Deleting files from the system folder only affects the current rom(or as you call it, operating system) and doesn't affect ADB or the TWRP recovery program. You can use TWRP to install a new rom, even the stock Kindle rom.
I can't post links, so search google for "kindle fire software update" and you should find amazon's page to download the latest stock rom for the kindle fire. Rename the file to update.zip and transfer it to the storage on your kindle. You can then use TWRP to select the zip file and re-install the stock kindle rom. This WILL break your root, so use the Kindle Fire utility that's linked in the development forum if you want to re-root your kindle.
If you don't have TWRP installed, try using the Kindle Fire Utility (in the development forum) to install TWRP or recover your kindle fire. I hope this helps!

TWRP is the recovery program that you can boot into before the rom loads. You can use the Kindle Fire Utility to install TWRP. If the kindle fire utility isn't working, you can try installing TWRP manually, but you will also need to install FireFireFire, which is the boot loader that replaces the stock kindle loader and allows you to boot into TWRP.
The most important thing is to have ADB access. If you can plug the kindle fire into your PC and get ADB working, you can fix pretty much anything.

How i can be sure that adb is working?

download the latest kfu from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
extract to c:\ and rename "kindle fire utility" to "kfu"
cd to c:\kfu and run "install_drivers.bat"
cd to c:\kfu\tools and type:
"adb devices" - get a response ?
"fastboot devices" - get a respose ?
you should get a response from one of the commands

I have to mention when in b63 post where your in the tools folder it easier to right click inside that folder in an empty space within it, and then press the keyboard's shift key for an option from the right clicked dropdown to open a command prompt window right there. Then type adb devices followed by enter key. Optimum would be a device ##000000000 sorta output in that tiny window , whereas then you could close it and click run in the kindle fire utility from the download. You can see more options to root your device to here with "status info".

Same problem

>>> Hi, I have the same problem here. I accidentally deleted my rooted KF system with no rom saved on my KF (I'm a noob). Now, I did the steps you mentioned above.
This is what I have:
-When I typed ad devices it says "list of devices attached :15FE000600000001"
-Got nothing when typed "fastboot devices.
-On KFU it says" adb statusnline', "boot status:unknown".
-I can't install the Fastboot mode on the KF because it stays on waiting for device.
-My pc recognizes the Kindle as a device on the Device Manager, but I can't explore it because it doesn't show up on My Computer.
-I have already unistalled, deleted, re-install the drivers many times. The one that comes with KFU only makes the adb status go offline. The only driver that makes it show on the computer is the one I get when I connect the KF to the computer and let it download a driver by itself.
Please tell me, what can I do to make it show up so I can paste the rom on the device.

You're getting confused with how adb and fastboot work. I suggest reading this to get a better understanding.

Thanks, I have read it like 3 times, it's just a little confusing for someone dealing with rooting for the first time. What I get is that I need to get the KF come up on Windows so I can paste the rom into the KF and that the KF needs to be in fastboot to install the rom.
Anyway, now the Kindle shows up on KFU as "online" and the bootmode is "4000", but still nothing comes up on the explorer. Twrp is installed and I'm able to load it, but I did not make a Backup. How can I install the system again?

If twrp is installed when you boot into it click on mount, then click mount usb, this is the only way it's going to show up as a mass storage device on your pc so that you can transfer a rom over to it.

Put both zips on your sdcard in zip form, wipe factory/data reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash rom zip, flash gapps zip, reboot then system if prompted.

Thank you so much!!! :laugh:
I have done what you told me and my Kindle is now working. It's already downloading my files from the cloud.
(Sorry for the long reply, I had to go to work.)

Very good you`re welcome.

