xiro49,
First you need to build the ROM, did you do that using CM10 development tools? Once you build, you have about a 10% chance of booting CM10 with SafeStrap. Also, SafeStrap project is on hold, for several reasons, one they cracked the HD Bootloader.
Finally, we saw some questions with regards to the size of the CM10 ROM. The CM10 ROM averages 142-149 MB without Google Apps. So this is not a problem with SafeStrap. If you really want to build a copy of CM10 around the Kindle Fire HD 7", you have the CM10 Development Environment and you are OK with a totally unstable ROM send us a PM and we will reply with step-by-step tutorial on how to build and deploy CM10 on the Kindle Fire HD 7" or the Kindle Fire HD 8.9".

Hello,
I have rooted my kindle fire HD successfully twice now and after working well for a few days, it will unroot.
I used this process: http://androidforums.com/kindle-fire-hd-all-things-root/656683-root-kindle-fire-hd-7-a.html
I also used Kindle free to help install google services. I was going to install the paid version but if it keeps doing this I don't want to spend the money.
Why does it keep unrooting?
Thanks
Try and root it again and use this update-defeat script

If anyone needs help with this new update and rooting and 2nd bootloader stuff still, this is how I did it:
Use kindle fire first aide (available here on xda) to reset your device to stock Amazon 7.2.3. Obviously backup whatever you don't want to lose first with your preferred backup method. Make sure to also disable ota updates also before you proceed.
Once you're back to (pre rooted!) Stock, sideload the fireflash.apk (do a search on xda to find the app) use the directions on that thread to get yourself setup with a 2nd bootloader and twrp recovery in like two clicks of an app. If you can't find the thread, just let me know and I'll provide links. Just MAKE SURE you flash the 7.2.3 bootloader
That fireflash comes with before you flash the new boot.img and twrp recovery. It's such an easy method, and you can find all the tools you need via searching xda for fire flash, followed by hashcode's 2nd bootloader thread. 7.3.0 freedom boot (nevermind that your bootloader won't match, it should be 7.2.3 and freedom boot should be 7.3.0, and twrp 2.4.4.0. Make sure all your boxes are checked, flash the files AFTER YOU FLASH THE 7.2.3 BOOTLOADER!! And you should be all set. From there you can even flash newer Amazon updates if you like via twrp. feel free to contact me with any questions, and major shout outs to the devs who made these apps and programs available to us.
P.S make sure you read the instructions for fireflash.apk on its page so you're familiar. This way always works for me to get around anything Amazon, but you do of course run risks when altering stock software. I highly recommend buying a fast-boot(factory) cable just to make sure you can always restore stock using KFFA if something goes wrong. I got mine from xda member SkOrPn, and I fully suggest if you don't own one get one first. Better safe than stuck waiting 3 days on a cable to save you!
Sent from my cm10.1 KFHD
see my previous post
Here are all the files.actually steps: KFFA to revert to 7.2.3, sideload fireflash and get it opened. You will see a red warning message that you have the wrong bootloader. Flash the one they offer. Reboot kindle (I do, May not be necessary). Load the other files onto your kindle, freedom boot and twrp. Open fireflash again, and match up boot.img and twrp where they obviously go in fireflash, flash the files, and boot into recovery :good: good luck! Hope this helps anyone in that boat
Whenever I attempt to restore the update to a previous version in KFFAide the command window stays at "daemon started successfully" and does not progress beyond that point. Any advice? This happens for any option I choose in KFFAide.
I actually have not tried updating KFFA since I installed it originally, so I can't say what the problem might be. I suggest posting on the first aide thread with your question, and looking for similar posts with solutions over there. The community on here is wonderful, and I'm sure you can find a fix on there it you try

I would go to the Kindle Fire FirstAide thread on here. You can run that and go back to 7.2.3 which will make flashing the 2nd bootloader and installing custom roms much less of a headache.

I second this link. I have now rooted and put a custom ROM on two Kindle Fire HDs and have a third on it's way. I am getting this for just over $50 on eBay because they are blacklisted and can't be registered with Amazon. I put CM 11 on them and love it, they are a true android tablet now.
I'm glad someone got some use out of the updated images.
