I have noticed that sometimes I
cannot watch my Amazon Prime videos on a rooted kindle fire. I then noticed
that with two apps, I could watch these movies, sometimes, but then sometimes
it just wouldn't work, so here I will detail the two apps you will need and the
exact steps to easily without Amazon Prime Videos on your Kindle Fire.
You will need to grab the following
file from google play or search the web for the apk file. The program is
called:
Voodoo OTA RootKeeper
You also have another program called
Superuser which was installed when you rooted.
Now, go to your Amazon Video and try
to watch one of the prime videos. You will notice your "Watch now"
button is greyed out and you cannot click it to watch your Amazon prime videos.
Now first thing you will need to do
is tap on the little gear in the upper left hand corner. Once you tap that, a
menu will come up. Select More.
Once you tap on More, you will be at
the settings screen.
Now tap Applications. By default it
shows you your running applications, which is exactly what we want. Now tap on
Amazon Video. Once that comes up, tap on Clear Data under the storage section.
Now once you have done that go back
to your home screen and launch the Voodoo OTA Root Keeper. There you will want
to click on Protect root, once you tap that tap on Temp Unroot "Keeps
Backup"
Now go back to your home screen and
launch the Amazon Videos.
You will now see you can watch your
Prime or purchased videos without any issue. Now, here is the thing you can
watch all you want. You may even go back and restore root in Voodoo OTA Root
Keeper. Then continue watching your videos.
Everything will be fine, unless you
stop the Amazon Video application, or reboot your Kindle Fire. If you do this,
just go back into Voodoo OTA Root Keeper and temp unroot again, but make sure
to follow these steps again, as you must kill the amazon video application
before you remove root, as it does a root check on launch.
Enjoy..,.
