Hi there,
Anyone know if Kindle Fire HDX development methods could be applicable to the Fire phone? I'm interested in putting some effort into developing roots / unlocking bootloader but am unsure where to start in regards to Android development on this level.
Thanks for any advice you can toss my way

new Kindle Fire HD7
Hi,
I've just got a Kindle Fire HD7 but I'm unsure if I can root it and install a custom ROM. I've read on the subject but there's been some conflicting info so I'd like to know for sure. I've had experience in rooting, etc Nexus models but nothing about Kindles.
Settings say it's a fourth generation model, running "FireOS 4.5.1".
Thanks!
Installing Custom ROM on Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7" (2012)
Thanks for putting all the needed tools in one place.
While I've rooted and installed ROMs on my phone through ODIN, I haven't done anything as extensive as this seems to be and I want to make sure I'm doing things in the correct order. I originally assumed all the tools were listed in the order used but research indicates otherwise.
- Ensure I have a fastboot cable
- Apply Windows Bug Fix

- Install 2nd bootloader

- Install TWRP Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218796
- Root

- Beanstalk ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799589
I'm skipping installing a custom kernel
Does the Kindle Fire HD 7 (2012) still require a Fastboot cable to just gain root?
No just download adb and root with restore bin4ry

Nook hd+ root
I consider myself tech saavy but this rooting business is giving me a VERY hard time. ive read many posts about rooting the nook hd + and none of it makes sense. Is there a complete dummies guide out there that can help me understand what it is im attempting to do. Ive registered the device and currently running 2.2.1 software and BNTV600 Model.

This is a very old thread and is obsolete. And it depends on what you mean by "root". Usually rooting means adding root access rights to your stock ROM. But some users mean that they want a rooted alternate ROM like CM put on their device to replace the stock ROM.
If you want the former, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and it gives instructions for adding root access to your stock ROM. It is up to date.
If you want the latter, go to the dummies guide also linked in my signature. It will give you instructions on how to replace your stock ROM with a rooted form of CM.

If your HD+ does not seem to want to boot off SD, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288688.
Hi posted a reply on this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...g-nook-hd-internal-emmc-t3562818#post71653625
If someone can assist with it. It regards had CM11 on HD+, and trouble either installing fresh or upgrading to LN14. I don't know if people that advise in these forums only see questions/messages in the main forum versus buried in an old thread, so thought it safer to have a pointer to it here. Thanks
Always find these forums helpful, though never had an account before. Hoping someone will be able to help me with Fire Toolbox on a Fire HD 8. I'll post my question in the appropriate forum.
