I really, REALLY have tried going through the threads and tried to figure this out on my own but I'm just stuck. A while back I got stuck in the boot loop (I guess). It was after a few factory resets. It had been rooted. Now, I can get into twrp but once there I can't seem to find any of the files that I need to flash to get it going again. When I launch the KFU it says the device is "online" and device manager reads "Android Composite ADB Interface". I'm sorry if this isn't enough info but can someone give me a push in the right direction? :silly:
Still vague bro but hey you have twrp do you have fff? If you have those things select mount in twrp transfer ROM zip and a gapps zip to your sdcard but don't place them inside a folder... leave them in the open this is considered the root of your sdcard then select unmount go to install see if you can navigate to the files you put on the kindle if so select wipe, wipe factory reset, wipe cache wipe dalvik, wipe system, select install tap on the ROM zip flash it when done use the back button upper right... flash gapps then select reboot and system if prompted let it boot.. I suggest this ROM or a cm7 flavored variety.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778010
fff is the kindle logo with the blue (fire) lettering, right? v1.4a in the upper right corner. Let's me go into normal, recovery and reset boot mode? The only option that let's me make any progress is the recovery option and that loads me into twrp. The "mount" option in twrp gives me 4 choices, mount system, mount data, unmount cache, and unmount sdCard. Mount system and mount data are unchecked. And if I click the "mount usb storage" button it takes me to a screen that says "USB Storage Mounted -- Be sure to safely remove your device from your computer before unmounting!" and there's an "unmount" button underneath. That's all I'm seeing. I'm not trying to be vague. I just don't know what specifically is the relevant info to give. But thanks for helping out those who can't help themselves
Ok plug to your computer select mount make sure there are no checks in the boxes of data and system then hit the big button this will mount your sdcard transfer zips select unmount follow my instructions above...
hey man, it worked!:victory: But I'm sure you knew it would. So, is it a bad idea or is it even possible at this point to revert to the factory reset? You know, have it be totally stock? And is it just tricky or dangerous to do factory resets a few times? I like using just the stock kindle version. The kindle app is just a little funky. Or it was the last time I used it. But obviously I love the google suite. I hadn't made a back-up the last time because it was just as easy to download a few of the things at a time from the cloud. So, making a back up would be a good habit and help in a situation like this? Do you know of any good threads re: backups? And superuser is something I don't know anything about but how does it work and where should I learn more about that? Mega MEGA thanks again dude! :highfive:
Yeah if you want the best of both worlds go with rooted stock all the wipes I suggested after backing up first then flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 the standard version not the altrom thats for dualboot your miles from that
What's the process to get to rooted stock? I just made a back up

its nothing but rooted stock with playstore and it wont wipe out your recovery and fff in the process
when installing the modaco custom rom, what boxes do I want to have checked? Zip file sig is checked by default and Force MD5 check on all zips is unchecked. Good?

thanks again for all your help thePooch. I've tried installing the rom a couple of times and it either freezes or I've got the following message.

do I need to just stay with the cm10 rom at this point? what other kind of fun stuff can I do to get this working:fingers-crossed:
I believe Thepooch told you earlier NOT to download the altrom. Check your download and try again.
no doubt. Funny how this stuff works the way that it's supposed to

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...

