I currently purchased one of these. I'm using it with an lg g3 on lollipop
it is on android wear 1.4.0.2576000
google play 8.7.03
and android os 6.0.1
am i still able to root this on Marshmallow?
thanks.
I prefer to root cause once I have a static environment I like to freeze ota's and decide weather to upgrade or revert back.
Yes, it is. Tip: search before posting.

Hi guys,
So I finally got tired of the amazon appstore and wanted to install the google play store on my hdx. there are a number of tutorials online which show how, the google framworks, accounts manager, play services, play store and gmail apks can be installed but they are outdated and thus the android running on them then, was not the current 4.4 Kitkat the HDX'S (2013) are running now. After downloading and installing numerous versions of the apks listed above I managed to sign in to the play store but I got the RH-01 error. Adding to this google play services can run in the back ground but any attempt to open it results in it not responding. My question is what versions of the above apks correspond with Andriod kitkat as I'm thinking that since I roughly tried to match versions of those apks for sideloading they may neeed to be all within the same version frameowrk to work together, and upon installing them they can update together?
I'm also pretty sure this can still be done and no rooting is required for this method, I just don't know which apks would work together for my HDX. It may be that I am not installing a cpu matching apk (arm, x86) or the dpi or ughhh so many things. You guys are geniuses and this is probably a really small problem compared to all the bug solving on custom roms. But this tablet it still pretty powerful compared to the stuff amazon is pumping out now and can still hold its own, I don't want to give up on it yet. Your help would be really appreciated.
If it helps, my kindle technical stuff:
Kindle fire 8.9 HDX 2013 model
Current os: Fire OS 4.5.5.2 (Fake arse kitkat last official update from amazon was 16th Sep 2016 s should be the last itertion of kitkat I believe)

Google Play Services/Store does not play nice with FireOS v4. One can get it to work (kinda) with considerable effort but the honeymoon is typically short lived as frequent Google updates wreak havoc. Blocking updates is both difficult and often counterproductive due to app dependencies on the latest framework/services builds.
A better approach is to root the device and install a custom ROM that natively supports Google Play Services/Store/apps. Unlocking the bootloader opens the door to the full suite of ROMs including KitKat, Lollipop (CM 12.1) and Marshmallow (Nexus, CM13, ACIP) based builds.
Rooting/unlocking use to be scary/dangerous task best left to the geek club. While the process is not fully automated risk and effort have both declined. At present FireOS 4.5.5.2 is not directly rootable with Kingroot but it is only a matter of time before that changes. Likely just a few weeks as rival KingOroot (note the 'O') now offers this capability. If you are itching to get going it's relatively easy to roll back to 3.2.8 and root/unlock from there.
I'm not new to the scene, I've had my fair share with androids. Just new to hdx7, so what do I do?. This is the Amazon Kindle Fire C9R6QM HDX 7. I'm gonna use the KFHDX ToolKit v0.95 from what I've read is to disable OTA updates and run google play store. Should I completely flash to some stock android OS? Or can I keep it on the fire OS and it'll be stable? I don't want to go and brick this thing. It's running fire OS 4.5.5 which I read about and I guess is not useful? I saw a link to downgrade to 13.3.2.8, is that all I need? Just some quick help, thanks
Just to be clear all I want to do is install google playstore and disable OTA updates. What are the minimum steps I need to do this?
alright so I downgraded to 3.2.8 then -----> 3.5.2 is that ok? Or should I go back to 3.2.8?
I don't mind changing roms as long as I can make a backup and get to factory os

It is rather easy to unlock the bootloader which allows any HDX custom ROM to be installed. Is the device still on FireOS 3.2.8? If so I assume you have taken steps to maintain network isolation as the device WILL brick if an OTA update is received/processed. Post back current status; will go from there.

scratch that I now got a hdx 7 which has fire os 3.2.1, which I think is pretty good? Should I just follow the main guys steps to root it, disable auto updates and install google play store?

Google Play Services/Store does not play nice with FireOS v3 or v4. Strongly recommend unlocking the bootloader and replacing FireOS with the ROM of your choosing (from those available for HDX devices).

which rom do you recommend which is stable and vanilla looking? I'm used to nexus 5, 7 os. Also would I be able to save my current 3.2.1 OS and make a backup? So I would be able to return to stock if I wanted to?

There are two Nexus builds that are faithful representations of what you likely experienced on Google's Nexus devices. The KitKat varient (Fire Nexus ROM) is feature complete with full Bluetooth and LTE support. As with all custom ROMs for this device auxiliary radio support on Android 5+ becomes more challenging due to kernel compatibility issues. That said, all core ROMs are rock solid/stable and really unleash the full potential of this aging device which still competes well against contemporary counterparts.
Hey guys, I have a poco f1 with oreo 8.1 and wanted to ask if it's possible to downgrade the google play service to 12.6.85
At the moment it's 14. something and I can manually downgrade it to 12.8, but not lower. Is it possible to downgrade it to 12.6.85 without rooting?

BUMP
why would you do something as stupid as this, downgrading ? Also, why are you running android 9 ?
because he wants to play Pokemon go with the gps spoof but because the google play services is too much updated he can't do that .....to use spoof gps ,he needs to downgrade google play services and then use fgl pro to move around the world while sitting at home and playing Pokemon go ....man i want to do the same but can't?? i too have pocofone ...
actually because we have android pie and as you have oreo we can't do that because they already come with 14. something in Android pie , to downgrade we need to find a phone with android 6 or 7 then only we can fgl pro gps spoof but still if anybody has a solution please SHARE IT
Hello,
I have a LG K8 with android 6.0.1 (Verizon prepaid) and a RCA Voyager III with android 7.1.2 that I want to update to newer android versions since there are no more factory updates. If the tablet screws up I don't really care, but I need to be able to use my activated phone. Is there a way to manually update the android version without messing them up?
Thanks

Hello,
You can Follow the LG K8 Developments Page on this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k8/development
Although there are no Custom ROMs listed on the development page, you can search the Internet for the same. The page had MIUI ROM for the devices, but the link was removed due to Thread Owner posting PPC links. :crying:
