This tab sat for several months. I booted up and installed 12.1-201601109-nightly-jem. Google play services requested an update. The message "google play services wont run unless you update google play services" keeps appearing. I updated my services version and it didn't help. I was told to do a force stop, clear cache. That didn't help. Then I was told to remove my google accounts. That didn't help. I think I updated with the incorrect version of services. I was following the instructions fron AndroidPIT.
I would like to start over, but don't know where to begin.
My model is a rooted kindle fire hd 8.9 model number 3HT7G.
My android version is 5.1
Can someone please help?

Hello everyone! I have a kindle fire 6.3.2, I think it is a 1st generation correctly? I tried a lot to find how to root this kindle but all topics are about kindle's 6.3.1 and earlier. (I try some "adb" but in the final it dont function). In fact I want download and install google play/android free good apps. I dont know if it is possible but you know if have a manner to "minimize" the windows (read a book and can easy go to wikipedia, google translate, note pad and get back to book again)? Sorry for my english. And thanks by the attention.

Can't help. This is posted in the kf2 section. I recommend you post in the OTHER kindle fire threads.

That's nice man! Yeah Ichigo sure has a lot of rep. I don't have a KF, but I do try and help out in device forums other than my own. Help out in the A2 forums, and now have started with this one. Already am helping out with development for a (as of yet) threadless Motorola Fire. XDA is awesome, and you learn a lot on the way, no?
Hope I'm not intruding by helping out here?

Can you tell us the steps that you took to root in detail?
What version is your KF? Is it 6.3?
What are you running on your computer?
Did you use the original cable that came with the KF?

Thanks for all the responses Here's a lot more information -
Kindle fire first gen 6.3.2
Used the kindle fire utility found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
Running windows 7
I first opened the drivers.bat file, then confirmed all the drivers were installed correctly by going on computer, properties, devices, and then checking the drivers. Then went on the utility's main .bat file and saw that it said that it was online and the boot thing said 4000. So then I went ahead and did number 2 for the root. And then I let it do its thing and everything seemed to go smoothly. It said it was finished and that it was now rooted, but it is not.
The kindle fire doesn't come with a usb so I bought one.
Something weird is that I thought it was rooted at first so I used the utility to install the google apps and now I can use google play and all the google apps, but still no root!
Another weird thing is that now it starts up with the same fast boot screen as it used when rooting. However, the device works fine.

Here's your problem. The 6.3.2 update disables root, and KFU 9.6 won't work. Try this one:

I am using both root checker (from google play) and es file explorer. I also tried to use a screenshot app which requires root and it didn't work either.

I tried a screenshot app and it said "device rooted will use superuser." Then it crashes and says "execute su failed permission denied."

Could it be that superuser didn't install? Idk, and I'm just grasping at straws here, but it seems like that might be the case.

I downloaded the google play apk file from google than transferred to my kindle and installed. I did the same with google chrome and it works.
The biggest problem was getting adb files working on my computer with windows 7. I finally after many tries got it working and was able to root the kindle.
All I have done is run the root programs. The one I used last was QEM
It's not the perfect answer but I would recommend you give kindle first aide a chance. I successfully rooted and installed the complete google apps with this program. Check the kindle 7 inch forum for the program.

Google play won't get installed just like that.... You need to install other services too... The easiest way to install is to root your device and install kindlefree... Ironically it's there in Google play and also as an attachment in the apps official thread at xda... Search for it and you'll find it.

Google Play requires the Google Service Framework to run properly. Chrome is an app, Google Play is an ecosystem.
thanks to all who helped me. I have rooted my kindle and have google play working. thnks,thnks, thnks.
Hi team,
I am new for the Android system. Just successfully Rooted it last weekend. But found out, I am still not able to sign in Youtube.
Error message: "This app requires Google Play service, which is missing in your device."
Do you have any suggestion to solve this issue?
My firmware is 8.4.3
Thank you in advance.

Simply search Google; Google play services.apk... Download it and the install. While data from YouTube and open it then sign into YouTube.

New FireOS 4.6.4 Only for AT&T Fire Phones. Newer than 4.6.3 for Unlocked Fire Phone
I thought that you would like to know that apparently there is a newer FireOS v4.6.4, but only for the AT&T Fire Phone!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201607550
Curiously this AT&T Firmware is newer than the v4.6.3, that we all have received last week on our Unlocked-GSM Fire Phones.
Fire OS 4.6.4 computer:Fire phone (AT&T):
http://fire-phone-updates.s3.amazon...update-fire-phone-32.4.6.4_user_464000220.bin
Does anyone here knows what's new in this latest FireOS 4.6.4 Firmware update?
I let it inadvertently install. There' s nothing new I can see. I'm sure it must have patched stagefright. I'm trying to figure out it its safe to downgrade via ADB sideload of .6.1 so I can install safestrap.
Anybody figure out which combination of Google Services/Play work with this new 4.6.4? It killed what I had working...

Nah , its not working , the Google play store installs and starts but it will updated the Google services and then everything goes to crap.
I just got my Fire Phone today and it automatically updated to 4.6.4. I was getting a connection error so I uninstalled everything and reinstalled using 7.0.99 and I got it to work. I would try that

So you install only the Play Store from older version or all the supporting apk's ?

There doesn't seem to be a way to disable Google Play Services from automatically updating without rooting your fire phone.
Did the 7.0.99 install for my fire phone with the 4.6.4 update. Now, at least once a day, I have to uninstall Google Play Services because it keeps automatically updating, then reinstall with version 7.0.99, as well as force-close Google Play Store in the process. To make things more annoying, Google Play Services doesn't give you the option to disable updates so easily.
Has anyone found a workaround to this, preferably without having to root your fire phone?

You need to downgrade to 4.6.3. After that the Play Service update works after auto updating.

Hey guys, total Noob here and i just got my phone yesterday. I've been searching all over and i can't figure out how to downgrade to 4.6.3? tried factory reset but it didnt work.
I finally got the Play store to work after Play services updated to 7.8.99. Before I was uninstalling play store only every time I wanted to download a new app. It's been 24 hours plus and still working. Yes I have Fire OS on unlocked ATT 4.6.4

Is it still working for you?
So is having os 4.6.4 ok to have for google play side loading or should I downgrade to 4.6.3? And what's the best way to downgrade I can't find anything?
When you guys talk about google apps, will google maps and navigation work too? (on att branded fire phone). Can one of you pl check?
Yes, they work.
Play Store is acting fruity again, I've had to reload it a couple of times since I last posted. I can't say I've had any luck getting Google Maps to work (yet), but the stock maps works enough for me. I did get WAZE to run on it though.

Flash this file with SafeStrap https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347783512
That's 4.6.3
Use the formula from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/development/rom-cm-11-20150706-unofficial-t3151443, to flash CM11 but replace CM11 zip with the one in the link above.
I think this is correct.
Can someone else confirm? I'm new to this as well.
If it works, please thank me.

Also, install xposed framework and HDXposed to prevent update. Mine stayed on 4.6.3 without it but I added it just in case.
