maybe you would have to update the drivers at this point

Hello, i used the Kindle Fire Utility to root my Kindle Fire on 6.2.2 and i did the root and on my kindle i flashed FIREFIREFIRE but when i tried to boot up into TWRP recovery i noticed that it wouldnt it would just restart the boot process. I will admit that i am sort of a noob and dont really have a whole lot of experience with android developement but i didnt know if could go on the kindle fire utility and flash TWRP because i was afraid of bricking my kindle. Any thoughts??

Turn off your KF.
Turn on and wait for yellow triangle (in older FFF) or logo(in FFF 1.3).
At this moment press and hold power button until light goes red. You will boot into TWRP.
I did and the screen flickered and turned on. I used Kindle Fire Utility with BurritoRoot3. Once it was on my kindle i used BurritoRoot3 to install FIREFIREFIRE and i dont think it flashed TWRP but i didnt know if i could still flash TWRP and if you can how?
You still can use fire utility to flush TWRP. Get the last version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889.
Or use gscript : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500935 for install touch CWM. It not recuire adb, but with CWM you cannot restore TWRP backups.
Or try :

or

I actually re rooted my kindle after the 6.3 update and it automatically installed twrp which I use to install cm9 kang.

Hello,
Yesterday i tried to load a Cyanogenmod custom Rom on my Kindle Fire HD (7") and followed an instruction to do so. I rooted the Device via ADB and FlashFire11. The KindleFireFirstAide tool was part of the tutorial but i didn't really understand how to use it. However, in FireFlash11 i installed a file called kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.3.img as the main Boot section and a file called kfhd7-twrp-2.4.4.0-recovery.img as recovery section. Before that i put a file with the custom ROM (cm-10.2-20131115-UNOFFICIAL-tate) on the sdcard.
Everything worked fine (after some troubleshooting) and finally i booted with that blue "Kindle Fire"-symbol. In the TWRP (v2.4.4.0) menu i installed the custom ROM. everything worked fine. Android loaded safely.
My mistake was that i wanted to install a new version of the cyanogenmod (cm-11-20131126-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip). I wiped all the userdata and tried to insall it via TWRP. But this time it said "Fail".
Now i have no ROM installed. The Device will only boot into TWRP.
The only ROM i have saved to the SDcard is the failing ROM. Under the point "reboot" in the TWRP menu i can choose "Bootloader" wich works.
I desperately tried figuring out how to get the files from a working ROM on the device to install it via TWRP, but i cant access the device via ABD. But one thing does work: If i set the device to "Bootloader"-Mode, i can access it via KFFirstAide. With option 10 of the KFFA i can reboot the Kindle in normal mode. This proofs to me, that i can access the Device in a way. Isn't it possible to send the working ROM Data to the Device via Fastboot?
Sorry for my limited knowledge in this area. And sorry for my bad English, i'm from germany
Would be so nice if anyone could help me. If you need more information on my case i will post it immediately.
For clarification:
I need to know how i can load a custom ROM on the Device to Flash the Device Succesfully. Unfortunately the Device doesn't appear in the Drive Selection of my Windows (8.1). In the Device Manager it is featured as "Kindle Fire HD 7" with a little triangle. During boot the Kindle appears for short period of time as ADB-Device.
I need access to the SDcard of the device to load the working ROM on it. But how do i get access?
EDIT2:
I found a thread about fastboot commands. There is a command as following: fastboot -i 0x1949 update <filename>. Is this a way to install a ROM using fastboot, or is there no way to install a ROM via fastboot?
SOLVED:
I found out that the device had to be accessable (ADB) while in recovery. So looked at my ADB drivers. in a thread there was posted, that TWRP 2.4.4.0 is to old for the newest ADB-driver (which i had installed). So i installed older ADB drivers. Then the device was recognized as ADB Interface. I used the command "adb push" to load the working files to the sdcard. In TWRP installed the Cyanogenmod and now everything boots and works fine
thanks

