I am really green at all this hacking stuff and read the forums as much and often as i can. I have a suggestion which may help i know it would me>
When all you hard working hackers and i and many others appreciate all your hard work put up a tut or a procedure it would be nice if there was a place in the corner that listed what devices it will work on ex. kindle fire 7" 7"hd or 8.9hd also which build of the rom it will work on ex. 8.4.1 or 8.4.8
I know they are in separate forums but still really confusing. Or even a chart showing the different root programs that would be updated as things progress. Just a suggestion from a new guy trying to learn from you smart hard working guys and girls.

i think the dev section has somethign similar to that, i fyou goto the sub-forum for your device, look for a "all things kindle fire hd(insertmodelhere)"
Not sure if it's kept up to date as i don't ever use it except for reference for links. The flashing process is always going to be the same, so theres not much need to say if it works with x.4.8, only difference is, is that whenever theres not a current freedomboot image it will bootloop into recovery, so you would need to know to either put the rom on ahead of tiem before you install 2nd bootloader and twrp or you would have to push it. Actually i think they should just add that to the tutorials at then end, just add a notice (if your version of amazon os is newer than current freedomboot, put rom on sdcard ahead of time)
that would be very useful.

I would love to see boot manager ported to the kindle fire as we have multiple ROMs that I can't decide which to stay on.. I have some knowledge with android in general and little development knowledge, but I don't have the slightest clue on where to start with boot manager.
Anyways, this would be awesome. And I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants it.
I think its kinda silly you want to port a Android app to a Android device
I am new to development also we can create it together
Boot Manager doesn't need to be 'ported', as much as the devs who own it (it is a paid app) need to add compatibility for the Kindle Fire.
I'm 'working' on it, as in I've given the devs some information they need (I don't think they have a Kindle Fire to work from) and bug them about it, but it is up to them to add compatibility.

I've done some beta testing for them in the past. Got a hold of him yesterday, provided some files, tested some beta versions.... as of right now its somewhat working. I have cm9 as my "phone rom" cm7 and miui installed to different slots and am able to reboot into each one via the app. There is some issues to be worked out tho. But official support shouldn't be too far away
Yep, I have been told that the next version should have official support!
Now all we need is USB host, or some way to solder in an SD Card... That internal space is looking mighty tight...
BTW, how is the performance on the SD ROMs? I'm thinking they should be pretty fast, since it is just one area, yes?
I tried to root my kindle fire but failed... Then i proceed to do a factory reset from the kindle fire, after reboot I stuck on kindle fire screen.
I have already installed Kindle Fire TWRP.
under my kindle utility it shows my boot status as unknown.
please help!!! Many thanks....
I just hope can reset to its original setting.
If you can boot into TWRP kfu will recognize it.. if not then you should mount it in TWRP...
hi fiddlefaddle, thanks for your reply...
i tried to boot into TWRP but were unable...
what u mean by mount it in TWRP...
sorry i am a noob... hope u can explain to me further..
many thanks
hi fiddlefaddle

thanks...
Not to be rude but try searching for your answers.. I picked up a KF last night for my fiancée it was rooted but restored to stock rom.. I tried getting it to allow prime videos and hosed it up big time. I I was getting fire logos loops all kinds of madness but I hopped on xda did some research now her kf is working with prime video and side installed apps and ADW Launcher as well as stock kf launcher..

hi prasket...
I am sorry if i sounded like i did not do any searching or research on resolving this issue..
In fact i have been searching on the webby for the whole day looking for the answers and found many.. but none were able to work for me... It may be due to my limited capabilities in understanding and therefore i am seeking for help in this forum...
I believe the purpose of this forum is to share and help out everyone in any way possible.... Its good that you have bought a KF for your finacee but i dun see any rationale in boasting here what you have achieved... not everyone is able to resolve everything just by doing some research like you.
I am just a sincere noob KF user who is looking for some help... Appreciate if i can have some constructive comments instead... thanks

My suggestion would be to take some time out to read over the first two posts in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
The first will help you get some basic understanding of how these pieces fit together. If you are using Windows, the second makes sure you have the device drivers installed correctly. Once you've done that, you'll want to set the bootmode on your device back to normal using KFU. Provided the Kindle Fire software is working correctly, you should be able to reboot and get it working normally again.

Firstly, you must realize that your kindle can NOT run any Android operating system right now other than the one from Amazon. I'm working on getting stuff together to fix that, but for now, just know that you can't fully get the OS you will want on it.
You can, however, make it LOOK like an android tablet. Some things will be off, and some things are more work to fix than others.
If you can post exactly what step goes wrong for you, I can try and help, but if you want an actually video I'll leave that up to someone else. I might want to make one once there is an official Root and Rom thing going on, but for now the way we root the kindle seems to change weekly until a solid method comes around.
As the title says, I'm pretty noob when it comes to rooting and custom roms. I have a Kindle Fire Gen 1 that just ins't cutting it for me anymore. I'd like to use it as the screen for my DJI Phantom, but the DJI app is only available for Android and iOS. So, I needed to root this device and I'd like to turn it into a typical Android tablet. I followed SD Shadows tutorials across multiple threads to get to to where I am now; Rooted w/ TWRP installed (openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img). The last step I got to was what he covers in his video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJwF26qlAyc
In that video he warns that if someone is going to install a custom ROM, they need to make sure it is compatible w/ the TWRP used. My problem is, when I go to browse the various custom ROM options here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859851), I don't see where they describe the TWRP required for compatibility. I'm just wanting a simple ROM that is clean and efficient that (preferably) has Google's Play Store already installed and will let me use this device with the DJI Vision App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dji.vision&hl=en).
Can anyone spare a moment to help me out? I don't want to install an incompatible ROM and get myself in a bad situation. I'll provide whatever info I can to anyone willing to help me out here. Just remember that I am a noob, so you may need to explain what you need in simple, easy to understand terms. =D
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can lend.
I just noticed the sticky above for Gen 1 Kindle Fire questions. I posted this there. Please feel free to remove this thread if you don't want it to clutter up the place. My apologies.
Would someone please help? I would like to install updated android version but everything I read seems to have links that are broken or otherwise not current. I thought I was smart but I guess I'm mistaken because everything I read is just confusing me because the guides seem to assume previous knowledge or seem fragmented. No disrespect. I am not technically challenge but I have ZERO experience with the tools/jargon etc.
I don't exactly need to be breast fed but I would be VERY VERY appreciative of some hand holding. Thank you.
I made a post yesterday with no response yet so I thought I would word this a little differently in the hopes that someone would assist.
