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.

thx
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.

Yeah im posting from my kindle right now using cm11.
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

Hi guys, this is my first time to flash my Kindle. I rooted my KF using KFU V0.9.6 and installed TWRP 2.3.1.1.
I have may OS backup in TWRP. I flash AOKP Milestone 6 and it keeps rebooting. So i tried other roms. I flashed gederom, jandcane and cm10/sg7 but all of them are stuck in bootanimation. This was my guide in flashing my KF, techhive.com/article/258452/how_to_install_ice_cream_sandwich_on_your_kindle_fire.html,
I followed all the instructions there. Guys help, what do i miss? I can still recover my stock KF OS. TIA
Here is a link to Amazon's website for the official stock software to flash on the Kindle if you want it back to being just like you took it out of the box brand new. You'll have to re-root it if you flash this stock software. Hope it helps http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620#download
Thanks guitarman. I can restore the stock os.But I still want to flash.

Sorry for the noob question but how do i donwgrade 2.3.1.1 to 2.2.2.1. Thanks.
In settings check the box that says " use rm -rf instead of formatting" perform a full wipe minus your external storage and try and flash a rom again.

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!

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.

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

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.

From Original thread:
Hi all, some of you may have seen my utility over in the de-bricking thread. My goal at this point is to try and make lives easier for everyone I can.
So what I have done is created a script that can be used to handle a lot of common things people may want, and I will continue to add things people request that I think would be easy, and beneficial. I just wanted to make this situation easier for the average person.
You will see how the tool detects you at the default screen, and can refresh it by hitting 0 at any menu to have it refresh ADB/Fastboot and see what mode the kindle is in.
Currently the tool comes packaged with the drivers required to operate ADB and Fastboot.
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, this tool has a good chance of getting you back on track.

Does matter what kind of USB cable I use? I have a Samsung one so I was wondering if I could use that. And to install Root itself you need the drivers right? Where do I get the drivers for 6.3.2? After it recognizes the kindle I just click the root option and... Kaboom right!!? Lol.

You need to run install_drivers.bat the run kfu and select root with your device connected in normal mode. The drivers should be universal with any ROM. Also, as long as the cable you are using is a micro-usb it should work I use an HTC cable and it works.

So for the dual boot, does this just set up the partitions, and then I can go install the two ROMs in recovery? Or does it also install two previously downloaded ROMs?

The dual boot installs the modified boot loader and resizes the partitions. Then you need to flash altrom-format-all.zip. When I update next I'll put more info in the readme

oh and the path that it cant find is \drivers\dpinst64.exe .
any suggestions?
Im pretty good with android but not so much kindle. my friend tried to flash a rom for me and managed to delete the software from it. i think it has TWRP but the storage wont mount through the recovery. HELP

I can boot into fastboot but with my limited experience I cant seem to get the SD card back so I can load a ROM and move on.
