OUTDATED

TUTORIAL ONLY FOR KINDLE FIRE HDX 7

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK / RUIN YOUR PHONE IN ANY WAY.

BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS REQUIRED

Introduction:

The main question is: Why we wanna root this tablet and install SAFESTRAP?​

The purpose of this tutorial is to make the tablet ready to save the stock rom with SAFESTRAP and get a rooted device which is able to get googleplay store and an alternative launcher, maybe if you want i can add a section which contains how to SAFESTRAP the stock rom right and how you flash your first custom rom to your device. Let me know if you want this?!

Ok here we go :)

It is very important that you DON'T let your kindle updating.

Disable WLAN and enable AIRPLANE-MODE to supress it.

Then look in "settings" -> "device" -> which "version" do u have?

If you have 13.3.0.5 begin with reading at step 1a) ( thank you @Grtschnk )

If you have 13.3.1.0 begin with reading at step 2a)

If you have 13.3.2.4 begin with reading at step 3a)

If you have 13.3.2.5 or 13.3.2.6 use
