Hey guys, I've got a KFHD 7" running system 7.4.9 and I was able to root it today successfully and I would like to install the LiquidSmotth 4.4.4 ROM on it.

The problem that I'm having is that I need a recovery likw TWRP 2.7+ but the instructions are way too complicated and they mention a 2nd bootloader which requires a special cable, what the hell, is it that complex?

I appreciate if anyone can point out a more human way of getting TWRP 2.7 or CWM for KK on my Kindle v 7.4.9.

Thanks!

Alright. Let's get you started.
First of all,use the Kindle fire system restore tool to downgrade to 7.4.6 OR 7.2.3. Either will do. Next,root it using the Bin4ry tool and download the TWRP 2.7.0.0 image with the freedom boot image that is corresponding to your software version. Then,flash them using FireFlash or Flasher or manual method.
Bingo.

Hi man, I'm getting "No such file or directory" when I try to reboot in fastboot mode, here's the output:

Code: 
C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices -l
List of devices attached
D025A0A024121UQQ       device


C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
[-] exec: No such file or directory

C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools>

When I ran that command on the Kindle I got a root prompt and I allowed it.

Under the device manager I have listed: N2A ADB Mode / Kindle ADB Mode | HD 7

This command will work with a normal cable if you have root.

So I ran it again and it kept says "waiting for device", my Kindle is rooted with "Mulai Root" and I used root checker to confirm that it is rooted.

  1. I turned the Kindle off.
  2. I issued the command on the command prompt.
  3. The command prompt said "waiting for device".
  4. I plugged in the USB cable.
  5. The Kindle turned on.
  6. The Kindle booted all the way to the launcher.
  7. The command prompt kept saying "waiting for device".

I would appreciate any more ideas.
Thank you!

I hae a big problem, I sued the Kindle Fire First Aid to restore to 7.2.3 and now my kindle stays on the boot logo.
How can I restore it now?

EDIT: Never mind, it actually booted up.

Hey, I managed to get downgraded and now I'm on this part:

TWRP 2.7.0.0 image with the freedom boot image that is corresponding to your software version.

I'm confused if I should install a 2nd-bootloader or not, I installed fire flash already, let me know if you can help me with a link with the next steps to perform.

Thanks

I think I kind of managed to do it, the problem now is that TWRP loads but the ROM I flashed didn't boot (Liquid Smotth 4.4.4), I'm going to start a new thread.

Thanks
