Kindle fire hdx 7" os 4.5.5
Is Already factory resetting and wifi still won't on...so I can't do anything with my kindle

So I acqired an Acer Iconia A500 tablet, and I kinda want to restore the OS on it.
You see, the OS ended up being a demo version of Android 3.0.1, somehow without Andriod Market/ Google Play store.
Does anyone have any ideas? Do I need to root (please no GingerBreak, I already tried and failed)
I'm posting because the last time I tried to "fix" a tablet I bricked a Kindle Fire
So, what I would like to accomplish:
1) replace the OS with a new version of 3.0.1, or 3.1, or 3.2
or
2)replace the OS with a newer version of Andriod (4.4, 4.3, even 4.2)
but most importantly,
3) get the tab to have Google Play Store so I can download other apps.
I'm very much a noob when it comes to dev for this kind of thing.
And I need help, because I don't want to brick this one like I bricked my Kindle Fire (which also ended up being a demo device).
Thanks in advance!

I had my Kindle Fire HDX 7" rooted with towelroot, full google play store etc. Then Play store updated a little while ago and google stopped working. I decided to try to revert to stock fire os, so I did a full factory reset. I have since tried to update the Fire os from 13.3.2.6 to the latest - 13.4.5.3 but I get a parse error every time. I have downloaded the update both direct over wifi and also to my PC and then through USB - no difference. I suspect some remnants of the rooting process may be at fault, but I don't know where to look. The root folder is empty. Any help would be welcome, thanks.
Sometimes when using my tablet, it would randomly go to a blue screen. No error message or anything. The only way to escape it is to hard reset. I don't know why it does this, and how can I fix it? I am rooted with HDX Nexus 2.0.5, and the main version of my tablet was 3.2.1 (also the bootloader is 3.2.1. Never updated it lol.)
I bought this off eBay thinking I could easily root this as I have many older Kindle Fires and then I found out it wasn't rootable so I put it in my desk for several months. Now I see there is some rooting going on and I was wondering what guide I need to use to do this one? Thanks in advance!
Anyone please?
Please help me with this paperweight ha ha
What OS is it running?
Fire OS 4.5.5
Here's the deal: Only 4.5.3 can be rooted. For OS > 4.5.3 you must be able to get OS 5, which allows adb sideload of 4.5.3. For OS 5 you must either sign up with Amazon for Developers Preview--which you can't do with blacklisted tablet--or get the OTA update to 5, which you would have gotten if wifi is on and Amazon updates blacklisted. If you haven't turned on wifi, do that and see if the new update downloads in the next week or so. If it does you can use either the newbie guide or "update to lollipop." If it doesn't you're unrootable.
It's been on for two days now and still not finding an update. Very frustrating.
Really, I'll be surprised if you get updated. Doubtful Amazon will update blacklisted. (You could always google to find out.) Maybe wait another week or two while update finishes rolling out. You can press the check for updates button in settings/device/system updates occasionally.
It checks for blacklisting before updating? I thought it only did that when trying to register it to your account.
So if I can't update it what can I do to this? Can I somehow put the Play Store on it without root so I can at least put some apps on it?
Something has happened with my HDX 8.9 3rd gen (purchased in Nov 2013), Wi-Fi has turned off after a long time of using the old Nexus v2 ROM via SafeStrap without any reason and I'm unable to turn it on.
I've tried a simple reflashing, I've tried Amazon ROMs (up to 14.3.2.4) and other custom ROMs, resets, no significant changes.
I've tried to restore /persist partition from /persistbackup and some other ways to check if the issue is with /persist.
Can someone please advise if it is possible to fix an issue without replacement of motherboard?
I think that this can be an issue with NAND or something.
