Ok, I am a nervous wreak! My 13 year old son borrowed my Kindle Fire and without my knowing, tried to root it. When I got it back and attempted to power it on, the yellow triangle with the fire symbol appeared. After waiting a few seconds, a black and gray screen with TWRP v2.0.0 appears.
He says that after he attempted the root and was unable to install the android market, he tried to do a restore under "device".
The Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) screen that appears on the device has several options that I can choose from, including: Install, Backup, Restore, Wipe, Mount, Settings, Advanced, and Reboot. I am not familiar with what information you would need to help me get my device to boot back up.
If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much in advance!

Don't panic... Start reading here...

Familiarize yourself with the terminology so you know what steps you need to take. You'll eventually have to try resetting the bootmode to normal and restart the device. However, your OS may have been corrupted and you might not be able to boot back in to it. There's still no need to panic. You'll be able to get it working again. Just relax and follow along with the 1st post above. Look at the second post and just verify that your drivers are working right. Then you can try setting the bootmode back.

Hey when this is all over, try to go easy on the kid. His adolescent brain is too underdeveloped to fully comprehend the consequences of his actions.

Oh my gosh, I am so ready to cry!!! All the information that I have read has really just confused me more. I asked my son what exactly he did and he told me he watched a video on youtube that required him to download the Kindle Fire Utility and install the drivers and root. He wasn't sure how to unroot it before he went into the device itself and "restore". I'm not sure if doing this caused the device to change the way it boots during restart, but I am at a lose. I am not familiar with how all this electronic software works and as sad as it may sound, I'm ready to just take away his allowance and just buy a new device.

OK... you and your son sit down together and do the following...
1) Hook up your Kindle Fire to the computer and turn it on... let it boot to TWRP
2) Open the Kindle Fire Utility with the "run" file in the Kindle Fire Utility folder.
3) Near the bottom, it should say "ADB Status: Online"
4) Press the "1" key and hit ENTER
5) At the next menu, press the "1" key and hit ENTER
6) Wait and see if it will reboot
7) If it does not reboot on its own or it says "<waiting for device>" then press and hold the power button for 20-30 seconds until the device shuts off. Then press the power button again to turn it back on.
Hopefully, this will get the Kindle Fire to boot up again normally. Once you do that, you are going to have to try and reinstall the stock software (what your Kindle Fire came equipped with when you bought it), but that's probably letting the cart get ahead of the horse at the moment.
Let's see how the above works out first.
At step 3, the ADB Status says "Offline"
After trying to reboot normally, it sticks at <waiting for device>

Just go ahead and do what I said anyway... when it tells you "<waiting for device>" restart it using the button in TWRP or the power button like I indicated before.
Yes, I actually restarted the device and the Kindle Fire splash screen came up just as you posted the response. Will this remove the root from the device?
You have been so very patient with me. You are WONDERFUL!!!!!

All you've managed to do so far was to get the device to boot normally.
My guess is that your son never got far enough to actually root the device. However, he did get it to install a new bootloader (the part with the yellow triangle that comes up when you restart it) and a new recovery (TWRP). Right now, these things are harmless and you can leave it alone for the time being.
My suggestion to you would be to just keep using it as you would normally for now. If you can't get some of Amazon services to work or you have problems with it, come back and post another question about getting it back to stock. When the next Kindle Fire update comes along from Amazon, it will reinstall everything back to stock anyway (I'm mostly certain about this, but someone will correct me if I'm wrong).
And I agree with soupmagnet... don't be so hard on the kid about his little experiment.... no harm, no foul.
I've noticed now that I am unable to view any of the files on my device after connecting it to my PC. Is there any way to correct this or would it be too much of headache for me to attempt?
Thanks again for all the help you have given.
Oh, and I didn't harm my child, but he does know that he is not allowed to play around with my electronic devices anymore.

