You really should give credit to the devs that developed the kernel as well as the files you're using. Especially since you're using Hascodes files and seohhun's tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVuvR-hHOLE&feature=youtu.be
Hascode (his kernel and files) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
seokhun (his tutorial) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
You should credit to Bin4ry for the root and restore tool and TWRP for the custom recovery.
You may want to include that only TWRP images that are modified by Hascode can be used on the Kindle series tablets.
Overall the video is well done. I liked it. You may catch a little heat if you don't give a little props to those who deserve it though.

[Q] Stock Kindle Reader on Firs with ICS

So I successfully rooted my Fire and installed and ICS build - very happy with it! Much thanks to all the developers out there doing great work!!!
The only thing missing would be to have a way to install the stock Kindle Fire reader app onto the rooted Fire with ICS. Not having access to the additional features such as margin adjustment, lending library, etc. is kind of a pain.
Any ideas on how to get that to work?!?

Rooting and Installing CM10.2 Jelly Bean 4.3 on Kindle Fire HD 7.

Hello all!
Thanks to this great forum and other sources, (but mostly this forum) I was able to turn my Kindle Fire into a Google tablet with a lot more functionality than the stock Amazon Kindle. Thus, I've decided to show my appreciation by making a contribution of my own in the hopes that it will be very helpful to others attempting the same thing, since I had to search multiple sources to find solutions to the various problems I ran into. Now hopefully with what I've managed to compile, people won't have to do what I did and the process will be made much quicker and smoother! Since I'm new I can't put urls in my post, so I've made a nice .pdf to download with the links to all necessary downloads.
Enjoy, and a huge thank you to xda-developers!
EDIT: The .pdf route just wasn't work out, I guess, so I put the original Word file.

I think you should research more before putting this up for everyone. There is no unroot after rooted on KFHD. Some things can be accessed via Amazon apps other such as Amazon Prime movies cannot. If someone wants that, they should go with Kinology ROM. Root many Android has there downloads on XDA as well.
I know that you're trying to help but there are tutorials here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347170 for the 7" and as many 8.9" tutorials.

Just sharing what worked for me, because doing this on the Kindle is quite complicated and difficult, and people often run into issues. So if something doesn't work, we resort to searching the web for other methods. Therefore the more methods that are available the better chances someone has of getting it to work.
And sorry, but I would appreciate it if you didn't accuse me of not doing enough research. There were multiple sources that said unroot does work for the HD. I guess I'll have to try it myself, though.

Your instructions are choppy and missing steps. If I were a n00b, I would be confused. You can un-root a Kindle Fire HD and go stock again by restoring the system. But the statement you made at the end of your tutorial makes no sense. A rooted Kindle Fire HD does not lose any of the Amazon features. You cannot swap back and forth unless you flash an Amazon OS nandroid backup or use Kinology. That's how you regain the features of the Amazon OS after installing a 2nd bootloader and a custom ROM.
You know what I would appreciate? Don't offer something in a tutorial that can't be done and you have not even tried yourself because when people try it, they can do some damage to an expensive tablet.

Have you installed TWRP and a second bootloader? This is prerequisite for a custom ROM on a Kindle Fire HD.

Right now the system is Fire OS 5.3.1.0.
Please can someone help me with a tutorial/guide, I have no clue how to flash or something.
I really don't like the original Fire OS.

What would need to be done in order to open up ROM development for the Fire HD 10 (5th gen)?
Is it still not possible to root Fire OS 5.3.1.0 on my Fire HD 10 2015?
There are so many CVE's that people could abuse.
That would be so sick if I could flash linux on it, I'm so sad.
Is there no way to bruteforce the bootloader? ?

No way to exploit your Fire tablet's bootloader to gets cracked
You can use your Fire tablet as:
-> Digital Clock
-> Android app debugger (If your PC doesn't have a virtualization technology to run Android virtual device in Android Studio)
-> Android Auto head unit
-> Smart display
-> MIDI controller (If you don't have a money to buy a MIDI controller. Use your old Fire tablet as a MIDI keyboard in digital audio workstation or stand-alone virtual instruments)

Fire HD 8 ROMS??

I hate to sound like a sub-noob, but where are the Fire HD 8 ROMs? I got TWRP and Magisk installed on my new Fire (using the adb-only method). I see the posting with the stock firmware. But I'd like the plain Android experience. Something I'm missing?

It is not straightforward as there is no existing ROM that can be ported to the HD8 (8th generation). There is a beta version of Lineage 14.1 available though: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/lineageos-14-1-fire-hd8-2018-t3936242 but at the moment there is no audio and video working. From a recent post in the above thread it sounds like this will be fixed soon.
Well bummer. I'll keep an eye out for the stuff in development. At least having root will help manage the bloatware. I've already tried an app for system package removal but it wasn't working on the few packages I tried.
Found the stock 6.3.0.1 ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78893195&postcount=441
Which is helpful since I bricked my Fire HD 8. Installing this in TWRP let get the system back.

Need Help Finding Root For Fire HD 10 7th generation, Fire OS 5.6.6.0 (654620620)

I would like to root the Fire HD 10 7th generation, Fire OS 5.6.6.0 (654620620). Can someone please help me with this? I would even be happy running just Linux Mint but prefer to just root and run launcher with updates disabled. Thanks!

Geez that sounds pretty dicey. I'm sure it works great but I want to learn Linux, I don't know it yet. Intentionally bricking my tablet? It would be awesome if there were a step by step walkthrough video of this procedure.
The tread you are referring to says you need to root the device: 'get mtk-su by @diplomatic from here and place (the unpacked binary) into amonet/bin folder'
However that root method will not work on 5.6.6.0 version. I am searching myself as well.
