Due to the rapid progressions made here which can get rather confusing, it seemed a good idea to poll which rom people feel is the best Windows Mobile 5 rom & if possible, why.

Thanks!

WM5 ported from Wizard (Version 2a) is the best one

WM5 ported from Himalaya is the best for BA.. Stability, speed, sesponse time seems the best with this rom.

Hi,

I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 with 7.2.2. In the video you flash kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img which fits to the version of your installed Firmware.

Which files must I flash to avoid bricking my Kindle. And where can I get it if I have to use another img-file

Thanks

I would like to install 7.4.6 (have 7.2.3) with fire flash (y have just intalled 2nd-bootloader + TWRP 2.6.3.1), but I cant

I download kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img from Hashcode, run Fire Flash and then select in Boot Partition the Hashcode 7.4.6 img. Select Apply stack override and flash. The process run Ok, but I´m still in 7.2.3. Any idea of what iI´m doing wrong?

All this things I tried is because my Kindle shutoff itself without any appareant reason. I read related posts (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380191; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2161719) but I cant fix the problem.

Thank you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Tomsgt:
The freedom boot file is just a boot.img file not a system.img. A boot.img is the file that boots the system. So it will not change your system. If you want to update the device to 7.4.6 and have 2nd bootloader and twrp installed just search for a stock 7.4.6 rom and flash it in twrp
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Elgari:
Ok, thank you. I ve installed stock 7.4.1 rom from Hashcode (no find 7.4.6). Work good, but my problem of shutdown continue!

Thanks again
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Tomsgt:
sounds like you have a bad battery or maybe something loose inside the device
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
When using FireFlash you flash a freedom boot.img and TWRP. This can only be done from stock. After stock, you need a zip with the necessary files in it. This is something that gets buy newer folks.

That said, I have seen a lot of complaints about random un-fixable shutdowns all over. Even a system restore and letting Amazon push OTA updates is not fixing it. Probably some hardware or software issue. If it were me, I would see what Amazon would do for warranty.

Edit: Oops, I meant to quote Elgari. Sorry about that.

Great videos.They help me understand what I have been reading about for a week make sense.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] mrdave60:
Not sure what to do?

OK, My kindle rooted fine, I got TWRP and 2nd bootloader to installed and did a backup, downloaded cm11 and gapps into my download folder,got into TWRP and did a wipe added zip files hit install, everything was going good and about 4 minutes into the install I got a message on the screen saying that said "system UI has stopped" then the screen went black. I waited a few minutes hit the power button and now I'm get a "cyanogenmod account has stopped"

Do I go back into TWRP and install my backup or try installing a different cm version ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Tomsgt:
Either is file restore or download a different cm
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] mrdave60:
I think cm11 fully installed, I can adb to my kindle and get a device number and I can see all the files in the kindle on my laptop. I just don't have any user interface screen on my kindle.

Problem solved I held down the power button and the volume up and down buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds ,then release them and when it booted up every thing was fine. Running cm11

Hello

I followed your video step by step and got CM 11.0 installed. But I can't get Google Now to work. After opening Google app, it asks me to get Google Now. If I say yes, it asks me to add a Google account. After doing that, if I open the app again, the search bar opens. No option for Google Now. Any help would be appreciated.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] kultyper:
Hi,

First of all, im a total noob at this. I followed all the instructions and successfully installed CM10.2 with no issues. When I decide to go ahead and switch to CM11 in the future, do I just reboot into TWRP, backup, wipe the data, and flash CM11 and the gapps for it as I did for CM10.2? Or will I need to take additional steps since its not upgrading from stock kindle os?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Tomsgt:
Yep thats it you got it backup, wipe, and flash
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] kultyper:
Thanks for the reply. One more noob question. Would it be safe to download the ROM and gapps zips straight to the kindle device and go from there? Or perhaps downloading the files and putting them into dropbox and downloading from there. The only reason I ask is because I used a friends PC to free my device and steps seem harder to do on macs. I did see some md5 checker apps in the Google play store. Not sure if this process is safe to do.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SafinWasi:
Yep. It's perfectly safe. Just use ES file explorer to verify the md5 checksum of both the zips(just in case).
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] rknandsprkn:

I'm trying to figure how to do this on a mac but when i download the files they are not in a zip i can open the folders but have no clue what files i need for this to work when i plug my kindle in to my macbook its say i need an android file transfer to do anything but charge it should i make it simpler on my self and find a windows machine or am i making this harder than what it is thanks in advance for any help i can get

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SafinWasi:
If you're running a KFHD 7" (2012) you can head over to this thread and get started. You'll find all the files you need there. Also,you need Android File Transfer application since you're running a Mac. Get it here

If you want to do it the easy way,use Windows. It'll be a whole lot simpler than Mac.

hopefully this isn't too dumb of a question...

