You will want to ask in this forum which has threads for 6th gen devices. At present I don't believe there is a method to secure root (but check the HD8 forum to be sure). This forum is for 5th gen devices.

No, and olease make sure you tick this is a question box before you post, these headings are very misleading.
Hi
I'm new on here today so forgive my lack of knowledge!
I've tried to root my HD8 (6th Gen) using Kingroot but I can't download the app direct to my Kindle. I can sideload it but just wanted to check if the current Kingroot app will support the OS 5.3.2.1. If not can someone help with rewinding my Kindle to a previous OS that Kingroot will work with? Or am i just showing my ignorance there?
Cheers!
Unless there is an update I missed, Kingroot does not work on the gen 6 devices. I don't think there is a root method yet.

I took advantage of Amazon's Prime Sale and got the Fire-10 Tablet. It was able to sync most of my apps from my "little" Fire. The OS that installed itself is 5.6.2.0. Is there a way to root this OS?

Hello I am thinking about rooting my kindle fire 8 (7th Gen). What I cant figure out is after I root it can I set it to stock Androd? or do I have to use one of the roms? and which would be the best one?

You can make a bunch of tweaks to make it feel like stock Android (download play store, debloat Amazon apps, use Nova launcher, etc).
But, there are no custom ROMs available for the 7th Gen Fire 8 , nor is there a bootloader unlock. Even if there were other ROMs, we'd need a bootloader unlock before flashing ROMs.
@ggow has kindly offered to look into 7th gen HD8 bootloader unlock when he gets the time https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79456924&postcount=38

Oh wow, that's exciting. I'd love TWRP and Magisk on this thing.

@ggow I wonder if you still have this on your list of things you might look at?
We can compile a ROM using stock boot.img and flash it with FlashFire but it would be very difficult... And we will need a lot of tests...
I'm going to download the cm12 sources and see if I can do anything.
Anyone with the HD8 2017 can PM me please? Thanks!
