kfu extras...

Guys can someone please give me a link or something to kfu with all the extras already on it? Because my computer does not have Internet Atm and everything I download for it says the MD5 does not match... can someone help me with this please? Thanks before hand

The best way is for someone to dry run all the options without the kindle hooked up so it downloads all the files to the program then rezip and ship I would but it will be a few days before Im home

Here is my verison temporary link.
Stock 6.3.1 ROM This version WIPS Recovery and Data partitions, no root or gapps.

Possible brick, left with no files whatsoever on my KF

I have looked through the Kindle Forums and it seems I cannot find something that matches my problem, but if I missed the correct thread please link me to it if necessary.
So I've finally bricked my device after no problems since I've owned it. I had been on Twa_Priv's CM10 ROM and loved it and have had no problems whatsoever other than my lack of storage. I had a backup of my original rooted Amazon ROM on my device, and I planned on reverting to stock to start over so I can have a decent amount of memory. Little did I know, and I now learned my lesson for this, but without reading XDA before taking any action I went ahead and factory reset the device through the settings and left the room. I come back, for a second I see code running on the blank screen and then it reboots straight to TWRP.. That's when I checked my files and saw that when my KF was wiping files, it literally wiped EVERYTHING except for the TWRP folder of course., including important android system files a long with it. I've read similar threads where they were stuck with just TWRP, but from what I've read this is not the same.
If there is anything I can do to just get some form of Android running so I can revert to stock from there, I would be very much appreciative if someone could let me know. Thanks.

Will restoring the backup not do what you're looking for?

Well that's the thing, it even wiped my restores too somehow.. Pretty much at the moment my Kindle is like a really big flash drive with a screen :/

Do you want pure stock (no root, no TWRP, no FFF) or custom rooted stock (keep root, TWRP, FFF, and have Gapps included)?

For now just pure stock, I can always re-root and all the good stuff when I'm willing to move away from Amazon's limitations since I know the information is out there for how to do so.

Then again if I can get a custom rooted stock that would be fine too, I forget the Amazon app store doesn't have good applications.

Are you able to mount your sdcard in TWRP?

Yes the SD card was mounted by default and I am able to unmount it and remount it as well.

Alright Thanks, I will let you know how it goes once I have everything downloaded and flashed

Sadly it didn't boot. It continues to just boot into recovery even after factory resetting and flashing the ROM.

When your device boots, do you see a blue Kindle Fire logo?

No, I just see the FFF logo and the power lights orange on its own and it goes straight to TWRP, I've even tapped the power to see if it was possibly stuck in, but it's not.

Download and flash FFF1.4.zip via TWRP and reboot. (don't wipe)
When you see the blue Kindle Fire logo, hold the power button until you see the boot options appear at the bottom.
Choose "Reset boot mode".

[Q] Kindle fire I believe is stuck in a boot loop.

When ever I turn on my kindle fire it first boots up to TWRP v2.6.3.1. Then I have to reboot it to the system. When it finally boots to the system stock 6.3.2 after 5-10 seconds it will turn off and boot into TWRP again. When it is in TWRP it doesn't reboot after 5-10 secs. I've tried using KFU and fastboot/adb command to try to boot it to normal boot. It still reboots. After that I've tried install CM11. After about 2 hours on it it didn't reboot. So I figured I should try a modded stock 6.3.2, but that still reboots after 5-10 secs.
Any ideas on how to fix? I can't seem to figure it out even after reading Kindle Fire For Beginners.

You could try restoring my nandroid backup in twrp, link in my list

I'm having the same problem. In my case, the cause appears to be the 6.3.3 OTA trying to flash, but it fails. I've yet to figure out how to prevent it from trying.

I guess I'll probably use a custom ROM then. I had permanent root with super user installed a while back from KFU . What would happen if I updated? Would that brick my KF? If I did update I could always re-flash it with a lower ROM/custom rom with TWRP, correct.

If you update you will lose root, if you update only way to root is reboot to bootloader and flash twrp, then install a custom rom

Wait I'm a bit confused. You will lose the recovery and the bootloader once you upgrade? I thought the the recovery and bootloader were stored on a separate partition so even if you upgrade your ROM, losing your root won't affect your separate partitions. Also from reading your post in the other thread, is what I'm experiencing might cause by TWRP since mine is v2.6.3.1 and only 2.2.2.1 can install 6.3.2 stock ROM or its might be caused by what Haus said that OTA 6.3.3 update is causing my reboot.

Kindle updates are not real updates, they are complete firmware files, and reflash bootloader, recovery, and system partitions

Oh okay thanks for the clarification on that. I'll probably look around for a good custom ROM to use for now then since I don't have a factory cable. Thanks man for helping me understand this and to Haus.

