Hey I tried like many other people here to get twrp2.0 on to my Kindle Fire 6.2.2.
the twrp installation stocked at the Yellow Triangle. I set the boot normal option and I can Boot to the Kindle Fire OS.
But I still have the firefirefire boot loader with the Yellow Triangle on my Device when booting.
Is there any chance to remove it? I read some people did a update from 6.2.1 to 6.2.2. But I already have 6.2.2 installed. Is there any other way to remove it?
Or is there any other bootloader I can Use I would so like to install Android ICS on my Kindle Fire.
why do you want to remove it ?
it is your "safety net" to get to recovery in case of a failure !
fff and a recovery (twrp or cwm) are the most important things to have on a rooted kf to avoid realy complicated bricks
because it is not working I can not boot in to the recovery mode so it is useless for me I think so I just want to go back to the Original Firmware.
that will not help you
if you want to install a other rom then you need twrp
the trwp install failure is very common and very easy to fix:
download twrp from http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
rename it to "recovery.img" and copy it over the bad file in the recovery folder of kfu
then do the install again - you'll see it works
I am curious about restoring the factory kindle software myself. Not because I don't like cm. Everything works great including firefirefire, twrp, and cm9. I have just installed cm on a few kindles that don't belong to me and I know sooner or later someone is going to say, "I want my original software back" I am assuming the process will be as easy as using twrp to install a stock.zip or similar for a stock rom? In the event they want to have the original kindle boot logo, will that be as simple as using adb to issue a simple DD if=stockboot.img of=/some/blkdev/on/kindle? Thanks in advance

I followed these instructions but TWRP 2.0 seems to be stuck. It says "Factory reset started" and then "Factory reset complete" twice. Then "E:Unable to open zip file." I renamed the bin file to Update.zip as instructed.
Is it OK to try and get out of this and reboot back to TWRP?

I face a similar issue. My KF automatically shut down and goes into the yellow triangle loop while watching YouTube. And it got stuck in the yellow triangle attempted to fastboo to normal boot. Within the few second it **** down and goes into the yellow triangle.
I just want to restore my kf to the stock firmware how can I do that.

I am having the exact same issues but my Kindle just reboots to the triangle randomly.
It all started when I decided to re-root after my system was updated to 6.3, I was on 6.2 when I first got the Kindle and I rooted with Burrito root and it worked fine. The only reason I rooted was so I could use the Android Market, which still worked fine after the system updated to 6.3, but stupid me had to make sure it was rooted so I used the Kindle Fire utility and that’s what hosed my Kindle. Never doing that again.
Anyway, I’m trying Justin’s steps above. Ill report what happens.
Looks like Justin's solution worked for me. I’m back to the factory and there is no TWRP menu when I reboot and it’s the original Kindle Fire image on bootup. Now I just need to see if I get anymore random shut down issues.
I renamed the download to update.zip, and I see it in the root folder, but when I boot into TWRP 2.1.1, I ca't see it in the root directory. I know I named it correctly because on my PC I can open it with an archiver... What am i doing wrong?
whoops
well i f'd up. i finally got twrp to install using a different file. however, it appears that i must've accidentally hit a wrong number when installing late last night, cause it appears i also have clockworkmod installed and it superceded twrp i guess.. can't load it. Anyone got any ideas on how to remove CWM with TWRP also installed. damn what a mess.
Trying to fallback using the latest image (6.3.2) from Amazon
I followed Justin's recipe with the exception of the Amazon load image version. I used the latest stable one instead.
My TWRP version is v2.5.0.0 - another potential difference and it might be significant (Justin never said what version of TWRP he started with).
What follows is what I saw upon executing Justin's steps 16-18.
Updating partition details...
Running boot script...
Finished running boot script.
Installing '/sdcard/update.zip' ...

---------------------------
1. Anyone else see these symptoms? Have a work-around or solution?
2. Any other suggestions?
My goal is to sell my Kindle Fire 1st generation with only Amazon software on it. TWRP yellow distraction - while it hurts nothing it is a scare for most purchasers.
Thank you for any assistance.

