How Do I Flash CM7? - Kindle Fire General

I've never done this and couldn't find anything up to date online :/ I'm rooted and adb is working - I just need to know where to put the contents of update-wipeall.zip: 'META-INF' 'system' and 'boot.img' - also, I'm pretty sure I use TWRP to flash ROMs, please include how to open it in your answer
Thanks - you guys are so helpful!

This was 2 posts below yours are you blind?

Thanks!! No lol im not blind I just didn't know that would tell me how to install cm7 by the title.
Edit: Those instructions only tell me to copy the update.zip to sd card - what do I do with the 2 folders that came with the latest cm7?

You have to flash Fire Fire Fire and TWRP. The easiest way to install is using Kindle Fire Utility from developtment section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
When you flashed it you see a yellow tiangle when you boot your Kindle Fire. Press the Power button until Power LED turns orange. Now the Kindle Fire boots into TWRP and you can flash CM7.

I used kindle fire utility to install twrp already - I think it installed FireFireFire too since I've seen the yellow triangle screen already.. if I'm wrong let me know. If I'm right - how do I get back to the FireFireFire screen to do it?

Fire Fire Fire is a bootloader you can "see" it everytime you boot your Kindle Fire.

Ok I just rebooted my kf and I do have FireFireFire installed - i know update.zip goes in sdcard but what do I do with the two folders that came with cm7

may i ask did you install fire fire and twrp since on a kindle you rooted with burrito root?

what folders?
you don't extract update-wipeall.zip at all, leave it as it is, just copy it in your sdcard.
When KF boots up keep power button pressed till TWRP shows up. Perform a backup if you want, so you can revert to Stock. Otherwise click Install and locate update-wipeall.zip on your sdcard, click it and then click Flash.
Don't worry about those errors, just click Reboot system when everything finishes.
Don't keep the power button pressed, let it boot by itself.
Enjoy CM7!

I used kindle fire utility .9 to permanent root (which installed burritoroot) then used it to install TWRP which I'm guessing installed FireFireFire as well since I see the triangle when I boot. Thanks for the info I didn't know I wasn't supposed to unzip it - I'm about to try now, thanks!

Oh my my my, we have a newbie here. Yikes!!!!!! Read the TUTS. Also if you don't even know not to unzip the rom, you shouldn't being doing this kind of stuff. You might end up making a 200 dollar paper weight.

This is how we learn!

Does CM7 supports flash on browser?

Im not a complete noob lol this is just my first android device - ive got cm7 running and everything is going great so far - does anyone know the name of the tweak that lets you change the volume by sliding up or down on the side of the screen? I saw someone with it in a youtube video but they forgot what ot was called lol

ima noob. suceeded. now a question :)

i recieved a kindle fire for xmas yesterday (awesome wife ) and i have successfully rooted the device, installed cm7, and am loving it so far. im in a bit of an information overload though and thought maybe someone could help me out with something... everytime i restart the device it shows the yellow triangle before going into the cm7 boot animation. is there any way to bypass this and go straight to the boot animation??? which brings me to my second question. is there any way to replace the cm7 boot with the original kindle fire boot animation???? im sorry if these have been answered but i couldnt find then. thanks
The triangle is the recovery. Why are you rebooting your device often?
You should not need to reboot your device regular basis.
im not just didnt like it being there when i do

Without it being there then you would have no option to enter recovery mode, I suggest closing your eyes and counting to three when you reboot

Not sure whether my kindle fire is rooted

sir,
i have tried to root my kindle fire using the latest kindle fire utility package 0.9.6 . After running the file run.bat
i got following displayed on my pc screen....
at various places it said failed and at last there it was written permanent root has been installed.
But i do not find any difference in my kindle. Please guide me i am a beginner
I have attached screenshot of my pc to let you know what actually KFU has done.
If not rooted what should i do now...and if rooted how can i use application with wifi access using proxy.
help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have a feeling that KFU has no extra checks in it to see if it really is rooted. That would explain why it says its rooted after all the fails. I would say your device is NOT rooted.
Here's a couple things to check.
1. Is the super user app installed? Look in your apps for it.
2. Do you have FireFireFire bootloader installed? Turn off your Kindle wait a few seconds then turn it on. Does the splash screen have the words "kindle fire" in blue? If so then you have FFF installed.
3. Last check. Is TWRP installed? Turn off your Kindle and turn it back on. This time as soon as the blue "kindle fire" appears press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds. That will get you into your recovery where you can and should make a backup now.
If all of these tests work then kfu was successful and you can start flashing roms or whatever else you wanted to do after you rooted it.

