Flashing a rom with TWRP – Kindle Fire
30
May
This is just a really quick post to answer some question I keep getting.
1. Download the rom you want and the gapps package if required.
2. Put the files on the root of your sd card.
3. Power off the Kindle.
4. Power on the Kindle keep pushing the power button until the menu at the bottom changes to recovery.
You are in recovery if a curtain comes down that says Team Win
5. Tap wipe, and choose Factory Reset. (This will erase the Kindle)
6. Tap the home button at the top.
7. Tap install, choose your .zips from the right column.
If your rom requires a separate gapps package flash it too before rebooting.
8. Tap the home button at the top.
9. Tap Reboot, choose system.
Thats it.

My new Site

Hello all,
Thanks for making BreakDroid a success. I mostly made it just to see if I could and so far it has worked out. I have had several thousand downloads thus far. Donations are pretty low about $50 total but thats not why I made it in the first place it’s just a perk. Anyway to point of this post it to introduce you to my newest site Steven’s Scripts. Like I said earlier I just like to tinker and see if I can make things work by scripting them for automation. If you have a Mac check it out. Most of my scripts are for Mac but some may work on linux.
My first script is for Mac users with Google Voice.
