[BOOTLOADER] 2nd-Bootloader/Recovery unlock process for KFire 2 [TWRP 2.6.3.0]
- Thread starter Hashcode
- Start date
so if you use FMKILO 1-CLICK METHOD to install prerequisite, then all you have to do is flash this in twrp, after wiping of course?
Re: [ROM/KERNEL] UNOFFICIAL CM10.1 + 3.0.50 Kernel for Kindle Fire 2 [01/15 1st relea
So I noticed that imdb app can play Hd video on cm 10. 1 which I found odd cause the Hd codes isn't supposed to work yet.

Wipe everything and reinstall the Rom. This is NOT a common issue

I had this issue. I had to reinstall twrp and reflash the rom.
Re: [ROM/KERNEL] UNOFFICIAL CM10.1 + 3.0.50 Kernel for Kindle Fire 2 [01/15 1st relea
Thanks, got it working by pushing the ROM and gapps through adb.
The biggest challenge was to get windows to recognize kf2.
One thing I noticed that was after using cmd command to run as administrator, I was able to run all adb commands successfully.

I think if you read the first post in powerpoint45 thread... you will KNOW the difference.
Edit: I just double checked. Read post one, two AND three

lol. What Majick said is true, it's all in the thread. I do realize there are some finer points though that aren't in the thread, and as far as I know, no one directly mentioned, for a good reason, it's slightly useless information, but maybe you or others would like to know!
- The ROM originally was tablet mode added to CM10.1, this meant that the settings for the CM10 notification bar still existed, yet they did nothing, and you couldn't customize the navbar as all.
- He later added some of SGT7. You can google SGT7 to see the basics of what he added. The main thing to know though, is that you can customize the navbar a bit more. Just more settings in general.
- In the third version, most things were cosmetic. The bar is a nice textured grey, and the other changes he noted. If you want a very stock look version 2 is okay, but PPT didn't make the cosmetic changes to look bad overall it's a lot more usable and looks nicer.
Just so you know some of the smaller details
You rule sir.
And on a side note: FMKilo confirms that HD codec binary is loading for him. It's untested as of yet as he has no wifi available for YouTubeHD etc. But I believe we should be very close to HD codecs.
EDIT: I just re-read that and it looks like I was holding out for some kind of donation on the codec fix. Not true! It just happened to work out that I had some time today to fix it.
I'll upload a new build shortly.

