Android Firmware for Kindle
Someone bought Android for Kindle.There are some information about it.
Tutorial: http://kdroid.org/firmware/kindle/ki...%E6%9C%BA.html Firmware: http://kdroid.org/ He gave the seller his serial number, so I think the activation code is calculated by the serial number. His activation code: KKNB JLMK LQYI Is there a way to modify the serial number of the Kindle? Last edited by zaoqi; 01-12-2019 at 05:58 AM. |

That would be fraudulent.

I am unhappy enough that I have to use Amazon's firmware.
I definitely would not want to be using Chinese replacement firmware that's also Android. > Is there a way to modify the serial number of the Kindle? Possibly, you'll need root for sure for that and I don't imagine you'll get much help on this forum. Don't PM me about it, because I have no clue.

Looks interesting. Maybe you missed the instructions that I found here. Sadly no firmware there for my KT or K3W.
http://kdroid.org/firmtest/droid/dro...%e9%aa%a4.html I'm using Google Translate to translate into English and I see lots of "Brush" references. I think maybe "Brush" is a mistranslation of "Kindle"? I would be quite interested to see how this works out. |

So isn't anybody interested in how they actually got Android running on the Kindle, something that has been something of a holy grail of this forum?

It is in pre-production testing at Amazon/Lab126 now and has been for several years.
Plus, this forum's members are strongly for the Open Source movement. Failure to disclose @ this forum will earn you silence at best, you don't want to know about the worse. |

Note the following: - "Fire OS E Ink" in the URL - The version number (not the "fake" 5.7.2.7, but the "real" 6.4.3 in the URL) Any thoughts? |

IIRC, anything with a major > 5 is consistent with the usual FireOS version scheme, as far back as the original Fire tablet.
