I tried to root my Kindle Fire using KFU 0.9.6. But am unable to root, only the TWRP got installed.
In almost all the websites I found that once TWRP got installed properly then the yellow triangle will appear during reboot. But am unable to see that during reboot.
But am able to see kindle fire with blue color, instead of the ellow Triangle
could someone help me out in this?
thx in advance.

how do you know that TWRP got installed if you can't see the bootloader icon? Maybe try a different version of KFU, 0.9.5 works for me. Also be sure that your KFU recognizes your kindle when it's plugged in. The ADB status should say ONLINE in the main menu window.
Try this video on how to root 6.3.1 it works for me perfectly fine just make sure you follow all of the steps word for word. Just go to YouTube and type in "how to root kindle fire nat3mil" I would have posted a link but I'm new so it won't let me post links.

The yellow icon is the old version . The Kindle Fire with Fire in blue is the new version. It threw me off when I rooted mine for the 1st time too.

Yeah, this should be the version of Fire Fire Fire (1.4a) that was installed with KFU 0.9.6. There is a slight bug in the load up that will require you to tap the power button a few times to be able to switch between loaders (Normal, Recovery, Fast). Hashcode knows of it but it's not really a priority at this point since it's not causing anyone issues getting in to Recovery. Just a couple extra taps of the power button does the trick.
If you're looking to do a full wipe of the stock rom, make sure you clear cache, dalvik cache and do a factory reset.
I got to know that its bcoz of firefirefire am unable to see the yellow triangle. Now I flashed using the prerooted stock Rom. Installed play store. Working gr8... thanks for all those replied...

Rooted Amazon Kindle Fire with KFU Utility
Hey guys just wanted to give a little input. I was able to use the KFU utility ( the newest version ) and it worked just fine. I now have the Recovery installed TWRP but flashed Clockwork Recovery and all works. I'm looking to flash a 4.0 ICS version but haven't found the right source or file. Maybe I can be lead in the right direction. Thanks in advance! !!! Also uploading pic:

I also had problems with the latest KFU. I was left with 'partially' rooted device. I installed superuser.apk after that and now it's OK. I can even temporary unroot it to using OTA RootKeeper. AFAIK the only way to watch Amazon Prime videos is to temporary unroot the device.

Hey just wanted to reply about video player. I also was having problems playing videos after downloading videos like 3gp's and MP4's respectively. I downloaded a video player for those formats and now no longer have a problem viewing videos after download.

I highly suggest you do not use ClockWorkMod Recovery with the Kindle Fire. It has been known to cause the Kindle to brick. Stick with TWRP even if you don't like it.
Unable to root! Stucked on TWRPP 2.2.0 Screen with several options
Hello,
I've tried to root my Kindle fire using KFU 0.9.6)
However, when the KFU is processing the rooting, the kindle restarts and stucks itself on the TWRPP Screen with several options (Install, Backup, Restore...) and the KFU software shows a message of Please wait.
Does anyone know how to move on with the rooting?
Thanks in advanced

Really? Nothing shows on the Kindle at all? You get absolutely no graphics of any kind whatsoever?

First of all, I'd like to thank you all that make this community so valuable to us. I read the forum since I got my KF, around 6 months ago, and all the tutorials are very well detailed.
Today I tried to install a new ROM on my Kindle for the first time. It all went well, and I successfully installed the stock Jelly Bean from Hashcode. But the problem now is: I don't know how to install the GApps on it.
I'm trying to use the ADB and Kindle Fire Utility but it doesn't find the device.
Anyone of you guys could give me a hand with that problem?
Thanks
Are you using twrp? You flash gapps onto it the same way you flash a Rom. Boot into twrp, go to install, locate the directory where you have the gapps.zip file stored and click on it, flash it. Then wipe cache/ and dalvik cache and reboot.

I think the problem is with the adp drivers...I can not find my device so I can restart it with TWRP.
Ok but if you have fire fire fire and twrp installed already you should be able to bout into twrp by pushing the power button repeatedly during startup until it shows you voting into recovery mode.
Make sure you have the correct drivers installed,I believe the kf should show up as composite adb interface device on your pc with the right drivers. Someone else might be able to help you more but really the easiest way to flash gapps is to do it through twrp the exact same way you flash the new Rom minus the system wipe and factory reset.
Your device is a first gen kindle I assume?

Yes, it is a first gen Kindle.
I'm trying to boot to TWRP pressing the power button during startup but either I'm doing it wrong or something went bad after I installed the ROM.
I also tried to install the ADB driver in another computer but after I connect the kindle the PC recognizes it only as "Amazon Kindle Fire", and not the ADB interface.
I don't know what to do. But thanks for your help!
Try using the pc that is recognizing it as a kindle fire, uninstall the kindle fire drivers through device manager and then install the Google adb drivers, then hook the kindle back up to it via usb and see if it shows up correctly then?
Is your boot screen showing kindle fire in blue and white or the stock orange or something else?

