Install TWRP 2.0 on Amazon Kindle Fire

    TWRP is a recovery mode bootloader. This mode is used to backup your device or restore from a backup.

    You perform all operations at your own peril and risk! The author is not responsible for equipment damaged by this procedure!

    Initial data:
    - the device must be fully charged and be rooted
    - installed Android SDK
    - fastboot program ( fastboot.exe )
    - skills for using adb program

    Download the TWRP bootloader twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img in the same folder where the adb utility is located (in the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK).

    We connect the device to the computer.

    At the command prompt, type the following commands:

    adb shell
    idme bootmode 4002
    exit
    fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
    

    On the computer screen you will see the inscription . If Fire itself does not reboot, turn it off by long pressing the power button and turn it back on. You should see the TWRP splash screen on the Fire screen, and then the installation procedure. If Fire stopped on the Amazon Fire logo, then you can stop fastboot and give the command fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img again.

    After installing TWRP, type the following commands:

    adb shell
    idme bootmode 4000
    reboot
    

    The device will reboot and you will see the yellow triangle recovery bootloader instead of Amazon Fire. To boot into recovery mode, continue to hold the power button. For a regular download, just wait.

    After loading, your computer may say that the device is unknown. Then download this android_winusb.inf driver , put it in the \ Android \ extras \ google \ usb_driver \ folder and reinstall the Fire driver specifying this folder.
