[Q] Do I need to update TWRP? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Currently running TWRP 2.0 and was wondering if I need to update it before flashing Hashcode's CM10.1. Will I encounter any problems or has anybody else experimented with this yet?
Currently running unofficial AOKP 4.1.2 but want to try 4.2. I've never had a problem with TWRP 2.0 so I am about to just flash it but I thought I would ask first.

You don't need to switch. It will work fine, but if you want to take this chance to update, that is also fine.

I know for my Gnex I had to update TWRP to handle the whole sdcard/0 thing. Will this be a factor for my Kindle if I'm using an older version of TWRP?

Updating to CM10.1

Hi, I'm sort of new to this so I'm just wondering if I need to flash CM10.1 when I install it?
I'm currently running CM10 and installing the OTA nightly versions and those don't need to be flashed, or so I was told. They work fine.
So I decided to check for updates and there was 10.1 available, so I'm just wondering that if I got the OTA update and installed it, would I need to to anything else?
Thanks for the help
Yes, you need to have hboot version higher or equal to 1.28.
You also need to flash the boot.img and do a full wipe before flashing.
Flash new 4.2.2 gapps as well.

Hello, I recently flashed TWRP onto my V with the toolkit in the sticky thread, however I can no longer install system updates, it just boots into TWRP. Can anybody advise me on what to do next?
Kind Regards.

system updated only work woth stock recovery. i think you can flash the stock recovery, take the update, then go back with twrp
Thanks for your help, but I decided to flash over a custom ROM anyway, which is already updated to 4.0.4 and sense 4.1
You realize there are much better versions of Android beyond 4.0.4 available for the one V don't you? Cm 10.1 is currently at 4.2.2 and the latest fully working PACman rom (v19.3) is at 4.1.2, just to name a couple.

[Q] Stock or Rooted Kindle Fire 2 OS

Hi, I've rooted and installed TWRP on my 2nd gen Kindle Fire, but I've been having problems with CyanogenMod and I'd like to go back to rooted or stock Amazon OS. Does anyone know where I could find a stock ROM?
You have to restore from fast boot.
Stock ROM here:

But make sure you grab the latest adb since the one included may not work.

[Q] Updating Rooted Kindle Fire from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2

Hello, I've recently been trying to update my rotted Kindle Fire from Android 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. I have TWRP on my Kindle. I used the ROM from here, but when after I flash it on my Kindle it just boots into the factory version of 4.1.2. Any help or suggestions on how to install it correctly would be appreciated.

The ROM you linked to is for the Galaxy Nexus, not the Kindle Fire. ROMs for the two devices will likely have completely different assert scripts in the .zip files, and the install will likely be aborted. Did you happen to pay attention to any messages TWRP reported while attempting to install?

[Q] Want to downgrade from 4.2.2 back to 4.04 but the backup is not found

Using Bell SGS3 running Task AOKP latest 4.2.2 but want to downgrade back to 4.0.4 (stock). I do have a backup of my original 4.0.4 and can see it under clockwork rom manager but not under CWM (after reboot) Its only showing anything ive backed up since upgrading to 4.2.2. Forgot to add that i'm using the 32GB version of the phone, NOT the 16gb.
Reason being i wanted to unlock the phone and keep it rooted and stock. So i guess go to 4.1.1? Whats the best way to do this? thx
You can use Odin to flash back the Stock ROM. I'd recommend flashing the newest Stock ROM since it has the latest (not so recent) updates and security patches. Stock ROM Firmware Download Links HERE
Make sure you are running the latest CWM, as it's likely the file system structure that's causing the issue. My guess is your older backups are in the non 0 folder, while the new ones are in the 0 folder. You can move your older backups to the newer folder and that should fix it, or the easier way is to make sure you are running the latest CWM.