Something might have happened to your /sdcard (your storage space on the Kindle Fire) when your son was playing around with it. If you aren't too concerned about what's on there, you can just try formatting or erasing the contents of it. When you hook it up to your Windows machine, it might ask if you want to format it. In that case, it's very likely that you wouldn't be able to recover it even if you wanted, so I would just go ahead and format it. Another way to do this would be to reset the device to factory defaults. You would lose all installed apps, books, etc. and have to re-enter all your network and Amazon information afterwards, but the process will bring the /sdcard on the Kindle Fire to roughly the same as it was when you got it. You can find it in settings -> devices -> reset to factory defaults (this is from memory, so the wording might be slightly different). It all really depends on what you are willing to lose on the device. If you don't care... just erase it and start over.
Ok, i tried to reset the device to factory settings, but when it rebooted, it brought up the TWRP menu again. Any idea what else I can try?
I sent you a private message so you can get in touch with me for some live help if you need it.

If you haven't gotten things working yet...
If you are in TWRP, try the WIPE -> SD Card option to get your storage space reformatted. You can then use the MOUNT button in TWRP and it should show up on your Windows desktop again.
Then to get rid of TWRP altogether, you can download the software update from Amazon...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_k6_updatesi?nodeId=200790620
Rather than follow the instructions on that page, rename the downloaded file to "update.zip" (without the quotes). You'll get a warning about file extensions... it's OK to change the name anyway. The file icon will change to a zippered folder after this. Copy the update.zip file over to your Kindle Fire.
Back in TWRP, hit the INSTALL button. Over in the right panel, you should see the update.zip file you transferred to the Kindle Fire. Touch that file name and you'll be able to continue installing that file onto your Kindle Fire. When it's done, you can reboot from the home menu.
It will take a few minutes for it to boot up for the first time, but when it's done, you should have a fresh, completely stock sytem and you'll be rid of TWRP.
This is an update to let you know that my Kindle is now back in perfect condition. Kinfauns, thank you so much for all the information and the attempts to help me fix this problem. Unfortunately, I needed more indepth help and wasn't able to correct my issues with the steps given.
Soupmagnet: Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart for the many hours of trial and error that you spent helping me repair my device. Your patience with me was beyond belief and I will never be able to thank you enough!
You are totally AWESOME!!!!!
Please help.
I am also stuck on the TWRP screen.
When I:
1) Hook up my Kindle Fire to the computer and turn it on...let it boot to TWRP
2) Open the Kindle Fire Utility with the "run" file in the KFU folder
3) It registers "ADB Status: Online"
4) When I hit "1" for Normal it states:
"The system cannot find the drive specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.

What is the drive specified it is referring to?

I *guess* it refers to the external Sd Card, since I got the same error.
In your case, since Adb status is online then just open a Terminal Emulator (cmd.exe in case of Windows) and change directoy to the tools folder inside Kfu, and run the command
adb shell idme bootmode 4000

Same Issue except I want to finish rooting it
I'm running Kindle Fire 6.3.1
I ran Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6 and hit option 2, install permanent root with superuser.
The process went smoothly until i ran into this
/sbin/sh;idme:not found 808 kb/s (22364 bytes in 0.027s)
attempt to remove root check
please wait..
and it got stuck there (no screenshots...sorry)
At that time, my KF had rebooted with blue fire, then it loaded TWRP v2.20
Apparently the instructions I initially followed was for KFU v0.9.4 and I've been searching for 2 hours on what the next steps are.
I restarted my laptop (Sony VAIO VPCEA46F) and my KF through TWRP 'reboot' --->'power off'
I plugged in my KF and ran KFU now it says
ADB Status: Online
Boot Status: Unkown
And now I am stuck in TWRP Recovery with my thumb up my ass..
I know, I know... I'm a fool for not checking things before starting this process. I appreciate any help and I'll accept any and all insults.
Thanks!

Thanks, that helped. Ultimately my KF is rooted.
I rooted (or at least I thought I did) and checked in a root file browser to see if I could change files. No luck. So I tried rerooting. Now my Kindle Fire is bricked and stuck at the boot logo. I also accidentaly uninstalled the Android ADB drivers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you try the 20 second hold
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
if you find something I posted helpful please thank me
If you used KFU, then you might be in luck. Hold you power button down for like 10-30 seconds. That should turn it off. Then, if you see a yellow triangle or a kindle fire symbol hold down the power button. If it is a yellow triangle hold down until the power button turns orange. If it is kindle fire with "fire" in blue hold down the power button until you enter boot mood menu. Next, select recovery (if it is Fire in Blue). If it was a yellow triangle then you would be in recovery after my second step. If you make it to recovery, select wipe, then select factory reset, After that is done reboot system. You should then be unbricked.
If you do not see the triangle or the "fire" in blue. Then you may have a problem. If this happens, go into KFU and install adb drivers. Then, plug in your KF(kindle fire should just be booted up how you normally would) and restart KFU. If it says adb status online, go into boot mode. And go into recovery. This will also get you into the recovery. If this works follow my previous steps about doing a factory reset.
Let me know if this worked.

