How to Install Google Play on an Older Kindle Fire

If you own an older Amazon tablet or if the steps above don't work for you, then you must root your device before you can install Google Play. You need a Windows PC and a USB cable like the one included with your tablet to do this. Since Fire OS is a modified version of the Android OS, the steps for rooting a Fire tablet are basically the same as rooting an Android device.

Rooting your Fire tablet voids the warranty. Carefully consider the pros and cons of rooting your mobile device.

1. On your Kindle Fire, go to Settings > Device Options.

2. Tap the Serial Number field repeatedly until Developer Options appears directly below it.

3. Tap Developer Options.

4. Tap Enable ADB. In the pop-up screen, select Enable to activate Android Debug Bridge (ADB). You may get a security warning; ignore it to proceed.

   
   

5. Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer. Your PC should detect your device and download the drivers it needs.

   If your PC doesn't automatically detect your Kindle Fire, install the USB drivers and Android Debug Bridge manually by following the steps outlined in the Kindle Fire developers docs.

6. Tap OK to Allow USB debugging. If this option doesn't pop up automatically, you need to install the appropriate drivers manually before you can proceed.

   
   

7. Open your computer's browser and download the installer app for Google Play:

   • If your tablet runs Fire OS 5.3.0 or older, download Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-SuperTool-old.zip.
   • If your tablet runs Fire OS 5.3.1 or later, download Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip.

8. Extract the .zip file and double-click 1-Install-Play-Store.bat to open it.

9. Type 2 and press Enter to have the tool install the Google Play Store on your Kindle Fire. This process may take several minutes. You'll see a message in the window when it's done.

   
   

10. Reboot your tablet by turning it off and on. If successful, shortcuts to the Play Store and Google Settings should be on your home screen.
