Hi all,
First let me say that I am new to this site so bare with me. Okay so my first tablet was a first gen Amazon Kindle Fire. After using the device for years upon end I decided that I disliked the Amazon Kindle OS and even the reading capabilities of it. Upon getting an Android phone the Kindle seemed to pale in comparison as it's apps were hardly ever updated and its app store was a disaster. So taking a leap of faith I decided to look up how to flash an Android ROM onto the device. So using the Kindle fire utility I troubleshooted flashing TWRP onto the recovery boot. However for the life of me I could not get the drivers to communicate with the Kindlea and the boot status was "unknown". Being the ignorant and impatient person I am (haha) I decided to use an app called flashify to flash the TWRP into recovery mode on my Kindle. Well little did I know that flashify was not the best option or it wasn't compatible, so I ended up in a boot loop with a device that could no longer connect to my computer using ADB composite device drivers. Frustrated I bought a factory fast boot cable and plugged it in. Now I was able to get out of the boot loop and use fast boot commands to boot and flash images. I flashed TWRP onto the device (finally) and it quickly, without user interaction, brought me to the "wipe device" button. I knew that I had to do this so I tapped the button but the Kindle did not respond, actually not responding to any touch or tap regardless of where on the screen. I quickly understood that I was unable to use the version of TWRP that I have. Unfortunately even after booting up every version of TWRP otter and blaze I still am not able to have any touchscreen capability. If I press the power button it locks the TWRP screen like expected but since the touchscreen doesn't interact with the Kindle I am unable to unlock the device and have to hard reset the Kindle(holding power down for 20 sec). So I tried flashing cannibal open touch recovery and the touchscreen worked (yay!) However it worked in a weird way where I was not able to select an option. I was only able to move and browse my cursor through options. So once again a dead end. So guys I am at a loss right now. I refuse to believe that my Kindle is just a paper weight and I feel like I'm close to being able to flashing an Android ROM. Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks so much
Josh
