Hi guys,
I have rooted my kindle fire with burritoroot and i got the market to work with openmarket. I am able to log in successfully and hit install on several apps. They sit at download starting. I have rebooted several times. Any ideas on a fix. I have also tried the web store and the same result.
Thanks
Update, I have also tried it at work and I am still getting the same problem with the download just sitting at starting download.
Go to applications, and select the market. Then clear Data.
Try it again.

I tried this and still the same result, I also went on my home router and forwarded port 5228 because I read on several sites that is the port that the android market uses.
I use many android devices in the same site without having to forward anything. I doubt that is your issue.

Ok, I was just trying to rule out anything on the my network end while trying to troubleshoot the device.
Would i be able to download apps from the android market on my computer and transfer them to my fire?
I am going to try putting the google talk app on the fire and seeing if i can sign in to see if that fixes the issue. I have read in many places that it fixes it for many android phones.

You may be using an older version of the market. The instrucions say to use vending.apk, but I actually ended up having to use com.amarket.apk. A lot of people were having this issue. Repeat the data/cache wipe after installing the new one.

Yes, or just pull them from your phone. Dropbox is very handy for sideloading apps. Just make sure you have installation of unknown sources enabled under Settings>More>Device

should i uninstall market opener and vending.apk before i install the the other market app?

Oh ok I was going to suggest turning off the firewall to download but nevermind. Its almost definitely the vending.apk vs com.amarket.apk issue. I had a similar problem. Also, for some reason File Expert would not keep the permissions changed when I changed them. I sideloaded Root Explorer and it worked like a charm. Good luck getting it working.

Wow.... I rooted my kfhd using adb commands manually. Thanks to Revs video.
I have no idea where you went wrong. Aren't you supposed to use 2 tools to completely root the kfhd? What is "señarate"? You may want to post this in the thread where you got your root advice. You can check out the Kindle Fire First Aide tool (link in my signature ) which may help you start over from scratch.
Good Luck!

Errors
Hey man, this is great for the most part. However I followed your steps and I constantly get service errors no matter what I'm running. Have you gotten these errors to stop? Also have you found anything more about getting the play store to work?
Thanks,
Sean
Google play not working. Gmail is though. I'm using the play store by logging in via the silk browser, but unlike with the nexus 7 I just returned, I can't get the paid versions I've already bought for my Android phone. Im NOT paying rwice for the same apps (ie Poweramp). I like the Kindle overall, don't mind its Amazon overlay, but completely resent their blocking me from using their competitor's app-store. If they want to really go toe 2 toe with Google, let them develop a full new yet redundant operating system that rivals OSX & Android. Guess I'll have to root. Is not like they own every Kindle & we're just renting like the cable box for $10/mo.
These are not the droids you're looking for.
Yeah, I'm unable to get Google Play to work with this method, and it creates a lot of errors with services and wireless connections in the process.
For all of you having problems: did you also download and install google play services as well? I hear thats required for a lot of the gapps to work.
I can confirm the following apps work with signin and sync and so on:
Maps
Keep
Play Music
Youtube
Drive
Chrome Beta
Gmail
I did need to install play services 3.2.66. And i do get random "com.google.android.gapps" crashes even when not using a google app, but it is easily dismissed.
Hmm i see that the google services framework are version 4.0.4-338691, and the google account manager is 4.0.3-239410. Perhaps it would be better to use 4.2.2 versions (if they exist) ?
Anyone seen those around in apk format? (i've only seen them in the gapps packages for cm10.x and i think they need to be repacked, which i do not know how to do...)
check goo.im for gapps packages you need.

That's exactly what i did. But those come in a .zip for flashing on top of a AOSP rom without google stuff. I'm pretty sure you can't just extract the apks and install them (at least not the one i tried). As i mentioned i expect they need to be repacked in proper apk form, which is something i do not know how to do.

Yes, that's would be one way to do it. Or if you go to the web page using your Kindle Silk Browser then you can download directly to your Kindle Fire HDX.

It's simply a zip file containing the files GAPPS use and the command instruction including where to put all the files. At the moment, since there is no root, it's not possible to write some files to the system folder/directory. But for the APK files, if you install them it would put them on the user application space rather than system application space like normal GAPPS do on custom ROM(s). That said, not all the google apps will require those files to be in the system space. So, no worry there. You would simply unzip the file and try to install the apks and move the files to the user space if you can. That's the best you could do for now. I could write a little script file to do that as I did on the Nook HD+. Hence that's the root and GAPPS was done in the Nook HD+ at the beginning. I'm not gonna bother writing any script as I'm still waiting for my 2nd replacement unit. If this thing goes south again, I would just return the device and wait to see if I would get the new 2013 Nexus 7/10. I might even keep my eyes open for those 8inches Windows 8.1 tablet also.
Are notifications and background sync working for Gmail? I've read conflicting reports.
Thanks!
i dont know if this is known but, i just downloaded the latest google services, search and youtube app, i now have all cards in my google now, and signed into youtube.

