I bought a refurbed HD 6 that came stock with 5.3.1 (Android 5.1.1 [KFARWI]). Can someone point me to a root routine that will work on my device. I tried the new Kingroot that works for the HD 7 (AmazonFire5thGenSuperTool.zip) and have tried over a hundred times to no avail. So I am looking for another means.. That tool did install GAPPS and I can actually visit the Play Store and install apps.

First downgrade to 4.5.3, Kingroot it ASAP, install TWRP. Upgrade to Lollipop :

It is not possible as far as I know to downgrade from STOCK 5.3.1 and if that was not my position I would not have posted this. But thank you for replying, it beats no action!

I have HD6 with 5.3.1 no rooted. Today I downgraded to 4.5.3 and rooted by kingroot then installed twrp using flashify. Everything went smooth no problem. After that I flashed cm11 and super su. Now no more kingroot which I like.
Rooted

the reason it will NOT BRICK is because Fire OS 4 is an entirely different operating system to OS 5 so this allows us too bypass the trigger for the bootloader not booting up after downgrading for example: downgrading from Fire OS 5.3.1 to fire os 5.1.2 will brick the device however if we go from Fire OS 5.3.1 to Fire OS 4.5.3 it won't brick because it is an entire replacement of the bootloader and operating system/firmware
if you still don't understand then read this carefully
Fire OS 5 is based on Android Lollipop and Fire OS 4 is based on Android KitKat meaning they are completely different to each other
when you update from say Fire OS 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 it adds files or replaces certain ones NOT ALL OF THEM! so if you replace all the files it treats it as an update even if it is an older release version
I hope this helps

Google properties don't play nice with FireOS v4. You can try and might have some luck. But happiness is usually short lived as minor changes in Google Play Services can trigger a crash. For most it is a frustrating experience that eventually leads to a custom ROM or abandoning the device.

- don't register device when first started
- do not enable WiFi (maintain network isolation)
- find version number under settings

Hi,
you can do by looking up your serial number. Or you open adb and issue the command "devices" it will bring you up the serial number. Or you install DroidInfo then it shows the Kindle codename in the app
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/2014/07/how-to-identify-your-kindle-model/
Check the Serial Number
You can find this sixteen digit code in the box your Kindle came in or when you click on Settings and go to Device Info. Find your specific generation or type based on the first four characters.

Hello,
I have HDX 8.9 4gen with lastest versions of fire os (5.6.1).
It's so laggy and i want revert to previous version of fire os.
Is there any solution? I can't find here.

Nope. HDX devices do not support rollbacks w/o root. As you likely know root is not an option given your current FireOS build. Best option is to perform a factory reset (removes ALL personal content) which may or may not improve responsiveness. HDX has plenty of muscle to handle FireOS 5.6 and the various pre-installed apps that come with it. Likely a config or content interaction issue.
I have a Windows 10 pc. But I can't find the right driver for my Kindle. My Kindle is a Kindle Fire HDX 3rd generation. The OS on my kindle is Fire OS 4.5.5.3, which is based on Kitkat 4.4.4. At least it is on mine
I would like to flash Android Kitkat 4.4.4 on the kindle. I know I probably won't be able to flash exactly the official Android os. I do want to flash the closest thing I can, however.
So what's the easiest way to do this? Foolproof proof. The way that's most likely to work on my Kindle.
