No Keyboard

I know this is 100% my fault but I was hoping that maybe the genius of XDA could help me out here.
1. Was using phone fine earlier.
2. Flashed Cyanogen 5.0.2
3. Flashed the newest radio version that Cyanogen linked in that thread
4. Didn't test
5. Started playing with 'fastboot oem' commands
6. Gave up tried to send a text message
7. No keybaord
8. Long press -> Input type -> nothing listed
9. Settings -> Keyboard and locale -> nothing about the keyboard.
10. Reflashed latest Cyanogen image
11. Still not working
I think during my fun of fastboot commands I screwed something up. The phone works perfect except I don't have a keyboard, the keypad in the dialer still works. Apparently somewhere along the line I lost my nandroid backup (yes, I know fail on me) I am currently looking for a keyboard app on the web that has a QR code so that I can install a 3rd party one from market. Will let you know how that goes.

Here are all of the commands that I have run since I last closed the CMD window.
Update: I have found the HTC Touch input APK and installed that on my phone. I can now long press input type and select touch input but whenever the keyboard should be coming up I get a force close. I know that on my G1 the HTC Touch input was iffy at best so I am still looking for another solution.
Another update: Got 'Better Keyboard' it works! (yay!) but when I goto click on the voice input it does not. I checked my search widget and the microphone icon is missing from there as well.

Someone posted their nandroid backup of a completely (rooted) stock n1 rom, search around for it and try installing it. I ran accross it while looking for tutorials on how to flash the stock N1 rom if that helps

Update: NOOOO!!!!!!! I did a full wipe from the bootloader (factory restore, dalvik-cache, rotate settings, and what ever that 4th one was and reinstalled cyanogen mod 5.0.2) bad news: all of my settings and applications are gone, as well as my customer ringtones. Very very sad day.
Oh yea, fixed the keyboard issue and the voice input issue. So I guess we can count this as win

Should have backed up your apps with astro or titanium

Oh I had a titanium backup, I just had to reinstall them all, and reset their locations on the home screens, and reset all of my ringtones and notification tones a process that takes a whole 5 - 10 min.

TWRP on a MAC [DEF TUT]

OK, here it goes:
What you need:
Kindle Fire rooted.
Android SDK Mac.
Platform Tools installed.
How to get it:
Kindle Fire rooted: http://androidadvices.com/root-amazon-kindle-fire-mac-os-linux/2/#axzz1hWEX4K8B
Android SDK Mac: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Platform tools installed: Go to the tools folder in the sdk. Make sure fastboot and adb are there. IMPORTANT: Check fastboot by doubling clicking it (make sure it doesn't say binary doesn't execute).
Installing TWRP:
Follow this guide to a T with a few adjustments.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12343-how-to-install-twrp-20-linux/
Adjustments: Make sure that you are using the ./ version of the commands. When it says to input SU, input su.
FAQ: Stuck at fastboot, and adb is not connecting? Depending on circumstances, answer may vary. In my case, here is the terminal log (AMA is my computer):

Looking for help rooting kindle 5th gen v5.1.1

So I have tried to root this device for about 5 hours now and I am at the end of my rope... I have downloaded and used the tool provided by rootjunkie to root this device. I get to the point where it tried to inject the root and this is the result of that.... but the read out is telling me that the changes trying to be made to the SU is that the operation is not permitted.
Will post CMD prompt below..
ANY help would be lovely, as my kindle now has supersu but it says my binary needs to be updated and when I use root check it shows I am not rooted... Thanks for the help in advance from a noobie.

I am also looking to root these devices, I have been working very hard at replacing the default firelauncher with a third party one, without the need to root. If you're interested in collaborating take a peek at my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8...zon-fire-hd-8-10-remove-firelauncher-t3286646
If you need anything tested on my HD 8 device, please let me know and I will do so promptly.

I still have not been successful with this root, after installing the correct adb and the software to root still getting the same errors spitting out in the cmd prompt. Any idea as to why it not letting me replace the SU!?

If you have the 7" display Fire you are in the wrong forum. If you have an HD 8/10 then there is currently no root available.

cannot unlock bootloader?
