Bootloader? - Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I know which bootloader I have? Does the Kernel version (3.10.20+) tell me? I'm running Android 4.4.2 and currently have root access with TWRP installed. I tried to flash the CM11 ROM available here but it will not install. And GAPPS tells me not enough room.

Noob trying to root an unlocked bootloader 311 tab z

As the title says I'm a noob with non samsung devices.
I updated to 4.3 and unlocked the bootloader thinking it would easier to root the tablet.
What I want is to have a custom recovery and root acces with my stock 10.4.B.0.577 firmware on a 16 gigs wifi only (311) tablet z.
On my moto x I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a stock kernel with a custom recovery and there I flashed super su but I can't find a stock 4.3 kernel for this tab.
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590602 guide but I think I wont gain the custom recovery.
Any ideas?
Did I miss any thread?
Little Kernel maybe?
If Little Kernel is the way to go, I'd like to know if it's independent of the android version I'm running.

Omnirom and SGP311

Hi. When I try to install latest Omnirom Nightly I get an error. Im on stock 4.2.2 rooted and custom recovery. Latest TWRP reports an error that my tablet is a Pollux and that the software is for Pollux_Windy. But I have a Pollux_Windy. Can it have something to do with firmware I used when I rooted the device? Can I change it somwhere with a text editor? I had to go back to a US. 370 version to be able to root and then a Uk 4.2.2 version to get to stock 4.2.2 with root where I am right now. After factory reset it asked me If I want to use the phone? Strange.
You can only flash AOSP ROMs from stock 4.3 or higher in my experience on the pollux windy , likely due to a partition layout change

[Q] Installing ICS CM 9 using TWRP 2.7.1.0

I am using OMNI ROM 4.4.4 KITKAT on my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100. I want to install ICS ROM CM9. I have TWRP 2.7.1.0. Is it ok to flash CM9 using this TWRP version or should I install CWM. Please guide me how to use TWRP to install this ICS version. I have read ICS versions require different Recovery Modes due to different Bootloader. Is TWRP/CWM back compatible i.e does the latest TWRP/CWM capable enough to install all previous versions of ROMs. Also guide me how to use TWRP as I am comfortable with CWM.

I want to install custom ROMS

Hi. I've been searching all over xda to find out what exactly I need to do to be able to flash custom roms running 7.1 Nougat, but I find my self bouncing back and forth trying to figure out the exact procedure to take, in which I need clarification and guidance.
Specs:
Model: KIW-L24
Build: KIW-L24C567B130
Android Version: 5.1.1 (Lollipop)
Rooted: YES
Boot loader status: UNLOCKED
TWRP installed: YES
I am wanting to flash custom ROMs like lineage and cosmicOS, but they all require a stock MarshMallow update before proceeding. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how I think I am supposed to do this:
1st: download KIW-L24C567B331_Stock_Plus_Stock_Recovery.7z (Which I believe is MM 6.0.1)
2nd: flash the stock image and recovery using TWRP
3rd: flash TWRP back on to get rid of stock recovery
4th: flash custom ROM that requires a stock MM update
Is this the correct procedure?
Thank you.
