Was the stock rooted zip ever posted anywhere because I can't find it
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mreniigma:
No thanks. Looked in to it, a bit too much trouble for my taste. I'd prefer the straight LG software or an OTA. I just dont get LGNPST.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] roguejam:
Only one I found through xbox semi-bricked my phone. So I'd hold off on it for now. Had to use LGNPST anyway to fix it, and it worked fine. It upgraded (did not wipe data) V8 to V9, although I did lose root.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bizzshow26:
Yeah tried that one and had to blind navigate through the bootloader menu to get to recovery. Talk about a pain in the butt

You have to do that anyways. Its down 3 times then power.

First and foremost, thank you for all of these tutorials! Got my KFHD7 rooted perfectly!

I just followed the steps for the Google Play Store and got it installed.

EDIT:

Got Play Store working, I hadn't put the Vending.apk in /system/app. Whoops!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] mckennascole:
I can't use google play store as default appstore, can I? I mean I really want it to open app links from within the applications but I couldn't get it doing it. Everything is installed and working nicely but can't make it the default external market links app
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Google Play to be the default Market

Did you use our ICS Google Play Store App? If you open Google Play Store, go into Settings, what version is your Google Play Store?

Did you complete this step?

Play Step 16 Finally, to eliminate Amazon from intercepting any Market requests, thus allowing Google Play to be the default Market. Using ES File Explorer move /system/app/MarketIntentProxy.apk to /sdcard/download - Reboot the Kindle
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] mckennascole:
it was 3.10.10 before following these steps but now that you warned I realize it's 3.5.16. I don't understand. I'll install 10.10 again.

yes I moved it to another folder long ago...

edit: when i use the 3.8.17 here it updates to 3.8.17 but when I use the phonesky it says 3.5.16

edit #2: ok I upgraded it to 3.10.10 and everything works including play store as the default. thanks...

How To: Root the Kindle Fire 7" HD with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version

sounds like you lost Root.

ES File Explorer calls to the Superuser.apk when you click on the Root Options.

Are you sure you have Root? Are you running the latest version of ES File Explorer?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] fearwillkeepus:
I had to manually allow ES in superuser. But I'll try running the apk you provided.

IDK how I could have lost root, seeing as I tried doing this moments after successfully rooting.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Follow Up - Possible Lost Root

fearwillkeepus,

By the way, I like your Avatar. Yeah, I suspect you are using an older version of ES File Explorer since that is a known bug.

If not, download our Root Checker Basic utility to test both the Superuser.apk and the su binary. Respond with your

results.

Google Play Store Upgrade 3.10.10

We just received an update today.

Google Play Store has been updated to Version 3.10.10

Look under settings, what is your store version?

You may download the update here Phonesky.apk

directly to your Kindle using Opera, Mozilla, Silk or Dolphin. Once the download

has completed, choose "Open", then choose "Install"

Let the install complete, the open the Google Play Store, under settings. It should

now show version 3.10.10
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Sn8kbordin:
I had Play Store working before and I rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9".

What happened was my 4 year old niece tried using Kindle but she didn't know the pin so she just pressed and held some buttons. I think it was power button. After that Kindle took very long to start, asked me to login into Amazon again and all apps were gone. I think she factory reset it. The root stayed.

Does this method make it persistent or will I have to redo everything if it were to happen again? Maybe there could be something automated to get me back to where I am now with backing up and restoring or something.

Thanks a lot! The KF First Aide tool worked like a charm. I disabled OTA updates, installed the Play Store and made it as default :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Klown80:
I have a Kindle Fire on 6.3.2 and I managed to get it rooted ok, then when I went to install Play Store everything worked ok except it did not create a shortcut to Play Store in my apps list. For me to access Play, I have to go into ES file explorer and then choose the play app in my Sdcard/download folder, then I tap it and choose to install and replace the old app (same app though) and the it gives an option to open. I cant access Play any other way than that. Also, I was thinking of a reset but wanted to ask anyone that knows more about these kindles than I do if there is a fix without having to reset. I cant use Firstaid package because I am connected via hotspot on phone right now and it would take FOREVER to download that 450MB file so right now I am stuck with only manual method. Again , Play Store works and I can download apps but it doesnt show in my apps list. My apps list even shows apps I have downloaded using Play but it will not show the Play Store icon.

Any ideas?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] ironbesterer:
Appreantly, the new ES doesn't have a way to change the permissions. I have tried every option within ES, and I cannot get a way to change them. I try to copy the files to system/app, and obviously it won't let me because the permissions cannot be changed.

I am getting sick of having so many problems with this device. I took 20 minutes to get these files onto my Kindle because USB does not work. I cannot get any of those recovery tools (including KFFA) to work. I am giving up hope on this device. I'm getting ready to sell it to get a Nexus 7. All of this trouble is not worth my time anymore.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] wicozani:
In ES File Explorer settings menu, scroll down and enable the last 4 settings (Root Explorer, Gesture, Show Hidden Files and Thumbnails). Then click on Root Explorer and a dialogue box with options will pop up; you want to select "Mount R/W". To copy, move, etc. files between \system and other areas (e.g., SD card) you need to set the RW circles and hit "Ok". When you are finished, make sure to go back to Root Explorer\Mount R/W and set the circles back to Read Only (RO).

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

Worked like a charm on my 8.9" Kindle Fire HD, particularly after I figured out how to mount the \system to read/write, and that permissions (for APKs) are under Properties! :good:

Please need your help cant root using the ES3 latest software states in unable to run this service.

Have the Kindle HD Fire 7 inch.

Cant move the vending file to the system/app as copy protection is on and I gather this must be to do with the root issue.

