Hi -
I was wondering if anyone has had sucess in Rooting the same device as I have.
I was rooted a few months ago, but I upgraded to a newer firmware/build and lost root.
I see many post's about rooting the HD 10" on FireOS 5.6.4.0 with build 636559820 and no
problems, but I have not heard from anyone that has achevied Root on 5.6.4.0 build 636559920 ?
.
If anyone knows if it is possable on the ...9920 build please let me know.
.
Thank you

To block OTA Updates
Can you simply move the DeviceSoftwareOTA, SystemUpdatesUI, DeviceSoftwareOTAContracts and DeviceSoftwareOTAIdleOverride folder in /system/priv-app/ directory to /storage/emulated/0/ internal storage directory.
Or, can you delete the system app folder, DeviceSoftwareOTA, SystemUpdatesUI, DeviceSoftwareOTAContracts and DeviceSoftwareOTAIdleOverride permanently.

See Post 993. Yes it is possible...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd.../unlock-fire-hd-10-2017-suez-t3913639/page100
" confirm that I managed to root my Fire HD 10, 7th Gen, 5.6.4.0 636559920 (automatically installed Dec 12th), and install TWRP & Magisk.
The intentional bricking made me also nervous, but if you follow the steps, it works."

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
Hi everyone,
I own a 2017 Fire HD8, 7th generation, FireOs 5.6.6.0 and Android Version 5.1.1
A few weeks ago i’ve started to reed XDA to learn how to root my device (FireOS was 5.3.7.0 by the time).
Yesterday, my device did an automatic update (even though i’ve disbabled automatic updates with the Fire Toolbox v7.1) and it has updated my OS version to 5.6.6.0.
Maybe Amazon knew i was looking to root my device
Now on, is there a possibility to root my devices with the 5.6.6.0 FireOS?
Thanks all in advance for your help,
Have a nice day!

Yes, you can still root your device.
Follow this thread. Looks at post 377 for the steps to follow. You will need to download amonet-douglas-v1.2.zip and brick-douglas.zip
FYI - As of June 7, 2021 I unlocked/rooted my FireHD 8 (2017) from firmware version 5.6.7.0 following this post with only minor deviation (you need to disable modem, "sudo systemctl stop ModemManager" and "sudo systemctl disable ModemManager" before running one of the scripts)

I initially tried using WSL in windows, but ADB has lots of issues with that, I suggest you run a VM with linux to perform all of the steps, wasn't too bad.
Hi there,
I've got a Amazon Fire HD 8 7th gen running Fire OS 5.6.8.0 which I'm trying to downgrade and to attempt to root and flash TWRP with no luck. Does anyone knows a guide to get it rooted or get rid of the Amazon OS and install a regular Android version?
Thank you in advance!

This is not going to work for lem2405 as they provide the hardware and fw version of 5.6.8.0. The link you provided states: "Fire HD 8 7th gen (2017) -- up to Fire OS 5.6.4.0 build 636558520 only" clearly will not provide a solution.
Hey guys,
any update on the issue? My HD10 also runs on 5.6.8.0 and I don't want to brick it. Is the limitation "up to Fire OS 5.6.4.0 build 636558520 only" still valid?

In that thread, the first post says "NOTE: If you are on a firmware newer than 5.6.4.0, a downgrade is necessary, this requires bricking the device temporarily. (The screen won't come on at all)"
after downgrading the firmware through bricking, multiple people have reported in that thread of success un-lock of 5.6.8.0. i suggest reading the last few pages; starting from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-fire-hd-8-2017-douglas.3962846/page-32
Thank you, I just saw this thread and thought, it's over after a certain fw-version. I'm gonna read the mentioned pages and try to downgrade first.
cheers

if urs is HD10 2017 (code name suez), u are better off reading its specific thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-fire-hd-10-2017-suez.3913639/page-66
again there were reports of successful unlock w/ 5.6.7.0 and 5.6.8.0 in the last few pages. BEFORE doing the full bootloader unlock, plz note there could be other way to root access (no TWRP or custom rom though) like this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tut-root-hd10-2017-hd8-2016-2017-easy-supersu.3726443/ or this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/hd-10-2017-offline-rooting.3734860/
check around as HD10 2017 got hacked for root access very early! good luck!

How exactly would you downgrade through bricking?
Hello.
I've just dug my Fire HD8 from out of my closet, and I've heard one can install LineageOS on a HD8. [1][2] In the second link, it seems the user used 5.6.4.0, so I'm wondering how to downgrade this Fire running 5.6.9.0 (build 659658220, date July 21 2021, 2:46 AM) to 5.6.4.0 so I can install LineageOS. Looking around, I found this thread [3], but I'm unsure if it's suitable to my situation here.
Thanks.

Hi, how can I root my Fire HD 10 7th gen? I have troubles downgrading it. OS version is 5.7.0.0 . I wanna install a different operating system, other than the crappy Fire OS. If I can, what systems can I install and how?
