I loaded MoDaCo's Custom ROM for the Kindle Fire. Thanks!
Are there any KF2 stock rooted roms out there? There are too many bugs with the two current KF2 roms out...I need YouTube to work, etc. Is there a stock rooted rom I can use until development gets a little better? Thx.

Okay, you need to clarify really what the issue is, and what you're trying to do.
Firstly, YouTube does work on the CM10.1 rom, just not with HD.
ROMs are the Operating system for your kindle. All ROMs can basically enable root, and install the superuser app. If you have root, you're still on stock. However, using the root permissions, you can get a bootloader/recovery setup, and then install a new ROM. Most new ROMs have root already enabled and superuser installed, but they don't have to. You can get and lose root on any ROM.
This is how you restore the Kindle. Yes you do need a fastboot cable.
Depending on what state your device is in, it may be possible without the cable, but it would be more complex and/or dangerous.

Sorry for not explaining myself bettter. I'm currently on [ROM] [JB 4.2.1]cm10.1/sgt7 [20130118], obviously rooted, the whole shabang, nothing is with my KF2, I can boot into the rom, recovery, restart, power on/off, etc. Anyways, fmkilo helped me root my KF2 as it was totally different for me than my original KF which was easy to root, has issues with this. He was a big help and recommended that I flash the sgt7 rom, well I didn't make a backup(not going to say why) of my KF2 when I was rooted using just stock, no rom, etc. Well the sgt7 rom is not stable for me, YouTube isn't working(which my son uses, the KF2 is basically his) along with other issues. I want to just get back to my stock KF2 until something more stable for daily use comes out. I don't want to lose root, I just want to get back to my KF2 before I flashed the sgt7 rom. From what I've read you have to buy a special factory cable to restore your KF2, correct? I don't have one so I'm curious one why I need to go through all that trouble just to get back to stock w/ root? All I need right now is the Android Market and the Google apps.

just flash the new hashrom until sgt7 gets updated, youtube hd works now, if you really want to go back to stock, I can guide you over on irc... details in my sig VV
The only thing a factory cable does is get you into Fastboot. If you have a rooted ROM, you can get into fastboot either using ADB commands (if the Kindle is connected to the computer): "su" <enter> and then "reboot bootloader" <enter>. Without the quotes. reboot bootloader will cause the Kindle to reboot into fastboot mode and then you can use the first aide program in the link provided to load the factory ROM, and then do the factory over the air upgrade to 10.2.6 and then root it.
Or, install Android Terminal on the Kindle, and in Android Terminal issue the commands "su" and then "reboot bootloader".

I have a Fire HD10". It is rooted and runs fine. I need to get TWRP installed on it, is there a way to do this without using Linux ? What is the best way to install TWRP on the Fire10" ?
Thank you

Download the twrp app
I've done a search on the forum and can't find the exact answer I'm after. I have a Fire TV2 box that I would prefer to keep on Fire OS 5.0.5. TWRP Recovery is currently on 3.0.0-4 and I would like to update it to the latest version without installing the latest Fire OS pre-rooted ROM. There are many guides on the internet for updating TWRP on Android phone and I wonder if it is the same approach for Fire TV (and I can just follow one of those)? Thanks for all help.

Nope, since TWRP runs from a ram disk, not from the recovery partition..
OK. So other than installing latest pre-rooted ROM is there anyway to update TWRP recovery (& stay on the Fire OS I’m currently on)? Thanks.
Hello,
I got 2 Sloans from ebay that I had to do this procedure on https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unbrick-root-twrp-fire-tv-2-sloane.3986303/ in order to get them up and running and they are, they are now running latest rooted rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/firetv-2-sloane-prerooted-stock-images-5-2-7-6_r1.3309783/ .
Which is great ! thank you XDA once again !
But I want to unroot and run latest stock rom which seems to be 5.2.8.0 (671761720). I tried all procedures to force it to update OTA, but it refuses and always says up to date.
Also reason for unrooting is some apps like peacock just refuse to work...
From what I understand I can just flash the stock unrooted rom via TWRP, but for the life of me I can not find the stock roms, or even a rooted latest ROM.
Any help is really appreciated ! TIA

Hi,
I would recommend you to use this procedure now that you have TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-firetv-2-sloane.4222331/
After that, flash any of this ROMs through the NEW recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-firetv-2-sloane.4222331/#post-84353191

Really appreciate the reply. I tried the first link, and that didnt help, but I see the links to the original firmware so i might just try to install it via recovery.
I was able to unroot by flushing one of those roms and recovery is gone now as well. But it still does not go to the latest firmware... weird.
