I've recently rooted my kindle fire and it has twrp and fff, I wanted to be back in stock "unbrick" so I shut down my kindle fire to go into twrp. I plugged my usb cable and sent the "unroot" file ti my kindle drive to unbrick it, but after i done that, I go to install to find the file i downloaded to i could flash it, but it wasn't there. I notice too everytime i plug in my kindle to my computer theres no "check" mark next to kindle when i plug it in. And the other problem is that I try to go back to my normal rooted kindle fire, and its stuck at the orange and white animated boot screen and it doesnt even flash. it just sits there and do nothing.
Any help would be thankful.

Um... I didn't understand any of that. Did you rename the stock os files to update.zip? If you didn't, rename it to update.zip and then use TWRP to mount your Kindle Fire and transfer the file. Then do a wipe and flash the update.zip.

I tried to root my Kindle Fire using KFU 0.9.6. But am unable to root, only the TWRP got installed.
In almost all the websites I found that once TWRP got installed properly then the yellow triangle will appear during reboot. But am unable to see that during reboot.
But am able to see kindle fire with blue color, instead of the ellow Triangle
could someone help me out in this?
thx in advance.

how do you know that TWRP got installed if you can't see the bootloader icon? Maybe try a different version of KFU, 0.9.5 works for me. Also be sure that your KFU recognizes your kindle when it's plugged in. The ADB status should say ONLINE in the main menu window.
Try this video on how to root 6.3.1 it works for me perfectly fine just make sure you follow all of the steps word for word. Just go to YouTube and type in "how to root kindle fire nat3mil" I would have posted a link but I'm new so it won't let me post links.

Yeah, this should be the version of Fire Fire Fire (1.4a) that was installed with KFU 0.9.6. There is a slight bug in the load up that will require you to tap the power button a few times to be able to switch between loaders (Normal, Recovery, Fast). Hashcode knows of it but it's not really a priority at this point since it's not causing anyone issues getting in to Recovery. Just a couple extra taps of the power button does the trick.
If you're looking to do a full wipe of the stock rom, make sure you clear cache, dalvik cache and do a factory reset.
I got to know that its bcoz of firefirefire am unable to see the yellow triangle. Now I flashed using the prerooted stock Rom. Installed play store. Working gr8... thanks for all those replied...

Rooted Amazon Kindle Fire with KFU Utility
Hey guys just wanted to give a little input. I was able to use the KFU utility ( the newest version ) and it worked just fine. I now have the Recovery installed TWRP but flashed Clockwork Recovery and all works. I'm looking to flash a 4.0 ICS version but haven't found the right source or file. Maybe I can be lead in the right direction. Thanks in advance! !!! Also uploading pic:

I also had problems with the latest KFU. I was left with 'partially' rooted device. I installed superuser.apk after that and now it's OK. I can even temporary unroot it to using OTA RootKeeper. AFAIK the only way to watch Amazon Prime videos is to temporary unroot the device.

I highly suggest you do not use ClockWorkMod Recovery with the Kindle Fire. It has been known to cause the Kindle to brick. Stick with TWRP even if you don't like it.
Unable to root! Stucked on TWRPP 2.2.0 Screen with several options
Hello,
I've tried to root my Kindle fire using KFU 0.9.6)
However, when the KFU is processing the rooting, the kindle restarts and stucks itself on the TWRPP Screen with several options (Install, Backup, Restore...) and the KFU software shows a message of Please wait.
Does anyone know how to move on with the rooting?
Thanks in advanced

Was attempting to re-root my Fire with KFU, however KFU chose to install TWRP first which I think prevented me from ever achieving root. So as instructed to reinstate my stock Fire out of the box I flashed the update file as I had before to unroot it which worked perfectly. However, now I am stuck at the Kindle Fire boot screen and no TWRP to boot into recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reverting to stock, does just that. It reverts your device to the state it was in when it came out of the box, and is completely unnecessary. TRWP does not prevent "root", it simply aids in the "rooting" process, which is unnecessary in itself.
Put your device in fastboot (very likely it already is), reinstall TWRP, install FFF, wipe partitions, and flash a ROM. Problem solved.
IF any of this is foreign to you, you should do a little research before continuing and getting yourself into more trouble.

