I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 (7.4.6) rooted and I want to know if there's a way that I can install the TWRP Recovery without flashing any rom at the moment and most important without bricking it. I want to have it installed in case that in a future I want to flash a rom. I think it's a must have tool on this device but I'm not quite sure if it's possible and I don't want to try how-to's that I've read in these forums because it's not what I'm looking for and I don't want to mess up the KF . Any help or advice on this will be very appreciated. :angel:
Nothing?
Unfortunately you posted this in the wrong forum. This forum is for the original KF. A quick search should get you to the HD forum. Good luck.

Hello,
I am new to Android and rooting an general but so far what I have done I have liked. I have rooted the Kindle fire .I downloaded version 0.9.6 from xda-developers.com and the OS is 6.3.1 ( I think this is Gingerbread?).
My question is, I would like to install ICS on the Kindle but I am not sure where to start and what is the most stable? Is there a stock image from Google? If I get one from xda will there some how be malware attached? can I trust from other sources? what am I looking for in a image?
Thanks

It is easy to install ics if you have twrp installed. Well do you?. If you do. download the ics.zip and go on twrp click on install
look for the zip folder and the slide to install

This is just what I was looking for, thanks!
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.. I've tried to install four ROMs and I get to the reboot screen and I reboot and it loads up and then twenty minutes later and still in the boot animation screen an hour later still on the boot animation screen.. two hours later still on the boot animation screen.. I'm no rookie at flashing if had iPhone, evo 4g, gs3 but this puzzles me I have used twrp on all my devices except the I phone so I'd like to think I know what I'm doing but I just can't get any ROM to boot up successfully on this thing I've tried paranoid Android, miui , a few jelly Bean ROMs and still none will go past the boot animation... Help please

So did you come from stock 6.3.1? What did you use to root your KF? what did you use to install your ROM? these would all be helpful answers. Thanks.

Don't know if ur being sarcastic or not but if all else fails.....go back to complete stock (no root, stock Amazon 6.3.1), re-root and try again. There have been a number of not so good issues with the newest TWRP. I have been using TWRP version 2.2.2.1 and have flashed many ROMs with no complication

TWRP.......use version 2.2.2.1
Sent from my rooted SCH-R880 POS
Is anyone running stock 10.2.6 with TWRP installed?
If so, please make a nandroid backup and provide me with the boot.img from the backup.
If you meet the conditions above and want to help but don't know how.. Ask here I'll be glad to help you help me.
OR if you have the boot.img from another method... That's cool too.
I would do it myself, but i don't feel like going back to stock just yet.
Thanks to anyone who helps

You should be able to extract it from the full 10.2.6 recovery image.

Just to make sure. This kf must be the first generation it doesnt have any camera. And the way i rooted it did not put the yellow triangule. Thanks in advance.

The yellow triangle has been long gone for awhile in reference to the 1st gen (6.3.1)
10.2.3 is NOT the original Kindle Fire.

Now i feel like a Boss thanks now i am running jelly bean
I am a complete noob and I have a question. I am going to root my kindle fire with "Kindle Fire Utility 0.98+" and I know that I have to install permanent root, but what else on the menu do I need to install, and is there any particular order to install them, and how to UN-root if I have too.
Sorry for a stupid question but I am not accustom to these things like the younger generation.
Thanks,
Scotty
Make sure what kindle version you got. You don't want to brick it. All the tools you need should be in kfu. Good luck

I have version 6.3.2 on the kindle fire. I have done research and reading but can not figure out if I need to install eveyrthing that is on the menu or what these things do. Once I figure that out, I can go ahead and root but not until.
Thank you for your reply,
Scotty

If all you need to do is root, just select the root option in the menu. It will install everything you need.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much awidawad for the reply. I think I only need root. Will I be able to Un-root if I need to or do I need something else ?

I know there is, but the only option I can give you is to uninstall superuser when you are rooted. That will not give anything access to root. Is this the same as unrooting? I don't know.
Also, you could flash the stock update.zip after taking appropriate measures in TWRP and wiping the things you need to to go back to the unmodded kindle fire OS.

Yes, just download one of the update files from KFU and install them and you will be unrooted. Or uninstall superuser after deleting su in the /system directory.
