Thanks for the reply, but it didn't work. I did as you said and still had the problems. I do have interesting thing to note, however. After I completely removed anything Google (had to use ES File Explorer for half of it) and followed step 7, "Market" and "Translate" showed up under the Amazon uninstaller. This was after I removed everything Google and before I actually installed the market. They were grayed out and each had a small icon of an SD Card overlaying them. I know for a fact that the Kindle Fire (non HD) doesn't actually have an actual SD Card slot. It does, however, have a fake SD card which it uses for its internal storage. It would appear that those two apps somehow got backed-up to the fake SD card.

It Worked!
Hello, registered just to say thanks!
I had the 7.2.3 (actually updated to it the day after i open it).
The guide works great, anyway i had some issues.
The Qemu needed 3 times before it worked, (now i'm calm but one hour ago i was sweating cold...)
The first root checked said ok, after that i was trying to find the otacerts.zip to remove and i couldn't find it (it was under "telefono" [i'm italian..] non in /sda.. so i checked again the root and it said "sorry, the device does not have proper root access".
After a reboot i kept getting the "no root" message, but i kept going trough the steps and i succeded to install google play, the Go launcher, Flash with dolphin (all with your precious guides!)
What can i say, thanks again!
By the way, i keep getting the no root message..
If i may, i'd like to leave a line for italian guys, if i can help somebody not so confident in english:
Ciao, la guida funziona,(almeno con me), se avete dubbi con l'inglese fatemi un fischio!
Bye

Google Play Store - "Google play store has stopped"
redwes,
Wow, I am perplexed. The only thing left is to perform a Factory Reset, I never
recommend this but in this case it is the only solution that I can see. I am going
look over your previous posts to see if I can find a pattern that jolts my brain.
If you can wait 24 hours, I will take a few hours to research a possible solution
beyond a Factory Reset.
Update: Well, after some research it does not look promising, the Factory Reset
is the best solution at this point. I just can not make sense of what happened
to cause this problem, do you have any additional information that may help us
solve your problem?

Headlessbody,
Thank you for the feedback. Sometimes you need to open Superuser which will be found in
the Kindle Apps Drawer - this will initialize the Superuser. You will only need to open Superuser
once. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks again!

Thanks for the tutorial. Working fine on my KF HD. One question though! I believe the Amazon updates will not work on the device after root. So will we get the updates through modded Roms just like other devices or do we need to root the device again after updating from Amazon server?
Although, I wish you luck for future development venture for this device.

Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3
halesie,
Sounds like you are having serious trouble with the Google Play Store. A little hint. I learned a long time
ago to rest when I am not making progress, then start fresh the next day. I do not always understand why
this works but it really does work. If you completed Rooting, this is the hardest of the bunch, so I suspect
you are tired. Stop, get some rest away from the computer, then start fresh tomorrow. If you are still having
trouble let us know.

Kindle Fire HD OTA Updates - How to Disable
samrat_castle,
Thank you for taking time to post feedback, we really appreciate it! As of now, there are no upgraded ROM's,
we are about 6 months away from releasing a custom ROM, maybe longer. Once you Root, it does NOT disable
the update service, you will need to disable it using our script. You may use the following to disable OTA:

