Yes, i did and it enter to fastboot mode but my computer doesn't recognizes it and I don't know what to do.
use fastboot cable to connect PC and kindle
use command: "fastboot -i 0x1949 devices" to check did your pc recognizes your device yet
ah, do you use desktop computer or laptop? if desktop, did you plus usb cable in front panel or rear panel? (rear panel recommended)

And now what I should do? Sorry, for asking so much but I don't want to do anything wrong and finish definitely bricking the kindle.
I'm using a laptop, there is nothing else available ATM.

Is anyone else having problems with no connectivity from computer to kf2 using latest cm? It charges but no storage or adb. No notification on device when plugged into computer or anything. From Linux lsusb only shows device ("lab 126") when in bootloader before rom boot. No detection even in recovery. Any ideas??? flashed Latest TWRP also

** If everything was done correctly you will at this point see the bootmenu with a BLUE logo during the reboot. **
First of all thank you for putting all this together.
When I reach the above step, I do not see the blue logo. I followed each step without any issues however upon reboot, it boots into the same fastboot screen, no menus. Any ideas on what to try next?
Thanks.

FYI I've downgraded to 10.2.3, re-rooted successfully, flash all the files, rebooted and still at the normal fastboot screen. I guess next I'll try to downgrade to 10.2.1. After that I'm totally open to suggestions. Thanks again.
EDIT: Holy crap working. I missed the little menu at the bottom as it was booting. Thanks!!!! Excite.

I cant get my Win 7 to see the kf2 with CM 11
I used MS One Drive to get my files to the kf2. My kf2 shows that it is connected but the PC doesn't show it. Even though this thread is pretty old, I was able to cobble together everything to get CM 11 (4.4.4) on my kf2 so thanks very much to hashcode and all of his work to breath new life into my kf2. (I lost my Nexus 7 (2013) to my wife, but now I have an Android tablet again) cheers!

TWRP 2.8.1.0
I've just built latest TWRP with CM11 and quick test done http://d-h.st/AE0
It would be appreciated if someone could make a flashable zip since I have no time to do that, Enjoy!
uh, nvm... after more testing turned out it's borked as duck
EDIT: Oh, I forgot the fact that mount USB storage never works on our tablet... Well, here is 2.8.1.1 from latest source code, enjoy! http://d-h.st/SWh

May I ask you for help? I was trying to to restore my kindle to 10.2.3 firmware but something didn't work and now shows a red triangle all the time. I cannot reboot-restore, or better said i don't now how to do it.
Please, could you help me?

Well, I've never had that red triangle(actually it was a gray one for me) but seems like you need a factory cable to boot into bootloader as I did when that happened before.
Thank you for your answer. I have factory cable and it enter to fastmode but i don't know how to boot it. It say cannot boot.

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
