ClockworkMod Recovery is a must install tool for Android devices. I have it on Android HTC HD2 and Samsung Galaxy S II. However, ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) does not support touchscreen interface for the moment. So can’t be used on Amazon Kindle Fire with just 1 physical button ~ power button. The lack of volume rocker makes CWM impossible to use on Kindle Fire. Thanks to TeamWin. They developed Team Win Recovery Project 2.0 (or TWRP 2.0 for short) for several Android devices like HTC EVO 3D, HTC Sensation, Google Nexus S, NOOK Color, Amazon Kindle Fire. TWRP 2.0 is a custom recovery with touchscreen interface support. So it is a perfect custom recovery for Kindle Fire.
TWRP 2.0 Features
- Ability to save custom recovery settings
- Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
- XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout – true theming!
- Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
- Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
- Ability to choose to compress backups – now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

So. I have a kindle fire running jellybean. I used twrp to install t, by later decided to install cwm. Is there a way to remove it? Or can you tell me how to get twrp as my bootloader again? Thanks
Hi Joshua, just install TWRP to replace CWM.
Hey, Jayce. I tried that the very first thing, and it won’t revert back to TWRP. I have tried that half a dozen times since then, and it doesn’t do anything. Is there a support forum for either TWRP or CWM that I can get more advice on?
And thanks for the fast reply.
You can consult others at XDA website then.
