Custom Recovery: TWRP
This custom recovery can only be installed from fastboot, as the bootloader has no exploit. To enter fastboot mode, a fastboot cable (A.K.A. "Fire factory cable", "Motorola factory cable") is needed.
Powering up the device with this cable connected will show an orange 'fastboot' logo shortly after the normal 'Kindle Fire' logo.
TODO:
- walkthrough of directions from the CyanogenMod guide [1]
Cyanogen will install a second, unlocked copy of u-boot to enable custom recovery and unsigned boot images. postmarketOS also relies on the second stage bootloader being present to boot currently.