Hi everyone, I have two kindle fire, I messed with both of them.
I've root them the first one has the problem with the yellow triangle logo stucked. And the other one I've tried to reset it to the factory settings and everything was cool until I hit the TWRP utility and I think I erased everything.
I've see tons of posts regarding rooting and troubleshooting related to rooting and i'm pretty sick of rooting, I think that 3 months is sufficient time, please DON'T POST anything related to rooting.
I'm here asking if anyone knows how to flash all the data ofthe kindle from the pc and been able to install the factory software, firmware (I don't know) from scratch from my pc. Anyone, please?
The first one is probably stuck in fastboot. Try giving it a go with "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000 && fastboot reboot".
For the second one, "I think I erased everything" is as descriptive as not wanting people to post about your procedure is helpful. What exactly is going on with it? For future reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644970
You should also update both FFF and TWRP on both devices once they are working normally.
If i may suggest flashing modaco first after a good wipe everything except your sdcard I believe this will make a smoother transition if you desire to return to stock before returning to stock always do a good wioe to remove remnants of previous roms download the latest stock bin and rename it to update.zip do not place it in any folder just at the root of your sdcard flash in twrp this will also wipe out twrp and fff I really dont recommend doing this lots of people fail at doing the procedure correcty modaco is stock with only the market added try this approach first then you can retain fff and twrp for custom backups.
Ok, so, I've been investigating and what I'm really looking is to erase ABSOLUTELY everything from the kindle sdcard, system, etc, everything. And I'm looking for a method to sideload from the pc the orginal stock ROM of Kindle Fire. Any clues, directions? Any fully functional software?
I really, don't want to try the adb commands (I've tried them before), nor follow any tutorial about root troubleshooting.
I'm really sick of them and of all that mal-functioning software that you have to download(Eg. Not-responding superOneClick, kindleFireUnbrickUtility saying in one line <No device found> <Processing something> <Congrats, your kindle is good to go! (When it's not)>, Eternal loading Android Commander)
With all due respect I DON'T want any more of those, as I said, 3 months is sufficient time, I feel so frustrated.

Read from "Reverting to stock software". You can manually rename the file and then copy it into the KF instead of using ADB for it, just make sure the extension is .zip and not .zip.bin (Windows hides extensions per default settings).

To restore back to full factory
1. Download Kindle Fire Software Update Version 6.3.1
2. Rename the file to update.zip
3. Get in to TWRP and mount USB drive
4. Copy update.zip to Kindle Fire
5. Unmount USB drive
6. Do factory reset, then wipe system cache, and dalvik cache
7. Flash the update.zip
8. Let it bootloop about 3 times or so...
If you want FFF and TWRP then flash Stock 6.3.1 Basic from TWRP. This has no root or gapps.

When trying to execute the adb shell commands all I get is:
- exec 'system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
I've also tried, fastboot update | flash | boot | flash:raw
This is with one kindle, with the other one, I can't even get the PC to recognized it as a USB
Is there any tool, that really erases everything and take the stock ROM to be installed again? Software, script?

Ahh, that's a bother. It's a pretty annoying error. Could be something messed with your TWRP (I'm assuming you tried the commands from there).
There isn't one, but there's really no need for it... you just rename the ROM to update.zip, wipe cache, dalvik-cache and factory reset, and install update.zip. If you just want to flash stock because you like it better for whatever reason, you could also just look at the MoDaCo custom ROM instead, as it is stock based.
As for the other KF... you can't get it recognized, from where? The ROM? TWRP? Fastboot?

Both of the kindles, are damaged. I can't access them. I just can access one by USB.
For future reference:
This user's issues have been partially dealt with.
The first KF will require a factory cable to be fixed.
The second KF was soft bricked (there were a few corrupt partitions) after a bad flash attempt of the stock ROM. Luckily, FFF was still installed, but the Windows fastboot drivers weren't. Reinstalled FFF+TWRP from Firekit, and then fixed the partitions, wiped and flashed the stock ROM.

Ok, So, I have the factory cable. How can I test its Ok?
I have another question, the kindle is pratically empty no system, no sdcard memory, probably corrupted ¿How do I use the factory cable, to format the Kindle and install the Stock ROM again?
With the KF off and unplugged, type "fastboot getvar product" on a shell (KFU/tools).
Then plug in the KF using the factory cable. If you get anything listed or returned, it should be working fine. Otherwise, if you wait a few seconds and still nothing, you'll have to check the drivers to make sure the correct fastboot ones are installed.
To check the partitions, you can just "fastboot boot twrp.img" to load a TWRP into memory, and then "adb shell parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 p" to print all partitions' information.

