First, a big thanks to [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] for stepping in while I was out to the woodshed. Congrats on progress so far. While you have revived your device the bootloader still needs to be unlocked. For that a ROM (any ROM) needs to be installed so you can secure unlock codes. Once unlocked you can then flash the ROM of your choosing.

For the task of unlocking the bootloader I suggest using the following ROM: https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/orig-development/rom-fire-nexus-rom-ktu84q-t3322931

Thanks Shadow and Davey!

Got AOSP Extended up and running. Couldn't be happier!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
You didn't mention root; if that proves problematic or device behaves erratically you'll need to unlock the bootloader.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] aggillator:
I did unlock the bootloader...i think? Is that running the unlock.code file?

Two issues I'm having with the AOSP Extended is the camera only takes one picture before it displays and error in HDR mode. Also, the bluetooth connection seems kinda shaky. It will eventually connect but there's a lot of skipping in the beginning before it actually works smoothly.

Thanks guys, I'm back again. I bought an HDX 7 and now I'm trying to apply all that I've learned to get to a custom rom. I'm getting stuck in trying to unlock the bootloader. In fastboot it seems like I'm not connecting well. When I run fastboot devices device is connected fine. But when I try to run commands like fastboot oem unlock or try the commands to get into bulk mode or if I run the unlock.bat file, i get an error that says failed.

When I run the unlock.bat file i get this:

HI all. I've got a 3rd gen HDX 8.9 with FireOS 4.5.5.3 and I'm looking to put a custom ROM on there so I can have access to Google Play. I just want to make sure I understand the steps.

Google Play \ OpenGAPPS 7.1 keeps crashing on KF HDX Apollo

I used Draxie's 1-Click to unlock and install a base ROM image. I have a Kindle Fire 8.9 HDX Apollo, and Google Play keeps crashing. Has anyone had this issue where google play will successfully open 1 time, and then it will keep crashing with "google play has stopped", and "google play is stopping"? I can go into Apps>Google Play Store>and Clear the data and it will allow it to open successfully one time, and then crash every time after that.

This identical behavior has happened in both of these configurations:

I tried AOSPExtended v4.6-Apollo (Android 7.1.2) with Open Gapps arm 7.1 mini and pico.

I also tried Lieneage 14.1 apollo (Android 7.1.2) with Open Gapps arm 7.1 mini and pico.

I also tried Slim7 SlimROM ggow (Android 7.1.2) with Open Gapps arm 7.1 mini and pico.

I made sure to always do a Factory Reset, Wipe cache/dalvik, format the System partition, first - then Install the ROM zip, and then the OpenGapps zip. I even tried wiping ALL the partitions and then reinstalling the 2 zips. I can't figure out why this is happening.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Thoughts:

- this shouldn't be happening; certainly not a common occurrence with proper partition flushes, GAaps package selection and flashing procedures

- following a crash be sure to clear all Google Play Services data - not just the Play Store - then reboot

- if the problem persists don't sign into your Google account on the initial boot following installation; possible downloaded personal content (eg: contacts) is contributing to the problem

Hi there,

Long story short, first time I was able to install a custom rom (AOSP Extended) on my device with gapps and Magisk.

I have done a Factory Reset before installation in TWRP but when everything has finished and I started using my device I have noticed in the Storage Settings the "Other" things take 4.23GB. I assume it is somewhere in Internal Storage and has not been wiped off by TWRP.

My question is if can get rid of that by pressing "Factory data reset" button under Backup & Reset?

OR

If it's not safe to do so because of Magisk or any other apps that came during installation what would be the best to do?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Probably should explore what's in there before trying to get rid of it. Tap "other" to view contents.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] eszge100:
I did tap already but couldn't see anything suspicious so I probably just leave it as it is, hope it will not cause any problems.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Consider trimming vs deleting entire contents. 4+ GB is large; likely find a few jumbo files/folders that can take a big bite out of that number.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] eszge100:
It went down to 2.9Gb, so I definetaly leave it now as I still have 18-20+ Gb available. I’ll do more research about clean install next time I want to try something out. Thanks for everything and i’ll get back here if I have anymore noob questions.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Not at present. One developer is making slow progress given limited time and a 5+ year old device/kernel with limited documentation. Sweet spot for this device will likely remain with 7.1 based ROMs. Nothing wrong with that; Oreo brings nothing new to the table for legacy hardware.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] deewsee:
I bought a new Kindle Fire HD 7 recently, and after doing a bit of reading online it seemed that "upgrading" to the older HDX version would be a good idea; stereo speakers, better screen resolution, three times faster processor, (or so it seemed from what I read). Now it seems that the tablet is not capable of installing anything recent from the App Store, and everything I try to install gets an "error parsing package" window. Can't install Play Store or any alternative launcher, as I guess the apk files are not compatible with the OS on this model. Can't install Sim City Build It, etc...

