How do I know I have a KF2?

[xXezmacXx]

Just a few questions, need to get this kf rooted and romed for my son asap. Its for his learning.

1. My original kf broke so they told me they would send me a 2nd gen kf as an apology. Well how do I know the kf I got is the 2nd gen?

2. Can I root this kf2 I just got today the same way as my original kf? If not what's the easiest way to root the 2nd gen kf If i do indeed have it? My first kf came in a brown box, the one I received today was in a black one.

3. Will all ROMs work on the 2nd gen kf that worked on the first kf?

Thanks guys..

1, look for the software version,, an easy sign that you have a kf2 is the launcher(kf1 looks like a bookshelf) (kf2 has a single line of apps on the home screen, with a line under those for app suggestions).
2, NO look in the dev section for the root method, roms, and bootloader and recovery installation.
3, NO^^

The rooting method for the KF2 seems hard... I'll give it a go, thx.

lol.. two one click scripts is too hard?

Then Idk how you intend to get a rom installed. that includes clicking a button on an app that I made, clicking a button to boot into recovery, clicking install, choosing your rom from your sdcard, swiping across the screen, tapping a button to reboot... I suppose if you don't actually need it..

few more ?s before i attempt to root, jsut want to make sure i dont mess up this is for my 3yr old son.

to start the first part, rooting, im guessing i should follow this guide: [Root][Working 10.2.4]Kindle Fire 2 Root made easy - do you recommend this guide to root?

- but after I'm rooted how do I install a recovery, i guess twrp is still the one everyone uses? [ONE-CLICK] Automated Freedom-Boot and TWRP installer ??

- then i guess after recovery is installed i can just flash a rom, but only from the kindle fire 2 section?

- last, why is there only 2 roms out?

thx so much for your help, much appreciated.

perfect guide.

just let the app or script in that thread(MINE) run.
There is no alternative at this time.

Only the kf2 section, correct.

We only gained the ability to do this 9 days ago. The instructions were released 7 days ago to everyone, not just testers. People need time to work, it's a miracle that Powerpoint45 got his sgt7 rom out as quickly as he did. I recommend his rom, as Hashcode's rom is base cm10.1.

I use irc... it's always open, just join the channel #kf2-dev on freenode. I also don't know about kindle freetime. Maybe at some point in the future, but as I said, the development is only 7 days old.
