Fire HD 10 7th Generation

Installed all 4 APKs on my new tablet to get Google stuff working. Gmail, Photos, Play store all working great!

Then I created a second account on the tablet and tried to do the same thing for that new account.

The first 2 APKs installed just fine (Account Manager and Service Framework). The third one downloads (Play services), but will not install. I don't have the 'grayed out' install button issue, it just instantly says 'Not Installed' when I try to install it.

Any ideas?

Thanks to y'all I side-loaded Google apps on my KFHD8 running Fire OS 5.4.0.1 It works fine. I have 2 questions.

1)My device says it's already downloaded Fire OS 5.6.0.0 and ready to install. How do I prevent this from installing on it's own, how do I delete the already downloaded update?

2) If it installs, will it come in the way of Google side-loaded apps?

Please help me out.

Ok I was given no choice. It updated anyway to 5.6.6.0 on it's own. Now on it won't let me install apps from outside. The install button is greyed out. I don't want to face future updates like this.

Can you help me out please? Is there way to stop the update?

What if I downloaded NoRoot Firewall and blocked just the FORCED OTA? would that help me from future OTA updates? Is this enough or should I block more settings in the NoRoot Firewall app?

Google account doesn't stay for long

Fire HD 8 (2017) with 4 Google APKs installed.

Everything works fine, with one strange exception which I couldn't find in these forums (or anywhere else). The Google Account keeps "deleted" after day or two. From time to time in, for example, YouTube it offers to "Add Account". I enter the name and password for my Google Account - and I am logged in all the Google apps. I can even reboot the tablet and it is all good. Then after day or two the account is gone, and I need to add it again. I tried to disable auto updates for both Amazon and Google - it did not change the behavior.

If it were my personal tablet - I wouldn't mind doing it every few days, but this is tablet my 85 years Mom uses for book reading (the app doesn't rely on Google account, so it works all the time), YouTube Music, and some YouTube (which are useless to her if she is not logged in); and for her entering the credentials is too much trouble. I explained to her that the tablet tends to forget her from time to time, and I have to come and remind it.

Any suggestions?

Amazon Fire HD 10 2017 - Running 5.6.7.0 - Am I Stuck With Amazon's OS

I got this device back from my wife a couple days ago and decided to investigate rooting and installing a rom, with the goal of clearing all the bloat crap on it. It had been sitting for a couple months unused. I charged it and turned it on and it started to update to 5.6.7.0 right away.

I have searched many threads here to try to find a reference to 5.6.7.0 and the possibility of rooting and installing Lineage on the device. I think I'm a bit screwed at this point, as I believe 5.6.7.0 was a major update to Android 7.1 and there may not be a rooting solution yet.

I would appreciate some advice as to the possibility of rooting/rom this device:

Can I root/install a rom with 5.6.7.0 on it?

If not, can I restore to an earlier version and then work on rooting and installing Lineage?

Do I have any other options with regards to cleaning Amazon's OS off this device?

FYI, I have been running AFTB on it which helps, but doesn't meet my bloat clearing goals.

Thanks.

Hi all,

For a Fire HD 8, 2017, if I want it to be as close to a regular Android tablet, what should I do?

I already "semi-briked" it once, with the "stuck at logo" problem, and I fixed it thanks to some comments on this thread. Thanks!

So, I just wanted to know exactly what is the recommended approach not to fail again:

[HD8 7th gen] Downgrading From Fire OS 5.6.6.0 (654620620) Or Root Possible?

Hi there,

I've got a Amazon Fire HD 8 7th gen running Fire OS 5.6.6.0 (654620620) which I'm trying to downgrade and to attempt to root and flash TWRP.

It looks like after many hours of searching around forums that the current version of Fire OS may be hindering my efforts to successfully achieve this which is why I'm posting here as a last resort in the hope somebody has a little more experience and knowledge.

