Hello,
finally Amazon released OS 5.1.1 for Fire HDX 8.9 Saturn users and there may be the slight chance that 3rd Gen HDX users will benefit soon, too. Fire OS 5.1.1. is out in the wild for other devices since a while and so the overview of capable "modifications" of 5.1.1 is spread over multiple forums of different (HD) devices and it is not known if they are applicaple for Saturn user or i.e. need to be modified in advance.
That`s why I want to start this thread where I want to collect the capabilities / links for modification of 5.1.1 with Saturn HDX users only! This thread will be modified in the future to list all capabilities. So I need your feedback what you have tested and what is working especially if it is not listed in this post. Please do tell if you modifed something to get it working. And beginners, please do not abuse this thread with general questions to maintain the overview!
Tested and working:
1) Installing GApps without root (no modification needed): From Fire 7 2015 Forum
(18.11.2017) OR use this script to only install PlayStore: http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Amazon%20Fire%205th%20gen/SuperTool where you can also remove OTA updates, etc.
2) After install of PlayStore: Root with Kingroot: EDIT 18.11.2017: Download Kingroot 4.8.0 from http://apkmirror.com (use this old version to make it work to replace with the following script below) and transfer it with the Android File Transfer. Use ES Explorer via PlayStore to open and install the transfered kingroot4.8.0.apk.
Afterwards I replaced KingUser with SuperSU with this little Script: Replace KingUser
3) Change launcher with root:
1. Install Nova Launcher (or another launcher) via Play Store
2. Open an adb shell (or use Terminal Emulator via PlayStore)-> su -> pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher
3. Open Nova Launcher again and everything is fine
Untested but maybe possible (volunteers appreciated):
- Change launcher without root: From HD 8 / 10 2015 Forum
Not working
- Installation of custom ROMS like CyanogenMod, Nexus, etc.
Ok, good news! It is possible to root 5.1.1 on HDX Saturn!
Just go to www.kingroot.net with your device and download the latest .apk for Android.
Open and root, it first fails but the second possibility works.
Afterwards I replaced KingUser with SuperSu according to this: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
I don't use "gapps"; just installed the "latest" for the 8.9, login/account-manager, framework, play services & play store. Play store didn't work before the 5.1.1 but now works. After the 5.1.1 install, dialogue popped up & said update of play services needed & so I said do it. After selecting "update" & during the update, I realize that the webpage was Google Play store!.
Along with my Play Services update, I got updates for several apps I had side loaded as in Youtube & otherss from Google; later on had some more updates from Google. I didn't install any gapps package, just apps that were not available on Amazon for the Fire 8.9; don't believe that gapps are needed unless one wanted that stuff as it is the access into Google Play Store that is desirable.
Also the ADB command line may not be needed as I did that prior to installing 5.1.1 & don't know if 5.1.1 removed/overrode it.
Anyway, I'm OK with getting my apps gotten from Google will now get auto updated from Google & the stuff from Amazon get updated from Amazon.

Thanks for the guide, everything in the tested and working section worked perfectly
I have the hdx 4th gen 8.9 tablet running latest 5.1.1 and have installed kingroot. Root is working and I have removed a few bloat packages and installed root explorer. I was unable to use adb install for these.
My question is....I am trying to use ADB to install apks, I have turned on the dev mode and set for debugging, My tablet connects, but remains "offline"
I have tried stopping and starting the server with no luck...so I can not sideload apks etc.
I'm wondering if it's the sdk tools, so I went ahead and downloaded the toolkit, installed Java, and now need to install the appropriate android version..lollipop. I also have a firetv stick and have not had to download or install any of the toolkit in order to use adb for installs, so why is the kindle hdx showing me as offline and unable to install. What have I missed? I really don't want to install the sdk packs if I don't need to..(which I didn't need to for the firetv)
Thanks

Use the ADB Drivers in this package: http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.php?file=Amazon%20Fire%205th%20gen/Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip They work flawless for me.
Otherwise install Google Play Store with the file above and use the Play Store to install apps. You still can donwload .apk directly via the browser on the device.
Last but not least use the "general" method to transfer .apk files with Android File Transfer App via MacOSX or MTP on Windows: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2840804?hl=en

I ended up downloading and installing the SDK toolkit, but I didn't install anything but the amazon driver listed under "extras". adb now works for installs. Right now, I don't need all the other sdk stuff, so that was it...very simple
I jsut got a new HDX Saturn, and it is currently on 4.2. Can I update manually to a rootable version of FireOS ?
What would you recommend? I guess no Safetrap for the 4th gen, right - meaning no custom roms.