73Introducing: Kindle Fire 2nd-bootloader + TWRP 2.6.3.0 for the Kindle Fire 2nd GEN
*** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! WHILE I TRY MY BEST TO PROVIDE WORKING KERNELS/ROMS, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS SOFTWARE OR ANYTHING I'VE WORKED ON SUDDENLY FRIES YOUR DEVICE. ***
*** READ CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ***
*** Kindle Fire 1st-gen ROMs/KERNELS are *NOT* compatible with the Kindle Fire 2. Please only flash ROMs/KERNELS that are made for the Kindle Fire 2. ***
** IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, RE-READ THROUGH THE THREAD FOR ANSWERS. WHEN YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY SURE NO ONE HAS ASKED YOUR QUESTION, GO AHEAD AND RE-READ THE THREAD AGAIN AND USE THE SEARCH FEATURE. THEN POST YOUR QUESTION IF YOU STILL CAN'T FIND THE ANSWER **
** WHEN MOVING FROM AMAZON OS TO CM10.1 IN TWRP: "WIPE" -> "SYSTEM" AND "FACTORY RESET" TO CLEAR SYSTEM/DATA/CACHE. YOUR APPS FROM AMAZON ICS AREN'T COMPATIBLE. IF NOT YOU'LL LOOP ON THE CM10.1 BOOT ANIMATION **
[03/27] NEW support thread for OFFICIAL CM on the Otter2 (Kindle Fire 2):
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2209995
** YOU SHOULD HAVE A WORKING FASTBOOT CABLE + FASTBOOT DRIVERS/ACCESS ON YOUR PC. **
Q: How do I know if my fastboot works?
A: Plug the cable into your device and then the computer. Reboot the Kindle. It *SHOULD* show a Fastboot screen. Once at the screen use this command on your computer:
fastboot -i 0x1949 devices
You should see something like this:
0123456789ABCDEF
Here's 1 website you can purchase a FASTBOOT adapter from (works with your normal USB cable)
http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm
** I don't make any commission or fee from the sales of these devices, I just know they have them on stock most of the time and ship in a reasonable time frame unlike the Chinese variants found on ebay.
If you do NOT see this, then make sure you have the SDK installed correctly and you have the right setup for fastboot on your PC before proceeding.
*** BE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD CHARGE ON THE DEVICE ***
INITIAL SETUP INSTRUCTIONS (1st TIME ONLY) FOR 2ND-BOOTLOADER + TeamWinRecoveryProject INSTALL:
STEP 1. Backup your stock partitions to your own HD for later if you need disaster recovery:
Take those files and put them somewhere safe.Code:adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system # This will take a few minutes
STEP 2: Download the files you will need to install 2nd-bootloader, TWRP and CM10.1:
- Stack override file:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter2/stack - [12/09] otter2-freedom-boot-10.4.6.img (USED ONLY THE FIRST TIME -- .zip files will have their own boot.img's from now on):
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter2/otter2-freedom-boot-10.4.6.img
md5sum: 80f9b9ba80910de361463560f86f315a - [09/03] TeamWin Recovery 2.6.3.0:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter2/otter2-twrp-2.6.3.0-recovery.img
md5sum: a66a8cbab92fd5daaa85f6303e9cc0c3 - older 10.2.4 bootloader file and flash to your device via fastboot:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter2/otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
md5sum 5b03a7b428325de8d360ec201a745498
(You SHOULD check the MD5SUM before using fastboot -- downloads CAN be corrupted) - CM-10.1/CM-10.2 for the Kindle Fire 2 (choose the latest version from):
http://www.get.cm/?device=otter2 - Google Apps from: http://goo.im/gapps (choose the version: CM10.1 or CM10.2)
STEP 3. Install the stack override in /system:
ADB commands entered while booted up into STOCK *rooted* Amazon Kindle OS -- May need to enable ADB debugging in Settings:
[2013-08-21] edited the location where stack is placed on device due to permissions changes
Code:adb push stack /sdcard/ adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/stack of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system bs=6519488 seek=1"
[ Connect fastboot cable, and reboot the device so that "Fastboot" is showing ]
STEP 4.
Flash the OLD bootloader, new otter2-freedom-boot.img and TWRP recovery.[/B]
*DONT RE-FLASH FREEDOM-BOOT.IMG LATER AFTER FLASHING CM10.1 -- IT'S FOR STOCK AMAZON OS ONLY / FIRST INSTALL ONLY*
Code:fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot otter2-freedom-boot-10.4.6.img fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery otter2-twrp-2.6.3.0-recovery.img fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
** If everything was done correctly you will at this point see the bootmenu with a BLUE logo during the reboot. **
TO ENTER RECOVERY:
During the blue logo screen press the power button to cycle through options and select "Recovery" to enter TWRP.
Once in TWRP you can Install" the CM-10.1/CM-10.2 by selecting "Install" and then browsing the device and selecting it, then "Add Zip" and select the Gapps .zip as well.
Use the slider to start the install.
FLASHING BACK TO STOCK:
** FIND THE FILES WE BACKED UP IN STEP #1 OR DOWNLOAD NEW ONES FROM THE RECOVERY THREAD HERE: **
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2035047
Once you have these files (we'll name them boot.img/recovery.img and system.img for the purpose of these instructions, but they could be different on your system).
Plug in your fastboot cable and reboot so that you see the fastboot screen and enter the following commands:
Code:fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot [B]boot.img[/B] fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery [B]recovery.img[/B] fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system [B]system.img[/B] # This one will take a few minutes fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
Enjoy
