2.Download your software: Click the following link to download the software update file directly to your computer: Download Software Update 10.2.1
3.Transfer software to your Kindle Fire: Turn on your Kindle Fire and unlock the screen. Then connect it to your computer using a USB cable. On your Kindle Fire drive (the drive is typically displayed as a "device" icon), open the Internal storage folder. Drag and drop the new update file from your computer to the kindleupdates folder on your Kindle drive. Do not drop the file into any other folder on the Kindle drive.
4.Monitor file transfer and disconnect: Check your file transfer progress to ensure file transfer to your Kindle is complete before disconnecting. After the file has transferred successfully, disconnect the USB cable from your Kindle and your computer.
5.Start the software update: On the Home screen, swipe down from the top and select More. Tap Device, and then tap About. Then tap Update Your Kindle. Your Kindle will restart during the update. After the restart, you will see Your Kindle is Updating.

if we can change the MLO, i think it can be used in 1st kindle fire.
it's added :
Code:
# Script used to flash MLO
#
# if /proc/product_name doesn't exist then we flash by default do not flash anything
if is_substring("Otter2 Eng", file_getstring("/proc/product_name"))
then
ui_print("Copy MLO-AMZN-4430-ENG into xloader partition...");
package_extract_file("MLO-AMZN-4430-ENG", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/xloader");
ui_print("Copy u-boot.bin into bootloader partition...");
package_extract_file("u-boot.bin", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/bootloader");
ui_print("Copy boot.img into boot partition...");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot");
else
if is_substring("Otter2 Dummy", file_getstring("/proc/product_name"))

Hey. I was wondering if anybody could just port the launcher to the original fire. Is that possible?

I've seen it

Where?

The new launcher is based on 4.0.3 and the original Fire runs 2.3 for stock.

Yes. But could somebody make a flashable zip file or the programs tied to the launcher to modify an ics rom for it? Is it possible?

No. They both run ics

I'm there aND there
Wish i knew how to write software to help I'm just saying thanks for trying and I'm one of those folks who constantly loads this thread hoping someone found a way!! Keep up the good work guys!!

Hey I just wanted to comment that no app from the second gen kindle fire works for me. They just force close. However for the HD I got setup running but it crashed at the end. So maybe it would be easier to port the HD rom.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app

The HD, none of the specs are the same. Thus, It is probably not possible unless we modify a lot of applications.

Hi everyone, looks like the kindle fire HD and the upcoming nook tablets HDs have a similarity between the TI OMAP processors.
On the kindle fire HD it has the TI OMAP 4460 and the nook tab HD's have the OMAP TI 4470, both dual layered.
Does anyone have the binary drivers for the kindle fire HD? Or if someone has a git repo on this device for kernel development? Kind of curious if the binary drivers are in the same family or if there is discrepancy between the drivers between those two processors. Looking to possibly port over what work done here to the upcoming Nook HDs and get my team up and going on kernel development. Also interested in the sound codec drivers.
What work we do can also be shared here with you guys also.

Will this return a rooted/hacked/modded KF2 to stock?

sounds feasible may be someone has already tried this option, I will search the web and see

cant we get a ics rom (aka hellfire) to run the launcher?

I think if you removed the files and lines in the updater-script that flash any sort of bootloader or recovery, you should be fine.
If you can strip everything out except the system ROM itself, then you should be able to get that alone to install via TWRP without issue. It'd be like installing any other ROM.

App Amazon Kindle can handle only PRC, you have to convert .mobi -> .prc
that easy, you rename your .mobi to .prc then it will be ok with this tool
OK thanks
I converted some books from epub to mobi with calibre and renamed them to prc. Transferring went well, but the books do not appear anywhere in kindle on my device. What am I doing wrong here?
[Edit]
Alright, after I started kindle for the third time all of a sudden all books appeared. Great job, thank you.

I can't deploy any ebooks anymore. The issue is that I can't drag and drop the files to your PRC adder. The mouse cursor always turns into that "forbidden" thing. Could it be related to the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 final version I have installed on my system?
Awesome work and awesome tools you really come up with really helpful tools..thanks ..thanks a lot
Hi, the Oxford American dictionary in kindle is important for me.
So can I put the dictionary in it with this tool?
PS,I can't download dictionary to kindle which is downloaded from marketplace anyway,I'm very confused.
thanks a lot

No Flash Player

That is what I have been reading on some owner reviews and they are returning their purchase.
The original Fire had Flash installed, didn't it? Only JellyBean OS does not support it but doesn't ICS?
I assume that you didn't hear the news that Adobe discontinued the Flash app from ALL devices a few months ago.
It's no longer available to download... from the Play Store or the Amazon Appstore.