I've not tried it for a week or so but ended up just removing the google stuff as it just kept crashing.

No FC at all works fine, all I did was go to Google play, search for the apps, find the version numbers, and downloaded through websites on Google search, Android police have them if I remember rightly, all I did was I stall the apks through es file explorer

When you say latest "services" do you mean Google Services Framework or Google Play Services? What version of each do you have installed?
No more google crashes after many resets and installs of Google service. Its possible. Everything is working without errors .otherwise I would of kept it off. I installed vending.apk inside system and outside... followed cowboy's instructions..very happy. I'm rooted though

+1 to @Chief85 question, which one was it @angry english ?
This's just a quick guide on how to get the Google Play Store installed on the latest Fire OS 5 for Amazon Fire tablets with no Root, PC or ADB required.
This should work on any Amazon Fire tablet released from 2014 onwards (4th Generation and above) that's running Fire OS 5.X.
NOTE (1): To install the required APKs, you may need a file manager from the Amazon Appstore, I used TOTAL COMMANDER - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00H4IHJ8M/
With later versions of Fire OS or SILK, you can just tap the download notifications as and when you download the APKs or use SILKs download manager, removing the need for the above file manager.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOTE (2): You'll also need to enable 'Apps from Unknown Sources' found under Settings > Security of the Fire OS.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now simply download the 4 APK files below using the stock web browser, SILK and install them in that same order, then POWER OFF and RESTART your tablet and afterwards open up the Google Play Store and log in with your Google account:
1. Google Account Manager 5.1-1743759
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...unt-manager-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/
2. Google Services Framework 5.1-1743759
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-framework-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/
3. Google Play Services 11.5.09 (230-164803921)
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...s-11-5-09-230-164803921-android-apk-download/
4. Google Play Store 8.3.41.U-all [0] [FP] 170066753
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...41-u-all-0-fp-170066753-android-apk-download/
In future, the Google Play Store and Google Play Services apps will auto update themselves in the background.
How to install? (Sorry, newcomer!)
I have downloaded the 4 APKs mentioned, but what is the procedere to install them?

Are those the prerequisites for Google play store? i have android system in my car multimedia. it does not have the google play store in it, and when i tried to install it (only google play store) it won't lunch and crash..
so i understand it needs all the 3 apk's in addition..
the version of android i have in my car is 4.4.2 - will the above apk version fit? or do i need different version?

Off topic question (does not pertain to device) - you'll need to ask your question elsewhere. And yes, different versions are needed depending on device type, capabilities and Android build.
I had to install latest Play Store version to get it all running on our Kindle Fire (think it's 5th gen). Version recommended above just went back to home screen.
Is there any way to get multiple Google accounts working using this method? I have a couple accounts that I need to have on devices for various reasons.
Excellent work!

Thank you. Google Play Services on my Kindle Fire crashed and wouldn't allow me to access any Google Apps including Chrome, Gmail etc.. The message indicated that the apps wouldn't work unless an updated version of Google Play Services was installed and it seemed like the update wouldn't go through. I reset my Kindle to factory settings and followed your instructions and it seems great so far...not asking for a Google Play Services update. Thank you again Gilly10.

Hi, so you can update FireOS. But what about the google framework? Does it get updated automatically? Or if a new versione will be released, do you need to unistall the 4 apk first, and than install a newer version of the 4 apk?
Seems this method is no longer functioning. Applications are not searchable - only the webview application comes up on search results. When I search for my previously downloaded applications, they come up, but state that the administrator has not given me permission to install this item.
Furthermore it is the Google Play store for Work?
Any thoughts? This is happening on 3x Kindle Fire HD 8 devices, all of which worked previously. Running 5.3.1.1.

parsing errors occur for a few different reasons
possibly one of these, but not limited to
app is not compatible with the os version
not much you can do about that other than try an older version of the app
there is a problem with the package installer
try wiping installer app data
some kind of caching error, or another app causing install failure
try a factory reset and/or flash firmware with adb sideload in recovery

Having exactly the same problem. Followed the guide to install play on my daughters new fire 8 and keep getting stuck in this loop!
Same problem on my new Fire HD 8 with Fire OS 6.3.0.1.
Keep getting message about updating Google Play services and back to the loop to sign in and checking .
hi had same problem with fire HD 8 fire OS 6.3.0.1 but i think i accidently found the solution. I installed google play using PAK files as you probably have too. the thing is it will allow you to use your gmail account UNTIL you turn off the tablet whereupon it will do the looping thing the solution i found was install Play Games. After that my account has since worked properly. you may have to make a new gmail account to download the Play Games app however (i had a total of 6 by the time i stumbled on this solution lol)
