Sorry for such a noob question, but I'm wondering if I should be worried of bricking my KF2 running CM 10.1? It's just that this build is not yet that stable and I don't have a factory cable if ever I mess up during my tinkering.

The build is stable... it's just not complete, and it's not going to brick itself out of the blue, just if you screw up, don't blame us.

1. Get a cable (mines on the way)
2. Read EVERYTHING in the dev section... trust me. Especially fmkilo's posts.

Yep. Have been very careful since getting my KF2 (my 1st android device). Successfully rooted, prevented Amazon updates, and now transformed to CM without a hitch. I 'm just a little worried because I'm in a remote work place (in the middle of the sea literally), and it's impossible to acquire a fb cable (and pretty much anything). I have been reading people getting their KF's bricked when moving FROM stock OS. But now I'm on CM I guess I can breath a little easier.
I've been following pp45's custom ROMS. I don't have to worry getting into a boot loop while updating ROMS, or do I?

Flashing ROM's is one of the Main causes of bootloops. I would suggest waiting for a couple of days after the ROM has been released to see what issues there are before you try.

If your looking at this thread THANK YOU.
So I am by no means dev, i just have had a lot of android devices and have experienced flashing addiction like the rest of us on here. But my question is, is it possible to load a new recovery with the locked bootloader. If this is a newb type question, sorry but I've never really known. And bundled into this question, my photon has had the ability to use stock based roms without unlocking the bootloader. I know that the photon is a tegra 2 device, but does omap work the same way? I o appreciate any answers.

anything not signed by amazon will give the device problems. So no at the moment.
I'm wondering if, after the new update, anyone's had a bricked device? I unrooted before since I was afraid of that, but if no one got problems so far, its safe to root once again... Besides would love to know of someone was able to avoid the update somehow. It has officially been releases a while ago (you can look into amazon's update software page)

Nope, my device was rooted when I got the ota, but I did not get bricked. I just re rooted with the qemu tool.
did u have gplay installed?
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium
Yes, and I can still install just fine from it.
One las question, did ypu have a custom launcher and no problem?? If so, Im ready to stay rooted
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium
No problems with custom launchers but the update does remove them. So you have to reinstall after the update

Not correct, I still have Nova Launcher as default after update.
Personally, anything I had placed in system was removed for me. This included Nova launcher, Swype, and the Vending.apk for gplay. I just rerooted and put them all back, and everything else I had as retained.

I just got mine, and once it was booted up, it clearly did an auto upgrade to 7.2.1. I got the QEMU root tool but the Kindle is never recognized when I plug it into the computer.
Any ideas why that's happening?

yeah im in the same situation, ive tried them all and no problems, just unsure if theyre actually working as intended
Same as me, all installed OK on CM, but don't know if they did anything. I did notice if you go to PA, don't try install them. It just says installing until you reset the device.
I'm in the same boat. I think its helping.

Did your kindle go into fast boot when using the fat boot cable?
Of it did you should be able to fix it using the first aid thread and proper drivers.

No ,it didn't do nothing. Just like the regular cable. "Waiting for device" and nothing. I dont even know is it has any power left in the battery.
OK I have 3 questions:
1. Does the kindle display fastboot in yellowish letters on the screen when you plug the fastboot cable into the kindle from the PC?
2. If it does, did you switch to a normal cable after it displays that?
3. What fastboot command are you running in command prompt?

First of all thanks a lot for replay-ing to my post really apreciate,but i dont get any respond with the fastboot cable,the kindle"s display remains black all of the time.i just recieve the specific sound(from windows) that a device is conected,i"ve tried looking for the conection im device manager but it"s not to be found
Let me explain what and when the kindle stop working
I"ve instaled adb drivers,sdk java,sdk android with the google drivers,conect the kindle to usb cable and enable adb from menu,the rooting proces start to begin,i"ve managet to root my kindle,superuser appear in my kindle and all of that,but now the tutorial i"ve watch said that if i want to get rid off kindle android and get my self the original android i"ve have to folow cuple of more steps. And at the next reboot the kindle stops powering on.
Thank you again for your help.
What did you use to root it? Actually that might not be the right question because I'm still a little confused, did this happen after rooting it and rebooting, or after you tried to install 2nd boot loader+twrp. If what you originally were trying to say was you flashed the 8.9” bootloader to a 7" model, then it is hard bricked.

I"ve used kindle fire hd 8.9 root insead of 7"
And if is it hard brick is there any chance to unbrick it in the future?or the kindle is dead for good?
They both use the same method to root... If that's all you did I doubt its hard bricked. And hard bricks may be recoverable in the near future thanks to kurohyou.

At this point it doesn't really matter.
OP, if all you get is a black screen, then your device is hard bricked. It can be fixed, but it won't be easy...

This is true for OP. My quote was to a new poster who came in at end. OP most likely hard bricked, agree.

Ugh, I hate it when they do that.
Hi, My brother has a rooted kindle (Which I rooted for him, he doesn't know much about root, but he wanted the play store). His kindle was starting to get laggy, and random touch input, Im thinking it's happening because it's just slow. I'm not sure what app is causing this, but just to point out.. So he wanted to format. I'm not sure if it will brick his kindle since it's rooted. But I did see a forum page about someone's phone on a black screen because it was rooted and he formatted it. So should I unroot it then format? Am I missing something?
You do not want to format your kindle. Instead install a new rom such as kinology. Follow all instructions.

Thanks for the reply, but the kindle's bootloader isn't unlocked. Is there a workaround or anything from flashing a rom?
