Apple devices like iPhone's are jailbroke not android devices.
Most of the advantages of jailbraking are already available by default even on a Fire Tablet.

Hi,
currently I am stuck at the non flashing "kindlefire" bootlogo.
I cant access TWRP anymore and my computer also does not recognize the kindle fire.. what options do I have to get a bootable kindle fire again?
What I have done in the last 4 hours to end up in that state:
follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105077
IMPORTANT: WHEN COMING FROM STOCK AMAZON OS
-Make sure you wipe everything while in TWRP before you flash anything!

I did like statet and ended up without OS because I wiped everything like statet.
Then, after booting into fastboot I tried that tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
It said that I recovered my kindle to stick firmware but In fact I am stuck now with the bootscreen.
Can anyone help me please?
after following this thread
Do you have a KF1 or KF2?
As soup said, are you sure you have a Kindle Fire 2?
Did you buy it new, and did it come in a brown or black box?
You might be OK to flash TWRP again, then use ADB push command to get a 10.1 ROM onto your Kindle. I would talk with Soup a bit in case there is an issue with his tool.

Hello,
Long time lurker here as I first found this forum when I rooted my HP Touchpad to run Android. I have a Kindle Fire 1st Gen and would like dual boot. Here is the order I would like:
1. Normal Boot = Kindle Stock OS
2. Alt Boot = Android 4.2.2
I understand that dual boot is possible and that currently the normal boot currently boots into the Android OS by default. I read here that this order can be changed by modifying the source code of FireFireFire however I am unsure how to do this. I am comfortable using hex editors and modifying Linux and Windows scripts but I am not a coder. I am also comfortable using TWRP and flashing ROMS as I have done this with the Kindle and my HP Touchpad. Could anyone here point me in the right direction to help me get the Kindle Fire to boot in this order?

Well I finally figured it out. If anyone else is interested I have attached a write up of the steps I took to do this.
NOTE: I am posting this to people who have some level of knowledge on flashing alternate ROMS and rooting their device. I take no responsibility if you brick your device. These steps worked for me but your outcome could be different:
KF Utility is version 0.9.9 now, think you can update your guide?

can anyone clarify that it is indeed possible to dual boot a Kindle Fire HD 7 between the kindle OS and a regular android rom ? I'm coming across conflicting info and having trouble finding a starting point i guess. Is Kindle Fire OS Modaco a stock kindle OS with all Parental features? Thanks

I Think you would get better help in one of the KF HD Q&A forums
Hello, I am new to this thread. My Kindle Fire HD 7' is stuck on a boot loop. I was on another forum, about installing custom ROM, and I followed every step, and I rooted, but, when I rebooted, the Kindle started going into a boot loop. I would really appreciate it if someone could please help out, I just got this Kindle a few days ago.
Thank You.

Wrong forum; you (presumably) have a 3rd gen HDX. This forum/thread is for 1st gen devices. Go here.
Note: The bootloader must be unlocked to use/install a custom recovery like TWRP on HDX devices which is a somewhat involved process. See this post for commentary and link.
Hello all, had a rooted fire tv 1 with the clockwork recovery. I downloaded the pre-rooted firmware 5.2.6.0 (bueller-5.6.2.0-root.zip) and upgraded the fire tv using the clockwork recovery. Everything worked fine and the fire tv booted up with the new firmware. I then went to device and restart fire tv. The fire tv turned off, but then wouldn't turn on. Now when I connect power to it, the white led doesn't show up, and I'm not able to connect to it through adb. Is there something in the latest firmware that bricks the fire tv? Any help is appreciated.
Based on the mention of "clockwork recovery", sounds as if an upgrade was attempted from a FireOS 3 ROM. A different recovery is required for FireOS 5 based ROMs.

Is your bootloader fully unlocked? If not, SOL from what I understand. If unsure, time to level up.
Amazon FireTV devices tend to work a bit differently with ROMS and recoveries compared to typical android devices. It is advised to keep current on that site's ROM articles to help avoid future pitfalls.
The firmware that was on the fire tv before I did the upgrade was 51.1.4.1. This was a pre-rooted firmware with the bootloader fully unlocked. When the fire tv booted up, I had R-boxes screen come up with the choices to go to recovery or go to bootloader. I chose recovery and through ADB I copied the 5.2.6.0 pre-rooted rom to the fire tv and then upgraded it through the clockwork recovery console. I didn't upgrade to the to the twrp tool.
So what I'm hearing is that the Fire Tv is bricked and there's no way to recover? What's weird is that once the new rom was installed, the fire tv rebooted and everything worked, it was only after I went to the fire tv settings menu, device and restart fire tv that it never came back.

I recall reading multiple posts about different people with the same outcome who skipped both the last FireOS 3 version upgrade and the twrp flash. If the box no longer allows connection via adb, even a roundabout recovery is not possible, from what I understand.

Thanks for the info, I should have done some reading to before the upgrade.
Maybe you would want to try if this works for you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66961740&postcount=676