True. Have you tried to side load the last available version though? Should be able to make that work though I don't know if the Fire HD browser will actually work with it.
You can still sideload flash and it should work

flash is still available from the play store for a while longer as a large partner persuaded then to put it back. The rumour is it was the BBC due to the iplayer using it.

Well there is enough complaints about it on Amazon from owners AND plenty of websites still utilize it so they will need to make a decision for now if they want to keep the KFHD or not regardless.
Developers here have a workaround for Flash on the Nexus 7 with a whole thread dedicated so maybe that will happen with this one also.
Adobe's plans are to stop supporting Flash altogether for websites and push for HTML5. As much as I hate to admit it, Apple may have been onto something in not supporting Flash.
i side loaded it and it didnt work. browser doesnt recognze...
I guess one has to find out which browsers support it then and sideload that one from 1mobile or Getjar and maybe it will work.
Flash being a no go is a showstopper for me. I plan to trade in my original Fire to Best Buy for $75 towards this new one BUT I watch TV show reruns ALOT and most all use Flash on their sites and since I can do it on my original fire, ...

Just searched the Play Store and found nothing for Adobe Flash.. Maybe you are mistaken. Looking through my apps, through a browser on my computer, it is no longer listed.
if you search for flash in the play store, choose the open flash app and under "Users who viewed this also viewed" you'll see adobe flash.
You can sideload flash using the site in my signature. For a browser, since Im guessing the KF broswer has no flash support try using Firefox or Dolphin HD. Since the KF is ICS and not JB based it should be easy to get flash working.

Thanks much. Not having Flash is a bigger issue for me than not being able to have an alternate launcher presently so your post is a plus for me wanting to try the new KF. And folks definitely are going to need a different browser so thanks for bringing that up as well.
Flash on KFHD confirmed. It took me literally 2 mins of sideloading the apks.

Ok here is what I did exactly:
1. Get the apks
-I downloaded the flash apk from spunker88 link.
-Downloaded dolphin from my GS3 and used ES file explorer to backup to apk.
2. Sideload the apks
-Sideload the Dolphin browser first and then the Flash apk
-I used ES file explorer on the Kindle to sideload
3. Restart the Kindle
Ok I never re started lemme try that.

Have you guys tried using another browser than Dolphin? Dolphin has stated that they will drop support for flash some dumb reason. Have you guys tried Boat Browser and Opera?

Your website shows up fine on my Kindle. I am using the same version dolphin (8.8.1). I installed dolphin first and then the flash apk. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the apks.
I went from the Nook Tablet to the Nexus 7. Sideloaded Flash on the N7 has been noticeably buggier as might be expected with the loss of Jellybean support, particularly when going full screen and back. However the picture quality on the Nook is worse with pixelation, which I suspect is a GB/Honeycomb issue (Verizon Xyboards had it too from store testing). Since the Kindle HD is ICS, I'm wondering if it might give the best of both worlds providing a browser adequately supports it?

the last I checked windows 95 and 98 were free. I was doing a search for a license key a year ago and came across an article saying that this guy phoned Microsoft and they said that he can have a universal key and told him he can upload it to the internet and share it with his friends because they don't support them anymore.

if you use qemu you shouldnt install SDL.

Err okay which is better, Dosbox turbo + boot IMG from it - at least I get to the Starting screen for Windows 95 before black screen and nothing,
OR
this limbo /QEMU with the settings described here? Better sounds and performance with which one?
I want to run some late 90s games that require windows. I tried in the Dosbox on the PC and there when I boot in Windows 95 I get nothing but drive C: and windows files, it is all inside the mounted image in DosBox, I mean how do you even see the files if browsing windows from your phone wont show you the files of your phone but just the Windwows drive C: and the IMG's files.
P.S here is a site to download bochs/QEMU apk from forum .xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459153

i tested only limbo, but it hasnt big performance on my phone. however pre-installed games work!
maybe u can create a 2nd harddisk with your files, because is not possible to show/open internal memory or sdcard
ok I found the post that I was talking about. Its a generic product key provided by Microsoft for windows 98. I would guess that when I call them tomorrow they will be willing to give me a key for windows 95.

