COMPLETE GUIDE To Installing Android 7 To Kindle | Tutorial | Kindle Fire HD 7 | RC Films

Hey Guys! Today I'll show you how to totally install Android 7 from scratch on your Kindle Fire HD 7. This could also be used as a 'How to Root" or a "How to install TWRP" video. But in order to keep it as simple as possible I'm making it into one simple video on how to turn your Kindle into a pure Android device.

Got a kindle today for $1 at a yard sale and thought it was broken because it would not hold a charge. Once i connected it, it started to charge and i thought i had seen it in a video somewhere. I finally found the video and it had a really old version of fire os so i backed it up and installed this mod. Now i can say i have a $1 android tablet! Works GREAT!

This will be my first attempt on a kindle(which is the first I have ever even physically touched) that my friend just got for $10. Being honest will be my first tablet I've ever attempted. I have rooted several phones in the past 2 years and I'm pretty confident in my abilities. I will say that I've been a little nervous about attempting this on someone else's device, but after your video I feel very confident in my chance for success. You're very concise, to the point, the files are all they're organized and you did a great job of switching the camera angles between the Windows computer and the Kindle itself. I think this will all add up to a walk in the park victory. Thank you bro. You are a handful of aces

Lengthy but if you follow step by step, it works. Only hiccup was the .android folder did not show up in my USER name in the USERS directory. But I just copied the adb-usb file into my USER name in the USERS directory and it worked. I now have an Android tablet. Well done, RC.

Just did this in the hopes of using a useless Kindle as a secondary SIM dash. I haven't messed with Cyanogen mod since like 2010(?) or so. This worked like a friggin' CHARM. Thanks, dude!!

Worked perfectly for me! I got confused at points but after rewatching a couple times I managed to install android on my fire 7"

Installed today on my 2012 kindle FIRE HD 7 and it worked like a charm. Nice explained video

[davidcooper]

this worked for me, upgrading a kindle that was previously on version 7.5.1.

kindle didn`t appear in the same place on the device manager. it was under `portable devices`, and attempting to upgrade the device didn`t work. as per another comment, i skipped this step, and all was fine.

also, in ES File Explorer, i needed up sign up for a free trial in order to be able to install the apk file.


thanks for the video!

[rickrodriguez]

Thank you SOOOO much. You turned my useless old tablet into a slightly more useful tablet. Fun project to do. Thanks again!

[MiguelSaucedoOfficial]

Great tutorial, I followed you step by step and got my old tablet working with android, this is great!

[Uttarkar]

Woohoo! Worked like a charm on my Kindle HD 7 2nd Gen. Only difference was I was already rooted. All other steps were pretty clear. Thanks RC Films.

IT WORKED like a charm. April 17, 2024. Man, you're the greatest. I spent hours watching tutorials, but you, you make the best videos. This tutorial is so precise, so patiently made, high care on details, you just can't make a mistake you follow every step. & years now, and still working. Thanks a lot. It's always great to bring old tech back to life.

Very good and easy tutorial. It worked at first (Windows 10/ Kindle 7 HD). Thanks

[charbusable]

Thank you so much, it was a bit hard following the instructions but I persevered and it payed off! I now have a new android tablet! 🎉🎊

it doesnt show me android composite adb at all in device meneger, why? i see only adb device

[simonthewatchguy]

Thanks - still working in 2023. I just didn't need to install the device manager stuff. Side note: if your kindle says it can't register when trying to sign into amazon, you put your email and password, then it emails you your OTP. Then you sign in with email and OTP - you don't put password in the 2nd time. Then download the file manager and super user checker. You can no longer use EFS manager to install third party apps, but luckily there's a file manager (yellow folder colour) that's available and lets you install apps.

mine doesnt add the ADB driver after giving the compatibility issue message and i back out or go forward both still shows some other driver thats installed

[BillyFLJeffs]

I was so happy that I was finally able to follow a video to get a better OS onto my kindle... and everything in the video worked, but then of course something had to ruin it. Once it boots into CM14, the touchscreen is just completely buggy and unusable :(

[narev]

I have a Fire 5, am able to find it under USB devices, but when I do "Have Disk" and point it where you said, I get "This location does not contain a device driver for this device"

[TwoCoolYo]

it worked perfectly without any issues
the bootup when restarting the device is kinda slow and weird but dont worry its fine. we are running 8+ year old hardware

[komyuta]

I just did it, worked perfectly, thank you very much.
I appreciate your work.
Everything works fine, nice ! I can only recommend doing / trying it yourself.
