hey, a have some problems with my HD 10 2017. i cant find Alexa anymore, it isnt in the system-settings or in the notification center?!
even when i press the home-button a bit longer, alexa wont come up. i did a normal reset and nothing helped, i did a wipe data/factory reset, same problem...
the tablet isnt rooted, i only played with this "Remove Amazon Lockscreen (No Root Required!)" solution but it didnt worked
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/development/remove-amazon-lockscreen-ads-adb-t3784848
then the update came to 5.6.2.0 and after that alexa wasnt there anymore, the other curios thing is that the ad-lockscreen is allways the same and isnt changing to another ad

Hi guys. I have a Fire HD 10 2017. When I first got it I let it update to 5.6.2. Later I decided to root with the intention of clearing Amazon bloatware and changing the launcher for a more minimal Android experience. I successfully gained root using Kingaroot, installed SuperSu, changed my build.prop to 987654321 to preclude future updates, and followed a tutorial here to delete many Amazon apps via ADB.
After deleting several apps, not including the Fire Launcher, I restarted my device. Now it will not boot to Home screen. It simply shows the Amazon start up screen. I can access the restore mode, and tried to do a factory reset, but no change.
The only thing I can think to do now is reload a stock 5.6.0 rom. Will that work? Can I do that from just the restore interface? Are there any guides posted here to help me through that?
Thanks for your help, any assistance is appreciated.

If I remember correctly there was a problem with WiFi in 5.6.1.0.
There's a patch somewhere in the forum or you can update to 5.6.4.0 which is very easy when you are already rooted.

Hi All,
Hope someone out there can help me.
So I have a Fire HD 10 that is about 1 year old and used fire Toolbox to have Microsoft launcher as a custom launcher and also did all the usual stuff like disabling ads etc and it worked perfectly.
Yesterday I got a new Fire HD 10 Plus for my wife (the latest version) on the black Friday offer
I have tried to do the same and install Microsoft launcher on it and everytime I hit the home button on the tab it just defaults back to the stock launcher.
I also have a problem with installing google services when it gets to installing Play store I get INSTALLATION FAILURE:[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NOT_APK}
I am also unable to disable the OTA updates in the modify system settings menu.
The only thing that has worked so far is that the ad screen has been disabled.
Any help out there would be welcome.
Thanks
Does anyone have any information on when there will be an update to fire Toolbox so it works with the latest Fire HD's?
Just got a new one yesterday and it came with 7.3.2.2 version it will not load the custom launcher and reverts back to the stock launcher also unable to disable OTA updates.

I just got my Fire 10 9th gen replacement today and it came with 7.3.2.2
Luckily, my HD 10 Plus was bought in June worked great.
Hi,
The only fix I suggest is if your fire hd is less than 1 month old return it back to amazon for a full refund and get another and make sure you connect it to fire toolbox as soon as you get it to disable ota updates.
Have the same issue here, complete wipe of data and still there is the 7.3.2.2 installed. Really creepy that it directly came with my WIFI Setting INSTALLED...

I just got a new fire hd (8-10th gen) and will do this. Thanks. Two questions. 1) I already have downloaded the toolbox. Once I connect my new Fire will the toolbox see it and activate or do I have to do something (e.g. reinstall it)? 2) Does the toolbox prevent Fire from auto installing new s/w versions? TIA

I had the same issue on my Fire HD 10 with Fire Toolbox V25.2. I reran the install by reopening TB and clicked on the Google Services option and it installed completely on Fire OS 7.3.2.2. Hopefully, this will solve your Plus install.
Hi - I need to remove everything Amazon on my tablet - disable OTA - flash it completely out of this universe. Whatever it takes I must turn this amazon tablet into an Android one. Please, has anyone got the guide for me to do this properly? I am aware of some update that disabled the feature to disable OTA in toolbox.
Thank you

Would require you find both a Custom Recovery and a Custom ROM, both suitable to tablet.
I have a Fire HD 10 (9th gen). I did a factory reset.
Using Toolbox V26.1, after I install Disney+ from Hybrid apps it is asking me to signup and pay a monthly fee.
The toolbox says it could be used without having to register.
Am I doing something incorrectly or am I not doing something I'm supposed to do?
I received my Fire 10 yesterday. When I booted it, it scared the hell out of me how they already knew everything about me. I immediately thought it was the most disgusting device I've ever purchased, because of the software, but then I used fire toolbox and thought I was in heaven, except when I opened it today, I realized that I was in hell. Amazon had reset the whole tablet but left the Google apps. I should have known it was too good to be true. I stopped rooting after marshmallow and will now have to learn it all over again.

The update is the problem. So no custom launcher as standard launcher anymore.
I am having an issue updating my Amazon Fire 8HD+ (gen 10). After going to Settings, Device Options, and pressing Device Options it just loops back to the Settings main landing page.
After calling customer support, they said that this fire tablet had not connected to the Amazon server for over 6 months and needs to update and that the only way is to factory reset and start from scratch.
Can anyone help? I really don't want to factory reset.
@MicFar,
What toolbox are you talking about? Is it the toolbox from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/windows-tool-fire-toolbox-v26-1.3889604/ . If so move the question to that thread and someone can help.
Now, if you installed the toolbox from the link above and connected your tablet to it and ran the toolbox, then more than likely you have disabled updates via the toolbox. Disabling updates is a feature of the toolbox. But without knowing what toolbox i'm just assuming it's the one i linked. Regardless, the best option is to move your question to the thread of the toolbox you used for the most help.
