Warning to all of those still running the stock Rom, amazon is pushing a new update and as usual it breaks your root.
Just got my refurby one, Left mine on my table while getting root instructions. Rebooted automatically. Should have turned wifi off. Damnit. Still got Google framework but market force closes
updated to 6.3.1 and used kindle utility to root and flash rom
Hey, anybody know what new content Amazon has included in the update?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using XDA
Software update 6.3.1 "brings additional parental controls to Kindle Fire, including the ability to password-protect purchases, disable access to specific content libraries, and block access to the Silk Web browser," according to Amazon.

Rooted no more after only one day. I've had my Kindle for a month and took me this long to take the plunge to root.
Back to square one! Does KFU .9.5 work as before?
Tried rooting through the 3.x method, got stuck on the kindle fire logo on one command and nothing happened for minutes. Reset, nothing. No light whatsoever. Bricked. Damn.

not bricked, you are in fastboot mode, flash recovery, flash firefirefire and set the bootmode back to 4000
Kindle Fires are damn near impossible to brick.
Hi guys,
I was following the tuto Installing Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd-Bootloader + TWRP Complete Tutorial but now mi KDF is not booting. The KDF logo blinks indefinitely.
I followed all steps, I did my back up, I ran the fireflash utility and I didnt get error.. the only different is I had the factory OS version 7.4.2. I didnt get an error message or something.
Did I brick my KDF? :crying: Please help to recover my KDF
Can you access recovery?
Volume up and power while booting
If you can you can reflash a ROM

Thanks mrkhigh for your answer.. No, I am not able to access to recovery..
Do I need to get a factory cable? Can I save my KDF with one?
Thanks
Thought I'd ask since I saw this thread, does your kindle logo ever turn blue?

HI stunts513
Thanks for your answer. No. it doesn't turn to blue.. It just spinning in the normal Kindle Fire logo..
Thanks for any help on this.
Yea then you need a fastboot cable. From there you can fix it.

I had the same problem and I solved it with a factory cable

You have bricked it but you can fix it. You will need a factory cable/fastboot cable. ONce you have them, install sr tool and flash the new system images accross, if you need help message me
The Kindle app keeps force closing on me. I am running cm 11 with the most recent nightly. The app hasn't been working for a few days. I tried wiping cache and did a full wipe and reinstalled cm. I tried clearing app data and opening app with privacy guard on and off. Anyone else having problems or have a solution? The app works on cm 11 on my n4 us 4.

Starting for me last night with an update to the app...if you go to the Play Store and check out the reviews..there are few others out there also having the same issue....
UPDATE: I uninstalled the updated Kindle App...located the previous versions APK and it works. They obviously f'd it up...
Its a bug in the app not allowing it to run in Kitkat
Any updates on this getting fixed? The Amazon Appstore is doing the same thing for me now too.

Change your device id to a Nexus 7, and the apps work. Amazon clearly will not allow a kindle fire to run with full Android. Check out twa_priv's cm11 rom thread for a link to a zip file that changes the kindle id. Run it in twrp. It is the 3 or 4 post.

Hi all, I've been doing my research for nearly a week now on unleashing my kindle fire into a full android tab,
What I can't seem to find is any info on whether I can root, and install a kitkat style Rom onto my software version,
I don't just want go launcher I've decided I want a new os and I like the system on my HTC one so I'd go as close to that as possible, any help would be greatly appreciated,
Will twrp, firefirefire and the kfu all work with my version? Many thanks

I second this link. I have now rooted and put a custom ROM on two Kindle Fire HDs and have a third on it's way. I am getting this for just over $50 on eBay because they are blacklisted and can't be registered with Amazon. I put CM 11 on them and love it, they are a true android tablet now.
I'm glad someone got some use out of the updated images.