- 4.5.5.1 and early versions of 5.x.x (<5.1.2) are rootable w/Kingroot
- no Safestrap or custom roms for 4th gen HDX
- GAaps works better w/FireOS 5.x but you need be careful it doesn't update to 5.1.2 or above; no going back (instant brick)

To my knowledge working links for older 5.x HDX builds have not been maintained (publicly posted) as they were for 4.x. Upgrading is a dicey proposition as going too far will yield an unrootable build with no rollback option. Examples:
- an OTA update will likely bring you first to 4.5.5.1 (rootable) then 5.1.2.1 (unrootable at present)
- grabbing the latest update directly from Amazon will likely score 5.1.2.1 or higher

OK I grabbed the 5.1.1 from here and updated to 5.1.1
1) Do you know how to disable OTA (I tried the adb shell pm hide com.amazon.device.software.ota and other similar methods without root) - at the moment it started downloading the 5.1.2 update
2) Is there a way to remove the (almost) downloaded 5.1.2?
3) I installed KingRoot but it needs WIFI to root so I cannot root at the moment (if I turn Wifi the update will be resumed)

- rebooting device should discard partial 5.1.2 download
- pm hide and similar non-root methods are unreliable
- download/launch kingroot; only connect when read to root
- see other threads for file that needs to be renamed to block OTA

I was looking for the other threads for the OTA block but couldnt remmebr which one works for Saturn. I remember otacert had to be renamed on Apollo.
So, I did something else:
1) downloaded kingroot PC version, connected via adb/usb and rooted without WIFI
2) Installed Super-Sume+Pro+v9.1.9.apk (to replace SuperSU)
3) Updated SuperSU SuperSU_v2.65.apk
4) Installed Root Explorer v4.0.1.apk
5) renamed /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTA/DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk to DeviceSoftware OTA.apk_ to prevent OTA
6) deleted /cache/update-saturn_saturn-541113320-to-542169020.bin
7) reboot
Cheerz!
I have an HDX 8.9 (4th Gen) running 5.1.2. Is there any way to roll it back to 5.1.1. so I can root?

Perfect! Couldn't have scripted it better. Offline version of Kingroot is the bomb. Glad it all worked out - enjoy.

Thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Anyone know how to get 1080p (and 1440p hopefully) youtube? I've only seen build prop changes mentioned for the old hdxs on 4.4.4 by changing it to 5.0.0. Well the build prop is already set to 5.1.1 and 480p is the max res.
sorry wrong thread.

I am a little bit confused because you're talking about 5.1.1 download and in URL I see 22.5.4.1 and I don't want to loose root. Is the version 5.1.1 in the file update-kindle-22.5.4.1_user_541113320.bin or do I mix something?

Hey all,
Realistically speaking how long do you think they'll have a root for 5.4.0.0? I finally found of a method to block OTA updates by downloading noroot firewall and blocking any network access to OTA.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there hasn't been any root progress since v5.3.1.1 - Root for 5.4.x may never happen.
It would still be a good idea to block Amazon updates (check for other threads), just in case we get a nice surprise.

