http://www.linuxandlife.com – I just got a Kindle Fire HD as gift for Christmas. I somehow prefer it over the Nexus 7 because of the sound and screen quality. But one little problem with the Kindle Fire HD is that unlike Windows, Linux doesnt auto-recognize it. (HowTos)

My problem is that I am unable to mount my Kindle Fire in order to add books to it.

[Q] KFHD or KFTT? 34 weeks 6 days ago

As the description by Amazon, the model is KFTT for Kindle Fire 7“ HD.

KFHD or KFTT, is best name???

BTW, all the Kindle Fire model as follow: 1st gen Kindle Fire: Kindle Fire 2nd gen Kindle Fire: KFOT 7”HD Kindle Fire: KFTT WiFi 8.9“HD Kindle Fire:WFJWI WAN8.9"HD Kindle Fire:WFJWA

So i used the tutorial i found here: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fir...le-fire-6-3-1/

to try to root my kindle fire first gen. Well it froze at the logo after a fastboot command was sent. I have spent about 3 hours trying to fix it with no luck. ADB does not connect at all, windows says theres a problem with the hardware. I cant get any connections to it whatsoever.

The Kindle Fire 2 is now a part of the 7" Kindle Fire HD forum.

In terms of software, the Kindle Fire 2 is much closer to the 7" Kindle Fire HD than the original Kindle Fire. The two are similarly equipped with locked bootloaders, run ICS and share the same rooting method. Consequently, the KF2 has now been made a part of this 7" KF HD forum.

I have both a Kindle Fire HD and a Nexus 7. I've sideloaded several apps from the Nexus to the Kindle fire - that's no problem. What I wonder is if anyone has done the opposite? The Kindle app on the Nexus 7 is not as good in that:It does not offer the text to speech option Bookmarking leaves a lot to be desired Note taking isn't as good I use my Nexus to proofread ebooks before releasing them.

Ok, so i got a friend who has CM9 installed on her kindle fire. She's trying to transfer files using a Mac but it doesn't recognize it. Any ideas? Does it have to do with Mac lacking mtp support?

I was using "Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9" with option "3" (install latest TWRP Recovery). I was following a tutorial, but it might have been for a different fireware and version of the utility.

After this it got stuck on the "kindle fire" screen, now nothing recognizes it.

I've attempted to root my kindle fire with the kindle fire utility and it wasn't 100% successful. Im stuck on the kindle fire screen where it's booting up and it's on an endless cycle whether plugged into the computer, or charging through the outlet. It's also completely unrecognized when I do plug it into my laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated to unbrick it.
