I just read the warning about fff....why in the hell wouldnt the dev put that in their own thread -_-
1) It's in the original Kindle Fire forum, not the Kindle Fire HD forum.
2) It's not the developer's responsibility to make sure you know what you're doing before you do it.

Hey guys got my Kindle Fire (Second Edition) today and I'm desperately trying to root it. I followed several instructions on the forums, Youtube, etc. but it wont work. I'm using a mac and tried to use this guide on the forums but it also wont work.
So now I'm asking myself if its even possible to root the KF with software version 10.2.1 on it? Did anyone manage to do so, preferably using a mac?

Sorry accidently posted in the wrong forum please delete or move to Kindle Fire 2

Yes you can

Yes you can
But remember the new fire, which you most likely have, is more similar - os wise - to the kindle HD than to the original kindle fire which the guide you refer to was written for ... look up the instructions for the HD fires and you'll likely have more success.
I've been living (mostly) happily with my Kindle Fire HD 7" running BAM rom (the best rom ever) for a couple months now. I decided to upgrade to android 4.4. I went into TWRP to install the new rom, but it wouldn't install, so I decided to flash one of my recoveries I had made in october and it flashed it fine, but when it boots up now it won't even get to the blue Kindle Fire anymore, it's just a boot loop BEFORE it.
When I first did this I had basically no clue what I was doing so I didn't make sure that fastboot was working and it doesn't seem to be working now.
Please HELP!!!!

I had this happen to me recently. It's easy to fix, with the right tools. You need a Fastboot/factory cable (whatever you want to call it) that has a short from pin 1 to 4, and Kindle Fire First Aide (In the KFHD 7" General forum).

Thanks, was hoping not to have to buy a factory cable, but now see it's necessary.

You don't necissarily have to buy one--I built one myself (with a little help from my dad). All you need is a spare Micro-USB cable, a soldering iron, a small strand of wire, and a bit of battery power left on your Kindle. If you want to make the job a little bit easier, you can also get a Micro-USB breakout board from SparkFun.com. They're so much easier to solder to than a plain Micro-USB end.
Tutorial I used: http://chimerasaur.us/2012/01/making-a-kindle-fire-factory-cable/
For the breakout board: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10031
hey, was able to use a single wire to temporarily turn my normal usb to a fastboot usb:cyclops:, but now what do I do?
Don't know what's happening!!
I flashed a new system, boot, and recovery, but it still will boot up into boot loop. WHAT DO I DO (I do know how to do fastboot using -i 0x1949 so I know that's not my problem I'm thinking bootloader, but am not sure)
tried flashing bootloader...
Didn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a little irritated. downloading a program(forgot it's name) that's supposed to be able to flash the proper files to recover a fully bricked device, so I'm hopeful:fingers-crossed:

No such tool exists for the KFHD. What ever you're about to use is gonna hard brick your tablet. Use the system restore tool for Kindle Fire 7 and run the bat tool or push the images. Read the tutorial to get some background knowledge on this.

Already done
Ends up fixing it, bricking it again and fixing it again and am sending this from cm11 on my kindle fire

So what was the name of the program you used?
What was suggested earlier
After posting some of my previous posts, I realized I somehow had kffirstaid and used the restore option (but I personally like to manually do the fastboot commands, so I used it mainly to download the files and do it the first time) then redid the steps in this forum to get it to reinstall twrp and then flashed cm11.

Can't post a link, but there is a specific Kindle HD forum that should be able to help you. You will brick your device if you use the info found on this forum.

thanks i found out a way to flashboot my kindle fire hd 7 for different commands reboot,flash img etc. But i can't seem to find out a way to fix it! i was wondering if there is even any way to do it!
Sorry, but I only know enough to be dangerous. What I do know for certain, is that if you type "Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD" in the "Type To Find Your Device" box above, you will be directed to the correct forum and more likely to find folks that will be able to help you. This is the first gen Kindle forum, and using any of the solutions found on this forum will probably brick your device.

Well, I couldn't leave well enough alone when I had a great running KF HD 7" using CM 11. Tried to install f2fs and royally screwed it up. What I now have is a Kindle that just continually flashes the orange Kindle Fire boot up screen with no access to bootloader or recovery. I think I know the answer to the question already but is there any hope for this device?
Thanks for any help.

Yes,there is. Use a fastboot cable and the Kindle Fire First Aid to go completely stock.

It's been ordered and on its way. Hopefully this will be the solution needed.
I need some assistance with unbricking my kindle fire HD I had rooted it and tried to install a custom rom using FIRE FIRE and it bricked my device as it was the incorrect bootloader. I have a factory cable, but I do not know the commands to push the kindle fire stock OS to the device or how to unbrick it with root.
It can either boot to fastbootmode or has a Red Screen.
I have tired KFFIRSTAIDE, but can not get it to operational status.

Any help is appreciated.

it will take you to several threads, you will have to pick your way through the threads to find the method for your particular KFHD7, there are different models and stock OS' s find your device and OS and follow the directions you find, you may have to piece together things from different threads to find everything you need but if you are diligent and do your reseach you will find all your info, instructions, links for needed files and answers and fixes for any issues you may encounter just read everything and piece it all together piece by piece according to what you find from start to finish and walk through the process step by step without actually doing it until you have what you need and understand what you are doing so you don't skip a step or forget anything when you actually do it, read pay attention and be careful, good luck, here is the link, start your search there:
