Guys,
Quick question:
Is Saturn/Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" 4th gen (2014) rootable or not?
(Ancient wisdom says 4.1.1 & later 4.5.1 are not rootable)
What firmware Saturn is shipped with?
For some reason, I cannot make forum search work at all, sorry.
You're right. Since the 4th generation HDX 8.9" comes with FireOS 4, there's no way to root it at this moment.
EncryptedCurse,
Thanks for prompt response! :good:
The only reason I asked, reading this thread it was unclear to me, whether Saturn comes fresh with 3.X or 4.X OS.

Hi Everyone,
I've been trying to figure out if this is possible or not but I called amazon and had them rollback the software on my kindle fire hd 3rd generation to 11.3.2.6 is it possible to root now?
Wrong forum, look elsewhere for HD support. This forum is for HDX models.
My mother has a Kindle Fire HD (3rd Generation) 7inch I believe? Running Fire OS 4.5.5.
I was wondering if Android can be put on this type of Kindle because the Fire OS is so bland and boring with nothing more really than the amazon and kindle store.
If it is possible I would need something that is the most stable. It doesn't have to be the most updated version of Lolipop with all the frills. Just basic or flashy enough that it runs smoothly with the least amount of problems.
Read the rules: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487836
And then use the search.

All info for rooting 3rd gen is at KFSOWI modding on G+.
I've recently picked up a 3rd generation fire hd6 & am struggling to find a decent case for it as it's all about the 4th gen stuff nowerdays.
if anyone knows of a source for gen3 hd6's it'd be most welcome.
thanks in anticipation
