Try contacting tech support they might have something for you to flash. And if they do, you should post the files and process here. Unfortunately without solid kernel, or recovery information there's little we can do.

Hopefully, cause I don´t want send it back
After chatting with Amazon, the problem wasn´t solved! But I looked a bit more on the Amazon Homepage and found where I can download the Software Update to 6.1:
Download Link
And here is the instruction:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_k6_updatesi?nodeId=200790620
I will try it now and report what happends!
I think you already have that don't you?
When I got my KF, it immediately before I did anything updated to that version.
Code:
Current Version 6.1_user_2017120
Yes I have the one but I´ll try to run the update again manuelly, or do you think t wont work?
Masterc, didn't you say in another thread that you are in Austria?
You should mention that here if it is the case as it might affect the responses you get.
Yes thats true, but Wifi worked before I downloaded and installed the update! It also showed my name... the Amazon support told me it should work abroad..
I tried to install the update again, but it didn´t solve the problem.
So after playing around a while, the network pops up (yeahh) but when I enter the (right) passwort it always shows:
Error in conncection
unable to connect to selected access point. Please check the password you have provided
the kindle found my hotspot from my galaxy note (without password) and it connected just one time for arround 10 seconds..
Now I can´t connect again... quite intressting
Hopefully it is not the hardware - but I don´t think so otherwise I couldn´t download the update.
my friend has an a500 and she cannot install anything from the market. It says cannot be installed in your country but we live in the United States!!!!
How can I fix tyis for her?

When did it start? Does it happen on certain apps or all of them?
Easy solution is to delete market data from settings, than delete google account from tablet and restart the tablet. Also, if it's rooted, you could try a different rom (maybe one with a market update).
This did not work for me, I have this problem for a month, I am not rooted and already sent a message to market. They are kinda trying to resolve it (I don't think so) and apparently they are waiting for ICS to come out and clear the problem.
cheers
And make sure the devices region is set to the U.S.?
It's 100% stock and she says it has always been this way (she didn't know it was supposed to be different)
I will try deleting market data next.
It's an old version of the marketing is there a way to manually update the market to the newest version? Would that help?
Where do you change the device region at? That was the first thing I looked for but couldn't find it.
Have her check her timezone. I know that sounds crazy, but I ran into that on a previous tablet I had.
I did a factory reset then went through setup and set it to the correct time zone but I didn't see anything for the region. I don't know what's up with it. I'm hopeing someone else has had this problem and can tell me how they fixed it. Short of rooting it I don't know what to do.

To change the region, you'll have to do it on your google account as you log in to market with that. It did not work for me but I did not change the time zone though.
The region on Google.com is set to united states.
I'm thinking that the only way to fix it is to root it.
log in with a different account and make sure it works. If not go get another one, that one sounds like a headache
Hmmm I was thinking it was a problem with the tab not her account. I will try putting my account on it and see what happens.
She can't return it she has had it since August she thought it was supposed to be the way it is.

I don't believe it is a tab problem. I have the same issue with my A500 and HTC Sensation. It is either a region problem or market (app) problem.
Have u ever tried to log in on the market on a PC? There you can install apps too, if your account has recognised your device. The apps r then automatically installed on the device chosen by u....

