Hi everybody! I've just bought this tablet in Amazon Warehouse and I don't like Fire OS. I searched a lot for a CM but I saw only a CM11 with no camera function. Why other model (like Tate) have more ROMs?
Best bet imo is to stick with FireOS, root it and install gapps and your launcher of choice, disable the stock launcher and any of the stock apps you don't want, and you end up with a nice little Lollipop tablet.
Yes I think so but for root my Ariel with Lollipop where is the guide? Because I'm a newbie and I saw only root for KK.
Yep, unfortunately you need to downgrade, root, then upgrade again to get a rooted Lollipop on this device. There's a decent guide at https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950

Hi!
I have an ATP with CyanogenMod, running Android 4.2. Now, I'm planning to sell my tablet looking for a smaller one, so I want to sell it with stock ROM and without any recovery (as it comes to me at the beginning).
Is it possible? Is there any post with instructions to follow? All your help is welcome.
Best regards
My brother has a KFHDX 7", we got it last November-December, and I rooted it nearly instantly. It is in version 13.3.2.6 and I must have blocked OTA updates since it is still there. Back then I had tried to install gapps, the playstore etc, but I couldn't find a working method yet.
What I'm looking for is this:
- a way to downgrade the Amazon OS (if necessary)
- a custom recovery to install
- a tutorial to unbrick the tablet in case I brick it
- a way to install the GApps and make them work
- a list of custom roms available for the device. (It's name is "Thor", right? I couldn't find many) Aren't there any of the mainstream roms such as CM for it?
I have a KFHD 7" (2012 model) and I have flashed a custom rom so if I am given instructions I know how to make it work more or less, but I've been having some issues figuring out what is what in XDA in the KFHDX's section.
Thanks for taking the time to read this (and perhaps help me out)!
Hi everybody,
just unpacked my kindle hdx 7" and it has fireware 13.3.1.0
i have been reading a lot of threads and posts but still have some questions..
as soon as cm11 is completely stable and everything works i want to use it because of android 4.4 but as it might take some time till then i was thinking of getting the nexus rom first and switch later.
till now i just rooted some of my divices so im new to roms and want to have as less hassle as possible
right now i would need safestrap for the nexus rom but ggow was talking about TWRP compatibility with the next version so i think it would be best to wait and then get twrp because it is also necessary for cm11..
first of all i would root after this instruction
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665683 yes? and does it work with .3.1.0?
then for the current nexus rom i would need safstrap and 13.3.2.4 but how would i get 3.2.4?
does maybe someone have a link i couldnt find anything about it..
but if i want nexus rom >2.0.2 or cm11 i would just need twrp which i could install with no problems with my firmware?
did i miss any step?
sorry for the long text just dont want to brick my kindle
thanks!

Hello Guys.
I planning of rooting my Tablet Z (SGP312) still in new-ish condition.
It is not updated still have android 4.1.2 on it (Built 10.1.C.0.370).
I just want to get rid of the sony mess what is on the tablet.
What program you recommend for this android version ?
It is not going to be my first rooting as my Galaxy phone and my LG G pad rooted as well.
I heard a lot problems with the updates (kitkat and the new lollipop) so not planning to update it.
Anybody use here other newer Android version (not from Sony) on this tablet with no Problem ?
Thanks for answer.
(If you can an email me on [email protected] would be really appreciated).

Firmware is very old, but you can root it with DooMLoRD_SuperSU.zip or DooMLoRD_Superuser.zip
Also KK and LP firmware are great, so no reasons for not updating. Also CM is working good on tablet.
Sony Tablet Z what you recommend
Thanks for the quick replies guys.
Keep up the really great work.
In the meantime Azar_98 was so kind to answer to my private message.
He recommended to put the 5.1.1 prerooted firmware onto it.
Just updated the tablet now there is 4.3 on it now (10.4 built) and there is available
the 10.5 built I think it is the Kitkat.
I see you have 5.1.1 prerooted on your tablet.
Is there any how-to on this site what explain the installation of this version ?
thanks again.

Install XZDR recovery and flash prerooted afterwards.
Hello,
I've recently gotten an Amazon Fire 7 (7th Gen) and I'd like to root it or install a custom rom. However, I don't know how I would revert it to stock if I did so. Does anyone know where I can find the stock rom for the fire 7 2017? I have the original untampered device if that helps.
(Sorry if this has been asked before, I've searched and couldn't find an answer)
Thanks,
John

I realize this is an older post, as I have this device also and was browsing threads to get Google Play files for it.
To date, there is no known rooting strategy for this device, and its bootloader cannot be unlocked. Custom ROMs will not be possible until an exploit is found for the bootloader.
