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.
Hi I was wondering if I can get any response with my case. Similar to previous posts in this thread, I too bricked my KF.
I installed twrp and flashed it with cm9 and I reversed by reinstalling stock update 6.3.
I used kindle fire utility 0.9.6. after reinstalling the update from amazon, my KF remained at the kindle fire logo screen.
My pc recognizes the kf. the drivers are working on my pc. when i plug it in or out, i get a response from the pc. when i open KFU it recognizes adb status online. root status: unknown. when i go to bootmode in any modes (normal, fastboot, recovery,) i get exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)
the program tells KF to reboot, the KF reboots and thats the extent. I would also try reinstalling twrp or clockwork or fff, i get exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) WAITING FOR DEVICE.
I also tried Kindle Fire Unbrick v1.1 in all the options to try i also receive exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2).
I then tried using ubunto Firekit. I used all the command scripts and i get WAITING FOR OMAP44xx device...
when I use cmd prompts, the KF only respond to adb commands. for example, the only comman that the KF understands is /adb reboot. the KF reboots but any other commands i get nothing.
HELP! THIS GIRL IS LOSING HER HAIR....
Huh? kinfauns answered your other post... just wait until you get the factory cable, follow the instructions he gave you and then post if you encounter problems (or to say it's fixed and thank him)...
Regarding the hair loss, a wig may help.
I'll give you a little more information since perhaps you didn't understand the first time.
A shell is a piece of software with a particular set of commands built in that acts as sort of a go-between for the OS and the device hardware. It is necessary to be able to perform a certain set of tasks from within the system. One of those tasks is having the ability to change the bootmode. In some cases, the shell gets corrupted and is no longer able to perform said tasks. Attempting to do so would result in the following error: "exec /system/sbin/sh failed".
The ability to switch between the "normal", "fastboot", and "recovery" bootmodes is key to resolving certain problems within an Android system. Even though you are stuck at the boot screen, which typically means you are in "fastboot" mode, your adb status reads "online", indicating you are in fact in the "normal" bootmode without a working OS. Unfortunately, without a working shell there is only one way to change the bootmode to the necessary "fastboot" mode, and that is with a factory programming cable (not to be confused with an OEM cable). The factory programming cable will instantly put you in fastboot mode so you can change your bootmode without the need of a shell.
It is then necessary to reinstall custom recovery and change your bootmode to "recovery" so you can reinstall your OS and in the process, fix your shell and any other problems.
Are you with FFF1.4a and TWRP? Can you reboot to fastboot?

My kindle fire runs on Rooted Kindle Fire stock ROM downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569298.
Yesterday I tried to install twrp using KFU0.9.6 and it says the MD5 check sum failed deleting the files.
Then it worked fine. After that i turn it off my Kindle fire. And I turn it on after some time. From that moment it got stuck in Kindle Fire boot screen.
Then I tried to connect my device to PC and launched KFU0.9.6 and it is saying my Device is offline
Could someone help me to resolve this issue???
Hard boot then boot into recovery.....then flash your stock ROM backup. You made a backup, right?

Im having the same problem... How can i boot into recovery mode if the Kindle Fire utility isnt detecting the device unless its literally on?
try this
Hi
I had the same problem... Try this:
Download the 'Kindle Fire Utility' unzip it and run install_drivers.bat
Plugin the kindle and make sure nothing is unrecognized in the Device Manager
Open a command prompt and enter the following two lines
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
(If fastboot cannot be found switch to the "kindle fire Utility" folder into the Tools directory)
Afterwards you can run the utility and install the latest "TWRP Recovery" and "FireFireFire". I've been stuck there in the installation: Don't plug-out your kindle, just reboot it a few times (keep the power-button pressed for at least 10sec)
Hope this helpes
I foolishly let someone try to root my Kindle Fire, and now it is stuck in what seems to be the TWRP boot loop (the kindle fire is blue and white). If I leave it alone unplugged it will occasionally continue to the Kindle Fire orange and white screen but will not go any farther. From the Blue/white screen I can hit the power button to enter the boot menu where I get Normal Boot, Recovery, and Reset Boot Mode. I can enter TWRP recovery menus, but otherwise it just keeps rebooting. Once in the TWRP recovery screen I can only navigate for a short time before it locks up and I have to reboot by holding the power button in. The sd card will not mount, and they did not backup anything before they started messing with the os. Ive tried the Kindle Fire utility but it says device not found. The Kindle showed up in my device manager as Other-Kindle before I installed the android drivers mentioned in another thread, and now it is under Android Phone- Android ADB Interface. It doesnt show up in My Computer at all. I've read about the factory cable but cant find on in the US so it would take 2 weeks to get here from China. Any suggestions on how to fix this, or do I now have a $200 paperweight? Thanks in advance.

