Yes, just install "Flashify", unpack the above zip, and flash recovery image into recovery partition. This will get you to bootable stock 5.2.0 recovery, and then you could recover if you screw up.

I got an update yesterday for developer preview and i had root before and then i got a bootloop but i fixed it by wiping cache & factory reset in fire os 5 recovery

now im on Fire os 5 with new app icons and stuff and without root, i cant capture the ota cause i must wipe cache to get out bootloop :(
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
This is a little unclear. Is unrooted developer preview stable, or is something still causing it to bootloop? You don't need to capture the ota. It's linked in OP.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] meganoahj:
no its newer then the linked preview i had the preview before and then cames the update it has new stuff but no root

when the ota is captured you can flash it with twrp and supersu

but im stucking on 4.5.3 now cause Kingroot wont roots my device and i cant try to capture the ota :(

On a more serious note, the existing 5.2.0 recovery should work just fine (it's signed by Amazon, so it WILL boot). I expect the old instructions to work just fine with the new update zip :

It's possible that one could do a dirty flash, and keep the /data as is. So skip factory reset for a test.

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
So, what's the story? Why did you have to reload full 4.5.3 (&Kingroot) in order to update to 5.2.2 ? Did TWRP from 5.2.0 not work?

Are you still running 5.2.0 recovery, or did you bother to update that to the one from 5.2.2 ?

Inquiring minds want to know :D
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] siegesoldier:
I personally could never get the whole flash TWRP temporary thing to work for me, on lolipop and I never needed to try it on kitkat. Button combos, adb reboot recovery. App rebooting to recovery always sent me back to Android when not on 4.5.3. So I go to back stock and flash forward.

I'm still using 5.2.0 recovery.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
It seems that you just flashed TWRP by itself when in 5.2.0, without the 2 bootloader files. TWRP is unsigned, and will not boot in anything newer than 4.5.3. Hence the need to flash bootloaders.

Downgrading to 4.5.3, re-rooting, then installing TWRP is just a longer way to "dd" those 3 files into the respective partitions :D

But it's a good confirmation that there is nothing scary about 5.2.2, TWRP installs & roots it properly.

unsuccessful at flashing in TWRP

Hi, I've got rooted 4.5.3 booting. I'd flashed the stock recovery for 5.0 which works fine - but never got 5.2.0 or 5.2.2 to flash right. So I'm trying for the 4th time and finally giving up to ask for help. 4.5.3 rooted boots fine and TWRP for recovery is now back in place.

After an inordinate amount of fussing around on Windows (I've only got NT Home Edition to work on) and finally getting the driver INF file (definitely happy to share my findings if it's a hint of hope to anyone) to work - I was able to revert to 4.5.3, flash TWRP recovery, change .bin file for 5.2.0/5.2.2 extension to zip, unzip, delete images directory, change the META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script to the one provided, rezip & tried flashing that (and before I'd noticed the changes needed w/ images folder/updater script, the original bin file just altered to zip extension) fail. It checks for MD5 file, skips it (typical, this happens on flash attempts that work through TWRP as well) and doesn't proceed. Error flashing zip '/path/filename.zip'. I got the same error trying to flash GAPPS and Xposed, but flashing the stock recovery works fine! Tried 5.2.2 - failed, then 5.2.0 - failed. 5.2.2 - failed again.

Then I switched to working on a Mac for any abd commands. Flashing 5.2.2 (with TWRP) continues to fail. I do my unzipping/zipping of 5.2.2 on a Mac for what it's worth. Hope I've provided enough information to spark a further idea for someone to assist? Thanks!

This is how i flashed it.

**TWRP requires busybox to work properly...if u dont have busybox install it....https://mega.nz/#!sh5VxQJS!C-CQaceiE58Y-0GABVSj3_iEhHZd3AG-kDK4FIM5fqQ

1. Reboot to TWRP, go to wipe and then do a factory reset.

2. Rename the rom to ''lollipop522.bin'' and paste in the adb directory folder.

3. From twrp, tap on advanced and choose adb sideload,open adb on pc and install with ''adb sideload lollipop522.bin''

4.Before replacing recovery flash stuff u need like xposed installer, picoGAPPs...here is the link for xposed installer...https://mega.nz/#!81QmXJqL!dXlhvywBIQwwL1Hhjr_rBdKMq3X4UUiXnzMjMdxuxLI

5. NOw sideload 5.2.0 recovery https://mega.nz/#!1kBwlDjS!e879bx-7pl-cjFmaKpgcIOoDSAGvzuCA2B3C0525_x4

6.Go to Reboot page and choose reboot recovery, TWRP will prompt u to install root...install it

7. It will reboot to amazon stock recovery and will replace TWRP.

8. CHoose reboot your system..(it will take about 8 to 15 mins to boot the first time, have patience).

9. ONce it boots..enable usb debugging and install es explorer.. copy your SUPERSU apk and xposed apk to the internal storage of the fire..open es explorer and install both of them...

10.Open Supersu..it will prompt u to update binaries...do it and reboot.

progress update

Thanks kindleismybest friend, DoLooper and Besttabletiskindlefire for your input.

I ran into further problems on both the WinXP and Mac 10.7.2 machines with ADB. I couldn't side load within TWRP with the Mac, the version of ADB was too old & the new one doesn't seem to work with my OS. I knew from before that the PC wouldn't recognize the FireHD6 as a device when booted into recovery (TWRP). So I used TWRP's file manager & renamed the freshly loaded 5.2.2 BIN file to ZIP and then I was finally actually able to flash it successfully with TWRP installer.

