Nevermind. didn't see the sticky.
how do I delete?
I have been having the same problem... and have been very fed up working on and off for a few months trying to fix this problem. My kindle boots into recovery mode no matter what bootmode i set it to using KFU 0.9.6. I have tried going into fastboot, restarting the device, then booting into normal mode, then it flashes on and of a few times, then boots into recovery(I have mostly been running TWRP 2.0.0 but have recently received TWRP 2.1.1). It seems as if i have tried every possible variable!!!!! It is very annoying and it would be extraordinarily appreciated if somebody can find an answer!!! Please help!!
PS I will gladly post additional information upon request
This belongs in questions and answers, but you can get rid of it by using kindle software update which also unroots the device.
I wish that it was true ("factory defaults")

Unfortunately, going back to "factory defaults" is a misnomer. It only replaces the rooting operation. The bootloader is not updated.

Here's how to restore your KF to stock from a custom ROM
make sure you have the stock recovery installed (if you are in CM7 you are)
First, download the latest official update from here -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620
then download this file -> http://www.mediafire.com/?31sljwzyu0i1nev
and place it on your sdcard
it should be /sdcard/command
rename the amazon update to update.zip (even if it's a .bin file, make sure it is update.zip, NOT update.zip.bin
then, place that file on the sdcard under /sdcard/kindleupdates/
it should be /sdcard/kindleupdates/update.zip
turn off usb mass storage mode
go into the adb shell and type
cd cache
mkdir recovery
cp /sdcard/command /cache/recovery/
idme bootmode 0x5001
reboot
i just went from cm7 to stock and it worked fine
<3 thanks man
This makes me much more inclined to try to CM7; however, I think I will wait for a final version of the ROM. Seems like a lot of good progress is being made. Thanks for posting!
lol stick to stock until the wrinkles are ironed out. i feel like everybody wants in on the alpha builds for all devices until they actually test it out and wanna go back

I think the current CM7 build is pretty soild.
Is it possible to mess around with ROMs in Eclipse or do you need to be running linux?
Never tried using another OS. I believe the easiest OS to set up a build environment is linux (ubuntu primarily)

This is impossible as long as my device is infinitely restarts after logo Kindl Fire ...
Just does not work command adb shell.
This method is useless if the command adb shell is broken.
I don't think it was meant to provide a way out in case something gets messed up, just a way to get back to stock should you want to under normal circumstances.

Sure, it doesn't work, since you jumped the gun and tried to do this on your own without waiting for someone knowledgeable to put out clear instructions.
Any other posts people put up probably won't apply to you because you jacked up your Fire.
Why not seal deal the go for the coup de grace and make a factory cable, that forces it into fastboot etc so you can try and get back into adb.

This is the best post of all time since I broke my Kindlе. I'll try it if it is not repaired at a service center.
Not sure if that's sarcasm. Note: the bulletproof vest goes on before you get shot, not after.

Well, that was the first real piece of advice he got... So I suspect that he might actually be trying to say 'thank you'
Let me give you a little background.
Few days back, I rooted my phone. Then I used Titanium Backup to uninstall apps which I thought were not useful like LG TV, Email- should not have done that
Then the phone was somehow did not boot. I looked up internet and tried something- got worse: Emergency mode with yellow screen. Went ahead to a local phone repair shop and he exploited me well to hand me back the phone in working condition
NOW... the problem is camera does not work. It shows a black screen everytime I launch it. Going in Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All , Camera shows 0 bytes !
Searching on internet I found that I should not have uninstalled the Email app.
Please share some ideas on how I can help myself here. Any help will be appreciated.
PS- I am using Ubuntu on my computer and Froyo.
Holy hell! I had the same problem a long time ago! (Except no uninstalling was involved) It forced my dad to buy me a new phone.

Try installing a custom rom, like cyanogenmod
There are multiple ROMs for the LGOME and they have been behaving as any other ROM for any other phone.