Getting the attached error from windows..
What I think is that you are in a different bootmode, but your kindle is not showing up as a adb device. Have you tried hard resetting? But remember, unplug the USB cable, then hold the power button for 20 seconds, power back up, and then see if you can see the kindle appearing in KFU
Edit: I agree with soupmagnet. If my suggestion doesn't work then use the links he posted and follow his method

Forget about rooting it for a second. It is unnecessary. Install a custom ROM and be done with it.

First of all, I'd like to thank you all that make this community so valuable to us. I read the forum since I got my KF, around 6 months ago, and all the tutorials are very well detailed.
Today I tried to install a new ROM on my Kindle for the first time. It all went well, and I successfully installed the stock Jelly Bean from Hashcode. But the problem now is: I don't know how to install the GApps on it.
I'm trying to use the ADB and Kindle Fire Utility but it doesn't find the device.
Anyone of you guys could give me a hand with that problem?
Thanks
Are you using twrp? You flash gapps onto it the same way you flash a Rom. Boot into twrp, go to install, locate the directory where you have the gapps.zip file stored and click on it, flash it. Then wipe cache/ and dalvik cache and reboot.

I think the problem is with the adp drivers...I can not find my device so I can restart it with TWRP.
Ok but if you have fire fire fire and twrp installed already you should be able to bout into twrp by pushing the power button repeatedly during startup until it shows you voting into recovery mode.
Make sure you have the correct drivers installed,I believe the kf should show up as composite adb interface device on your pc with the right drivers. Someone else might be able to help you more but really the easiest way to flash gapps is to do it through twrp the exact same way you flash the new Rom minus the system wipe and factory reset.
Your device is a first gen kindle I assume?

Yes, it is a first gen Kindle.
I'm trying to boot to TWRP pressing the power button during startup but either I'm doing it wrong or something went bad after I installed the ROM.
I also tried to install the ADB driver in another computer but after I connect the kindle the PC recognizes it only as "Amazon Kindle Fire", and not the ADB interface.
I don't know what to do. But thanks for your help!
Try using the pc that is recognizing it as a kindle fire, uninstall the kindle fire drivers through device manager and then install the Google adb drivers, then hook the kindle back up to it via usb and see if it shows up correctly then?
Is your boot screen showing kindle fire in blue and white or the stock orange or something else?

The ROM is indeed much better than the stock one on the KF.
Hello all,
Right now I am getting very pissed at my kindle. I rooted it with KFU and installed TWRP and then flashed it to twa_priv's CM10.1/SGT7 ROM. After flashing it and gApps it got stuck on the cyanogen boot screen/animation. I tried to reboot it but it doesn't even show the option to go into TWRP anymore. It shows the orange Kindle Fire logo then goes straight to cyanogen and the logo just keeps spinning. I am getting ADB status when I connect it to KFU but I can not do anything with it or put it into Fastboot. Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point!

You shouldn't be mad at the Kindle, it didn't do anything wrong.
On the other hand, you probably failed to wipe system and factory reset before flashing the ROM (installation instructions are in twa_priv's SGT7 thread btw). Unfortunately, short of opening the case and list of other things that are outside the scope of this conversation, you're going to need a factory cable to get into fastboot.

If you're getting adb and the Kfu works why cant you just change to fadtboot from there?or re install root from here, adb should be able to give command line to access twrp

Personally I would say go with Skorpn's. They are made in small batches with great quality, fairly inexpensive, fast shipping, and everyone who gets theirs from him seem quite pleased with it overall. He's got a pretty good reputation on XDA so you should probably look into it, if not for that reason alone.
