Not really. The worst thing that happens is you break something in /system and have to make a factory cable to get into fastboot.
Use CWM recovery +FFF

Go with cwm... If you ever want to change ROMS Some have a reboot to recovery option and if your using twrp it will just cause a bootloop instead of going straight to recovery

i`ve a rooted kf w/twrp installed.
i want to make dual boot on my kf.
should i restore my kf to default and remove twrp first?
any ideas?
thx, jsisaev
From my understanding you would use TWRP to load the saved ROM.Get the stock version the way you want it and your custom ROM the way you want it then back up both and use TWRP to switch between them. This is what i used to do before I made the switch permenant.

I had a problem with my kindle fire and I have to return it to them. I have 6.3 and TWRP. I'm just wondering if the only thing I need to do is unroot and uninstall TWRP? I have in the past installed cm7 and cm9.

Just wipe everything, go back to stock, uninstall TWRP, and unroot

I read in another thread that I could download the 6.3 update again, change the .bin to .zip and install that and it should put me back to orginal stock?

Yep thats right..
alright, thanks for the help guys!
I'm coming from a Kindle Fire. My Nexus 7 arrived today in Mexico, purchased on eBay
With the Kindle Fire there was a DOS-based Windows tool to enable root and install FireFireFire and TWRP.
I'm going to use the stock ROM for a while and see how it works. I feel no need to use a custom ROM with it.
I found Nexus Root Toolkit and Google Nexus 7 Toolkit on ht development forum. Which one are you guys using and why?
As recovery, do you recommend CWM over TWRP? TWRP worked very well with my Kindle Fire.
Thanks.

Personally I don't use any of the Toolkits. I used fastboot commands to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery.
As for recovery, its personal preference. I recently changed from CWM to TWRP on my Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus as I didn't really like the new "blobs" process of backing up roms on CWM.
Nexus 7 toolkit. It wont even take u 5 mins to get it rooted and have a bootloader installed

Google Nexus 7 Toolkit works fine Although I'd recommend learning how to use ADB & Fastboot - they're incredibly useful.
As it's a Nexus device, unlocking your bootloader and installing a custom recovery is really simple: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741395.

theres no need to install a bootloader since theres one already on the device, thats why it boots up. what you need is a custom recovery. easiest way is fastboot. laziest way is a root toolkit. but the easiest way to mess up your device is through a root toolkit too.
Thanks for the answers. I have some experience as I rooted and flashed my Kindle Fire multiple times.
I guess I will have a go at the toolkits first and install TWRP (I already know how to use it). About ADB and Fastboot, I have little experience using them via command-line, but will keep in mind the suggestion to root and install a custom recovery manually.

Just a hint, there's currently a bug in bootloader where you can't get into recovery without the tablet being connected to a PC, some roms let you reboot directly and that works but if your device can't boot its a invalid thing to say

I have a question about the Amazon OS. I have successfully installed CM 10.2 on to my Kindle Fire HD 7. I did have to get a fastboot cable thought after I screwed things up the first time. I used the KFHD Recovery tool and restored to 7.2.3. After that, I installed TWRP and 2ndBootloader.
So, does this mean I don’t have the Amazon OS on my Kindle Fire HD? I ask because some of the tips set to disable OTA updates. If the Amazon OS is not running, why is that even necessary? Is that only when you root?
If I still do have the Amazon OS on my Kindle, do I boot in to it using TWRP? How would I access it?

Since you said you have successfully installed CM 10.2, you're now running CM. TWRP and the second bootloader allow you to flash/install other ROMs. Since you're on CM, your memory has been cleared therefore you no longer have Fire OS installed.

Only thing to add is that you still have your Amazon ID. It will always retain the KFHD ID

After you used the restore tool you you installed twrp and bootloader.
You did not mention flashing cm10.2 again. In that case you are still on amazon os

Hi,
I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 with 7.2.2. In the video you flash kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img which fits to the version of your installed Firmware.
Which files must I flash to avoid bricking my Kindle. And where can I get it if I have to use another img-file
Thanks

The freedom boot file is just a boot.img file not a system.img. A boot.img is the file that boots the system. So it will not change your system. If you want to update the device to 7.4.6 and have 2nd bootloader and twrp installed just search for a stock 7.4.6 rom and flash it in twrp

When using FireFlash you flash a freedom boot.img and TWRP. This can only be done from stock. After stock, you need a zip with the necessary files in it. This is something that gets buy newer folks.
That said, I have seen a lot of complaints about random un-fixable shutdowns all over. Even a system restore and letting Amazon push OTA updates is not fixing it. Probably some hardware or software issue. If it were me, I would see what Amazon would do for warranty.
Edit: Oops, I meant to quote Elgari. Sorry about that.
Thanks! It helped a lot !
Great videos.They help me understand what I have been reading about for a week make sense.
Not sure what to do?
OK, My kindle rooted fine, I got TWRP and 2nd bootloader to installed and did a backup, downloaded cm11 and gapps into my download folder,got into TWRP and did a wipe added zip files hit install, everything was going good and about 4 minutes into the install I got a message on the screen saying that said "system UI has stopped" then the screen went black. I waited a few minutes hit the power button and now I'm get a "cyanogenmod account has stopped"
Do I go back into TWRP and install my backup or try installing a different cm version ?

Hello
I followed your video step by step and got CM 11.0 installed. But I can't get Google Now to work. After opening Google app, it asks me to get Google Now. If I say yes, it asks me to add a Google account. After doing that, if I open the app again, the search bar opens. No option for Google Now. Any help would be appreciated.
