What is w8? M8 I haven't a clue what you mean, the Amazon jem (fired 8.9) is a very very old device with low memory, the guys here done a great job managing to get it updated to 7.1 nougat ( I think was the last build)
Most of the os and software you mention is built for devices a lot newer and the old boy jem just simply wouldn't cope with it.
That being said though if you trawl back through the old posts, you will find relevant releases and methods that will make the jem a much more better experience than it was with fireos:good:
There is bin4rys method which is the most common for root access on this device, once you have root you can push, a freedom-boot image of your choice 8.4.3 or 8.4.6 which will let you install and then.update TWRP.
Once TWRP recovery has been installed you will be able to flash custom roms such as resurrection remix, crdroid, lineage viper and so on and so forth. These have been based on newer versions of Android to give the look and feel of a more modern device
As I said @illeonid the xda search bar is a brilliant tool, if you can't find it on here or Android filehost then it's not really worth bothering about really. Put a bit of work in and you'll get result bud

Did you read any of my last post? You have to search the forums, the files are within these fabulous pages of knowledge and they're plenty to do the job m8.(AGAIN USE THE SEARCH BAR OR BROWSE)
You are some guy illeonid
a lazy one though haha http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fi...-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet/
That's where i started then upgraded twrp etc with the files and tutorials here.
Please note it is really difficult to find recovery, boot images etc if you want to return to stock
But since I like you :silly: if you goose it I'll post links to kindle fire HD 8.9 first aide and the KFHD SRT folder also.
If you need them let me know they're on my cloud
Once you're rooted with the above tutorial ( though I recommend XDA forums method this one is simpler)
You can utilize these files or whatever you choose, I'm just giving you examples and the mechanics of it all.
https://mega.nz/file/PBFDBQDa#usdDhaydbUOCotr387ZMP4aiqvTqpFNqlfhTjYzg1Qg Twrp 3.0.0.2
https://mega.nz/file/GUcXkIJb#oKMJxEsCj2me6CGctnrnLJ-Eqhe6HyXmwkRCsCwlhoU crdroid 7.1.2(firehd89) (Custom rom)
https://mega.nz/file/LAcnHaTR#KJSiMZZgE6RG0WHkGk79S4hjfJ22vepFZ2zsQd7PgRk (OpenGapps 7.1 arm Pico) ( These are optional to get Googleplay store etc if you want it)

hi ,
This is a really old device and you will struggle to get most modern apks to run up to sccratch on this kindle .
The way to recover it is is follow the recovery steps shown in OP .
Youll find it difficult to find any files for this device now ndeven i dont have them on my cloud now due to an upgrade to a samsung T580.
sorry to break the news to you but development for jem has long gone and unless youre lucky to find working links to necessary files in the archives theonly thing really worth doing with this device is using it as a matt for your coffee to sit on.
regards

8First off download the following files
KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4
img files
KFFirstAide32
or
KFFirstAide64
Extract KFFirstAide whichever version 32 or 64
Copy the folder to c:\
rename it to just KFFirstAide
add that to your path
Code:;C:\KFFirstAide
Open the folder KFHD_SRTv2.1 then open images folder and copy system.img
paste it into the KFFirstAide folder
then open the two other img files you downloaded and paste them into the KFFirstAide folder as well
you should now have:

All three files in the KFFirstAide folder
now
Open up an Administrative Command Prompt from within the KFFirstAide
go to the c:\ drive hold the shift key and right click on the folder KFFirstAide then select Open a command prompt here.
enter this command at the prompt
Code:fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
it should come back with
< waiting for device >
If you are stuck at the red triangle screen
Make sure your device is totally off hold the power button for like 30 seconds until it turns off
next plug in your device with the usb cable
it should boot into fastboot mode
and show something like:

and finally
Code:fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
once it starts rebooting disconnect the USB cable
once you are back up and running you will be at version 8.1.4
to get to current version
you can use KFFirstAide and this time run
c:\KFFirstAide\RunMe.bat
use the option enable OTA updates
you will have to make sure ADB is enabled under security first on your kindle
once you enable OTA updates then unplug the USB
Next :
Charge the battery, and then connect to a Wi-Fi network.
Swipe down from the top of the screen, and then tap Sync.
The software update automatically downloads in the background and installs after the download is complete and the device is asleep.
Your Kindle Fire will restart during the software update. After the restart, the message “Kindle is updating” will appear on the screen and when it's finished you will be at the latest software version.