Well, I'm at my job now. So I will try this at home, but the shell is not working since system/sh (shell) it's not in the Kindle. I was trying to boot it yesterday with "fastboot boot twrp.img" and nothing. I also tried: "fastboot getvar product" and nothing but I only used the console. Anyway, let's see what happens...
Quick question, I've read that the factory cable puts the Kindle straight into bootmode, ¿So the color of the power button, has something to do with it? ¿I mean how do I know the kindle has entered factory mode? ¿The orange light is an indicator? (With a standard USB Cable I only get the green light with the power button, with the factory cable I first get green light, then orange light)
I've also read that if I can see the Kindle fire logo, the bootloader is Ok. Hence my Kindle is OK, but I can't enter fastboot mode. ¿Can anyone confirm this?
It'll get stuck in the bootloader screen, and fastboot commands should work as well, provided the drivers are properly installed and working.

OK, I've finally made myself a working factory cable. And in the device manger I can see the kindle listed as "Android phone" and in that root it says "Android ADB Interface". Look like drivers are not working. Where can I download them?
Those are the proper drivers for fastboot you should be able to use kfu to send twrp and fff to the device if that doesn't work you will need to fastboot flash them
All I get is < waiting for device>. Looks like the drivers are not installed.
Simply hold the power button down while connected when it says waiting then power it back on and it should send also try unplug replug when it says waiting

If you would like some help I have some time before work but you must finish your thread for the benefit of others
My Kindle was rooted but I decided to try my hand at installing a custom ROM. However, the ROM I tried would not work and the screen stayed black. However, thanks to TWRP I could install Kindle from Amazon again. The installation went thru smoothly, or so I thought. Now, when I boot the Kindle, I see the Kindle Fire Logo and it stays there. The Computer can see the Kindle as an Android device, Android Composite Device. But Kindle Fire Utility cannot see it so I could try and re-install it again. Any suggestions?
Lacking information, so I'll just fill the voids with assumptions.
I *assume* you didn't wipe cache, dalvik-cache and most important when switching from a ROM to another, Factory Reset - this is the reason said custom ROM wouldn't work, and the reason flashing back update.zip (as you said you installed it, rather than restoring a backup) caused your KF to get stuck in a semi brick.
The most important question here is, do you have FFF installed?
If you do, fixing this is trivial. Just get into TWRP from FFF, wipe cache, dalvik-cache and factory reset and then install whatever ROM you'd like to try or use.
If you don't have FFF installed, then your solutions are to either get a factory cable (recommended) or to crack open the case and do the USB pin short trick. From there you can use fastboot to install FFF and boot into TWRP.
Alternatively, you can try "fastboot getvar product" or "adb shell idme bootmode 5001" to see if you get lucky.

i have similar problem ......please need help
After successfully rooting kf with kfu and making a backup ... I did factory reset and flashed a custom rom ... now kindle is stuck on " kindle fire" logo and just keeps flashing and rebooting . My computer recognizes it as android phone ( android adb ) and kfu does too but only for a couple of seconds . During those few seconds I try recovery ... fast boot ...normal boot... n none seem to work . Kf just reboots n returns to boot loop . Any advice is appreciated .. thanks

What colour is the "kindle fire" logo when you turn on your KF?
Force Kindle into Fastboot
Ok, so I have finally got my Kindle to turn on, using the USB Short Trick. Now my only question is about getting the Kindle to boot into fastboot mode so I can re-format the sdcard partition and finally load a new ROM. I have tried several different commands and they all seem to miss the window of opportunity to start the kindle in fastboot mode. Is there any way, short of a factory cable, that one can make the kindle start in fastboot mode?
Not fastboot get var

fastboot getvar product doesn't seem to do the trick. The kindle seems to be in fastboot mode but the adb shell cannot access the device.
The problem is that you don't have the fastboot drivers installed (also, ADB will not work while fastboot is active) - Windows is painfully slow at detecting a device and installing its drivers, so by the time it even notices anything, the fastboot window is already over.
To solve this, use firekit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
The script that will probably suit your needs the most is usb_install_fff_twrp.

