[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
I've flashed ROMS on my kindle a zillion times, so I think I can give you the CliffsNotes version. ;)

1) Download the latest CM12.1 build from the website.

2) Also download the TWRP 2.8.7.0 .zip for jem from Hashcode's thread, as he recommends using this version for flashing CM12.1.

3) Optional (but recommended for the best experience): download the latest gapps package from the link in Hashcode's other thread concerning CM12.1.

4) Reboot into TWRP if you haven't done so already. (You can do this by pressing the power button when the kindle is turned off, then immediately pressing and holding volume up, which is the button on the volume rocker that is farthest away from the power button. Keep holding it until about 2-3 seconds after you see the blue Kindle logo.)

5) Connect the kindle to your computer and copy the TWRP update zip from your computer to the kindle.

6) Flash the TWRP update zip from within your current TWRP version. When done, reboot into recovery again. This time, when you see the TWRP version, it should read 2.8.7.0 instead of what it read earlier.

7) Optional but recommended: Hook up the kindle to the computer again and copy all files from the kindle to the PC. When done, delete the original files in "/sdcard" on the kindle and then (from the TWRP main menu) select "Backup", and choose to backup at least "Data". You could also select "system" as well, but I think this would be redundant (you could always flash the base ROM and gapps and then restore your backup). When done (it might take half an hour or more, depending on how much data has accumulated), you should copy the files in /sdcard/TWRP/ to your computer.

8) [Only do if switching between ROMs, like from Candy5 to CM): When done, select "Wipe" from the main menu, choose "Advanced wipe", and select "Cache", "Dalvik cache", "Internal storage", "Data", and "System". Swipe to wipe, wait for the wiping to complete. Go to the main menu. Immediately select Reboot -> Recovery, and ignore the warnings about TWRP detecting no installed or rooted ROM. When back in recovery again, hook the kindle back up to the PC and copy the CM12.1 (and gapps, if you downloaded it) .zip(s) to the kindle. Then go ahead and flash them from TWRP (if you choose to install the gapps, remember to flash CM first and then the gapps). If you didn't flash the gapps (which automatically clear out both caches during flashing), make sure to wipe both caches when done flashing CM. Reboot into system, and be patient.

9) If dirty flashing (for example, if flashing a CM12.1 8/19/2015 build over a 8/17/2015 build), all you need to do is just go to the main menu in TWRP, choose "Install", and then browse to the ROM zip. Flash it (you don't need to worry about wiping caches unless you run into issues), and then reboot into system. :)

Hope this helped! :)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigelmercier:
That helped hugely, many thanks.

However:

2) Also download the TWRP 2.8.7.0 .zip for jem from Hashcode's thread

I thought this would be simple, but that thread first goes off to another thread talking about things like Android SDK, Stack, Freedom, and FastBoot. WTF? :)

[Later] I decided to ignore all this and go ahead with your excellent instructions. Most were straightforward, although I did have to delve a little to find what I wanted. For example:

[4] Reboot into TWRP if you haven't done so already. While the ORANGE logo is showing on the screen, press and hold the volume up button till the BLUE logo shows. (This is the button farther away from the power button) [From HashCode's thread]

8) When done, select "Wipe" from the main menu, then Advanced Wipe

Flashed CM, then GApps, rebooting...

[Later still]

Got a little pulsing cyan android face in the middle of the screen for a couple of minutes. He zoomed off, now got Android is starting ... Optimizing app XX of 87

After last app updated, 30 second delay.

Screen dimmed, but can see Starting apps

After about 10 minutes I get a message Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped

Screen eventually came back to higher brightness. I think it is working.

WOOT!

Note, the message Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped comes up from time to time, although BT is turned off.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
The Android SDK (which at the bare minimum would include fastboot and ADB) would only be needed when rooting and backing up the stock software and flashing the custom boot, bootloader and recovery files. Even then, you'd most likely only need it for rooting (and backup of stock firmware), as the FireFlash app (for stock Amazon OS only?) would flash the files for you (once you plug them into the app, anyway).

The stack file (for the HD 8.9's stock firmware) is meant to block OTAs for Amazon's software. You wouldn't need to worry about it once you install a custom ROM. Similar story for the freedom-boot img - it's only needed for Amazon's stock software, as it is one of the "keys" that enables custom ROM access on the Kindle.

As for TWRP:

1) Seeing as though you flashed LiquidSmooth, I was thinking that you had known how to get into TWRP. For future reference, you do have to press and hold the volume up key (near the headphone port, or farthest away from the power button) before the yellow Kindle logo turns blue to boot into TWRP.

2) My mistake - you do need to select "Wipe" from the main menu, and then "Advanced wipe" from there to choose which partitions to wipe. (I've been flashing ROMs for so long that I forgot to mention that!)

The pulsing android logo you got after rebooting from TWRP into system was the CM12.1 boot animation featuring the CM mascot, Cid. I'm assuming it worked if you managed to get that far. :)

Finally, I'm thinking that the BT share crashes might be a momentary issue - I would wait until the next nightly and see what happens. Glad I could help you out! :D
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigelmercier:
Thanks for the extra information.

Please note that I meant to be in no way critical of your excellent instructions, I was just laying down a timeline as I did the upgrade in case it was helpful to others.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigelmercier:
Just installed cm-12.1-20150820-NIGHTLY-jem.zip but the "Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped" problem persists. I'll try again in a few days. I don't seem to have a working Disable button for Bluetooth Share.

Some other related issues:

[1] When I first did the update I was asked if I wanted to root the device, I said no. I just updated again (without GApps this time, wiped both caches) but didn't get this option. Would rooting help with the Disable button?