You can follow this method and 'uninstall' DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk and 'forced OTA' (I forget the exact name). You can use an app like App Inspector to list all installed apps, even system apps, to get the exact package names. Be advised, this MIGHT not work if you are on 5.4.0.1.
Does anyone know how to do this in ADB? Would I be able to just uninstall that way and also what is the package file name? I rather not use an app to do so.
Thanks,
Based on @savvytechwinner's work, on Wicki's work (Mod Edit - NO links to competing Forums) and on some experimentation of my own, I put together a new script to further ease the setup of an out-of-the-package Amazon Fire 7 / 7th gen and to clean up more throughly. This is a derivative / remix / improvement rather than something new. Thanks go to all the people this work is based on.
I already announced this in savvytechwinner's thread, but I figured setting up it's own thread is warranted.
What it does:
OTA Updates are blocked
Lockscreen ads are removed
Functional Google Play Store and Google Go search are installed
Bloatware is removed from the tablet
Functional Nova Launcher, Adblocker (DNS66) and light Youtube Client (NewPipe) are installed
Out-of-the-package instructions:
Have adb and Amazon Fire USB drivers installed on your PC.
Power on your Fire tablet, do the initial setup. DO NOT CONNECT TO WIFI. Instead, select any password protected wifi, then cancel, and initial setup will let you continue without internet.
Enter Settings -> Device options -> click Serial 7 times. A new menu entrypoint called Developer options will pop up.
In Developer options, enable ADB, then connect your tablet to your computer. Confirm the fingerprint. If that didn't work, look here for troubleshooting.
Now, extract the contents of this package somewhere on your computer and double click FireOneClick.bat.
You can watch how Amazon's apps vanish, but it is recommended not to do anything else with your tablet while the script does its work.
After it's finished, enter Settings -> Accessibility -> "enable To detect home button press". Then, open the LauncherHijack app and select Nova Launcher.
Open the DNS66 app and start it. This will run in background (at low memory consumption) and block ads.
Download the One Click Script from here.
Full readme, including credits and more info is found in my GitHub repo.
Just a heads up, I used this script on a fire 7 I had literally just opened, and it was successful in loading GApps and Blocking ads, but it did not debloat the amazon apps and it also did not block OTA updates...I woke up to a fire 7 that auto updated to 5.6.0. I'm not complaining here, since Nova Launcher is still installed and ads are nonexistent, just letting you know!

Dammit... what version did you start on? Assuming it was 5.4.0.1?
Hi my 7" is on 5.4.0.
Does this just block the download or the update itself? Because I accidentally downloaded the OTA update but the tablet doesn't updated jet.
Is there a way to delete the update without root?

It blocks the update itself by disabling all apps that would apply it. I still recommend turning Wifi off and doing a factory reset, so the update data is gone for sure.
Blocking the update / debloating most likely did not work for @hiphopsded cause he started from 5.4.0.1. Blocking updates / removing ads / debloating is onlypossible on v5.4.0.0 and below. I am somewhat surprised he doesn't have ads on the lockscreen, but I think that is due to the DNS66 adblocker doing it's work properly.
EDIT: @hiphopsded - maybe there is still hope, but you'll have to do the research yourself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75167286&postcount=437
@k8500 I was on v5.4.0.0
I opened it brand new from sealed packaging, canceled connecting to a WiFi I did not have the password to, and was brought into the device home screen without ever connecting to WiFi to verify that I was on v5.4.0.0 and proceeded with installing the one click script.
Everything worked except debloating the tablet and OTA Updates being blocked. Not sure what went wrong. But having the launcher, google apps, and no ads is fine enough.
Another confirmation of this working on 5.4.0.0
Just received an Amazon Fire 7 - 7th gen. It ships with 5.4.0.1
I was able to downgrade from 5.4.0.1 to 5.4.0.0, then use this batch file to clean up the tablet.
Thanks!
already (well) used 7gen currently on 5.6.0.1
any idea when this will be updated to work on 5.6.0.1?
and next question does it actually root the tablet?
thanks in advance

Does not root and will not be updated for 5.6.x.x as Amazon disabled the underlying commands that perform the magic.

ok. So, bottom line, I can either wipe the unit, and start over; or
try and root the fire tablet to get rid of ads, and install other stuff...)
any other ideas?
I've rooted lots of android, and would actually prefer a more android, rather then amazon centric tablet....

