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.
ok, this is probably been a question asked and answer many times now. so please bare with me. my kindle is stuck in twrp boot loop. it will only boot to twrp. when using kfu and trying to change boot mode from 5001 to 4000, i get the message: system cannot find the drive specified.
my kindle has nothing on it but a ics zip and twrp. there is no backup, nothing else.
when i try to install the driver for kfu 9, my pc wont install it. although i have the other drivers working (the drivers that make my pc see my kindle as a android device).
any help would be appreciated. thanks.

I used the Kindle FIre Utility that was stickied to install ClockworkMod. Unfortunately, the utility gives an error message when I attempted to root or install FFF or really do anything else. However, I was able to boot into CWM using the utility. I remember from my experience with ROMs on the Samsung Captivate (AT&T) that installing new ROMs would overwrite things like being unrooted or even recovery mode itself. So I downloaded the zip of Alien Droid and flashed it using ClockworkMod. I wiped data and cache and dalvik cache. I then rebooted the device to find it bootlooping on the Alien Droid logo. So I plug it back into the computer, the computer recognizes the ADB interface as "Android." However, Kindle Fire Utility does not recognize the device anymore since it is not known as "kindle" or at least that's what I seemed to gather. So It's stuck bootlooping for now and I'm not sure how to get it out of the boot loop or how to get back to stock. Anybody have any pointers?

The version that came with the Kindle Fire Utility I linked above. I'm not sure what number it is, but it allowed for touch functions and was black with red text.
The only version that comes to kfu anymore is sbloods but I only know it to be gb and ics safe don't know about jelly bean

Also you should have included a factory reset and system wipe to you scheme of wipes all you have is a broken system very likely...
I would say install twrp manually in fastboot (temporary or otherwise)

I did do a factory reset. I accidentally mentioned in the post that I wiped data, but what I meant was factory reset. The kindle still shows up in the computer when I plug it in, so I feel like there is some hope.

No, but how would I use a backup anyway while bootlooping?
EDIT: could I use a backup from another kindle fire using this method?
My thought was to get back into recovery and restore your backup but that's not possible without fff
A backup from another kindle if it was created in cwmr yes I believe this is possible...

Even while bootlooping, you should still be able to issue adb commands, check your drivers. Also, the Alien Droid animation takes a really long time the first time around. How long did you let it sit before shutting it off?

This is true. Although I don't know much about how to operate adb, I do have it installed. I waited an hour or two, the animation stops at some point and freezes but the usb connection still works.

I don't currently have TWRP installed on the kindle, just clockworkmod. I will try to install TWRP from adb and see what I can do.
EDIT: While my computer detects the kindle as an "Android ADB Interface" when I type "adb devices" into cmd nothing shows when the kindle is plugged in (but my phone shows when it's plugged in with USB debugging enabled, so I know I have it installed properly at least). I think the proper drivers are not installed.
EDIT 2: I uninstalled the driver for it to install the google usb driver but it failed to install the new one. Now when I plug the Kindle in it shows up as an empty Removable device in Computer butt does not show up anywhere else.

"Android ADB Interface" usually appears in the device manager when the KF is in fastboot mode, but if you are seeing the boot animation from the ROM, it cannot be in fastboot mode. I'm not sure where your KF is in the boot process, so it's important to figure that out first. Take a look at this fastboot guide...

I installed the drivers and now the Kindle is detected by adb when I type adb devices. ADB tells me it is in normal boot mode (4000). However, I cannot switch to ffastboot. It tells me it cannot find the drive specified and that permission is denied.
FFF, assuming you installed it, goes into temporary fastboot for the first few seconds the the bootloader is running. Use that time to do what you need to do in fastboot. When the device detects you are trying to do something in fastboot during this time, it will stop the countdown and stay in fastboot.
Has anyone tried it?
I have only just picked up my KF8.9, but have successfully rooted it. However, chickened out of installing the 2ndBootloader and TWRP as it seems that some people say it still works and some people say it doesn't.
Don't want to brick my shiny new toy, and don't know enough about these devices to know if the existing guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175) is still correct for 8.4.3.
Any info appreciated.
Thanks
:good: I would like to know this also
If trying to accomplish this under Windows, the key is to have the proper USB driver for your device installed AND ADB communication working. Once I managed to confirm this, I used KF First Aide to install the 2nd bootloader + TWRP under 8.4.3 without any issues.

