FLASHING WRONG IMAGES CAN DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE SO USE THIS APP ON YOUR OWN RISK
fire flash is an App for flashing boot and recovery partitions on both versions of Kindle Fire HD. Optionally it also installs a simple Open Recovery Script which gets executed after entering recovery mode. In script only wiping system/data/cache and installing ROMs (.zip files) are supported.
Usage: download files you want to flash (boot image, recovery image, ROM .zip files). After downloading files, select them and check appropriate options. In attached image there is an example for flashing Hashcode's bootloader + TWRP + stock ROM v8.1.4 with installed stack override on a KFHD8.9. After all files are selected and options checked as shown on the image, first tap Flash,install script button and then Reboot into recovery button. All required files can be found in Hashcode's threads.
Tomsgt made a video http://youtu.be/a1bLCuQN0-U which shows how to use the fire flash. Thanks.
Note: more than one .zip file can be selected. To remove a file from the list, select the same file again.
Update v1.1
-added support for system version 7.3.0 / 8.3.0:
: if current bootloader is not 7.2.3 / 8.1.4 a red warning is displayed and check box for flashing 7.2.3 / 8.1.4 bootloader is enabled.
: unless you are sure your current bootloader is not 7.3.0 / 8.3.0 bootloader 7.2.3 / 8.1.4 should probably be flashed - check the checkbox.
-works on CM10.1
-every flashed partition is read back and verified
-shows progress when flashing
Update v1.01
-added some feedback after pressing Flash,install script button
-(hopefully) resolved problems with open recovery script

can flash for example tweaks and sound tweaks like acid audio engine that come in a zip?

fire flash generates a script which is then executed by TWRP. If tweaks can be flashed from TWRP then yes. Leave boot and recovery image 'Not flashed' and don't wipe anything in OpenRecoveryScript section. Select your .zip file(s), press Flash, then reboot into recovery. This app only simplifies (a few) tasks that can be done in TWRP and makes intalling boot and recovery partition realy easy.

yes TWRP does the unzipping. If you only need to unzip some files into the /system dir this app perhaps isn't the best choice.

device must be rooted for this App to work.
Works good. A couple things to note:
1. It gives no indication when you click the "flash, install script" button that it's done flashing. I ended up clicking it twice...
2. Even though I selected to wipe the cache/data/system and install the new IS zip file, it did not work. I rebooted to TWRP ok, but had to wipe and flash manually...
But, I'm definitely not complaining about anything cuz it got my second boot loader installed without me having to buy a fast-food cable first!

Awesome work. My plan is to backup the current image before flashing any new ROMs. Using this script how can I just flash TWRP without changing anything else? If I just flash recovery partition alone, would it do the trick for my use case ?

I was able to do it without flashing any other zip files(just boot and recover images). It takes a while to boot into recover though (after the "kindle fire" logo turns blue).
Thanks for the good work.

First download the kfhd7-freedom-boot.img and the TWRP Recovery from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
Now move those files to the storage on your KFHD7, install the fire flash APK and execute it, select the files and check the "Apply Stack override" box and the "disable recovery auto update" just like the picture on the OP.
now execute it by pushing the "flash install script" button and Wait! (it do not says its done so i wait like a full minute)
now do a reboot and the boot logo will turn blue and the you push volume up and then you will be in TWRP
hope it helps.

