Yes you should probably flash something. That's why you always make a backup

made a backup and it erased that too. just tried cm7 with no success. will keep trying.
Ok, This happened to me on my DHD, Try to fastboot a recovery and flash it. Use the one doomlord made then Flash. BUT before you do that make sure to have the update on your sdcard.
every zip i tried says installed then when u reboot system it goes directly back twrp

I was in the same situation last month. The only solution for me was to flash the stock ROM and start over from scratch.

I followed these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20438599&postcount=1 I've never tried it with a pre-rooted ROM, so YMMV. Like I said I flashed this and started the root process over from scratch and this is what worked.

tried update.zip method but did not work. got an android with a exclamation mark while trying to flash.

just do a full wipe and flash through cwm.
Personally, I don't like it. The gains aren't worth what you sacrifice

not much aside from the acer ring, whenever you rotate you get a black flash. it's a bit irritating and you don't get much as it is incomplete

thanks and got it flashed on there now!
EDIT: Obviously I am an Idiot.... I flashed this recovery and now I am not sure how to get to the recovery to make a nandroid backup and whatnot. i tried t backup using ROM manager and got the android with exclamation on boot. and I also tried to bring up recovery by holding the volume up while booting and all it did was try to update and fail.
I just need a little bit more detail in getting this and once I get this squared away I swear I will be good to go for now on. Also I appreciate your alls patience and helpfulness!
edit 2: found recovery. hit home key after red android thing. shows Android system recovery<3e>. is this correct? nothing in the options there allow me to backup nandroid.

It is worth the trouble if...
A. You know what you are doing.
B. You read and research.
C. You know how to recover in the event something goes wrong.
Flashing isn't for everyone. Even if you follow directions things can still go wrong in rare situations. That's just the nature of flashing.

Hi guys, this is my first time to flash my Kindle. I rooted my KF using KFU V0.9.6 and installed TWRP 2.3.1.1.
I have may OS backup in TWRP. I flash AOKP Milestone 6 and it keeps rebooting. So i tried other roms. I flashed gederom, jandcane and cm10/sg7 but all of them are stuck in bootanimation. This was my guide in flashing my KF, techhive.com/article/258452/how_to_install_ice_cream_sandwich_on_your_kindle_fire.html,
I followed all the instructions there. Guys help, what do i miss? I can still recover my stock KF OS. TIA
Here is a link to Amazon's website for the official stock software to flash on the Kindle if you want it back to being just like you took it out of the box brand new. You'll have to re-root it if you flash this stock software. Hope it helps http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620#download

In settings check the box that says " use rm -rf instead of formatting" perform a full wipe minus your external storage and try and flash a rom again.

Will there eventually be an app for unlocking the bootloader on the 10.3 firmware? I don't have the factory cable and it sounds like a lot of people have bricked their device doing the downgrade to 10.2.
I hope so. I am not gonna even try it... Lol instead rooted it and used Kindlefree app to install Nova and used titanium backup. So it's "like" Android but not quite lol....

But if I downgrade my bootloader I won't have to use the whole 2nd bootloader method and all that right? Won't I then just be able to use some utility to flash TWRP and then flash a ROM? This Kindle thing is probably a little more intimidating than anything else I've messed with. I have mine rooted and a bunch of other hacks but I want pure Android on. I don't want a brick though..

So, it looks like I have screwed something up. This figures as my luck is terrible with this freegin Kindle. So I got TWRP recovery working fine. I DL Cyanogenmod 10.1 and Gapps accordingly. Went into TWRP of course made a backup, then went to flash. I wiped EVERYTHING and went to flash the ROM. I received the error <Could Not Open .zip> So now I have nothing on file except a bad .zip. I did re-download the ROM assuming it was bad and restored my TWRP backup. Now I am stuck in what appears to be a Kindle Bootloop. The Kindle Fire (Orange) logo comes up, a few seconds later it blinks back off again and recycles. Now what? I can't get the Kindle to boot so I can put the .zip back on the machine. I am STUCK. This sucks... :crying:

I did the exact same thing when i got my kindle back in January. (Yeah, i had to order my cable right after that )
For some reason I've never been able to restore a stock TWRP backup on the kf2. It always borks the bootloader.
I know there is a special requirement that our bootloader uses a file called stack on the system partition- that's why you can't get into recovery now (when you wiped the system it wiped the stack file which let's us run the second bootloader.)
Anyway, Once you have the fastboot cable its really easy to get things going again. Pm me if you need a hand.. I've been through this myself a few times lol.
If you ever end up in the same situation again where you wiped the system and the zip is bad... Stay in twrp and use "adb sideload" to push a good zip from pc.

I actually tried the side load through TWRP. When I typed "adb devices" it showed my device in host mode and the file wouldn't transfer although TWRP was in adb sideload mode. But then I just thought "oh well guess I'll restore my backup" lol. Yeah that didn't work out..

**As a special note however DO NOT restore your factory backup if you have trouble. You will end up like me. Bootlooping with a fast boot cable in the mail.** if I could go back in time I would've downloaded the files via a hard line rather than slow wifi and maybe even double downloaded.. Oh well.

I can't seem to reboot into recovery correctly. Every attempt just lands me back in the stock firmware. Rebooting from there to recovery via adb just gives me the Motorola warning.

No dice. Rebooting to recovery even with that just leaves me staring at the boot image.
EDIT: I remember reading that those who took the KitKat OTA got a different boot image that makes going back to Jellybean difficult, if not impossible. Could that have anything to do with this?

Which recovery are you flashing? It should read TWRP2710-RAZR_M-KITKAT.img.

Bah, pay me no mind. I was trying to flash a CWM recovery because that's what I'm familiar with. I tried the one you just named and it works fine.
Sorry about that!
Just an FYI I couldn't get rashr to even look for the file so I tried flashify and it installed recovery with ease.
Thanks for the links attack. I don't like to try these flashing apks without a recommendation.

Are you Fastboot flashing?
Guys KEEP IN MIND:
These are not officials, these are fairly beta builds. You will get errors, I was hoping this would reach some crack-flashers.
That's basically who this is for.

How can we get onto official CM then?
I know it has something to do with the kernel. We can't downgrade the kernel to the one CM is using? Or we have to wait until CM move up to kernel 3.4?

The latest Nightly is from February, which is 4.4.2.
Honestly keep checking that website, and check XDA.
Since the bootloader has been unlocked there should be a lot of movement / action in the dev section.
I would honestly not flash anything older, I mean feel free to mess around w/ kernel that are newer than 4.4.2 on CM.
I can't promise anything if you're on stock. I hope that helped at least a bit.
Didn't think this deserved its own thread, but could someone on 4.4.2 upload their systemui.apk real quick?

I was, but in the end I followed @ATTACK 's advice and used the apps from the Play Store. My impatience and forgetfulness caused me to butt my head against a metaphorical brick wall a few times, but I managed.
