Kindle Fire Video Collection

I have released three videos, one for sideloading apps to an unrooted kindle fire that aren't available in the amazon app store, one for rooting and unrooting the kindle fire, and one for installing the android market once the kindle is rooted. All of these videos can be followed without the need to install ADB.

[Thunderbolt] Miui ROM

Some brilliant devs have gotten an almost fully working miui rom working for the thunderbolt. It now has working data (3g and 4g) and SMS. Mostly everything else works, but you should check out the original post linked below to see a full list and instructions on how to install.

Kindle Fire

I have pre ordered a Kindle Fire and plan on releasing rooting and modding videos to YouTube.  It should arrive November 17th, and I intend on hacking this thing up as soon as root and (hopefully) a version of stock android is modded for it.  I see great potential in this small, affordable tablet and hope it gets as much developer support as the HP touch pad has. If it does, then I will be posting walkthroughs to my YouTube channel.

How to Downgrade Incredible 2, 2.3.4 Bootloader to Root

At the moment, revolutionary will only root an Incredible 2 running 2.3.3. If you've upgraded to 2.3.4 then you've been out of luck. If you follow this thread (and the original method thread linked in this thread) you should be able to downgrade your boot loader to the 2.3.3 boot loader so you can root using revolutionary. I can't provide much support for this since I do not have an incredible 2 anymore.

Update:

I've now made a How To video showing this procedure. Follow the link below for the video.

GB OTA Build 2.11.605.5 - Rooted & Debloated

Here is the Gingerbread OTA that was released on October 25, 2011. It is build number 2.11.605.5 and has many improvements over the last OTA that was taken down quickly. This ROM is the official stock build but with root and is debloated (all the crap apps are removed). To flash, put the ROM on your sd card, boot to recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, mounts and storage, wipe system partition, then choose zip from sd card and flash.

Official MR3 Gingerbread 2.11.605.3 OTA

Here is a link for the stock gingerbread OTA, system build 2.11.605.3, but it is rooted and debloated. For everyone who wants to stay stock but have root and no bloat, this rom is for you. Yes, you need to register with the forum to download, but team bamf does great work so its worth it.

• Overglow animations(1.0.1)
• Redraw fix (1.0.1)
• Battery percentages from uber with the cool red lightning bolt (1.0.1)

Forced OTA Updates on Rooted Thunderbolt

I have been hearing a lot lately that after rooting, peoples' phones are updating automatically over night. Their phone usually will then not boot up and keeps shutting off. This situation is not as bad as it use to be now with the revolutionary root method because the revolutionary bootloader will not be overwritten by an ota, keeping the s-off status. I found the article that is linked below that explains different methods on how to recovery from this situation. To avoid these updates in the future, I would suggest installing a custom rom. If you need any help with that there is a video linked below as well. Also, feel free to post in my new forum.
