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! !

I have done an Idiots Guide for other devices, and now its time for one on the Google Nexus 7 Tablet. I tried to make this guide as thorough as possible, including driver installation, so hopefully this will be as successful for you as it was for me.

You do need to obtain Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit from here:

Today, after watching your video, tried to download your unlock programe for Nexus 7, however, after download began, I found I had downloaded tons rubbish, toolbars, shopping progs., and other unwanted rubbish.
It took me 20 minutes to find and remove all this junk, would be better if you put these files some where we can eaisly downlaod them, by the way, there is not the original prog., you mention .......... so I gave up.
thanks for the post.

Yes. My next video will demonstrate how to use an app to mount a usb drive. The app requires root, so this guide is necessary as a first step.

hey OP, i followed your video last night and after a few unplugs, task kills, etc. finally rooted my device.
i also followed your step to not flash CWM when rooting, but realize I might want to do that now. is it just as simple as plugging in the device again, then changing the option to CWM and clicking Root in wugs tool?
TIA.

That is a fantastic question. I will attempt to do this and get back to you with a response.
I have always rooted my phones after their warranty period has expired. I was waiting to do this with my N7 also but I see the toolkit had the option to return to stock and relock the device so I assume there is no warranty issue. Also rooting has come a long way and gotten much simpler than 1 to 2 years ago when I was rooting my G1, think will be rooting my N7 this weekend

You would have to be in the bootloader to flash that. Tell me what the name of the file is and I will tell you how to flash it via fastboot.

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.

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.

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.
