Okay,
I have a brand new Kindle Fire in front of me, I'm in the UK so I'm looking to switch it to CM7. The stock firmware is at 6.2 and I'm well aware that if it exceeds that I will not have access to the amazon marketplace and I will not be able to root to get full market place or flash any custom roms.
Can someone please point me in the right direction concerning how to get it rooted and on CM7 without it updating at all?
I'm using a Windows 7 x64 PC and I do not have a factory cable.
Cheers in advance
Alex
this would be a good starting point:

Use the kindle fire utility latest version to send a zergRush to root the device. Then, choose the TWRP option to install FIREFIREIFIRE and TWRP. Get into recovery mode and backup the system, grab the latest cm7 and flash your device with TWRP. Easy!
I tried to find a guide to install CM7 on the kindle.
I really dont know what is the latest ROM nor what is the easiest method.

I have found this video, but its $19 just for the instruction
Needs a easy and up to date rom and instructions!!
Thanks
I just bought a kindle fire today and rooted it and installed cm7. I learned all of it from YouTube. All I did was search "root kindle fire" in YouTube and one of the first videos was a walkthrough, also inside of the video description is links to all the files you need

good luck !
It's a real simple process, only problem is that the knowledge is spread out across multiple topics and when you're starting out, you don't even know what you're suppose to search. And even the tutorials, in their quest to answer all questions, tend to have too much going on and can easily overwhelm newcomers. I'm just going to cover the basics, search the forums for a bit if you need more details.
You're going to need to do 4 things:
1. Download the latest and greatest Kindle Fire Utility from here. It's a Windows utility that does all the heavy lifting of rooting your Kindle Fire, installing custom recovery, installing the Android Market, etc. for you. There are instructions on how to use it in the post, but it's really user friendly.

2. Open the Kindle Fire Utility, and root the Kindle Fire and install custom recovery from the menu. That sounds intimidating, but they're literally one-click operations. Kindle Fire Utility does everything for you. There are videos in the sticky of this forum if you want to see someone go through the process first. This will void your warranty, but that's half the fun.
3. Grab the file linked from the "If you're coming from a STOCK ROM" section to get Cyanogenmod 7, and the file linked in the "OPTIONAL STEPS FOR INSTALLING GOOGLE APPS" section to get Google apps. Transfer them to your Kindle Fire. I'm using this ROM for my Kindle Fire right now and it's really stable.

4. From there, you're going to need to boot into recovery and flash CM7 and Google apps. Here you should definitely watch a video before you do it, because you can really mess up your Kindle Fire if you do something wrong.

5. Enjoy your can't-believe-it's-only-$200 Android tablet.
UserDoesNotExist - really easy and well written - you should put this in an own thread as cm7 guide for beginners !
Hi, I am very new at this but I followed the video and was able to root my 6.2.1 fire and installed, TWRP, Superuser and MIUI. Right now I am not sure how to tell whether my fire got the latest 6.2.2 update and would appreciate some advise on this. I have tried to connect the fire up to my XP pc and am having problems getting ADB to work although I have removed rebooted, reinstalled many times, both manually and using KFU and KFU2.
Right now everything on the KF is working as it always has since the root so I am not in a huge rush to re-root if that is what I need to do, but if ICS came out tomorrow it would be nice to be able to try it. Also MIUI seems to be most for the japan market and so I don't understand a lot of it.

If you flashed MIUI your Fire is not going to get updates from Amazon
Thanks for the response. Would that apply to ICS or any other similar flash?
Yes it does
After pouring thru countless threads, trying to follow different and confusing instructions, clicking on endless dead links and missing files... I finally found success today with an easy fix to restore my NC back to working order (stock). My NC was really screwed up, and files in root were missing-- but this boot image fixed it all. To help anyone else who is having the same issues here are the instructions (hope it will get pinned).
First, check out this Youtube video by Ray Waldo-- http://youtu.be/cmuftsM4xpc
His website is down at the moment where the file you download and create a boot image is.. but I found it listed here on xda in another thread--
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562130 (go to post#8 where you can download the image for the 16gb version)
Are you using a Nook Tablet or a Nook Color? All the info you are providing is for the Tablet... perhaps you have a Tablet and that's why it got messed up in the first place... using NC ROMs on a NT
I have a nook color I haven't used in 2 years and thought I should do something with it. I discovered rooting 2 days ago, and I have no idea how. I've googled it tons of times but I can't find an up-to-date guide to root an NC using Mac. I want to use either MIUI or Mirage CM7, and I want to boot from the SD card. If someone could tell me how to do the entire process, that would help me so much! One more thing, I'm on 1.4.3 firmware.
