My daughter just won a new Kindle Fire in a raffle. It's running version 10.4.3. I'd like to install stock Android Jelly Bean on it and load her favorite educational apps from Google Play. Is there any safe way to do that?
All the instructions I could find seem to be for older versions of the Kindle firmware so I'm a little hesitant to try unless someone can confirm that it won't brick the device. :)

Root using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075959
I used this yesterday to root and install Google Play.Do this and the apps you want should work.Also you can use disable lockscreen ads and stop OTA updates once rooted.

bump!

I'm hoping someone can give instructions on how to get a custom rom on the kf2 rooted running 10.4.3. I read through all the posts on downgrading bootloader etc... I just don't want to brick before I get my fastboot cable (estimated delivery date weeks from now) and be SOL.I appreciate any instructions or advice on a method that won't brick on the current firmware.Thanks!!!!