Build Number

I am absolutely new to this Android ROM installs on the phones. Though I decided to install this ROM I absolutely didn’t’ have any idea how to proceed. As a beginner I started doing the following in order.
Download and Keep the CM7 ROM
1. Downloaded Ba2F.zip to my laptop
2. Downloaded and Installed the Motorola USB drivers MotoHelper_2.0.53_Driver_5.2.0.EXE
3. Connect the Atrix and set the USB option on the phone to “USB Mass Storage”
4. Copy both BaTF.zip as well as the Extracted one to Phone internal storage as well as the Ext-SDcard on the phone
Download ROM Manager and Titanium Backup
1. Downloaded both from Android Market (ROM Manager Pro and Titanium Backup Free Version)
2. Both Apps won’t open because I had not ROOTED the phone
Root the Phone
1. I used “Pete's Motorola Root Tools.EXE” file to ROOT the phone
2. Followed step by step as mentioned here http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-motorola-atrix-4g-35233/
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
1. I used ROM Manager to do this as when you try to do anything in ROM manager it prompts to do this. The version of this is 5.0.2.0 ( I am not sure what is this for why we have to do this)
Unlocking the Bootloader
1. What I learned is, to unlock the bootloader, we have to first flash the phone with the SBF file
a. Installed RSDLite5.3.1.msi
b. Loaded the file 4547-fix-try2.sbf (Downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261)
c. Boot the phone with Power+volume UPPER key pressed till "Starting RSD protocol support" comes up
d. Connect to the Laptop and Hit Start button in RSD Lite Program
e. It Did Throw an error saying “FAIL” after showing the following message
i. Failed to boot: error 0x1000'( not word for word). There will also be a list of boot options like Fastboot, RSD, Recovery, etc. And it says Starting Fastboot Protocol
2. Then comes unlocking the phone
a. Though I had the previous error message, it still had the Fastboot Protocol loaded
b. I went to the FASTBOOT folder in command prompt of my laptop executed the following to unlock the phone which worked perfectly as I see the “Unlock” on the left hand corner when phone boots
c. fastboot oem unlock (it gave me the code) then I used the code to unlock
d. fastboot oem unlock #######
e. fastboot reboot
3. Installing the recovery IMG
a. I had downloaded the Recovery IMG file (recovery-atrix5.img) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
b. Booted the phone into Fastboot mode (turn off phone, hold power and volume down key until 'fastboot' appears then use volume up to select so it says 'starting fastboot protocol support').
c. From the CMD promnt and FASTBOOT directory I used fastboot erase recovery
d. Then I executed fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img (Note: I didn’t rename the file to recovery as suggested by some people)
e. Then gave fastboot reboot to restart.
4. Booting into Recovery mode (This is where I have the problem)
a. The phone is not booting into recovery it’s not going past the Android and yellow Triangle screen
b. I re-flashed the phone same SBF file (this time it was a success showed in the RSD Lite Program), re-installed the same IMG file after renaming to recovery.img
c. Also tried with a different IMG from the same link (recovery-blue-atrix5.img) but no luck
d. Also deleted the file install-recovery.sh from ./etc/ folder (bought the app root manager to delete the file) and then push the recovery.img, no luck
e. Some people said to TAP the bottom right corner while on that screen, did that but nothing is happening
f. Then I saw a note to press both the Volume Keys at the same time, this works but in this mode the cursor (I mean the selection) on the phone doesn’t go to the First TWO (i and iii) shown below, it allows me to select any of the last FOUR (v, vi, vii, viii).
i. Android System Recovery <3e>
ii. <EMPTY LINE >
iii. Android System Recovery utility
iv. <EMPTY LINE >
v. Reboot System now
vi. Apply update from sdcard
vii. Wipe data/factory reset
viii. Wipe cache partition
g. Using the above option I did factory reset but sill no results.
5. Current condition of the phone
a. It boots in unlock mode and I can do all the daily tasks. But I want to install the CM7 ROM that’s my requirement
PLEASE HELP HELP HELP
First of all, I applaud your effort in giving the a very comprehensive description of your issue.
Second, it seems you are having issues with installing a custom recovery because the recovery you're describing is still the stock recovery. I'll look around and see if I can find something that might help.

Have you tried re-installing the CWM from RomManager through RomManager? And then boot into recovery from within the app?
---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
EDIT: This might seem trivial, but is "USB Debugging" turned on?
You are the Man, I just flashed the same CWM 5.0.2.0 and i am in the recovery mode. This gave me an error when i did last time hence i didn't try again.
Thanks a bunch
Glad I can help, also, I think it's recommended to use the RomManager recovery for CM7 so good thing it worked.

Oops.. started again, Can i use the recovery-atrix5.img and ROM manager flash it? if yes, then how?
I copy this file (after renaming to recovery.img) to both internal storage and SD card then what option should i choose in ROM Manager?
If you downloaded the CWM zip file for the romracer recovery and as long as RomManager's recovery is working then, yes, you can.

See post#2 from romracer's thread. Read the Miscellaneous part. Probably need to get rid of, or backup, install-recovery.sh.
He has mentioned he already did that. In his OP, under the steps he took look at "Booting into Recovery Mode" - 4.d, he says he removed it.
Maybe he's not doing it in the right order? Do you happen to know which should be done first as far as installing recovery and removing said file?