I have TWRP and FFF installed. However, upon booting into TWRP, the sdcard partition cannot be mounted, to the Kindle that is, and as such, I cannot mount the sdcard to the computer. When I researched this some more, I found that I can fix this by using a command via adb shell. The guide instructed using fastboot to achieve this. When would be the best time to use adb shell?
What's the output of partitions.txt? (type the following from TWRP)
adb shell parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 p > partitions.txt
Can't use adb

The problem at hand is using adb. I can never time it exactly right to open adb. I always get an "error: device not found". Windows even recognizes that Android ADB Interface is plugged in.
Okay, things are getting awfully confusing here.
What exactly is it that you can do and that you cannot do?
For example, are FFF and TWRP functional?
GOT IT!
Thank you! I finally figured out that the wrong driver had reinstalled and that was causing my computer to not be able to use adb shell. I fixed that and voila, I am now running CM9. Thanks again!
Hi everyone,
I'm an Italian new user here on the XDA Developers Forum (so.. please forgive my English ) and I'm here to get help for my new Kindle Fire.
I've received it some days ago and i try to root it to install the Android Market (KF is not yet distribute here in Italy).
I followed some guide founded on italian forums, but now i'm stucked on the TWRP screen (on the KF, in recovery mode).
Some data about my situation
- PC OS: Windows XP Home SP2
- KF firmware: 6.3
- ADB installed
- files fbmode, TWRP 2.0, su, Superuser downloaded and placed in ADB cartel
This is what I've done:
After launching
fastboot -i 0×1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
my KF is blocked on the yellow triangle screen (the one with the "Press power button for recovery" voice)

I run the Kindle Fire Utility - select Bootmode Menu - 3.Recovery
KF reboot a pair of times, with the tipical sound of a device reconnecting to the PC; finally I have the TWRP screen on the KF, with the buttons Install-Backup-Restore-Wipe-Mount-Settings-Advanced-Reboot
Running DOS command, I find my KF in recovery mode
In Windows Device Manager I find just the voice "Android Phone - Android Composite ADB Device" (sorry for the Italian printscreen)
..while I find the voice "Amazon Kindle USB Device" under "Hard Drive"
If i check Control Panel - Hardware Installation (sorry.. I don't know the translation for this word.. could be Hardware Setting or Facility), the device is correctly installed
In Kindle Fire Utility, if I make a different selection on the Bootmode Menu:
1.Normal - Kf reboot a pair of times, then returns on the TWRP screen (Boot Status 0x5003)
2.Fastboot - nothing seems to run
So, I run Kindle Unbrick UtilityV1.1:
Recovery Loop - Kindle unbrick in progress <wainting for device>
..after a few seconds OKAY, Congratulations, your Kindle should be unbricked ...and doesn't proceed.
Stuck at logo - Kindle unbrick in progress <idme> write 4000 to offset 0x1000. Congratulations, your Kindle should be unbricked
..Kf reboot a pair of times, then returns on the TWRP screen
Framework-Res - a pair of DOS command lines, then Kf reboot a pair of times, then returns on the TWRP screen
Modded/system/app - as Framework-Res
Other - Kf reboot a pair of times, then returns on the Yellow Triangle screen
..so, here I am, blocked rooting the KF and without any ideas about how to proceed.
At the moment.. I've got a beautiful expensive mirror, and not a Kindle
I hope someone could help me.. if someone understand my awful English :laugh:
Your FFF and TWRP are outdated. Get the latest TWRP from here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/79
And the latest FFF from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632375
You're most likely stuck in fastboot mode. You can verify this by seeing if "fastboot getvar product" or "fastboot devices" output anything.
Either way, you don't need to worry about getting out of fastboot mode if you update the bootloader and the recovery; the updates fix the bug related to bootmode changes.