WOW! Okay, thank you so much; I'll keep you updated. I'll do all this tonight! Cheers :good:
Hi everyone, First let me say I am not tech savvy but I will try my best to explain whats wrong with my kindle fire. I just got a kf yesterday and today I broke it. I downloaded [Root][TWRP][FFF][CWM]Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6 and it went fine but a little while after I booted to the screen twrp recovery screen and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to wipe )cache,dalvik cache,factory reset,system,and external storage) I thought this would just free up space on my kf but when I tried to boot it after I did this it went to the boot screen with the word (Fire) in blue then the screen goes black and the same screen is ther with the word (Fire) in blue. After that the regular boot screen poops up with the word (Fire) in orange and this is where the kf gets stuck and wont do anything. When I try to rerun the kindle fire utility it cant find my device but it could find it before I wiped everything.
I don't know what to do. I can get back to the twrp recovery and that's it.There are things I can click on but I don't know what they mean and what to do. The things I can click on are (install,backup,restore,wipe,mount,settings,advanced,reboot).
I don't know if it matters but i am using windows vista
Thank yous for any help I will really appreciate it as I don't have really any money and saved to get this kf and was so happy to have it but now feel so dumb and very sad for breaking it and I am sorry if this question has been answered before or if I didn't explain it very well.
Connect your kindle to your pc, enter recovery, select mount there should be checks in the boxes of sdcard and cache, hit the big mount button hopefully you should see whats left of your sdcard contents on your computer screen. Drag and drop this rom zip into that window http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 not that altrom that is for dual booting. When finished select unmount, unplug your Kindle wipe everything except your external storage/ sdcard, select install and tap on the rom zip you just transferred, swipe to flash. When it`s done select reboot system. Initial boot will take a bit be patient. Good luck.

No checks needed just wipe and flash drop the zip in the window don't place it in any of the folders just out in the open. Its very good that your sdcard will mount if it didn't you would have big problems I don't forsee you having any trouble getting it going. Flash the ROM in zip form do not extract it.

Generally that can be cause by two main things a broken system or altered bootmode. Which twrp are you using, how and what order are you wiping, after you flash a rom what are you selecting as a reboot option, system, recovery or bootloader and lastly what rom are you flashing? Another reason other than the two main ones is some kind of mounting problem.

Alright, try to pay attention...
If you installed FireFireFire1.4 (blue & white Kindle Fire logo) as you were instructed to previously, you can use the boot menu to reset your bootmode to normal (more information can be found in the FFF1.4 thread btw). Just hold the power button at startup until the boot menu appears, and select "reset boot mode".
Otherwise, you need to use either adb or fastboot to manually change your bootmode to 4000.
Hi guys,
I've been running custom AOKP rom and decided to return back to stock.
I have the rogers version of the M8, and intended to flash a stock TWRP backup of someone's rogers save.
I made the poor decision of relocking and unlocking the bootloader again, leaving me without a functional OS and with only fastboot and TWRP recovery available to me. As a result, I can't get the rogers backup folder onto my phone ( I don't have a miscro SD), and the only other option I see is to manually push each file in the stock TWRP recovery with ADB to my phone, but I'm horrible with anything that involves command lines.
Any suggestions to get me out of this situation would be great. My end goal is to get the stock ROM / kernel running so I can get OTA's.
Edit: Solved by doing an advanced wipe and format in TWRP, and I flashed a stock Rogers nandroid
Just adb push or adb sideload a stock rooted ROM to your phone. Just a single command line.
If you want OTAs, you will also need stock recovery. But my recommendation is that OTAs have no place on a modded device.

I've tried flashing a ROM and unfortunately I get stuck on the boot animation.
Attempting to wipe my phone through TWRP before the zip install yields a failure:
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to mount internal storage
Those two lines are repeated a couple times in the error screen.
It looks like I need to flash some form of backup but am not sure which one will hard reset my phone to stock from this scenario.

Select "Mount" in TWRP main screen and make sure data is checked (cache should also e checked by default). If so, and still getting this error, di you by chance try to factory reset in bootloader (not TWRP)?

I flashed dirty unicorns 4.4.4. I had a 2gb SD card which managed to get it to the phone (the 2gb isn't enough to move the system backup).
I can't check Mount in the settings and it remains unchecked, and yes, I did hit the factory reset in the bootloader thinking that it would help me (I assume this was another bad decision).