Woops, I should have read more carefully. It's best to remove the file first and then flash the recovery.img, or else the script will install the stock recovery on boot. That would make stock recovery the current one on the phone at the time of the script getting deleted.
I would double check and make sure /system/etc does not have install-recovery.sh. If it is not there, then proceed to the fastboot steps and reflash the recovery.img again. It should stick this time.
@Ghost, yes i deleted the file multiple times however i didn't find the /system/etc folder on the Internal Storage. however I found the install-recovery.sh file under /etc folder. The thing i observed that whether i flash it with a new CWM or not if i reboot the phone then it was created by itself.
@Live4nyy, Thanks for your suggestion, I could able to install CM7 now and it looks awesome good so far, but looks like i need to install Google Apps separately to access the APP market, am I right?
The only thing that happens to me is, it allowed me to go to Recovery only ONCE after i Flashed it thru ROM Manager, if i exit out of recovery without doing anything then next time tried to go to Recovery, it will struck at the same old Android screen and i had to flash it again. But Many thanks for suggesting to flash it thru ROM Manager.
Now with CM7, under ROM Manager (I guess this comes default with CM7) I see there is no version listed under "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" and it says i must have to install it in-order to Flash and restore ROMs, do i need to do that? I can go to Recovery mode after reboot without any issues. Please Advise.

I just checked out my girlfriend's stock, locked, unrooted Atrix and she actually has install-recovery.sh in both /etc and /system/etc. Her file manager does not alphabetize anything in either folder, so I almost overlooked the second one.
If you're already on CM7, then you probably won't need to worry anymore. They have an entirely different set of start up scripts in that folder. Welcome to the community!
At this point I do not know enough to help you any further with this issue. All I knew about is the file that needs to be removed that @ghost_og has mentioned. But if you can flash it from RomManager and access CWM from there as well then I guess that's a good enough workaround for now.
Does anyone else have any idea why the stock recovery cannot be removed?

Ability to auto restore GAPPS on zip flash (for CM based ROMS)
Ability to auto reboot after successful flashes (for the lazy)
Some devices utilize their capacitive buttons in recovery.

HTC Dumlock Instructions:
Install the build of TWRP using your method of choice, but you must actually flash TWRP to recovery. No fastboot booting it. We need it in recovery so that this build of TWRP will be flashed to your boot. This new build of TWRP has features in it to easily restore your original boot.
Reboot into recovery.
Make a backup of your phone.
Tap Advanced.
Tap HTC Dumlock. (If you don't see HTC Dumlock then you need to remove any custom TWRP theme that you might be using.)
Tap Install HTC Dumlock. This will install the app and binaries needed to make everything work nicely.
Reboot your device.
Find and open the HTC Dumlock app.
If/when prompted, give the app root (SuperUser) permissions.
Tap the Execute HTC Dumlock button.
Wait patiently for a couple of minutes. It takes a little while.
If your device doesn't reboot automatically, reboot it manually. Reboot it normally. DO NOT reboot it to recovery.
You should now be in your recovery, but your recovery is flashed into boot.
Tap Advanced.
Tap HTC Dumlock.
Tap Restore Original Boot.
Use your recovery like normal. Flash a new kernel. Restore a backup with a different kernel. Do whatever you please!
Consider donating!
Note, you must repeat steps 8 through 17 EVERY TIME you need to flash boot.
Installation:
Unlock bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Make sure fastboot is unchecked in power options and turn phone completely off
Boot into HBOOT then Fastboot
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot erase cache"
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

I just tried using adb sideload and it transferred the rom zip, and the rom looked like it was installing, it even said it was installed. However, when I went to reboot, TWRP says 'are you sure no OS installed?' sure enough, i got stuck at the HTC One screen for a long time afterwards. The rom installed fine with adb push, then installing it. Just wondering if this is me or other people experience it.

Idk about this phone but did you make sure the boot.img was installed. Try flashing manually the boot.img.
Can anyone help please.I flashed twrp v 2.5.0.0 but I think I checked fast boot in power for some reason . Now twrp is giving me some problems like it doesn't recognise my internal storage and can't flash supersu or superu ,so my device is still unrooted. Could anybody tell me what should I do now?

