I recently got a Kindle Fire HD 7" and was curious if there is a 11.3.2.2 root. I plan on flashing CM11 or some other form of a 4.4 KitKat rom.

That is the 2013 kindle fire hd, its not flashable, well it is but only with a kindlewater rom because we can't get around it's locked bootloaded. So because of this we can't flash a custom kernel, and there are no 4.4 based roms available for it. I'm not the best with memorizing info about the 2013 but it should be rootable, i don't remember which version of the os wasn't rootable but all in all even the latest os can be rooted, but you need a fastboot cable first which i assume downgrades it then roots it, or maybe not idk.

I have successfully returned 2 different Kindle Fires back to complete stock just by flashing the actual Amazon update (6.3.1) downloaded directly from their website. For a more official method goto this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25730650

Hi I am having a kindle Fire HD 8.9.
Today I was trying to root and install kitkat 4.4.2 PAC custom rom over fire OS 8.4.8.
I was able to successfully root the device using Bin4ry v31.
However when I tried to install the TWRP recovery partition using fire flash v11 I got a red screen immediately after rebooting.
The kindle is unusable currently and any help would be very useful.
Many Thanks.
Please post in your device subforum instead of the general PAC Q&A section. You will have better luck finding help there and it will make it easier for others who have the same issue to find the thread

Managed to Root Kindle HD 7, OS 7.4.9
after long search,,,,,could not find and was end up with nothing
till i remember once, that i had rooted chinese tab vis some private app....
so i give it try on the Kindle HD 7, with the last OS 7.4.9,,,,and capooooooooom
it worked, and rooted.
try it for yourself
http://www.kingoapp.com/?utm_source=Android ROOT
and then i used this link to make the kindle dual boot, so i do not lose the amazon feel.
http://rootjunkysdl.com/
let me know all
Bin4ry root works, too. Kingo Root is referred to as "untrusted" by many developers because it installs a "fishy" app to the system.
did not work for me at all, i used the v31 totally did not work
and after reviewing allot of thread, allot have same my issue...cannot root with the new 7.4.9
so what to do now? am rooted using it
I used this method meant for kindle 7" 2013. Works perfectly on my Kindle fire hd old gen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544736
Use root_script.zip and then sideload superuser.apk
7.4.9 Works great.
Tried Binary v31, v33, v34, v36 - didnt work. I read somewhere that after using bin4ry v31, even if it shows error, have to run qemuboot after running v31. I didnt try this.
did not work at all...tried it alaready
Towelroot will work 100% no doubts about it.
what worked for me
i used bin4ry v.35 for my kindle fire hd running 7.4.9
i did my friends kindle (same model) using bin4ry v.33
and my brothers kindle fire hd (same again) using this threat

This. binary works fine for Kindle Fire HD's. Those running a 2013 without camera and HDMI will need to use firerooter.
I used kingroot to root 5 kindle fire HD 7" tate devices no problems found
just chiming in to say that Kingo Root worked on mine running 7.5.1 when all others mentioned here did not.
BArt.

Hi ONYXis, don't know how you found it.. but if the apollo version is posted then I can find out if towelroot works or not...
Edit: Just saw that you were stating towelroot is not working.
No link for apollo now. I really surprised cause it must be there https://kindle-fire-updates.s3.amazonaws.com/update-kindle-14.4.1.1_user_411009920.bin

This seems a bit circumspect. While excited, I am not willing to brick my Kindle to get the new update. Does anyone know if it is possible to install this in a slot rather than on your daily running rom?

You need to flash new boot.img to use this update. So...only stock slot update. And lose root and safestrap for indefinite time.

Okay. I went back to unrooted stock to await the update, but forgot how annoying it was. Your screenshots do imply that the update has a better ui, Thanks.

Updated succesfully for hdx 7
p/s : Can't not root with towel root
Probably going on a long shot here, but how about Framaroot?
So, I bit the bullet. It is nice so far. Does anyone know where sub debugging went? Without that, no root.
Edit... It is, oddly enough, right where it is supposed to be. Tap your serial a few times to enable developer options. Still, no towelroot as advertised.

I regret to upgrade the Fire OS4
.....there is no new features
and towelroot can not work on that...
I just want to know how to downgrade to 4.2.2....

Read near the end of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782159&page=20
So far, this is the only method we know of to downgrade on higher firmware versions.
However, keep in mind that the instructions were written for up to 13.3.2.6/14.3.2.6. As such, it may very well brick your device.
Perhaps @kaeru00 may have some input on this.
Yeah， This method can’t work for now。

Because many files have been changed。
This method will brick the device。。
I think I need to wait for a long time.
Thank you all the same。
I think this version 13.4.1.1 is unofficial of Amazon . We only have download link of HDX 7 but not HDX 8,9 , in case the NEW HD 8,9 had Sangria official .
This version is official. Maybe some bugs were found in appolo and we will see x.4.1.2 at this week for both devices . Or just apollo's link will alive. Anyway this is Fire OS 4 .
About downgrade...Without root it is impossible.
About "new features" .. All of this was described here - https://developer.amazon.com/public...mp-The-Next-Generation-Of-Amazon-Fire-Tablets Any surprises.

so ，do not upgrade。
Is there any changes in interface? I hate the old back button.
And what if we have playstore before updating? can it still work after updating and losing root?
Thanks

One nice new feature is widgets are supported out of the box. There is a bug where it pretends to let you select a default launcher, but it does not stick.
Someone tried Vroot on this build?
Are there any custom roms available for this device? I'm sick of Fire OS. I also don't understand why the 7in got them so quickly and we have to wait.
Need c/ rom for amazon hd 10 anyone help out there
Is anyone devolving a custom rom for amazon fire hd10 5th gen thanks in advance