[Q] Stuck in Recovery Boot TWRP

TLDR: i system restored my kindle using the KF launcher. cant get past TWRP and KFU says im still in Recovery mode 5001. (TWRP 2.0.0 KFU 0.9.5)
When i selecte 1. Bootmode menue -> 1. Normal <4000> all i get out of KFU is "The system cannot find the drive specified.
Soooo i used the KFU 0.9.5 on my kindle fire 6.3 to root and install FIREFIREFIRE and TWRP. Then i installed google play store. Then google said to update my kindle app and i was all "yeah yeah w/e w/e." Well that update maid it so that my kindle kindle build in app wouldnt read any of my books or documents. This troubled me. Since it is late at night i figured i would just system restore and reinstall the root and stuff since KFU makes it all so easy.
Now im stuck in REcovery boot 5001 and cant get further than TWRP. pretty sure EVERYTHING is wiped, which isnt an issue, i jsut want my kindle to do its thing.
So i read around on the forums and realize i have 2 options, try to install and flash Kindle software 6.3 onto it using TWRP or 2. just get the kindle out of recovery and back into normal boot 4000.
HOWEVER, when i try to use KFU to boot into normal mode i get "the system cannot find the drive specified."
any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading around on the forums but am hesitant to move forward and make the problem any worse than it already is.
so what do i do?

Try this:
Turn Kindle off
Uninstall/delete drivers
Reinstall drivers
Navigate to KFU's tools folder containing fastboot.exe
Shift + right-click on the tools folder
Select Run in Command prompt (or something like that)
When the prompt comes up, enter:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000 (if firefirefire is installed)
or
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 (if firefirefire is not installed)
When it says "<waiting for device>“ turn the Kindle on
Your prompt should reflect the change but it may not (wait about 30 sec.)
Hold power button for 30 sec to shut down
The device should boot normally

i was only ever able to find the drivers for the kindle to delete them when it was plugged in and operating normally as a kindle. where do i go about finding them now in Win 7 x64?
not to be a complete nub. i did a qick google search and searched "device manager" but that was result-less.
should i just install the drivers again w/o uninstalling them? will that handle it properly? after this hiccup i cant wait to try what you suggested to fix it.

I don't use Windows, for this and so many other reasons. If you can only delete the drivers with the device plugged in, then do so. You may want to reboot afterwards though.
Then reinstall your drivers, turn the device off and carry on.

in case anyone else is looking, i didnt uninstall the drivers but instead re-ran the drivers install.bat in KFU, then did as told. im now at the Kindle Fire screen and hopefully it will boot up. IT DID.
so thanks a lot, friend. you just made my day.

[Q] Unbrick Kindle Fire ClockworkMod

I've looked around the forums and I am not finding instructions on how to unbrick a Kindle Fire that has ClockworkMod installed. I installed ClockworkMod and installed a late ICS build with kernel 3.0 and the Fire is stuck in an infinite boot loop with the Kindle Fire/Android mascot logo.
I can get into ClockworkMod but re-flashing with the CM9 that I have doesn't do anything to fix it.
I know that if I were able to put the stock Kindle firmware on that /sdcard volume I can fix this but how do I do this with ClockworkMod?
I've tried all the unbricking utils (even the Java front-end) and they act like they're fixing things but they all make no changes.
I do have the correct drivers and can send adb commands to fastboot, normal boot, recovery boot, so I'm pretty sure I'm just missing how to unbrick a Kindle that is using ClockworkMod.
Thanks in advance.

When you say "infinite bootloop" do you mean the device turns on, shows the boot logo, then reboots?
If so... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25400963
Also CWM will not work with the latest versions of ICS, you need to flash TWRP.

I recommend people copy both the Kindle standard image as well as the customized image to the /sdcard volume. That way if you're stuck with a bricked Kindle at least you can re-install the original Kindle image and get back to where you were before.
I ordered a factory cable to get it to boot into factory recovery mode, which I know works in all cases.
In the meantime I'm going to attempt to try the steps in that post.
After that I'll try to mount the original Kindle system image from a USB drive (using the USB boot feature of CWM) and then try to install it from there and then go back to TWRP or FireFireFire.
I've successfully used FireFireFire before, but using CWM bricked my Kindle hard. I'll update this thread when it's working again.
Thanks for the info.

