My Kindle is pissing me off.
I tried to unroot it by downloading the update onto my kindle fire.
I renamed it as update zip and flashed it.
IT worked until popups said force close calendar storage and force close android.process.acore.
Then it shuts itself off and reboots.
So I deleted everything in the kindle drive from my computer.

Are you able to connect to your device using adb or fastboot? if so your best course of action would be to enter fastboot if possible and then reflash twrp and fff. when you have done this go to twrp and do a factory reset/wipe data and then wipe cache and dalvik and then try update.zip again

this is a problem that i experienced..it has only one solution..u have to be very very quick..quicker than ur kindle fire is..skip kindle registration and allow to force restart..coz u dont grt enough time to do everything mentioned below..very quickly navigate to more(by tapping top right settings icon)as soon as u unlock the screen and quickly go to device and then select factory reset from device settings..u should complete whole of this process of navigation and selection before ur kindle fire shuts down..once u factory reset from your kindle fire stock ui(and not from recovery software that u install) the force close of different processes stop..
ultimately u have to factory reset IN AND FROM STOCK ROM before..it will take atlest 3 to 4 attempts to do this..8th or 9th attempt succeeded for me when i tried this for the first time..u ll lose ur sd data..make sure u make a backup..
hit thanks if this works

That means when u flash that update.zip, it would install stock bootloader and recovery softwares in places of fff and TWRP..this will be the case if anyone tries to flash latest stock rom without wiping data in TWRP..what i meant was u will not have twrp installed after flashing that update.zip so go to settings by tapping icon on right top corner and goto more>>device>>reset to factory default..
u should also note that u should be so quick that u have to give it some time after u start factory reset..so that kindle fire finishes deregistering itself and doing other stuff before those 2 or 3 processes force restart kindle fire..

Yes you should probably flash something. That's why you always make a backup

made a backup and it erased that too. just tried cm7 with no success. will keep trying.
Ok, This happened to me on my DHD, Try to fastboot a recovery and flash it. Use the one doomlord made then Flash. BUT before you do that make sure to have the update on your sdcard.
every zip i tried says installed then when u reboot system it goes directly back twrp

I followed these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20438599&postcount=1 I've never tried it with a pre-rooted ROM, so YMMV. Like I said I flashed this and started the root process over from scratch and this is what worked.

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.
Again, if you don't understand why, go back a few posts and read again.

Hi guys, this is my first time to flash my Kindle. I rooted my KF using KFU V0.9.6 and installed TWRP 2.3.1.1.
I have may OS backup in TWRP. I flash AOKP Milestone 6 and it keeps rebooting. So i tried other roms. I flashed gederom, jandcane and cm10/sg7 but all of them are stuck in bootanimation. This was my guide in flashing my KF, techhive.com/article/258452/how_to_install_ice_cream_sandwich_on_your_kindle_fire.html,
I followed all the instructions there. Guys help, what do i miss? I can still recover my stock KF OS. TIA
Here is a link to Amazon's website for the official stock software to flash on the Kindle if you want it back to being just like you took it out of the box brand new. You'll have to re-root it if you flash this stock software. Hope it helps http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620#download
Thanks guitarman. I can restore the stock os.But I still want to flash.

Sorry for the noob question but how do i donwgrade 2.3.1.1 to 2.2.2.1. Thanks.
In settings check the box that says " use rm -rf instead of formatting" perform a full wipe minus your external storage and try and flash a rom again.

it loops the roms logo. i think it was a bad flash so the rom won't boot.

Yes, you need a factory cable to get into fastboot so you can wipe data, or access custom recovery so you can reflash your ROM.

That'd be a neat little trick considering you can't factory reset with ADB (at least not that I've seen). You can wipe cache and data with fastboot, but that doesn't really do anything about the touchscreen problem or the fact that the OP wants to install the stock ROM so it can be sent back for replacement.
With that being said, if someone around here is kind enough, OP, you may be able to get a saved stock system.img to flash in fastboot along with stock versions of the bootloader and recovery. After which, a few simple ADB commands will remove superuser.apk and 'su' so it can be sent back for replacement, if you can't resolve the problem on your own.
