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.

WARNING DO NOT-DO IT I tried it and it went into fastboot loop, i was lucky that i was able to fix back.
Key Features:
Ability to save custom recovery settings
Default partitions to back up
Default zip folder location
Default color theme (lots to choose from) (Thanks to ffolkes!)
Default Time Zone (for more accurate time stamps)
Zip Signature Verification
Zip md5 Verification (looks for file with zipname.zip.md5)
Ability to flash multiple zips in one go
Ability to select which individual partitions to backup, and restore.
Ability to choose compression or no compression backups.
Compression takes longer of course, but you save roughly half the space. EVO3D's stock system uncompressed is ~800mb, 380mb compressed. You choose.
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.
Home - Main Menu
Menu - Advanced Menu
Back - Up a Menu Level
Search - Select Current Selection
Battery Level and Timestamp (Better safe than sorry)
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? Thanks in advance and sorry guys if I'm using the wrong thread.

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 outdated TWRP 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

It should work as long your bootloader is unlock.
I have 2.5 version and using jelly beans build 20. (Rooted and flashed a year ago with occasional updates.)
Im reading about glitches with 2.6. Should I update my TWRP or not?
And if I do, how without goomanager working? I got the download on the mirror site. But how EXACTLY do I flash it?
Can I select "flash ROM" in goomanager or somehow in TWRP itself?
I understand there is a way with terminal manager but when I read the commands, I want to see quotes on what to type.
Is this the question and troubleshooting forum?

I just download the new TWRP zip, reboot, and install zip from the old version of TWRP. Then reboot and it will be the new version.
Thank you for replying.
But I'm a little unsure of the DETAILS of that procedure.

So, instead of doing a little research, you want a step by step? Here you go:
1. Go here and download the latest zip file --> http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/t0ltevzw
(openrecovery-twrp=2.6.3.0-t0ltevzw.zip
2. Reboot your phone into TWRP recovery (power button, reboot recovery)
3.Click on Install
4. Find your file from open(saved to downloads or where ever)
5. Swipe to confirm flash
6. When it is done, click on Reboot System
7. It will reboot into TWRP and you will be on the latest version

I did step one.
I did several searches on "how to update twrp" and other variations of that search, but invariably they just say "flash it" or "use goomanager". Hell, even twrp.com even says flash it. I could not find step by step directions for flashing a recovery.
Thank you.
I have flashed beans updates with goomanager but screwing up "recovery" makes me nervous!
the easiest way is to go into goo manager. press your phone settings button, and then press install openrecoveryscript. goo manager does the rest
This didn't help my confidence: (from the other twrp thread)
sublimaze said:
Your partition table may have been corrupted when playing with twrp. Flash the stock rom image together with the stock .pit file via Odin. The .pit file is the partition information. You should be able to find these in the stock recovery thread.
Lesson of the day:
If it ain't broke, then don't fix it!
Don't mess with a functioning recovery unless the new version fixes something you really need.

Ah... no.
Goomanager downloads dont hardly work anymore. Sits forever on the download screen. Something about to many people downloading on slow connections.
Hey,
So I'm a noob at this and I tried to root my phone.
Got the Android unified toolkit from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680
And followed wwjoshdew's video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPRWk8d0sUQ&hd
I picked the Allinone root option on the toolkit and proceeded. At the next step, when my phone entered download mode, it said I need to flash the recovery, recommended TWRP. But in the video, josh directly opens the root folder on odin and starts that. I did what josh did and that completed successfully. But when my device rebooted, on the toolkit, it said could not find recovery and I should try again. And there is no supersu on my phone either.
What have I done wrong? Do I need to flash the recovery before rooting?
Thanks in advance.
You have did only root.
But... a custom recovery is highly recommended (the better is Philz Recovery, CWM-based with some TWRP function).
Also a root manager is reccomended: Superuser is a great open source alternative to SuperSU, but I can't say you which is the best.
Ps actually I can't see video guide nor thread, my answer is based on what you said in the topic, so at first tell me if phone in "Settings > Info about" menu result with a custom firmware instead official. Otherwise you haven't even did root.
It's showing the stock version. No custom build. I just wanted to root so I could use apps like Greenify.
Do I need to do a flash the recovery first?

I didn't ask you for stock or custom rom. If you did root, in "Info about phone" the system status is showed as "custom".
Greenify should works also without root, but with limitations.
Recovery is highly recommended for you and also for some advanced apps who need this to flash something.
Then also a root manager for security reasons and a better device control is reccomended.
You can't stay without both, but I suggest to have both.
Ps without doing root you can't flash anything, nor via Odin! [emoji6]
It's showing Device Status as Official.
I understand that I need to root first before I can do anything. However when I followed the vid, it said before rooting if I had any recovery installed and needed me to install one first.
That's why I'm confused. I thought it was root first then flash recovery.

You haven't to be confused: for example CF-Auto-Root do it and automatically flash recovery (CWM) and root manager (SuperSU).
You can flash them by downloading the device specific file (I9300).
If you want to change root manager simply uninstall SupetSU and download by Play Store Superuser (from Chainfire eh!), if you want dislike or want to update recovery, simply flash another via Odin or zip file.
Advice
My advice is this:
1. search for a MD5 file from Philz Touch like here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/
2. Download Odin3.09 from here: http://www.chip.de/downloads/Odin3_12992520.html
3. Go to download mode by pressing volume down, home button and power on
4. Flash it by clicking AP and select the MD5 file
5. boot to recovery pressing volume up, home button plus power on
6. go to philz settings, Reroot system
7. download SuperSu from market
Than you're done

Without root you can't do anything. This option is useful for people who have maintained Philz Recovery on an unrooted system.
I think I screwed the pooch here...
I tried to update TWRP to 3.0.0.2 through TWRP 3.0.0.0 and chose the recovery partition. Didn't work and have lost all TWRP functions, unable to reboot into recovery mode.
I tried to do it through the CMD screen and didn't work either.
Then tried to install TWRP as an apk from Google Play and rooting with SuperSu via Google Play... it won't update the binaries though.
I have the S-ON too.
Any suggestions or help available, I am quite frustrated. The phone is working though as I have a CM Nightly 6.01 version installed.
HTC phones are a little more difficult (for me at least) compared to the LG G3 I had and the One PlusOne.
Thanks in Advance
Download Flashify from the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
Open flashify select recovery image, select download twrp, select Htc m9 then choose the recovery you want to flash. You will get a prompt asking if you want to flash, you will have 2 choices "maybe not and yup"
Choose yup it will flash twrp and recommend a reboot

Thanks for the help and such. It didn't work cause my SuperSu root is messed up and I can't update the binaries.
I don't know if getting the Sunshine apk for unlocking the S-ON function will work or not, I guess I give it a go next week when my SSI check arrives.
Thanks again! :good:
