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.

Hi
Just a quick question about the thor-gapps-rom-2.zip
Using kfxhd 8.9 safestrap back up completed rooted etc, come to flash the new ROM slot i get the message
"Kernel does not have support for reading SELinux contexts, then , E: Error executing binary in zip and error flashing zip, FAILED
Busybox installed up to date, i been reading for nearly 10 hours through the forums not come across anything similiar yet,
Thanks
Thor is the name of the 7" hdx buddy, that ROM is not for the 8.9" version which is codenamed Apollo.

Hi thanks for response but from my understanding this ought to work of both the 7" and the 8.9" not the case? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577826
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585690
[FLASHABLE ZIP] Google Gapps + Amazon AppShop - HDX 7", 8.9" (Thor, Apollo) the latter being apollo but searches point back to Thor - am i on the wrong road? your response has confused me a little any one able to shed some light on the situation ?
Safestrap-Apollo-3.71-B07.apk all works- (thor-gapps-rom-2) is for 7" xhd? so i ought to be looking for / apollo-gapps-rom-2 /
Basically am rooted saved stock rom and recovered to new rom slot 1 which is rooted and ready , i just want google apps to work, argh! getting a little lost ,
Hi I am a total noob when it comes to the Kindle Fire HDX. I have been trying to keep upto date as regards rooting this device (I have the Kindle Fire HDX 7") and like it except for the Operating Software.
When I look at threads regards to rooting I was getting very "noob confused" as regards to the OS versions because all I see (mostly) is reference to Versions 13.x.x.x or 14.x.x.x and could not undersatnd where the 13 or 14 came from because when I look at my version of OS all I see is 4.5.2 can not see a 13 or 14 mentioned on my Kindle.
So I had a good look at my Kindle and eventualy found that when I go to: settings, system updates and tap on the words "your device is running" I now see 13.4.5.2_user_452004220 there has been no mention on any of the threads regards how to get the full OS version so this is why I posted this.
I want to root my device but I am holding off because of the possible problems at the moment I intend to gather as much information before I attempt but I do think there will be a full proof way of doing it in the future especialy for noob's like me.
Can any member tell me if the 13/14 is the year ??
and what the number is after the word user ??
Short answer:
13 = kindle fire hdx 7'' = thor
14 = kindle fire hdx 8.9'' = apollo
22 = fire hdx 8.9'' (2014) = saturn
You can't root 4.5 yet.

Yes understand that you can't root 4.5 just now noted that from all the threads I have read but I am not a impatient guy I can wate till a sound root procedure is made available anyway my Kindle fire hdx 7" is still under waranty till xmas 2015 but will keep an eye on developments posted on the threads.
Thanks for the above info but why is ?? against fire hdx 8.9" (saturn) does this meen unknown ?
Fixed saturn is 22.
About the other number.. we don't know. Perhaps internal amazon build number

Yes I was thinking that number would be some sort of Amazon build number.
All I have to do now is sit tight and hope for a good rooting package would love to get into android software and be able to do things I did work on Linux software many years ago when I worked with Honeywell but can't remember half the stuff I understand some basic commands but would have to get on a course to brush up on loads of things lol

UPDATE.
An OS update arrived to day 24th Feb 2015 on my Kindle HDX 7" OS was 4.5.2 now updated to 4.5.3 ( version Build 13.4.5.3_user_453011120)
But the funny thing is that when you tap on "learn more" as regards to new update it says version of OS is 4.5.2 no mention of the new update recieved to day so not a clue what this new upadate has done and can't see any difference to the HDX7.
Thought the above information would be of interest to developers on XDA.
ps/ my location is UK.
Is there any help I can provide in getting phone calling working for instance on the lte Thor since I also have a fire phone?
Lte Thor: bootloader unlocked
Fire phone: fireos 4.6.3, rooted
Say for instance can I dump any of the fire phone files onto the Thor and presto calling works?

- Thanks for the offer of help, however the files from the Fire Phone will not work with the HDX series.
- The Fire Phone uses the full MSM8974 soc which includes it's own radio, the HDX uses APQ8074 soc with an external radio/gps
- For thor if you want LTE, you could use HDX Nexus ROM 4.0.5 or CM-11 for now.
- Also I am not even sure if phone calls are supported from the HDX RIL interface as I haven't had a chance to look yet.
I'm trying to view content from https://player.bfi.org.uk (which employs the hook player) but it keeps throwing up an error code "2006"?
My hd6 is stock - unrooted fire os 4.55.
I'm using the same hook player app on my nexus7 without issue so I'm guessing its a fire OS problem. any advice or links to fixes welcome.

gascomm,
Did you try to update your Fire HD 6 to lollipop(Fire OS 5)? More Android apps are supported on Fire OS 5. The latest version is 5.3.1.1

hi, after reading a few threads on the kindle forum, unsure whether or not ; given the restriction & safegurads amazon had hardcoded into 4.5.5.2 fire os if it's possible to modify the device or even put gapps on it?
the kindle was a gift that has largely gathered dust in a drawer due to the amazon centric nature of it and my lack of interest in using amazon services. is there any way to free it up and either install something like cyanogenmod or gapps on it?
thanks!

Having trouble identifying your device. Don't recognize FireOS 5.5.2. Typo? Also, please pass along your device model (eg: HD, HDX) and approximate screen size. From there can answer your question and/or direct you to the appropriate forum.

Thanks; missing '4' prefix threw me. Given LTE likely a 8.9 (larger) screen model also known as Apollo.
Path to a custom ROM:
- downgrade FireOS from 4.5.5.2 to 3.2.8.0 (easy)
- root with TowelRoot (easy)
- unlock bootloader (challenging for some)
- install custom recovery (fairly easy)
- flash custom ROM (fairly easy)
Custom ROMs based on KitKat, Lollipop and Marshmallow are available. While all are stable and largely feature complete none support LTE (well); some have issues with Bluetooth. That said, if a WiFi based tablet with full access to the Google Play Store and a gorgeous screen sounds appealing then transforming your HDX will likely be worth the effort. Note some technical expertise and a Windows PC (Macs and Linux also work) is required to unlock the bootloader.
Installing Google Play Services/Store on FireOS v4 is a dicey proposition that seldom works out well. Unfortunately, 3rd gen devices can not be upgraded to FireOS v5 which plays nice (nicer) with Google Framework/Services.
