Found few days ago a CM 12.1 firmware for the Fire HD 7 --> https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=tate and now I would like to ask if someone is using/testing this on his fire hd 6...
HD 7 and HD6 are the same devices, just size varies. From what I've read CM for this devices was initially tested on a HD6, so enjoy .
EDIT : That link is for Kindle fire HD7 "Tate" , the 2013 model I think
Here's a link to CM 11 for fire HD 4th gen https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/orig-development/rom-cm-11-kindle-hd6-t3270138/page21
Note : Make sure you are ok with the things which don't work in CM

Are you sure you have the 2014 Fire HD 7, not the 2015 $50 Fire 7? (Didn't think HD 7 was updating yet.) If HD 7, look here for root guides:

If Fire 7, the forums are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire

Hi All,

I wonder anyone here install a stock android or cyanogenmod to their 6th gen Fire HD 8.9 successfully? will cyanogenmod website instructions would work for 6th gen too?
Thanks in advance

No roms for the 6th Gen Fire HD 8
I started a Q & A thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/help/help-thread-6th-gen-2016-question-noob-t3482353
Are there any CyanogenMod roms for the Kindle Fire HD 7 (3rd Gen)? I would prefer 12.1 if there are any.
The only official CM for the HD 6 / HD 7 is 11.0. Here is the link along with instructions for installation: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/orig-development/rom-cm-11-kindle-hd6-t3270138
Personally, unless you really dislike the Fire OS UI, I would stick with it. CM 11 is not 100 % functional, and assuming you are running Fire OS 5.x.x you are on Android 5 Lollipop core. CM 11 is on Android 4 KitKat core so it's also a step backwards.
There may be an unofficial CM 12 for the HD 6 / HD 7 but I haven't been able to find one. Also, Cyanogenmod shutting their site down doesn't help matters any. If you really want CM 12+, you could always try to compile from source and make a build specific for your device, though such a process is definitely not for beginners. Check Youtube for videos on porting custom roms if you want to go that route. Good luck.
Hello,
first boot on my brand new Fire HD 8 Gen 7 (2017), I did not enable Wifi yet.
Fire OS 5.3.3.0 (30march 2017)
Anything else you would want me to try ?

Hey. So recently I rooted my Fire HD 6 4th gen (both of them), and I didn't really want 2 4.4 devices. They're running Android 4.4.4 Kitkat, and I was wondering if any of you guys had an Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM for it. If not that... I'd appreciate any ROMs you have (as long as it's not Nougat.)

Tried looking there. Looks like all of them just downgrade FireOS.

You would have to flash a Custom ROM based on Android 5 and up, what requires you have flashed a Custom Recovery before, what requires bootloader of your Kindle Fire HD got unlocked before.

I already have custom recovery, I just can't find ROMs of Android 5+.
I have tried making ROMs myself, but just ran into a bunch of errors.