I think the part you are referring to is in the 1st screenshot which says that he didn't already have it so it was downloading. I am betting that it was properly downloaded and installed. I don't have screenshots to compare from when I rooted mine but I remember it looking just like his. Worst case if he tries the steps I posted he will find out it didn't work and can continue from there. It should take about 2 minutes to try it so he might as well before downloading files he may not need.

He is definitely not rooted. It says check_root failed.

One sees that adventure is adventure, but as well that with only a bit of patience reading the archive almost all the "casualties" could have been avoided....
My kfhd is on. because when I press the power button and turn on the device is displayed kfhd logo in orange and immediately placed the red screen and my pc does not detect when connected by USB cable manufactures. What I can do? Help me
That's the point, calm down and read this thread:

Start with the basics before doing something worse. Read from the beginning to the last (83th) commentary. Is the correct form of doing things.
But first of all, the necessary cable is not that of the Kindle, is a especially modified one named "factory"that has 5 volt on the middle contact(5 pins) of the micro-usb, unused in your "manufacturer" cable.
You can find that special cable here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20380015#post20380015

Proceeding at all with 7.4.7 is at own risk. I have a used tablet coming in the mail and will be here Tuesday. I will restore and test out rooting with binary and try some KFFA things with 7.4.7. I won't know anything until late Tuesday evening. Maybe someone will come along with some information before then. If not, I will let you know then.
Edit - Because this is possibly new hardwareI have edit my response to say just don't try it until you here from those who made the scripts give the all clear. I thought this was just an update to the 2012 Kindle Fire HD and the new Kindle Fire HD. This may not be the case. Until it gets sorted out, probably best to wait for the devs to sound off.

How did you tried? Did it root? Did you have a factory cable?
Try this...
Get Bin4ry's root and extract the 'fakebackup.ab'. Get ADB set up and working and enter the following:
Code:
adb restore fakebackup.ab
If the restore screen pops up, where it says "restore my data" at the bottom (don't press on it though), then there's a good chance they didn't patch the exploit. If the ADB restore hasn't been disabled, I would say go ahead and try to root it. It probably wouldn't hurt to make sure the factory cable still works though.
Confirmed as working

You can try again. One will install some launchers with it too. Be careful though. Using this tool on the 4th generations is not widely tested. Not that I know of anyway.

Hi, My kindle is not the newest one, so I assume it's normal Kindle fire HD 7'', I tried to run it another few times with different setups on my pc etc. same error every time. It's weird that it says it's rooted but I can't get most of the thing working, perhaps I should try to put in recovery, alt boot loader and install some different rom. But because I'm not confident about my root I rather use amazon-handicapped device than get a brick.
I would not proceed until your root is working properly. Sometimes the rooting process has to be repeated. You will want to get a fastboot cord just in case if you try to install ROM.
Just the other day I had to run root and restore 4 times before it took. Ended up I got the one that installs Apex launchers as well and just installed that afterward.

Hi, to install 2nd bootloader and twrp and then cm11 factory cable isn't needed. Kffa want downloading files to downgrade to7.2.3 so I got it manually inhaled then twrp and cm11 no problem. But then cm11 started crashing so I rebooted kindle butit dinner start, in twrp it reported that storage can't be mounted, I have pushed Rom using adb but it wouldn't install due to storage issue soI used that tool to recover kindle but after successful installation I got into a reboot loop. Factory reset cable is already ordered. After cm 11 issues I don't know if I'll try it again.

Firefox OS tester wanted!