But GAPPS wouldn't flash and I don't think that Xposed architecture did either.

Now I've got a working/bootable 5.2.2 with stock 5.0 recovery. I tried side loading from recovery the xposed zip file from my PC and got "failed to verify whole-file signature". After that attempt, now neither computer recognizes the device via ADB when booted in recovery. I'll reboot all devices in hopes that's an easy correct. UPDATE: after reboot, via ADB neither computer Mac (running ADB 1.0.29) nor PC (running ADB 1.0.32) sees the device when it's booted to recovery. The Mac doesn't see the device at all, now. But it does see my Android phone (running 4.4.2). The PC does see the FireHD6 when booted normally.

Here's what I think I'd love some help on now:

1. I can't run SuperSU from the APK I installed via ADB cuz I can't get to play store and there's no more TWRP.

2. Still no GAPPS - wonder should I add those through JmzFireHDTool?

3. no Xposed architecture - tried side loading the xposed-v71-sdk21-arm.zip file which is when I discovered that neither computer was recognizing the device while in recovery.

Really do appreciate your help. At least I'm a bit further along now!:good:
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
You really need to sort out your ADB issues. It's pretty critical to get that working properly! There are tons of guides around here, look for those.

For Xposed and Gapps, you'll need to get back into TWRP:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62011272&postcount=2

Realistically, if you manage to get back into TWRP, you should reflash 5.2.2, immediately followed by Xposed, and GAPPS.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] VeryModern:
almost there?!

Post edited 23 Aug 2015 to remove extraneous information & generally clarify. bibikalka correctly pointed out that this was post was originally quite poorly written. Lesson learned about over-tired, brain-fried late night posting.

____

I'm not brand new to hacking, but before this FireHD6 work, I hadn't used tools more advanced than odin. So my observations are from a novice perspective to these particular tools and processes.

I had many issues with ADB on both my Mac and PC making this much more complicated than it had to be. In the end, I think the most important lessons for achieving success were:

* Having version 1.0.32 of ADB simplified everything. It seems to be necessary for adb sideload once the tablet is updated to 5.2.2

* Issuing the command adb devices yields nothing when the tablet is booted to recovery UNLESS the ADB Sideload option from the recovery menu is initiated on the tablet. Then and only then does the computer list the tablet as a device

___

As for my issues with installing ZIP files from TWRP, I had assumed that "flash" or "install" meant using TWRP's Install menu and then selecting the file. My past reports of failure were when trying that. I did not have Busybox installed when trying, though, as I did when I got things working with another approach...

What worked for me instead was to use TWRP's Advanced/ADB Sideload option, and then issuing an adb sideload command from the computer to which the tablet is connected.

Now, I can confirm I'm updated with the 5.2.2 image, I'm rooted, I can open the Play Store and browse, see my apps (installed/all) - but when I try to install anything, I get a white page - and it seems to crash and return me to the FireHD6 list of apps. If I then again try to open Play Store, I get a white screen briefly and am kicked back to the FireHD6 list of apps. So I'm not completely functional here. It's late, I'll do some further reading on that over the weekend unless one of you guys cares to point me in the right direction.

Thank you all once again!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Confusing post, I suggest some classes on technical writing and clarity in communication !:D But good to hear you finally have it working !!!

DoLooper did the legwork for you, explaining how to fix the non-working Play store very easily:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62446653&postcount=64
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] VeryModern:
still no functional Play Store

Here's what happens:

Play Store opens, checks for Google login credentials, and will search, show apps installed and all those available from my account. When I select one to install on the FireHD6, it'll act like it's in process - then the screen goes white and Play Store closes. Subsequent attempts to open the Play Store app result in a brief showing of a white screen before the app exits.

The DoLooper fix of renaming /system/etc/hosts didn't do the trick for me. I then tried installing Google Apps from the JmzFireHDTool and saw no difference in the behavior of Play Store.

So, I started over. Reverted back to 4.5.3 and the whole works. This time I didn't install xPosed. I tried a slightly different build of the GAPPS Pico - initially I used a universal variation said to work across all screen DPIs. This time I used the straight 5.1 GAPPS Pico.

Once rooted, from a computer I did:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

mv /system/etc/hosts hostsBAK

mount -o ro,remount /system

and rebooted.

Same behavior with Play Store as described above from my earlier attempt. I see lots of threads about the white screen behavior but don't know how much weight to assign them, considering that they're in 4.x.x builds.

Those of you who've successfully completed your builds: can you actually install an app from Play Store or do you experience a similar failure?

PS I made major edits two posts up in hopes that my ramblings might be more useful
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] siegesoldier:
Install xposed and HDXposed linked in the first post
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Well, A for effort. That's for sure. :D You have learned all about the fatal flaw in 5.2.2: Play store is broken!

ATM only [MENTION=273837]Seigesolder[/MENTION]'s fix, to use the HDXposed Xposed module, works. This is discussed in the OP here, the Discuss Lollipop thread, and the Upgrade to Lollipop thread.

Bottom Line: You have to get Xposed onto the Fire. Follow this post by bibikalka to temporarily get TWRP back into recovery. Then you can flash Xposed for Lollipop before reinstalling the 5.2.2 recovery (All explained in b's guide.) I've done this a couple times and it's easy, though instructions must be carefully followed. Once you have Xposed, install the HDXposed module linked in the OP here. Play store will work and you can finally rest. :)

Hi guys,

Ok, so I've searched through everything and I still can't find an answer to my problem.

Despite pushing right buttons while booting or making him boot into recovery mode, he always turns on the system. I can't get into flash tool either, but maybe it is because I have a blocked bootloader.