Thank you in advance for your answer.
I'm goint to download the latest FFF and TWRP as soon as I come back home in the afternoon.
To update them.. How can I do? I download the latest, I cancel the older under the ADB cartel, I put the latest under the ADB cartel and the I re-launch the installing commands by the DOS prompt?
When you say "You can verify this by seeing if "fastboot getvar product" or "fastboot devices" output anything" do you mean to run that commands by the DOS prompt?
You can run those commands from a command line prompt started at KFU/tools
To update FFF, just install its zip from TWRP.
To update TWRP, as you're stuck on fastboot now, type "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img"
To other people that are going to be asking questions.
See how detailed this question was? This is the kind of stuff people should be asking instead of "oh noes, my kindle is not rooting please help!" It makes it a whole lot easier to help you. *end rant*

I try to update at first TWRP.
I download the openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img, put it under the ADB cartel (C:\Programs\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools) and launch (by DOS) the command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img but it keep looking for the device (the device situation is the same of my last post):
About upgradind FFF:
you tell me to install it from TWRP. On the TWRP screen on the KF I have the Install Button.. but how can I put the new FFF ont the KF root?
Is this the correct procedure?
Sorry for my many questions.. but I'm still stuck in this situation.
I also accept temporary solution to return to the normal situation (KF working, without rooting it), just to use it during my holidays.
Help :fingers-crossed:
To move FFF 1.4a's install zip into the SD card:
Get in TWRP and connect the KF to the computer, if ADB is working properly, run:
adb shell mount sdcard
adb push fff.zip /sdcard/
adb shell umount sdcard
The first command may return an error if it's already mounted, ignore it if that's the case. Then you can just press install, it'll be at the root of the SD card.
About updating FFF: your fastboot drivers may not be installed. You can get the KF stuck in fastboot mode, so Windows will have enough time to detect the device and let you install the drivers, by typing the following from ADB (get in TWRP first):
adb shell idme bootmode 4002
Once your fastboot drivers are sorted, "fastboot devices" or "fastboot getvar product" will return results.
At that point, issue:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(replace twrp with your file's name) to update TWRP, then set the bootmode back to normal with:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
As a side note, TWRP 2.2 is out. You may want to flash that instead of 2.1.1
Back from holidays.. back at work on my KF :fingers-crossed:
I upgrade TWRP at v2.2.0, using Kindle Fire Utility.
Always using Kindle Fire Utility I install the latest version of FireFireFire:
Everything seems ok: with the DOS command adb devices I finally see the KF as "device" (an not as "recovery")
and in Windows Device Manager I find "Android Phone - Android Composite ADB Device" and "Amazon Kindle USB Device" under "Hard Drive"
Completed this operation, I'm stucked at KF logo.
So, I launch Kindle Fire Utility: I choose "Install Permanent Root with Superuser". Something goes ok, somethings goes wrong.
I waited for 30 minutes.. nothing happened.
But the KF passed form the KF logo to the TWRP screen and the command adb devices reported me the passage from device to recovery
..I'm going to burn the KF...
[UPDATE]
Before burning the KF.. I re-launch Kindle Fire Utility - Install Latest FireFireFire.
We are back at KF logo and adb devices - device
I launch Kindle Fire Unbrick v1.1 - Stuck at Logo function
The KF remains stucked at logo and adb devices - still device
I re-launch Kindle Fire Utility - "Install Permanent Root with Superuser". Same situation (no more KF logo but TWRP screen):
I also tried this solution Stuck at KF Logo but it's still stucked at KF logo.
I must say: I ran the "install_driver.bat" but it doesn't worked
I modified the code LANGUAGE in dpinst.xml (0x0409 - italian)

I hope the link to the guide you posted will help me
When you boot up, if you see a blue Kindle Fire logo, it's already installed. Otherwise, put it on your sdcard via adb or the mount function in twrp, then select install, find and select it in the menu and flash.

Installing a custom ROM
This section assumes the device is already booted into TWRP recovery.
1) Carefully read the ROM thread for specific directions and warnings provided by the developer when flashing any new ROM.
2) Copy the custom ROM zip file to the /sdcard directory on the Kindle Fire...
Code:
adb push C:\kfu\software\ROM.zip /sdcard/
You must replace the "ROM.zip" part of the above command to the actual name ROM's zip file you've downloaded.
3) From the main menu of TWRP, "Wipe -> Factory Reset" to remove the existing files in the data and cache partitions that could interfere with the operation of the new system software. A "Factory Reset" will delete any installed apps, software/network settings, etc. It will not touch the /sdcard directory that contains music, eBooks, and files of that nature.
4) From the main menu of TWRP, "Install" to flash the ROM onto your device. Navigate to the /sdcard directory on the left (should be the default the first time you use TWRP) and select the file from the list on the right. Then simply "Swipe to Confirm Flash" to install.
5) From the main menu of TWRP, "Reboot -> System" to boot into the newly flash ROM.
Congratulations! You have completely replaced the stock Kindle Fire software with a custom ROM!