I'm trying to get this up and running for my daughter who has mild cp (cerebral palsy). I don't want to bind a credit card or gift card to her amazon account for obvious reasons... my objective is to be able to get her android app store on this device so she can download all the free apps she wants. (Amazon requires a credit card or gift card to download FREE apps). I have the device rooted, but from watching the first few minutes of your video you say to download the file manager. I can't do that without binding a credit card or gift card to her account. Am i going to have to get her a small gift card to get this done so that i can download the apps needed, or is there another way? Google search of this problem wasn't much help...
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SafinWasi:
You can use snappea to transfer the apk file of the file manager. Before that,enable "Allow installation of applications from unknown sources". You can transfer it via WiFi or USB. For USB,android debugging must be enabled.

I Have A Question, Now That I Am Rooted, How Can I Get The Google Play Store Installed On This Thing.

And Is There Any Stable ROMs Available For This Device?

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SafinWasi:
Does your Kindle have a front facing camera? If yes,you have the 2012 Kindle fire HD. You can flash a custom rom after flashing the 2nd Bootloader and TWRP recovery. If your tablet is a 7",you can go to my Flasher thread and use it to flash them. If it's an 8.9", you can search the 8.9" Forums and follow Hashcode's thread.

However,if it does NOT have a front facing camera, you have the 2013 Kindle Fire HD. As of now,no custom ROMs are available for it due to the locked bootloader.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dartsmandan:
Thanks for replying, It was 7.4.6, the same as the one shown in the video and I did the wipe and everything the video said. I'm sure it has something to do with the boot image that is inside the cm 11 zip as my device doesn't boot past the bootloader. Also I downloaded the latest rom and kk gapps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SafinWasi:
Can you post a link to the rom you downloaded? Also,be sure to check the md5 incase your download was corrupted.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dartsmandan:
goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/cm11 and its the cm-11-20131126-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip file. I have also checked the md5 and the codes match so I don't think they got corrupted.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dartsmandan:
I can boot into TWRP just fine and I have a factory cable anyway. I tried the latest version first which gave me the fuzzy screen and then I tried one of the earlier versions which resulted in the same. I might try and flash a different rom altogether like kindology to see if that works.

Well, Kindology doesn't work either just gives me the same fuzzy screen. I must be doing something wrong in TWRP then.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dartsmandan:
Okay, without installing anything in TWRP my device shows the fuzzy screen. All I did was backup and reboot and it showed the fuzzy screen. I must have done something wrong installing the 2nd bootloader.

I have restored the kindle several times using the Srtool and I have restored the factory recovery and boot using this which restores my kindle to 7.3.0 then I update to 7.4.6 manually with the bin update file. Could this have something to do with my fuzzy screen error as the recovery and boot images might not be getting updated when I update to 7.4.6 which could conflict when I try to flash the 7.4.6 freedom boot image.

Can anyone provide the 7.4.6 recovery, system and boot images so I can fully update to 7.4.6. Thanks as I cannot find them anywhere.

Dummy here!

I am a newbie to rooting, so will need dummy instructions til I get the hang of it. I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 with a system version of 11.3.2. I tried to use the one for 11.3.1 but to no avail did not work. Is there a new root for the 11.3.2. Please don't forget, Dummy here so would need full instructions.. Ty for your patience and time.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] TwistedPoet:
This is what happened to me....I have the same model and build numbers as in the video. I followed the video step by stap (mostly because I didn't want to mess up and spend the entire weekend doing this, lol). After the "laggy" reboot, my KFHD never returned. The Kindle itself is actually working but is still in that "laggy" mode and the graphics don't load. I retraced my steps twice and followed the instructions well. I think I the ADB driver wasn't communicating, or something, I really don't know. I'm going to work with the ADB driver and see if that produces anything positive. I'd gladly take advise if anyone has something that may be useful. I attached a screenshot of the root cmd prompt log and on of the folders from which I installed, in the off chance someone may see something there I did wrong and be able to point out my oversight. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Update: I went back to the web to better reasearch the ADB drivers. Found somehelpful stufee that all basically lead me installing a few files in the SDK manager. Afyer I installed those files, I reset the KFHD to factory settings and was able to regain proper control of the device. Went back to square one with the first video, followed each step, and done. Rooted KFHD 2. Ironically, I was forced a firmware update just minutes before I started back at step one. [MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION]'s guide and installs are the easy key to sucessfully rooting the KF.

Everything you could possibly need is right here. (I did have Norton's block the driver exe and flagged it a dangerous), Good luck everyone. Follow Tomsgt's steps and you will be alright. BIG THANKS Tomsgt!!!!!!!

Quick question or two...

I know this is an older post from a few months back, but I'm wondering if 1) your steps will work with KFHD version 7.4.8? I didn't see any hash codes for my version. And 2), are the steps that you have listed in order? I noticed on your Google site for rooting the Fire, you have one video after the other - am I to follow the steps in each one before proceeding to the next video? Also, will I lose my books on the Kindle part?

Sorry if you've answered these questions already - I looked back a few pages in the thread and didn't see any posts referencing this.

Rooting means gaining administrative privileges on a Linux based OS. It's the first step to mod any android device.

Unfortunately,stock android or AOSP is not yet available for Soho. The best you can do is root it,install Google Play Store,a custom launcher and a navbar. As long as the bootloader is locked,we can't get any custom ROMs on it.
