[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Emissary52:
It will probably show up in a few days. I managed to get the Google Services and Play on my Fire 7 (2015) and got it working. I thought I'd try it on my 4th Gen Fire 8.9 HDX using the same procedure and it's working on that as well! I thought it was necessary to root the Fire tablets to get Google Play on them, but it wasn't any more complicated than adding the Google stuff to my Fire Phone. Free at last!!

Did you install the Play Store on the HDX 8.9 4Gen according to

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Jean Rusé:
If you have an Android phone or tablet it is a relatively simple process. You need only extract and sideload APKs (play services, services framework, account manager, play store, then reboot).

Possible Root for 4.5.5.1

See here. Currently unconfirmed. Perhaps someone with 4.5.5.1 can validate whether Kingroot works (just root...not Safestrap...to risky).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] claywd:
Yuppers. Running full Google apps using latest kingroot and safestrap v4. Installed gapps.zip from recovery thr updated to latest Google apps and got almost everything up and running including a working playstore. Fire is 4.5.5.1 stock.

Life is bliss again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Thanks! Just to clarify:

- rooted 4.5.5.1 with Kingroot

- installed Safestrap v4 apk

- installed Safestrap recovery

- flashed GAaps from Safestrap recovery

- everything worked

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bigboolean:
Something I've found interesting about the compatibility of my Fire HDX 7 inch compared to my Nexus 7 2013 is that even though the hardware is nearly identical (The HDX has a slightly faster CPU) is that the app compatibility isn't. For instance, games like Sonic Racing Transformed, and Playworld Super Heroes are shown as compatible with my N7 2013 (dont bother with Sonic Racing Transformed if you're above Kit Kat) but are considered incompatible with my HDX 7 inch tablet. On the flip side the game Rune Story was incompatible with my Nexus 7, LG Optimus L90 (it's a lower end phone) and of course my Android TV devices from Google I\O 2014. I'm glad I can finally use my paid apps from Google Play, last example i swear... The DS Emulator named Drastic DS is a great emulator especially with the latest version, the problem was that I couldn't just extract the apk from my phone and install it on my HDX. Understandably, the paid version contains anti piracy features, but since the app couldn't communicate with the various Google Play necessities I was screwed... Until last year when I got a Nexus 7 2013 last year, but I'm glad that there's a working exploit for 4.5.5.1! I dont know much about safestrap, but should I install it? At the moment all I'm doing is just using the Google Play store and rooted apps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
In most instances this is a Play Store anomaly and does not reflect true compatibility/incompatibility. You can try a tool like Market Helper (may have to side load) to temporarily change the identity of your device and (legally) allow content to be downloaded. Not sure how well this will work with FireOS v4 as it tends to be fussy about such modifications. You may see guidance suggesting tweaks to build.prop. Very dangerous to manually edit this file on FireOS; would not recommend it.

You can bring your HDX in close alignment with a Nexus 7 by installing Safestrap and Nexus v4 which nearly identical to the rom running on your Google device. If you go this route consider uninstalling the play store first to minimize potential conflicts with Safestrap v4 (rare but not fun when it happens).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bigboolean:
It's fine, I'd rather not install stock on my HDX since I have it on my Nexus. I actually have been using Raccoon Downloader on Windows, I'm able to install my paid games on "incompatible devices". For example, I bought Broken Age on my Nexus 7, but I was able to play it on my ADT-1 Android TV since it has full game pad support.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Lukebluetiger:
I wouldn't recommend getting recovery with king root, because it bricked my other kindle :/
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Nothing wrong with Kingroot; used by numerous HDX users without incident. As I recall your other Kindle is/was an HD (not HDX). Entirely different beasts aside from branding and form factor.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Lukebluetiger:
Yes I understand but I meant after I successfully rooted with kingroot, I attempted to replace recovery but it didn't work
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Ah, thanks for the clarification.