Hello everyone... I really like the way TWRP works even though the backup files seem to be proprietary. I especially like the way the wipe area allows you to select other specific items under "advanced." One question I have though is this... is the "fix permissions" option working for everyone? Would this not work on certain ROMs? I am just curious. Thanks for your insight!
cant flash the recovery. it says out of memory :/

Could someone please link me to a flashable zip? No OS installed. outdated TWRP >_<

It should work as long your bootloader is unlock.
This Update Provides power improvements and security enhancement for your device
Heating and Battery issues are seems to be fixed
Before you proceed:
Updating to this update doesn’t wipe your data. Still, you should back up all your important data, just in case.
This is an official bug fix update. Installing this, even manually using the method we are providing, doesn’t void your manufacturer warranty in any way.
Make sure that your phone isn’t low on battery. Anything above 35% should be good enough to go ahead with. (Any guide on the internet that asks you to charge your phone above 80% before following a guide, is simply taking unrequired precaution.)
Update Yu Yureka
1.Download the Update file from below (official link).
2.Transfer this zip file as it is (don’t extract it) to the internal storage of your Yureka.
3.Once you’ve done so, reboot your Yureka in recovery mode. To do that, do either of the following steps:
Go to Settings > About phone and tap on the Build Number field seven times. This would unlock Developer Options. Now go to Settings > Developer Options and tick the Advanced Reboot option. Now long press the power button, and then 4.
select the reboot option to get the reboot to recovery option. Select it to boot into the recovery option.
Otherwise, power off your Yureka. Once it shuts down completely, press and hold the Volume Up, Volume Down and 5.
4.Power buttons together till the phone boots up into the recovery mode.
When you enter the recovery mode, select the Apply update option, then the Choose from internal storage option, then the 0/ option, and finally select the cm-tomato-56deeca328-to-00b2e333e8-signed.zip file that you copied to your phone in step 2.
5.Once you select the file in the last step, the recovery will start flashing the update. When the flashing completes, you will be back on the main screen in the Recovery mode.
6.Select the Reboot system now option and wait for the reboot process to complete

1.Download the Update file from below (official link).
2.Transfer this zip file as it is (don’t extract it) to the internal storage of your Yureka.
3.Once you’ve done so, reboot your Yureka in recovery mode. To do that, do either of the following steps:
Go to Settings > About phone and tap on the Build Number field seven times. This would unlock Developer Options. Now go to Settings > Developer Options and tick the Advanced Reboot option. Now long press the power button, and then 4.
select the reboot option to get the reboot to recovery option. Select it to boot into the recovery option.
Otherwise, power off your Yureka. Once it shuts down completely, press and hold the Volume Up, Volume Down and 5.
4.Power buttons together till the phone boots up into the recovery mode.
When you enter the recovery mode, select the Apply update option, then the Choose from internal storage option, then the 0/ option, and finally select the cm-tomato-56deeca328-to-00b2e333e8-signed.zip file that you copied to your phone in step 2.
5.Once you select the file in the last step, the recovery will start flashing the update. When the flashing completes, you will be back on the main screen in the Recovery mode.
6.Select the Reboot system now option and wait for the reboot process to complete

I think we have to relock the boot loader..
The zip is too large. If I download the OTA on phone, is it the same size or is it a smaller file size?
And if I manually flash from recovery, don't I need to clear cache?

The message is very clear:
Your /system partition is RW (read write)
Thats becouse you rooted the device and enabled RW on /system.
Put the /system partition back to his stock state (Read only) and you should be good to go

I assume you already know how to get into twrp, because you were previously attempting to flash magic., So no need to cover that.
Put the boot.img to your phone (same way you put the superSu or magic zips)
To flash the boot.img, select install button in twrp. At lower corner or screen in twrp will appear button "Install Image", select that.
then browse folders same as usual but now will show you the img files available .
select the stock boot.img
next screen is "select Partiton to Flash Image"
select Boot, then "swipe"
this will return you to stock boot.img, as long as you were on V9 before.
You should also be able to flash the system.img the same way, if neede, but I have no way to know If is ok to use as upgrade from V8
must have images unzipped from main archive before putting to phone.

