Custom ROM / CM on HD 8?

I am interested, and I am sure others are as well in removing Amazon's bloatware from their decent tablet.
I know the $49 tablet has done it, I am just wondering about compatibility.

It would be so awesome if we got CM-12.1 on the HD 8.

Would be awesome. Hopping this happens. But before this can happen we would first hear of a custom recovery option for the HD10 like TWRP. Which is more complicated then making a Rom. After that Roms can be next.
Hopefully a couple of good developers can get their hands on some HD10's to get them developing for them. :fingers-crossed:
Note: Missed the part that you where asking about HD8's not HD10's. But since HD10's are the only of the two that are rootable at the moment. I would think the HD10's are more likely to get recovery & Roms.

- I have been looking into the HD8 and HD10
- They seem to use the same firmware - both are codenamed 'thebes'
- All the known exploits have been fixed up by amazon making these devices well locked down
- The devices use the MediaTek 8135 and this has proved very difficult to work with
- The Amazon HD6 uses the same processor and while I was able to get CM-11 working, there were problems with video playback, bluetooth etc
- Getting TWRP to work on these devices has a low probability
- However if we get a working version of FlashFire for these devices then there is a possibility for a custom ROM.

Humn... Wonder if kingroot has ever been tested on the older FW on HD8 since they are the same as HD10's. Don't own one so haven't paid attention to HD8's.
Forgot about FlashFire, which would be great for HD10/HD8. Is there a way to request FlashFire support. Maybe the developer might just need some info/files from us to get it going.

I haven't ask Chainfire yet, he's seems to have a lot on his plate.
I can confirm Kingroot works on the HD8 and therefore the HD10.
I don't own either devices but was able to borrow an HD8 for a small amount of time and I managed to gain root access with the latest version of KingRoot.

Please ask Chainfire at least what he would need from us so we can get them ready for him.
I knew HD10 was KingRootable. But did not know about HD8. Thanks for verifying that. I don't even have the HD10 anymore myself. But do have long distance access to it. I gave it to a family member. But I hope to still get CM12.1 or other ROM on it for them to get the full Android experience. Hope it happens.
I do have a few 7"rs here. Thanks a lot for the ROMs you've release for it. :good:

I have had no issues with roots, Kingroot works great on all versions.
I used FlashFire which worked great, didn't need a custom recovery on Fire 7".

I can confirm that root works on the HD8, and I had the latest update

In case of issues, immediately after rebooting back into Android:
- Post /sdcard/FlashFire/lastlog
- Post /proc/last_kmsg
The latter may not be present, and is replaced on every reboot. So if you rebooted twice, no sense posting it. Please, post these things to http://pastebin.com/, so I don't need to download and open these files manually.
If you are ready to start messing around with it, this is how you get the BETA:
- Go to: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/eu.chainfire.flash
- Use the link provided on that page to download the app. Note that it may take minutes to even hours before the provided link actually works.
If you have no idea what any of the above means, you might want to wait with playing with this until proper instructions are available, and more people have tested it.

Chainfire has now responded requesting logs of folks trying to run FlashFire on the three tablets. Instructions about logging is quoted above from the OP @ the FlashFire thread.
I don't have immediate access to the HD10 tablet. So someone else with a HD10 will need to do the testing to get the logs. We will need to find at least one tester per tablet. More then one would be good too.
Guess will need folks with HD6, HD8 & HD10 tablets to ROOT & install FlashFire v31 & try to run it & save both logs to show Chainfire. Make sure you label which tablet, what FirmWare, what KingRoot & which FlashFire version you are using. Let us know which tablet you'll be testing on below.
Addendum: You can get the v31 FlashFire APK from ChainFire's G+ post:

Never mind. Tried it one more time (after posting (arghhhh!)) and it worked.

OK. I got my fire 8 on Wednesday. (Fire OS 5.0.1 - 5.1.1 downloaded and is waiting for me to install since I turned on WiFi.)
(Fastboot mode is just a black screen, no logo whatsoever, seems to respond to commands.)
Tried a few different root methods. (All failed.)
This afternoon I finally gave in, setup WiFi and used kingroot. After a few reboots, thankfully no auto fire updates, I finally got root os. (No root in adb.)
Installed SuperSU and get stuck updating binary.
FlashFire will not work since I don't have SuperSU or cm permissive.
Help.
How do I get rid of kingroot and install SuperSU?
Note :
I am very uncomfortable using kingroot.
I prefer root methods that do not require online access.

