What are you want exactly? your firmware is rootable! just root, prevent ota, install gapps if you wish.

took a few attemps click twice and check dev options also star SuperSU
Yeah, a lot of times. Now SuperSU works, but any file manager, I don't understand.
use es explorer check settings make sure root is on and show hidden files
After Installing this update your device will be restored to factory defaults, please backup your data.
You can downgrade from 13.4.5.3 and earlier version to 13.3.2.8.
From 13.3.2.8 you can upgrade to 13.4.5.2.
Put roolback file into the Internal storage folder of your Kindle.
Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings, and then tap Settings. Tap Device, and then tap System Updates. Tap Update.
If Kindle do not find update try to do this with wifi off.

did you turn off wifi? and check that fully file downloaded.i cant seem to downgrade i keep getting invalid update error, Any other steps?
I do every step one by one,4.5.3-->3.2.8-->4.5.2-->root,and every step worked.
But after all this,"Setting"fiction can't work,I think maybe restart can help,so i do it.
And now,my device(HDX7) is stuck on the "Kindle fire" opening word.:crying:
Can anybody help?Thx so much.![]()
yes its because renaming DeviceSoftwareOTAcontract.apk"Kindle"is grey,and "fire"is gold with shining.
do you think it's because of I change name of "DeviceSoftwareOTAcontract.apk" ,I think now,my device is not a real brick,because when i connect it to my computer,there is a warning tone,and my assistant software on pc can found HDX7 and r/w data.
.
adb install path-to-apex/apex.apk
adb shell
pm block com.amazon.kindle.otter
adb shell
pm unblock com.amazon.kindle.otter
reboot
factory resetted, correct md5, and failed again and again.
every time, the progress bar stopped about half position of total.
First verify you have a 3rd gen HDX (Apollo 2.2 GHz processor); 4th gen (Saturn 2.5 GHz processor mfg after Sept 2014) can not be downgraded.
Reboot your device and let it sit for 10-15 min before checking for updates. You can also attempt a factory reset from the native FireOS recovery menu (power + vol-up). However, I recommend reserving that for a last resort as sometimes factory resets can lead to more problems.
Be aware your device does NOT need to be in flight mode (nor WiFi disabled) when initiating the roll back from 4.5.5 -> 3.2.8. The danger comes once you are on 3.2.8. If a device receives and processes an OTA update while on 3.2.8 it will hard brick. Also note flight mode and radio status will not carry over from 4.5.5 -> 3.2.8. Both must be set while/after you boot 3.2.8 for the first time. This is where many get burned.
Give those suggestions a try and post back if still having difficulties.
