Just won a Kindle Fire HD on eBay which gives registration error ... work around? - 7" Kindle Fire HD General

I just won and paid for it today (hasn't shipped yet) a Kindle Fire HD that receives the message "There was an error while registering your Kindle. Please try again later" when trying to register it on an Amazon account. It didn't have any bidders so I bid cheap and one thinking there must be a fix for it so I can register it with my Amazon account. So could I do it?
If not I can still root and put a customer ROM on it and access the Play Store right? I would like it to work with my Amazon account too though as I have a lot of books purchased from there.
So what is the prognosis for this?

Yes, that sounds like it will be easily fixable with a custom ROM, but it also sounds like you may never be able to register that Kindle on stock OS.

Would I be able to install a custom ROM and be able to register it with Amazon?

Unless you pick Kinology, there is no real "registering it with Amazon" on a custom ROM. You will be able to download the Amazon Appstore just fine and log in, if that's what you were wondering.

If you really wanted to use the stock software or Kinology, you could spend about $35 and get a new motherboard, and swap it out with the old one. Once you power it on for the first time with the new motherboard, Amazon will think it's a different Kindle, and let you register it.
A bit of a drastic step, but... it works.

daily free app so should last one day or so..
you need to buy it on your PC or phone first before it can be downloaded to the TF.. purchase on the TF gives a 'device not supported' error.
The game itself is playable..much like the amazon version of PVZ..but the graphics are not optimized for the tablet..

I download and use the free apps from the Amazon app store on my TF all the time. I only have the Appstore installed on the TF, not my desktop. Not sure why you are getting the error about not being supported.
Edit: Ah, UK, maybe that's it.

This is an issue with Peggle, not amazon apps.
Clicking Get App from the Appstore application on the TF gives a device not supported error.
I got the same thing, from the US.
Instead, I went to the amazon website, clicked buy (for $0.00) and then went into the TF and went to My Apps and clicked install.

Seems that Amazon have got this marked as incompaible with the Transformer, Xoom & A500 but compatible with the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Wonder how much Samsung paid for that
Anyone know how to install apps outside the US? I live in the UK and tried to install a free app and it said not available to my country.

I'm from the UK and I followed this guide
http://android.modaco.com/content/s...tore-from-outside-the-us-including-paid-apps/
(I use the same US Amazon account to access the Amazon Cloud Music service, if you need to know how to get the Android App to allow you access to that let me know and I'll send you those details)
installed it in my xformer just fine. and its not for tablets really, the resolution for this game is def for phones, however it does fill the screen
I downloaded Peggle from the amazon app store and installed it on my rooted Milestone. Much like plants vs zombies it loads up and crashes after loading the logo and hourglass. Using the same apk I've got it working on a galaxy Vibrant and captivate. Could it be because my phone is rooted or is the milestone just not powerful enough to run it?

oliverm,
we have all the Kindle images, just let us know which one you need (Kindle Fire 7" or Kindle Fire HD 7") and
what software version you are currently running. We will then send you a PM with a link to download the image
files. You will also need a "Factory USB Cable" which is used to get the Kindle Fire HD 7" into Fastboot
Mode. contact XDA User SkOrPn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=500006 he sells the cables.
Send him a PM with the Subject "Factory Cable Info Please" include the Country to ship the cable.
He will send you a PayPal invoice. The cables run about $20 USD, maybe a little less. Once
you get the cable, we will give you the image either through a download link or on CD ROM. We
will also give you step-by-step on how to Restore your Kindle.

Got Scammed on HDX on craigslist. Its stolen

Just bought 2 kindle fire HDX on craigslist and one ended up on the stolen list!!! This sucks as it was my sons christmas gift. I contacted amazon and they said just keep it but it cannot access amazon services. Is there anyway to bypass it? I know you can sideload apps but i cannot install a file manager. I tried contacting the person that sold it to me to get a refund and also tried returning to amazon but both came up empty. Any help would be appreciated as i have tried to do the right thing. Please let me know. My daughters kindle is fine so i need to try and get this one working.
Panic not!
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210417 and grab the apk for es first then install the 1mobile app from here http://m.1mobile.com/1mobile_market-79873.html and you're good to go.
Edit: or just install 1mobile and grab es from there
Further edit: i'm assuming silk works? At work at the mo so cant check to make sure you can install apps from silk
Last edit: If silk cannot invoke the apk installer use adb install /path/to/app.apk (/sdcard/Download I suspect) and if you cannot use silk at all, download the apk on to a PC, use adb push then adb install

Hi, removing other amazon apps helped, i finally got underground store working.
Before I had Prime Video Launcher with Amazon VOD running. If I now try to install the Prime Video Launcher including Amazon VOD, I get an error for Amazon VOD.
Is it not possible to run both?
Thanks

Some games are free and cost you money on Google.
E.g. Beach Buggy Blitz. Free on both but the Amazon version is fully loaded with split screen 2-4 players and all levels.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic $9.99 on Goolge Play. $0 on AU.
Riptide GP2. Google $2.99. Amazon $0.
Don't get me wrong I love Google and dislike the Amazon Ecosystem but...

It is, you can have a look here.
Otherwise, on my side using the StockRestyle ROM, I managed to have both using the version 2.0.45.1210 of Instant Video. Important: I installed both of them first, and only then launched them one after the other.
The links were removed?
Why does amazon get to remove links from this forum? Can you link to a forum that doesn't have such stupid restrictions? All it was trying to do was help amazons services run better on this device. I guess that it would be in there interest for it not to work because then maybe you would buy one of their tablets instead... but to let them remove links? Seems really bad.

Yes, this tablet is perfect. And you can easy root it with k4y0z method or diplomatic's method.
Thanks and how i can remove the Special Offers?
I'm not sure if this applies to newer models, but on my HD8 2016 if you never register to Amazon you never get special offers. I haven't seen one ad since I've owned it.

There are 4 ways To remove the ads, With root, you can uninstall them. A program called automate, and from what I seen through a Amazon customer service chat. Or pay the extra money.
What is the Best Way to remove this and can tell me anyone, i would like to use Prime Video ,Skygo, Netflix with this Tablet also i would like to use the normal Play Store, so whats the Best way for it?
Anyone know can I made a Custom Rom on this Tablet? is it able? Lineage OS

Rooting should be the best solution.

No at this time there is no Custom ROM available.

I have never gotten ads on any amazon tablet I have owned that had special offers. The only tablet I have ever registered with Amazon is my old 8.9. Sometimes it made downloading the OTA easier.
So i shouldn´t register the Tablet and cancel the First Wirless Lan Access right?
I would like to install Playstore and my favorit Game and Netflix,Skygo and something more Apps.
Guys, before i make any changes, can i make a full backup for warranty that i can just go to restore Orignal Amazon FW without root or any changes
My suggestion is to ask amazon to remove them if you have the ad's. You don't need root to install the play store or apps you seem to be interested in. To make a full backup, you need to be rooted. But looking at what you want to do, just fire it up and use it. There is currently nothing preventing you from changing your mind and deciding to root. I don't like automate cause it is an application being used in the background. Many have reported that just contacting or emailing amazon has got their ads removed. Worst case is they charge you 10-15$ and credit is back from what the thread said. Check out the thread under general. If you don't register you wont have access to the amazon stuff (amazon video, amazon app store, and etc.
