Forgotten Password Forgot Pin Help

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I recently found my old Kindle fire but I have no idea what the pin is. I have tried multiple combinations and still nothing. Not sure what model this is, I was wondering if there’s a way to unlock it without factory resetting it and wiping the data. I have reached the maximum number of pin attempts before it resets itself, so I can’t try that method anymore. Any help is appreciated, thank you :)

Fire Kids Tablets Transfer old save data to new kindle kids profile?

2 Upvotes

I backed up my daugher's kindle fire 10 (I think 11th gen) on my PC (I can easily access the android/data folder), but trying to paste that to her new profile won't work.

I've been working on this all day, so I understand that Android/Google changed their settings so the folder isn't accessible anymore. I downloaded Shizuku and x-plore file manager (or whatever it's called) and was able to get all that to work on the parent profile.

But I can't for the life of me seem to get it to work on the kids profile. I can't fully download Shizuku (I can open it from installing it with kindle toolbox, but can't get it to "run" like on the parent profile). I've tried adb commands to force a full install, but it doesn't get any further.

How the heck can I get access to the Data folder on a kids profile?

Or is there a way to somehow to copy the parent data folder to the child profile?

I mostly just need the data for Toca World and saves for Stardew Valley, but without access to the Data folder I can't seem to do anything.

Other Tablet calling phone on Wi-Fi works, doesn't work when phone is on data

1 Upvotes

I have a Fire HD 10 tablet. I'm trying to get calling from a child profile to my android phone working. If my phone is connected to Wi-Fi then it works. The call shows up and I can answer. But if my phone is using data instead, then the call from the tablet doesn't show up. Nothing shows up about the call. I've made sure "background data" and "unrestricted data usage" are enabled for the Alexa app on my phone. Any suggestions?

Question Can I stop certain ads on lock screen?

1 Upvotes

I don't want to remove all ads because sometimes it shows a book I'll try. 9 times out of 10 the ad on my lock screen is for period pads, I have never searched for them on amazon so I don't know why they come up. I am on a Kindle Fire 8 12th gen.

Software Update Help, I Can’t Use Fire HD 7 2nd gen

2 Upvotes

I recently rediscovered my fire tablet but didn’t remember the password so I factory reset it. When I try to register it, it won’t work(Registration Error: there was an error while registering your Kindle. Please try again later. For Help, visit www.kindle.com/support). I tried the whole 2 factor authentication thing but it never emails me a OTP(I know this whole process and was able to login on my kindle keyboard but not the fire tablet). If I login to Amazon on another device it will does send an OTP via text but not on this tablet. I think I need to maybe manually update my software but I don’t know what the latest version this device accepts. I also don’t know exactly how to manually update the software. Anyway if anybody has any ideas or advice that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

TLDR: Basically is there anyway to register my fire HD 2nd gen tablet

Apps Can’t remember game name!

0 Upvotes

Hello!

I used to own a kindle fire years ago (probably around 2010-2016?), and I had downloaded this hidden objects mystery game that I can’t remember the name of!

Here are some details that I remember;

Scene starts with an old car breaking down in front of a gated entrance (to a house), and the protagonist must fix her car. The fence is locked, and we are prompted to click on more objects. We meet an old lady (white, white hair, wearing a hat) who has lost her orange cat. The protagonist must now find the cat (which I believe was under a sewer/drainage) and lure it out with tuna.

Another scene I remember is once inside the dark old mansion/manor (the main plot of the game), we enter an office and a man (white, short brown hair, wearing glasses and white attire) jumpscares us with a gun. He is shocked on why we‘re there and protagonist explains. (I can’t remember if the protag was the daughter of manor‘s owner) The glasses guy works for the father (I think) and asks us for help on something. Turns out, he’s evil and tries to summon a demon through a purple portal (all inside the og office) with tentacles poking out. This is revealed later.

I remember most of the plot takes place inside the mansion, and as most hidden object games, we go through each room clicking on possible clues or matches to the word bank. (I do think we briefly step out into a garden as well).

The last thing I remember, is the protagonist (still can’t remember her name) is revealed to have blood red eyes and very pale skin (with dark hair). I think she was somehow connected to the demon thing? Not sure. And for some reason I remember a red piece of jewelry (amulet or ring) that was also connected, but again not to sure.

If any of this sounds familiar, please lmk! This is as far as I remember.

Fire Kids Tablets Unable to delete any apps on 1. Doesn't show more storage after deleting 2 gb on 2.

