You should still be able to get it into fastboot and

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot.img fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-2.3.3.0-recovery.img fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Then when Hashcode gets done with update.zip

Code:

adb push update.zip/sdcard/

while in recovery and flash it after some wipes, then select reboot system. Keep it charged till then. Good luck

tried it to get the same results, I take I'm doing something wrong as typing in the commands as you and the OP show me a "cannot load" error, so I end up typing its exact location fully.

You used bin4ry to root shift plus right click inside that folder then select open command window here. Run the commands from that terminal.

Everything went smoothly...thank you. Though I will admit, I was definitely holding my breath while it was rebooting.

Nice work Hashcode.

Is there a stock ROM that we can install in recovery or should I just restore my saved raw partitions in fastboot? I have CM10 installed, but I need to test some things on the stock OS.

How safe is it to go back and forth? Is there anything we need to know about how this works to avoid any mishaps?

I should add that by setting this up and blocking updates from Amazon will guarantee keeping root.

As updates are released by Amazon, I can repackage them complete with root + Superuser and then users can safely apply the update in TWRP.

I forgot to put up the stock flash .zip that I put together. I'll try and get it uploaded tonight.

Added a stock Amazon OS flash .zip (8.1.4) for use in TWRP here:

got it working. Turns out the fastboot mode shares the same adb driver and I have to install the driver manually. Once driver is installed, it works great.

Thanks Hashcode

Just wanted to say thanks. I recently wiped my adw launcher settings accidentaly. I didn't want to put all my icons back so I went into recovery and walla, everything back like I had it.

Would you mind to tell me what driver exactly did you install? I suppose you get into fastboot with device on by Onemeila tool?

Enter fastboot by running:
"
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader
"

KF will reboot into fastboot and the device name in device manager is "Jem-PVT-Prod-04" without any driver.
At this point, device is in fastboot mode but normal fastboot commands will NOT work.

Manually install the amazon adb driver(should be somewhere like c:\programs files\amazon\drivers) name is "Android Composite ADB Interface", ignore the Windows warning and contiune. Fastboot commands start working after that.

Than you very much. Installed a driver with different method (I choose "kindle fire" from devices list and windows installed proper driver), but finally it works. You showed me the way. THX

Re: [BOOTLOADER] Install 2nd-bootloader for Custom ROMs on KFireHD 8.9

I'm having an issue when trying to flash the recovery.

I read through and someone renamed the file to just "recovery" then used that command but it still didn't work? Any ideas?

Honest answer.

Idk..

lol... I'm a noob at this and am lucky I haven't bricked any of my devices yet. I have successfully rooted and flashed ROMs on a Nexus 7, HTC amaze 4g, t989 s2, and t999 s3.... But this kindle is giving me a hard time.

For today I will quit while I'm ahead, with it rooted and running GO launcher.

Any suggestions on how to edit the paths? Yes, I realize that's a dumb question but I have never played around in command prompts until now.

Thanks

Well, if the prompt when you open the command window says C:\Users\HP> like in your screenshot, make sure kfhd8-twrp-2.3.3.0-recovery.img is in that directory, otherwise fastboot won't find it.