The ROM is indeed much better than the stock one on the KF.
Hello all,
Right now I am getting very pissed at my kindle. I rooted it with KFU and installed TWRP and then flashed it to twa_priv's CM10.1/SGT7 ROM. After flashing it and gApps it got stuck on the cyanogen boot screen/animation. I tried to reboot it but it doesn't even show the option to go into TWRP anymore. It shows the orange Kindle Fire logo then goes straight to cyanogen and the logo just keeps spinning. I am getting ADB status when I connect it to KFU but I can not do anything with it or put it into Fastboot. Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point!
Seriously no help?

You shouldn't be mad at the Kindle, it didn't do anything wrong.
On the other hand, you probably failed to wipe system and factory reset before flashing the ROM (installation instructions are in twa_priv's SGT7 thread btw). Unfortunately, short of opening the case and list of other things that are outside the scope of this conversation, you're going to need a factory cable to get into fastboot.

I have the wall charger if that's what you mean by factory cable. Any more instructions you can give me so I can get back into TWRP?
If you're getting adb and the Kfu works why cant you just change to fadtboot from there?or re install root from here, adb should be able to give command line to access twrp

No, the factory cable is different. Look in the KF General forum for more information.

Personally I would say go with Skorpn's. They are made in small batches with great quality, fairly inexpensive, fast shipping, and everyone who gets theirs from him seem quite pleased with it overall. He's got a pretty good reputation on XDA so you should probably look into it, if not for that reason alone.

How can I push an OS back to my Kindle Fire HD 8.9. All i have is TWRP and a 2nd bootloader? ADB is unresponsive and I can get my Kindle into fastboot.
Depending on which method u want to use, if your aiming to use twrp to fix it I'm guessing u might be using an older version that isn't recognized by windows with the adb drivers u had SK you would have to force install them, after that u would just use adb side load to side load a stock rooted amazon is or any other. If you want the fast boot approach then try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126
I think if you use the second method then u can still keep your twrp+ 2nd bootloader as well.

When you open up device manager does it show a yellow triangle? And what met hood are u using adb, mounting internal storage via twrrp, or side loading adb?

Hey, i got a kindle fire hd 8.9 lte, been trying a few ROMS but none of them gave me a working mobile network, so i found this BAM 2.0 kitkat ROM made for my tablet, jemlte, but after doing the flash nornally (with wipes) i get stuck on Orange kindle logo, i was able to fix this and get back to TWRP, and flashed cm11 again (working fine but its not lte). Also tried to install jem version and had the same issue, so i guess im doing something wrong or missing some step.
I would like to install this BAM rom, but after all the research, i just found some posts saying that after flashing BAM 2.0 you need to flash cm11 kernel, but i cant find it.
How can i get this kernel? I tried to get it from Haschode´s cm11 version but with no success, any help or instructions will be appreciated.
Link to BAM rom :
goo.im/devs/BAM/jemlte
The kernel is the boot.img in the zip file you flash for cm11. To be more precise, the boot.img is the kernel + intramfs. I don't deal much with ROMs outside the one I'm trying to port so can't be of much more help than that as I don't know the specific instructions for putting bam together like you say you are doing.

As far as i'm concerned, this ROM's code for jemlte is based on Hashcode's work for this device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391776. But, lte on this rom doesn't work either. So as for now we need to stay with stock to get lte working.
Yea he hasn't gotten lte running yet, think the reason was he needs a lte device to kinda test out changes on so he can get it working and he doesn't have one. Wish I could help get it working, think he may have said something about it might be something different in how Amazon's init.rc does things, but I may be mistaken about that its been a while since I perused those threads.

Ok so i should wait for hashcodes versión then, thank you guys.
Its weird that i cant install the BAM 2.0 roms tho, either jem or jemlte gets stuck on kindle orange logo, and i have the latest twrp versión.
Have you ever been able to flash cm11 successfully? If not I might know why you cant get that ROM to work.

Ah then nevermind, sometimes the selinux stuff needs resetting on the use data partition, might be the case this time around but I'm not sure, I know a way to fix it if it is the case but unfortunately it would wipe your sdcard.

I tried formatting and wiping everything, and sideload the rom after, would you add a step or something?
Try running this from an adb shell, just make sure to unmount /data first:
Code:
mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/userdata
That should wipe selinux xattrib's from the use data partition, its basically a better way of doing an internal storage wipe. If it works then we know it was a simple selinux issue.

ah my bad i forgot to post the command before that:
Code:
umount /data
mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/userdata
or you can just unmount it in twrp by unchecking the partition under the mount menu(i think its the mount menu, don't have my kindle in front of me for reference)
aw nope it didnt work... had my hope there hehe
after i flash i get stuck in kindle orange logo, have to flash recovery and boot etc from fastboot, then re install cm11.
I will just wait for cm11 for lte, i wanted the bam version because it have the update app, so after i install it i wont have to check for updates, and eventually i was gonna get a working lte version... ill just keep checking for the cm version time to time. thank you very much anyways!
how did you fix once you fLASHED BAM
I I am stuck on the fire logo and cant get it to go no futher after I flashed bam can you guide me on how you fixed it to get past and flash cm11 back on my hd 8.9
