Someone gave me a kindle fire 1st gen and i really have no use for it as is. I wanted to know if it would be possible to put Kali Net Hunter on it, I know they don't support it, but I figured I could try and follow the guide to porting it over to a new device. Any thoughts?

Hello, I would like to know if you are working on any custom rom for the amazon fire hd10 2017.
I ask it because as you have already managed to root the tablet we could use flashfire as in the case of the amazon fire 7 5th gen.
PD: For those who say that first look in the forum I have already done and I have not found anything.
Thanks
I have this Fire HDX 8.9 3rd gen https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BYHTK5Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I recently tried to start Optimum app for tv viewing and it claims it no longer works on my OS version and doesn't provide any other information. I have Fire OS 4.5.2 from December 13, 2014. It was rooted previously with TWRP, but I haven't done anything since then. I think I need to get to 5, but does the 3rd gen HD 8 work or support it? Any recommendations on firmware?
edit
I see that's there's other Kindle forums, but the server keeps timing out on me trying to list them.

Looks like your device doesn't support Fire OS v5
Since you have TWRP, you can flash one of many ROMs (up to Nougat) found here:

Hello,
My 2 year-old Fire HD 10 (7th) tablet is running on Fire OS 5.6.6.0 which is based on Android 5 as obvious. Everything works great actually, but I sometimes need to install some office apps. But sometimes I can't find them in Play Store. So that it is kinda challenging to find the suitable apk file.
Shortly, is it okay and possible to flash Fire OS version 7 to my HD10(fireos 5) tablet?
Did anyone try?

It is not a good practice posting the same question in 2 areas of the same device.
That being said, no it wont work...
You are at Amazon's mercy. If you try to flash a different rom not made for the HD10 (7th) it will not work. Your options are to unlock and install lineage 14.1 (which is android 7.1.2) or stay with amazon...

Hi all
I have an Amazon FireTV (either 1st or 2nd Gen (SD slot)) currently running Fire OS 5.2.7.6 (659654620) and Fire TV Home Version 6242054.1.
So firstly how can I tell which Generation the box I have is? SD Slot = 2nd Generation
Secondly I am considering replacing with the latest FireStick 4k given they are currently £39.99.
I have found this article (https://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tv-st...-powerful-streaming-device-in-amazons-lineup/) which helps me think keeping the FireTV 2nd Gen is the way forward.
So should I just root and replace the OS on my FireTV to optimise.
I welcome your opinions and advice...

Install "Informer" app from Amazon appstore to know the type/generation and full specifications of fire tv stick that you have .
Greetings and Salutations!
I have an Amazon Fire HD 8 (KFGIWI) a.k.a. 6th Generation tablet and I've been recently considering root/unlock in order to install a custom ROM. With no TWRP and/or LineageOS support for the device it's clear my options are limited. I was following this thread with interest
[discontinued][ROM][unlocked][ford,austin] Fire Nexus ROM [26 MAY 2019] but it would seem this thread has since been locked as the developer has moved on to other projects.
I don't see any recent posts in this forum about this device. Has no one managed to "crack" the 6th Generation Fire? Any success stories? I'm about to pay to have someone root/unlock my device for me.. but only if I can get something even as unrecent as Android 7
Please, indulge me with your Two Cents
I too have just picked up a 2016 HD 8 hoping to root/install lineageos, but have seemingly hit the brick wall that it isn't possible for some reason...?!
Anyone able to shed any light on this? Have seen success with the 2015 and 2018 versions... why is this one such a problem?

It's possible to get root, but there's no way to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM that I know of. So, you can do stuff like disable amazon apps including the launcher (so the home button will use your own favorite launcher) and try to make the best of what there is on FireOS, but it's an ancient android version with a lot of crap on it, and it's getting less useful by the day. I would love it if I could make mine more useful. It really is tempting to just sell it and get a different year's version that is more hackable, but part of me doesn't even want to ever buy an Amazon tablet again. Nothing but trouble from these things.
For root, use these.

It is notably missing the line for the launcher, though. If you've got something like OpenLauncher installed, additionally do this:
`pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher`
I recommend getting additional apps from F-Droid rather than adding Google apps and services. This thing has enough spyware on it as it is.
