[Q] Do I need to update TWRP?

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?

[Q] Returning to stock

I have a need to have my Kindle Fire 2 returned to stock. I used the -Bin4ry's Root
-QemuRoot method to get root and have TWRP installed. I am running the latest CM 10 4.2.2 ROM from Hashcode. I didn't see a thread already talking about this. Might have missed it. Could I get some help with accomplishing this? Thanks!:good:

Reread the CM10.1 thread...last section of 1st post describes how to revert back to stock

[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] Update Kindle Fire 8.9 and Maintain Root

Hi guys!
I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9. I rooted it a while ago using KFFirstAide and bricked it for a while but eventually got it up and running and rooted. An OTA update reset it back to stock. I was able to re-root and disable OTA updates.
Now I see there's a new version of the Fire system - 8.4.6 (I am still on 8.3.0). Is there a way to update to the latest version and retain everything as set, or will I need to just install the update then re-root with KFFirstAide or similar?
Thanks!

You can use KFFA to stop OTA updates. Otherwise when the update happens it will break your root and you will need to reroot your tablet again.

Sgh-i467... anyone try flash fire on 4.2?

I previously updated my note 8 via ota and have stock 4.4.2 so I do not have root access.
I'm wondering if anyone on stock rooted 4.2 has tried using flash fire by @Chainfire on their device... If so, does it work?
If it works... I'm wondering is it possible that flash fire would be able to flash the ota file for 4.4.2 and keep root by using the built in ever root function of flash fire?
Still would like to have a rooted device again...