How did you confirm that you had the proper USB driver installed?
Currently with the drivers I have:
I can see my Kindle in Windows explorer
I can see my device as an "ADB Device"
When the Kindle is off I can type "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" to put my device into Fastboot
Is that about it?

You can install the proper USB drivers with option 12. in KFF, or manually by following instructions described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
You can also check ADB communication with option 11. in KFF. If a device ID is displayed, you are in business.

I simply used option 41. in KFF. You need to be rooted first, use option 21. in KFF to do this. You may be prompted to manually grant permission to SU on your Kindle, so don't just run this and leave the tablet alone to go for a cup of coffee...

to fix it i used a homemade factory/fastboot cable turned off the kindle and used option "25.

I didn't have the Android SDK installed, as I used the ADB drivers provided through KFF. Perhaps going back to 8.4.1 (from backed-up .img files) or an earlier version and start from there?

Hello,
I am attempting to install CyanogenMod on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9". It appears the Fire OS received the recent OTA update to 8.5.1.
Whenever I attempt to root it using the restore exploit used in KFFirstAide or Bin4ry, the device will reboot into a state in which it is nearly unusable. It takes ~2 minutes just to get to the carousel screen from the lock screen. A reset to factory settings fixes this, and I have done this a two times thus far. I tried an application on my PC called Kingo Root to root it, and it does not cause the device to act strangely and slowly, but I do not have access to su. Beyond this, I am unable to access Fastboot. Fastboot just says <Waiting for device> whenever I start my device after using the fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product or any other Fastboot command. I believe I have installed the drivers properly, and the ADB works fine.
What other information should I provide? Are there any steps I could/should try?
Thanks!
When i installed cm11 i had this same problem immediately after root. Once i installed cm11 it went away. Not sure why but i hope this helps. If you are keeping the Amazon os i don't have a good solution
Well, I was able to get into Fastboot and install TWRP. Now the tablet will not let me push the CyanogenMod ZIP to the internal storage.
Any ideas? ADB sideload refuses to load in TWRP and ADB says no devices are connected.
Uninstall the drivers in the device manager and let it reinstall the drivers, then adb should work.

i'm stuck with the 5.8.1 (my fault i would to try i lost my root) .
Anyone found solution to root this rom ?
i tried a lot of old tools, but no luck....
thank you
Same problem here, I have lost root with 8.5.1 update, old root methods don't work.
Update!
Hi everyone!
I gave up on trying to root and decided to just get the ROM flashed via TWRP (which can be done without root).
So I installed the drivers from here after disabling driver signature enforcement: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44446906&postcount=9
Now, I am in TWRP.... But I did not transfer the CyanogenMod ZIP to my device. Now I am stuck trying to get ADB sideload to work so I may push the zip to the device. No success thus far. I cannot get the sideload to work, though. The Kindle will not connect to the PC for ADB (no yellow triangles in Device Manager, nothing) and I cannot get into the original OS... So, I am stuck.
Any ideas now?
jasona99:
I am not an expert, but I understand that before install twrp, second bootloader and a custom rom in a Kindle Fire Hd 8.9, you need to be ROOTED. In all the guides to be rooted is a must step, maybe that is where begin all your problems...

I too tried to root I was able to get fast boot working but had to reapply my driver in settings. I have the LTE variant and thus need a working root solution. Does anyone know a method to achieve root without the slowness?
no root this sucks
I was able to root where the device is slow then use adb commands to get the device into fast mode from there you can follow the tutorial that helps you get a second boot loader.
Once you have root and the device is connected over adb then use the command adb shell then run reboot bootloader.
Can you please share your rooting instrcutions from the Amazon OS 8.5.1?
I'm on 8.5.1 and tried all methods of the rooting, but failed all.
Many thanks.

I used Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v36 with option 3. Once complete device is basically unusable but you can still connect over ADB and you do have root. I then followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105 for installing a different boot loader. I didn't follow it exactly as I again opened an ADB shell then ran the commands as I was getting an error if I just ran them as is. If you open a shell you only run the command in "" without the quotes. Once complete you can then flash to cm11 or another ROM of your choosing.

Being a total Kindle newbie here... do you know of a tutorial on how to use key root mater for my Kindle 8.5.1 version? Or maybe you can tell me how I install the apk file?
Reading and reading without a very good explanation driving me crazy(er)
Thanks!
