So I got my Kindle Fire a few months ago, already rooted. I went from TWRP to a CWM-based recovery, and I've been installing ROMs ever since without any issues. I'm currently running a CM9-based ROM, and I decided to play around with the softkeys, because I was tired of the bland white look. So I found some custom softkeys and flashed the .zip. I made sure to make a Nandroid before flashing, of course.
Upon rebooting from the flash, my KF got stuck in a bootloop. No biggie, this has happened before. I shut it down and rebooted to recovery, to restore the backup. But when it boots into recovery, it automatically reflashes the softkeys zip, and then reboots into the never-ending bootloop.
So the KF isn't necessarily bricked, I just can't get into recovery without it flashing a corrupted zip. I've tried two different unbricking tools, neither had any effect on it. Any ideas?
Can you mount SD card in Recovery and delete the Zip file through your PC?

I only wish I could. As soon as I boot into recovery, it flashed the zip, then reboots into the bootloop. I suspect this happens because I used ROM Manager to flash the zip, and recovery hasn't reset itself because the device isn't booting up all the way. So every time I try to access recovery, it performs the last action I gave it, which was to flash the zip.
I hope you aren't using Hashcode's (older) CWMR or you might be looking at a much larger problem.

I'm not sure what's going on with your device, but the only way I know to get the recovery to do something on start up is to create a /cache/recovery/command file. That file should be a one time use command and get deleted after use, so your report of it happening each time you boot into recovery is puzzling.
If you want to take that out of the equation, I think you should either get to a shell prompt and delete the file manually or erase the cache partition entirely. Try getting to fastboot mode, boot a copy of the TWRP image, and hopefully it won't reboot on you automatically so you can use adb shell. Alternatively, erase the cache partition entirely with fastboot. If you do the latter, you'll probably need to remake the ext4 filesystem on the cache partition. Here are some fastboot references to get you started...

Thanks for all that, but I managed to fastboot into it, and then wipe system and data. Then I rebooted to recovery and restored my backup. Never fastbooted into a device before, or done anything with adb commands, so it was a fun experience.
same symptoms: KF bootlooping, no recovery
Hi there,
I have a rooted/modded KF with MIUI, FFF 1.4a and TWRP.
After I gave it away to someone, who only "used it", it is now stuck in a bootloop.
I can get into fastboot via fastboot.exe and re-flashed FFF and TWRP, but no change: KF boots with the white/blue logo, I can press the powerbutton to get into recovery, but TWRP doesn´t show up. When I boot normally, it looks the same: Black screen after a few seconds.
I read about the battery issues, so I booted the KF with a fastboot command waiting to the device. The white/blue KF logo showd up and I left the device at the USB port at my PC for a complete night: no change
I tried to set another bootmode via fastboot.exe but the code doesn´t seem to make any difference.
I have a second KF which runs just fine (now with AOKP M5.1).
Is it bricked now?

I'm not an expert on the KF, but from what you've described, I don't think it's bricked. Have you tried fastboot wiping system and data?

Are you pushing the power button several times quickly when you see the white kindle blue fire and selecting recovery?

You need to select with the power button or the new fff will just tell it to boot normal also twrp is better if you intend to flash anything ics related

Yes. I also tried to enter recovery just by setting bootmode to 5001 with fastboot. This didn´t work either.
Try setting the bootmode to normal then use the power button to toggle to recovery after reflashing twrp also how your flashing them is incorrect

this one is really wrong your flashing the bootloader to the recovery partition dunno your doing something strange and thats your issue
you may wanna use firekit to get your bootloader and recovery correctly sent to avoid further issues http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
or like this leaving the id out
fastboot flash bootloader \path\to\fff.bin
fastboot flash recovery \path\to\twrp.img
Hi,
i did flash fff.img to boot(loader) , and after that CWM.img to recovery. But the image is in a folder called "recovery", perhaps this was confusing.
you wrote that you flashed it to boot not bootloader but yes its confusing
try again after an erase I guess
fastboot erase bootloader
fastboot erase recovery
or with the id -i 0x1949
Did that, no success:

ok unplug it then hold your power button down for 1 min then power it on use power button to toggle to recovery option in boot menu see what you get if that doesnt work redownload twrp img and send that again without erase also there is a small chance you could be remaining in fastboot but I doubt it try select reset bootmode as well but you have no system at this point so getting to recovery is imperative
What does "fastboot boot twrp.img" do for you?
I flashed clockworkmod recovery a couple days ago, not knowing that TWRP was out there. I'm trying to flash TWRP but now my phone won't boot into recovery after flashing. I tried erasing the cache and still no luck. Here's how I did it
Code:

Then when I try to boot into recovery I get the HTC logo with pink text saying it's booting into recovery, it stalls, and then reboots normally. I'm running CM 10.2 and using adb in linux mint.
i had the same problem, i just left clockwork on there, i gave up after flashing it like 30 times. I did all the exact same things as you. Also checked the MD5 and verified what i had was what it was. Just letting you know i had the same problem as you, id love to find a answer myself. BTW you can still flash clockwork back on it to do recoveries.
I've come across more than one person online who has the same problem too but no definative answer.
I wonder what would happen if you wiped the recovery partition in CWM and then tried flashing twrp...
What if you tried the recovery in the thread about taking the update. And then flash twrp...worth a shot.

