I have rooted my fire before using the method from this thread here. So I realized the main reason I wanted to root it was to get the marketplace. Now I know with 6.2.2 you could use "Superoneclick" then after installing the marketplace and changing permissions you could then use SOC(superoneclick) to "Unroot" the device and yet still keep the google market.
My question is, using the KF Utility for 6.3 by Teamwin, can you succesfully unroot the device and still keep the market like you could with 6.2 or has this ability been broken. As you can tell I have done some research and to no avail have found anyone saying how to unroot a 6.3 KF and yet still keep google market. Also, if this is possible is Google Play also possible and perhaps Google Books
Thanks (sorry if this is answered somewhere I did a search on the forum and didn't find anything to these specific items)
NOTE: I do know you can sideload apps but I heard sideloading the market is next to impossible without first rooting the device.

I understand that. I am trying to have the Google/Android Market be on the unrooted KF 6.3 OS. I would post the article but I don't have enough posts yet lol. The article is on Lilputing though. The article title is "How to sideload apps (even the Android Market) on the Amazon Kindle Fire". They are using SuperOneClick (which apparently doesn't work with 6.3) and in using SOC they quickly root the device, install the things they want, then unroot using SOC and keep everything.
My question is, is this possible on 6.3 using KFU or is SuperOneClick now supported for 6.3...
Yes you can. Root with KFU. Side load the market (google play) as a system app along with the Google framework and once every thing works download OTARootkeeper and install.
You can then unroot an re-root at will.

Ok. Thanks. I have heard of OTARootkeeper but thought it just mimicked a Root/Unroot device. I didn't know if that would work with 6.3. I am surprised there isn't an article out there discussing my specific question. I thought it would be a common thing to ask. Thank you though I will give that a try.
Edit: I haven't done this just yet to test but my end goal was to have the KF unrooted and still have access to the android market. Using OTARk makes it seem like if I want the android market I just "quick root" it back to get it. I may be misunderstood what "root" really means when it comes to the KF.
Here is a better way of explaining.
1. Download Google play store and Googleservicesframework. Apk
2. Move the Google play store to system/apps
3. Install Googleservicesframework apk like a normal application.
4. Reboot your device
5. The play store should work. Now you may unroot your device.

Thanks for all the help and clarifying. One last question. To unroot do you suggest using OTAKroot or is there a way to make a more "solid" unroot and yet still keep the play store? Again thanks for quick helpful responses everyone.
I suggest OTA root keeper. Its the only way I know to unroot your device. If you like the answer I gave you hit the "thanks" button

Ok so I have everything done however it's not the exact result I was hoping/expecting. I was wanting the main stock look of the KF but with the market installed and working. Right now I have unrooted but am having trouble figuring out how to get back to my Amazon KF stock launcher and my Amazon Prime videos.
Edit: I can't figure out how to get to my Amazon bookshelf anymore. I have the Amazon App store and Kindle App from the market but how do I get back to the amazon bookshelf?

You have to clarify a bit more for me...
1. Is the play store up and working?
2. Did you download any custom launchers?
3. Did you download any custom lockscreens?
4. The steps you took were root, installed market, unroot, correct ?

Play store is working. I tried Go Launcher to see if I could get the Default Launcher through there. No lockscreens. It is currently with CM7 unrooted via OTA Rootkeeper. But when I rebooted after unrooting it I had the CM7 android interface still. Not KF default interface.
This video is what I essentially was trying to accomplish. He has the Launcher.apk but it seems to not work on CM7 or at least not 6.3. Right now, I can't get to the instant video screen or bookshelf at all...

So you not only rooted but you installed a custom ROM.
That's a whole other story.
To get what you want you need to restore your original ROM from backup. Reroot with KFU. Side load the framework and market and unroot with OTA rootkeeper. You should have made a backup from restore before you installed CM7.
Do not repeat do not upgrade the kindle reader from the market if you wish to keep using the original launcher.
It would help if we knew why you wanted to be un rooted.
Rooting only gives you access to your file system. The only custom softwear you need is superuser. Unrooting with OTA rootkeeper just makes a backup of SU and then removes it. You can then watch movies etc. But when you need root back you just restore your SU backup in OTA rootkeeper.
Why do you need to permanantly unroot ?

Since you are loading ROMs, I'd recommend MoDaCo rom. It's the closest to stock with the play store already added.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916
Another option
Keep stock, root, add SU, (and add go launcher if you want) Just add a shortcut to the kindle launcher. Unroot. Then you can switch back and forth. Simplest way.
I sideloaded the market app with file expert when I was happy with stock.
Though I don't know why you insist on unrooting.

I guess I misunderstood what rooting really meant. So I can use KFU to root the device but after doing so DO NOT install CM7 and instead just sideload google market and once installed just use it to install any apps but at the same time since CM7 wouldn't be installed I would be seeing the basic interface from KF as it is stock?

