[Q] REMOVING TWRP software

I have just downloaded the twrp software today on my kindle fire. It wont download any of the custom ROMs so I am just stuck on this screen. I even called Amazon and they couldnt help me...
Does anybody know how to remove TWRP from the kindle and set it back to the default system and its normal setup??

You called amazon and asked about twrp? Lol.

I'm sure that for you, this is not amusing. But for me, its funny for so many reasons. We'll fix you up, don't worry. But first let me explain a few things.
When you make any alterations to Amazon's proprietary Kindle Fire interface such as rooting or installing custom recovery, you void your warranty and in the process waive certain benefits like Amazon customer service.
But since you have already done that, you want to make sure you have good fail safes to protect your investment. Of course one of those fail safes is custom recovery (TWRP). Removing it at this point with the skill level you are at right now is a VERY BAD IDEA.
The good news is, your Kindle is not broken. In fact, its doing exactly what it was designed to do, although its pretty hard for you to see that at the moment.
So the first thing you need to do is read this

And come back when you are done

I'm guessing thousands of people have used TWRP successfully to get ROMs installed, so I suspect something else is going on. Maybe you'd like to give this a read...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
so you can get an idea of how things work. Then if you want to explain...
1) what you did so far and how you did it
2) how you are trying to install ROMs
3) exactly what your Kindle Fire is doing
I or someone else here can help you get where you are going. Whether that's flashing a new rom or going back to stock, that's up to you.
As a side note, calling Amazon to tell them you've voided the warranty by flashing unauthorized software and then asking for help is probably not a good idea.
EDIT: There were no replies yet when I started typing.

Next Step
Alright I have read the thread from that link, now what is the next step?

It could be the cable. When you download stuff, always try at least 5 times. I always have to anyway.
Haha to calling Amazon by the way.

Lol, to calling Amazon. Stick in there buddy a few months ago I was also a totl noob. It gets easier and there are lots of peeps here that can help you with pretty much any problem. A little bit of searching help too. What I do before I even start downloading ROM's, mod's or, add-ons, I do a bit of research. That way I where to look again if I bork something.

kindle gen 1 twrp
Hey I have a KF 1st gen that I have rooted. Currently it is I guess stuck in twrp. It is holding the blue and white KF logo. I can use the power button to go into boot mode/twrp to reboot. However once past that area it will immediately power down. And truly I would liketo go back to stock rom.

You will need to flash twrp to fix.

KF1 flashed with TWRP 2.2.21-blaze/CM11 OtterX Nightly
Successfully flashed the above TWRP on a KF1, and then used it to install CM11 OtterX Nightly the latest (10-04-2015) build.
Now it's stuck in boot loading.
Reentering TWRP console, which I can do--I have full TWRP, but I no longer have any Zips to install from. (My SDCard was wiped.)
I've tried to use ADB to push (after struggling with the drivers) the build back to my KF1, but I find I don't have permissions set up correctly.
I did reflash TWRP as is recommended below, but that did not help the boot load freeze.
Can I use ADB to push the build back for a reinstall? Can I use fastboot to push it?
What is the proper course to recover this KF1?
BTW, I do not have a factory cable.
Thanks for the help!

TWRP 2.2.21-blaze is not compatible with any roms with "OtterX" , CM11, or CM12
"Otter" CM 11 requires Twrp 2.7.1.0 or newer
see Kindle Fire Flashable Recoveries/FFF TWRP/COTR/CWM
OtterX roms require OtterX bootloader, and OtterX Twrp
see [How To] Fix Otter X Install Errors, Partition sizes, Unable to Mount System.

Factory cable is not needed if you have a custom bootloader

Thanks to your help SD I was able to install the Otter CM 11!
Now, I'm trying to install the ZIP of Open Gapps Nano for 11, and TWRP is reporting that I don't have enough space.
More investigation!

what's the full file name? size?

So, SD, I was able to install the pico Open Apps after installing gaps-kk. When that had me hanging in boot, I entered TWRP again and then did a wipe. On a whim, I rebooted into TWRP after the wipe, and tried to install the PICO OpenGapp zip. And, it installed!
I rebooted, and now I have GAPPS!
Can't explain it, but now it works. Thanks for all your help!

[Q] Kindle Fire Bootloader

So when I first rooted my kindle fire, I was using the KFU, and chose to use TWRP recovery, since that was first on the list. Then, looking at the ROM Manager in the pre-installed apps, it wanted CWM, so I installed it. Well, I don't like it very much, or at least I like TWRP a WHOLE lot better. So i tried using the KFU to reinstall TWRP, and when I booted my Kindle Fire...it booted with CWM. How do i get back the most amazing bootloader (TWRP) ever?

The TWRP that comes with KFU does not work. Replace it with one downloaded from the TWRP site...OR...go to the TWRP thread in the Development section and look for the flashable .zip for use in recovery...OR...use Smirkit

[Q] Help? Revert TWRP to 2.2.2.1 to install stock kindle OS

I've been trying to get back to stock Kindle OS and I almost bricked my kindle attempting this last night, I tried wiping the device to install it like I found on a forum here, step by step, when I accidentally wiped my backup and had no OS. I fixed that by installing the CM10 NIghties or whatever its called but I still want to get back to stock. Its come to my attention that the version of TWRP I have won't work trying to install the legit kindle update, so I need to downgrade TWRP to 2.2.2.1, not to mention I don't have a computer and even if I did I don't know how to ADB. SO, is there a way to downgrade my twrp recovery through the device? Or is there another way to get it to stock without bricking my device? All help is appreciated. Thanks.

