Christ I was hoping not to do this but now I have to.
I have a KF, it has been rooted (White-Blue KF logo on boot) by using KFU 0.9.6
Backup has been created.
Through KFU, I have TWRP installed and I thought I had FFF as well.
Upon boot, I get 3 options.
Normal Boot
Recovery
Reset Boot Mode
When I select recovery, it takes me to the TWRP menu in which I selected the ICS.zip to install. At no time does the triangle show upon boot.
How can I troubleshoot getting FFF to install & boot the ICS?
I been on XDA all day trying to find a step by step tutorial but without any luck.
I hacked my Wii like it was nothing so I hate hate hate asking Q's.
What am I doing wrong?

I think that is TWRP, just one of the newer ones. There's no triangle anymore, apparently.
No that's the new bootloader 1.4a from hashcode no more triangle each option does as it says normal recovery or reset bootmode everything is as it should be

If I may suggest you should research how to do a clean flash if you want advice feel free to pm me I'll right you up a quick tutorial start here first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452 you don't want your first experience to be the last

So, my kindle fire is rooted and everything. I have FFF (1.4a) installed on it as well as twrp. When I go to KFU, it always takes too long waiting because it can't enter the fastboot mode. I've been poking around and nothing has really been any help. Is there any way of just deleting fff from my kindle by using something like root explorer? If so, what's the path to get to this? Is there any simple way to uninstall FFF from my device? Or is there a shortcut to getting into TWRP without having to reboot?
I tried a factory reset, but that didn't even unroot my kindle.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially that in Lamen's terms.
I couldn't make sense out of any of that.
What are you trying to achieve exactly? The removal of FFF and TWRP? Going back to stock?
Sorry, what I was asking is can I remove fff or is there a way to access twrp without rebooting.
The easiest way to go back to stock (without TWRP or FFF) would be to download this .bin from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620 and rename it to update.zip and flash it like a normal ROM through TWRP, I would also suggest wiping for good measure. I am not sure why you don't want to reboot though, that part perplexes me...
Well, the issue is that i can't access TWRP to flash anything. FFF is preventing me from getting to that point.

What happens when you try to go to recovery through FFF?
Okay, so I'll turn my kindle on. It'll say Kindlefire and then it says "Press power button to access boot menu". I press it, three options appear. Normal boot, recovery, and Reset Boot Mode . If i hit recovery, it'll reboot and take me back to the Kindlefire. It just loops like that.

Have you tried holding down the power button when you first turn it on until it turns from green to orange?
All it does is power off.

So if you are currently running stock which you rooted... I would again suggest to download the .bin file above from amazon and drop it into the "kindleupdates" folder on your sdcard then go to settings>device and click on the update button which should now be highlighted.
Okay. Ill have to reroot it, right? Thank you so much.
Okay, will I need to reroot?
Sounds to me like you may not have TWRP installed - can you reinstall it?

Yes, you will have to reroot using KFU but it should be fairly easy once you're back to stock
just a side note rooting is not required to install twrp and fff simply just select those options from kindle fire utility and custom recovery twrp and the fff bootloader will be added to your device
So I tried to load HellFire rom on my kindle with Clockwork Recovery. I flashed the rom and did all the resetting and clearing of cache.
What happens when I now load my kindle is this.
1.) It loads the kindle fire logo
2.) loads the hellfire animation for a split second
3.) goes back to the kindle fire logo
4.) loads this blank screen
my computer cannot find the device when it is loaded in this blank screen. It can only find it when it is on the kindle fire logo and then it's named as "Amazon" (in my device manager) and I cannot do anything after that because it only stays on the kindle fire logo for maybe 5 seconds. Once the logo is gone from my kindle, my computer cant find the kindle connected.
If there is some way that I can just get into the Clockwork Recovery I can then just put a diffrent rom on. This HellFire rom of there's is defective and shouldn't be allowed to be out there in the public.
Any help will be amazing.
Thanks.
Which clockwork mod recovery? Also I have found when flashing hellfire in twrp that system and data had checks in them under mount simply by unchecking them I could get it to boot I really dont know how this applies to cwmr my suggestion though is to do a full wipe and flash a rom other than hellfire . Another thing I have noticed is this tends to happen when gapps are prebaked into the rom IMO the kindle needs this mount and unmount of system while flashing gapps to truly have a good clean flash...

