Hypothetically, would it possible to download the Kindle Fire software update and load it on the the KF using Odin? I'm just thinking that it might be a way to unbrick the KF.
I'm pretty sure that Odin only works on Samsung smart phones, I'm guessing that it will not work for the kindle, and if it did it seems like it may mess things up.

I just got my Amazon Kindle Fire 2 days ago and i love it. I want to know if ther is a full 100% original factory stock rom to restore and the step by step instructions to reinstall it? I wanted to root and try to install some roms but i need the full stock and recovery to install the roms. I never rooted the kindle before and i never used roms and i dont know what the full stock file is called or anything so i need info and help. I have successfully rooted my android phones and the samsung galaxy tab 7 plus. And i can change roms on them roms too but i have 0% experience on the amazon kindle. My mom got me this for me its a late christmas present and it will crush my heart if i screw it up with no way back to full stock. So i have to be extra carefull. Does anybody know if amazon is going to release android 4 ics for the kindle fire because that is what i want is the ics update and the only way i can see the ability to get it is istalling one of the roms from this site?
Only way you'll see ICS on this device is via CM9 or similar.

KFU will do a lot for you. You can root and install TWRP via the Kindle Fire Utility. Read up and you should be good.

Kinda depends on what your really looking for if you just want a fresh look then I would recommend side loading a launcher like go launcher or adw that way you can still make full use of the amazon market and with voodoo root keeper amazon video works fine if you rom your kindle then you can just use the Google android market with launcher you can have both what I do to make use of both is keep a backup of my rooted stock 6.2.1 and flip back and forth via twrp to stock or my favorite rom of the moment by just restoring a backup . Always make a fresh backup so you don't loose changes of apps that occur with one or the other sounds like a hassle but works for me. You may find once you rom your kindle you rarely go back to stock. Make sure you do full wipes when swapping and everything will run smooth. I'm sure that others have ways they work around being able to make full use of both the amazon market and the Google android market but I'm happy with my method and the diversity I get from trying lots of different roms
Hi everyone, Im really new in this stuff, Ive recently rooted my KF (6.3) just for try new thing, I aslo installed some google apps but the kindle app (reader) is driving me crazy, it's just a piece of *&#^ and I feel that the battery life is shorter than i remember so I was wonder what alternatives I have for the reader app or what is the best (safe) way to recovery my KF to an original stock rom (what i have). Ive seen a rooted 6.3 developed by paulobrien (check his/her post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916) and Id like you guys help me with this matter, Im what you geek call a NOOB, so please be kind with me...
Did you do a full backup in recovery before you loaded the new ROM?
If so just boot to recovery wipe everything and reload from your backup.

I am using the latest Jandycane version and I love it also. Made a video on it on YouTube to help people understand that everything works fine. It is amazing that it is better than AOKP milestone 6. I had many problems with it that I don't have anymore. The only thing I would suggest is AOKP ROM Control. But it seems the developers are on the right track with status bar UI changes.

Hello Peeps,
Firstly, Im new to this, secondly I'm nowhere near knowledgeable for this undertaking.
So, Ive got a first Gen KF, running factory software version 10.4.6. I got it last year for Xmas and basically forgot I had it until now.
I'd much rather run a version of Android that will actually let me do what I want to do.
I've tried downloading the latest version of KFU I can find v9.9 but it just says its offline, tried reloading drivers a couple of times, all setting are allowed on the KF itself.
Is there a newer Utility anywhere that doesn't require Linux?
I have a laptop running Windows 7 Pro.
I'm hoping someone out there can help me as I don't want to buy a tablet if I don't have to.
Thank you
according to your software version you have a kindle fire 2 !
look and go for help in the corresponding forum:

Yes and as a warning don't use kfu on and 2nd gen device, you will hard brick it.
