*****Complaint Email Reveived******

We just received an email from user "F@@dog" with the following concern:

"Awhile back through the forum I brought to your attention items like line 20 "not found" as well as your incorrect statements about HD 8.9 2nd bootloader install being supported being incoirrect. Most recently I discussed in the forum the incongruity betwen published revision versions and the header versions in that very same software being something else.

Sir, your group should be commended for thw great programming you are doing with this tool. At the same time the total regard for documentation protocols puts the very excellent work a risk. somewhere down the line this is going to bite you where you sit and cause a very large group of people to lose confidence in your work.

Version numbers aside, the blatently false statement that all versions of the Kindle Fire HD are support is absolutely false. Hashcode has released code for 8.9 separate from HD 7. Line 39 trashed at least two Kindle Fire HD 8.9's tat I am aware of. I realize that this is a labor of love since you are not getting paid for your hard work but why distroy what good you have done by being careless and sloppy???"

Click to collapse

To All-

We take every email seriously and took a close look at the complaint. After reviewing the code, we did not find the error F@@dog is referencing the code is perfect.

I am the first to admit a mistake, I think everyone has seen I have made my share of mistakes and I will be the first to admit a mistake. If you take a close look at the code you will see we not only store each image on a different partition but each version of Freedom Bootloader in on a different server!

Also we ask the user to backup 2 times prior to install!

WE DID NOT MAKE FREEDOM BOOTLOADER, WE DO NOT CLAIM TO BE THE DEVELOPERS OF FREEDOM BOOTLOADER, THIS IS HASHCODE'S HARD WORK!

The Kindle is a very difficult platform to write code, we have to take advantage of an exploit to just to distribute software.

The Freedom Bootloader install is a line by line mirror to Hashcode's steps. If the install fails, it is not due to our code, it is due to the general risk of adding anything to the Kindle. The same risks exist if you use our method or Hashcode's method since they are identical. This is a risky upgrade, period, this is why we warn you to backup twice before deploying the update.

We do admit, we made a mistake on the version number and made other mistakes but I think everyone knows when you bring a mistake to our attention we fix it withing one hour of being made aware of the mistake.

Remember, this is a Beta release, it is not perfect, otherwise we would not post it as Beta. We do appreciate everyone who has given us feedback that helps improve the software.

If there is a problem with the code, post what you see so we can fix it but do not use this thread to blow off steam, we will not tolerate it. We will take constructive criticism - please if you post a complaint offer a solution.

We will stick by our statement, Kindle Fire First Aide supports the Kindle Fire HD 7", the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and the Kindle Fire 2.

We take extreme steps to make sure the code is correct but despite these steps, there is still a chance for a mistake.

By the way, due to this email, we have added an additional warning in the latest version 82, just in case someone forgets there is a risk involved.

Hi,

I just got my KFHD 8.9 with 8.1.4. I used the "Kindle Fire HD and 2 Universal Recovery Tool Version 3.1.76--Beta" #39: Install Kindle Fire 2nd bootloader + TWRP 2.3.3.0. It looked like all was going well throughout the process up through the last reboot. That's when it came back up but only showing the "Kindlefire" in the center of the screen. It doesn't come out of this present state. Could you please guide me into what to do next. Thank you in advance.

Regards,
John

Kahiau4life,

I am sorry to hear the upgrade caused issues. We are seeing a high number of failures for some reason even though the process is identical to Hashcode's - let try to wake the device back into Fastboot. Please unplug the Kindle from USB, then press the power button down for 30 full seconds let the Kindle power down.

Download these two images to C:\KFFirstAide

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/kfhd-8.2.3/Images/custom/kfhd8-freedom-boot.img
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/kfhd-8.2.3/Images/custom/kfhd8-twrp-2.3.3.0-recovery.img

Next open a command prompt inside of C:\KFFirstAide:

Code: 
cd C:\KFFirstAide
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot.img

Now plug the Kindle into your PC USB and Power the Kindle on, you will see <waiting for device> - hopefully the Kindle trigger’s into Fastboot. Once that image Flashes to the Kindle please do this:

Code: 
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-2.3.3.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

** If everything was done correctly your Kindle will reboot and you will at first see the normal Kindle Fire ORANGE logo and then it will fade and come back as a BLUE logo. **

CONGRATULATIONS YOU NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO INSTALL CUSTOM KERNELS / RECOVERY AND ROMS.