Alright, so take it you did not root with KFU. The only idea that comes to mind is, (asuming that you are on a Mac) run a virtual device of windows 7 or vista on you Mac. Use KFU to install drivers, and boot up you KF. Re-open KFU and see if says adb online. If so, attempt to flash twrp using FKU. This will bring you right into the recovery. The recovery might not even stick but you only need to get into it once.

You welcome, Glad I could help.
Dear all,
Please be patient with me on this.
I have tried using Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6 to run Option 2 (Install Permanent Root with Superuser)
After installing for a short while, my KF was on TWRP boot screen.
[/LIST]So I thought it was done without checking the DOS Command I disconnected the device and reconnected and tried to mount and wipe factory reset and stuff to install a new ROM
(As I was composing this, I recall that there was that has something to do with Root Checker Please Wait ... )
[/LIST]Right now, no matter what how many times I wipe or clear, whenever I install a ROM, my boot screen will be the blue KF logo and it will automatically boot into TWRP.
I was wondering if someone please lend me a helping hand in resolving this issue.
Regards
MrKD

You need to forget about KFU and use FFF1.4 (blue Kindle Fire logo) for what it was designed. Hold the power button until "Reset bootmode" is hi-lighted at the bottom of the screen and release. Just don't hold it too long or you will shut it off.

Hi SoupMagnet,
I realized what was the problem: Whenever I see the blue KF logo, the next thing it does is to boot to TWRP
So after you have enlightened me, I have managed to boot into the ACTUAL ROM instead of the TWRP interface.
That was because it was set to default boot into Recovery (For some reason)
I never realized that only such small move can fix my nightmare (Literally I could not stop worrying before I went to bed last night.
Kudos to you, you deserve my most heartfelt thanks.
SO recently i tried to root my kindle using one of the guides unfortunately i somehow messed up during it or something, but the problem i have now is whenever i turn my kindle on it has the yellow triangle with a fire logo in it and at the bottom it says "press power button for recovery". Simple enough only the second problem is i do not have TWRP or anything like that so pressing the power button literally does nothing. Unfortunately as well when i plug it into the USB it will identify that something is connected but it won't install it to the pc because it cant find some hardware or something. So i cant get it to start up or connect it to the pc and am desperately looking for a solution. Thanks to anyone who can help.
First off. Do you have a first gen kindle fire?
6.3.x or 10.x.x?
If you have a first gen,
Download this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192818
Choose bootmode menu, and choose fastboot.
Hold down the power button for 10-20 seconds till it turns off.
Connect your kindle to your computer.
Does KFU find the device? If so, good. You will be taken to the main screen at that point I think.
Choose to install recovery (TWRP).
That should be it. Post here if there's any problems.

Attached is a picture of what my kindle screen looks like. I tried resetting it, plugging it into the computer, etc. but this screen never changes. Also on my pc it doesn't recognize it as a kindle, it recognizes it as an unknown device. So I can't put any files onto my kindle at the moment because my PC keeps telling my me driver is not working or something. I attached files showing what my pc says as well. Also I apologize for the bad quality of the pictures i don't own a very nice camera at all so I apologize in advanced for that. The last 3 are readable the 1st one is basically just a yellow triangle with a fire symbol in the middle and it says "press power button for recovery" but nothing happens when i press the power button, and the 2 photo is a little bit blurry but all it says is:
Unknown Device
Device Type: Universal Serial Bus controllers
Manufacturers: (Standard USB Host Controller)
Location: Port_#0009.Hub_#0002
Device Status:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
The "press power button for recovery" can be confusing if you don't know what's going on. That version of FireFireFire sits in fastboot mode for...I think...8 seconds before it will recognize the power button. You can repeatedly press the power button until the LED turns orange to see if that gets you into recovery. If not, you're probably looking at something like usbboot to replace your bootloader. You need to replace your bootloader anyway, but hopefully you'll be able to flash a new one in recovery instead.

