I've seen a few of these threads listed without any solid resolution. I installed CM7 on my Kindle, but it's basically useless to me because it won't connect to the Google Server. I can surf just fine over the wifi, but it won't use the wifi to try and add my account.
The wifi indicator at the bottom is white. As I understand it, a connection to the server will change it to green. Anyone else have this happen? Or any ideas on how to fix it?
I'm afraid it may just be because I'm in Afghanistan and there will be little I can do about it.
Did you install the Google apps?

I have the same problem.
I installed Google apps, when I select Google apps it asks me to sign in. I do the steps to sign in and i get the:
Your phone needs to communicate with Google servers to set up your account. This may take up to five minutes.
It looks as though it is working then the screen turns off. When I hit the power button to turn the screen on I see:
Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.
I'm rooted running CM7
if you just installed, try a reflash. make sure you erase your cache and delvik cache after installing
Have you fixed permissions in ROM Manager, if so try Kindle Fire Utility, in exrrasvthere is an insgall gapps option.

Hi all,
I am hoping you can help me.
I have followed the instructions on this site and rooted my kindle.
Also I have installed Android market place again via instructions on this site.
I have a proper Googlemail account which I use to login and I can run the market fine, can see loads of apps.
If I want to purchase a free app, i click on it and get the option of download.
Click download, I get a pause and a box that just say "can't be downloaded due to error"
I have upgraded the Vebding file to 3.3.1 and I have checked its permissions
Any other ideas please as to why i cannot download from market.
Everything else works fine.
Regards
Ian
Bumping this: I am on the Galaxy Nexus and I am having the same issue.
Try setting your router to only use the g protocol if you have a b/g/n router.
update to new market, that might fix it and clear cache and data
is there a reason why some apps that show up on my droid x don't show up on the kindle? both have the newest market installed.
the market looks at your device and only shows apps that meet it's hardware/software requirements. this is to prevent you from buying something your device cant use.
Use Root Explorer or some file navigator and goto your SD card and delete the .android_secure folder.
Should be good to go after that.
I had this problem on my Droid charge and Kindle fire today and this resolved it.
So hello guys. Before say anything , I have to say this first.
My English is not good, or should I say, terrible ! So if you see anything wrong with the grammar , I'm truly sorry for my Bad english.
So ok, Let's get straight to the point.
- I'm having A Kindle Fire, the FW is 6.2.2 and I have rooted it.
- I'm using the Go Launcher Ex and when I tried to use Amazon Kindle Apps ( To read books ) , I just couldn't launch it so .... I tried to replace it with the Amazon Kindle from the Google Market.
After I downloaded and installed it, I CAN open the apps now, but I couldn't connect to Amazon Sever ( or as It said ) , so does my Amazone Appstore ( I mean the one that Amazon put in first ). And I couldn't register my Kindle Fire either
- After that **** , I tried to " Reset to Factory Defaults " but It still the same...
So guys, any advice ? And well, I also want to know that can I use any other launcher beside Go Launcher Ex ( Like the Launcher Pro ? I installed it but It keep Force Close ).
Thanks in advance , and sorry for my Bad English.
If you want to try another luncher, maybe try other ROM for KF. CM7 have ADW, ICS have pretty stock luncher too
For CM7 go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773
ICS is still in alpha build so I cant recomend it to you.
About Registration - Try to unroot device before attempting to log in to amazon.
Root KF should not block connecting Kindle Reader to the Amazon server. I can connect to Amazon download and read all my books same like prior to rooted. Now my KF is run on ICS still has no issue with Kindle Reader. May be, you register you device to the wrong account, try check it again.
easy fix - uninstall the amazon reader app
I had the same problem after rooting I installed a ton of new software, and the amazon standard services (books, movies etc) all stopped working and the content was "missing". It was still on the device but did not show.
I restored factory defaults (from Kindle Fire settings menu), re-rooted and re-installed software more carefully.
For me it turned out the Amazon reader app was the culprit. I removed it and everything worked and is working fine. So you don't need to reset and re-root - just remove the app.
Assuming you loaded this software for a reason but you don't need it. If you are side-loading books into the device and you want them to show up in your "Books" tab, then you just need to use Calibre software on your computer to change the metadata of the e-book file from PDOC to EBOK

The Kindle App on Kindle Fire poses problems of data corruption for normal users at times. The solution is this:
===
Make sure WiFi is 'ON' when doing this)
Go to the Gear wheel at top right when at Home Screen
Then click on:
. More,
. Settings,
. Applications
... (choosing ALL applications to view),
Select 'Amazon Kindle' and then
. Click to clear DATA (which clears the cache at the same time)
Press Home at bottom left
SIT BACK as it all returns to The Way It Was.
No restart needed. No need to remove the app.
===
Not sure that would work for your situation but it's a real possibility.
So I've already been able to successfully install apps from the android market place. But for some reason I can no longer download any apps. Whenever I try to, it stays at "downloading" and makes no progress. I've already cleared the app data, cleared cache, and forced quit. Any suggestions?
no suggestions...
You could try reinstalling the market apk, try removing your Google account and adding it back in, or trying restoring to a backup if you have one available when it worked.
The last one is a little extreme IMO but its an option.
Didn't seem to work. Any other suggestions?
maybe this one:

I rooted my nook today and no matter what I try, using Opera Mini, I cannot get any google apps to install. I also cant figure out how to add a device to google apps. Since the Market app never works for anyone this seems to be the only way to install anything but there are no forums mentioning how to install it. I would appreciate some assistance. Thanks.
no one here knows the answer to this? i'm shocked no replies yet.
download gapps.zip and flash it.