No, don't put the system image anywhere except in system.
I will need to look at the twrp on the device again tonight.
I know the same recovery before being ported to the studio( on my life Max ) allows flashing system image. That's how I usually do my full reset.
On the studio I assumed it was same. Will update when I get back to PC. ( Tethered recovery is a pain ).
But do you actually need to reflash system though?

system not mounting may be a bigger problem.
I ported different TWRP that has the flash system image option.
same as old one you must use "fastboot boot" to get into it, do not flash it to phone.

Okay, so I figured out why /system wasn't mounting. I accidentally set the rm -rf option instead of formatting the partitions, so I fixed the system partition not mounting. And this port of TWRP fixed my phone, so thank you so much for your help!
And as a side note, why exactly can I not flash TWRP onto the phone? What will happen if I do?

Is there like a port of CWM that I can flash to this? I remember an old phone of mine (I think it was a Samsung Fascinate), I had CWM on it and it didn't use the touchscreen at all, but rather it used the volume keys to move the selection and used the power button to actually select a menu item.

Please do let me know how that goes.
The TWRP for the HD1910 works perfectly on the HD1925. Decryption works too. Install TWRP by using the installer.
Exact the img from the installer zip.
Boot to fastboot
Open a CMD within the extracted TWRP installer folder and type in
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
Once TWRP boots, then install the TWRP installer zip file.
I flashed magisk and it flashed with no issues. I used the latest version here.
Download TWRP for hotdog
Download TWRP Open Recovery for hotdog
dl.twrp.me
NOTE: I did it on the latest version, 11.0.1.18 So I'm not sure if it works on any older versions but I would assume so.
Yep, been out a while now. Works perfectly! However I highly highly recommend not using the twrp installer zip on our phones nor installing it by doing "fastboot flash recovery name_of_twrp.img"
Just download the latest .img and do "fastboot boot name_of_twrp.img" whenever you need to go into twrp recovery. Or you're just asking for trouble with OTA updates definitely no longer working (until you restore the stock recovery that matches the exact version of OOS that you are running) and a good possibility of getting a Qualcomm Crash-dump and losing or breaking all kinds of stuff.

Exact (Unzip) the zip folder. Within the extracted folder you'll see some other files. One of them is a recovery.img file. Open a command or PowerShell in the extracted folder. Reboot to fastboot.
Boot to fastboot and run this command
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
Once it boots into TWRP, then click on "install" and locate the TWRP installer zip and select it. It'll most likely be in the download folder. Just make sure you know where the TWRP installer zip is located before you even boot into TWRP

I just checked..... The "sdcard" folder is the one that takes you to the internal storage where the download folder is located. But as soon as you hit 'install" it should've taken you straight to the internal storage. If it didn't, then it sounds like it's still encrypted. If that's the case, then remove any screen locks on your phone before flashing TWRP
AntiSocialSingh said:
@BobbyLynn Let me try once again with the screen lock removed.

When I installed TWRP I didn't have a screen lock. But after installing TWRP I set a screen lock and TWRP decrypted just fine. So I'm guessing if you install TWRP while you have a screen lock it doesn't install properly so it can't decrypt. It appears that any screen locks must be removed before installing and after installing reapply a screen lock

I'm more use to TWRP myself. I started using TWRP about 10 years ago, it was and still is the best recovery out there. I just happened to install crDroid the other day just to test something. And that test turned out to be a great discovery of a simple way to root the stock firmware. Since I have a extra McLaren, I do quite a bit of testing and modding and experimental stuff. I'm currently working on installing the global firmware (unbranding) it. No luck yet, but I might be getting close.

You can bet your ass that if I pull off that trick it'll get LOT'S of comments from people thanking me lol. We've been wanting to install the global firmware on this phone, but nobody can figure out how to mod the ROM to make it flash on this phone. There's some very smart developers that own this phone, so I'm surprised that none of them have figured it out yet. So I've been tinkering around with trying to install it. It's looking like I'm going to have to make some modifications to the global ROM and/or the phone too to make the MSM tool see the phone as a comparable device

Well, yeah, restoring reserve.img is a prerequisite to get OTAs with the bootloader unlocked, but it only has to be done once. After that, for each ota, just restore the boot image to stock (uninstall magisk) and you're good to go