The first boot logo is the bootloader (FFF1.4). The second one is the boot animation of the stock Kindle Fire software (which is having conflicts). You need to transfer a ROM to your device, factory reset (wipe) and wipe system. Then flash the ROM as with FFF before. Afterwards it wouldn't hurt to wipe cache and dalvik.

Done.
I transfered the ROM with adb push C:\kfu\software\fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip /sdcard/
On TWRP, "Wipe -> Factory Reset"
On TWRP, "Install" -> fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip + "Swipe to Confirm Flash"
On TWRP, "Reboot -> System".. system stands for 30 minutes trying to rebooting; I manually launch the reboot from adb reboot
KF reboots in recovery mode, with the TWRP screen on.
On TWRP, "Wipe -> Cache + Dalvik"
Is this the correct situation?
You don't wipe anything before installing FFF. It is only necessary to wipe those partitions when you are installing a different ROM. If you try to reboot into the system at this point, nothing will happen because you wiped those partitions. Flash a ROM to fix it.
I'm so lost
I'm so lost about what I need to do to get my kindle working again. I guess I'm stuck in a boot loop. With the kindle plugged into the computer it shows up in the device manager as "Android phone -> Android ADB interface (right?). It first got stuck like this a while back and I could boot into TWRP. I tried to flash an update ROM but couldn't find it with the navigation interface. But a couple of days ago I was poking around trying to get it back and using Kindle Fire Utility I was able to install (it went through the KFU download first) Clockwork Recovery Mod. Using CRM, if I try to apply \sdcard\update.zip it says "no such file or directory" and installation aborted. Can someone point me in the right direction? I hope this is enough info but like I said I am SO confused about what to do next.
more info like maybe start your own thread saying you think your in a boot loop means nothing to me cwmr is not industry standard doubt it ever will be... you have fff.. in a bootloop what does it look like? there are about a hundred ways to incorrectly flash update.zip and only 1 way to do it correctly... I dont recommend this for you because of you level of experience which sounds to be nill to none...android adb interface is the incorrect driver or its an indication of being in fastboot... if your in recovery and plug it in it should read android composite adb interface...at this point I suggest you fix your drivers and do nothing with your kindle till that is sorted and we have more info to digest in order to direct you in the proper fashion with out so much guessing so start a thread provide more detail...

Hi there!
I was having the exact same problem and I guess I kinda solved it on my own.
I researched a little bit and found the following post regarding the rename-error:
can be ignored because it's allready renamed ...

I thought "Well, nice! But that doesn't solve the problem that I'm stuck at TWRP..."
Then I found a completed log file of the KFU root process which ended with...
***********************************************
* Root Installed *
***********************************************
Permanent root has been installed.
With great power, comes great responsibility.
Please be careful with how you use root.

I noticed that there was only one little step between the rename-error and the above final message:
Installing Superuser.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I found the superuser.apk file in the files folder of KFU, put it on my Kindle Fire, switched to fastboot mode (wasn't sure if I need it) and... installed it! Manually! (via ES File Explorer)
Then I installed the Google Apps and locked the wallpaper via KFU - it worked! I tested the Google Play store - and it worked too!
Do I get it right that everything is fine now? Or is it possible that I'm still missing anything? If the latter is the case I'm not noticing it...
EDIT: Oh, and one more question. I thought that the FireFireFire bootloader would replace the old bootloader. But after the FireFireFire bootloader is finished the stock bootloader starts. Is that right?

