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.
I'm returning my kindle and I've restored the stock ROm but now I need to remove FireFireFire. Any help would be great!

Download the Kindle Fire software update from Amazon. It's a zip archive, so you can change the .bin to .zip and extract the contents. Among the contents are recovery.img and u-boot.bin. You'll need to fastboot flash both of them to their respective partitions.
For fastboot information...

I rooted my Kindle Fire two weeks ago and updated it to jellybean 4.2 using the ROM developed by hashcode. Now after the update, I feel like I bricked my device. Because first of all TWRP (blue Kindle fire logo with boot options below) is not loading in startup but regular Kindle fire logo is seen. And I can't install TWRP using Kindle Fire Utility because my device is now a different ROM and KFU can't detect my Kindle. And I'm not at all satisfied with the battery life of Kindle Fire on JB 4.2 and it gets hot like red-hot-iron even just when I watch a video. Somebody please help me to at least to get TWRP on my kindle so I could just set it to default ROM or any other. Or please tell me a way to get out of this condition.

The blue & white Kindle Fire logo with boot options is FireFireFire, not TWRP. You may or may not have TWRP installed but without access to it you'll probably never know.
If you have root permissions, the easiest and most straight forward way of getting FFF installed is to do so through terminal emulator on your device (install it if you have to).
1) Download FFF1.4.zip onto your device and extract it. That should put the resulting folder in /sdcard/extracted. There, find the uboot.bin file and move it directly to the root of your sdcard (i think it's named something like "firefirefire1.4u-boot.bin"...rename it to "u-boot.bin").
2) Then open terminal emulator and enter the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/uboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]2[/B][COLOR=Red]<---This is a [U]TWO[/U][/COLOR]
That will overwrite your bootloader partition with the new u-boot.bin. Just reboot and it should work. The problem with that is, if you get a corrupt download, it may hard-brick your device. Be sure to do an md5 check.
A safer way to do this is through TWRP. You can install and access TWRP relatively in the same manner with terminal emulator.
1) Download the TWRP.img and the FFF1.4.zip (don't extract it) onto your device and place them on the root of your sdcard. (rename TWRP to "twrp.img" to make things easier)
2) In terminal emulator, enter the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]5[/B][COLOR=Red]<---This is a [U]FIVE[/U], not a TWO...pay attention[/COLOR]
idme bootmode 5001
reboot
3) In TWRP, flash the FFF1.4.zip, but don't wipe anything. This method will automatically check the md5 of FFF before installing it and reduce the possibility of accidentally bricking the device.
Reboot and all will be well.

Thanks for the help! But I have a doubt, because my Kindle is on Jelly Bean, it is on MTP mode when connected to computer. Will it be a problem? And where do i get a non-corrupted FFF1.4.zip ?

Terminal emulator is an app that is run on the device, not the computer, so it doesn't matter what settings you have enabled or whether your drivers are working properly. And there is one main source for FFF1.4. Corruption, if it happens, usually happens when downloading so an md5 check needs to be done before flashing the file you downloaded to your bootloader partition.
I formatted my kindle fire using quick format ( I was going to format my jump drive but I formatted kindle drive instead). Now the touchscreen isn't working as it doesn't respond to my tapping. I would really appreciate if somebody helps me with solution regarding this problem.
P.S. : I am not a techie person. So, please explain me in plain English. Thank you.

Could try the Kindle Fire Uitility download, unzip, double click on run.bat, install Twrp.
if you see bp panic, you will need a Fastboot cable and follow Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
Once you have Twrp recovery you can reinstall stock update.zip or my pre-root 6.3.3.zip

This is a Kindle Fire 1, not a 2 or HD?
If it's the original kindle fire
TWRP may not have installed correctly could try flashing Twrp manually
Download adb/fastboot.exe files, and openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img
verify md5 e6183f4c6043f2c6a0d519d9f660ee98 for TWRP see https://sites.google.com/site/sdshadowscollection/home/hash-checksums
Create a folder in c drive named adb,
unzip/extract files,
copy AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, fastboot.exe, openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img to adb folder.
do not have kindle connected yet.
open command prompt (start>all programs >accessories>command prompt)
in command prompt>change directory to adb
Code:
cd\adb
then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img
fastboot reboot
command prompt should say waiting for device
with kindle off, connect to pc via usb
when bootloader starts, commands should execute and kindle should reboot again
select reboot to recovery option
retry TWRP if still does not work try
try in command prompt with bootloader like last commands
Code:
fastboot oem format
fastboot reboot
try TWRP again
another option is the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility V1.1
How about with kindle touch, pro?
How about with kindle touch, pro? I formatted my kindle touch when it connected to pc. After that, Kindle touch can not recieve ebooks that i copy to it. Then, i "reset device" and see "kindle user manual", but appear notice "...format disk..." when i connect to pc.
