[Q] Unknown Sources

Is there any way to allow installing from an unknown source without rooting? I'm guessing not, but I thought I would ask just in case.

There is now for the HD+. Go to my CWM thread in the development forum and make a bootable CWM and flash the unknown sources/manual OTA zip. You do not need root.

I should have clarified that I'm on the HD. So, not yet for me I guess.

You can do this for the HD as well now. Go to the Nook HD/HD+ CWM Root Tools thread link in LeapinLars signature above.

[Q] Pure un-rooted stock system image

Anybody have or know where I can get a pure stock KF HD 7 stock image that I can flash through fastboot. Just want something to be able to go back to pure unmodified stock. Thanks.

I have previously seen your post. But I was a bit confused since you post a 7.2.3 boot file. Isn't that different than a system image file. I'm not a total noob but still trying to figure things out on KF. If infact that is the full OS then I assume after flashing it will give me OTA to 7.3.1 again. Thanks for your help.

No, that file is the 7.2.3 OS itself. Or just go to the system restore tool thread.

If you get a factory cable and follow the instructions in Hashcode's 2nd bootloader thread, verbatim, you will not have any problems whatsoever. I have several friends and family members with KFHD7s that have asked me to "work my magic", and in every instance, I have always used that thread as a reference and I have never run to any problems as a result.
Thank you! By factory cable you mean one of those fast boot cables right? And just to make sure you mean this thread right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

Yes, and yes. Good luck.
Do not forget: put a custom ROM on your SD Card before you go through with flashing TWRP, you cannot boot into stock ROM, you will loop into TWRP. Be ready to flash a custom ROM when you get into TWRP.

I've used this thread here twice and it's worked both times. I never had to downgrade and didn't need a fastboot cable.

Drop it right on the root of your internal storage. Just the same as an mp3 or picture, drag and drop.

Technically, you can drop it where you want outside of the system folder. Dropping it into the storage as a whole (not a folder) makes it easier to find. To find the rom, you'll just scroll strait down to it while in TWRP.
Got it done guys works and looks great ! Thank you for all your help! !

[Q] TWRP and Baseband

2.7.0 ----> 2.7.1
Edit:

or battery saving?

You can flash the new version also via TWRP then you have to restart your recovery after update

Basebands here. The performance is not affected (I think), but the battery yes. In my case I use XANA2 instead ANC2 (newest one for I8190).

Kindle Fire HD 7" D025A Version - Return to Stock

Hey guys. I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 D025A (1st gen I think? 2012 release) that was rooted a long time ago and had the Cyanogen os put on it. Its become very unstable (reboots a lot, launchers crash, etc) and I would like to restore it back to the way it came from Amazon. The unfortunate part is, I am a total newb at this, and I wasnt the one who rooted it originally so I have no idea how it was done. Can anyone give me a step by step guide on the correct way to restore back to the original? Been trolling websites all morning, but with as many different releases of kindle as there are out in the world, I want to make sure its done right.
Thanks in advance.

Umm ok, thats more confusing than anything Ive ever read in my life. What is fastboot? I installed the android sdk thing it called for, but fastboot nor adb is an executable. I am a complete and total NEWB. Have never done anything like this before.

Bleh, that was annoying. So finally got the stock zip to work. Had to wipe twice in order for it to boot into something not TWRP. Thank you very much btw and sorry if I seemed a little short. Im a computer guy by trade for over 20 years, but this programming and hacking stuff has never been my cup of tea. Finally into the basic default setup pattern now.
Ok, so now that Ive been shown and taught how to return this Kindle to stock, can you show me a list of all the custom OS's I can put on it? I know Lineage doesnt support it, and I know Cyanogenmode has a version 14, but I want something that will continue getting updates.
