[Root] Kindle Fire HD 7" 2013 (KFSOWI) 11.3.1.0 [CLOSING]

[shivadow]

Its not worth google play unless you don't have any other android devices. Most apps will run under amazon but you have to get them elsewhere.

for those who want to keep using the amazon appstore I recommend 1mobile as a secondary appstore

I tried to install the ICE rom, but it hangs at reboot.
and i wasn't able to execute this step "When Kindle boots to Recovery use vol. button to select factory wipe and power to select."
because there was no recovery.

Now it hangs at the white "kindle fire" logo.
Can anyone help?

I'll look into into it. There's a magazine on Amazon that isn't on Google. Thats all it is.

I've got as far as the Recovery, wipe and all, but the result is the same as yours, device hangs at the white logo...

It sounds like either you aren't letting the dd command complete, or the /sdcard is getting erased. The push and dd take quite awhile. I will be releasing a tested kindlesuite2.0 with a GUI today that can restore it and dd the custom images

I rooted my Kindle after I used fire rooter and now my screen is stuck saying "booted successfully" I can't get into anything, I do have fastboot cable any help or ideas?

I kept getting that, needed to be fully charged before restoring with fire rooter

Can the creator of the ROM maybe post Hashes of the zip-file? Maybe there was a download error. Because I'm sure i did everything right.
The Kindle was fully charged and i waited for every command to finish. Will try again with the new kindlesuite though.

EDIT: And Kyle, can you please add a Hash-Check after the ROM download in your tool? Thanks.

EDIT2: I can't flash the ROM via the suite because it wants to connect via adb, but that isn't possible, since I'm stuck at boot..


EDIT3: I tried to flash it again. But still the same. Btw: I have no recovery, so i can't select wipe...

So this will root the kindle? Or just flash and install ICE?

 

[kyleberry.graphics]

It will root also

Just to update, everything still running peachy. It's amazing was a difference it makes having PROPER Android on the thing and not being stuck with Amazon's stuff.

Always knew the Kindle was a great tablet hampered by its software. It's glorious now! BTW, is there any way to get live wallpapers running? The ones I've bought for other devices aren't showing up under purchased apps on the Play Store, I assume I'm flagged as incompatible. Just wondered if it was possible to get them working or if I should just not bother.

 

[kyleberry.graphics]

I've installed a livewallpaperpicker, but haven't been successful yet. Eventually it will be possible, its just low on the list

i got yesterday my factorycable to root my KF. i use the kf suite 2.0 from kyle. its not perfect but it does what it should does
becouse there any good guides for this suit: i want to say everyone who also wants to root his KF. you need to patiant. becouse kinde says after pushing the button "Root" "boot image ... done" and you have the feeling its already done, but its not done yet you need wait like 5 - 10 minutes till finished. Also the Kindle Suite -> Runme.bat doesnt say anything just "load succsesfull" maybe Kyle you can chance the text to "be patiant next step take few minutes" or so

but i want to thank you Kyle and the team on g+ who did a good work, now i can use google apps on the KF

I lifted the youtube app from another device and installed it on the kindle (amazon) and it works fine.

Edit: sign in isn't possible as it uses google services. My kindle keeps turning off during video playback but that is system wide, not just the app.

I know this is slightly off-topic...but since I've got a rooted kindle it kinda fits .....Whats the best way to get google play installed and working (able to download free/paid apps)? I've got a few games I'd like to play but they check for google play when loading and won't load without it

A while ago I tried manually installed a few apps that people said would allow play to work, however I was never able to get play to work (games that required play wouldn't recognize it and load)

EDIT: I also recall the Google services erroring out and stopping every few minutes when they were installed...wasn't a fan of that either...
