I have a kindle fire hdx thor. I had Kindle roll back my OS to 3.2.8 I then rooted with towelroot and installed safestrap. I created a new rom slot, and tried to wipe it, but accidentally wiped my stock OS and now I can not unlock the bootloader. Is there a way to unlock my bootloader or get the original OS back?
-Thank you

Hello,
I've a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 with Software 14.3.1.0 (This device is rootet, the bootloader is unlocked, OTA is disabled and it never was connected to the WLAN)
Now i want to install TWRP. Therefore stock image 14.3.2.3.2 is neccessary.
I've downloaded update-kindle-14.3.2.3.2_user_323001720.bin from Amazon website put this to my "internal storage" folder. (rights 755)
But if i go to device -> system updates thers just a button to check for updates. If i click on this one the kindle wants to connect to the internet (got to wlan settings)
Can anyone tell me how to update my Kindle to 14.3.2.3.2

Actually you can install TWRP on 3.1.0 already, and I'd recommend it, too.
Then you can update the 3.2.3.2 bootloader via TWRP, no need to flash the entire update. Note that you will have to unlock the bootloader again, as both the Fire OS update and the 3.2.3.2 bootloader are not unlocked, at least AFAIR.
And be sure to backup your Fire OS in TWRP and move the backup to your PC before you flash any custom ROM.
OK. Thanks for that. Installation of TWRP on 3.1.0 works. Update bootloader to 3.2.3.2 also.
Hi,
I followed the wrong instructions to root my HDX 7. I hope there is a way to undo my idiotic mistakes.
I have a HDX 7" with Fire OS 4.5.2 rooted with KingRoot. Flashify installed.
I followed [Root] OS 4, 5.0.n and Install Lollipop & Gapps ("Newbie Friendly") to root my kindle, but I only got to step A.
When I followed [How To] Install TWRP on OS 4.5.3 and Boot Recovery (newbie friendly) to try to install TWRP, I couldn't get it to boot in TWRP recovery, it would be stuck in the grey logo forever. I could still boot OS though.
Apparently the instructions are not meant for my device but for HD 6 and 7, but I only realized I was following the wrong thread after the problem occurred.
I am not sure how serious the problem is. I hope you guys can help me fix the problem.
Thank you very much!

You cannot flash lollipop or twrp to hdx 7 as the bootloader is perma locked. The most you can do is use safestrap and flash cm 11 or fire nexus Rom which are both based off 4.4.2 as the kernel is untouchable and can only run these versions. Your attempt at flashing twrp should have had no affect seeing as the it us perma locked so that shouldn't matter
Hello. I have Kindle Fire HDX with NexusROM firmware (1.4.3), Anroid version: 4.2.2, Kernel version: 3.4.0, Safestrap Recovery v3.72(TWRP v2.7.0.0) and my ROM slot is stock
I want to upgrade my firmware to CM13 without bricking my device.
The steps are:
1) Rollback to .3.2.4 (.3.2.4 Rollback Images) (replace stockrom slot?)
2) Install .3.1.0 stock update firmware. (But where can i take it?)
3) Unlock bootloader with 1-Click bootloader.
4) Install TWRP 3.0.2.0 using Flashify
5) Flash CM13
Does this steps are correct?

Looks good, however use 14.3.2.3.2 instead of 14.3.1.0. The reason been graphical glitches, installation issues etc can be avoided.
Let me know if you can't find the stock firmware. I can post it when i am at my PC next time.

How do you know that I have Apollo device?)
I found 14.3.2.3.2 firmware in Stock firmwares for Kindle Fire HDX (Thor-Apollo).
So, i need wipe all partition, then install 14.3.2.4 firmware in my safestrap?

Jedi mind trick ?
Just used the 14. Prefix accidentally.
So do I need to downgrade or what? How do I root kindle fire os 5.3.3.0? My kindle fire is hd 6 4th gen
Yep. There's a thread around here somewhere outlining the process. The basics are: Set up ADB on Kindle and PC. Sideload Fire OS 4.5.3 to your Kindle via ADB. Block OTA updates. Root via your preferred method. Install TWRP. Use TWRP to flash 5.3.3.0 bootloader and ROM back to your Kindle. Done.
I know it's a pain in the arse to go through all that, and in the end you don't even get to keep TWRP, but as far as I know it's the only possible way to get root on the HD 6 and 7 4th gen right now. At least until Kingroot is updated.
You can't flash twrp right after flashing 5.3.3.0? Or will the kindle not boot?

No. Your Kindle would still boot, you just wouldn't have a recovery anymore. For whatever reason TWRP doesn't play well with bootloaders above 4.5.x. So if you were to flash TWRP in 5.x, you overwrite the stock recovery. Upon reboot, TWRP won't work since you have 5.x bootloaders, and your stock recovery is gone since it was overwritten by TWRP. So you're in the nasty situation of having no recovery and no way to get one back.
Somewhere in the rooting thread there is mention of an automated script that will flash 4.5 bootloaders for you and then boot into TWRP. Once you're done just flash your 5.x bootloaders back and reboot. Not a permanent fix, but at least it's all done on the Kindle itself (no need for a PC once it's set up) and there's no chance of ending up without a recovery since TWRP is ran in memory and not flashed so your stock recovery stays intact.
There's a detailed tutorial that I've updated and simplified for 5.3.3.0 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72466867&postcount=540
Hi all, sorry to jump in here, but does Fire HD 6 have OTG support for flash drive?
I have a Thor device that currently run on Android 7.1 - Remix OS and TWRP 3.0.
I want to install Stock FireOS firmware on it. I've tried the TWRP flashable stock images but didn't work for me.