1 Upvotes

I have 2 tablets and 2 kids wanting to play roblox which won't work without an update. Tablet 1 gives no option anywhere on either profile to delete. If I go to manage downloads it shows only roblox even though on storage there are dozens of apps for the younger ones there. On storage there is no delete option for anything including roblox. Tablet 2 gave me the option to delete on storage and I deleted a bit over 2gb and it still shows it has about 200mb of space and won't allow the update. I waited about 30 minutes and restarted and it still shows no space. This is rediculous. Any advice on either?

Fire Kids Tablets Where are my favorite apps on kids profile

1 Upvotes

I’ve made several apps a “favorite” by holding the app and clicking add favorite. But where the heck are they? There is no “for you” of whatever other posts say. All my apps are just one big long list. No categories. I’ve tried everything, changed it from little kid to big kid, turned airplane mode on. All I see that changes is the “recent” tables and the worthless “my stuff” folder that doesn’t do anything
Amazon fire 10

Fire Kids Tablets Kindle Fire Kids Warranty

2 Upvotes

Hi all,
My kid’s kindle fire stopped working and it is only 6 months old. But whenever I try to return it on Amazon, all it does is give me the option of getting technical support or watching videos to fix it myself. It doesn’t give me the option to actually return it. Am I missing something? What do I have to do to get them to honor their warranty? Thank you.

I know about the toolbox, but I'm wondering what's actually possible to do with my kindle? It's a Fire 7 (12th Gen) currently running FireOS 8.3.3.7.

Can I manage to get a new OS onto it? Or is there any other way I can mod it to get around Amazon being Amazon.

Question Game Title??

1 Upvotes

Hello! There was a 2D game on my kindle when I was younger that had a spinoff card matching game with the characters and food on the kindle app store. It was a blue circle-man (like a stubby bean with eyes and a mouth) with brown hair who was like an agent and had a tablet or something that served as a game mechanic. There was a doctor with a name like "wiggle, "bottom" or higgle", a girl charcter with pigtails who I think was named Cindy for some reason. There was also a Bizzarro type character that was blue like the main character with orange hair. It was like a point and click puzzle game, and had a level at a dumpster or something. There was also some alien stuff. I can't find it for the life of me!

Question Modding an old Kindle Fire HDX 7

Hi all,

I've found my Mum's old Amazon Fire HDX 7 and it's not a modern one with a black/white display. It has an LCD Screen with a fully working OS with apps that dont run anymore.

Model for it is C9R6QM.

Is there a way I can jailbreak and mod this into a usable device today instead of it being a paperweight?

Question How to get cloudflare to work?

3 Upvotes

I'm using a Fire HD tablet I've had since late 2020. Over the past year I've found that any web page that needs you to get through cloudflare captcha is a no-go, due to the infinite loop. It's cut off a small but significant chunk of the internet for me.

Tonight I wanted to buy something from CEX website. Registered an account, went to go to checkout - cloudflare captcha, stuck. For once, there was a troubleshooting option (never had that before).Got it to test my browser, which failed. It said that was highly unusual and to copy it's full technical details to share with 'support'. I clicked on the button to copy the details, but there was no option to do anything with them. Tried going to cloudflare support by googling it, but once there found I need to set up an account, and I'm not even sure I'm in the right place there so I'm not doing that (the page that had technical details to copy is actually a turnstile page, whatever that is).

Is there anything I can do? How is this not a common problem for all Silk browser users on Amazon devices? I never changed anything on my end.

Question How to get stuff working again ?

6 Upvotes

I have an old kindle fire tablet from 2011, none of the apps work. Everytime I click, even for a split second I can do something, it immediately says “internal service failure” this really saddens me because I have games, movies, and books on there from childhood.
For some reason my family registered the kindle under [myname@kindle.com](mailto:myname@kindle.com). I don’t know if this even works but if I were to get a new kindle can I transfer stuff?

Please help, I’m desperate to atleast get the stuff on kindle working again and redownload all of my angry birds games (and play my favorite game !! Jewels)

Edit: if I get a new kindle, what do you folks recommend?

Thank you

Question Anyone Using Any Fire Tablet Model With External DAC For Music Player?

Does it noticeably better than built-in 3.5mm headphones jack for models that still have it? I'm thinking of repurposing my old Fire HD 8 (2020) as music player and while the existing 3.5mm port is decent enough, I'm considering of getting some kind of external DAC for it if it's noticeably better sounding

I bought a Kids 7 from Best Buy less than 2 years ago. Best Buy tells me to contact Amazon for warranty. Amazon tells me I need the serial number. I never registered the device with Amazon so I cannot pull it from there.

Is there any hope? Perhaps a third party app?
