PSU failed in the PC, Took everything pretty much out with it.

Kindle died the same day, Dropped down the stairs, well, more threw in rage due to the PC.


Good news however, I am able to work on the script, and hopefully I should have a new kindle shortly, House insurance covered it, so fingers crossed I should be back within a few weeks.

Also, I will be removing the DL for 2.2, As from what I can see, It seems to be very hit and miss with it working, works flawlessly for myself, however 9 out of 10 times, it wont work, I get a feeling its something to do with drivers, so, I'd rather remove it then risk bricking anyones Kindle.

So can the OP put *DEAD* or something in the thread title so we know this utility doesn't exist anymore (at least not in a stable state, so the DL link has been removed)?

    After toying with my kindle for a while I realized just how hard it was for new users to actually go about "freeing" there Kindle Fire 2.

    Current Public Version: 2.0 - Download on second post
    Dev Version: 2.1

    So, here is Yet Another Kindle Fire 2 Utility (YAKF2U)

    Code:
    rem Disclaimer  
    echo ------------------------------------  
    echo *   
    echo * include std_disclaimer  
    echo *  
    echo * Your warranty is now void.  
    echo *  
    echo * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,  
    echo * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please  
    echo * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this Utility  
    echo * before using it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if  
    echo * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.  
    echo *  
    echo ------------------------------------

    Currently it all seems to work well on my Kindle (Apart from rooting, still working on that, it is in the menu, but as of the current build, will do nothing.)

    Please, DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, IT IS POSSIBLE TO BRICK YOUR KINDLE, AND I WONT HELP YOU.


    Please view the second post for the changelog and download information.

    I know its not the best code in the world, it could be structured better, it could be more optimized and cleaned up, but it works, that's the main thing.

    To use the utility you must have ADB enabled on your device.

    Its also helpful (But not required in most cases) to have the Kindle Fire Drivers on your system.