Yes, that was a bad decision. But probably not one that you could have known about. Doing a factory reset in bootloader on a modded M8 corrupts the internal memory. This is your main problem right there.
If you have a Windows PC, connect the phone, go to Device Manager and find the phone. Then select the option to format the memory.
In the future only do a factory reset within the OS (in Settings) or in recovery, not in bootloader.
If you've gone through this much, I'd highly recommend getting comfy with a few command line commands. These may very well save you some time and additional headache (speaking from experience).
After recently running into issues with my newly purchased Roger's M8, I needed to restore to stock as well. Honestly, I followed these instructions to the T and it got me out scrape-free.
But, note Step #6 may require you to "adb push" your unzipped folder. And that's it.
Once you've ADB'd the massive nandroid backup, you should be out of the woods (in TWRP, Restore, Select the pushed backup file).
Good luck, and as long as you've got recovery/hboot looking back at you, you should be fine.

On Win7, go to Start Menu, use the search function at the bottom that says "Search programs and files" and type "Device Manager".
Or go to Start Menu>Control Panel>Hardware and Sound; and under "Devices and printers" you will see Device Manager.

Device manager does not provide a format option. Perhaps you mean disk manager? If I do format it will I have to somehow reinstall the android system?

I've often read it described as Device Manager. Can't personally say from experience as I've never actually had to do it myself, but seen this described on XDA quite a few times. If the option comes up in Disk Management, that should be fine, too.
Formatting internal storage should not affect the Android OS, as its a separate partition (note how Windows is only reading the internal storage as around 25 GB of the total 32 GB). But you have to re-install a ROM anyway, as you presently do not have one installed.
Hello to all. I have rooted and installed customs ROMs on various phones. I would put the zip on ex-sd card and wipe and reset everything and install from there. Mower this Sprint S6 does not have a ex-sd card. How do I Go About Installing. I have researched and saw an nice article using ADB. Is there any other way?
Blessings and Thank You In Advance
You can just download the rom to your phone, in twrp when you wipe make sure you dont wipe internal storage. Just wipe system, cache, dalvik and data. NOT internal. Then in twrp install the zip. Or you can download it and put it on a usb and if you have a otg adapter like mini usb on one side and usb on the other you can plug it into your phone and in twrp go to mount and mount the usb. Then in install go to the usb folder and it should be there. Or you could use flashfire
I got it. Had TWRP In and I installed in to internal card, trwp saw it. I did not know i could hook up the phone and computer would recognize. DUH!

I would download the latest supersu zip which i think is sr1 version 78. Easiest way i find it is google "supersu xda system" and first link should takeu to right thread. I do system mode but there will also be systemless to download. After download id make sure developer mode is on and oem unlock and usb debugging is on. Go to recovery. I go to mount and check system box. Then go to install and choose the su zip. Once done reboot. Check to see if it su is there and if renegade options are as well. They should be under the settings option in customization or somethint like that. If not i would go to recovery and mount system, then advanced wipe check dalvik, cache, system and data. Once done wiping id make sure system is still mounted as sometimes it unmounts after wiping, and then id install renegade again. If it has issues again id make sure your on the right firmware that the version of renegade your using is based on. If so id check md5 or just redownload renegade as it may have had errors from original download. To cut out any possible issues I would download directly on the phone that way no transferring is needed.

You can also try installing supersu directly from tbe playstore and seeing if that fixes it. It may say already installed and that case you need to unzip a su folder and inside it go to the common folder where youll find a supersu apk and install it. It should then show the supersu icon in app list. May prompt saying binaries need updated and if so after reboot it may disappear again as I recall this happening to me. If so, redo steps to get icon back, open su and cancel binary update, click ok on next prompt, go to settings on supersu and choose full unroot. It should auto reboot and you'll know its about to because alot of prompts start coming up about apps stopping, if so wait til screen is black and quickly hold vol up menu and power to go to recovery directly and then flash su. If it doesnt auto reboot just wait a sec to make sure isnt still unrooting and just reboot to recovery manualy and flash su