TO ENTER RECOVERY:
Press the left volume button (volume up) while the logo is still YELLOW and keep pressing until the logo turns BLUE. Wait a moment and you should enter recovery.

If this fails but you did see the images flash successfully, please do:

Code: 
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

What do you see in the Windows Device Manager when you power the Kindle up? Do you have an Yellow Traingles? If no, try this set of commands with the Power On:
Code: 
adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4002"

adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4000"

Hi,
My name's Will and I was wondering if you could help me with some issues I'm having with my Kindle Fire HD 7". Quick rundown is that I used the kffirstaide to root it. When I went to restore it to stock and start over in the end I ended up with the Holo Launcher as my lock screen and an Android start up screen after its unlocked.
After messing around with it for a bit I noticed that other than no notifier bar at at the top, no stock lock screen or stock home screen, and the bar across the bottom flashes in and out as well.
When I tried using kffirstaide again it tells me that it has an unknown user root. If you can help or need more info let me know. I greatly appreciate any and all help you can give.
Thanks in advance,
Will H.

wsh1025,

I know you sent us a PM, since this may help another person we decided to post it here in the thread. Try the following:

When you see the error "unknown user root" this is usually caused by a missing root passwd entry, the easiest way to fix it is to reinstall Root by running Option 40.

Hello,

I saw your thread "[ROOT][HOW TO] Root the Kindle Fire HD and 2 with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version" and i was wondering if it actually works with version 8.1.4, which is the one that my tablet has as of now. I was browsing through the pages in that thread but didn't see anything regarding the version my device has. If you have an answer to this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

chynovsky,

I know you sent us a PM but we like to post most responses to the Public just in case another user has the same issue.

OK, so if I understand you correctly, you are wondering if Option 21 Root is designed for the Kindle Fire 8.9", the answer is Yes, Option 21 does work on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Version 8.1.4, if you get stuck, please post another response here, OK?

I´ll return to AMAZON one kindle fire 8.9 8.1.4 I see in your software the option 22 but the steps to return to amazon would be:

1.-Install the ROM empty with root of your option 7 this with the intention to avoid uninstall things and if I forget to uninstall something
better begin with a clean ROM rooted and to enable OTA updates too with the clean ROM.
2.-Install busy box.
3.-Use the option 22 Unroot from your software.
4.-A factory reset after boot inside kindle.
And that´s it? With that is untraceable the root with amazon? or you suggest any other issue? I ask to avoid damage to the hardware.
Thank you

field3d,

I know you sent us a PM, since another user may have the same question here we go.

If I understand you correctly, you would like the steps to take prior to sending the Kindle in for service, correct? Here are the steps:

1. Backup the entire Kindle using Option 13
2. Restore the Kindle using Option 6
3. DO NOT ADD IT TO WIRELESS
4. Reboot into normal mode
5. Run Option 22 to Remove Root

That is it. When Amazon receives the Kindle it will be Factory Fresh.

Chris, I wrote you a PRIVATE email, not wanting to discuss these errors in front of the whole world. Instead of politely answering my complaint and suggestions "IN private" You had to get childish and blast it out to the world. It is a shame because your work for the most part is excellent and shows a maturity in coding your personality does not. I would not even bother to respond to your comments but today at 4:14 PM you responded to another similar complaint sending him the fiiles

'sorry to hear the upgrade caused issues. We are seeing a high number of failures for some reason even though the process is identical to Hashcode's"



Once again Chris, the code you refer to is NOT published in the code you are posting on here almost daily. I think we all would rather see you give us a lesser amount of revisions weekly or a couple of times a month that have been thorougly reviewed and vetted of blips. I stand by the other comments I made to you in private, there are errors in the code which are obvious if you run the RunMe.

"The system cannot find the file specified" is a feature found between line 19 and 21, there is no line 20.

Line 3 (item 39) As published on the Internet refers only to Kindle Fire 2 And Kindle Firee 7"

With hopes that we can bury the hatchet and move on..

Hi,

I know you've been working feverishly on the issues.
I would appreciate it you'd tell me if I can send in my Kindle or not.
I have tried everything I know and it seems to be 'dead'.
I have never fastboot nor have I seen the rolling dots for almost a week now.
If I can't send it to you guys, plz give me another suggestion or I'll just have to chance it with Amazon.

Again, thanks so much for your time.

Scott

other1,

The thread is very much alive! We had a two day hardware outage, that is all. Anyway, your question, if I understood you correctly, is "my Kindle Fire is dead what can I do"? Correct?

