Honestly i have tried a lot of roms give the kindle fire hellfire ROM a try located http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470253
I have tried a lot of roms but this one is really smooth the only time its laggy is one first power on and playstore is updating everything other than that i love this one and its 4.4.2......
So download that one from the link make sure to download the gapps to for 4.4. When you plug your kindle fire in click on the storage and when all the folders pop up post it there which is the ROOT of your sdcard. Put the gapps there to again when the folders come up just copy and paste, where all the folders are but not in the folder. Go to wipe click advance wipe check off system, data, cache, dalvik cache go back. Go to install, and check the rom hf-11 the link i gave you press ADD more zips add the gapps zip and swipe to flash reboot system and let it boot. Let me know if you need any help

@TheChosenOne1 here you go.
1)Go to TWRP and then go to reboot and then bootloader. This should take you to the yellow triangle again.
2)Now download KFU on the PC, keeping the kindle disconnected, select install drivers.
3)Install the drivers.
4)Now open KFU and connect the kindle. It should say
ADB Status: Online
Bootmode or whatever:4002
5)Now select install latest TWRP recovery.
Check on the top that it downloads the correct version '2.6.3.1'
6)Then go here and download any nightly
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=otter
7)Then here
http://d-h.st/oYG
Click the small Black Download one. Rest all are spam
8)Now go to twrp
9)Go to mount and say USB Storage
10)Transfer both the files(I know they are all big, but still)
Now say unmount on kindle
Press home (On the top right)
Check that TWRP version shows 2.6.3.1
Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select everything other than sdcard and swipe
Now go home
Install
Place where you kept your files
click on the cm-nightly first
Swipe to confirm flash
it will take time..
then after its over go home, not reboot system
select the gapps file
swipe to confirm flash
Now after its done reboot system
First boot takes lots of time be patient.
It will show cyanogenmod after the yellow triangle
Enjoy an android 4.4 KitKat Tablet!!!
If I helped press thanks

My computer is down and TWRP seems stuck in recovery mode? possibly. Every time I try to flash a ROM TWRP just reboots itself. I'm able to backup and restore fine but cannot flash. I'm running dualboot bootloader if that matters.
Is there a way to check what mode it is in via terminal and also change it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can flash twrp 2.1.1, then you can boot into your rom from twrp. It used to have a bug where it would not change bootmode. I believe it is now fixed with v2.1.1.
Hope it helps.

FINALLY! Damn, his laptop was being defiant and didn't want to install the fastboot drivers. Was starting to piss me off, but an hour later and I got it going!
I had to run
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
I haven't tried to flash a new ROM yet, I don't even care at this point, happy the Kindle is back up. Now time to try and get ROMs to flash...
OK so I reset my partition to stock, flashed the latest FFF (replacing the dual-boot bootloader) and flashed the latest TWRP 2.1.1 and it still failed to flash ANY ROM. I reverted to TWRP 2.0 again and tried and it didn't fail...yet. It started the flashing process but I'm not sure it'll complete (been flashing for about 5 minutes now and has not completed). Really not sure what the deal is with flash failing. This never happened before.

Hey guys! I need some help flasing this ROM on my Nexus 7, [ROM] Eclipse 2.1 Grouper - Build 1 - Welcome to the Dark!! (10/12/12)....
Every single time I try to flash it, it never works. I do the following, I install goomanager and flash TWRP recovery. I install all the necessary things to get it running. I transfer the ROM along with the zip file to flash google apps to the internal storage. I then boot to recovery, wipe/cashe/factory reset/devlik. But then I lose the files and cant flash the ROMs. I just flashed stock google jelly bean. Any suggestion/help with this?
Install Clockworkmod recovery, then make a full wipe and flash the rom

I normally just leave it in the download folder. In order to flash it, you just go into recovery and do your steps. When it asks for a location, just direct it to the folder you placed it in and flash.
p.s. don't forget about wipe

Nevermind! I got it to work! I left it out in the root folder like you guys said and the file was still there after the reset! Flashed ROM to the eclipse ROM! Thanks for all your help! :victory: ^_^
Glad you got it to work, but to answer your question, you wipe first then flash the new rom (so you have a clean slate). You don't want to install over other roms unless maybe if it was a minor update of the same rom.