For others benefit

: stock recovery can not be replaced on any device that has not been rolled back to FireOS 3.2.3.2 or below. Only certain devices can be rolled back; those running 3.2.8 or above are stuck with a locked bootloader and recovery. Safestrap v4 (twrp recovery emulator) can be installed on rooted 3rd gen HDX devices running FireOS v4.5.2 or v4.5.5.1. Safestrap v4 is not compatible with 4th gen devices or 3rd gen devices running any version of FireOS other that those noted above. Safestrap v4 is not a panacea. Like all modifications/customizations bad outcomes happen if directions are not followed carefully.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Lukebluetiger:
Thanks for the information.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] orkine:
My son and my daughter both have Kindles one was updated to 5.1.1 and the other was not. Identical tablets.

Dont know what or why one was updated and not the other?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Given the forum I assume both are 4th gen 8.9" HDX models purchased at the same time (difficult to externally distinguish between 3rd and 4th gen; hence the purchase time statement). Likely Amazon is staging rollouts to balance server loads and minimize fallout if something goes wrong. If both are identical, unmodified and allowed to update naturally then they should reach parity as the v5 rollout progresses.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] orkine:
Thanks for your response. I was in the wrong spot since the devices are 4th Generation HD 7s. I purchased both at the same time (December 2014) and one failed about 6 months later. It was replaced by Amazon. The one that updated was the replacement unit. I checked though and they are identical models possibly not the same build/batch. I will wait some more and see if the other unit is update.

Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Jean Rusé:
I spoke with multiple Amazon representatives, and I can confirm that there is indeed a staggered rollout. Especially for HDX devices. The HD 7 seems to be ready to receive the update (my mother received OS 5 on her Kindle as well) and your second Kindle will likely be updated soon, as long as it's left with the wi-fi on in sleep mode. As for the HDX owners, they have been preparing additional features, so there may be some wait time yet.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] zebradude:
well Amazon posted the Fire OS 5.1.1 for the 4th gen devices and no the HDX was not there. I guess that is proof in the pudding...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Jean Rusé:
OS 5 Confirmed for 3rd Gen

I just got off the phone with a knowledgeable Amazon Kindle Technical Support representative and specifically asked about "Thor" (3rd gen HDX). He told me that they've been working backwards to implement Fire OS 5, from 5th gen. Kindles, to 4th gen (with OS 5 now available on the Kindle updates page), and next will be 3rd gen.

too good to be true =)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Little wobbly on this too but nice to see something positive. My dubious meter is twitching.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Jean Rusé:
This rep knew a lot more than your typical Mayday or Amazon support rep. And it does make sense, with Amazon prioritizing their newest devices and extending updates across generations at later dates. It took this long for 4th gen. Plus, OS 5 displays Amazon content in a much more attractive manner and is easily accessed. It's to their benefit to get this update released on as many devices as feasible.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
First argument I've seen that makes sense from a business perspective. :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Capt Morpheous:
My dubious meter is also twitching. Although - it does make good business sense to have as many devices as possible, running on the latest fireOS platform.

The problem is the email notification they sent out - apologising for the miscommunication that the 3rd gen HDX's would get fOS 5.

It does seem like a lost opportunity, if Amazon are indeed going to let that model drift off.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] aegrotatio:
Please let this be true. My family has two HDX 7" and one HDX 8.9" that are all third generation. I have another Fire HD 6 which I updated tonight and I like the new interface since it's a modified Android and that dreaded Carousel is finally gone. That idea looks like it's lifted from the Samsung Barnes & Noble Nook.

I want this on my third generation HDXs now with the amazing high-DPI screens. I'm disappointed that the new Fire HD line has such lousy, low-DPI screens (except for the Fire HD 6, of course, which is very high DPI).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Capt Morpheous:
I have to say - the HDX screen really is superb.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] aegrotatio:
It feels like they're going to discontinue the HDX line soon, at least the 7" models. It's too bad. They really are too expensive but those high-DPI screens are nice. The 8.9" might survive since it's the only one that has a 4th generation.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
They already did.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] aegrotatio:
Dammit. This is a conundrum now, assuming Wikipedia is correct. I guess it makes business sense for them. When these HDX tables finally die I'll move the family to those sweet OLED Samsung tablets if they want, but I think they voted already since they all have iPads now.