Can't root 7th gen Fire at present. Period. Can't load a different ROM w/o root. Try sketchy rollback/debloat techniques at your own peril. Contact Amazon to dump annoying lock screen ads. Install a VPN based firewall like AdGuard to dispense with in-app advertising. Possibly install a different launcher using non-root techniques. Pretty much it.
Maybe I'm a little late in opening this thread up again, but let me ask this:
I just got a Kindle 7 (7th generation) in the mail, to replace our son's old one (5th generation, though unfortunately never rooted) that started messing up (so presumably the new one is refurbished). We don't like all the amazon bloat, etc., and would prefer the different launcher or anything more android-like we can get. I would love to block the OTA updates. So your tool sounds great.
I opened it and turned it on but haven't set up the device yet. I see it's version 5.3.3.0 Does this one click script of yours work on the 5.3.3.0 ? Are there any other suggestions on the best way to use my new device (taking out amazon bloat and more like google) considering it's *not* the newest OS that Amazon makes? I.e. are there any options I have available to me currently that I want to be sure I don't lose out on by accidentally updating or something? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Thanks for letting me know, but maybe I'm doing something wrong because I can't get it to work at all. To start with, I had already opened my fire tablet but skipped setup (also skipped signing into wifi because I knew that could give me an auto-update). So maybe that's what screwed it up? Maybe I should reset to factory and try again?
I had installed the fire drivers too but my fire never showed up in "portable devices" in device manager (in fact, I never saw such a category - but it did show up in devices as "MTP device").
The adb worked fine as I was able to get it to "show devices". However, the one-click never did anything. Usually I use powershell, but then I tried running through normal command prompt, but still no luck. I tried putting it in my adb fastboot folder (is that my problem? does it need the full adb and adb fastboot isn't enough?) and it still didn't work. So, maybe my first step was the problem or maybe a subsequent one, I don't know, but I couldn't get any of it to work.
uninstall apps
cannot uninstall applications , i downgrade to 5.4.0 but applications are only hiding , they are still in the system .
PROOF : you can check your free space before and after uninstalling, you will gain nothing important.
but for removing ads or blocking update , its working for 5.4.0 !!!

I'm getting a Fire HD10 delivered tomorrow.
I've read through a lot of threads on here but so many seem to be dealing with the hd8 & non root solutions & some seem to contradict each other or have been made outdated due to new solutions etc & my heads spinning a bit!
I want to root it, install Google services & play store, disable stock launcher & use nova launcher.
Is there are specific order I need to do, or should do, all this in?
What is the preferred method for installing Google play store?
Also, how do I block OTA updates? I've seen a couple of threads mentioning it but haven't stumbled on a specific way that appears to work?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have done all the above and here is my person slant:
Google services do not require root so can be done at anytime just make sure you get the right files and the right versions
Using nova launcher as your default launcher can be done with or without root but with root is much easier (you just freeze firelauncher)
Stopping further ota updates for me is done in two ways:
1) block at the router level (this obviously can be done independently of the device)
2) with root again freeze BOTH ota apps. One is for system updates and one is for app updates I freeze both just to be safe and have never been notified of the update to 5620... Still on 5610
As far as rooting itself I would use the offline method listed in forums here. Personally after rooting I took an additional step and loaded one of the predone images also found in forums that had root and xposed all built in. This additional process required the use of the flashfire app that is a whole other set of procedures but overall is well worth it. Flashfire will give you the ability to update to newer software versions without updating the bootloader. Thus you will always be up to date but not lose the ability to downgrade if needed. This ASSUMES you are initially on 5601 or 5610. If your already on 5620 your bootloader is already locked from downgrades.
how do i block ota updates for unrooted devices other than keeping them offline? before previusly router blocking did not help as it got thugh anyway. they are at 6.3.0.0 should i update to 6.3.0.1 for sd card storage support or dose it patch potential exploit for root?

Use NoRoot Firewall app to block OTA updates from internet access
Set "DeviceSoftwareOTA, System Update, System Updates" to "X" to deny
