Amazon Kindle Fire Rom Install Tips
1. Learn how to use the kindle fire utility or KFU. It can do many use full things to the fire like install a custom recovery and rooting the device, also installs FIRE FIRE FIRE which gives you a boot menu.
2. Read the best Kindle Fire guide ever. Link Kindle Fire Guide For Beginners
3. How to install a custom Rom like CM10 you are going to enter a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM. then make a nandroid backup. Next Wipe data, cache, & dalvik cache. Now install / flash the rom zip and gapps then reboot, thats it.
4. Bricked your Kindle Fire? Stuck on the kindle fire screen? Buy a Factory cable from ebay which will boot you into fastboot and you will be able to use KFU to flash FFF and TWRP then restore it.
i have same problem. no power after downgrade to 5.1.2
Hi, I tried to downgrade my kindle fire 7 5th gen it was at version 5.4.0. I side loaded firmware and it won’t respond now to power button. Can you give me some advise where to look. I have seen some tutorial for 4th gen with python scripts which I got the handshake working but the reader.py didn’t respond with anything. So seems there is some life in there but obly in the preloader
Hello,
I have a Fire 5th gen with 5.3.1 and installed CM12.1 a few months ago with the help of Supertool.
Everything work fine. Suddenly after a reboot its stuck in the bluewhite CM bootlogo. Reset didnt help.
Recovery menu works. I looked around at xda and others and the only way seems to start up from scratch.
Is that right or is there a better way to fix this issue?
Thanks for any help/suggestions,
Rudi
please help
my amazon fire 5th generation stopped working

when i connect it by usb i found preloader mtxxx
please i don’t know what i do
I have a Fire HD 3rd Generation, firmware 4.5.5.2, and want to root it and eventually set it up with Dual Boot and TWRP.
This model does not have a microSD slot but it refers to it’s available free memory as being 3.3 GB when connected by USB to a Mint Linux laptop.
I’m new to Kindle Fire models, does this have accessible internal memory that can be increased? It sometime refers to a SD location but I can’t find it if there is such a place.
My long term plan is to use it as a Ebook reader (epub and/or mobi) and an audio book player (for *.mp3 or maybe *.ogg audio files) that can communicate via bluetooth with my hearing aids via an intermediate device (Compilot II dongle). That bluetooth link it has now has been tested with *.mp3 files and is working fine now.
It will not be used with an amazon account or for any only purchases from amazon or google.
Thanks for any help/suggestions,
Jack

Hello Root Junky , and thank you for all your work on the kindle fire 5th.

hopefully I can return it. I still want to try though , I am thinking of buying another one , can anything be done with 5.3.3 the newest ??
