[Q] Risks?

Hello!
I just rooted my Kindle Fire HD and it is running 7.4.6 with the google apps. What is the risk of bricking if I go through with the tutorial of installing the second boot loader and TWRP?

It depends. As long as you read the directions to the letter, and re-read them to make sure you know what you're doing, it'll be fine. I've done this twice now, with no bricks. I've only needed a fastboot cable once in the year I've owned my Kindle, and it was to fix a product of my own stupidity. So just follow the directions, and everything will be okay

I'll try it, probably.

This is the guide I use to install TWRP. It makes use of an app called "FireFlash.apk."

You want to downgrade to 7.2.3 first to reduce the chance of a soft brick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

Why should I not use the fire flash method?

Then you got lucky. That's why all these bootloops. 7.3.0 Amazon patched the exploit. In every thread about 2nd bootloader it mentions downgrading first.

You can use fire flash method all you want but if you don't downgrade your boot loader first you risk bootlooping.

Wait.... now I am confused. FireFlash provides a built in button to downgrade the bootloader. Do I need to downgrade fully to 7.2.3 or just the bootloader?

Just the bootloader. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Just the boot loader, however it will boot loop if you don't downgrade the os, sostick the ROM on before hand to avoid having to push it onto the device later on if you aren't downgrading the os as well.

The bootloader must match the stock Amazon firmware to flash properly and the bootloader needs to be 7.3.0 or 7.23 for the exploit to work. I can't even imagine trying to work out the exploit on the new HDX's

Okay, I'm downgrading to 7.2.3. Is there a guide on that? Also, will the kindle brick when I install 7.2.3 and the bootloader is 7.4.6?

One other thing I'd recommend doing, is buy a factory cable should anything go wrong. It has saved me from quite a few scary moments

You should get a fastboot cord first. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347170 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
I would use the first link. All 3 links are good though. Read number two links before modding though.

[Q] What to install first? FFF or TWRP? (Kindle Fire HD 2nd edition, 2013 version)

This tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452
says: Install TWRP and then install FFF using TWRP.
The TWRP website says:
teamw.
in/project/twrp2/79
(with less then 10 posts i can not add urls, so please combine the above lines to get the full URL)
install FFF first before installing TWRP ("You must install the Fire Fire Fire utility before installing TWRP 2.2.0")
What is wrong?
Or does the TWRP sentence only apply for 2.2.0 and not for the most up-to-date version (2.7.0.1)?

the fire fire fire utility is for the original kindle fire not 2nd edition

What bootloader should i use for the 2nd edition (2013) instead of FFF 1.5?

Oh, seams like i missed that FFF 1.5 is not for 2nd edition (2013).
Hm, when FFF is only for Kindle Fire HD 1st edition (2012).

No worries, just don't use the wrong firmware, you could brick your device.

Tate = 2012
Soho = 2013
So, my Kindle is a 2013 version = Soho
My kindle is the one without a camera, most IT articles call it "2nd edition" or "2013 version".
As i read some posts in this forum i get the impression that there is a 1st (original), 2nd (tate) and a 3rd (soho) edition. What is right?

os version is 11.3.2.1 (stock, but rooted)

OK so it is a 2013 kfhd, so this device has no custom ROMs or ability to have a second bootloader installed, you only can have stock rooted.

It lead to the topic. Unfortunately, from what I hear, Gran PC does not have one for 11.3.2.2 yet. Maybe leave a message in his thread and see what he says. He's a dev for the 2013 KFHD7.

Build quality is good. And yes, compared to other phones it's somewhat thick. But still easy to handle. Then again: it's a cheap phone!

The reason I'm going to the 2nd gen is because the 3rd gen isn't available in my country.
And it has front-firing speakers!

Does CyanogenMod for the Moto G (2014) support Dual-SIM functionality?
Also, is there a stock firmware available online for the XT068 (Dual-SIM) in case I wanted to go back to the original ROM?

Both questions: yes! But if you're new to this: read all the instructions and warnings here on XDA carefully!

Nah. I'm not new to this. I've installed CM and flashed ROMs on my previous Android smartphones.

No

Unlocking the bootloader is a higher priority.

I was thinking more on the official end if we get official marshmallow and is there a chance that they will unlock the bootloader in a future update?