Guyman2,
Depending on the rooting method you used, there is way to install gapps, which includes market (google play - they are compatible in use, nothing being left). Check it on the proper post here in the development forum!

To more succinctly state the problem:
How can you get APKs out of Google Play without loading your personal device with a load of junk from Google?
I've got Google Maps on my Nook right now and every time I turn my back it's trying to do something (when not running).
Renate,
Gotta live with that. That's the price of having market (gmail always on the background, etc), but it helps the system runs a little bit better (apps upgrade!).
Guyman,
Look on the thread related to touchnooter, and probably there will be an option to add gapps to your system. Usually the 1st post show you all the options.
Have the same problem - is there a way to install market only?
What I'm going to do is install on my phone, extract it from the phone, then load onto the Nook and delete what's left over! Madness, I know.
A nicer way for me would be to install into a virtual machine and do that. Anyone know if that's possible? Possibly even with Android-x86??
I don't like market in this sense. It's a problem with all Android devices as far as I can see. Market is a bit of a problem in this regard.
I'm not sure about the problem here, but, I can confirm that, I rooted my NST with Touchnooter and market is working fine, I downloaded several apps from market and, I also installed some apps trough Google Play Store from my PC directly to the NST.
For me Market search didn't work after following MinimalTouch so I had to use the SearchMarket app from Appbrain. After this now I can search and install anything but still can't click the notifcations, OperaMini crashes back to the ADW desktop, same for Browser too after clicking a link in Google.
edit:
for Renate re: Maps out of control. Yes, I noticed too that it comes out of the background and wastes battery. 2 ideas: 1) Freeze it when not in use. You can use a Widget from Titanium or AppQuarantine for quicker launch 2) use something 3rd party
I also suggest using a different account for the Nook to any other Android devices you have to keep things separate and clear since the NST is not recognised by Play.
For a bare-bones root with an appstore, tinynoot ought to work.
I cobbled it together for the glowlight but all the parts are from the established NST environment - clockwork, su, busybox, adw, button savior, nook touch and nook color tools.
I include the Amazon appstore, which of course is also an app that likes to be always on, but none of the gapps because the framework for the glowlight stuff hasn't been looked at yet.
The install scripts are based on minimal nooter, which is CWR based file and directory creation.
I didn't include a modded uRamdisk because I find that adb wireless is enough on its own to let me use wifi adb (dont' recall if I've used usb ADB but I suspect it would work, in assocation with nook color tools) - I can shell in via ADB and just need to type su to get superuser.

You could format and use one of my minimal zips instead of the full ones, they had only the neccesary apps and libs for Gmail (manual sync) and "Market" to work correctly, nothing more, nothing less, no maps, etc.
Now everything is a bit outdated, as I said, I'll work on this again and update the zips etc.

IT WORKS!
thanks!!! it works like a charm
Just thought I'd chime in here and confirm also.. Good find

Have any of you attempted to install play store apps before?
These instructions did not work for me. Maybe due to previous install attempts.
Even when I clear data and uninstall the apps then re-install, it still has my account name there and I get 'NO CONNECTION - RETRY"
May have to Reset box again.

i had previously installed the store with no luck prior to today. i just installed the apks from the second link above after installing xposed, restarting, and enabling the HDXposed module. The store started right up.
@jljaries42 if you haven't tried already, used titanium backup to uninstall the existing versions then try this method
@nhumber did you already have the first step xposed installed or you skipped it altogether and it's working for you?

Followed instructions to a T.. not a newb here but did not work for me.. perhaps you had allready done something else before doing that? When i launch the play store it never opens.. (well opened for a brief second then goes back to launcher)
Worked for me no problem! Even grabbed a few of my emulators from the play store. Thanks.
Working now
Used Titanium to get rid of old google apps/data
Re-installed google apps.
Most important - enable Xposed module - CHECK THE BOX
Reboot gave me a scare - it displayed the FireTV update screen - Installing new software. But no update occurred.
Even then it had 'NO Connection'
Cleared play store data - Then it worked

I had had Google play store, framework and services etc... Installed before and it had said no connection. When trying to run play store. Before following the instructions above I had uninstalled all of the Google apps through the amazon settings-apps menu except the one that doesn't show (play services?). That one I installed over the old one using adb install -r package name.apk. and it worked. Have you also enabled 3rd party sources with sqlite editing of the settings.db?
I already had everything installed from my previous attempts I just installed the exposed modules and cleared data on the play store
How is everyone getting around everything saying it isn't compatible?

Hi, I'm trying to make this work. I installed everything. Installation seems fine. I launch xposed framework. It sees HDXPosed modele BUT using the FTV remote if I click on it to activate I receive a "This module doesnt provide a user Interface" and the module remains inacttive.
If I try to launch Google Play store is appears for a moment then shuts down. I think it depends by the fact the module is not active.
Since I dont have a keyborad right now, is there a way to activate it manually?
Thanks.

This works great! Finally this device is starting to come along! I wasnt able to install the module without a keyboard and then i had to power cycle manually from there to get the changes to take effect.
UPDATE: Play store is missing certain apps like Youtube, poweramp full etc =/.. Maybe build.prop edit can resolve

If you follow the procedure on the xbmc wiki it does in fact go to sleep. It is the method i use.
Also adb after rebooting and trying a few different things... i adb install -r all the apk's again and that seemed to do it.
Not sure why it didnt work the first time.
