I'm having the same problem, my version is 11.3.1.0 and haven't been able to get googleplay on my Kindle Fire HD 7" and it is already rooted. As you stated, phonesky isn't working because it's too old. You mentioned that your link was a fix for it but whenever I go to it, it's just another root tool and when I start it up, there isn't any options for googleplay, just rooting it. With an already rooted Kindle, I've already tried the steps before and have google framework installed and all that along with the vending apk. I can get the store to open in it's first stage and log in but after I log in, it closes. From there I cannot update it and am unclear as to what I can do in your link to get it updated. Thank you very much LinearEquation, you have been very helpful and it seems as though other people were smart enough to follow your advice previously.. I'm just a bit dull I guess :/

You can install Google Play on your 2013 Kindle Fire HD but it's for window shopping only. Any attempts to download from the play store will freeze the tablet and require a reboot. Really the play store serves no real purpose on the new KFHD 7, at the moment anyway. 1mobile and f DROID are a couple spots to get apks from.

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 you :D

You're welcome :) Glad to help. I would not get an OTA update or it might break your root. If that happens you may have to wait for a new root method as updates can include patches to previous exploits.

Hi all,

It was around 4 months since I last entered the google play market.

I tried it 1 hour ago and it didin't connect. Now I have reinstall it with the adb kit and it crashes...

Is there any problem with the market version or anything like that?

Do anybody know what is going on?

Thank you very much.

Update for RunMe.bat

Hi,
for everyone who have problems with KFFirstAide:

Download the Rar (attached) and unrar the RunMe.bat to your KFFirstAide - install dir.

I have replaced all wget - commands with wget --no-check-certificate commands...

Then the RunMe.bat can download the needed images and tools again...

Cu,
Astarioth

Thank you for your answer.

Just Root, not any other rom. The rom is the original one but with the android market.

Can you help me?

Thanks!!


EDIT: GOT SOLVED WITH THE POST #46

Errors, errors and more errors :(

I have a Kindle Fire 8.9" HD.

Trying to follow this to get Google Play Store installed. I still am not successful. I hope someone can help with this!

Following the "Preferred Method" I have root access. I can run commands in KFFirstAide to backup my Kindle.

When installing the Google Play Store using Option 18, I get the following dialog:

/system/xbin/busybox

Trying the "Alternative Method" I get to step 9 and am unable to move the Vending.apk into the /system/app folder, i get a "move task failed" dialog.

I have Root Explorer "ON" on the ES File Explorer 3.1.6.

Any thoughts on where I went wrong?

I get the exact same thing. When I tried to move the APKs manually, it looks like the /system filesystem is about 99.9% full even before the first of these APKs.

Did one of Amazon's updates [intentionally] fill up this filesystem so that we can't put the Play store and other things on?

Seems that 7.4.9 and 8.4.9 may have patched root access. Should this be the case those that have the update will have to downgrade the bootloader to 7.2.3 with a fastboot cord first.

So with no fastboot cable there's no way to re root and or install a custom rom recovery etc?

Ive seen posts about kicking the kindle fire hd 8.9 to fastboot with out a fastboot cable. But when i try it it does not do so.

You are correct, you cannot use a fastboot cable on the 8.9", it does absolutely nothing for it, it is needed for the 7" though. I don't know how to kick the 8.9" into fastboot as I don't own it.

I have a kindle hd 8.9 which was rooted and had google play until the 8.4.9 update, which bypassed the OTA block I put on when I rooted previously. I had to stock restore because I could not re-root and my kindle was running slowly. Now I am having the same problems with Google Play. I was able to get a very old version of Google Market working, but it will not download anything probably because there's no space. I don't understand why Amazon won't just let us use google play store. Its ridiculous. Most of the stuff I want is free anyway, but not available on amazon.

Yes, sometime in the past couple of days my Fire HD apparently was updated, and I've lost root.

Edit...I was able to re-root 7.4.9 with bin4ry 33 option 1. I re-installled the Play Store and prerequisites, and it all seems to be working fine.

Why is it i can not do the same on my 8.9?

Ive tried rerooting with the same option. But can not get full root. Nor can i even think of getting playstore or the like installed (no root etc) .

After what I'd read here at xda, I was surprised it worked. I double-checked, though, and I'm definitely on the latest 7.4.9 and definitely rooted.

    In 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.

    Prerequisites:

    A) Kindle Fire 7" Has been Rooted. Here is Step-by-Step Noob (Simple) Instructions

    Preferred Method (Automatic Installation):

    Play Step 1: Download Kindle Fire First Aide: Windows 32-bit Version Or Windows 64-bit Version

    Play Step 2: Extract KFFirstAide.zip to C:\KFFirstAide - please remove the 32 or 64 at the end of the folder created by Winzip or 7-Zip

    Play Step 3: With your mouse, open the C:\KFFirstAide contents by double mouse clicking the C:\KFFirstAide folder

    Play Step 4: Find the RunMe.bat file. Right Hand Mouse click on RunMe.bat, select 'Send to', select Desktop (Create Shortcut). Now press the Left Hand Mouse button to create the Shortcut named RunMe.bat.

    Play Step 5: Find the RunMe Shortcut on your desktop, select it by left mouse click over the icon, then while on the icon choose Right Hand mouse click, select Properties.

    Play Step 6: This will display the RunMe properties. Select the General Tab, change the top name to KF First Aide. Then click on the Shortcut tab, click on Advanced. Check 'Run as Administrator', click OK, then click Apply, then click OK. All windows should be closed.

    Play Step 7: Double Mouse Click the new Icon named KF First Aide. You may be presented with a security window, just click Yes.

    Play Step 8: Please click on the Windows Key plus Pause/Break, this will display the Windows System Properties. Next Click on the Advanced Tab and find "Environment Variables". Please click on Environment Variables and find the Path Statement. Carefully add at the end of the Path Statement:

    Code: 
    ;C:\KFFirstAide

    Note: Do Not forget the semi-colon before the C:\KFFirstAide

    Play Step 9: That is it! The software is ready. Next we get the Kindle ready to disable OTA.

    Play Step 10: Please check the Kindle under More + > Security - make sure ADB is ON. Leave it disconnected from USB.

    Play Step 11: Launch Kindle Fire First Aide, if the ADB Driver is not installed, use Option 12 to Install the ADB Driver

    Play Step 12: Make sure the Kindle is turned ON, plugged into the Computer USB and ready. Select Option 18 to Install Google Play Store.

    Play Step 13: That is it! Google Play is Installed, you may close the software.

    Play Step 4 Now on the Kindle Fire HD use ES File Explorer to move GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk from /sdcard/Download to /system/app.
