hi,
is there anyway to install Cyanogenmod on fire tablet 5th gen 5.1.1 as i've tried rooting it and using Flashfire to install the zip file and following the procedures online and once everything has been wiped and the cyanogenmod zip and Gapps zip are installed it stays stuck on the cyanogemod boot screen and just stays there. is there a way to fix this?
thanks

Likely not wiping partitions prior to flashing CM. Read/follow guidance in CM 12.1 thread...first post in particular.

Updated my kindle fire hd 7 tate from cm11 whovh was android 4.x. now its way dofferent and android 5.x and on boot it says google apps services error and needs updated.... this wasnt included in the cm11 update? Where do i get what i need? Thanks.
Try searching for the correct version of gapps for your rom on xda and downloading to your kindle go into TWRP/CWM recovery and flash the gapps zip file that you just downloaded without doing a factory wipe .
i have a 7 inch amazon fire tablet 2015 5th generation i installed the slimlp 5.1 android rom with flashfire and i also installed the google apps mini for it and it was working fine and then i rebooted it now its stuck at slims boot logo ty.
if it wont boot fully your only option is to return to stock and start again. just get the right amazon image 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 depending weather you upgraded after purchase. and sideload through stock recovery. (there are tutorials out there, just google it). it won't wipe data either so all your apps etc will still be there. then just root and use flash fire to flash slim and gapps again. just a thought, were you refering to the slim minigapps linked in op? or another?
Hi,
My sister is running the N2aos (CM10.1 N2aos) and I wanted to see if I could flash CM 12.1 on it. I'm assuming I could update TWRP, wipe the storage, then flash CM 12.1 + GAPPS? It seems that the N2aos did install TWRP 2.4.4, according to TWRP'S app. I don't see the tate model listed on TWRP'S site, but I do see otter model. Can I use the "Amazon Kindle Fire (1st Gen) (otter)" TWRP on the tate build? If so, can I use the TWRP app or Flashify app to update it? Then can I update a N2aos version of CM to CM 12.1? Thanks guys!
So I looked at the forms some, and i'm assuming that she already has the "2nd bootloader" if it has TWRP. I'm assuming the custom Tate version of TWRP is posted here (not TWRP site) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39872298#post39872298 . I'm guessing shes all set, can be updated, and doesn't have to worry about the 2nd bootloader and all. So I'm looking at downloading TWRP from that site, booting into current TWRP, and have it Flash the new TWRP from within TWRP. Then wipe and install CM 12.1 +GAPPS. Thoughts?

So I went ahead and downloaded the TWRP that was made for the Tate model, on the thread, and it successfully installed. Then I wiped it, installed CM 12.1 and gapps. And it all went smooth. So it seems that N2aos does everything the same. So if you have N2aos installed, you can change the ROM and update TWRP. If your scared to work on the bootloader or gain root access, you could use N2aos and update from there. I hope this helps others
I recently flashed slimrom on my kindle fire 5th gen 7in. It installed just fine except I have no root access and I cannot boot into recovery. When I try and boot into recovery it just stays stuck at the Amazon logo and I have to reboot it. I used flashfire and I even have a video of me flashing slimrom. I was on Nexus AOSP previously when I did it. Also when I flashed Nexus AOSP I was on fire os 5.1.2. Please help me and also would a factory cable allow me to reflash the stock recovery ?
A while back I tried to flash my Kindle Fire (5th gen), KFFOWI, with CM 12.1. As i recall it, it failed at first using flashfire and then on second attempt it was able to install CM 12.1. Now i am left with no recovery or gapps and it is just plain CM 12.1.
It does boot in to fastboot/bootloader but doesn't allow me to flash anything.
Any way i could either downgrade it to original stock recovery and ROM?

Without stock recovery your options are limited. If you have root on CM 12.1 you could attempt to install a different custom ROM (Lineage or Fire Nexus). However, if something goes wrong you'll be left with a non-functional device with little chance of recovery.
If you do not have root access you're stuck with CM. You could try a limited GAaps install as documented for unrooted FireOS.