Depending on what you did will direct me towards a solution. What did you do prior to the Kindle becoming a Brick? Did you attempt to install TWRP? Once you reply back with what you did prior to it becoming a Brick then I will be able to give you a solution.

Do you own a Factory USB Cable? Did you attempt the TWRP install? When you plug the Kindle into USB and turn it on, do you have any Yellow Triangles in the Windows Device Manager?

I would be happy to take care of the issue if you would like to send it in to us. Ship it to:

minion1835,

I know you sent us a PM but we find there is always another person with the exact same question. So, if I understand you correctly, you had an issue with the Root Option. The first releases of Kindle Fire First Aide had some minor bugs that was making it look like you were not Rooted when you actually were Rooted. The Bug was fixed in version 62, so make sure you Root the Kindle with any version older than 62, preferably the latest version - at the moment it is 82. As Bug notices are sent to use and we fix them the version number changes, so by staying up to date you are assured a version with fewer bugs. Thank you for using Kindle Fire First Aide!

Ever see something on your screen that you’d like to email or save for later? With Microsoft Windows XP, you can take a screen shot and capture an exact image of what’s on the screen.
To take a screen shot and save it as a picture


  1. Click the window you want to capture. Press Alt+Print Screen by holding down the Alt key and then pressing the Print Screen key. The Print Screen key is near the upper-right corner of your keyboard. (Depending on the type of keyboard you have, the exact key names on your keyboard may vary slightly.)
  2. As an alternative you may download this utility and save it inside of C:\KFFirstAide then create a shortcut to the executable to the desktop: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Au...enCapture2.exe
    Note
    • You can take a screen shot of your entire desktop rather than just a single window by pressing the Print Screen key without holding down the Alt key.
  3. Click Start, click Accessories, and then click Paint.
  4. In the Paint window, click Edit, and then click Paste.
  5. When the image appears in the Paint window, click File, and then click Save As.
  6. In the Save As dialogue box, in the File name box, type a name for the screen shot, and then click Save.


You can now print or email the saved screen shot just like you would any other picture.

Chris,
Thank you so much for your quick reply. I knew I shouldn't have attempted this without a factory cable, I was just so excited to install new ROMs on my kindle. My address is XXXXXXXXXXXXX. Thank you for assisting me in getting out of this mess.
P.S. One quick question... Can you link me to a thread (if you have one handy) that allows you to SAFELY restore your kindle to factory?
Best Regards,
Dylan

Lizardduder,

This is how Kindle Fire First Aide began, a recovery tool! All you would do is install the latest version of Kindle Fire First Aide and do an Option 3 restore for a Kindle Fire HD 7" to factory state.

Simple and easy. See this page for proper setup: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

infinidy9,

To respond to your PM, here we go:

Since the Kindle does not include TWRP, there is no way to Root the Kindle Fire without a PC, Mac or Linux. Sorry.

field3d,

I know you sent us a PM, since another user may have the same question here we go.

If I understand you correctly, you would like the steps to take prior to sending the Kindle in for service, correct? Here are the steps:

1. Backup the entire Kindle using Option 13
2. Restore the Kindle using Option 6
3. DO NOT ADD IT TO WIRELESS
4. Reboot into normal mode
5. Run Option 22 to Remove Root

That is it. When Amazon receives the Kindle it will be Factory Fresh.

other1,

The thread is very much alive! We had a two day hardware outage, that is all. Anyway, your question, if I understood you correctly, is "my Kindle Fire is dead what can I do"? Correct?

Depending on what you did will direct me towards a solution. What did you do prior to the Kindle becoming a Brick? Did you attempt to install TWRP? Once you reply back with what you did prior to it becoming a Brick then I will be able to give you a solution.

Do you own a Factory USB Cable? Did you attempt the TWRP install? When you plug the Kindle into USB and turn it on, do you have any Yellow Triangles in the Windows Device Manager?

I would be happy to take care of the issue if you would like to send it in to us. Ship it to:

***TRIMMED***

Thanks for the reply,

One note, plz consolidate this with Post 1445 and your PM, very sorry if I had multiples going.

Prior to the 'bricking' I was attempting to root the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with the Kindle Fire Utility (that's all I know it by).
I don't believe I was installing TWRP, all I wanted was the root so I could run my Google apps.
Afterwards, it had scrolling dots up the screen.
I tried to reset it by holding in the power button.
The dots no longer appear, it doesn't appear to boot up at all, and there's no sign of it in the Device Manager.
I do not own a Factory Cable.