For one thing, I have modified (or completely deleted) several of the core files under the system app folder. The first file is the apk responsible for serving the ads on the lockscreen. Before the update, I had removed all its permissions and thus disabled the ads. Another update fixed it again and I disabled it yet again. After the "bye bye google" update, that file doesn't even exist anymore. Perhaps my method of rooting removed it, but I know I didn't purposely delete it.The 2nd file is the default internet browser. I completely deleted and now use Dolphin (w. Flash!). The updates kept adding it back and I keep on deleting it. I have also added the "hacker's keyboard" to the folder so that I could make it the default keyboard. It's no longer present (removed via updates), but is still stored at the defaults and works (almost) perfectly.I also added ADW launcher into the system app folder and that's now the default launcher. That file remains and is NOT removed with the updates. A few other core apps (Amazon link, movie app, kid mode, maybe a few others) were also removed, but had never had any harmful effects w/ any past updates. I also experimented w/ Go launcher (old version probably) and it somehow screwed up the resolution of my precious device. In ADW Launcher, non-dynamic backgrounds no longer fill the whole screen and the "sliding backgrounds" moves alot faster then before. On the plus side, boot-up time has seemed to improve from that. Go Launcher changed some settings which I have yet to find out to fix. I even uninstalled Go Launcher, but all launchers appear to share similar files/settings. Hmm.. what else? I use SuperSU instead of that other root app, if that makes a difference. My alternate (and simpler) rooting method required it verses the other file. I have backed up my device once or twice using Titnium Backup, but always try to delete them whenever possible. They always seem to come back... at least in part. Most of the apps I have come directly from the Google Store (replaced EVERYTHING w/ the google store equivalent), with only the paid apps (Free App Of The day) remaining with Amazon.I still have all of the amazon services... mostly and they seem to work. That's all I have for now.
redwes,
You just firmed up the decision. Factory Reset. Do you have a Factory USB Cable? If no, you need one!
You are going beyond most developers and taking risks that may Brick the Kindle. I am not saying
what you are doing is wrong, it is just on the EXTREME side of RISKY. Having said this, contact
SkOrPn via Personal Message place Factory Cable Info Please in the subject line and the number
of cables to order - include the ship to Country. Be sure you let him know we sent you, he will
ship it faster.

After the reboot, I get the "GoogleServicesFramework.apk has stopped" error box.
After install of vendor.apk, I get "Market has stopped" error box after I sign in. App closes.
After install of Both play versions and the reboot, I get the "GoogleServicesFramework.apk has stopped" error box. Play store closes by itself after clicking "continue".
I have done this quite a few times, with and without removing everything "google". I'm stumped.f
***Edit***
Ok, I figured it out sortof.. What I did was after everything, I reinstalled Vendor.apk and went into System>Applications>Installed Applications>Appstore (Amazon)>Did everything but uninstall.
Market works even though it is the 2.2.6 version. I want to see if it will update itself in the next day before I try to install the next 2 versions.
****Edit**** Couldn't wait. Updated play fine. CHEERS! :beer:

Google Play Store - "Google play store has stopped"
Krsmqn,
There you are, one of our loyal followers! Vending.apk is dependent on the Framework, so if the Framework
fails, the Market icon will not launch. Whenever this happens we always recommend to completely remove
all the Google Services and start from scratch. This includes a complete Uninstall from the Amazon Application
Service found in More > Applications > Installed Applications. Make sure everything Google is Uninstalled.
The latest version of Google Play Store is 3.10.10 - Vending.apk is updated by installing Phonesky.apk.
Good work! Sounds like everything is working, correct?

82In this series we will install Google Play Store to the Kindle. You will see we offer two servers to download the software the one server originates from a commercial Dropbox account and the other from a Ubuntu One commercial account, so if you are blocked by one server, you can use the other as an alternate. We publish these tutorials for you, the end user. This is how we make our living, so if you feel we did our job click on the "Donate to Me" link, if money is tight, we understand - at least take the time to post feedback, otherwise we do not know what works. We monitor the thread daily, so if you are stuck, post a detailed explanation of your problem - we respond fairly quickly.

Thanks for the spots. I was able to use 1mobile to get a couple apps that worked such as clash of clans and freekindle and supersu. I need to try the other place then because I am unable to get a googleplay that even works, I could never get it to really open or search anything anyways. What I really want to get working is an app called Parallel Kingdom but it doesn't run when I get it through 1mobile.com; I'm a little disappointed to find out that googleplay won't work on my kindle and I hope I can get other programs to work then.
Should I allow kindle to push updates again?
Thanks again LinearEquation, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and actually care about problems that need not concern you2Google Apps
Thank you for the feedback.
Next we will be offering all the updated Google Applications for your pleasure.
This is a bit more complex, so we may not have this out until tomorrow AM.2Dropbox Upgraded
Just FYI to everyone.
We just upgraded our Dropbox Subscription to the Dropbox Team Premium with 1TB
of space and unlimited traffic.
This should eliminate Storage Server Outages.
