Before we move on to the instruction section, first we need to remind you that we are not responsible if your device gets damaged or bricked during the process. So please practice the entire instruction at your own risk.

Requirements to install CM7 on Kindle Fire with Audio and In-Browser Video:

• A rooted Kindle Fire.
• CyanogenMod 7 ROM.
• Kindle Fire’s ClockworkMod recovery.
• Stock recovery.
• log last_log.

Instructions to install CM7 on Kindle Fire with Audio and In-Browser Video:

1. The installation process begins with downloading the required files. It is including download the ROM, KF’s recovery, and log last_log. file from the link above and copy them to the root of your SD card.
2. Once done, you need also download the stock recovery as well, but do not copy it to the root of your SD card.
3. After this connect your device with the PC and open up terminal or command prompt to enter the following commands:

adb shell
cd cache
mkdir recovery
cd /
cp /sdcard/log /cache/recovery/
cp /sdcard/last_log /cache/recovery/
dd if=/sdcard/updaterecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery
idme bootmode 0×5001
reboot

4. Now in recovery, you will see that the first option highlighted, is Install update.zip from sdcard. Press the Power button (ok).
5. Simply press the button for once more, when prompted to install. The recovery is modded because it can’t be navigated through right now. No here is actually Yes so just select that.
6. Once the ROM is flashed, but at this stage, you don’t need to reboot your device, open up command prompt or terminal and navigate to the location where the stock recovery is.
7. Now enter the following commands:

adb shell
mount sdcard
exit
adb push/sbin/
dd if=/sbin/stockrecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery
adb reboot

Once you have finished practicing the instruction above, the device will reboot twice now, and once it’s done, the CM7 logo will appear. In case there is problem during the installation, simply visit the forum thread at XDA-Developers. Apart from that, you can also get updated information related to the Rom in there.