Correct. You do not need to do anything after you root unless you want to. Everything on your KF will stay stock. I would recommend you flash a recovery (I prefer CWM) that way you can reload your backup if you need to. Whst I would do is root install firefirefire and CWM. Reboot to CWM and backup everything. Then load the framework and market. When you root make sure SU is properly installed before you move ahead. You will need a copy of root explorer or another file manager to make this all happen with the least pain.
Remember if you keep the stock launcher DO NOT update the kindle reader from the market. The stock KF reader is not the same as the market version but the market will see it as an old version and try to get you to update it.
I run both the stock launcher and go launcher. I keep a shortcut to the stock launcher on my go launcher dock and a shortcut to go launcher on my stock dock. I toggle between them as needed.

I followed everything except CWM. Is that something similar to KFU as far as how to root it or is that like the TWRP that I had before for recovery? And thanks for explaining all this.
It is like TWRP. A recovery program. I like it much better. But it does the same thing.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Ok. After some tweaking I now have reset the device back to factory settings. Re-rooted, used CWM for backup/recovery. I used the MoDaCo and successfully installed the Google Play store. Installed OTA rootkeeper and used it to "temp unroot" my device. I was hoping this would give me access to the "Watch Now" on the Amazon Video but it still is greyed out. Truth be told, I got the month free of Prime for getting the KF but I probably won't continue to pay. Regardless, is that the only feature that I can't get with the rooted device? If so, then I am to say, happy for sure.

Yesterday I rooted my KF using KFU 0.9.5 which makes it easy (thanks!) BUT....
1. No Google Play/Android Market at all
2. No superuser app
3. Facebook FC's
4. Youtube won't play any videos
My whole reason for rooting was to get the Google Play / Android Market working and obtain some apps not avail through Amazon.
Not quite sure where to go from here, I have found some 'solutions' to the Market issue but don't fully understand them.
Yes, I have TWRP recovery and can get adb connection is working (verified with KFU).
Thanks in advance for any advice.

note* the market will not show up in the kindle launcher u have to use a diffrent one
I will have to give this a shot, thanks.
I'm getting FC's on some apps, haven't seen anyone address this. Facebook FC's, and I noticed my GT racing game does too.
Thoughts?
My mom got a Fire right when it came out last year. I rooted it with burrito root or whatever it was called back then. Also got rid of amazons bookshelf launcher and put Go Launcher Ex on it.
I have not touched it since, until last week. I noticed that When using the Google+ app, if I click on a shared video, the video will not play.
Upon further investigation, I think I discovered this Fire has lost root. when I try to run TB I get the error, "Can't aquire root permission" or something close to that. I am assuming Amazon pushed another update, but Go Launcher is still her launcher.
So I guess I need to re-root. Can I just search for the latest current Fire root method, or are there any precautions I need to be aware of considering the changes I've already made on this device?
I assume the streaming video playback issue with G+ is un-related?
Thanks.
Amazon will auto-update your device to the latest software version as they get released. You can just root it again. Most people tend to use Kindle Fire Utility or you can do it yourself manually if you are so inclined...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452
Either way, you should upgrade your bootloader and recovery while you are at it.
I have no idea about your last question, but I'm guessing you'll figure that out after you root again.
Thanks. I'll try that utility.
I trend to get frustrated doing this stuff manually.

Hi, so given that this is my first post here I tried to read through all the noob-guides and search for similar issues, but the effort was ultimately fruitless so I had to create this thread. Hopefully I was not merely incompetent and the question has not been asked a million times already.
So the problem I am facing is that when I enter the GO Launcher market most of the apps tell me "Your device isn't compatible with this version". This is really annoying because the reason I did the root was to gain access to the market/apps. My Kindle Fire was bought as a gift in the US and as such I cannot use the stock market without an American credit card (I am European), fair enough as long as I can get the root solution to work.
So this is what I did:
I rooted the Fire using this guide: Guide had to be removed from post because of posting restrictions for new users
which means I used Kindle Fire Utility, and that whole process went well. Then I did the "install google apps" option within KFU. This apparently installed GO Launcher Ex which I guess must be the way to get the stock ROM to accept the google market. I booted using GO Launcher Ex and all appeared to be well until I accessed the market and almost all the apps told me that "Your device isn't compatible with this version".
I have tried to find a solution on my own, and most places seem to indicate that the problem is that the dpi has been changed. Those topics were also based on different tablet/pdf-readers/phones or different ROMs, thus I did not ask this question in those topics. The problem with saying that the dpi must have been changed is that I have not manually changed it, and I cannot find the option to change it on my Kindle Fire either.
Hopefully one of you savvy gentlemen will be able to assist me with this as I am equal parts confused and inexperienced with rooting tablets.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Go launcher ex does not allow you to install the Google market app. It's just a launcher (the app that opens when you hit the home button)
The easiest solution for you is to install TWRP and FireFireFire and install the Modaco ROM.

