[Kindle Fire General] [-_-]:
I see many people having issues that are new to this kind of thing and here is a fairly simple troubleshooting guide that I have compiled that I think will help many of you get through rooting, Installing the Market, and installing twrp with no problems. This is a complete video walk through for those of you find the videos easier. I recommend that you watch the videos thoroughly before attempting this so that you can be sure that you make no mistakes…!!!

•	Start off with a stock Kindle on original 6.2.1fw

•	Go to this link for a video walkthrough to root the Kindle with Jcase’s Burrito root. All of the links are in the description of this video to do so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KapnjR89ICA

•	Now to install the android Market this is another video walkthrough that is from the same person once again all of the links are in the video description for downloading what it is that you need to perform this action http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...tion_598718&src_vid=KapnjR89ICA&v=rTkegVrnAvA

•	Now to install a custom recovery (aka twrp2.0) this is also another video walkthrough also made from the same individual. Once again all of the files needed are in the video description http://www.youtube.com/watch?annota...&src_vid=KapnjR89ICA&feature=iv&v=JqKZLMaRSgc

•	I have noticed that some people have problems getting stuck around 2:32 into the video where twrp is downloading and getting ready to install. If this happens to you and it is constantly “waiting for device” You may need to hit disconnect on your KF and run burrito root on your Kindle again, click “agree”,then click “You Rock”, Then click “root”. Once you do so you must re-open adb shell by opening a command prompt and typing the following:

cd c:\KindleADB to get into adb shell

adb devices to make sure your kindle is connected properly

adb root to get proper permissions

•	Once you have done this re-open the run bat in KFU v0.9.1 and select option 5 again and it will install the twrp with proper root permissions.

•	I have also noticed that some people also get stuck at 3:55 in this video at the firefire triangle. The fix for this is fairly easy and is explained in the video if you need a walkthrough step by step for doing this (Updating the drivers)here you go:

- Go to start Menu and right click on computer, Click manage

- In computer Management hit device manager

- I am guessing that you see your kindle connected in there with a yellow ! by it

- Right click on kindle and update driver software

- Click Browse my computer for driver software

- Click let me pick from the list of device drivers on my comp

- Click Next

- Click Have Disk

- Click Browse

- Navigate to your user folder in that window/ or wherever your .android folder is

- Double click on .android folder

- Double click on Driver Folder

- Now Click open

- Now click ok

- Click Next

- ClickInstall driver software anyway

•	If you also need a link for installing cm7 here is another video to do so also by the same individual. I do not recommend this as of yet until all of the bugs are worked out in this as I have heard many people have had problems with video playback or sound (mainly in ics) and usually end up flashing back to a custom rom anyway. It is your device though so it is completely up to you

UPDATE JANUARY 3rd 2012

•	Here is a link for a newer rom install called MIUI. This Rom is very smooth and the only thing confirmed not working at the moment (January 2, 2012 is video playback. There are however some individuals working on this issue and will hopefully have video working soon. Thanks to leeech for the MIUI port and nat3mil for the video. Here is the link for the easy to follow video tutorial.

•	Here is link on how to resize your internal storage (aka custom partitioning). This is called FireParted made by eldarerathis. This is good for those of you that think that they have too much storage in one place and not enough in another. Playing with partitions can cause you to lose data that is not backed up previously to editing partitions, so use at your own risk. I myself am going to use this to expand the storage on my sd card. Here is the easy to follow video tutorial.

Update January 7th 2012 This is a program to fix boot loop Problems easily (For Windows Only)

I noticed that many people are still having problems with getting stuck in a recovery boot loop, firefirefire boot loop (Yellow Triangle), Or even the kindle fire boot loop. This is a program to fix it automatically like the kindle fire Utility. I believe that it was made by Zombiepiratez, and he made this to change all of the headaches that many people are having with bootloop problems, proper file permission problems, and bricking problems, so be sure to thank him if this helps you. Once again this is a batch file made only for windows so for those of you that are not on windows, I will leave the common manual fixes below. Here is the link to his thread and download for the Fire Utility Unbrick:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have also heard of the problem with some people getting caught in a boot loop and see a constant Kindle Fire boot screen. To fix this you must open up your cmd and type:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also for people getting caught in a recovery boot (whenever they turn on their kindle they boot into recovery without hitting the power button do this in your cmd:

adb shell

su

idme bootmode 4000

reboot

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope that this clears up a lot of confusion for some of you weary of trying to do this to your kindle fire. I did all of this manually with my first Kindle. I have also used this method to be sure that it works and any problems that might come about when using this method and I have confirmed this to be successful. I really wanted to post this guide because I know that it is easier for some of you people new to this to follow along with a video. I know that some people say well there are a lot of tutorials out there but not one with a step by step and video links for a walk-through to do this whole procedure. If a mod could please sticky this I am sure that many would be greatful!!!

Remember that there is a thanks button…

DO not forget those who made this all possible:

Thanks to Jcase for Burrito Root & Vashypooh For KFU v.0.9.1 I would recommend that any of you that enjoy this and would like to see more mods such as these come out, to donate to these devs..
