Video added to the OP on custom recovery install.

Hi,
I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 with 7.2.2. In the video you flash kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img which fits to the version of your installed Firmware.
Which files must I flash to avoid bricking my Kindle. And where can I get it if I have to use another img-file
Thanks
Frank

I would like to install 7.4.6 (have 7.2.3) with fire flash (y have just intalled 2nd-bootloader + TWRP 2.6.3.1), but I cant

I download kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img from Hashcode, run Fire Flash and then select in Boot Partition the Hashcode 7.4.6 img. Select Apply stack override and flash. The process run Ok, but I´m still in 7.2.3. Any idea of what iI´m doing wrong?

All this things I tried is because my Kindle shutoff itself without any appareant reason. I read related posts (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380191; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2161719) but I cant fix the problem.

Thank you.

The freedom boot file is just a boot.img file not a system.img. A boot.img is the file that boots the system. So it will not change your system. If you want to update the device to 7.4.6 and have 2nd bootloader and twrp installed just search for a stock 7.4.6 rom and flash it in twrp

sounds like you have a bad battery or maybe something loose inside the device

When using FireFlash you flash a freedom boot.img and TWRP. This can only be done from stock. After stock, you need a zip with the necessary files in it. This is something that gets buy newer folks.

That said, I have seen a lot of complaints about random un-fixable shutdowns all over. Even a system restore and letting Amazon push OTA updates is not fixing it. Probably some hardware or software issue. If it were me, I would see what Amazon would do for warranty.

Edit: Oops, I meant to quote Elgari. Sorry about that.

mrdave60 · Dec 19, 2013

Great videos.They help me understand what I have been reading about for a week make sense.

mrdave60 · Dec 20, 2013

Not sure what to do?

OK, My kindle rooted fine, I got TWRP and 2nd bootloader to installed and did a backup, downloaded cm11 and gapps into my download folder,got into TWRP and did a wipe added zip files hit install, everything was going good and about 4 minutes into the install I got a message on the screen saying that said "system UI has stopped" then the screen went black. I waited a few minutes hit the power button and now I'm get a "cyanogenmod account has stopped"
Do I go back into TWRP and install my backup or try installing a different cm version ?

I think cm11 fully installed, I can adb to my kindle and get a device number and I can see all the files in the kindle on my laptop. I just don't have any user interface screen on my kindle.

Problem solved I held down the power button and the volume up and down buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds ,then release them and when it booted up every thing was fine. Running cm11

KitKat CM11 rom install

Hello
I followed your video step by step and got CM 11.0 installed. But I can't get Google Now to work. After opening Google app, it asks me to get Google Now. If I say yes, it asks me to add a Google account. After doing that, if I open the app again, the search bar opens. No option for Google Now. Any help would be appreciated.