Only root exists for the 2013 KFHD7 at this time. No custom ROM's yet.
Hi,
This is my first post here but I have gotten so much help I wanted to give back. I have been working on rooting my Kindle fire HD 6 over the last couple days and after searching multiple tutorials I have successfully rooted with these steps.
To begin:
1. You MUST backup any data on your device before starting this process
2. Download all the files from here and Fire OS 5.4.0.0 here
3. Get your downgrade here
3. Follow the instructions below (modified from user @marathonjon reply here https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950/page54)
Here we go for the install:
1. Enable ADB on your device and set up ADB on your computer
2. Download 4.5.3 firmware (you should already have it from the download above)
3. Connect device to computer and run "adb reboot recovery" (assuming you have adb enabled on your tablet)
4. Use volume keys and power button to navigate to "Apply update from ADB"
5. From computer type "adb sideload update-kindle-20.4.5.3_user_453011120.bin" (the files need to be added to the same folder your terminal is currently running or you can specify the file path)
6. From tablet select "wipe data/factory reset" (this is why we did the backup earlier)
7. From tablet select "reboot system"
8. Complete setup (do not connect to a wifi network yet, this is very important!)
9. Disable OTA updates ( adb shell ; pm block com.amazon.dcp or "Debloater"), I used the above jmz Kindle fire tools to disable the OTA, just sideload it and you are good to go.
10. Sideload Kingroot & let it root (this can take a while, just let it go)
11. Flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-ariel.img TWRP image via Flashify (backup stock recovery first, again very important!!) (you will need to sideload the included Flashify APK)
12. Download all files above and place them in the Download directory of your kindle
13. Boot into TWRP, flash 4.5.3_twrp_recovery_full_ariel_string.zip. (use adb reboot recovery for this)
14. Do factory reset using the default TWRP wipe settings
15. Flash FireOS 5.4.0.0 (rename *bin to *zip so that TWRP can recognize it)
16. Flash 5.5.2_1534_stock_recovery_uboot.zip, this will put the required 5.3.1 bootloader back(PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DO THIS STEP!!)
17. DO NOT REBOOT YET! If you do you will probably lose root!
18. Flash Supersu.zip (included in the download
19. Clear cache/dalvik in TWRP
20. Reboot to recovery: adb reboot recovery. This will be stock recovery now because TWRP doesn’t boot with 5.x bootloaders.
21. Reboot to FireOS (could take ~15 minutes, it might seem like it is stuck in a boot loop but it will go)
The above instructions served me well, as with all posts on this site PLEASE USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! And post any questions below
I just followed your tutorial and it worked for me... Amazon has FireOS 5.4.0.1 for the update file now and it still worked following your steps. Thank you!
Could I keep root without updating to 5.4?
---------- Post added at 06:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------
Also Kingroot fails. Was the exploit is uses patched?
Bricked Device(unbricked it with DoLooper tutorial) improvising,Step 9 says sideload JMZ Tools how do you do that without connection? only way i can think is es explorer which you have to have connection to install
Any news on this? Thinking of attempting
I attempted this to downgrade from rooted 5.12 to 4.53 so that I could install twrp and get to the latest load.
I am stuck on step 8. After I flashed 4.5.3 and wiped, I attempted to sideload kingroot and the jmz utility but they did not install. I imagined that it failed because they are from unknown sources and that setting is disabled once 4.5.3 is loaded. So I rebooted with wifi off, attempted to adb reboot recovery, and I got to a recovery menu with 2 options, none of which are adb sideload.
How can I proceed? If I enable wifi to download kingroot, it will attempt to update, correct?
EDIT - I enabled wifi to download kingroot apk since I can't sideload it, and surely enough an update to 4.5.5 downloaded. Damn.
RE-EDIT--I just caught my initial mistake. I used the command adb sideload for kingroot and jmz instead of adb install. Another damn. I am downloading kingroot and rooting while the update to 4.5.5 awaits installation, which I won't do.
It boot me into kids edition...?

Glad to hear! I have had a blast with a rooted kindle, including installing google and using root required apps.

It worked great for me, considering that that the tablet cost me $60 brand new I took the risk. It is up to you whether this is something that you want.
I have a kindle fire hd 7 4th gen, running 5.6.0.1. Will this work for me?
Will this work for my hd 7 4th gen running fire os 5.6.0.1?

IDK, it has been awhile since I ran this and I have not stayed up to date on the latest firmware. As always you can try it at your own risk and post any questions here. I will do my best to answer.
I do not recommend trying this if you rely on the tablet for anything, things can go wrong and you could lose everything including the tablet.
Have Fun!
On step 15, does it have to be 5.4.0.0? I'm having trouble finding a download for it since the link in OP leads to 5.6.0.1
edit: found a link (https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/fire-hd-8-2017-downgrade-to-5-4-0-0-5-6-t3719639) but it's for FIre HD 8. Will that work or does it need to be specifically for the HD 6?
edit2: nevermind, didn't look hard enough, found it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/fire-hd-rom-links-t3173102

Yes, that is the latest version that is still root-able I believe.
Still works with update 5.6.1.0
Still works thanks alot!
Yup, worked for me as well. Thanks @RobbotCC from another CMH kindle newbie
Stuck on step #13
My KF HD 6 gen 4 shows it is running OS 4.5.3. I can boot into TWRP. ADB sees my device. I need to add ".\adb" before ADB commands.
The problem I'm having is that I cannot flash the TWRP 4.5.3 recovery. When I have the TWRP launcher showing and type " .\adb reboot recovery" the system reboots right into the TWRP launcher. When I power off then on, it boots right into the Fire OS. I never see the system recovery screen, so I can't flash the recovery zip file.
Help? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
