[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerberus0f:
Hi jha1991, you do need to be careful about rooting and making changes to your device. The most impost advice I can offer would be to do your research. Ensure that you know what device you actually own and its version. Amazon have not made this easy with their version and naming convention. Most mistakes which are encountered are as a result of not following instructions correctly or attempting to follow a process which was not designed for the device you own.

Check your device by going to "Settings" ---> Device ----> System Updates.

The actual version should be under Current version.

If you do in-fact have the 11.3.1.0 . I have good news and bad news.

THE GOOD NEWS

This is the new version of the device, thus far, the device can be safely rooted if you follow the instructions in this link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544736

Tips: Ensure that the drivers for the device are installed correctly, not the Microsoft native ones which the OS provides by actual ADB drivers. (You can search around for those, I have found that there are a few different variations of those so you would need to find the ones which work for you, based on the OS you are running and configuration of your machine. Feel free to install and un-install until you get this step right.

Once this is done you can safely root the device by running the batch file provided. Run the file by double clicking and not by right clicking and running as administrator. (A bit odd I know)

THE BAD NEWS

At present there is no secondary or unlocked boot loader for the device, which would allow users to side load TWRP and other essentials. So installation of custom roms and other freedoms are currently not available. My advice, wait it out and allow the developers to release a tested and working solution for an unlocked boot-loader for the firmware of this device.

THE ALTERNATIVE FOR APPS

You can install apps by copying the apk files directly to the device and installing from there, you do not need Google Play to do this. The current methods being used to run Google play on the device are hit and miss and have been known to cripple and already crippled kindle fire OS.

Install any app you want by uploading the APKs

Check out this site to get this done, it would be a good start.

CHEERS.

Nice answer :good:

Very well elaborated and detailed answer right there. I think this should be a sticky post since users with the new KFHD [3rd gen] (11.3.1.0) get a very nice overview about their device and their current possibilities!

I can confirm that the rooting script mentioned above works perfectly fine for the new Kindle.

If anybody wants to get rid of the Amazon-ads, here are the steps to get this done:

(All credits for this go to "Codemasta"!!!)

Root your Kindle Fire HD 2013

Download and install ES File Explorer from amazon AppStore (its free)

Start ES File Explorer and enable Root Explorer

Browse to "/data/securedStorageLocation/dtcp/"

Marke the "adunits" folder

Go to "more" and "settings"

Remove the permissions from "rwx --- ---" to "--- --- ---"

(Optional) Remove all folders in the adunits folder

Just don't ever try to mess with the dtcp****** etc. files located inside the app-folder since they're signed and can get you your Kindle bricked.

Afaik this is the only reliable and safe way to get rid of those ads on the KFHD 11.3.1.0 atm.

Concerning the Google PlayStore, I haven't really testet that matter, but I can confirm that by copying the apk.-files on your Kindle and then running them from your Kindle, you are able to get any game or app you want :D

Hope this helps anybody being confused about what possibilities there are for the new Kindle :fingers-crossed:

[MENTION=5639512]cerberus0f[/MENTION] Thanks for this, I appeciate it! However the thread you linked me to is the one I originally mentioned. Is there a step by step guid on how to root? It's good to know that apps can be installed by copying apk files, therefore no Google Play store needed :)

[MENTION=5636701]cruzersteve[/MENTION] Thanks also, those adverts are quite annoying!

[MENTION=5410356]LinearEquation[/MENTION] this is the thread from my original post. So do I just simply plug my Kindle into my computer, download the zip file and run the runme.bat file? Is it that simple? Because that is all I can gather from this thread...

Thanks

[MENTION=5639512]cerberus0f[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5636701]cruzersteve[/MENTION], thank you for the great info on the 3rd gen. I've had mine rooted since Christmas day and have been able to use most apps that I want, but sometimes (non gapps) I get a error that says I need google play services.

It's this normal?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruzersteve:
Pretty much :P But before that you gotta make sure your Kindle has a ADB-connection to your computer. I'm sure there are plenty of instructions on how to get those adb drivers to recognize your Kindle, so just search the forums or google and you'll get plenty of guides + the neccessary drivers there. But don't worry, it's a very simple process.