I have same problem on the web also
rom on tab for foreign markets
This was a common issue back when the tablet started shipping. Look at the rom version in settings about tablet compare it to some of the us rom versions.
Has this tablet received ota updates.if not and will not do so. Root install cwm. Use acer recovery installer to do so.
Then install a rom of your choice. Look in dev area for a stock rom any us version will do even if its older.then run the update in settings about .
Good luck.
You can also try going to settings. Privacy and reset to factor default.
Or turn tablet off.hold the reset button in with a paperclip and power up.this will reset to factory (easy but not likely fix .
I agree with above its a region setting.
Had simlar issue I cleared all with wipe menue in cwm. Deleted and reinstalled my Google account.
Hello,
I recently upgraded my SGS4 (i9505) to the official 4.3 and then I flashed Golden Eye ROM v.14 on top of it. I came across a strange issue though that it's not that disturbing but I wonder if anyone has any suggestions.
I installed Kies3 and after a restart my phone got recognised by the computer an everything works fine. However the problem is that everytime I connect my phone, I need to restart the computer in order for it to pick it up. Otherwise it wont appear anywhere. I'm running Windows 8.1 and needless to say, it was working fine on Windows 7.
Any suggestions to this? Thanks in advance.
As far as I know it's not phone related.. I had previously a Sony Xperia S and my win 8 PC was just crashing when I create a new folder then when I got the S4 it continued crashing when I create a new folder.. I read somewhere here on xda that this problem needs a complicated fix for the PC..
I hope you the best friend and if you found a solution it will be great if you share it..
Hi all,
I recently decided on trying my hand at rooting my s5, have done my research and this is where i wanted to take my phone, and where to come for help.
Ive gone through Odin v3.07 and no COM's would register, i tried tool kit but it wouldn't start after i installed drivers and such, there was a third one i found through threads in here as well but to no avail, nothing has proved any results.
so this is where you all can swoop in and save the day, when I used Odin (which seems to yield the furthest results) the only trouble im having is opening my phone in the ID:COM section. When I plug my s5 into my linux mint 10.something hp notebook (which could be the whole problem all together), with a v2 or v3 usb it registers as gFTP and I can do very little with the files there. like i noted above, toolbox didnt even open, nor could i even figure out what to do with the third thing i tried using. so, my last resort, a community that actually knows what they're doing...
What advice/guidance can you all pert to me? what do you think the problem might be? do i need to perform a factor reset to root my phone? is it the operating systems i am working on? i tried briefly on a mac osx 10. something and now am on a linux mint.
i am not very tech savy but can pick things up fairly quickly, so pretend im dumb and give explicit detail and i will pick up what you miight be talking about more easily.
P.S. I am NOT a robot lol
I have been searching through different android support pages today and everyone seems to resolve their rooting issues easily. though their solutions dont seem to provide me with any answers. i can list any info needed for further diagnostics, but to label a few outright, i have enabled usb debugging in developer mode, tried different usb ports and before/after phone is in downlaod mode, i have SM_G900P 4.4.4 and anything else you need, to help me
Root MethodAmazon has just released a new firmware update, blocking the fastboot commands necessary for root/custom ROMs (fastboot boot). We need more information about this update. If people could update their tablet to this latest version without getting it stuck in the botloop, we could see the information regarding the update and get root out for this ROM ASAP. Thanks to anyone who sacrifices root/ROMs for development.
List of things you can't do:
Downgrade to an earlier release
Boot a .img from Fastboot
List of things you can do:
Install and use the Google Play Framework and Services
Root
Install Custom ROMS via FlashFire
Remove Lockscreen Ads
Remove Amazon Bloatware
Feel free to comments things that worked/didn't work on your device.
ANYONE WHO IS ON 5.0.x AND WANTS TO GO TO 5.1.1 WITHOUT ANY COMPLICATIONS AND KEEPING TWRP, GO TO THIS LINK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3265594
Can anyone test if the Google Framework Install tutorial works on this update?
It does.
However, DON'T TRY TO DOWNGRADE BACK TO THE 5.0.1 FIRMWARE. IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. I found that out the hard way. It's stuck in a preloader reboot-loop.
Added list of what you are able to do on the update.
Can someone with a brand new Fire & an open wifi network within range, confirm that it will not automatically connect to wifi? I would appreciate it greatly.
Yes, I do believe that you should have to agree to connect to wifi. And that's what I vaguely recall from my Fire. But I'd like to be 100% sure. Don't want to take the slightest chance. My friend has a new fire in the box & has an open wifi network within range of their place.

You have to go through the setup, but originally I just skipped that part, even though I was next to a Starbucks, and it didn't connect.
Doesn't Starbucks wifi require you to click to agree to their terms of use before you can freely browse or download? So Internet would not actually be available initially to the update script.
Pretty much, I trust amazon on this issue, as far as I can throw them. I don't want to presume that a OTA proccess won't silently connect, while the Fire otherwise appears to be waiting for the ok to connect to wifi.
Bloat removal
Hi just to add this thread it looks like you cannot remove any of the bloat as I was able to do on 5.01

Thanks, added.
This is bullsh!t. the ENTIRE reason about 5,000 people bought this tab last week is because of root, fastboot and CM. If I get my tab soon I can offer any assistance you need. I'm not sure if it will be possible to dump any part of the system, boot, etc. without fastboot or twrp, but I'm sure we could figure something out.

Has anyone tried kingroot on 5.1.1?
Experts please take a look at this
What was changed in OS 5.1.1?
If anyone can get the frimware update or capture it id like to test it out
running 5.1.1 & all I could manage to load was Google Account manager. The rest (Framework Services, etc) says something like "App not installed" & nothing else, every time I try.
scratch that..... found found a couple that did load for me.
Damn! I did this (tried to downgrade, got bricked) a day before you posted this. I should probably replace mine...
My unrooted Fire upgraded to 5.1.1 last night before I had any idea it was coming. I'm willing to try whatever is needed to assist with further research if I could be of any help.
unlikely it would work, but did anyone on 5.1.1 try
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrpfilename
