I recently purchased a kindle fire hd 7 version 7.3.1 which i am looking to install cm10.1 on. i have read through many threads and have download all the needed files to undertake this project. the only problem that i have encountered which proves to be very troublesome is loading my kindle into fastboot mode. can any one help me with this problem? thank you.
Why are u trying to get into fast boot mode? You should only need adb to back it up then use fire flash to put 2nd bootloader and twrp on it, then transfer over the cm 10.1 images for flashing from twrp. That's it in a nutshell. Fast boot it only for if you brick it in the process, which in most cases you will need a factory cable to get it into fast boot mode.
To be more specific about this read seokhuns awesome guide, but follow it to the tee or u may get a red screen on your bootloader to which you will need a factory cable to fix.

i did take the risk and try it and it did work twrp in successfully installed now im trying to install cm10.1 after i wipe the system, factory reset cache, Dalvik cache and proceed to installing cm10.1 it says failed.. can you help me? thanks
After u have the zip file on your sdcard I suggest using es file explorer to check the files properties and calculate its md5sum and compare it to the md5sum on the download link. If they match up then it should be working, if not it just didn't probably transfer or DL right.
U will probably need to flash a modded stock image of kindle os if you didn't back up your os first, so your kindle has an os to boot into. By modded stock image I mean that on the kindle android development forums there are a few modded stocks that come rooted without reflashing the stock boot loader and recovery plus have ota disabled. Makes things easier so you don't need to reflash the boot loader and twrp and reroot.

thanks kindle fire up and running cm10.1 and google appps .. i change my usb cable and re downloaded the files and then it worked
Many work with cm10.1 kfhd7 of Hashcode .
I installed 2nd bootloader on 7.3.1 but I forgot to disable auto-updates and I woke up to 7.4.3 and lost root and 2nd boot. I managed to root It again but i'm kinda scared to install the bootloader. I think I'm gonna wait until someone verifies and it's ok.
Kindle Fire HD 7". Rooted. Was running 7.4.7 Installed TWRP and 2nd bootloader and now am stuck in TWRP. Made back up first but says file is not recognized now (of course) Tried reboot, everything. Can't get out of TWRP. When booting, goes to orange kindle sreen, then blue, then orange, then loads TWRP. And this is where I'm stuck. Help appreciated - thanks. And please be nice - I'm a newb!
Follow this tutorial and it should have it working soon, the latest os won't boot with 2nd boot loader installed, unless you rip off kinology's freedom boot IMG.

Tried that - everytime I try to load the drivers it says the files are bad and it won't recognize my device
Are you on windows 8? Because if its saying something about the signature, you have to disable signature enforcement. If you give me an exact error I can be more helpful.

Yes, I am on windows 8. Error message:

You need to disable windows 8 driver signature enforcement, look it up on Google, once you have done that it should install just fine.

one more question - I'm running CM10.1 now - but what if want to get back to stock?
There's a stock ROM in the development section, just wipe the same things you wiped before flashing cm( factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and system), then flash the stock ROM.

You really should downgrade to 7.2.3 before attempting to flash TWRP and 2nd bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347170
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 (7.4.6) rooted and I want to know if there's a way that I can install the TWRP Recovery without flashing any rom at the moment and most important without bricking it. I want to have it installed in case that in a future I want to flash a rom. I think it's a must have tool on this device but I'm not quite sure if it's possible and I don't want to try how-to's that I've read in these forums because it's not what I'm looking for and I don't want to mess up the KF . Any help or advice on this will be very appreciated. :angel:
There is a way but you have to do 1 of 2 things outside of what the standard tutorial says. The newer is checks the boot loader for its version to see if it matches with the is version, if it mismatches it will cause a boot loop. So if you tried the default instructions, you would boot loop since you are on a 7.4.6 os, so you have 2 choices, downgrade the is first to the same as the freedom boot image in the tutorial, or download the latest kinology ROM which has a 7.4.6 freedom boot image inside it that for some reason isn't posted by itself last I check. If you download the kinology ROM you don't have to flash it to install that freedom boot image you can just extract it from the ROM and use it in place of the freedom boot the tutorial tells you to use. Take note of one last thing, make sure to check the box in fire flash at the top with red warning text under it about downgrading the boot loader or you will get stuck with a red screen and that requires a fastboot cable to fix. Anyways here's the tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
I suggest reading through it in its entirety to familiarize yourself. You also have a option for the lazier person, you can simply download the kinology ROM onto the device before flashing 2nd boot loader + twrp (because it will bootloop as I previously mentioned) and first make a backup of data and system, then flash the kinology ROM, then restore your backup you just made. In theory I think that will work.

Thanks for the response, I'm trying that... but before I do this... I want to make sure I'm on the right track. I copied three files on the main kindle directory (fireflash11.apk, kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img and kfhd7-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img). I've installed the Fire Flash and now... I'm seeing the interface to flash the boot partition and recovery partition, and the bootloader says the warning thing that the bootloader is not kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin. That last part is where I'm stuck in... I don't know if checking the box will mess up my kindle... so far, I know that I had to check the "apply stack override", "disable recovery auto update", then unplug cable and hit flash. I'm not sure if I'm still needing the kinology rom since I've downloaded the freedom boot from hashcode.

Wait, so if you were to install 7.4.6 freedomboot, it would bootloop? Why?

Because they were running 7.4.6 so the 7.4.6 bootloader is a match. The problem is that the exploit was patched at 7.3.0 so one really should downgrade to 7.2.3 first because sometimes clicking flash 7.2.3 bootloader while using FireFlash app does not work and you get a bootloop anyway. It's best to drag and drop a ROM onto the internal sd card before flashing. If you do bootloop, just go into TWRP and flash the ROM.

I'm new and a complete noob to this, I'm running 7.4.6, can someone please explain freedom boot and if it would be possible for me to get a custom Rom loaded on my tablet without downgrading to 7.2.3?
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium
Freedom boot if I understand correctly is a patch to the kernel used for second bootloader, I believe it also has version data stored in it that the kindle is checks on boot, if the kernel doesn't match the kindle os version it boot loops into recovery. So yes you can do all without downgrading the os, its just suggested you do because amazon patched the boot loader a while back and downgrading ensures you don't boot loop in case you have an older freedom boot image or you are on 7.4.7. Its probably also flashes the old boot loader too which helps. Never used kffa so not positive about that though.

I prefer the fire flash method but if you or the program mess up and don't flash the boot loader with the older version first, you will need a fastboot cable to fix it. I haven't ever had a problem with fire flash myself, as long as you check the first box with a bunch of red warning text under it you should be OK.

First, drag and drop what ever ROM you are going to use onto the root of the internal SD card (CM, Paranoid Android, which ever one). This is important. If you do loop, access TWRP and flash the ROM.
Make sure to put the images in the right place, tick "apply stack override" and also tick "disable recovery auto update" and also chaeck "7.2.3 bootloader."
Here is the original tutorial as well for your reference. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
Edit: when you do go to flash the ROM from TWRP you first "swipe" then flash the ROM and then wipe only Dalvic and CACHE.

Well... that was fast. I didn't need the Kinology ROM, but I downloaded and dragged it to the Kindle, just in case it boot loop and so have the rom as backup. Just needed the three fiiles. I'll place the instructions clearly just in case anyone wants to do this and worked perfectly for me.
Download:
fireflash11.apk,
kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img and
kfhd7-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img.
Copy or Drag & Drop the three files to Kindle Fire HD 7". Make sure to have ON the "allow installations of applications" options found in drop down window (More+ -> Device). Then install the fireflash11.apk, after installation, open the app, if you got the warning message, check the box on the right, then place the kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img in the "boot partition" section and tick "apply stack override", then the kfhd7-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img in the "recovery partition" section and tick "disable recovery auto update". Unplug your KFHD7 from the USB, then hit Flash, and that's it! :victory:
No ROM needed, but in case you want like to go in "safe mode" like I did, download the Kinology ROM found here.
Rooted my kindle and flashed a custom ROM. Let a friend borrow it and when I got it back i through it in a closet. Recently moved and found my kindle, charged it, and nothing. I can boot into TWRP but that's about it. I've tried to flash new ROM and get an error message saying "error installing from zip". I've downloaded multiple ROMS multiple times and still no go. Is the kindle done for or am I doing something wrong?
Well your version of twrp is kinda outdated(at least according to the thread title, latest is 2.7), I would first try flashing the latest twrp update hashcode just posted, just download the zip, push it to the device with adb, and flash it and reboot into recovery again. Then try a cm 11 flash. What is did it have on it before all this happened?

