Edit:no FC yet

Goo doesn't always update the file size on the webpage during large uploads. Have him double-check the md5sum.

If someone has the time to do a video guide for this that would be great.

Congrats!

(that's all I got)

Congrats and thanks again to you and all involved!
Just soldered my own factory cable this evening from a spare micro-usb cable, and I could start my kindle in fastboot mode
Too late now so I'll take a deeper look and try to flash tomorrow evening and give some feedback - also have to find this damn fastboot command, wouldn't shop up in my terminal?!

You will probably need to install the Android SDK to get the fastboot command.

And all the image files that need to be flashed via fastboot need to reside where fastboot.exe is just to clarify.

If you follow the noob guide on rooting the kindle fire 2 it tells you to download two files, inside of either of those two files is adb and fastboot as well as all the needed drivers, if you place the files needed to do this process inside of either of those folders holding down control while right clicking inside of the folder ( making sure nothing is highlighte) select open command prompt here, that way you should be able to do this process without the sdk

Let me know how it turns out and hopefully that will save some people the headache of getting their environmental variables set up correctly ( my computer likes to play stupid )

and nobody mentioned me.. come on, I thought I was listed in credits as moral support, and kid who flashed without a fbcable.. I know how to do it, and you could too if you just read up enough on idme and bootmodes..
No more from me, I don't want to be the one who is in trouble for bricked non factory cable owning users..