[Q] Kindle/Root crashed - Can't get past TWRP menu

I rooted my Kindle Fire a year or more ago. I'm not a super user and simply followed a guide I found on Youtube. I don't even recall which one. Things have been working fine for months but the last time I tried to use my Kindle, it boots up to a TWRP v2.5.0.0 Menu (Install, Backup, Restore, Wipe, etc).
The only instructional guide I can find online is a step-by-step to unroot the Kindle for warranty purposes. I don't want it unrooted. I just want it usable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm traveling with my Kindle and laptop. This is not the machine I used originally to root the Kindle.
Thanks.
Tipsy

I'm not an expert as you can see by my post count, but if you can boot into TWRP then try to download another ROM and install it.
You can follow this guide on what to do, its the one I just used a couple of minutes ago and it solved my problems.sd_shadow's pre-root 6.3.3. 6.3.3 Can't be rooted yet but instead of using the link I posted you can try a modded stock 6.3.2 with root installed, but the ones I tried would try to update and cause it to reboot after 5 seconds. If you have a working TWRP and want it to be working right now you can use the link I put till someone who knows better replies since you can always re-flash the system with TWRP.

Use the mount options in twrp to copy my pre-rooted 6.3.3, to the sd card.
Unmount, and install, if you want latest rooted stock rom.
.
You will need to upgrade twrp if you want to try a current custom rom
I will go into more detail if you want.

and a rom that says OtterX compatible like SlimKat,SGT, or CM11(posted in OtterX thread)

Okay, I watched your video. I'm over my head. I'm sure if I spent an entire weekend reading and researching, I could figure it out. But I don't have that much time right now. Is there a simple tutorial I can follow that will simply get this thing up and running?
Thanks.

If kindle is connected to WiFi, it will download 6.3.3 update, then try to install, install will likely fail, and reboot to twrp. In the unlikely event the update installs, you will lose root, and need a fastboot cable to reroot

Just wanted to follow up. I'm finally back with the PC I used for the initial Kindle root. I once again followed the instructions in your video and reinstalled your rooted 6.3.3 OS v1. This time, there's no doubt it was successful. Thanks very much for your help!
Do I understand correctly that this should remain stable and the Kindle will not attempt to auto-update the OS, rendering the rooted OS inoperative?
Tipsy

It should be as stable as stock, just rooted.
It is safe from updating, only till next update is pushed.
If there ever is another update.
But if you have twrp installed, update should fail.

Okay...I think I screwed up. I was in the Play Store and there was a Go Launcher update, which I installed. From that point on, everything went down hill. Parts of the screen were obscured, preventing me from making selections and nothing in my Newstand was usable. Also, Zinio, the primary app I use, would not load.
I figured I should not have loaded the Go Launcher update, so I went back to "Install" and reinstalled your .zip rooted OS. But it didn't seem to bring me back to where I was the other day. And I still have the same issues (Newstand and Zinio don't function).
Any ideas?

So got everything to work, but could there be something wrong with the 6.3.3 Amazon stock rom? It asks me to factory reset before the rom starts up. And then a bunch of applications fail to start at the beginning. Then when I try to restart, it just loops me back into factory resetting again.
Should I go back and try to load the pre-rooted 6.3.3 rom?
Just when I thought I had done it, haha.

the problem with the stock firmware is it wipes TWRP and FFF,
to reflash TWRP/ FFF you need to root with saferoot or you need a Fastboot cable
try [How To][Root] Kindle Fire 1 update 6.3.3 and Flashing FFF/TWRP [2014]
or Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery

Do you think that's the best strategy? To try the pre-rooted stock rom next? Not sure what else to do at this point to get it to the stock rom.

You can't use the pre-rooted, without Twrp
You need to Root or use a Fastboot Cable so you can reflash TWRP

Right, I was going to flash TWRP on there again, and then try the pre-rooted stock rom. Not sure why the regular Amazon rom failed so much for me.

a partition did not get formatted correctly, or the stock rom file was not complete.

Oh boy...so I tried to factory reset from inside the Amazon stock rom, and it's now basically frozen on the Kindle Fire boot-up screen (it's been going for like 30 minutes). I can't get ADB working nor can I get fastboot up. Does it sound like I bricked it?
Any other solutions without using a fastboot cable?

I'm just thinking - will a fastboot cable/adapter even work if the stock rom isn't even loading up?
Btw, just wanted to say thanks for your help and the time you've given me. No matter how this ends up, I do appreciate it.

Tried command
Code:
fastboot devices
If you get something like
Code:

Fast boot is working
If not, you need a fastboot cable.

Kindle is hard wired to boot into fast boot mode when connected to a fast boot cable, ROM or not

Ah, did not know that. I'm assuming I can just grab the adapter - will do now.

Alright, I'm back here for help! : )
So, I watched like 3 of your videos, and I got my fastboot adapter, and I loaded a recovery and bootloader.
The issue I have now is that I can't access the Kindle Fire from my PC to send the stock rom. Every time I ADB, it says "error: device not found". I mounted the SD card just like you did in the video, and it still doesn't come up. Any ideas?
Also, is there any way I could donate some money to you or something for all of your help. I don't have much, but your time should be compensated.
