hi I want to know if I can use qemu with kindle fire first gen (10.2.6 firmware)
If you read other threads you will find out that the first gen kindle fire only runs 6.3.1. No higher. Anything higher the that (Like 10.x.x) would be a second gen or kindle hd. Please use the search feature. You will find your way to the correct sub-forum

I thought I would share this with the XDA Kindle Fire Community as well.
I've had my Amazon Kindle Fire for a while now, and I've decided it was time to see what kind of modifications I can load onto it. Since I have a Google Nexus 7 on its way, I imagine that a Kindle Fire loaded up with Jelly Bean might make for a decent comparison tablet.
In part 1, I started off by rooting my Kindle Fire and installing the Google market, or Play Store on it using the Kindle Fire Utility.
In part 2, I take it a step further by installing Teamwin's TWRP Recovery, and then using it to install Energy's CM9 ROM.
And finally, in part 3, I go for the gusto and load up Hashcode's Jelly Bean ROM. Very slick.
Overall, I am impressed with the Jelly Bean performance on the Kindle Fire, and I look forward to seeing it battle against my Google Nexus 7... once it gets here.
Please direct your comments and questions toward the REVTV Forums. I've created a brand new section specifically for the Amazon Kindle Fire and this new video series.
Enjoy!
Not reserved. LOL
I am looking for the complete guide / or steps to make my new Fire tablet as close to possible to my Galaxy Tablet which was destroyed in a fire.
I am quite savy when it comes to this sort of stuff so I don't think I should have a problem following some good advice.
I see more on the 5th Generation but I didn't want to go by anything there since this one is the latest model (Fire HD 8 6th Generation).
I have found bits and pieces but not enough to be able to follow through ... Any leads would be greatly appreciated !! Thank you !
j.b.
You clearly need to root your tablet to do that, but we have to wait until someone finds a way to do it for the 6th generation
Unfortunately, when I turned on my Fire tablet this evening, I left it sitting on the counter unattended and when I came back it had auto updated to Fire OS 5.4.0.0. I hope this doesn't make the chances of root even less for my tab. Did anyone else get this update? Tablet is the Fire HD 8 6th Gen.

Wrong forum for HD 8; see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10
I am not extremely savvy about all this but I know enough to break things. I was messing around with my Kindle (not sure what gen, but its old) and I put it into fastboot using adb. When it rebooted it went directly to red screen. I have tried all the utilities I can find and even flashed a few things but still goes into red screen. Everything I read about talks about android but my fire is old school amazon. What can I do?? Please help

I guess it's a first Gen then. I bought it in 2012. It IS 10".

The Fire OS6 has been out for a while, the Hardware specs of the FireHD8 7th gen are similar to the 8th generation except for few tweaks. So will it be possible to install fire OS6 on Fire HD8 7th generation?
It will be released as an update in the future as per Amazon support chat.
