OK so i was trying to install a custom ROM on my kindle. I thought i could get around a step (wipeing the device) and it didn't work. Now i cant get the kindle to even come on when i have it unplugged from power. When it does come on its goes to the Kindle fire logo with "Fire" in blue. I do have twrp installed and im not sure whats wrong i can boot into recovery but i cant use the kindle utilitie to flash the amazon update it jsut says failed everytime i do. i also tried to factory reset it through revocery but that also did not work. SOMEONE PLEASE HELPS ME
Thanks

my evo is rooted with simpleroot ota, and whenever i try to flash a rom it get stuck in the boot loader. i tryed flashing Fresh 1.0.1 and DC 3.2.3 and neither of them worked. these are the steps i take to flash a rom
1. backup all my stuff on phone
2. go into the recovery mode
3. wipe cache and dalvic cache
4. backup nand(just in case it doesn't work... like it never does)
5. flash the zip from sd
6. reboot and get stuck in the loop until i restore my nand from step 4
i was just wondering if there was anything else i had to do like wipe data and/or wipe sd: ext partition. also, can someone explain what this partition thing is cuz i have no idea. is it everything on my sd card... if so then how will i restore all my info to my phone
EDIT: also, how do i know if my nand is unlocked, i used simpleroot ota and followed all the steps, is that enough? i noticed that to install fresh 1.0.1 you need nand to be unlocked, but idk if mine is. can i re unlock my nand if it's already done(will anything bad happen
Firstly, you should clear data for sure. Use all 3 wipe options. Also, wipe ext only if you are using app2sd and have partitioned an ext section.
Secondly, you should make your nandroid before you wipe, otherwise you are basically backing up nothing.
Thirdly, If you successfully flashed your recovery to nand, then it is unlocked. You can also do a adb remount command to see if it will remount the system as rw
Fourthly... wait no that's it
I am having the same problem I did the SimpleOTA update, and with booth Fresh and DC just getting stuck in a boot loop, I have no idea what to do....
-Matt
Ok, I solved my problem, the problem was I wasn't reading the direction fully. In order to get rid of the bootloop I simply had to use every option in the AMOS Recovery Image in the wipe menu, I used every wipe option and it worked =)

I wiped /cache, /system, and dalvik and data. Then i tried selecting a zip file from my sd card but I was not able to do so. So i decided to power off the phone and enter recovery again but now I am stuck at the samsung galaxy triangle screen! what can i do to get out of this? This happened when I tried going from starburst 1.6 to viperROM v2.
Hey I had this same problem this afternoon and got it back to normal.
First I did a system restore following these steps,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282420&highlight=Eg30
Then with odin rerooted with zedomax's kernel
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/Epic4GTouch/kernel/ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel//SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3.tar
And then flashed the new ROM following the format system, wipe everything, install zip method.
Hope this helps

Boot into CWM and reflash the starburst rom. wipe cache, wipe dalvik caches and format system under mounts and storage.
When this problem happened to me, my phone couldn't mount the internal storage device or the sd card so it wouldn't do even a normal boot, in CWM it couldn't find any ROMs to install, and I would get error messages when trying to wipe data etc. Then after a few reboots and battery pulls it was stuck at the yellow triangle screen. Download mode was the only thing it would boot into so I was forced to follow the steps described above.

So back on my Evo 4G whenever I wanted to flash a new rom, I would load it on my SD card. Then boot into custom recovery and wipe cache/Dalvik... Then would wipe ALL data/factory reset. Then I would install my new rom off of my SD card.
With my S3, I cannot access anything on my SD via CWM recovery. I have a SDXC card formatted to FAT32 and am on Blazer 1.8
I want to do a full data wipe before flashing new ROMS, but I am worried that if I do, I won't have a way of getting a zip file back on my phone after doing so.
It ALMOST seems like. Remember being able to access my SD in CWM when I was on a stock rooted rom. But I'm not positive.
How does one do a wipe data option in CWM and then get a flash able zip back on the phone afterwards if the SD card is not available to see and move data to/from?
I don'tanna end up wiping all data and then finding out that I hav no way of installing/restoring a rom.
Thanks!

Move on to TWRP for your recovery, much more features but if you don't want to do that go to CWM's website and update to 6.0 it will allow you to "see" your sd card

+1 on TWRP, much nicer and more features and themable To install, download GooManager open it and grant SU access then tap menu and select "Install OpenRecoveryScript" and it'll do the rest.
BTW you're following the process ok, except you're doing one additional step that is not required that is to wipe cache and dalvik. When you factory reset you're deleting the data partition which also has both cache. It should be wipe system then do factory reset, flash the ROM after that and you should be all set.
Install stock JB LS8 after wipe
I got info on how to wipe the phone using CW mode. It does explain to format boot and system partition and ask to reboot. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410881)I was left in confusion. If boot is formatted, would CW mode work after reboot ? After full wipe, can I get GT-I9100 in download mode and do stock rom installation using ODIN ? Thanks in advance.

Formatting Boot will not affect CWM. CWM is your receovery not your boot. Also after a full wipe you should be able to get into download mode to flash via ODIN.
Install TWRP or update CWM, one version of CWM had a bug and don't let you access the sdcard.
If you choose TWRP, in the Format Menu, DO NOT use "Format Data" Second Row/Right Option. It will delete your data on the internal storage.

Make sure you have the most recent version of CWM. I can access both internal and external storage. It's downloadable from the ClockworkMod app.

Do you know if you have the updated radio (v1.00.00.0928)? If so, then you need to know that there are only a select few ROMs and kernels that will work with the updated radio. If you also have the updated hboot (v1.57, I believe), then you're kinda stuck (like me). If it's older than that, then you can try to do the RUU process to revert back to the old radio.
Good luck!

This problem generally comes due to mismatch of kernel(boot.img or bootloader) and ROM. Check weather you are using correct kernel image or not.
U said u are wiping everything that's fine. But are you flashing a boot.img before installing custom ROM.??
Sent from my HOV using CM10....
can i ask ya'll a simple life saving question !?
i'm unable to wipe data/factory reset.. even dalvik cache.. phone restarts into recovery or just hangs at Samsung logo upon trying to recover from Nand backup where it just fails at the point of either kernel or data wipe to further go ahead and rewrite them from the backup itself.. could be partition error maybe!?
well i'm able to mount data, but then again fail to format, it just restarts the whole recovery again..
hence, i can't do any ROM flashing, nothing whatsoever.. any inputs!?
using Odin maybe i should just install the stock firmware .tar file n then try factory reset !? it would wipe internal SD i'm sure and maybe that works..
Help me out in this brethren plz, any inputs!? my phone's almost rendered useless..
i was using my fav DN4 ROM.. when i tried to replace my phone battery, it just got stuck on Samsung logo..