Basically, this:

-Uninstall any existant drivers on your computer for the Kindle in case you have connected the device to it before (which you prolly have :P )

-Install the ADB drivers on your system (nothing more but a simple setup.exe file installation)

-Plug your Kindle to the computer, make Windows stop searching automatically for the needed drivers and point him to the folder where the new drivers are.

That's pretty much it, but I'm sure any guides with screenshots out there will leave you without any doubts on this!

Once you have assured your Kindle gets recognized by ADB (enable ADB on the Kindle!!!) you just run the script from above and you're set!

Your Kindle will be rooted afterwards ;)

Nothing you have to worry about, and yeah afaik that's a totally normal behaviour.

Some apps heavily rely on Google Play Services, so that's nothing strange ;)

I've not encountered a message like that yet though. Do those apps still work after the message pops up or do they close upon this message?

Greetings!

[MENTION=5636701]cruzersteve[/MENTION] I downloaded and installed the ADB drivers, however when I plug the Kindle in via USB, Windows does not search for the ADB drivers I installed, but installs new drivers. The Kindle appears as a Portable Media Device in my devices. How do I get Windows to look for the ADB drivers?

Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruzersteve:
That's why I told you to search for detailed guides about this, since it's kinda hard to explain this just with words, but let me give it a try :P

Step-by-step:

1.) Plug your Kindle to your computer

2.) Open your device manager

3.) Right-click your Kindle-device in the device manager (Section should be portable devices) --> Chose uninstall

4.) We've now uninstalled any existing driver for the Kindle on your system. Now make sure again that you've enabled ADB-support on your Kindle!!!

5.) Unplug the Kindle from your PC

6.) Install ADB drivers to your system [Skip this if already done ^^]

7.) Now comes the "tricky" part. It requires you to click fast enough, but it's not really hard either xD Plug in your Kindle to your computer.

--> Since there are no drivers on the system for this device, Windows is gonna start looking for compatible drivers for the device. This should get displayed by a icon on the right of your taskbar. Double-click that so the windows driver search gets displayed. And on the bottom part of this box, there should be an option like this: "Stop searching automatically for drivers for this device" [Sorry for not providing the exact words, my system is in german so I can't :P But there's only one option you can click to make him stop so you basically can't miss it =) ]

8.) So now, we've stopped Windows from installing the drivers he needed for the device. Go to the device manager once again, and by the side of your Kindle, there should be displayed a yellow exclamation mark now, since the system is missing the adb-drivers.

9.) Right-click the Kindle once again, chose "Update drivers" and then click yourself through the driver installation process. Make sure to chose the option "Chose specific folder location to look for drivers" (or something like that) when you get asked for it. Then, obviously, point him to the folder where your ADB-drivers are installed.

10.) You should be done by now. After this your device should be installed with the correct ADB-drivers

Sorry for my bad english, not my native language but I'm trying! xD

Here's a youtube video, his steps aren't all the same as I described them since he starts off way later in the process than I did, but might be helpful as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds7HjmJ5Yg8

Greetings & good luck!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Yes thats normal because as I stated before, Google Play services is not functioning on the new KFHD7 2013 model yet. So any actual Gapp (Google Hangouts, google books, etc.) will not function. Only self running apps like the XDA app from the Play Store will work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mswierse:
[MENTION=5636701]cruzersteve[/MENTION] some apps do keep working, others do not. Even on the apps that seem to keep working, errors keep randomly popping up.

[MENTION=5410356]LinearEquation[/MENTION]... I know gapps won't work, I'm not referring to them. Like my screen shot showed, Living Social and Groupon don't work. Those are just the only two I can think of now, but there are others.