So here's what I've tried so far:

Started following https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/unlock-fire-hd-8-2017-douglas-t3962846 but noticed 5.6.4.0 or older was required.

then: https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/unlock-fire-hd-8-2017-douglas-t3962846/page34#337

Downloaded update-kindle-50.6.3.6_user_636558520.bin, rebooted into recovery to find that the adb sideload option wasn't listed which shattered my hopes for being able to downgrade via sideload

I've just found this thread which I suppose was the original root method, but don't know if I should bother? https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/fire-hd8-2017-amonet-debrick-root-t3897841

I'm at a loose end! Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Many Thanks,

App Question

Hi all,

Noob here. I share a Fire HD 10 7th Generation with my wife. She has the primary user account and I have the secondary user account. I need to use MS Teams and she does not. I've successfully installed the Google Play Store on the tablet and I've downloaded Teams on her account. Is there a way to give my secondary account access to that app?

Here is what I've tried. First I tried to install the Google Play Store on my secondary account after installing it on the primary account. It would not install. I kept getting "Application not installed" when I tried to do so.

Second I uninstalled the Google Play Store from the primary account and successfully installed it on the secondary account. However every app that I tried to download kept stalling at "waiting for download" and would not proceed.

So I'm left with thinking that the only way the Google Play Store works is if it is installed to the primary account on the tablet. If that assumption is correct then is there a way to give a secondary account access to apps that were downloaded via the primary account?

Thanks!

Hey all, hopefully a simple question here. I have a 2017 HD8 already unlocked running LineageOS 12.1. I was looking to upgrade to 15.1 but based on the zip verification failures I'm getting in TWRP I *think* I have to upgrade the TWRP version as well.

My question is what's the easiest/safest way to do that? I figure I can probably run through the bricking/flashing procedure again just as I did years ago but not sure if that's the best/easiest way since I'm already unlocked and have access to my current version of TWRP (3.3.1-0, FWIW).

Alternately if I should be able to flash it using my current version, any other ideas why it wouldn't work? I've tried with zip signature verification on & off, I always wipe system/cache/data before trying to flash anything, 14.1 doesn't work either but I can successfully reflash 12.1 with no problems.

I have a rooted Fire HD 8 (7th gen, 2017) with Lineage OS lying around. I haven't used it in a while because it's so slow and I already bought a better tablet.

Now I would like to use the Fire as a screen for my Hifi receiver. The receiver has an HDMI port and having a little screen connected to it would make it much more comfortable to use. But the Fire only has a micro-USB port and if course it's not been made for this kind of use.

Is this possible?

Hi all,

Question: Where do I find instructions to root a Kindle HD 8 (2020 - Onyx)? OR Is there any other way to put TLS certificates in the Certificate System Store?

Background: I bought the Kindle in the "Kids" edition for my 6 year old daughter. Of course she loves it. Amazons puts a ton of child-friendly apps and content on there. BUT its just too much content (thousands of apps and media) and as a parent I would like to have control over what my child is watching / playing / reading. Amazon does give the option to remove content from the catalogue by hand. And at first I went through everything and removed like 70%. But of course Amazon pushes new content regularly and I have no way of knowing when and whats new, it just appears on the device and my daughter can access it. Not good imo.

So since Im a developer I thought "why not build a service that removes all new content by default and generates a report so parents can whitelist new stuff later". SHOULD be easy enough since its all web services (probably authentication will be tricky). BUT I cannot (man-in-the-middle) inspect the https web traffic of the Kindle Kids parent control settings app because the settings app uses certificate pinning and only allows the TLS certificates from the system store, which I cannot access of course. Also the parent control settings app does not seem to be freely available and comes preinstalled only on the device itself, so no way to repackage it with the proper MITM certificates.

So I started to look around for clear rooting instructions for that particular model but came up only with seemingly outdated stuff.

I would be super grateful for any pointers in the right direction!

Hello,

I have one Fire HD 8, 7th gen, 2017. It runs quite well with the Play Store on top, and Nova Launcher. Apart from the Home button not working --- the thing with parental controls --- everything else works as expected on the tablet. As I am writing this, the tablet upgraded itself from FireOS 5.6.x.x to 5.7.0.0.

Now I am thinking of changing the firmware. I don't care about the root. But I would like to remove anything Google and Amazon from the tablet and make it mine. I don't like opening stuff up, nor do I like soldering pieces. So I would like the smoothest experience with some clean Android firmware. I see there is a LineageOS port, but it works in 32bits, and it's labeled ”experimental”. I guess I don't want anything older than Android 5.
