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.
I'm on version 7.4.6 and I flashed the 7.2.3 bootloader, followed by the Freedom Boot 7.4.3 and TWRP 2.6.0.0 - Followed instructions to the T in HashCode's how-to thread. I ended up in a constant reboot to TWRP. I restored back to the images I made in fastboot without a hitch, and now I'm left wondering what could have happened. Any ideas? I did apply the override stack and all of those other things mentioned beforehand.
Well I think I read something about the latest os detecting twrp and not wanting to let you boot I to it but I am not positive if that's what happened.

For some reason, it appears that the device disagrees to boot onto the stock ROM after you flash a custom recovery (As you said above). My solution was simply to flash a ROM
I'm left feeling kind of dumb for posting this thread haha
I'm starting to wonder if they are must wanting us to brick our kindles at this point, I mean having twrp doesn't mean that we are definitely going to flash a custom ROM, it could mean we want to have insurance against a brick by making a backup, don't know why they see the need to not boot up if we have twrp.

I believe the existence of Kinology should pretty much disprove this theory.
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:
Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it
Android ADB Interface
The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering.
thanks
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
Sup everyone?
I was a dumb---- and was playing around with my Kindle (tate) and PhilZ's Advanced CWM while trying to do a bit of ROMing. Long story short, I rebooted, saw the orange logo...and saw the orange boot logo again, meaning I can't access the recovery. My question is, however, can I just push a recovery image via fastboot and then boot the device from there? Or do I need all three images for a successful boot?

I would push all three and make sure. You're definitely missing an OS so if it were me, I'd flash all three and make a clean start.

I have the exact same issue. Have PhilZ's Advanced CWM installed with CM11 latest official Nightly and latest gapps. Also had Linaro's Kernel and was trying to flash the Double Tap to wake feature in recovery but, it broke touch so went back into recovery, wiped everything and formatted everything then restored from backup and now, am stuck at the orange logo. Just keeps looping, cannot enter recovery or anything. I don't have the fastboot adapter but, i suppose I'll have to order one. Please, tell me how to fix this!
@BookCase Exact same issue here. I think fastboot will work. Is something wrong with the recovery image?

I'm thinking when I wiped either I wiped more than I should have or the recovery didn't properly backup my system in the 1st place since I didn't have a problem until I wiped and restored from backup. I honestly have no idea, though. I can't get it to boot past the orange logo.

The only way to get into fastboot, in your case is a fastboot cord or adaptor.
Edit: Same for the others having this same issue. You will need factory images to flash in fastboot.

Normally,I get into fastboot by entering "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and then plugging in my Kindle when it's turned off. Will this work here?

Nope, you can only do that from within the OS. Once you bootloop you need a fastboot cord.

Reload the same version of FireOS that was installed prior to CM. See below. Links to prior FireOS builds can be found in the forum index.
