Can't find answers to my specific issues topic

I tried to root my 8.9 kfhd 8.5.1 from a youtube video. I got stuck on the blue kindlefire screen. Through different guides I am able to get to twrp and fastboot. I have not been able to install a rom zip on the device through a cut and paste or a push command. I have left messages in a few threads and got a little response, but nothing that got me fixed. I've working on this for 2 weeks and read dozens of threads and cannot find a solution. I guess I had adb working at one time and had the drivers installed, but I'm not sure if ADB is working and my drivers are gone. I tried this thread "Frequently Asked Questions - 2nd Generation Kindle Fires " which directed me to this thread " [GUIDE] Kindle Fire For Beginners [GUIDE] Kindle Fire For Beginn… Post #2 " where I thought following this "How do I install the ADB drivers?" would be the way to go. So I followed it to here "[Root][TWRP][FFF][CWM]Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6 (5/09/12) [First Gen Only] " and it warns me not to use it on my 8.9. So I looked some more and found this "Let's take some of the mystery out of getting ADB working in Windows ". I think I can get through these instructions correctly, but I now not sure if I this is the proper course of action considering I can get to fastboot and twrp. I've looked for a simpler solution to fix this. I even tried the push command to try and get liquid smooth rom and gapps onto the devices sdcard with no luck.

I am a total newbee and most of the lingo goes right over my head. The following is the original log of my first rooting attempt using this guide ......

Today I tried a factory reset thinking I could push a rom and gapps on the sdcard, but of course that didn't work either.

I don't want to ask people to rehash the same questions over and over but being this far down the road I don't know if I can start the rooting process over or just what. Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Boost S3 can't receive SMS/MMS from specific people/person topic

I have a friend who I've been texting since December 2014 and suddenly today they stopped receiving the messages from me. Messages can be received from others, but not from me. I'm not on any block list or anything. I've tried sending pics and they also don't work. I've tried sending messages to other people and they say they receive the message right away. I'm using ATT GoPhone with a Nexus 5 they have Boost with an S3.

I'm using Cataclysm 5.0.2 and they use stock Android 4.4.2 from Boost.

I've tried explaining how to find the APN settings but they said they can't find it anywhere.
