How to install update zip on Kindle Fire with TWRP 2.0? (Video)

For me, TWRP 2.0 Recovery is a must installed tool on Amazon Kindle Fire. You can install custom mod like theme, boot animation, applications and even ROM with TWRP 2.0. It is very simple to install them because all you need to do is copy the update zip file to Kindle Fire sdcard (internal storage). Then install it at TWRP 2.0. No PC or Mac is required. However, not every custom build zip is friendly to your Kindle Fire. Be sure to make a full Kindle Fire system backup with TWRP 2.0 before apply any update zip. Just restore to previous backup package if anything go wrong. A beginner and new to TWRP 2.0 Recovery? Do check out below step by step video tutorial guide to learn more…