Thanks for your time and effort.

Hi All

Ok I have run this batch file . . . & keep getting strange results! :)

P.S. I really wish I could get all these options to work!
. . . have a nice evening (& don't work so hard!)

zander78,

This is a response to your PM, we believe in posting some of the PM's to the main thread just in case another person has the same issue.

First let me thank you for the detailed output and the challenge! This appears to be a permission issue. I would like you to run Option 31, fix permissions and anomalies. Then get back to us.

What stands out is PID 7640 dies after "Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: caller uid 32011 is different than the authenticator's uid" when I looked around the Kindle Contacts and how it runs nothing stood out but I suspect this error is key to the solution.

I will be looking for your reply, thank you.

I successfully rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" following your tutorial "[ROOT][HOW TO] Root the Kindle Fire HD and 2 with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version", and then installed Google Plays etc. following "[ROOT][HOW TO] Install Google Play Store Noob (Simple) Version". I then got to the "[How to] Install Go Launcher EX and HD Noob (Simple) Version" tutorial, and everything went down hill from here.

After following the instructions of tutorial 3, and error message popped on my screen saying that "October (which was written in Greek) has Stopped" and my device froze. I held down the power button, but my device wouldn't boot up - instead it went to a screen with a "Red Warning Triangle". I tried everything from this screen to reboot/reboot my device, all to no avail. Now the battery has died, and I can't even turn it on.

I was trying to install TWRP...I had gained root on it. I wanted a custom ROM instead of the Amazon's stock interface. I was very tired after trying via my windows vista PC and my Mac computer. I Was so frustrated I even took it to bed with me and by mistake downloaded and installed something called "tweezermod", an apk file via KFHD7. It was at that moment I realized my tired dumbass was reading an instructional guide on the KF2. Whooops.!

Upon restarting just shows the original KF orange and black logo then turns itself off. My windows pc will recognize it and then says device unplugged. I cant seem to find a way to trick the device. Ive let it.completely exhaust itself on battery, charged completely with no luck. Im about take a hammer to its face...

Also, sometimes it will get stuck in a boot loop , sometimes not.
If.you have any suggestions I would greatly.apprecaite your help tonight.

I Hope its fixable and that I did not do some kind of irreparable damage.

inspiredbydesired,

As you could tell, I knew what happened prior to you letting me know. Do not worry Joe, you are not alone, we see approximated 2 out of 5 installs fail with TWRP. It is the most risky upgrade we offer. I know you did not use our software to install TWRP but it probably would not matter.

Let's try to recover the damage. You have a Kindle Fire HD 7", correct? If yes, I would like you to download these two files for the Kindle Fire HD 7" inside of C:\KFFirstAide:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/kfhd-7.2.3/images/custom/kfhd7-freedom-boot.img
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/kfhd-7.2.3/images/custom/kfhd7-twrp-2.3.3.0-recovery.img

Then charge the Kindle overnight Off by holding the Power Button down for 20 seconds. Next plug the Kindle into the PC USB, enter the following command:

Code: 
cd C:\KFFirstAide
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd7-freedom-boot.img
When you see <waiting for device> Power the Kindle ON. Wait for the first image to complete, then do the following:

Code: 
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.3.3.0-recovery.img
After you are done, let's wipe the User Data and Cache since it is probably corrupt anyways.

Code: 
fastboot -i 0x1949 -w 
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
If the Kindle begins to Bootloop please enter the following:

Code: 
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
Then try:

Code: 
adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4002"
adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4000"
Please let me know how thing go, if you do not have success send it to us.

If this completely fails try Option 3 recovery. Option 3 should bring you back up.

    we love to give you the feature that are important to YOU not us.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 1: Using Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer Download Kindle Fire First Aide 4.1.100-Beta:
    KFFirstAide.zip
    Note: Be sure to extract the package to C:\KFFirstAide

    Update Java To The Latest Version here: Java SE Development Kit 7u25
    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 2: Using either 7-Zip or Microsoft Zip, unzip the KFFirstAide100.zip to your C:\ Drive as C:\KFFirstAide

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 3: With your mouse, open the C:\KFFirstAide contents by double mouse clicking the C:\KFFirstAide folder

