I'm running a rooted kindle fire HD (2013) on 11.3.1 and would like to install twrp but I am unable to get it in FB mode and if I can avoid it id like to do it without a factory cable. Suggestions?

It's not even remotely possible at the moment to flash TWRP to the 2013 KFHD yet.

The locked boot loader.

You can't just flashed things on a tablet. The bootloader is locked and no second bootloader mod is available. Second is TWRP images have to be slightly modified to use on any Kindle in the first place.

I understand that the boot loader is locked, but what holds up a custom, or edited boot loader? I'm experienced in using these software's, but not in their development.
If your asking what I think your asking it's an exploit, the cpu on the kindle is a high security model that checks for a signature on the boot loader, if it isn't signed the kindle won't turn on. We found a way to exploit something amazon missed a while back for the other's and that allowed us to use 2nd boot loader, unfortunately for the newer kindles they were released after that had been patched so we don't have an older version of the boot loader that's compatible with your device that can be exploited. *sarcastically high fives amazon*

Is there a way to install play store on the 2013 model kindle fire hd? I tried some online tutorials and every time when i start play store it will crash saying Google Services Framework stopped working
Can you explain what the exploit was? I recall flashing the custom boot loader at line 1049 (or something to that affect) in the memory, but what was it that made that possible?
Edit* looking back at the kftt process, I see a stack override was used. I understand that the file was pushed to the sd card, but what did it actually do?

Google Play Store for the 11.1.x.x 2013 Kindle fire HD is for window shopping only. Any attempts to download will freeze the tablet. At this point, the answer to your question is no. You can sideload about any app and make it work though. FDroid and 1mobile are great sites to get the latest apks.

No, because I didn't ever really looked into it.
For the Kindle Fire HD 7 a 2nd bootloader had to be flashed. It had to be flashed before 7.3.0 because the next firmware release patched the bootloader. This is why a 7.2.3 bootloader image had to be flashed as well (to make the exploit possible.) Since no exploit exists, at the moment, there is no way to even flash any unsigned files.
The stack override file makes it so you can install unsigned recovery and boot images.
That would be very difficult to do, and also very expensive considering how many hard bricks it would probably make. I mean I suppose if someone with the know how analyzed several bootloaders for all the devices that have signed boot loaders that are omap based we might be able to get a better idea of what the signature is that is added to the file to replicate, but no one seems to have done that, probably because its immensely difficult I would imagine. I kinda compare it to making a keygen for a program that spits out a random code and asks for the code that goes with it. Though I'm assuming way more difficult.