@op
download custom recovery then
boot you phone into fastboot by pressing vol up + call + power button then use
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
then
fasboot reboot
then download any custom rom that you want and flash that
it will solve your problem
ps: do a google search for more info on fastboot use

Cleaned thread.
OP, I would advise, as you ask questions like the one you posted, verify the information posted before you attempt anything. If someone says that if you install a custom ROM on your device, it'll brick; go to the DEV threads, and check out other peoples experiences. You should also spend a ton of time researching before you start messing with your device. MOST of the big trouble people get into is not reading and asking enough questions. If you want to root, find out how to do it, AND how to fix it if it breaks, before you flash a custom ROM, find out how to do it AND how to get back to stock if you need to. The more you learn, the less the chances are that you'll end up in trouble

I think I did that mistake earlier. Read something about rooting and went straight ahead to brick the phone. I am hoping to have a clearer understanding of things this time. Since I am newbie, it will take effort. But this forum has so many experts and people are willing to contribute- I am sure I will learn a lot in the company of you guys.
I will dive in the DEV threads as you adviced. Thank you so much guys You are all my Santa Claus
Probable solution for the my camera problem?

If I use this thread, would it fix my camera ? I am not sure HOW should I install though, but of all the things I have read around here, it seems this might help. Please give your views whether I should go with this
If yes, could you please point me some link with detailed instructions ( the post assumes I know the HOW part ) ?
If you are using Froyo, give a try on it. Follow carefully the steps to how flash a ROM. If you already has an recovery, life is easier. If not, search on net about it =D
Any guides for Ubuntu 12.10

To be honest, I was confused with people talking about Clockwork and Nandroid- and I was stupid enough to try not finding out So, No. There is no recovery but on the bright side, I will do that as the first thing from next time onwards

I'm trying to unroot my kindle fire and revert back to STOCK ROM so I can send it back to Amazon due to touch screen issues, and I've read several forums that say it's an issue with TWRP 2.5 and that I should install 2.3, but I'm not sure how to do this.
It will take some searching on your part, but typically every version of TWRP in the KFDev forum has a recovery flashable .zip posted by other users. Or you could go to the TWRP website and download an older version and flash it in fastboot.

Very likely this go around will not be a first gen device anyway and the second gen. are a bit more complex you can actually permanently brick them. Unlike the first gen device which is nearly almost impossible to permanently brick. I would think every device you bricked was able to be repaired except the last with the touch screen issue. Unless perhaps that was just an indication of a partially corrupted system.

Of course, I look back on my previous kindles and realize I could have definitely fixed that if only I had the knowledge I had now thanks to guys like you all at xda!
I used kfu to install twrp2.2 but you could replace the twrp2.2 .IMG to a twrp2.3 solved!!!

This happened a lot on the g2. There is a line of code that can be entered in twrp that allows reboot but that is for the g2, don't know I will work on g3.
I did that on my g2 and it worked. I know its on xda forums you will just have to sift through the posts if you want to try. Between these forums and phandroid forums the only other method I have found is to do the unrooot/return to stock method. This will uninstall twrp and go back to stock recovery
I'm on my phone so I can't link, but if you look through my post history you will find the solution. I had this problem a few days ago. The thread was titled something like "softbricked my phone" or something if you want to look through the forums

From what I read from the forum, you were supposed to restore your original recovery before installing new update. I am sure you can find more information regarding your issue on same forum you found your twrp recovery...
I am not sure what happened to the phone exactly, but all of a sudden it got stuck at the Fire System Recovery screen. I can't reboot it. It keeps getting to this exact same screen every time I try to reboot.
Here are the options that are on the screen.
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
Please help, this phone is for my son and he's pretty sad right now not able to use it.
Thanks much!
Edit: If I remember correctly, I probably installed CM Rom on this phone when I first got it.
Anyone?

No, Sir. Your post was the pointless one. The forums become cluttered due to people like yourself who do not make any meaningful effort to search and read through the forums to solve problems that have already been discussed previously. If your search function skills lack the sophistication to locate the link @Kramar111 provided, then I submit you should refrain from making such large modifications to your devices, such as flashing CM11. While yes my posting was sarcastic, it's intent was to shine a humorous light on the fact that the forums are here to share knowledge, not constantly rehash it.

Thanks for this guide guys, I followed the instructions and sideloaded the latest Amazon Fire OS 4.6.6 several times and the phone shows "update completed" but I keep rebooting to the Fire Recovery bootup screen.
