Android 4.3 ports are starting to come in, slowly but surely. An Android 4.3 rom, built from source is now available for the first generation KindleFire. Below are the basic requirements for you to try Android 4.3 on your first generation Kindle Fire:-

• Should be running FireFireFire Bootloader 1.4a
• Should have a custom recovery like TWRP installed

You can use this thread to install the FireFireFire bootloader and install a custom recovery. Once done all you need to do is download the Android 4.3 rom and gapps from here, place the zip files in your Kindle Fire’s internal memory and flash them in recovery (rom followed by gapps). Make sure to do a factory reset from recovery before flashing the zip files and also take a backup.

Pre-requiste – You need to have a custom recovery installed, TWRP is preferred for this root method as issues have been reported with CWM.

• Download SuperSU by Chainfire
• Place the zip in your Nexus device’s internal memory
• Reboot into recovery and flash the file and you should have root

If you insist on using CWM then you need to uncheck the option to “disable stock recovery flash” in case it shows up.

Hey, you can’t jailbreak an Android.. yeah, i know, but “Jailbreak” is a protected act under the USA DMCA Exemption of 2012 and “Unlocking” is illegal without carrier permission. There will be no misunderstandings here.

Here is a video tutorial by Adam himself:-

5. From fastboot use the command “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img” , this is considering that the name of the recovery file downloaded is recovery.img, in case it is something else just change the file name in the command, also make sure that the recovery file is in the same folder as the fastboot executable