I was bored and decided to try to build a rom and see what happens, i don't know any c coding so its a bit of it it compiles and works great, if it doesnt work then i'll need a c compiler and both my friends that know c coding dont get online often.
Anyways about the details, i have sucessfully built a 7" and 8.9" Kindle Fire HD version of the rom, soupmaget is going to test the 8.9" rom, but i need a 7" tester prefereably with a fastboot cable incase things go south like the first time where it deleted the second bootloader from the system partition, though i think i fixed that. Anyways if you are interested in testing this pre-alpha build of the rom, plz reply back and il send you a link in a private message to the rom. On another note te tester should also be prepared to do a full backup of their sdcard of their device including the sdcard because i have not ever used this os so i have no idea how it handles the sdcard data, while it shouldnt wipe it i just think it would be a good idea in general.
I can test it.
I have a fastboot cable and the only files that I have are books anyway.
OK sweet I'll pm you the link with instructions.

First test:
Downloaded and flashed just fine. After wiping Dalvik/CACHE and rebooting into system it did show the Kindle Fire Animation followed by the TWRP animation and then displayed fastboot. Holding the power button down for 20 seconds powered it off and access to TWRP was still possible. Flashed a nandroid and all is fine. Let me know when the next update is available.

So ok im confused it just went into fastboot after trying to boot or something? If thats the case there must be something very wrong with the kernel i think.

Correct. The flash was successful (in other words it did not fail.) I click reboot into system from TWRP. I saw the Kindle Fire animation followed by the TWRP animation and then, then stead of the ROM animation, it went strait to fastboot. Then I force powered it down, was able to access TWRP, wiped and then flashed my backup nandroid and the Kindle booted with no permanent issues. But yes, something is not right there.
Basically, rather than booting into the system, it booted into the bootloader.

*facepalm* i'm going to have to check the kernel image, this whole setup i used is kinda rigged because this os was designed to work with a specific version of jb aosp, and cm 10.2 is close to that revision but not exact so i used aosp as my source and had to modify some of hashcodes file sto get it to compile, but it finally did compile, seeing as there were problems here and there i'm going to take a wild guess the boot.img is using the standard header and not amazons, and thats just a wild guess at best, i don't know what a normal header would do on a kindle, but i will try to decompile the boot.img and see if it errors out like a usual kindle boot.img would if you dont shave off the header with dd.
Man i hate double posting but i thought i'd mention i think what i guessed at was right because it split immediately upon running the splitting script... so now i guess i need to ask hashcode wtf is going on and how to fix it since it's not compiling the boot.img with the correct header.
Sounds like a plan.

On another note te tester should also be prepared to do a full backup of their sdcard of their device including the sdcard because i have not ever used this os so i have no idea how it handles the sdcard data, while it shouldnt wipe it i just think it would be a good idea in general.

I will next time I make a build after fixing this boot.IMG issue I have, I haven't seen hashcode in the IRC since Wednesday and I haven't been able to fix the makefile issue yet, I have to transfer some of the code from cm's /build/core/Makefile to mine, specifically the parts that let's board_custom_booting_mk work to generate the booting correctly. You would think there would be a patch for aosp that does this, but I guess most devices don't need a custom bootimg?

I have understood that the boot.img should go hand in hand with the system you build,
so a custom boot.img should be mandatory
excuse my bad English, I use google translator
Any chance of a build compatible with the kf2?
I'm too broke to buy the newest fire hdx that's on sale for $180 today,so I'm holding on to my 2012 non-hd fire.

Keep an eye on Swappa. People are dumping their older models for cash for the newer models.

I plan on building it for all supported kf's, right now I'm working out the build kinks and seeing if it will even boot. Just fixed the makefile issue but I may have introduced another issue by using a certain patch to disable recovery a while back, so I may need to grab a fresh copy of the make file and repatch it, I'll pm when it's more ready to test which will be soon.

Send me a PM once you get the boot.img thing fixed. I have a fastboot cable, too.

Hi,
Just for understanding right. Is this for the Kindle Fire HD KFSOWI (3rd gen)?
If yes then I absolutely want to try your Rom.
Thanks in advance.
