kindle Fire

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.

when you follow my guide it will walk you through video tutorials. when you install twrp you are able to back up your stock rom and flash back to it at any time... Here is my easy to follow guide and video links with troubleshooting just in case you run into problems that are similar to everyone else that is new to this... Good luck and remember to hit that thanks button if I helped you:

[Q] Amazon Video player (sorry i'm a KF noob)

I'm sorry if this has been answered already but searching for amazon video gave me way to many results.
I just bought it yesterday and I'm running Energy Cm9. I wanted to know if there is a way I can still play my amazon videos.
BTW ICS saved me from returning the KF. Hated the stock 'Amazon Experience'
Thanks.

Can you link to the post that worked for you? I just got mine today and there are a few posts to root. But it seems not all are recommended.

All I did (i'm using windows 7 64) downlod the Kindle Fire Utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889. Also I have my windows in DEV mode since I run unsigned drivers for others tasks.
I just followed that guide and was rooted in less then 10 mins. Just took me a while to realize I had to press the power button to get in to TWRP.
also i just installed perm root then TWRP. my fire was on 6.2.2. After that tried a few roms. Found ICS to be the most user-friendly. CM7 , just felt unnatural to me.

Registered Fire...

I have a rooted KF in stock rom but I just wanted to know if I install a custom rom my KF will still be registered to amazon as a fire or just as another adroid device? and will the apps in the Amazon appstore that say XX (Kindle Fire edition) still work or not?

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

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.

Ok that was kinda correct, one difference being that's completely untrue if you count the first gen kf, because that kindles methods will brick this device(only said that because it can be interpreted in a weird way) also the other main difference is if you don't know much about using adb and don't want to have to push your rom, i suggest sticking the rom and gapps on the device ahead of time because the latest version of freedom boot causes you to bootloop into twrp after you reboot, which means either you have to have it on their ahead of time or deal with having to use adb push to push the rom onto the device.

I meant it is same method for the hd, sorry for being unclear.

I have the same problem!
My dream is install the cyanogen mod and the second bootloader
but..
I am afraid about the 7.4.8
could I downgrade to 7.4.6 ?

Wow people used to not care about this problem last time it happened, I'm surprised at all the posts I'm seeing about this. Simple explanation, follow the tutorial of your choice for putting 2nd bootloader + twrp on your device, but make sure you put the ROM on the device first because the fact that we don't have a more up to date freedom boot means that it will bootloop into recovery when the process is finished. So all in all the method is fine, just put the ROM on ahead of time so you don't end up having to push it on to the device with adb.

Yes you can just downgrade it but it's kinda pointless and wastes time, you would have to download a few hundred mb of data just to downgrade it, and then wipe all those changes shortly afterwards when you flash a new ROM. Just seems easier to me to do it without the extra work.