No. What you're seeing is the stock Kindle Fire animation. There isn't enough room in the boot partition for two bootloaders.
First - sorry for my English. Last monday i received my KF2 and when I could not find the instructions on this forum for version 10.4.3 - i decided to try it myself.
Introducing: Kindle Fire 2 (v10.4.3 & v10.4.6 already tested) installing CyanogenMod
** YOU SHOULD HAVE A WORKING NORMAL (NOT FASTBOOT) CABLE + ADB DRIVERS/ACCESS ON YOUR PC. **
*** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! WHILE I TRY MY BEST TO PROVIDE WORKING KERNELS/ROMS, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS SOFTWARE OR ANYTHING I'VE WORKED ON SUDDENLY FRIES YOUR DEVICE. ***
*** READ CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ***
*** Kindle Fire 1st-gen ROMs/KERNELS are *NOT* compatible with the Kindle Fire 2. Please only flash ROMs/KERNELS that are made for the Kindle Fire 2. ***
** IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, RE-READ THROUGH THE THREAD FOR ANSWERS. WHEN YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY SURE NO ONE HAS ASKED YOUR QUESTION, GO AHEAD AND RE-READ THE THREAD AGAIN AND USE THE SEARCH FEATURE. THEN POST YOUR QUESTION IF YOU STILL CAN'T FIND THE ANSWER **
INITIAL SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1. Install ADB Drivers for Kindle HD and enable ADB on tablet Settings->Security->Enable ADB->On
Check ADB:
Code:
C:\> adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
If you do NOT see this, then make sure you have the SDK installed correctly and you have the right setup for ADB on your PC before proceeding.
STEP 2. Backup your stock partitions to your own HD for later if you need disaster recovery:
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0
adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot
adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery
adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system # This will take a few minutes
Take those files and put them somewhere safe.
STEP 3. Getting root
Just follow this threat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075959 -> everything working fine
STEP 4. Downgrade your bootloader
Download the older 10.2.4 bootloader file and flash to your device via fastboot:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter2/otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
md5sum 5b03a7b428325de8d360ec201a745498
(You SHOULD check this before using fastboot -- downloads CAN be corrupted)
Open cmd and promt:
Code:
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
Your Kindle should reboot in fastboot mode, and now flash bootloader:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
STEP 5. Install TWRP
First, download CM and GAPPS and copy it to SDCARD:
CM-10.1 for the Kindle Fire 2 (choose the latest version from):
http://www.get.cm/?device=otter2
Google Apps from: http://goo.im/gapps (choose the top rom CM10.1 version)
1. Copy com.powerpoint45.FMKilo-2.apk to the tablet (you can get this apk from here http://d-h.st/n7L)
2. Enable on Kindle: Device -> Allow Installation of Applications
3. Use file browser (i recomended to use ES Explorer) to install apk.
4. Run Tweezermod Installer and answer on all question about Super User -> "Allow"
** If everything was done correctly you will at this point see the bootmenu with a BLUE logo during the reboot. **
In this time your kindle can not boot, u'll see BLUE logo, then ORANGE and then device restarted again. Don't worry - it's ok
STEP 6. Install CyanogenMod
TO ENTER RECOVERY:
During the blue logo screen press the power button to cycle through options and select "Recovery" to enter TWRP.
Once in TWRP you can Install" the CM-10.1 by selecting "Install" and then browsing the device and selecting it, then "Add Zip" and select the Gapps .zip as well.
Use the slider to start the install.
Dont forget to do FULL WIPE - cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, system.
Enjoy
Tested on my Kindle Fire 2 v10.4.3 & v10.4.6
7" KF HD 2, 10.4.6
This tutorial worked perfectly, up until the end, step 6.
I'm new to Kindle, but not Android. I got into TWRP prior to downloading CM10.2 and Gapps. And when i try to mount as USB, and this line shows in the log:
"Unable to locate volume information for USB storage mode"
Googling didn't help much with investigating that error. ADB sideload doesn't seem to work.
I don't know what to do from here.

I'm also on Win7 x64.
When it is on ADB Sideload, I see in my Device manager Amazon Kindle Fire2, but it appears to not be loading the drivers correctly.

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------
Also in my Device Manager, Portable Devices, it shows F: but there's no F: in my windows explorer.
I found instructions via terminal emulator to get it rebooted into fastboot, in hopes of flashing CM 10.2 via fastboot.
Looking up the fastboot syntax for flashing a new rom, I've always used recovery on my other devices, but i don't have that option now.