Can anyone give me clear instructions please to override this issue as it's for my partners daughter for xmas thank you :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] evilpenguin123:
I have this same problem. I went through and cleared all data from everything google and still nothing. The only kind of success ive has is with copying the newest Play Store.apk from my phone and porting it to the KFHD7. That allowed me to go through and browse apps, but the second I wanted to install one it just force closed it and not force closes it upon opening play store, just like the one linked in the directions did.

Any assistance on this would be appreciated.

Phonesky is an old version of Google Play. Use this tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 That will straiten you out.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Immortel:
Thanks a lot !! It work like a charm and upgrade to the lastest version of the Play Store =)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Tarrnation:
The first time I tried this, it didn't install the old app store (probably because I tried another method previously that failed) but I decided to re-root and try it again and it worked flawlessly the second time around. Patience is key as it takes a few minutes to kick in after every reboot and it helps to temporarily remove any lockscreen/pattern/pin code while the batch program is running. Be sure to follow the instructions

closely

and re-read through them a few times to make sure you got it right!

Major props to the OP for giving me a happy wife! Her Kindle Fire HD now has the latest Google Play Store and she is so excited that she can now play Candy Crush with the dream world (lol) along with many other games/apps that are unavailable or are supposed to be free but are not on Amazon.

Thanks! :)

Same Problems but unsure how the link helps

I'm having the same problem, my version is 11.3.1.0 and haven't been able to get googleplay on my Kindle Fire HD 7" and it is already rooted. As you stated, phonesky isn't working because it's too old. You mentioned that your link was a fix for it but whenever I go to it, it's just another root tool and when I start it up, there isn't any options for googleplay, just rooting it. With an already rooted Kindle, I've already tried the steps before and have google framework installed and all that along with the vending apk. I can get the store to open in it's first stage and log in but after I log in, it closes. From there I cannot update it and am unclear as to what I can do in your link to get it updated. Thank you very much LinearEquation, you have been very helpful and it seems as though other people were smart enough to follow your advice previously.. I'm just a bit dull I guess :/
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
You can install Google Play on your 2013 Kindle Fire HD but it's for window shopping only. Any attempts to download from the play store will freeze the tablet and require a reboot. Really the play store serves no real purpose on the new KFHD 7, at the moment anyway. 1mobile and f DROID are a couple spots to get apks from.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SpinnZ916:
Thanks for the spots. I was able to use 1mobile to get a couple apps that worked such as clash of clans and freekindle and supersu. I need to try the other place then because I am unable to get a googleplay that even works, I could never get it to really open or search anything anyways. What I really want to get working is an app called Parallel Kingdom but it doesn't run when I get it through 1mobile.com; I'm a little disappointed to find out that googleplay won't work on my kindle and I hope I can get other programs to work then.

Should I allow kindle to push updates again?

Thanks again LinearEquation, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and actually care about problems that need not concern you :D
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
You're welcome :) Glad to help. I would not get an OTA update or it might break your root. If that happens you may have to wait for a new root method as updates can include patches to previous exploits.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dEADwEIRD:
Finally! Its no longer just a poo kindle

THANK YOU!

I have been pulling my hair out for 3 days now trying to root and get google play. You guide is fool proof. Whatever I did wrong before, no matter because this did it all for me! All I had to really do was press 'Any Key'!!!

It was around 4 months since I last entered the google play market.

Hi,

for everyone who have problems with KFFirstAide:

Download the Rar (attached) and unrar the RunMe.bat to your KFFirstAide - install dir.

I have replaced all wget - commands with wget --no-check-certificate commands...

Then the RunMe.bat can download the needed images and tools again...

I have a Kindle Fire 8.9" HD.

Trying to follow this to get Google Play Store installed. I still am not successful. I hope someone can help with this!

Any thoughts on where I went wrong?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] sslayer1:
I get the exact same thing. When I tried to move the APKs manually, it looks like the /system filesystem is about 99.9% full even before the first of these APKs.

Did one of Amazon's updates [intentionally] fill up this filesystem so that we can't put the Play store and other things on?

Kindle 8.9 version 8.4.9_user_4952820
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] :
Seems that 7.4.9 and 8.4.9 may have patched root access. Should this be the case those that have the update will have to downgrade the bootloader to 7.2.3 with a fastboot cord first.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Nanaki-seto:
So with no fastboot cable there's no way to re root and or install a custom rom recovery etc?

Ive seen posts about kicking the kindle fire hd 8.9 to fastboot with out a fastboot cable. But when i try it it does not do so.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] wire55:
You are correct, you cannot use a fastboot cable on the 8.9", it does absolutely nothing for it, it is needed for the 7" though. I don't know how to kick the 8.9" into fastboot as I don't own it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] benee16:
I have a kindle hd 8.9 which was rooted and had google play until the 8.4.9 update, which bypassed the OTA block I put on when I rooted previously. I had to stock restore because I could not re-root and my kindle was running slowly. Now I am having the same problems with Google Play. I was able to get a very old version of Google Market working, but it will not download anything probably because there's no space. I don't understand why Amazon won't just let us use google play store. Its ridiculous. Most of the stuff I want is free anyway, but not available on amazon.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] CSX321:
Yes, sometime in the past couple of days my Fire HD apparently was updated, and I've lost root.

Edit...I was able to re-root 7.4.9 with bin4ry 33 option 1. I re-installled the Play Store and prerequisites, and it all seems to be working fine.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Nanaki-seto:
Why is it i can not do the same on my 8.9?

Ive tried rerooting with the same option. But can not get full root. Nor can i even think of getting playstore or the like installed (no root etc) .
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] CSX321:
After what I'd read here at xda, I was surprised it worked. I double-checked, though, and I'm definitely on the latest 7.4.9 and definitely rooted.
