I recently replaced the motherboard in my bricked Fire HDX 7 3rd gen, and to my surprise found it to be on system version 4.5.3! I know how to root it, but what should I do first after root? I don't want to brick another board...

Unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM such as this. Do you have access to a Mac or Linux host? Makes the unlocking procedure much easier.

Hello all, so i tried to root my new kindle fire 8.9 and i appear to be bricked. I followed the instructions given by this guide: rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-convert-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet/#comment-8662
and around step 20 my kindle wouldnt go past the blue logo bootscreen, so i tried to follow the help given in the comments but that did not help either. earlier in the guide he had us create a recovery file and so i thought it would be best if i retried this and so i recovered to the recovery file. That did not help either as i am now stuck at a kindle fire (orange) logo bootscreen and i cannot access TWRP. Any help would be appreciated.
Also another question i have is would i be able to send this back to amazon, as my 1 yr warranty is still valid.
Thank you in advance.
What model do you have, exactly?
The guide is for the HD 8.9, not HDX 8.9 (guessing from the fact that you posted it in this forum).

I do have the HD 8.9 not the HDX, but I could not find the forum for the HD 8.9, I assumed they were relatively the same.

I have been across the internet looking for a solution, please, could someone let me know if my specific device is rootable.
EDIT. I have access to a computer with no WiFi, I do not have 2 phones, or any cash to spend for that matter. I have installed ES file explorer, I'm trying everything I can but I don't want to accidentally brick my device, I have never rooted before, and I am new to this type of technology.
No. Not at this moment.

Anyone want to give this a try? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcQ30qcImJc
Apparently Kingroot version 4 works. Its Chinese so im not really sure if it does anything nefarious.
I tested Kingroot 4 on my Fire HD 6 (Model KFARWI) running Fire OS 4.5.3 (Android 4.4.3) last night, and it successfully rooted my device, verified with several root checkers.
I confirm. This method works very well Thank you imma Wake!
I wnted to know if progress has been made on a root method for the 2014 Fire HD 7 on Fire OS 5.4. Preferably a method that doesn't require ADB. I can't find a tutorialI can understand. I have no rooting experience, so sorry if I sound stupid. Thanks!
Was about to post the same question... from what I know you will need adb, which you can install via root junkys kindle 5th gen super tool (even though you have 4th gen it still can install adb on your computer). Apart from that, I'm just as clueless as you are... hope I helped.. also thanks for making this forum it might help me if other people post stuff
No progress for root on 5.4.0.0 yet.
I was told that on the Fire HD 7 4th Gen, was able to downgrade all the way to 4.5.3, root, and use TWRP to upgrade with root to 5.4.
I am waiting for a tutorial on this.
Maybe @DoLooper or @sd_shadow can help us.
Hi,
I'm still trying to figure out how to unlock my HD Fire 6's bootloader to install TWRP in it then remove all that is Amazon to turn it into an Android tablet; unfortunately, the thread that instructed us on how to unlock the bootloaders of HD Fire 6 and 7s had its guide erased then the thread itself locked, and every other guide I find online for HD Fire 6 and 7s directs me to that thread.
Does anyone know or remember the step-by-step process for unlocking a HD Fire 6s bootloader? I can figure out the TWRP, rooting, and conversion to Android parts, but I don't know how to do the bootloader part since HD Fires aren't originally Android tablets.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me (and potentially others wondering the same thing). ♡
Recently considered rooting my kindle fire due to amazon no longer supporting it, I want to get lineage as version 14.1 is based on android 7, unfortunately all the guides I have been finding are discontinued and I am a total newbie to all of this, can anyone help me find a good working guide that a simple newbie can follow?
[Thor][Apollo] Unlocking bootloader with any firmware
Hello. At first, I did not invent anything new, just checked some my guess on a other motherboard. All thanks and credits to our great developers. As always, all at your own risk. It does not work on the Fire HDX 8.9 (Saturn)! All steps in this...

This guide is for the 3rd generation HDX 7 and 8.9. The hardware in them is entirely different than the regular HD models.

Easiest way is use 1-click unlock bootloader, it'll install TWRP. The rest of the procedure is easy.
