yeah when you restore to stock it wipes out fff and twrp and your root so use kfu to install twrp and fff again no need to root if your gonna flash a rom just make sure you allow installation from unknown sources under device once you can access twrp make a backup that you will later rename noroot631 then flash to you liking

It says on KFU ADB Statusnline Boot Status: Unknown, and when i try to install twrp it doesnt do anything And when i try to reset it to factory it says failed to mount /cache(no such file directory) At the end.

Keep working with your drivers It says online

What????

He means, make sure your drivers are installed correctly. You can check out tutorials and stuff on YouTube.

My kindle fire doesnt even boot up to the home screen. It says "Your Kindle has detected a problem and must clear App storage. The recovery process will erase applications and data from your debice. Apps from the appstore are stored in the cloud and can be reinstalled later. This will reset your kindit to its orgional factory settings. You will need to re-register your Kindle prior to downloading items from you Amazon account. Please press the power button to proceed." So when i press the power button it says reseting then is said "failed to mount /cache."

It doesn't reset back to factory. WHy is that??

any ideas?

Bump...

Cause you messed up your partitions using parted and then flashed stock who knows what you broke if I had to guess I bet something isn't mounting like your cache or SD card

Urgent help needed! Stuck in TWRP 2.2 while using kindle fire utility

Hey guys, trying to root this kindle for my friend. Ive two so far. I dunno what happened but I'm stuck in TWRP. I was using kindle fire utility 0.9.6 did option 2 to install super user, then went to option 3 and it froze up so I powered on and off, now the fire is booting into this TWRP and I have no idea how to install the hellfile rom that I want. the ROM is not on the sd card and I can't get it to mount so I can view it on my computer when plugged in.
i need help!!!
UPDATE*
I just ran # 4 while rebooting and it seemed to install CWR..now I'm back to what appears to be stock kindle software. wtfff is going on

you definately do not want cwmr...

Did the ROM maybe go to a download folder? Once you get into twrp do a backup first thing then factory wipe, wipe(not format) cache and dalvik. Then hit install and browse the files/folders until you find your ROM and install. Reboot system. And yeah...dump cwm.
And you should really try installing su thru the recovery and try your hand at adb..

[Q] Can't mount USB Mass Storage onto my PC as ICS has crashed on my Kindle Fire

I rooted my Kindle Fire using KFU 0.9.5 and flashed a custom ROM. It worked fine for a few days and then just crashed -- The options bar located on the bottom disappeared and the error message was: System UI has crashed. (I have attached two pictures for better clarity)
Also, whenever I boot up, there is no yellow flame that appears, it goes to the moving colourful discs straight on.
I tried using terminal emulator and entered many codes in some hope of mounting USB Mass Storage so that I can use KFU and restore my Kindle, but in vain.
I have tried EVERYTHING. I've been at this for 6 days now and am at wits end. :crying: I have read up close to a 100 articles; this was my last resort.
I just want to get the Kindle's stock OS back - no root, nothing.
And the only was is, I suppose, if I am able to mount my Kindle as USB Mass Storage onto my computer.
ANY help is appreciated!

As it now runs on ICS, there is no Gingerbread for Kindle anymore on it. I can't wipe it clean from the device or atleast I don't know how to, please help?

All the wipes you should need to perform can be done in twrp recovery. Wipe factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik and wipe the system. Reflash ROM , reflash gapps , reboot then system if prompted and you should be good to go.
Edit: failing to use the correct method to return to stock will just cause more problems. Rather than trying to go back to pure stock without fff and twrp I suggest you perform the above wipes and flash this instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 its just modified stock with Google play and it will not wipe out your recovery and bootloader.

Okay, I will flash what you suggested but that's the problem. I am unable to access TWRP recovery from my Kindle. When it boots up there is no yellow flame that appears as the custom ROM is ICS 4.0.
I tried mounting a twrp.img on to the SD Card after downloading one straight onto the tab but of no avail :/
What do you suggest? Is there any way I can get the TWRP Recovery to come up so that I can get the modified stock that you suggested?
Thanks for your help, regardless