Okay, I successfully unbricked it.
It wasn't so much a hard brick or a soft brick but more of a firm bricking.
I went into CWM and told it to mount the USB volume. The 5 gigabyte drive appeared on my computer and I formatted it.
I took the Amazon stock update and changed its file extension to zip.
I then copied it from the computer to the mounted volume.
I chose the zip for installation and then installed it from CWM.
After shutting down and rebooting a few times it worked.
I didn't even have to do any ADB tricks. This is because I had a working CWM boot image.
Now it's off to more hacking!!

I am having the same problem... how did you get into clockwork? it doesnt stay on long enough for me to connect it to the KFU

I did the same thing. You'll need to go into CWM and mount it as usb storage and then it will show up on your desktop as a disk drive. Format it from there to wipe out the crap that's hanging it up and then reinstall either your rom or stock amazon rom.

I am int he same boat. How did you or can I get into Clockwork

I'm not very knowledgeable about CWM but I do have an idea. Try turning off kindle by holding down power button, plug kindle in to computer and turn it on. Open KFU, if it says that adb is online, then you have your fix. Just set the boot mode to recovery and you should boot right in to cwm.

[Q] Demo Kindle Fire ADB Help

I know that this has been gone over multiple times, but I can't get any of the other threads to help so I figured I'd post my own.
Basically, I worked for Best Buy for awhile, rooted the demo Kindle Fire we got at work and that was that. So I figured I could get a demo Kindle Fire off Ebay and just get it rooted and Rom'ed. Well, I can't get the damn thing to be recognized by my computer in ADB.
I've literally tried everything, I've changed the android_usb.ini file to include the 0x1949 and the other file to have the kindle fire in it. Then I tried to point the Kindle to the new file that was changed. Everytime I update the driver it stays as the MTP Device and I can't get it to ADB Composite. I've tried the KFF and that doesn't work either. Uninstalled drivers and reinstalled with no success.
Also, it seems that every time I plug the Kindle into the computer it reinstalls the Drivers.
I do have a Factory Cable on the way so I'm hoping that that will work for me if nothing else does.
Thanks in advance all.

As long as the factory cable you speak of is the fastboot cable that is all you will need. Simply get it into fastboot, flash FFF and TWRP, transfer a Rom.zip and Gapps.zip to the sdcard, do a full wipe in recovery minus the sdcard/external storage. Flash Rom, flash Gapps and reboot. if you get it properly into fastboot your driver will read Android ADB interface. If your running windows 8 you need to disable driver signature verification in order to install the driver.

Thanks! It should be here today so I'm excited. I read all of what you've posted multiple times now in other threads, I just haven't been able to get it into fastboot so I'm really hoping that fastboot cable works for me.
Thanks for the quick reply Pooch.

Well. It's bricked. Couldn't get it to boot into twrp. After trying for awhile I decided to just flash fff as I knew the recovery was there. I get nothing now. Completely black screen and no led on power button. I've tried the whole firekit short usb with no luck. It gets past the first part but then just sits at waiting for device. So I'm lost. Is it fried?

[Q] Help

So I am in a bind.
I had TWRP and N2K type utiltiy that was working. i tried to wipe and reset and here is where i am now.
so i have a first generation kindle fire. i load TWRP and get to recovery boot which brings me to team win. TWRP is version 2.6.3.0.
I do not have access to the kindle drivers. so the only thing i can do is access it though mount.
so i mounted the device and added the most recent update (changing it to update.zip) but its not working. it still starts with the blue kindle fire setting and only in TWRP. i cant recover it to normal. when i go into the device i only have 2 folder. TWRP and .android_secure.
i just want to know how to get back to factory settings. I tried using a kindle boot device but it wont recognized the kindle because it is only recognizing it as a usb drive.
any ideas? not sure what other information you need to help. please help - thanks!

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
