After trying a few roms, decided to go back to the stock amazon firmware.
With the Kindle Fiie Utility version 0.9.6, installed options 2,3 and 5... permanent boot, twrp and firefirefire.
Went into TWRP 2.1.1, did wipe, factory reset, wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache then installed the stock rom from amazon then did another wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache in that order. (not even sure if thats the right order for flashing a rom)
After rebooting, my kindle is stuck at the "kindle fire" logo, have read though every many threads here and tried multiple de-brick tools, none of them worked.
Problem is when i first turn on the Kindle, windows sees it as a drive letter for one a second then it goes away. The drivers are installed properly also.
Any suggestion appreciated.
Since i can no longer get access to the kindle as usb-drive letter, how can i unbrick it?

I rooted my kindle fire. Then i wanted to resize my partition on kindle fire. So i used fireparted. When i rebooted my kindle it didnt load completely. So i installed it back to stock.

yeah when you restore to stock it wipes out fff and twrp and your root so use kfu to install twrp and fff again no need to root if your gonna flash a rom just make sure you allow installation from unknown sources under device once you can access twrp make a backup that you will later rename noroot631 then flash to you liking
It says on KFU ADB Statusnline Boot Status: Unknown, and when i try to install twrp it doesnt do anything And when i try to reset it to factory it says failed to mount /cache(no such file directory) At the end.

Keep working with your drivers It says online
What????
He means, make sure your drivers are installed correctly. You can check out tutorials and stuff on YouTube.
My kindle fire doesnt even boot up to the home screen. It says "Your Kindle has detected a problem and must clear App storage. The recovery process will erase applications and data from your debice. Apps from the appstore are stored in the cloud and can be reinstalled later. This will reset your kindit to its orgional factory settings. You will need to re-register your Kindle prior to downloading items from you Amazon account. Please press the power button to proceed." So when i press the power button it says reseting then is said "failed to mount /cache."
It doesn't reset back to factory. WHy is that??
any ideas?
Bump...
Cause you messed up your partitions using parted and then flashed stock who knows what you broke if I had to guess I bet something isn't mounting like your cache or SD card
Hey guys, trying to root this kindle for my friend. Ive two so far. I dunno what happened but I'm stuck in TWRP. I was using kindle fire utility 0.9.6 did option 2 to install super user, then went to option 3 and it froze up so I powered on and off, now the fire is booting into this TWRP and I have no idea how to install the hellfile rom that I want. the ROM is not on the sd card and I can't get it to mount so I can view it on my computer when plugged in.
i need help!!!
UPDATE*
I just ran # 4 while rebooting and it seemed to install CWR..now I'm back to what appears to be stock kindle software. wtfff is going on
you definately do not want cwmr...
Did the ROM maybe go to a download folder? Once you get into twrp do a backup first thing then factory wipe, wipe(not format) cache and dalvik. Then hit install and browse the files/folders until you find your ROM and install. Reboot system. And yeah...dump cwm.
And you should really try installing su thru the recovery and try your hand at adb..
I've successfully rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and installed TWRP. I then put the zip file provided by Hashcode onto my device, wiped my cache and dalvik cache, and proceeded to install the new ROM.
After a successful install, I rebooted. It optimizes 65 installed apps, and then reboots again. An hour later the Cyanogen Mod logo is still spinning. I figured that was long enough to assume something went wrong. I powered down, went into TWRP and tried to mount storage so I could replace the Cm10.1 file with my backup files to go back to Stock. I'm receiving the following error when trying to mount storage though:
Code:
E:Unable to locate volume information for USB storage mode.
So I attempted using ADB Sideload, but at no point have I managed to get my Kindle recognized by the ADB server. I appear to be in some hell where my device still "works," but I have no way to put anything on it to fix it.
My last option appears to be fastboot. I am able to get into fastboot mode on the Kindle, though I don't know what to do with it. I'm familiar with all the other steps from my original Kindle Fire, but I never got this deep into it. Wanted to see if someone could give me some direction before I really break this thing.
Update: Alright, so between the FAQ (Item 11) and Hashcode's instructions on restoring backups I've managed to get my Kindle back to stock. I panicked and posted prematurely, so sorry for crapping up the forum. Shout outs to Hashcode and Soupmagnet for their posts.
I seem to have tried to wipe everything on my kindle fire first generation trying to restore as my backup of the stock rom has been deleted. It was also not currently on any rom and i can not get it to boot up it just stays in the twrp boot screen instead of transitioning to the normal orange and white one. I can however still boot into recovery just not to the rom itself being that there is none. The mount option does not work as it will not come up visibly on the computer or under the hardware/device manager. So all in all i have no way to connect my kindle to install the stock rom back again. Please help as fast as possible. I have checked many other threads to no avail and this is were im at stuck with a dead kindle.

Go into mounts inside TWRP and mount sdcard. Once sdcard is mounted you will be able to see it on your computer when a USB cable is connected. Place a different rom onto the sdcard and unmount sdcard. Wipe data (factory reset) and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Go to install and install the new rom you placed onto the sdcard. You should be all set, it should boot now.
If it doesn't, you may be stuck in fastboot. To get out of fastboot, connect to the computer and run KFU and select number 1.

as i said in my post the mount option will not work on the twrp and it will not come up visibly
it will boot just not past the blue kindle fire twrp logo because there is no rom

You have to press the power button repeatedly at the blue fire logo to enter recovery

Hi guys, so I was going to give my old KF to my nephew as a gift. It was rooted, with TWRP and had CM10. So i tried to restore it to its original state (unrooted with the stock KF ROM). After I flashed it back to the original OS, I wiped the cache, the dalvik and the system using TWRP and accidentally deleted my OS. Now, when i boot it, it remains at the KF logo (white and orange so it means it has the stock bootloader). I also cant access TWRP ( i guess i've deleted FFF as well ). i would be so greatful if anyone could help me. i'm also a noob so if you could please tell me step by step on how to fix my KF.

-im not from the US so I dont have the factory cable
-when i try to use the KFU, it says ADB Status: Online ; Boot Status: Unknown
-when i try to install TWRP or FFF via KFU, it stops at "waiting for device"
Thank you!
the only way i found it, its making a factory cable
it happens the same thing to me, and i dont live in us i make one. its easy, see a few tutos and make, when you have one conect and install twrp, then, mount and copy a rom or if you have one restore its better
