Hi all, I've been doing my research for nearly a week now on unleashing my kindle fire into a full android tab,
What I can't seem to find is any info on whether I can root, and install a kitkat style Rom onto my software version,
I don't just want go launcher I've decided I want a new os and I like the system on my HTC one so I'd go as close to that as possible, any help would be greatly appreciated,
Will twrp, firefirefire and the kfu all work with my version? Many thanks

So forgive me for rlbeing "that guy" but I think other people are wondering the same.
I'll try and keep this post updated with links to any ROMs and DEV Twitter/Gootle+/GITHub info so we can keep an eye on development. But first we need to know what DEVs we have on board and any current projects.
DEVs:
Known ROMs/Projects:
timbrendelaz - System Dump (Link Please?)
JackpotClavin - CWM
Remember, most projects linked in this thread are likely highly volatile to flash, so please be diligent and read the thread before using anything linked.
Note: If I'm lacking on keeping this updated and you are interested in taking over the thread please let me know. I want this to be as open and helpful to our users as possible.

I've got a system dump and I'm currently working on a ROM based on that. It wont be able to be flashed easily by the masses without CWM but I know that also is a work in progress. I will keep ya'lls updated on my progress which is slow at the moment because my wife is very pregnant

How do you navigate and select things?

Is anyone interested in also working on usb cable triggered fastboot? IMO it's the biggest blocker for custom recovery & rom development
possibile alternative is to flash a u-boot that always enters fastboot (just for devel purposes).. well, but really it's jsut a different risk of bricking
My 2c
yeah i'd be interested in that i pm'd you
Sorry for the long wait for an update, busy with the family. I'm going to be scouring the Android Development forum to add more to the list.
Hi fellow Kindle Fire owners. I have put together some videos on this device and wanted to share them to help out any noobs. Enjoy

Been running latest CyanogenMod ROMs on my kf for like a half a year already, (currently running TWA's cm10.1 JB4.2.2 ROM) but these vids SURE would have been helpful back in the day when all I knew about android was angry birds & YouTube app etc.
THANX A LOT!!!! :thumbup:

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

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.
