[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcymag:
I apologize if this is a newbie question, but now that my kindle fire 2 updated itself to 10.2.3, I have lost root. I've also noticed that no roms or bootloader workaround has been done for the kindle fire 2.

So my question is: if I have some experience with linux systems (although maybe not with android specifically), how can I get started contributing to the rom community? I ask this in the context of kindle fire 2 of course.

I found a few docs like this: dubdubdub sourceconference dot com slash publications/bos12pubs/android-modding-source.pdf

I noticed that /data is now under group perm rwx :system , and maybe there's an existing path towards getting system group perm from standard adb shell