I know you said you read "close to a 100 articles" in your OP, but I suggest you do a little more reading. Get yourself acquainted with the key software components of the Kindle Fire and how they work together. Some of the things you say in your posts suggest you would benefit from the first post here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
- The yellow flame you are looking for is an older version of the FireFireFire (FFF) bootloader, but there is a newer/better version.
- The KF cannot go to "the moving colorful discs straight on" because the first thing you will see is the bootloader's bootlogo.
- You must determine what bootloader is currently installed on the device because it is key in determining how you can get into recovery (TWRP).
- "Mounting" sdcard means to make the storage space available to either the host computer or the Kindle Fire, but it almost always means the former. Your comment about having "tried mounting a twrp.img on to the SD Card" doesn't make sense.
My guess is you do not have FFF installed and the device is booting with the stock bootloader. Odds are you will still be able to boot into your current ICS system and execute an adb command to set the bootmode to recovery (5001). Then a reboot should take you into TWRP. At that point, you should try to mount the sdcard partition onto your computer and transfer the latest FFF and whatever ROM you want to flash. Be sure to install FFF as soon as possible. This will allow you to get back into TWRP even if your system software becomes unbootable. Only when you are comfortable with FFF and TWRP should you consider flashing another ROM onto the device.
In broad strokes, the above paragraph contains the steps you will take to get your device running properly again. If any part of it doesn't make much sense to you, I suggest you read the above article again. Then, you can figure out the specifics commands from the third post of the link above and the following...

[Q] need help restoring kindle to stock

I seem to have tried to wipe everything on my kindle fire first generation trying to restore as my backup of the stock rom has been deleted. It was also not currently on any rom and i can not get it to boot up it just stays in the twrp boot screen instead of transitioning to the normal orange and white one. I can however still boot into recovery just not to the rom itself being that there is none. The mount option does not work as it will not come up visibly on the computer or under the hardware/device manager. So all in all i have no way to connect my kindle to install the stock rom back again. Please help as fast as possible. I have checked many other threads to no avail and this is were im at stuck with a dead kindle.

Go into mounts inside TWRP and mount sdcard. Once sdcard is mounted you will be able to see it on your computer when a USB cable is connected. Place a different rom onto the sdcard and unmount sdcard. Wipe data (factory reset) and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Go to install and install the new rom you placed onto the sdcard. You should be all set, it should boot now.
If it doesn't, you may be stuck in fastboot. To get out of fastboot, connect to the computer and run KFU and select number 1.

Kindle Fire rebooting - trying to go back to stock with TWRP

My Kindle fire kept shutting down and rebooting so I am trying to erase and go back to stock with the latest Kindle Fire update.
I have TWRP v2.5.0.0 installed and downloaded the kindle fire update from the Amazon website:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620
I renamed the file to update.zip and placed on the kindle fire via USB port. I get "error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/update.zip' . I made sure there were no hidden extensions on the update.zip when I renamed the Amazon update bin file.
what should I try next? I did a 'factor reset' from TWRP and it will no longer boot into the Kindle OS (which is fine as it rebooting all the time automatically anyways). However, I can not flash the Amazon rom to get working again.
Can anyone please help? I have spent many hours with no success so far.
Thank you

Let me understand this it loads to the system momentarily then crashes and reboots or never makes it to system boot?
If it makes it to system boot race the device as fast as you can to factory reset and reset it if it never boots to system for even 20 seconds or so you need a factory cable http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693 post #9. in order to install TWRP and fff again .
Once in recovery you will do a factory reset and wipe everything except your sdcard prior to flashing stock. At that point you are better off flashing prerooted stock there is a new 6.3.3 available.

I can no longer boot to the Amazon Kindle OS because I used 'factory reset' in TWRP 2.5 which appears to have erased it. If there is a way to restore from this point please let me know.
I can still boot fine to TWRP so I should be able to work with it still, correct? I installed the Android SDK and use 'adb devices' which says:
Lists of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF recovery
If TWRP would use my bin file that I changed to update.zip then I think I could reinstall the factory image with no problem.
What other things can I try?
Thanks!

Since adb works use adb to push another Rom to the device. Look at general section kinfaun's Kindle Fire for beginners and how to flash a ROM if not in awhile I will help you push one to the device.

you need TWRP 2.2.2.1 or lower to install an unmodified Stock update.zip
but you can install my [2014][Pre-Rooted][Stock]System Version 6.3.3-Original Kindle Fire Only
just download to pc> connect kindle to pc>
in TWRP select mount>check sd card>select mount usb
copy preroot.6.3.3.zip to sd card folder
unmount sd card>select install

When you go to mount make sure system and Data have no checks in the box either.

Holy crap that worked!!! Very easy!!
Thank you very much!!

I did a factory reset too, as I was interested in going back to stock. Now mine won't boot to Kindle OS, just to TWRP. I tried the 6.3.3 pre-rooted and Modaco, but it still won't boot. Seems like a similar issue but I can't figure it out. I appreciate any help!
