[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bertonumber1:
Hi guys n Gals How you all doing? Staying safe i hope!! Im posting this incase it is of any use to anyone who happens to stumble upon an old tablet as i did, But is absolutely bamboozled with what to do next.

Well then i had been looking for help on this issue with regard to Kindle Jem and done my fair share of reading before signing up here.

I am right out of the wrapper and wet behind the ears with Kindles and the like(1st time rooting anything at all) however i managed to install TWRP 2.8.6.0 on su rooted kindle using the bin4ry method.

I followed step by step a tutorial on Youtube named " KindleFireHD89 to pure android"

1. At first i was getting read/load errors:

when attempting to flash cm10.1 cm11/12 through adb sideload i was getting the error message "unable to read cm 11/12" or "unable to load cm11/12" each time i try to flash the rom.

So I done some research on XDA and found a thread to do with the \LARGEADDRESS issue , so downloaded the program to use more than 2GB ram for the flash process, all to no avail. (THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY NO USE AT ALL)

I soon figured i was copying and pasting the commands for flash/fastboot wrong ( i was forgetting to add .img to the name of the image files i was pasting into the command prompt to flash lol)

2. I done a bit of reading around and saw that most , if not all the files were severely obsolete (like the Jem) so i searched around and first upgraded to TWRP 3.0.0.2 from 2.8.6.0 which i feel made a big difference if not just for a smoother gui alone.

3. As my determination and curiosity got the better of me i began replacing the roms also , flashing newer ones each time in this order:

cm 10.1 (success)

cm 11(success)

cm 12.1 (success)

And finally onto Lineage OS 14.1 along with GApps 7.1 Pico where i remain , however i am unable to fix the bluetooth issue as i dont know the commands/ paths or method to alter the LTE file replacement. (any help with this would be great guys or girls (i know Ladye made a fix i think) i just dont know how to go about editing these files.

I got into the menu brand new , though weirdly it wasnt by the volume up button, it was by turning on/off about 5 times and then holding the POWER button in and finally the TWRP Recovery screen would popup.

### edited### i know this is an old kiindle hence why there is no replies .....

####23rd May 2020 EDITED YET AGAIN ##### So i wondered whether there was a recent newish kinda Rom for the JEM after managing to flash (with great difficulty and beginners syndrome) custom rom in TWRP 3.0.0.2.

As i said earlier this was a kindle that was found and when i got it in out the rain and dried off with the hairdrier treatment , was amazed it still worked. So i figured it was a tough mofo and deserved to live outwith the bin since he made it this far.

Anyway when i checked it out the firehd 8.9 was blacklisted ((((Which i am assuming will mean i at least dont need to worry about disabling OTA updates??????))))

So bottom line and after all the fuss above trying to root etc i got 14.1 lineage os without the bluetooth but ill figure that out soon.

For anyone out there this post may help if you can be bothered to read through it haha.

###Last but not least I would like to thank all the guys n gals who make these mods possible and xda themselves for not binning these old posts for noobs like myself . Respect people . thanks again man ###
