[Q] Question about TWRP...

[MinerBoy004]

Hello! I got TWRP on my Kindle Fire (w/o bricking ) and I was thinking about getting CyanogenMod on it. And lets say i try this but my device bricks, can I access TWRP and get adb access to push my backup back or factory reset it? I am running 13.3.2.1. I think you could access TWRP while bricked, but I just wan't to be sure.


Thanks.

Yep, that is the point. You do have to be careful not to overwrite your recovery partition, but as long as that is in tact, you are fine.

Thanks! So I can install CM11 safely without bricking.

If you follow the how to, the chance of a brick is minimum (and if TWRP working, and bootloader unlocked to almost 0)....
But, if you start the how to, you read in first line that you idealy be on 3.2.3 (you are on 3.2.1)
So your choice, update before installing CM11, or do it afterwards....

Oh, but I was talking about any rom really, but CM 11 came to mind, I would google how to update my device (w/o bricking) but I am going to wait for CM11 or CM12 to b fully fixed