Maybe go into twrp and do a factory reset. Can you get to that menu? Click wipe and then factory reset.
I've tried the factory reset but it seems to have no effect on it. How do I do the adb push? I've tried using the command prompt to run some of the commands on other threads but I'm not doing something right. I always get an 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file error.
I'll apologize now for my stupidity on this one- I have never worked with android software before this.
The kindle fire utility reads:
ADB status: Offline
Boot Status: Unknown
I can get it to boot in normal and recovery mode, but each time I try to boot in Fastboot I get an error message 'Oops... something went wrong. We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire. Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.' The Kindle shows up in Device Manager under Android Phone as Android ADB Interface
When using the twrp, anything that involves writing to or wiping the sd card receives this error E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)
I'd appreciate any help I can get. I'm at a standstill on this one.
im in the same position you can open it as a USB by selecting mount in TWRP and selecting mount USB Storage
do you have drivers / ADB on your computer ?
I did manage to get my kindle go into a recovery boot loop by doing the root procedure for the original 6.3 original Amazon ROM while my kindle had the 6.2 ROM . After i realized that the root procedure (intended for ver 6.3) didn't work for me, I had to try the procedure for rooting ver. 6.2.
It worked but after a couple of resets, the tablet went into a recovery boot loop.
what i did was to use ADB comands:
enter windows - > start command prompt (start - > run -> cmd)
check if kindle is connected: adb devices
if the device is found then use:
adb shell
su
idme bootmode 4000
exit
Hi all, I'm having a problem with my Kindle Fire. It is automatically booting into TWRP no matter what I do.
I have wiped everything, and installed the stock ROM, and when I reboot it just goes back to TWRP.
There is always a message of *verifying file system and *verifying partition. I can mount it and move files via USB.
In the fire utility it reads
ADB Status: Online
Boot Status: Unknown
If I try to change the bootmode it comes back waiting for device. I then got into the command line.
Doing "adb devices" shows it as being in recovery. I can reboot it from here, but goes right back to twrp.
I tried to do the adb shell--> su--> idme bootmode 4000
but after I do the shell it comes back that "su" isn't valid. I'm assuming I am doing something wrong, but I can't
for the life of me figure it out...any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

At startup hold thepower button untill you see the bootmenu come up and select "normal boot"
On the Kindle itself you mean? There is no bootmenu. I get the Kindle Fire (Orange) text, then goes straight to twrp, and if I do normal reboot from there, just straight back to twrp.

From twrp try booting into recovery that worked once for me to get a normal boot. Then make sure you put the fire fire fire bootloader on there so it never happens again

Tried it, no go.
This is what I get in the command line
The "<[6n" is likely the result of pressing the up or down arrow with number lock turned off and it is causing the command to be unrecognized.
Regardless, there's no need to use the "adb shell su -c..." command to get into fastboot. Instead use Pokey9000's bootmode binary "fbmode".

As you can see, the "adb shell" command is successful because of the change in the prompt.
~ # <-indicates the shell is working and active, so the actual /path of adb is irrelavent.

Hello,
I have a original stock Kindle Fire and just recently it won't boot all the way up. It just shows the Kindle Fire screen and flickers every 20 seconds or so like it is stuck in a reboot loop. I tried to do a hard reset, run the battery all the way down and recharge but that didn't help. I even took the case apart and unplugged the battery hoping that might help but it didn't.
I then decided to install KFU (0.9.9) to see if I could get it in Fastboot and wipe the data from it. That didn't work as it throws an error: failed to copy 'files\fbmode' to '/data/local/fbmode': No space left on device. I then decided to install Android SDK for ADB and see how much space is left in that folder. Turns out there is only 28K left, which seems like it is basically full. I cannot delete anything from that folder as it is currently read-only. I cannot basically do anything to it since all files/programs that need to be downloaded to root it require copying files to that directory which doesn't have space.
At this point, I would be happy if I could somehow factory reset the device. I don't care about anything on it and just want it to work. Any suggestions for doing this without buying the special cable that will put it in Fastboot mode automatically?
Thanks!

Could try
Code:
adb shell recovery wipe_cache
adb shell recovery wipe_data
adb reboot
or
Code:
adb shell
recovery --wipe_cache
adb shell
recovery --wipe_data
adb reboot
not sure if they work with stock Kindle
also see [UTILITY] Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility V1.1
The unbrick utility alone may or may not work.

Thanks for the suggestions but unfortunately still stuck at logo. The unbrick utility is a cool idea but looks like everything is for a rooted device, most commands it does are either permission denied or says this is read-only device.
Anyone have any other suggestions for how I can at least delete/clear space in the /data folder so I can get into fastboot mode?

the unbrick utility includes an older root method (zergrush). try [How To][Root] Kindle Fire 1 update 6.3.3 [2014]
another option is Soupkit
but if none of the above worked, I'm guessing you will need a Fastboot cable.
