It's pretty easy but you have to make sure you get the right part. As @asf58967 can attest, the one difference between the hardware configurations of the KF1 and KF2 is the little connector on the digitizer.

Not true
I put a 1st GEN digitizer onto a 2nd GEN device.
Same connector and same screen

There is a nice guide on iFixit

Did you run into any issues with this? Think I may have accidentally put a kf1 digitizer on my kf2. It's working in recovery but stuck in boot loop on all roms I try...also he ribbon cable was too short to seat right...

I think you just have to factory reset in TWRP.

I tried all sorts of wipes, some roms that had previously worked, even restoring my old original KF backup. No luck.

[Q] Demo mode Kindle Fire, trying to restore to original

Hi,
I recently acquired a Kindle Fire that was previously used as a Demo unit in a store, I'd like to get it out of Demo mode but having tried since Sunday (and following several threads on here with similar problems) with no success I thought I'd see if I can get any help.
This is my first Kindle, so I'm new to that, but I've owned several Android devices in the past, so I'd consider myself fairly familiar with ADB, Fastboot, etc.
Since I can't get into the settings on the Demo unit I haven't been able to enable USB Debugging, to cut a long story short after playing around all day Sunday trying to get KFU to communicate with the device I gave up and ordered a Factory USB Cable to get it into Fastboot mode.
That arrived This morning and the Kindle is now in Fastboot mode, but I'm not sure what to do next, the PC (Windows 8 64bit, but I've also tried on Vista 32bit) sees the device as: Otter2-Prod-04 with a yellow exclamation mark icon and KFU still doesn't seem to be able to communicate with the device.
I'm running out of ideas, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
Never mind, I got KFU to recognise the device finally but I think it's bricked it, it's just black now with no light on the power button or anything.
I don't suppose there's any way to fix that?

Try updating the driver in driver settings. That was the problem with my PC once. I just updated and ADB was recognized

Nope, but thank you anyway, the problem is that my kindle fire has no os and it's just stuck at the stock boot up screen without any recovery...
You need a Fastboot cable/adapter/etc.
You can make one yourself by soldering 4th contact/the one with the missing spot to the 1st contact (red wire/power wire).
And then you can use whatever to recover.
AND make sure you use Kindle Fire FIRST GENERATION SOFTWARE. OTHERWISE YOU WILL BRICK AGAIN, AND THEN, COMES JTAG.

For future use, NEVER, EVER remove the USB while flashing. Unless you wait at least an hour and nothing happens. Had it been flashing the recovery/bootloader right then you may have bricked your device.
Also, while flashing it may appear to hang. It isn't always the case.

It appears to get to the part where it starts to load the OS. In this case try to get into recovery. If you can get into recovery, great! Then just adb sideload the latest ROM from OnePlus.

I'm not see the video but why you flash twrp and flash any other rom and try ?
Finally, OnePlus has told me that motherboard is not working. So have to change phone.

Is this fixable (Fire TV 2nd Gen boots to recovery?)

I have a Fire TV 2nd Gen that I have not used in years. I recently fired it up and after attempting to boot up a few times it ends up on a recovery screen as seen in the photo.

Is there a way out of this? I would love to be able to factory wipe to stock firmware if at all possible?

Looks like your eMMC is read/only, i.e. faulty.
There are a few reports about something like this, for sloane especially with faulty samsung eMMC chips.
I would sell the box (for parts only).
Thank you, that would be a shame.
However reading through my original post, I failed to mention that this Fire TV had in fact been rooted. I forgot how I did it back then, and as I said, I haven't used it in a really long time.
Do you think, given the new info that this device has previousy been rooted, that it is still is faulty memory?

In case of a rooted box the eMMC may be fine, if something like the GPT or partitions are messed up.
You can always try the unlock/unbrick for sloane.
All you need is an USB a-a cable, a PC running ubuntu, the latest amonet.zip file for sloane and careful hands The last thing is the most important point as you would need to open up the box and short a special point to ground with something soft but conductive like small copper wire (i.e. no steel parts). The point to short is a really small SMD part and if the part gets lost or damaged, the eMMC gets not accessible... The shorting is a bit annoying as you may need about 50 attempts until the unbrick will work (the sloane isn't as easy to short like a firestick, because the box use a power brick and sucks power via usb too).
There is no guarantee at all that this will help you, since a broken eMMC is only fixable with a replacement chip...
but in case it's only a partition problem, a messed up filesystem or something like this you may get the box fixed. Try it.
