[Q] Possible to flash update.zip from fastboot?

I have a Kindle Fire that I rooted using KFU. FireFireFire and TWRP are both installed. It was working fine for a while, but after I installed the Google Apps and set up the Market account, the Kindle froze. After I turned it off (holding power for ~20 seconds) it would not turn back on for about a half hour. When it finally did turn on, it got through the FireFireFire bootloader screen and went to the regular loading screen, then froze on a black screen (but with the backlight on). I can boot into TWRP, and I have a stock update.zip on the Kindle already, but as soon as I touch Install the recovery freezes (the screen updates to the choose a file menu, but then I cannot select anything or go back).
With all that back story out of the way, I want to try to restore the Kindle Fire to stock and see if the problem persists. Well, I don't want to per se, but it's technically my girlfriend's Kindle Fire and that's what she wants. Since it can get to FireFireFire, I assume I can still use fastboot. I have read up on how to use fastboot to flash a new recovery or do a data wipe, but I was wondering if it is possible to use fastboot to flash the update.zip or update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin? And if so, what would the command be? The fastboot section of the beginner's guide only mentioned flashing the individual pieces (boot, system, etc..).

It has been asked before if you can fastboot flash a rom to your kindle I dont believe that has been determined very good question so far I have not seen an answer. Im guessing flashing stock would fall under the same category. I would say no because when you fastboot flash its to a specific destination not multiple partitions.

I would boot to TWRP, select Wipe then do Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Factory Reset.
Then if you want the pure stock, then flash this version of Stock 6.3.1(No Bootloader or Recovery).
This will leave FFF and TWRP intact so if you need to get back to them.
If you do want Google play and Super User flash this file.

Thanks for the reply, however as mentioned I cannot do anything in Recovery. If I touch Wipe the same thing happens as with install, it freezes after I complete the first menu change.

I would re-install TWRP then and go from there.

[Q] Stuck in TWRP recovery

Ok, so I have a question that either does not exist on Google or that I just don't know how to explain.
My Kindle Fire 2 was flashed a while back with a stock version of Android Jellybean 4.2.2, until today. I made a complete backup of everything inside TWRP and transferred all of those backup files to my laptop. I then flashed a newer version of TWRP, version 2.6.3.1. After that, i flashed the newest version of Cyanogenmod 11, Android 4.4.4.
Anyways, I got to adjusting the settings and told it to allow me to pick between rebooting into recovery or normal mode when i pressed the reboot button on the power menu.
Here is my problem though. At one point, I told Cyanogenmod to reboot me into recovery, and ever since, my Kindle will only let me boot into the TWRP recovery area, regardless of what I tell it to load in the bootloader.
How can I just get it to boot to the normal OS? I've tried reflashing the recovery and reflashing Cyanogenmod onto it. I just don't know what to do because I don't know exactly why this is happening.
I've tried wiping the /data partition too, but to no use. I still am able to wipe internal data partition, however I don't know how it will respond to that. I mean... Isn't that where TWRP is stored? I don't want to lose my recovery partition where I have no way to get back.
If it comes to it, could I replace my recovery partition with Cyanogenmod?
I am still able to use ADB and I'm able to push files. (So far)

Possible solution

I assuming you have a TWRP bootloop problem? Like everytime you reboot it, it shows you the kindel fire logo (organge/white), then to the blue/white logo, and then instead of the normal android ui, it boots into TWRP? If this is the case, have you tried selecting the 'bootmode' option during the kindle fire blue/white logo screen? That was my solution when I had the recovery bootloop problem recently.

I tried telling it to boot normal during that screen. Still goes to TWRP.

Help trying to install twrp H811 TMO Marsh.

Hello so I've been trying to install twrp, so then after I can root. However whenever I boot into twrp using ADB, then install the twrp image, then after it's "successful", and I try to boot into recovery, it doesn't boot into twrp. I've tried using the buttons and it just shows the LG reset your phone option, and I've said yes but it just reboots my phone. And when I use adb to reboot into recovery it just reboots my phone. Any ideas? Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/stock-h811-20i-images-kdz-flashable-t3308227

Issue when flashing TWRP

Hi guys
I am trying to install the latest TWRP, but every time that I try to boot into recovery through "adb reboot recovery" the phone restarts and I see the android maintenance logo.
What I did up to now:
1) I unlocked the bootloader following LG site instructions successfully. I have the bootloader unlocked message.
2) Downloaded TWRP to my windows PC for H815. After doing "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-h815.img", the result seems to be successful as I get the expected OK message.
3) I try to reboot to TWRP through "adb reboot recovery" but every time goes to the maintainance logo. I tried also the button combination but I cannot see the Factory Reset menu or the TWRP menu.
Just to mention that I was completely stock V20d without root at the beginning and that the phone boots fine for the moment.
Please help.

No one had my issue? I am still trying to install TWRP and I only manage to boot it temporarily from the PC..

twrp needs to be flashed from within twrp. First boot twrp:
> fastboot boot twrp.img
Now you install the image as recovery.

I think this was the first issue, but after I should also remove the "read only" from TWRP in order to keep it in the recovery.

Not quite right. You can flash twrp image from twrp recovery. No need for a zip.

Loading into stock recovery after TWRP install

I recently bought an Oneplus 3 and wanted to root it, I succesfully unlocked my bootloader but when I try to flash TWRP and then load into the recovery mode the phone shows the oneplus logo for a few seconds and then turns itself off (even though ADB said it was succesfully flashed), when I reboot and go into recovery in brings me to the stock recovery.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT:
I previously had TWRP running on my Oneplus 3, at the first boot of TWRP I selected 'Read Only' because I saw that in a video, I couldn't flash a certain rom thats why I tought I had to update my TWRP, does this have something to do with it?

Anyone?

Don't let it boot into system. Fastboot TWRP, unplug your phone, boot into recovery manually (power + volume down).
In TWRP, select reboot system and it will apply a fix before it reboots and it should stick then.

Can this be apply on other devices? Because I am having the same problem

This is universal: After flashing OEM ROM, don't boot into system. Boot into recovery, you will get into TWRP and from there boot into system. Or after flashing OEM ROM, flash Magisk and then boot into system.

Yeah, what he said. You can reboot recovery from TWRP and TWRP will patch it or you can flash magisk and it will do the work. What you can't do is flash TWRP and then boot directly to system because the stock recovery will be restored. Realistically do both, reboot recovery and then flash magisk for the win. I congratulate you on searching BTW, this thread is more than 2 years old. You may want to consider perusing the appropriate section for your other device. If it's a newer device with AB you will have some specific procedures to follow relating to that.