You have no yellow triangle or white kindle with blue fire then your kinda missing out on something its a bootloader that gives you access to recovery without that its very difficult indeed somewhere along the way we need to get you a bootloader but because at this point drivers are an issue I suggest using Linux I will help you with a setup that will rule drivers out of the equation and hopefully we will be able to flash a bootloader to your device in order that you can obtain access to recovery and clean up your broken system issue by flashing a rom that your kindle will like more pm me and we can get that sorted for you

I have the same problem, any solution?
Hello, I honestly hope someone can help me !!
My phone won't boot up at all. I keep getting the Samsung logo with the words "recovery booting...." in the top left corner but it never boots into recovery mode.. I'm able to go into the other mode(forgot the name of it) but anything I flash in Odin fails.. Does any have any ideas on how I can get my phone back up and running.? I really need your help
What cause this..?
I wanted to flash a rom so I booted into recovery but didn't know how to backup my phone using Android System Recovery 3e. There was no option for backup. I then proceeded to flash cwm_Superuser_v3.0.7. When I tried to reboot after the "pass" flash, it never went into recovery and now everytime I take the battery out and try to turn it on, it still wants to try to reboot into recovery... ( HELP ME PLEASE..!!!
http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/Prerooted_Odin_tar_files/(NO_WIPE)SPR_L710VPBLJ7_ROOTED_JB.7z stock with root just flash in odin. From there since you'll have root access already just download goo manager and use it to flash a twrp recovery if u need it.
I'll try that right now and let you know what happens. Thanks
What's the best thing to do if Odin keeps failing.?
Check your drivers. Switch USB ports. Swap the USB cable. Reboot pc

Still fails... I think because it's trying to boot into recovery but it isn't there..

The odin flash is a one click fix all type of deal. You do have the phone in download mode while you're attempting this right?
ODIN!!!! I love it.

woops...I hate that feeling...sorry
From what I've read you don't have CWM .. You have the stock recovery..You can't flash ROMS in stock recovery.. Does your phone boot up at all?
Personally TWRP is a better custom recovery anyway in my opinion.. CWM is so outdated..

It sounds to me like you didn't have debugging enabled on the phone,or didn't flash the cwm recovery tar in odin correctly, and jumped a step. I would completely start over, making sure you have the phone drivers installed correctly, then install the custom recovery.
Yeah, I tried everything but it failed everytime.. I fixed my phone tho, I used another laptop.
For some reason my laptop don't like Odin. I uninstalled the Samsung drivers, got rid of Odin, reinstalled everything, tried again but it still failed.. I don't know why my laptop is doing that but I got it now.
Thanks everyone for your help.!
Ok, so I am not a noob..But I hadn't flashed anything since owning my orginal Evo..I followed all the steps for chain fire's root and have root access. I installed TWRP and haven't played with any gs3 roms yet so I went into twrp's list of compatible roms. I downloaded carbon and gapps. I tried to flash. What happens now is the same thing as this poster above me. I can boot into download mode at which point I attempted odin..after that process I booted up and still no recovery. I did manage to flash Carbon, just very poorly apparently, because all that happens when I boot up is that is says startup wizard has failed and gapps has failed..Should I try to use odin with the link provided above as well?
Hi, I have an original KF that was running v6.3.2, I am trying to get it to run JB 4.2.
I successfully (I think) rooted it using SuperOneClick
I installed FFF and TWRP using KF Utilities
It can boot into TWRP
I try to flash Hashcode's 4.2.2_r1 and TWRP seems to complete although it does stick on "Updating partition details"
When I restart it it just goes to a screen covered in weird rotating triangles.Only thing I can do is hard shut down.
I did do backup and can restore it to original Amazon 6.3.2 KF firmware. Interestingly when I do this TWRP asks me to install SuperSU, which I do.I then boots as if its a new KF, except with SU app installed.
Can anyone give me any pointers as to where I might be going wrong?
Thanks
Gordon
Bad download/corrupted file?
Wait my reading caught up with me. You say it is still booting into stock? That doesn't sound like bad firmware download after all. Sorry... I don't know then! Someone else should have a thought.
I read it once again and realize you restored stock. Lol I go with my original suggestion. Redownload and reflash.