Is there a consensus on the best launcher to install on the Fire HDX 7 that has easy to follow install instructions, proven track record ideally, and a way to stop Amazon breaking it with it's security updates. I have read through several threads in this forum and am not sure of the best way to proceed.

Any advice greatfully appreciated. I'm thinking about returning it for a refund at this point as I had no idea the OS was so out of date. I simply saw the specs and assumed it would be an upgrade to my Fire HD 7. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
The HW is an upgrade to just about any of the newer cheaper Kindle tablets.

For the OS, you can unlock and install a Nougat class ROM with close to vanilla Android.

AEX and Lineage appear to be favorites here.

The one drawback is that the radios are a bit flimsy.

Cellular doesn't work at all.

Bluetooth *pairing* has issues, but can be gotten to work with patience.

Once paired, it works OK.

WiFi performance will vary depending on your local airwaves.

I haven't had too severe issues, but I've seen complaints.

Hey folks,

I am currently using a HDX 7 (Thor/3rd Gen) with TWRP and LineageOS14.

Always thought I still had a backup from the original FireOS before I flashed the custom rom,

but spoilers: I don't.

Would like to go back to stock OS as I wanted to use the amazon service more etc and just want a change.

While looking for the latest firmware I found .bin files, but am not 100% sure what to do with that and before I half-ass sth and brick it, I'd rather ask you guys on how to do it properly :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Rolling back to FireOS v4 is nearly impossible as stock .bins usually contain components that will soft brick your device if flashed via TWRP. If you are intent on finding innovative ways to ways to self mutilate (boredom does that) try the 4.5.2 build from the following link which should work despite being designated as SafeStrap only. Be sure to take a backup of your current config first, ideally stored off-device. Good luck.

Thanks for your post, it helped me getting on the right track :)

Tried the file from your link and it wouldn't boot.... which totally made sense in hindsight as it was designed for SafeStrat (like you mentioned),

but luckily I found stock files for TWRP (TWRP flashable stock images by EncryptedCurse)

--> it worked for 4.5.5, enough for me to do a backup, but the controls are kinda wonky as in there are no navigation controls at all :D

Probably will try different versions

Thanks again for your time and effort

I want to install an unrooted rom to play FGO & a few other games with hardcore root detection. What options do I have?

I tried a few roms including AospExtended with no root integration but that didn't work either (Rootbeer sample failed the dangerous props check).

Is there something like a stock rom for the HDX?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Few/none as it is fairly easy to detect non-stock ROMs. Even with FireOS the presence of an unlocked bootloader can be inferred.

Forgot about [MENTION=5940066]EncryptedCurse[/MENTION]'s thread. :)

I have never known those builds to exhibit the behavior you describe. May be related to your device history and possible kernel tweaks from custom ROMs flashed along the way.

How to upgrade from HDX7 custom ROM (Android 4.2.2)?

Hi,

I own a Kindle Nexus HDX 7 (2013). A few years back I installed a custom ROM but neither do I know which ROM it was nor do I have any idea how I did it. Right now Android 4.2.2 is installed. I can boot up the kindle and go into Safetrap 3.75 (TWRP v2.7.1.0).

I would love to install a more recent version of Android as a few apps are no longer supported under Android 4.2.2. I have been reading a million threads but the more I read the more confused I get. Can I install a custom rom with my current Safetrap version? Do I have to delete something first? Which of the many custom roms should I use? I would like to use the nextflix app. Thanks for any kind of help! =)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
You will have to wipe and rebuild your HDX using one of the linked methods. Neither are for the faint of heart. While there are other paths that may seem less disruptive in the end you will likely end up with a Franken-Kindle that has to be wiped to recover. Might as well bite the bullet up front or resign to using the device as-is. Good luck.