[2] I flashed without GApps as I really don't need any of the stock apps, except Google Play so I can download a few selected apps. However, without GApps, there is no Play! Is there a way to install just this?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
To answer your questions:

1) You wouldn't need to root, as CM already ships with root pre-installed (it's just hidden and disabled by default). To enable it, all you'd need to do is:

Open the settings app, then tap "About Device".

Tap on the build number 7 times. You'll know you're doing it right when you see a toast notification at the bottom of the screen saying "You are now x steps from being a developer."

When you see a toast that says "You are now a developer!", go back to the main settings screen and choose the newly enabled Developer options.

In this screen, look for the "Root access" setting. Tap on it, then select "Disabled". Tap on it again, and this time select "Apps" or "Apps + ADB". Agree to the warning about the dangers of root.

You should be able to grant and deny root access to apps now. :)

2) I would look for a minimal/micro gapps package for lollipop (5.1 compatible if possible). While I don't think it would be completely devoid of anything that isn't the Play Store or its dependencies, I think that this is the closest you can get to it. I'll try to look for another solution and update the post as needed.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigelmercier:
Thanks again for your reply. Don't go out of your way looking for a minimal GApps package, I can just use the standard one instead. I was just trying to be clever, and failing :)

My main concern is the "Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped" problem. I honestly don't care if it has stopped working, I just don't want to be told anymore!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadonf:
Hi folks!

I did a terrible mistake on my rooted SM-G901F yesterday, maybe I was drunk or something!..

I noticed that the settings process was draining a lot of battery, so I decided to do a backup with TiBackup, and then uninstall the settings.apk to see if it makes any changes. There was the mistake... :D

The changes are that the phone boots properly and seems to work well, but it's not the case anymore with the touchscreen wich doesn't work at all, so I'm totally unable to use it.

The only thing I managed to do for now is to retrieve the settings.apk backup but I need to force the installation by USB I presume.

Any clues? It may be quite simple but it's out of my knowledge, your help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadonf:
After some research it seems possible to install an APK in a .tar container with ODIN, but I'm unsure about that.

Or the other solution is to re flash the 5.0.2 official ROM, am'I gonna loose all data if I do it?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antaroo:
Hello

Is there some kind of volume booster for this ROM available ? Im not looking for one of thousands not working apps from google play store but for some real deal like STweaks, but working with newest lollipop/rom. Any help highly aprecciated.

Cheers.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edoardo001:
You have to modify MixerPaths in system/etc. In Speaker audio, headset for in call volume, and headphones. Change the values from about 80, adding 2 or 3 and test, then repeate the operation.(If you modify drastically a value, you can broke speaker or headphones.

It didnt work unless for the speaker volume its different line then :RX7 Digital Volume value=83 (increased to 95). Volume level is still the same after reboot

Hi I have a CN sku zenfone 2 with the WW firmware installed, how can I install the original CN firmware in my device?

I have already downloaded the latest CN firmware, do I have to wipe everything? Do I have to do the same method as described on the CN to WW thread? And if yes where do I find the necessary files to do that?

Or do I just put the CN firmware on the root of my card and do the update?
[Palm Treo 750] Aidem:
ok the thing is i live in Jamaica. To cut a long story short, i have no cable or even a charger (i made 1). Got a code from cingular, it doesnt work.(tried 6 times strangely its not lock to the provider from the efforts). So is there a way anyone can help.
[Palm Treo 750] oo3:
I hope you didn't try 6 times in a row. Cuz that will most likely lock the device permanently.

Most common reason why it's not working is because you need to press the button under the 'a' button twice to num lock it then enter in the code.
[Palm Treo 750] Aidem:
thanks for your help. but it didnt work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Jklaz:
This could either be the stupidest question ever or one of the more interesting issues I've ever ran into. I just took my case off of my phone only to find little threads stick between the glass and the metal frame. Whatever they are, they seem to be stuck in there (I don't wanna pull but I did poke at them) leaving me to believe they are wires and not just some type of fuzz. Has anyone seen this before? ??

Edit:

It seems that in fact they are wires. And I've realized that if you put a little pressure on the frame it will move. I guess from taking my case off (spigen clear case) it provided enough room for them to poke out. I'm trying to get them back in

Edit 2:

After looking at this picture from ifixit I'm starting to wonder what there are loose wires in the first place
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] deliberate.dev:
I'd call Samsung and ask for a new phone if you don't have a warranty.

I can't stand that we aren't able to take the back off in the first place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] furyau:
Not wires - just pull them out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] riker147:
How do you know?

What are they?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] furyau:
There are no wires that exist like that inside the phone. I dont have the phone to look at.....but I would expect them to be some kind of threads from your pocket or your bag or whatever else you have been putting your phone in. Maybe fibreglass spacer in the phone or something from outside.

Wires require ends to be connected...or they are not doing anything anyway....hence just pull them out / cut them off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Jklaz:
I've held off calling so far too see if anybody offers and solutions or if one presents itself but that is always in the book. I just wish the battery life was longer... my s5 felt better lol

One of the 'wires/threads' did fall out.. and looking at the ifixit teardown I do see how there aren't any lose wires. So i'm starting to agree with you. For right now I just put my case back on because I don't have time to really look at them right now until around 6 EST.

Casting my vote for beard. Which might be a cause for concern, that doesn't seem like it would be within the build tolerance for this phone...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Lint...

If those were really broken wires (which would not be formed like that (they would be braided or twisted (that seems single strand))) then you would have all sorts of problems with reception.

Are you getting reception?

I had the same issue with my phone but they were a different color because of being in my pant pockets.