ADB Sideload - good idea. Try this manual:
1. Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
2. From the command line on PC, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
The file will be copied to your device to whatever the current storage location is that you have selected in the mount page. It will always be placed in the root of that storage location and named sideload.zip (e.g. /sdcard/sideload.zip) and it will automatically delete / overwrite any existing sideload.zip you may have on your device. As soon as the file is copied to your device, it will automatically be installed. When the install is finished you will be presented with a reboot system button so that you can reboot to test your zip.
Note that sideload mode is a separate ADB mode. While in sideload mode, regular ADB commands will not work. Once the zip has been copied to the device and the install starts (or if you hit the cancel button) regular ADB mode will resume.
My mistake in manual. Better way - copy rom file to sdcard before STEP 5.
I'm still unable to use adb sideload, reports "device not found". I have the usb drivers installed, your tutorial is the only one I have used, I can't use TWRP at all.
It works, but USB drive mounting doesn't work, ADB sideload doesn't seem to work. No errors in the log, but ADB reports device not found.
I don't know what to do from here. It's nothing like 4EXT or CWM.
Ok so I have got it in fastboot by going to Advanced->Terminal, idme bootmode 4
Once in fastboot , fastboot -i 0x1949 devices returned a device number
I flashed CM10.2 using "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system CM102.zip
Then I ran fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1
Then rebooted, doesn't load ROM, got back into TWRP, changed bootmode back to 1, reboot, says I have no OS.
That's my current status. Seems others have been at this point before, still workin on this.
Ok you can give up on thinking now, I've bricked it. No signs of life.
I flashed the 7.23 bootloader and TWRP 2.6 from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
via fastboot, and now it's done for.
Found a rooted one on craigslist for $120 to replace this one for my father in law.

I give up on Kindle's.

Assuming you have a Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, it's "hard-bricked."
Read the FAQ if you haven't already, specifically Q14 (although, read them all). Then, I would see if you can get Amazon to send you a replacement.
If they won't do that, take a look at this thread and this thread by me. As of now, I've succeeded in returning a hard-bricked KF2 to soft-bricked, but working out some bugs in order to return it to fully functional after that.

I've followed the linked guide to installing the sdk and driver (windows 7 64 bit) and I still cannot get the adb devices to list the kf2. What am I doing wrong?

Hello again.
I try, but I have a problem at this point:
fastboot-i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
Once put the kindle in fastboot mode, write the code in CMD and gets stuck saying <waiting for device>
What I'm doing with the standard USB cable.
edit
After trying on a USB, now the error is this:
target reported max download size of 486539264 bytes
error: cannot load otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin

how you get into fastboot mode? did u try Kindle First Aide?
i'm hesitant to try install new bootloader + TWRP on my kf2 without fastboot cable:
" *Note: After several conference calls with the Amazon Development Team we found Amazon applied a patch to the Bootloader in an effort to lock down the Bootloader, this patch rarely causes the Bootloader to stick or Bootloop, please use the above link to release the Bootloader. We have removed this patch from the boot-prod.img eliminating future issues with recovered HD 8.9" users. "

and
+Note: As of Amazon OS update 7.3.x+, there has been a lot of issues with rooting and flashing the 2nd-bootloader. Many users reported bootloops during the completion of the guide. Those with tablets running 7.3.0 or higher, please proceed with caution, and make sure you have a factory cable on hand if you wish to advance. I strongly recommend you make backups in Step 2.

I'm rooted and downgraded to bootloader version 10.2.3 and it still causes the red screen? I used the computer method and the terminal doesn't have any errors but recovery is not there. My Kindle Fire 2 is disconnected from wifi so it won't be updated to 10.4.1 Any idea why?

i really want to install cyanogenmod 10.1 on my rooted 10.4.6 without fastboot cable, but i think amazon updated bootloader to make it impossible without fastboot cable.
i disabled OTA updates and hope someone figures out 10.4.6 -> CM 10.1 without fastboot cable

HI
I enter fastboot mode as shown in the tutorial
"" "" Adb shell su-c "reboot bootloader" "" "" "
I ask for superuser permissions, accept and restart in fastboot mode
Appear a black screen with fastboot logo in red, and a traffic light with flashing green light.
But I can not move from there ....
