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

Kindle Fire HD 7" 11.3.2.2 root?

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.

Managed to Root Kindle HD 7, OS 7.4.9

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.

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.

Downgrading my Kindle

Hello I have a Kindle Fire HD 8 2016 on 5.6.8.0, is there a way to safely downgrade it without bricking it? Or a way to do it and unbrick it without it undoing the downgrade? Last time I downgraded it then unbricked it and my WiFi and Bluetooth wouldn't work so I had to upgrade it, though it wasn't on the version I wanted. I could still root it but it had no WiFi so I couldn't do anything else.

same here, looks like some people got the '
Move to Lineage-14.1 from Fire OS 5.6.7.0
' to work from our fireos quote: '
Confirm this worked for me as well for FIreOS 5.6.8.0! Moved to Lineage 12.1 (need working camera).
Just a small tip. Don't waste your time with Windows Subsystem for Linux. Better use normal installation or live-system instead. '
im going to try it, I'll let you know how I get on

Yes! Went to lineage 11 then clean install to 12 following the offline root and install method. Issues I had were:
Microsd not working, no headphones via physical cable as well as battery life would tank with WiFi on. There's a fix thread under the lineage 12.1 install that had fixes for all of these. Working great as a cbr reader and web browser now.

It will be better in Lineage than FireOS? I'm really new with this tablet and I dont want brick it...

Fire HD 10in 7th gen, OS 5.6.0.1. Been so long since I rooted, I have no idea how to unroot.

So, I have had this thing for quite a while. And I rooted it very early on. It's been so long, I have NO idea what method I used, and at this point Amazon apps are just not working, presumably because the Fire OS is so out of date. I'd like to unroot, update the OS, get those apps working, and then maybe use Fire Toolbox to redo any customizations, and I already tried FTB and it doesn't work. I have tried resetting to factory default, and even wiping the partition, and no luck. SuperSU is still not uninstallable and I can't get even search for updates. If someone could clue me in, either with instructions or pointing to a thread with instructions, on how I might unroot this thing, I would very much appreciate it.

The new firmware will overwrite root.