Ok, basing it off that it was either amazon os or a cm 10.1 based os. Only reason i ask is because if you tried to install cm 11, and maybe cm 10.2 onto the device at this point it would probably fail with that version of twrp because of lack of selinux support, so i would say go grab latest twrp zip(2.7) for your device, and flash it in recovery, reboot into recovery again, and flash cm 11. Probably should do a factory reset while your at it. I don't think internal storage will need wiping as i doubt it has any selinux xattrib's on it since its more than likely pre-cm10.2ish.
Firstly, thanks to SafinWasi and Red_81 who both helped me on other threads, this question follows on from those threads.
I'm trying to downgrade from 7.4.9 user 4952320. Eventually, I will probably install CM11 (I tried once and bricked my device), but for now I just want to downgrade the OS and be able to change the wallpaper, I'm sick of the black paper. (I've tried Stunts wallpaper fix and it didn't work)
When the device upgraded to 7.4.9 I made backups of the whole 12 img files (inc boot0block).
I've read that you need a 7.2.3 boot image to be able to install TWRP as part of the CM11. I obtained a rooted 7.2.3 boot image from Red_81s google drive. I then flashed that boot image and tried rebooting the device. No joy. I got the red triangle. I flashed my 7.4.9 boot image and rebooted. The device rebooted and worked as normal.
I then flashed the 7.2.3 rooted system image and rebooted. Again I got the red triangle. I then flashed the 7.2.3 boot image, (so the device had 7.2.3 system and boot images) but again I got the red triangle.
So, how do you downgrade? Should I have flashed all 3 of the 7.2.3 images? (I don't have the checksums of the images so I recognise if one of the images was corrupted the exercise was doomed to failure.)
By flashing my 7.4.9 system and boot images, my device was restored to functionality, and I learned a bit, but not enough to achieve the goal. I'm hoping someone can show me how to downgrade.
Thought I'd add that I did try Kindle Fire First Aide but got lots of errors about dropbox not being available.
Did you flash the system and recovery? Both are needed to successfully downgrade. I always wipe data too.

You need to flash a custom recovery on a second bootloader as well. You can't just flash the system. You also need to flash the 7.2.3 boot.img and stack override.

I didn't flash recovery, at my first attempt, just boot, then I tried boot & system. Both tries gave the red triangle.
I've tried again, with all 3 rooted images from your gdrive - recovery, boot & system, and again got the red triangle. I tried again with the 3 images from another source (my own unrooted 7.2.3 backup when I first got the HD7) and again, got the red triangle.
I haven't wiped the data because I would prefer to keep it so I can use the device (and think it should be possible to downgrade without wiping). I haven't been able to find a command to wipe just the cache...
So I'm more than a bit puzzled. The fastboot commands (eg fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img) all return with "sending" then "OKAY", then "writing", then "OKAY" so I don't think there's any problem there.
I must be doing something wrong or missing something.

Thanks for your response, but at this stage I don't want to flash a new custom ROM, that may (probably will) come later, but at this stage I want to just downgrade. I've been warned that installing TWRP etc may leave the stock system in a bootloop, so a working stock backup won't be possible.
As I have to downgrade the stock boot image anyway in order to install a custom ROM, I thought I'd downgrade the whole OS in order to have a functioning stock system, then I can make a backup of it in TWRP, then install a custom ROM.
If I'm having problems with a simple downgrade, I might have more severe problems flashing a new ROM and be left with a dead device like I was previously, hence my caution and not wanting to move on until I know I can recover to the previous step if things go wrong.
Did you try downloading the original 7.2.3 from the thread and try flashing them ?

Yes, I did. Tried them twice, in a different order (didn't think it would make a difference but you never know....). Anyway, tried again, this time, wiped data and cache (took 45 mins) and it worked! I now have 7.2.3 and access to Gplay (was already there).
I haven't registered it to my Amazon account yet, so email and contacts don't work, and am wondering if I should go straight to installing a custom ROM. I'm thinking if it isn't registered to Amazon, then they can't update it via OTA...... or can they?
It's been a bit of a task getting this far, but at least I'm more confident about getting into ADB and Fastboot!

well, I know the answer, yes, even though it hasn't logged into an Amazon account (I realise they pre-register them to your account before dispatch), it updated back to 7.4.9 just as I finished the above post and whilst I was thinking I should disable OTA updates using KFFA!
flip. This is turning into hard work. lol, still I know how to do it now.
I was having many issues after the last OTA and got mine to cm-11-20140609-SNAPSHOT-M7 last night. Mine was at 7.4.9 also. I followed rootjunky youtube videos to get mine re-rooted, flashed and working. After getting it rooted, he uses Fire Flash app to put twrp on the Kindle. I deviated a little and put the twrp 2.7.0.0 version other than that, I followed to a T. Once I got all that done, I went on the internet to Hashcode's repository and downloaded the newest cm-11 UNOFFICIAL he had listed directly to the device. I downloaded the latest Gapps from cyanogenmod and then booted into recovery(twrp) and installed. Everything is working beautifully now. Everything seems faster and smoother so far. I did go ahead and do an update from the about area in the settings to cm-11-20140609-SNAPSHOT-M7. I was also able to get all my books that I had purchased through kindle in the kindle reader.

Nice to know. Think I'll be doing something very similar, now I've made backups of 7.4.9 "just in case". Just have to go through all the above again!
