Can’t install update.zip fix

Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9 will download a TWRP version that is incompatible, with the update.zip

to fix KFU, download openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img, rename twrp.img

go to Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9/Recovery folder delete or move twrp.img, and copy new twrp.img to that location.

run KFU's run.bat install TWRP, may need to reboot a couple of times

reboot to TWRP>Install>update.zip>uncheck zip file signature verification?>swipe to confirm flash

twrp will not say it's done, but when you see the home and other options, it has completed, you can wipe or reboot

Fastboot/Factory cable

before you root you should buy a Fastboot/Factory cable

TBH Factory Adaptor aka Fastboot Cable 

You can buy from, but not limited to, these.

- (SkOrPn fastboot cable)

- Fastboot Motorola Factory Cable-ebay----

- Fastboot Motorola Factory Cable-Amazon

When used with a Kindle Fire 1, a fastboot cable will force the Kindle to boot into

Bootloader/fastboot mode so custom recovery and bootloader can be flashed.

[EMMC CORRUPTION FIX] HOW-TO Recover EMMC Bricked Kindle Fire 1st Gen [2013-08-20]

 THIS IS FOR KINDLE FIRE 1ST GEN USERS WHO EXPERIENCED MMC CORRUPTION DUE TO UNFORESEEN CHANGES IN THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE 3.0 KERNEL.

which were running a CWM recovery built from the initial 3.0 kernel back in May 2012. That kernel was not patched for MMC_CAP_ERASE, and on our emmc chip it caused a wear levelling bug which basically made the device unusable. more here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1651413

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roms

Installing custom rom

1. Reboot to TWRP recovery and see what version is installed, should be 2.7.0.0 or higher.

     If you have older version you will need to up date.

     Watch first 2 mins of video posted below to see how to reboot to TWRP.

2. Pick a rom, latest android version is KitKat/ 4.4 some KitKat roms are

Cm11,         -        CM11.0/SGT7,           -        SlimKat    -        PAC-man

    They are all similar, features will very a little. I can't say which one will work best for you,

     I'm  currently using SlimKat. but Cm11 is a good rom to start with.

3. Download Rom and Gapps (Google Apps). Don't download 'OtterX' roms unless you follow  

    the Project OtterX instructions.

    CM11: cm-11-20140609-SNAPSHOT-M7-otter.zip

    KitKat Gapps: 20140105 

4. Verify MD5 checksum for rom and gapps MD5 is posted on Rom/Gapps download pages.

     see how to use checksum https://sites.google.com/site/sdshad...hash-checksums

5. Install rom and gapps in twrp recovery see how to install a rom on Kindle Fire 

     it's an older rom video, but steps are the same.

     Install the Amazon app if you have purchased apps from Amazon.