Thank you for your quick reply. I wish I could have linked you to the rooting-guide I used. This is what it says after it guides me through the rooting process:
"If you want to stick with the standard Kindle experience but want access to Google apps including the Play Store, Gmail app, and Google Maps, choose the option in Kindle Fire Utility marked “Extras” and then use the option for “Install Google Apps.”"
And that is exactly what I did using KFU. And that is when it installed the Go launcher ex too as far as I could tell.
I already have TWRP and FireFireFire installed through KFU, I could try installing the Modaco ROM, but are you saying that there is no way I can run apps on my rooted Kindle with the stock ROM on it? I just feel like using custom ROMs would complicate my tablet more than what is necessary when all I want is to able to use apps on it. However, if you think that is my best option given the fact that I don't expect my tablet to be capable of anything out of the ordinary, then I will give it a try!
Yes you can use it on the stock ROM. Just find the correct Google apps package and move it to your Kindle via USB. Then boot into twrp and flash it. ( that's how I've always done it. I didn't use kfu)
The Modaco ROM is exactly like the stock kindle fire ROM but it has Google apps already installed and also comes with a modified build.prop.

Since you're going through the trouble of trying to install the market manually (and the lack of specificity), I can only assume you're running the stock Amazon software. In which case, I would strongly suggest saving yourself a butt-load of trouble and flash the MoDaCo rom (you do have recovery installed, don't you? Gawd, I hope so)
MoDaCo is not much different from stock, except it has Google apps and Market pre-installed, and it's missing most of Amazon's "assume the position" software. Besides you'd be hard pressed to find a better "stock" experience anywhere else IMO.

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I had a hard time searching for an answer.
There aren't too many people out there looking to put apps designed for Kindle's UI on Jelly Bean.
I'll keep it brief:
- Rooted my GF's Kindle Fire
- Plan on flashing JB rom
- Want to port paid Amazon Kindle fire apps onto JB
For example: She purchased the game of Life app for her Kindle through Amazon's app store. If JB is flashed, will I be able to download that same app directly from Amazon's website onto her JB flashed Kindle? I don't know what compatibility issues I could run into, nor the easiest way to do it if at all possible.
Can I make an .apk and side load them onto JB? Amazon's Fire UI is built off Android 2.3 (GB), correct? Her Kindle is running 6.3.1.
Figured I'd ask before flashing the JB Rom... I backed up everything on her Fire, I just didn't want to go through the hassle of re-doing something if I didn't have to
Anyway, you guys are brilliant here - thanks for any help I might receive.

It is hard to say for 100% about that specific app (Game of life). You can install the Amazon App store on Jelly Bean and you can install all the apps you have purchased onto any flavor of Android. It is already known that the Amazon Prime Video app will only run in a non rooted ROM based on the original install. If the app is one that is labeled as a "Kindle Table Addition" it may not run if your JB rom has been changed to represent as a Nexus or other tablet to gain more Google Play store exposure.

You could use Titanium backup to backup the app and restore it onto JB. If you already Rooted the KF you should have no problem loading TiBu.
---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------
Another option you could try would be to dual boot between a JB rom and MoDoCo. MoDoCo has a alternative install version and you could dual boot between JB and MoDoCo (A rooted and tweeked version of the original KF install). I did this for a long time so that I could still use the Amazon Video player. I got tired of playing with JB and went back to a single install of MoDoCo with a new launcher. Once you get past the Amazon launcher and you have played with JB long enough to be content the Fire works pretty decently.
You wouldnt have to if you sign into the same amazon acount. i have some apps like quickoffice pro ($15)on my stock kf, then i rooted it flashed jellybean, then installed amazon appstore signed into my account, and quickoffice pro was there in my downloaded apps
right, but in this case I believe the question is about kindle fire specific apps. The ones in the Amazon App Store that are labeled "Kindle Fire Edition"

Wow, why didn't I think of trying that... I should have.
I got impatient and installed JB. KF edition apps are not compatible.
I made backups of all the data that was on prior with TWRP... Is there a way to make a .apk with any of that data without re-installing KF?

I'll try dual booting with MoDoCo - how easy should it be to restore data with TWRP? I'm so used to CWMR that everything feels foreign.
So now i guess I plan on installing MoDoCo, restore the data from KF, side load TiBu, make backups of KF edition apps, boot into JB and restore KF apps there - is that sound logic, guys?
That process should work to get the apps installed on jb but there is still no guarantee that they will work. Try it and let us know how it turns out

Sure enough if you just back up your app before you upgrade, then you can install them on JB. I just did it for three different kindle only apps. The odd thing is when I tried to install them through the app store, I was blocked. Now why would amazon deny a piece of revenue?

ok. I am kind of in the same boat as you. I changed to jellybean using Twa_Priv's CM10 MOD back in August, and for a while I was able to use KF-specific apps. I switched a lot between jellybean and stock, because there were some things that I liked about the Stock firmware. Anyway, I quit that, restored to factory, and installed the latest build at the time of Twa_Priv's ROM. I did not cloak it to resemble the Google Nexus or anything else, yet now I have a different amazon appstore, and it won't let me get KF apps. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of going back and using Titanium Backup to save any KF apps.
what do I do?