Kinda new here as I am looking to buy a Kindle Tablet.
When FireOS gets updated, do Amazon put in the latest android security patches? I think Google still releases it for Lollipop.
Reason for this is reading up, to sideload the Playstore you need to disable the OTA, but if the security patch is included then that is something I need to consider.

So in theory when 5.3.1.0 hits OTA, none of the Google Play Services, framework, Store, should be disabled and delete right if it is already installed?

Keep in mind Google Framework (Services, Store, etc) compatibility is not assured across FireOS updates. Historically this was more of a problem with FireOS v4 which didn't play well with Google components. Even if it does break someone will likely come up with a fix in short order. That said, I fully agree with @sd_shadow: go with a custom rom for the most favorable experience.

5th Gen Fire 7 OS mods, roots and downgrades

PLEASE PROVIDE LINKS TO RELEVANT ARTICLES AND FILES WHEN UPDATING THE SHEET!!!!
I don't know if it's possible to make a chart through the forums, but I was hoping you folks might be able to help me out and other users as well.
I created a Google Doc which has a few versions of the Fire OS listed and whether or not they are rootable, downgradable, can have OTA blocked, get Google Apps and have a replacement launcher.
Maybe it's a silly idea, but I figured I'd give it a shot. The sheet for now is open to all with a link. Please feel free to add more versions, information, links (in the via columns?) to instructions, etc.

5.4.0.1 can be downgraded to 5.4.0.0 https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/help/fireos-5-4-0-1-downgrade-t3671406

Very good, and overdue, idea.
Some remarks, as I cannot use a Google account:
There's no 5.3.3.3 - you mean 5.3.3.0
Sometimes 5.4.0.0 is referred to as 5.3.4.0 (that's the version string that shows up in several places)
Although "5th gen Fire 7" should be clear enough, please add the "ford" codename in a prominent place
It would be good to collect download links for stock firmware
Is it still worth listing versions < 5.3.2.1? I think so, they are the rootable ones.
Any moderator around? This one deserves to become sticky as soon as the empty cells have been filled.

I appreciate it, but I'm not sure how far that will go. Apparently some of the information is encompassed here. It's missing some of the latest information and is not organized in a way for my mind to process it very well. That's not to say it isn't organized, just hard for me to process it.

Greetings,
I want to confirm I'm understanding this spreadsheet correctly. My FireOS is 5.6.2.0, am I able to just pick and downgrade to an earlier firmware version that will allow rooting ? Or do I need to downgrade in the correct order to get back to a rootable earlier version: downgrade 5.6.2.0 > 5.6.0.1 > 5.6.0.0, etc... Or am I just out of luck and stuck with no option to root?

Downgrading to 5.4 will allow removal of *some* Amazon bloat with various restrictions. You can also install Google's Play store for access to a wider selection of apps. See relevant threads in the General section for more details.

Best read the relevant threads. Some claim success going directly to 5.4 from 5.6.2. Others take an incremental approach: 5.6.2->5.6.1->5.4.1->5.4.0. I personally believe a direct download is possible and safe but don't have direct experience to back that statement (all my Fire 7's are early 5th gen; rooted and TWRP bootable; most never saw FireOS).

If your 5th gen device is running FireOS 5.3.2.1 or higher it can not be rooted - hence no custom ROMs. Been that way for 2 years and unlikely to change. The needle isn't moving on this one.

and so...
so no developper can make rooting possible on 5.3.2.1 and upper in the future ?

If it were that simple root would have been achieved on these builds long ago. Google and Amazon have closed vulnerabilities that made root exploits easy. While it's possible another weakness will be discovered the chances are quite low IMHO.

you are right , and if that damned bootloader was not locked......so only hopes remains

You will need to find a 5.6.2.0 bin (source file). Check the 'debloating' threads as it's probably not directly downloadable via the Amazon support page; only the most recent build is referenced. Note: Amazon also maintains links to all prior builds. Just gotta find the url which is obscure.
Once you have the file it is simple to install via the stock recovery menu. Lots of documentation on that procedure in the Fire forums or via Google search.
Of course, you gotta decide if the benefit is worth the hassle. Probably not.

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 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.
