[Kindle Fire Android Development] rorogio:
it worked for a noob!

Hi,

I want to thank you for this excellent thread! It saved me hours of reinstalling all the extras/programs I had!

Anyways... it DID NOT save me time with accomplishing your tutorial!

As being a noob, I actually lost the SAME amount of time with UNDERSTANDING what the f*ck was your tutorial about. YES, I am frustrated about that!

I had to read some other 12 tutorials in order to understand and be sure I will not BRICK my KF!

As I am skeptical about you changing your tutorial in time, I will write down all the steps, and not only that short "Install and wipe dalvik and cache, then reboot"-- hell that's simple :)) !!

Well, this is what I would expect to see as a NOOB on your thread:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOTE: use only if you have KF version 6.2.1 already rooted, or you may brick your KF!

These are the steps I have done to use this update. They worked 100% for me, BUT I am not responsible if you make mistakes on the road or brick your KF.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Connect KF to PC

2.1 Unzip Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.2 (find it with Google)

(- If you haven't installed the ADB drivers yet, in Kindle Fire Utility folder find and start "install_drivers.bat"

- If you haven't rooted yet, in Kindle Fire Utility folder find and start "run.bat", choose option "3" (install permanent rot with superuser) and do all the steps to root KF

- Close "run.bat" window)

2.2 In Kindle Fire Utility folder find and start "run.bat"

3. In the new opened window choose option "5" (to install TWRP)

4. Wait for TWRP to be downloaded, and wait all the other steps to be accomplished by the script to install it

5. Restart KF (still connected to PC)

6. Copy nfx-update-kindle-6.2.2.zip on the KF

7. Disconnect KF from PC

8. Reboot your device into TWRP by shutting down the tablet, then pressing the power button when you see a yellow triangle with a fire icon in the center. Press power button until light turn orange. TWRP 2.0 recovery will be loaded then.

9. At this point it’s a good idea to create a backup of your system using TWRP 2.0′s backup option. You can then restore later if you need to. (You need about 1.2 GB on "sdcard" folder to be free for the backup)

10. Wipe [dalvik-cache] and [cache]:

Select Cache then Wipe cache.

Select Dalvik-Cache then Wipe dalvik-cache.

11. Go back to Home.

Select Install.

Navigate and select your nfx-update-kindle-6.2.2.zip.

Select "Flash" button after that.

After installed, select Reboot System.

12. After some 5-12min you should be running 6.2.2 updated from 6.2.1.

NOTE: use only if you have KF version 6.2.1 already rooted, or you may brick your KF!

These are the steps I have done to use this update. They worked 100% for me, BUT I am not responsible if you make mistakes on the road or brick your KF.

Please don't ignore us the noobs (less informed and often more lazy), as we are not always aware and can brick the device a lot EASIER than you the professionals do :))

Thank you very much for your work!