Install smirkit and replace the TWRP that it comes with, or use it to install COTR.
[Edit:] And don't forget to FACTORY RESET!

Okay so I have smirkit, now how do I use it to replace TWRP? I'm so lost here, sorry for being a noob.

In that case, it would probably be smarter for you to install COTR.

[Q] Cannot nstall CM10.1 rom

I need some help peeps! I've been trying for days now but cannot get any tools to work. I have rooted my device and now need to install the rom, but i have tried KFfirstaide but when i run an option it cannot find the files it needs and also cannot mkdir! I have set the Path up so cant be that. The driver is ADB one not composite.
What other ways are there to install cm10.1?
Ideally id like to keep it as easy as poss, I did try installing the Clockworkmod rom manager from google play but couldnt get that to work as it couldnt install a recovery mode, also tried TWRP but that was worse it wouldn't load.
Does it all have to be done via command line? I did find pages where they show Clockworkmod and thats it.
By the way i have 7.4.6 on the device, also when using fastboot whats it supposed to do? I get the fastboot logo but thats all, is that it or is that not right? Also I can get into the system recovery screen but i only get 2 options, reebot and factory reset. Also When do u need a different cable? I only have the one that came with my device, is that ok? Its just i read that not all khd7's need the fastboot cable. Im really getting confused as i read that i could do a cm10 install with just 2 apps. CWM rom man & google play.
Is there a guide for the 7.4.6 version?
Thanks
JK

I don't know how you haven't hard bricked your device yet trying to flash recoveries like cwm, but you are on the kfhd 7" model. It has 2 methods of installing a custom ROM, you either use fire flash or has codes original method, I prefer fire flash because it involves less typing on my part, but if you forget to check off a certain box it will result in a red screen of death upon boot and you will need a fastboot cable to fix. Lemme get the link for flashing...
Edit: here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
One last note, make sure to copy the ROM you want to flash and gapps to the sdcard before you flash the 2nd boot loader and twrp or you will get stuck in a recovery boot loop thanks to Amazon's anti flashing measures. That was added kinda recently so the tutorials I don't think mention this.

So that link you sent me is that all i need to follow to get CM10.1 on my device?
What i really need is pointing in the right direction to get CM10.1 on my rooted KFHD7 7.4.6.
Thanks

Yes, just remember to follow the instructions I put in my post above before doing it.

[Q] Where can I get CM11 howto on Ouya

Hello
I own Ouya for the month but most of time I use it as media-box for TV (watching movies, etc)
I have already rooted it and installed play market but i hate the stock UI and obsolate android
I saw a video in youtube with CM11 and ouya (android 4.4) and started to google the solution
I already know that it is based on Eternity Project kernel.
I found the way to install bootloader http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic/1114365-eternityproject-tpl-bootloader-for-ouya/ and it is clear
The next step is to install kernel http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic/1114362-eternityproject-kernel-3437-for-ouya-cpu-2ghz-gpu-650mhz/ but it is unclear for me about fastboot command
The next step as I understand is to install CM11 from the CWM
Is it possible to install KitKat without EP kernel?
So If someone have detailed steps or howto on installing CM11 on ouya please give it to this thread
Thanks in advance

I think this is what you're looking for. I'm not sure the EP boot loader is compatible but I'm sure its mentioned in the thread somewhere. Or in the bootmenu thread anyway.

This is the order you need to go:
Upgrade to newest clockwork mod from milaq in your recovery.
Then install the failsafe bootloader.
Then install cm11 from the new recovery, along with gapps he posted in the same thread Make sure to wipe all the stock stuff.
Thats it.

Its hard to lay it out, you need to go to the threads where the info is already layed out.
Do you already have a custom recovery installed like clockwork? Great, then go to the failsafe thread to get a newer version of the recovery, and the failsafe installer. If you do not, you need to go to the custom recovery threads as there are multiple, and get any type of custom recovery installed. Then from there, install the newer custom recovery from the failsafe thread, then the failsafe itself from within the new custom recovery, then from there you can install cm11 using the cm11 thread following the instructions.

Just realized cwm is removed,can't install using oneclickrecovery tool either fails says cannot find img etcetc,yet its all there no problems adb is fine and works.Fastboot driver i can't get running although listed yellow exclamation,any ideas?
Fixed it managed to get fastboot going downloaded the required missing dll files and win_usb.inf set up and used ouyatoolbox 1.0.0.0 to rewrite recovery,found i can no longer add the newer 6.0.4.8 recovery zip in update from zip in 6.0.3.2 recovery though? Used to be able to do that. Any way tmore to the point is can someone tell me the step by step process to add cm11 firmware so i don't have to read a load of [email protected] that doesn't end up giving less than nothing in terms of having a clue how,someone in the thread writes about erasing stuff and what oreder but that doesn't tell you how to install or what erase process is or anything detailed and the net has exactly the same misguided tutorials on how to do it.Tellinng a newbie to erase stuff means they will erase all the wrong stuff in all fairness it's good to have a slightly better idea by reading that but it doesn't go in depth or step by step.
All i have found is sites pointing back to the xda pages that do not explain it,it's like your expected to know everything before you have been taught and fill in the gaps off the top of your head.

Exactly what he said, I just did these same steps on a 3rd new ouya yesterday and it went off without a hitch. The cm11 thread is long but honestly all the information you need is in the first few posts. If you were able to connect the ouya to USB and run oneclickroot then you're ready to get started.