You're using the wrong image for TWRP on the HTC One. What you want is
"openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7vzw.img".
I had a problem while trying to flash TWRP as well (I got my root and s-off with rumrun) , I'm just going to stick with CM, its much simpler anyway.

Have you tried the newest version of Philz Touch? philz_touch_6.43.6-m8.img See if maybe it works better. If it still doesn't boot maybe discuss the issue in the official thread [m8][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch see if Phil can help you with a solution.
Can you flash the image? If so, it could be that boot is disabled on the GPe (which would be weird but not unheard of with HTC phones)
Solved
Appears I was using a recovery image that was too old. Once philz_touch_6.26.6-m8.img was replaced with the latest philz_touch_6.43.6-m8.img it all worked fine.
Thanks.
HTC One X won't boot. Somehow it stuck in bootloop while leaved unattended and spend all the battery.
Ok, I've read many threads here about the topic and after many different things tried (Power+VolUp under bright light, Charger batch script...)

no I am sure you don't do something right try again redownload CWM or TWRP check the MD5SUM then flash it don.t flash boot.img.
1. Delete all img files from your fastboot folder
2. Paste only your ecovery.img file there and rename it to recovery.img
3. run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. run fastboot erase cache
5. Powerdown the power from bootloader manu and disconnect the phone from computer
6. Press and hold volume down and then press and hold power button until you go in bootloader, choice recovery and press power button
7. Report
Don't flash any boot.img or other things only recovery. If you go in recovery then install the rom and then and last flash the boot.img from rom.archive

Press and hold FIRST THE VOLUME DOWN then PRESS and HOLD THE POWER BUTTON until you go in bootloader
And why you don't disconnect the cable from PC and with the volume down go to Power Down option in bootloader and press Power button to confirm this will turn off your phone

As I wrote eariler, I've done exactly as you said.
I know the combo for entering bootloader and I know it suppose to be first VolDn and then Power.
My Power+VolUp in previous post does not show the order I pressed the key. Sorry for me not being clear enough.

I am disconnecting, but since you wrote
5. Powerdown the power from bootloader manu AND disconnect the phone from computer
Click to expand...

I was follow that order, first powerdown from menu and then disconnect.
In that case red LED turn on before I was able to disconnect the USB cable.
I will try to first disconnect USB cable so that phone goes back from FASTBOOT USB into just FASTBOOT and then power down from menu.
And then VolDn+Power to enter bootloader and recovery.
My battery drop to 3.700mV so I need to recharge it a while.
p.s.
Thanks for your help and time.
No progress. Always ending at "htc quietly brilliant" screen.
I will try different recoveries with same steps but I don't see why would other work
when twrp 2.8.0.0 with good md5sum does not.

Hi guys, I would like to ask for a help. I was on New Layout (SlimKat 9.0). I wanted to try something at Old Layout ROM, so like a stupid I wiped everything (cache, data and system thru recovery), then I flashed fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win (Old Layout Backup) and Old Layout TWRP.
But after that, I can't access recovery (I only see picture of TWRP for 1 second, then it reboots with bootloop). So I flashed New Layout TWRP again together with fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win (I got backups from Old & New Layout).
Then I tried
fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
fastboot flash system system.ext4.win
fastboot erase cache
but nothing helps. I am simply without ROM and accessible recovery. Anybody has idea what to do please? Thx a lot!

Nope. I wish I could. I only see TWRP blue image for 1 second or so, then it goes to bootloop.
Did you try the famous:
fastboot erase cache ?

The file was not found But I got this version of TWRP (from you) stored on external hdd as a backup, and on my D partition. It's still the same. Bootloop. I wish I could transfer some ROM zip to sdcard and install it lol.

Thx but I am stuck again lmao. As I was on New Layout, UMS doesn't work. Sideload - same. omg. Will do it tomorrow. But weird thing is, that only latest CWM and philz touch 6.19.3 were able to be installed.
After this, TWRP 2.8.1.0 installed. Everything's going to normal. Thanks both of u guys
