Well, finally decided to make a thread after hours of searching.
I've got a rooted kindle fire, and it's been working fine for the past month. Out of the blue last night, I turn it on, it won't boot past the animated white and orange kindle fire logo. I still get the usual blue logo beforehand, the device is recognized by my pc, i can boot into fastmode, get into TWRP or CWM, I'm just not sure what to do from here.
Most other people with this problem seem to be stuck in fastboot, while i'm not.
Any help would be appreciated.
It sounds like your kindle's current stock rom got messed up
Here's what you should do:
Boot into twrp
Transfer a different rom to your kindle
Wipe what's needed
Flash the new rom
Reboot

Thanks a bunch for helping identify the problem Any specific rom you'd recommend? CM7 or ICS?
Also, would you be able to link me to a tutorial on what needs to be wiped, as well as how to flash said rom?
If you like stock you can get modaco
Gede rom looks very customizable
I'm on modaco now
Wiping nd flashing depends on the rom
Do you have TWRP or clockwork
I know more of TWRP

I decided to install Cyanogen Mod on my Nexus. I already rooted it and downloaded rom manager + titanium back-up. I watched a tutorial on how to download and install roms using rom manager and everything seemed to go as planned and Cyanogen 9 was installed. The phone automatically rebooted and the boot animation the Cyanogen started. But after a half hour I realized it was stuck. So I tried to go into recovery mode to restore my backup (of the stock) but when I went there, the phone automatically turn off. It's not when I click, it's just after a certain period. It even turned off while restoring. To make things worse, when I turn it on now, it's stuck on the Google logo with the unlocked slot at the bottom. I hope you guys can help me because I'm starting to freak out.
Addidional info:

I did not delete evreything when I flashed
GSM version
rom was downloaded from rom manager
I backed up my stock rom
I did google but everything leads to bootloader which is broken
Yes I'm a noob

Where can I find this option and what does it do exactly? I have the Nexus Toolkit too, should I do anything there?
1.Don't panic
2. Try to go on bootloader then reset factory or fastboot then from pc flash recovery
3. Try to get back recovery then factory reset and flash backup

I wouldn't recommend Odin to beginners. OP is better off with the fastboot guide mentioned by bk201doesntexist.

was it a nexus? maybe/probably not, but if it was, you should have used fastboot. it's officially supported by GOOGLE. if you want to flash a factory image, they tell you to use fastboot. why would we use anything else? a leak? that the community barely really knows anything about?
i'd rather use Heimdall!! (not sure i9250 is supported though.)

I don't use my kindle for anything but reading now and then, so I'd like to flash back to the stock ROM just in case I have to return it or sell it or anything like that.
Can someone tell me what I need to do? I'm on alien 7.0

Make sure you have/ use a factory reset cable or you could wind up with more problems than you started with

Unless you really require back to full stock just use modaco
So, all the drama with my KFHD is getting old. Is there a way to get just stock ICS or Jellybean?
If you do it yourself, but then you would have to tweak everything to get it to work properly, its easier to install CM 10
Last I read CM 10 still wasn't ready for KFHD

Make sure you flash the right ROM. Are you sure you have a KFHD, if so, you would be best posting in that forum and not the Kindle Fire 2 forum.
Read, read again, and then read again. Too many people brick their devices by flashing ROMs or using tools not designed for their devices.

I was originally on a CM rom but decided to give a stock based rom a try and it flashed and booted successfully. Now I want to go back to CM and flashed another CM rom but now it won't boot. It flashes the LG logo for a half a second and then just hangs at a blank screen. Any ideas?

I encountered something like that a while ago. I solved it by shutting it down (hold power button for 20 or so seconds) then let it sit for about an hour.. It booted up after that. Hopefully it works!
If not, you might have to lgnpst

Please provide more information so we may better help you...
Which AOSP-based ROM did you flash before you encountered the problem?
Did you wipe everything before flashing?
Did you flash anything in addition to the new ROM?
Are you still able to get into TWRP Recovery?

Yes, I'm still able to get into twrp but restoring now fails.I went from BeanStalk to Vectus Slim to NexOGen to SuperNexus (never booted), now I can't flash any stock or cm based rom without it hanging. I always wipe system, cache, dalvik, and data before flashing into another rom. I only flash the rom and gapps.
do you guys think if formatting the card and sideloading a rom might help?

I don't believe I have. I never had any issues until now.
I found this thread which seems similar to the problems I'm having. It seems like formatting data could fix the problem. If not, i'll try LGPNST and flashing teenybins next.
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342985&page=2
I believe flashing a teenybin was recommended for CM so occurances like the LG logo to black screen would not occur. This happened to me, so I know by experience. A lot of people dont do it because it seemed to complicated and flashed CM and nothing happened, most likely it will happen to them sooner or later.
Good luck with the teenybin, I'm pretty sure that will solve your problem, as that solved my LG logo to black screen problem months ago

Did not know this, thank you very much. Formatting the data and flashing a new rom via adb worked by the way. As you suggested, I just flashed the original teenybin with LGNPST and everything went smoothly. Hopefully, I don't have to run into the logo black screen issue again. Thanks!
I just got my Kindle a few days ago. It came loaded with stock 6.3.3. I was able to root it using the SafeRoot guide.
Then I installed TWRP and a custom rom, JB 4.3.2.1 I wanted to update TWRP (currently at 2.2.2.1)
so I could try a KitKat rom so I went to the play store and installed TWRP manager to do the update but
it told me I needed root access. I am not sure how I lost root, I thought that installing custom ROMs
wouldn't lose root, as it had no effect on my Galaxy S3 in the past when I put custom roms on it.
Any help is appreciated.
Mostly likely superuser is just slow to responded, or allow/deny popup never popped like it should.
But I would just update twrp in twrp with a flashable twrp.zip from my list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2811253