So i got my nexus 4 yesterday and Ive always wanted to root an android phone and install a custom rom. So i unlocked the bootloader and rooted it pretty easy. I want to flash AOKP rom. i downloaded the rom file and google apps from their website on the phone. I went into CWM recovery and installed those files from the sd card, and it says its complete. I reboot the device and it just sits on the nexus logo screen. I dont know what i did wrong. Anybody got any ideas
It's normal for it to sit on that screen for about a minute or so.. How long did you give it?

When you first boot cmw, it does not stay permanently afterwards...
You can flash it again by downloading ROM manager??
Or somthing else..
Maybe use adb+fastboot to flash ROM..
Just to try if the files aren't broken.

You can't flash a ROM in fastboot, you can only flash images.
You can flash the recovery image through fastboot.
I would let it sit for more than just 3-4 minutes as well.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think you have to format /system and format /boot when switching from another rom, otherwise it bootlops.

you probably booted, not flashed the recovery. fastboot flash it via fastboot with the instructions above. or, to make it even easier, download the goo manager app. you can flash twrp recovery with the app. open the app, press the settings option, press install openrecoveryscript, press yes, then let it do its thing.

Follow the guide in that thread. It has not actually updated the recovery, since it updates a newer version of recovery than what you are using now.

Well, in the guide it is written :
# Updating Recovery: Go to recovery Mode in TWRP its better to wait for at least 30Sec after entering in recovery this waiting will ensure that your device won't Reboot when you are working in it. After update, reboot your device it is not necessary but it is okay to have one. DON'T ENTER IN SYSTEM GOTO TO RECOVERY AGIAN

I have the app TWRP manager, but I don't see a Recovery mode in it.
I don't understand what I do wrong ?
TWRP is the name of the recovery. I'll dumb it down for you.
Follow this procedure.
1. Go to the normal recovery (reboot phone, when blue LED lights up, press volume down. Then select custom or stable recovery.)
2. Download this zip to SD card and Install -
http://d-h.st/dWr .
3. Now reboot and press volume down when LED becomes blue.
4. Now, install this from SD card - http://d-h.st/dz8.
5. Immediately install the KitKat zip and then gapps. Also flash the update to the 29-12 build.
6. Reboot.

No, don't use the standard gapps. It's too large and fills up the /system partition. Instead, use banks Core gapps (the file called "12-14_GApps_Core_4.4.2_signed.zip").
Edit: Since you've already tried flashing the standard gapps, your system partition is probably full now. Here's what I'd recommend:
Go into Team Win (TWRP) recovery, and wait at least 30 seconds to make sure that it is behaving in a stable way. (Sometimes TWRP reboots suddenly within the first 20 seconds or so. It's a known bug.) Then flash safewipe.zip to wipe your system, cache, and data partitions. Then flash CM11, followed by the 03.01.14 Update, followed by Core gapps.

Which gapps did you use? If you used standard gapps (rather than core gapps), your system partition is probably full now. Read a few posts above yours for the solution.
Hi,
I achieve to install CM11 on my Defy MB525.
As far as now, everything is working well.
My previous try was bad (black screen and no access to the apps) because of the GApps ("full" and not "core" ones).
Thank you hotdog125 & Proverbs2.

Hi,
I achieve to install CM11 on my Defy MB525.
As far as now, everything is working well.
My previous try was bad (black screen and no access to the apps) because of the GApps ("full" and not "core" ones).
Thank you hotdog125 & Proverbs2.

Well in fact I have a little problem.
I no longer have the superuser application.
How can I root the phone again ?