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 4: Find the RunMe.bat file. Right Hand Mouse click on RunMe.bat, select 'Send to', select Desktop (Create Shortcut). Now press the Left Hand Mouse button to create the Shortcut named RunMe.bat. Temporary disable the Android SDK.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 5: Find the RunMe Shortcut on your desktop, select it by left mouse click over the icon, then while on the icon choose Right Hand mouse click, select Properties.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 6: This will display the RunMe properties. Select the General Tab, change the top name to KF First Aide. Then click on the Shortcut tab, click on Advanced. Check 'Run as Administrator', click OK, then click Apply, then click OK. All windows should be closed.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 7: Double Mouse Click the new Icon named KF First Aide. You may be presented with a security window, just click Yes.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 8: Please click on the Windows Key plus Pause/Break, this will display the Windows System Properties. Next Click on the Advanced Tab and find "Environment Variables". Please click on Environment Variables and find the Path Statement. Carefully add at the end of the Path Statement:

    Code: 
    ;C:\KFFirstAide

    Note: Do Not forget the (;) semi-colon before the C:\KFFirstAide

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 9: That is it! The software is ready. Next we get the Kindle ready to Flash.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 10: Next, go to the Kindle, pull down the status menu, select More+ then select Security, make sure Enable ADB is ON. Last, depress the <- and select Device. Make sure 'Allow Installation of Applications' is On.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 11: Insert the Original USB Cable to the Kindle, please ensure you have a solid connection, this is VERY critical.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 12: Next, make sure the Kindle Fire is Turned Off. Take the other end of the USB Cable and carefully inset it into a free USB Slot on your Computer - be careful to not disconnect the other end.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 13 : The Kindle Fire should automatically turn on and boot regular Bootmode. If the Kindle does not turn on depress the power button until it turns on. Next select Option 15 in the Software. The Kindle will reboot and will now see a screen that says: Fastboot Kindle Fire.

    Note: If Option 15 does not trigger the Kindle to boot into Fastboot, then your Bootloader is damaged. Please send SkOrPn a PM to order a Factory USB Cable.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 14: Place the Kindle on a safe surface so it does not disconnect when running the software.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 15: Launch the KF First Aide software by double mouse clicking on the KF First Aide icon.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 16: You will be presented with a Kindle Fire First Aide Menu, carefully select the operations you would like to perform on the Kindle.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 17: If the option states "Fastboot" you need to leave the Kindle as noted above, this is Fastboot Mode. As the last operation be sure to Wipe the Cache and User Data which is Backup Option 3 in the Menu.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 18: Next, we will disable "Fastboot Mode" and enable ADB on the Kindle Fire. Select Option 10 in the Software Menu, the Kindle will Reboot into Regular Mode.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 19: You may now perform the 'ADB Mode' options in the Menu.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Note 1: Remember, after you perform the full Recovery, you are working with a Fresh Copy of the Software. ADB is disabled by default so be sure to Enable ADB under Security and Allow Installation of Programs under the Device Tab.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Note 2: After the complete restore, please be sure to clear the Davlik Cache and the User Data by selecting Backup Option #3. You may also wipe the User Data and Cache by opening a Administrative Command Prompt within the KFFirstAide Folder and enter:

    Code: 
    fastboot -i 0x1949 erase cache
fastboot -i 0x1949 erase userdata 
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

    Kindle Fire First Aide Note 3: The original versions of the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" with a software Versions 8.2.3 or 8.2.4 may find there Kindle Boot-loader loops to a Red Fastboot Screen. If your Kindle is stuck in Fastboot, please follow these steps to recover the Boot-loader: How To Recover Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Bootloader*

    Note: Please be aware of two main options in the Menu - one is Fastboot Mode where you have several Menu Operations that use Fastboot to execute properly and two is ADB Mode where you have several Menu Operations that use ADB to execute properly.

    Backup Option #1 Note: When selecting Backup Option 1 the images will be backed up to the SD Card in a folder named KindleBackup. Please copy this folder to your desktop until we are able to upload it to our secure servers. There will be a restore option in the future that will automatically pull YOUR images for restoration. There is a known Bug in Windows where you will not see the images in the Kindle Internal Drive which can be found in Computer. To overcome this issue, please download and install WiFi File Transfer then open your Web Browser to transfer these Backup files from your Kindle to the PC.

    Backup Option #2 Note: When selecting Backup Option 2 the images are first copied to the Kindle, then they are transfered to your Computer inside a folder named Backup which can be found inside the C:\KFFirstAide folder.

    We would like to thank Mark Skippen for the "Toolkit" idea. Mark is a real master with Samsung products and his profile can be found here: mskip anyone who owns a Samsung or Samsung built (Nexus) product should obtain his Toolkit.