Sigh.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
A buyers market at present. Lots of gently used HDX devices (and a few new ones) available at discount prices. That said, it may be some time before we see another high end tablet at an aggressive price point. With Amazon bowing out the broader market is free to promote such products as premium offerings and price accordingly. People seem satisfied with lower spec devices in tablet form.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JohnnySJ:
Question:

Has anyone considered, or tried to trade their HDX 2013 tablets using Amazon trade in program? I have tried several times, and i never found my HDX 8.9 in their list of accepted devices. I have contacted Amazon customer service 3 times, and the first 2 reps just gave me a generic response. The third rep was more helpful , and suggested that i tried a search using the sku number, but still did not find it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
No - but most similar programs (eg: Gazelle) count on a secondary market to make a buck. Fire devices listed on these sites are typically limited to earlier versions which (rightly or not) seem to hold some value. Buyers are willing to pay; sellers are just happy to get rid of their aging device. I have yet to see a HDX listed - probably because the margin between what a willing seller and buyer are willing to accept is too small to assure a profit.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] thebreezer:
Any news on the availability of 5.0 for our Kindle Fire HD (3rd Generation) devices? :confused:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Assume you mean HDX (not HD) although the answer for both is likely the same: nothing as of now nor would I expect v5 for discontinued 3rd gen devices despite what the Amazon rep (single data point) said to a previous poster. My view is routed in the business case - Amazon would need to financially benefit from the update to offset the cost to develop, deploy and support users through the transition.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Jon@2016:
Hello everyone!

I know ur upset about the no definite OS5 answer, but I have came up with a possible solution...

Write Amazon a complaint about no OS5 write one to them daily all of u! Don't just one then they say rest assured...

No, how many have received a letter promising OS5? In January right? But it is March, they put an e ink reader update first when they said the third gen HDX was next after the 4th gen HDs 6/7..

I also encourage u to write to Jeff Bezos...

Right demanding answers to Amazon... demand u get this update... demand what u want... all of us can if we work TOGETHER!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Nice idea but that's not how it works. Read through some of the other threads.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Jon@2016:
What else can we do?

Don't u guys agree we have been more than patient?

They lies to us when they said HDX 3rd gen was next. No it wasn't it was an e ink reader to supply them more money... they said if those eink readers don't get the update u won't be able to buy books... a money extracting strategy.

What about everyone calls and emails Amazon complaint... I suggest you demand answers... demand why the eink was done when the told us HDX 3rd gen was next...

Demand that they purse a promised update.. which they said in a letter on my carousel...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
All about ROI. Amazon would not have discontinued the 3rd HDX line if it generated copious clicks in the Amazon ecosystem. Updates are not entitlements. Find a document (not some recounting of a phone conversation) that promises FireOS 5 or any other system update for discontinued devices.

It's a real shame, but at this point I think it's case closed.

3rd Gen is discontinued.

There will be no further updates.

It's over.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
re: Response to post #177 [04/06/2016 09:25 EDT] since deleted

That indeed would be great news to the 3rd gen community which make up the overwhelming majority of HDX devices including all 7" models! Also opens the door to custom Lollipop based ROMs on locked devices. See where that goes.

Rest assured there a dollars and cents "business case" behind the decission whether that be rethinking the utility of HDX devices in Amazon's ecosystem or realizing a certain class of customer simply won't go for the current suite of low to mid-range devices. Also possible the vulnerabilities of KitKat are not worth the PR fiasco if Amazon devices fall victim in mass. Media loves a juicy click-bait story that makes someone look bad.

It's your hardware controller card, gone bad. After some time all of your front button will stop responding. I had the same problem, sent to Dopod service center and got it fixed.