Fastboot and Adb already configured will be needed(i will not explain how to do this).
2nd: Install Factory Image
-just extract the .zip, and run flash-all.sh(or .bat if you using windows)
3rd:Extract the .TOT
-first, extract BinExtractor zip into the same folder as the .tot
-go to the location where bin extractor and the LGE960 .tot is(it must be the same)(ps: i use c:\ to be more easy to use the files).
-rename the .tot to a.bin
-open cmd as admin and type BinExtractor -extract a.bin
-it will say a warning about not finding magical number, just type "y"(without quotes) and press enter.
-then it will crash(if not skip), to fix the crash, right click BinExtractor.exe,go to compability and use Windows XP SP3
- if has crashed do again the command BinExtractor -extract a.bin, type y and press enter again.
-now you will see another warning, type y again and press enter, and wait until it finishes
4th:Installing the new System
- turn off your phone, and turn on as fastboot mode(vol down and power)
-open cmd where the fastboot folder is located and type fastboot erase system and press enter
- on that cmd, after it finishes type fastboot flash system <path\to\17-System.img\that\will\be\in\the\same\folder\as\a.bin>
- when it finishes, you just need to reboot and wait untill it finishes loading
Thanks(no order)

About The Phone(System Updates dosent work, it dont find any)
Dev Options(Some Options That i didnt saw on official 4.2.2, like simulate second display and bug report):

The rom is stable, sometimes launcher crashes but its rare.
It uses less 20mb of ram the normal 4.2 & 4.2.2
some buttons are slightly changed from official 4.2
on about the phone you see that the kernel is from 2013 but that is because we are using 4.2.2 one(remember, after factory reset we only flashes system.img not boot.img)
whats the point? We have stable 4.2 (which is old) and we are on 4.4.

its not to use as daily driver, but its cool, to see how 4.2 was before release. and any aplication(except for benchmark) uses any of the api additions of 4.3 or 4.4 so yeah.
also 4.4 system ui is laggy.

Noobs don't get what you are doing. It's not to flash. It's a legacy of 4.2 as a work in progress. What's so hard to understand? Thanks for posting

Back to school.....really?
Thanks for sharing! I love having stuff like this to play with when I'm bored and I feel like tinkering. It's also something I love having in my factory image collection. I still have factory roms from all my past devices because I never know when I'll feel like playing around with one some time.

It is not 'a' file, it is several files and they are specific to your device.

thank you for your advise,and I find the partition of factory destroyed,but I remove the 7,8,9,10 patitions by using the adb command,and make a new 7,8,9,10 patitions. At the same time I make all the backups of the partition, I know the 5th partition (rom.img)contains the important message.now could you provide the "*.img" files of the 1,2,3,4 partitions to me? and the files is not very big.I want to try your method of unbricking the nook hd.Thanks!

Partition 7 is the critical one. Without that you cannot fix partition 5. And without p5 it will not boot. P5 is specific to your device.
Let me see about getting you p1-4. If I can, I will PM you.

the size of all the seperated file is only 1 KB,I don`t know if they are correct or not and I don`t know the number of the files are correct.
Now I have three problems want to ask you:
1. I could start my Nook hd tablet,but it only stay in the display of "Nook", If does it prove the the P1 to P4 are not destroyed ?
2.As you said, the P7 is the important partition.now if you willing to transfer the file for me ,if is it unbricked by using my p5 and your p7?
3.if the above method is not good ,do you have the good solution for unbricking the nook hd?
I look forward to your reply ,thank you?

How do you know p7 was not good? The critical file in p7 can be recreated from p5. Just zip the files in p5 and name the file 'rombackup.zip'. Copy it to p7. I can provide the other files there as they are standard. P1-4 are standard for stock and I should be able to provide those to you.
And I don't know the answer to whether it will boot normally if p1-4 are replaced. Normally flashing a stock rom will give you all new p1-4. But there may be a structural problem with your p1-4 that dd'ing new will fix. But I really don't know if your issue is partition related, it may be something else.
Edit: I just sent you a PM with links to the img files.