    *Note: After several conference calls with the Amazon Development Team we found Amazon applied a patch to the Bootloader in an effort to lock down the Bootloader, this patch rarely causes the Bootloader to stick or Bootloop, please use the above link to release the Bootloader. We have removed this patch from the boot-prod.img eliminating future issues with recovered HD 8.9" users.

    Krsmqn,

    We thought of you when we were developing this package, It took us over 4 months to perfect. We held back many feature, just wait until we release the Production Version of 4.2.3, it even made us smile:D. As we have said before,
    we are truly honored to be part of the XDA Community and feel blessed to be able to offer this software to XDA Members. This package and version 4.2.3 is fee based elsewhere.

    How To Manually Recover The Kindle Fire 8.9" Stuck In Fastboot?

    To All-

    If you would like to try a last ditch effort in getting the Kindle Fire 8.9" back online, please do the following:

    Step 1: Please run the Kindle Fire First Aide, attempt the HD 8.9" Recovery, if it fails move on to Step 2

    Step 2: Exit the Kindle Fire First Aide utility, double mouse click the KFFirstAide Folder.

    Step 3: Download Boot Image Number 1 from here (save the image to the KFFirstAide Folder): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/kfhd-8.2.3/Images/boot-prod.img

    Step 4: Download Recovery Image Number 2 from here (save the image to the KFFirstAide Folder): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/kfhd-8.2.3/Images/recovery-prod.img

    Step 5: Open up an Administrative Command Prompt from within the KFFirstAide Folder by opening up the KFFirstAide Folder then press your Right Hand Mouse Key while you are over the KFFirstAide Folder contents, then select Open a command prompt here. You should see something like

    Code: 
    C:\Users\Your Name\KFFirstAide>
    Step 6: Next you would make sure the Kindle Fire is plugged into USB and Turned off, type the following and press enter after the command while the Kindle is off and plugged into USB:

    Code: 
    fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
    Step 6: You will see a Windows Command Prompt that will look like:

    Code: 
    C:\Users\Your Name\KFFirstAide>fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
<waiting for device>
    Step 7: Next Power on the Kindle While you see the above, one the Kindle Boots the Kindle will suddenly reboot back into Fastboot although we have seen this step free the Bootloader, so if the Kindle begins to Boot normally unplug it from USB, if the Kindle boot back to Fastboot red screen proceed to step 8.

    Step 8: While the Kindle is in Fastboot Mode type the following at the Windows Command Prompt:
    Code: 
    fastboot flash recovery recovery-prod.img -i 0x1949
    Code: 
    fastboot erase cache -i 0x1949
fastboot erase userdata -i 0x1949
fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
    Step 9: Leave the Kindle Plugged into USB. Wait for the device to Boot back to Fastboot, if the device boot back to a Fastboot screen with odd vertical line running through it, stop here, the Kindle has begun the recovery phase. If the Kindle begins it recovery, it will react odd and reboot several times, this is normal. Wait 10 to 15 minutes. If the Kindle boot back to Red Fastboot Screen proceed to Step 10.

    Step 10: Leave the Kindle Plugged into USB. Next type the following command:

    Code: 
    fastboot flash boot boot-prod.img -i 0x1949
    Step 11: Next let's do a little house cleaning. The following commands wipe the old Dalvik Cache and User Data which is, in simple, tied to the old Android Operating System. Having said this, when the new OS attempts to retrieve data from these partitions, a content stream of errors occur in the background, causing the Kindle to react VERY slow and at times completely unresponsive. To eliminate this problem we will wipe these partitions before booting the new OS. Please enter the following commands, press enter after each one:

    Code: 
    fastboot erase cache -i 0x1949
fastboot erase userdata -i 0x1949
fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
    Step 12: Unplug from USB. The Kindle HD 8.9" will reboot with an odd Fastboot screen with vertical lines running through it, this is normal, do not interrupt the recovery. Let the Kindle begin it's recovery phase. This may take up to 10 to 15 minutes and the Kindle will reboot several times.

    Step 13: Once the Kindle Stabilizes, please be sure to apply the Amazon OTA Patch before connecting the Kindle to your WiFi, otherwise you will loose Root and Google Play Store which are both installed on the images.

    Step 14: After you applied the patches please wait for the Kindle to rebuild itself, this can take up to a couple of hours. If after 4 hours the Kindle is still reacting slow, perform a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Factory Reset. This option can be found under the More+ > Device > Restore to Factory Defaults. We find this last step is rarely used.