The "weird rotating triangles" is the stock AOSP boot animation. 9 times out of 10, when your device gets stuck on the boot animation, it is from not wiping data in recovery before flashing the ROM. Boot into recovery, factory reset, then reboot to see if it fixes the problem.
Hi all! I'm hoping I can get some help. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 "Jem". I successfully rooted it the other day, and after switching laptops, finally was able to access fastboot on the computer and get the successful output. I followed the directions from this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105. I got all the way through it successfully to the end of step 3 to reboot into TWRP. However, once I rebooted, I get a constant bootloop on the static Kindle Fire logo. No twrp (I put 2.7.0.0 on there, and checked to revert to 8.1.4, but based on what I have read, I MAY have forgot to check the box to load stack).
I found SRT tool from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 and used it to successfully get the Kindle to show fastboot on the screen. However, now I'm at a loss as how to continue. I made backups per the 2ndBL+Twrp thread but I have no idea how to proceed. Any assistance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very proficient in using the commands, but can follow the directions pretty well (or so I thought lol).
Thanks again for any guidance.
Ok I got it back. I figured out I needed to open up a new command prompt in order to enter the fastboot flash commands and flash my backups on to it that I made following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175. Now going to try this again and hope to get TWRP and CM working on it this time around.
UPDATE:
Okay, I'm now further than I have ever gotten before. I have successfully installed TWRP version 2.7.0.0, able to access it no problem. I installed CM11; I have tried both CM11 20140702-NIGHTLY-jem and CM11 20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-jem. Before installing each one, I wiped system, cache and dalvik cache.
However, with each one, this is the problem I'm having. I am stuck at the cynogenmod boot screen (blue alien/android with the arrow circling). I have not been able to get past this. Is there any guidance that you all can offer me to get past this? When I saw that cynogenmod bootscreen pop up, I was so excited and relieved that I got past the blue kindlefire logo this time around, but am again deflated. I know I can boot back to rooted stock from my recovery files so it's not a total loss. I just so want to see it load up as android!!!
Thanks in advance...hope someone sees this. I didn't want to add another topic to the board, so the title doesn't reflect my current issue. So I hope that it'll get some answers. If I should make a new topic, please let me know. As my post count reflects, I am a newbie here. Thanks so much for all the hard work that you all do to help us!
Success!
Just wanted to update!
After wiping cache/dalvik cache/system and then wiping factory reset, and then reinstalling CM11 M6, it finally worked! SO now my kindle hd is now a beautiful full fledged android! I just want to thank all of the people here with all of their knowledge and guides, answers to questions in the threads...I finally figured it out and feel accomplished! LOL.
Maybe you can give me a hand as you've recently gone through this:
tried the 2nd bootloader instructions and the '8.9 Flasher' zip found on these forums, but right now I'm just stuck at the kindle fire logo (not moving). I can get into fast boot, but don't know what to put in there to get me either back to stock, or into CM11.
I (like a fool) didn't make a backup (i used the flasher zip first, and neglected the backup option), so are there stock images out there I can use?

When you restart your tablet do you see the blue KF splash screen? If you can you should be able to sideload a ROM onto TWRP.
If you can't get into TWRP then see this restore tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 you can flash the images manual from the tool if you'd rather not run the bat. Choose option 3 if you do as that includes the recovery as well.

im still in the process of fixing everything, but I was able to move past where I was (stuck on static kindle fire logo) by using fastboot to push the stock boot.img, recovery.img from hashcodes post, and then using the system.img from onemeila's rescue post (also wiping the cache)
im still in the process because my KF did an OTA update (!>@#) while I was pushing other files to it, so I had to start over again.
