TWRP Installer (Obsolete)

Hi all, as promised here is my utility for installing TWRP. Once you have TWRP you can flash anything you want, and can get permanent root.
This tool REQUIRES BurritoRoot which can be found: Click Here
Currently the tool does:
Resets ADB to root with BurritoRoot
Auto download and install TWRP Recovery + FireFireFire.
The Installer does come with the drivers incase they are needed.
Please note: If your device can't be seen in fastboot mode, please make sure to install the drivers packaged with this, as it will show up afterwards. You can use the install_drivers.bat with the device plugged in for this.
Usage should be straight forward for the tool. If you are having issues with something, please post.
I make no claim that this tool is perfect, but I certainly will do my best to support it as long as people like it.
Here are some screen-shots of it:

If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution

If you are running a version of Amazon's ROM then yes. Until someone pulls the update engine out of the ROM, and maintains the operation of Amazon's apps then this will continue to occur. If you would rather avoid the issue, flash cm7 or something other than Amazon's ROM.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13027-universal-all-firmware-one-click-root-including-261/ the APK is posted elsewhere, my tool is not supposed to have that apk, I made a mistake in my testing of it and forgot to delete the APK.
This mistake has been corrected.
Sorry jcase.

where is "install_drivers.bat"

You can get it from KFU if you need it. I didn't include it as it is unreliable atm.

Stuck at yellow triangle screen that says press power button for recovery and your installer window looks like this:
I rebooted the device as well - no luck. Stuck at this window. Looks like bootmode is stuck?
Ideas?

I liked this. Any chance you'll be doing a 6.2.2 version?

Sure, the pack will be updated to reflect new Kindle Fire Firmware

download link
The link is dead...just keeps loading for me, on Pc and kindle.

Im doing reupload, looks like multiupload deleted it :/

+1 for 6.2.2 please.
Thanks

Link updaed

I can't seem to download, the link shows up as:

Link Fixed

Thanks mate

I got fed up of no flash support on ICS rom so i flashed my backup of original rom and installed this, its really slick and smooth, thanks.

So when can we expect the 6.2.2 update?

I will try to release it tomorrrow or at monday, currently im moving my websites to new datacenter and it takes a time after that im all yours ;D

No rush. Thanks.

I have experience with other Android devices, but this is my first time with a Kindle and I'm having a problem.
I installed TWRP recovery using the Kindle Fire Utility and after doing a Cache and Dalvik wipe I tried to install STOCKPLUS_TunePack_vol_1_BLAZE_6.2.1_user_3103920_ 1326318900.zip. The problem is that after the reboot the Kindle is freezed at the kindle fire logo.
It's a 6.2.2 Kindle and this TunePack is for 6.2.1 so that might be the problem. But how can I unblock the device now?
I still can turn it off/on and run TWRP, so I tried a Factory Reset, but it still stays at kindle fire after that.
Any hints? Thanks in advance!

This does not work on 6.2.2 yet. Have to reflash to stock.

You are having trouble downloading or installing? If you're having trouble downloading, just try on a different computer.
If you're having trouble installing, you'll have to say more before anyone can help you.

I tried to install a zip .I hit install and says error flashing zip.

Any kitkat rom requires twrp 2.6.3.1. Either upgrade twrp or just flash jellybean.

Is this ^^^ the problem? If so, download the newest TWRP, move it to the same folder as the other TWRP is in, in the kfu folder, rename it to recovery.zip or whatever TWRP ifs originally named, then remove the old one.
Launch kfu, and choose to install recovery. If that doesn't work, post back. Cheers, and good luck!

well im not sure what I did exactly I think I installed KFU 0.9.9. I then tried to install a rom I cant remember what one but kept getting an error so I rebooted it and got this alien looking face loading then it said cryomodd (Sp) I think something worked lo but I don't have any google apps now ?

really need to know which rom was flashed, file name is good.
gapps must match rom.
if it was cm 11, recovery must be updated first.

1: you need TWRP 2.6.3.1 w/ SElinux support as stated before.
when you boot to recovery it will have version on top line, should be v2.6.3.1
2. Did you verify md5 check sum for rom, it's posted on roms download page for a reason
see Verify that your downloads are complete with MD5/SHA-1 Hash Checksums
3. KitKat Gapps are posted offical rom thread [ROM/KERNEL] OFFICIAL CM11.0 + 3.0.72 Kernel for Kindle Fire [NIGHTLIES]
and my page sd_shadow's [Collection] of Gapps:

[Q] Version check, and ROM update?

Ok, I got a kindle fire for my daughter a couple years back. I flashed a custom ROM onto it, and put a bunch of kid apps on it.
Well, we thought we lost it, and it turned up the other day after about a year.
I slapped it on the charger, and later that day booted it up. It works fine. It has a old ROM on it, and I'd prefer to try to get something close to 4.4 if there is one.
I'm also not 100% sure which version of the Kindle Fire this is. (Pretty sure its the original one, not a KF2, or KFHD)

You have an Otter(1), which is the Kindle Fire(1)
There has been an Fork in the Development
OtterX Roms: require converting to the Otter X Project see my [How To][Video] Convert to OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [ROM 2014-05-08] and Hashcodes' thread OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [TWRP 2.7.1 2014-06-08]
Otter roms: use stock partitions (otter/blaze)
to upgrade to Android 4.4/KitKat/CM11 Otter Roms you need to upgrade TWRP to 2.6.3.0 or better newest is 2.8.0.1
Download zip-openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-blaze.zip place on Kindles internal sd card, and install in whatever recovery is currently installed, reboot
then install a KitKat rom from [INDEX] Kindle Fire Development
Just dont just a rom with otterx in the name, many of the devs have dropped the stock otter, and just build otterX.
Official Cm11 or otter are here http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=otter and because of the smaller partition sizes of the Kindle use the PA Mini or Micro GApps the fulls Google Apps are 291MB now.

You sir, are made of awesome.
I'll get right on this.

Two questions. First, Does it matter that this says Blaze instead of Otter or OtterX?

Ah, ok cool.
I got it working with the bootloader, and TWRP 2.7.1.0
I'm looking at Slimkat which had links to their own GApps. I think I'm going to install that one...

Haven't gotten the ROM installed yet because after the TWRP install, my PC no longer recognizes the device.
I've tried reboots etc, but right now, I just have a device with OtterX and TWRP on it... and nothing else.

otterX is the new partition system, not a file
You mean otterX rom?
did you follow the convert to OtterX instruction?
could be drivers
open device manager, uninstall any drivers for the kindle fire, maybe listed as something else, and may need to disconnect it a couple of time to figure it out.
Download Kindle Fire Utility, extract files, run install.drivers.bat

after fighting with it for a while, I got it going.
It's booting into SlimKAT now
Thanks again for the help!