Download Manager

So i rooted my kindle, and proceeded to start hacking up the system. i hid my softkeybar in lieu of pie controls, and replaced the stock keyboard with thumb keyboard. all of this worked swimmingly until i tried to install the google play services. i backed up my download manager via titanium and installed the edited ones via another post on this forum. Now the play store does not work, nor does any other web interface for download (ie browser amazon app store etc)

Can someone please pull and upload

/system/app/DownloadProvider.apk and

/system/app/DownloadProviderUi.apk

or direct me to a link where i may download these files? Until i have them my kindle is pretty worthless

Custom roms for 2013 KFHD7 ver 11.3

Hi everyone! I've been scouring as many sources as I can looking for news of Cyanogenmod for the 2013 Kindle Fire HD 7" (ver. 11.3) and I can't find anything. I was just now able to root it, at least. Anybody heard anything? Point me in the right direction? I got this thing for Christmas and it's sitting there next to my Nexus 5 feeling bad for itself. I like the hardware, but that Amazon OS is *brutal*.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleberry.graphics:
Rooting is quite easy, and there is a script in the forums. There are no Rom capabilities yet as no one has found an exploit to unlock the boot loader yet.

Hi, I have LG G2 with D80210B-SEA-XX software. After the first problem encountered, not able to select multi-photo for background(not really a problem because I don't need that) I have a serious problem, I cannot select a photo to a contact. I can put a photo to a contact only if a make a photo in the moment I am crating the contact. If I want to select a photo made earlier or a photo from a gallery nothing happens.

Does anyone have the same problem ? Do you think a hard reset will fix that ?

I HAD TO SHUT DOWN AND RESTART TO GET A NEW VIRE WALL PAPER TO SHOW UP. I JUST LOADED AVIATE. IT'S OK I GUESS, YOU CAN LOAD ANY PICTURE ON THE HOME SCREEN AND THE MOST USED APPS BAR ON THE HOME SCREEN IS NICE, I ALSO LIKE HOW THEY ORGANIZE THE APP DRAWER BY TYPE. I'LL PUT UP A GRAPHIC. GO TO getaviate.com for that app. vire can be had from the playstore. that's why you got to sideload things. neither one let's real widgets run, they crash. there has to be a file missing on the kindle. Aviate relies on the google framework i think and because i can't get it to run stable, that's a problem.

aviate home screen

Aviate has a very clean home screen replacement somewhat like Goggle Now, the home screen slides left, right, and down to reveal other panels. For a non rooted replacement it's very cool. i have the dark theme with a photo for the background. It took a week or so to get a activation code from aviate. For something that is ment only for phones, it's not bad. getaviate.com

Aviate is definitely the best home screen replacement for the hdx if your non rooted. It allows the use of widgets and wallpapers. I have Aviate, google apps, and SwiftKey installed. This combination definitely gives the HDX the sense of being a real android tablet without root, especially since Amazon disabled the "Special offers" for me. I'm loving this tablet now ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] shdwslayer:
How'd you do this without root? I've followed on how to install Play Store but it doesn't work for me. Sideloaded Aviate but it doesn't let me set it to default launcher.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] aoleg:
Set as default launched by doing this:

pm block com.amazon.kindle.otter

To return to the stock launcher, pm unblock com.amazon.kindle.otter then uninstall Aviate.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] aoleg:
You'll need to have ADB installed and configured on your computer. You'll also need Kindle HDX drivers (instructions also available on this forum). There are tons of manuals on how to do that. Once you have ADB, launch the ADB shell in the command line by executing the following command in the same folder where you have the ADB executable:

adb shell

Once you are in (a command line window will appear), type:

pm block com.amazon.kindle.otter

That's it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] drrobo:
So I Androidified my HDX 7 as follows:

Sideloaded Dodol launcher, which allows widgets and wallpaper (you have to check the "exclusive wallpaper" check box in launcher settings), as well as icon themes etc.

Disabled the stock launcher using the "adb and fastboot light" program with the block otter command (as detailed above)

Installed all the google apps (except maps, but google earth works great)

Installed ultimate rotation control app, which allows you to force rotation on any app, including the launcher homescreen (without it the dodol homescreen is always in one portrait orientation)

Installed the hacked Kindle app which has a different signature and therefore can be installed on the fire hdx and logged into like a normal app, so you can access your kindle book library with the dodol launcher!

Installed 1Mobile market, as an alternative to the play store, which allows direct downloads of APKs and updates. I even updated the google play services to the latest version, as well as many of the google apps and they still all work perfectly.

Overall, my unrooted kindle Fire HDX7 now resembles a standard android tablet (I even had a stranger ask me how I converted my kindle into a "proper" tablet!) , and can be fully returned to the stock Fire interface at any time, i.e. when I get bored. Simples!
