I have a kindle fire that I let my brother use and while he was using it he somehow erased everything off of it. At first all I could do is go into the twrp, but I could not do anything else. After working with it for several hours I now have it to where I can flash different roms. I am wanting to take it back to the stock amazon rom so if someone could please help me out and email, or give a link for the amazon stock rom so i can revert it back. Thanks so much.

I have already installed Kindle Fire TWRP.

If you can boot into TWRP kfu will recognize it.. if not then you should mount it in TWRP...

hi prasket...
I am sorry if i sounded like i did not do any searching or research on resolving this issue..
In fact i have been searching on the webby for the whole day looking for the answers and found many.. but none were able to work for me... It may be due to my limited capabilities in understanding and therefore i am seeking for help in this forum...
I believe the purpose of this forum is to share and help out everyone in any way possible.... Its good that you have bought a KF for your finacee but i dun see any rationale in boasting here what you have achieved... not everyone is able to resolve everything just by doing some research like you.
I am just a sincere noob KF user who is looking for some help... Appreciate if i can have some constructive comments instead... thanks

My suggestion would be to take some time out to read over the first two posts in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
The first will help you get some basic understanding of how these pieces fit together. If you are using Windows, the second makes sure you have the device drivers installed correctly. Once you've done that, you'll want to set the bootmode on your device back to normal using KFU. Provided the Kindle Fire software is working correctly, you should be able to reboot and get it working normally again.

If you're still having trouble, try using zombiepiratez's unbrick utility

I had a similar problem and was able to fix it using the utility
I deleted the kernel in Kindle Fire is there anyway to re-install the kernel? The computer doesn't recognize it now either. Do I throw it in the garbage or is there a way to fix it.
Thanks, In advance.
please read the new user guide below and find out where and how to correctly find your answers, without needing to ask a single question.
all the information you are requesting exists.
Look in the Kindle Fire forum, lots of helpful into there. Good Luck
Hello, as the title states. Is there a way to have Amazon recognize my Kindle Fire as a Kindle instead of an Android Tablet? I need to download some textbooks online and they only can be read on the Kindle Fire native app or the Ipad Kindle app (stupid that it can't be read on the Android Kindle App). But I love my ICS, and really really don't want to have to go back to stock. So I was wondering if there was a way to trick Amazon that my ICS Kindle Fire is actually a Kindle.
There probably is a way to fix this by editing the build.prop? But I have no idea how.
Thank you so much!
I have a back up off the stock ROM and jellybean, so whenever I need to get my free book from the lending owners library, I just restore to stock, then get/read the bbook, and then go back to twrp and restore to jellybean!

As an alternative you could also dual boot the KF with both stock (modaco) and ICS/JB using the modified FFF bootloader which would allow you to quickly switch between stock and another ROM so you can have your cake and eat it too!

Can you please give more info I would love to try this but don't know where to start.
Oh wow! Thank you, I was able to dual-boot on the first try. Gederom and Modaco =D Hell yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.
Last poster, you can find dual-boot instructions in the KF Development threads.
hello.
I write this post because right now I'm desperate. my kinde fire was rooted and works great. I wanted to install an unofficial ROM and there came all problems.
first of all I want to say that I resort to this message because I've tried everything, but I did manage to save my device.
My Kindle was rooted and TWRP works well. I inadvertently left the device without an operating system. I forgot to put a rom after you wipe. After this, when the device booted, first came out the white and orange logo, then white and blue recovery and eventually returned to the first logo.
First I tried to recover it with the original firmware. I could not access the device via the file browser windows, so I copied the. zip with adb push. after several attempts I went to plan B, because I always got the same "error 7", so I tried to install the cyanogen rom, but I had the same fate.
After that, I was reading about fastboot, so I downloaded kindle fire utility. I think something went here even worse, because now TWRP gone.
I finally discovered unbrick kindle utility, but now my pc does not recognize the device. drivers are installed and kindle fire utility says "adb: online", but I can not access the device.
I searched a lot of information, but I think I am increasingly far from the solution, so I decided to write this post.
anyone can help me to recover the kindle? I'm desperate now. I'd like to have everything as before, I do not lose the root
thanks!!!

This forum is full of people doing the same thing. Why do people keep using tools that will brick their device, even though there are other posts saying it will happen.
Frustrating.

chronicfathead, the problem has no solution? is there any way to recover the bootloader?
Finally, I got in touch with Amazon. I explained my problem and they will send me a new one because it was under warranty.

Hi. I was just commenting that a lot of people are rushing into doing things without reading, or even checking what model they have. Admittedly Amazon hasn't made it easy by advertising it as the Kindle Fire 2. All the recent posts in this section of the forum are from people bricking their devices, mainly because they did something wrong.
I don't know how the situation can be changed, apart from building some checks into the KF1 rooting/modding tools.

Ok. I have already received my new kindle fire 2. I was lucky it was under warranty. Now I have to return the old and noticing more if I decide to put a new rom.
thanks anyway for your help
As the title says, I'm pretty noob when it comes to rooting and custom roms. I have a Kindle Fire Gen 1 that just ins't cutting it for me anymore. I'd like to use it as the screen for my DJI Phantom, but the DJI app is only available for Android and iOS. So, I needed to root this device and I'd like to turn it into a typical Android tablet. I followed SD Shadows tutorials across multiple threads to get to to where I am now; Rooted w/ TWRP installed (openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img). The last step I got to was what he covers in his video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJwF26qlAyc
In that video he warns that if someone is going to install a custom ROM, they need to make sure it is compatible w/ the TWRP used. My problem is, when I go to browse the various custom ROM options here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859851), I don't see where they describe the TWRP required for compatibility. I'm just wanting a simple ROM that is clean and efficient that (preferably) has Google's Play Store already installed and will let me use this device with the DJI Vision App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dji.vision&hl=en).
Can anyone spare a moment to help me out? I don't want to install an incompatible ROM and get myself in a bad situation. I'll provide whatever info I can to anyone willing to help me out here. Just remember that I am a noob, so you may need to explain what you need in simple, easy to understand terms. =D
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can lend.
I just noticed the sticky above for Gen 1 Kindle Fire questions. I posted this there. Please feel free to remove this thread if you don't want it to clutter up the place. My apologies.
