProxy.apk outside of system/app. My concern is if the Amazon update does some sort of sanity/system check on /system/app and errors out with either an error message (ok) or soft brick (not as ok :) ). From my experience with Android phones I've seen that messing with stock apps can cause a warning+failed update or soft brick.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3

gnahc79,

Just FYI. All our guides have been tested on over 20 Kindle Fires and we wait for 90 days before

posting these guides. This virtually eliminates bugs and problems. Having said this, you can

be 100% assured that moving the MarketIntentProxy.apk to /sdcard/Download has no short term

or long term issues on the OS or other applications. We take the time to look at scripts and programs

that may attempt to call the MarketIntentProxy.apk service and suddenly "Stop!". Again, do not

worry, we do enormous amount of testing on every modification. So you may proceed with

absolute assurance, just follow the steps closely. If you do find yourself backed into a corner

due to a mistake we offer free unlimited support to the entire XDA Community, this includes

phone support if needed.

Awesome and great instructions! Only hiccup was the Facebook app installed from Amazon app store was force closing immediately after installing google play. Uninstall fb and reinstall from google play seems to fix that. Also I realized that none of the apps installed from Google Play are available in Free Time since Free Time only looks up apps in the Amazon app store. I have 1-2 reading apps from google play (not available in the amazon app store) that I want enabled in Free Time for my son. Very minor issue :).
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Google Play with Amazon Store

gnahc79,

Yes, sometimes there are corrupt downloads, it is great that you made the decision to remove and

reinstall, this solves the problem most of the time, as you saw. Free Time will probability not allow

Google Play Store items to be enabled since there is a backdoor agreement with Amazon Store

and Google Play, so they have probably locked down this capability. I am still willing to spend time

and research then test the scenario. I would need the name of the items to be able to create your

scenario. Just let me know.