Repeatedly pressed the power button for about 30 seconds with the same result, green light still, and no screen change. So it looks like its this usbboot, how would i go about doing this in order to replace my bootloader?

Since you will need Linux anyway, you might as well download and install SoupKit. It comes with Firekit and will probably make your life easier in the long run.
What guide did you use exactly? I can see if we can update that guide to use the latest FFF because that is a very old alpha version that has had many issues with the yellow triangle in the past. I'm surprised its still floating around here.

Stuck at boot logo
Hey all,
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post but I didn't want to make a new topic and this seems to be in the area of what is wrong with my kindle... I tried the new KFU v0.9.9 on my first gen KF running 6.3.2. I have rooted it before (not on 6.3.2), but unrooted and restored to factory settings because I thought I was going to sell it. However, the plans fell through and I am keeping it so I wanted to re-root and all that jazz....
My question is, how do I get it boot past the boot logo? I used the KFU, but firstly when it prompts it says:
'findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
So none of the commands pop up, however they are still there... For example, i followed:
"Choose bootmode menu, and choose fastboot.
Hold down the power button for 10-20 seconds till it turns off.
Connect your kindle to your computer."
And I can get to fastboot, but it says there is no device connected to my computer. If you need more details on the problem I'll be glad to give them to you. Hopefully someone checks this thread again
Thanks
What version of Windows do you have that doesn't have 'findstr'?
What do you see in your device manager while the device is plugged in?

I am having a similar issue like yours. Yesterday I tried downloading Jellybean onto my Kindle. I did all of the precautions, TWRP, KFU, etc.
And right as I thought I was done, boom, I get stuck in an infinite re boot. Every time it finally boots up it says android.process.phone for not even a full second and immediately reboots. I am not the smartest, but if someone could walk us through a way to restore our kindles or fix the problem. I would be most gracious! I am not sure what the ADB is as well. Is that what I am missing?

I downloaded the sdk and i can now use adb. But, my problem now is that i cannot copy the fbmode to my kindle via adb. When i push it to a location, it says that my kindle is read only. So without the fbmode, i cannot boot into fastboot, cannot install fff and twrp and no os again. what should i do now?

I am having a similar issue like yours. Yesterday I tried downloading Jellybean onto my Kindle. I did all of the precautions, TWRP, KFU, etc.
And right as I thought I was done, boom, I get stuck in an infinite re boot. Every time it finally boots up it says android.process.phone for not even a full second and immediately reboots. I am not the smartest, but if someone could walk us through a way to restore our kindles or fix the problem. I would be most gracious! I am not sure what the ADB is as well. Is that what I am missing?

Well your problem is nowhere near the same as June's, but I'll go ahead and try to help your anyway. I've had this happen to me once or twice. My suggestion is to redownload your rom and gapps, and then try flagging them again. Hopefully that should work. There is an option in TWRP to mount your kindle on your computer.

So far.
Guys, sorry I might not have explained the issue in enough detail. Although the information is full of things that are helpful. It didn't quite help me.
Sorry about having to deal with a compete noob here...
---I'll list my issues to isolate confusion.---
-I cannot boot ADB, I click on it, a cmd window pops up and then immediately closes each time I proceed to open it. for a start, if someone could perhaps tell me what I am doing wrong, because I know I must not be doing what all of you pros are doing.
-Although I had TWRP installed on both my pc and kindle. Whenever I boot up my kindle, I do not get the blue and gray "Kindle Fire" logo before the Orange and White logo. So that for me was very frustrating.
-The Kindle Fire Utility is not detecting my device at all. Which is worrying me to death, the Kindle Fire Unbrick utlity is not working either which is killing me inside.
-For a detailed description of what my kindle fire does when I press the power button goes as so: I press the power button, the orange and white Kindle Fire logo pops up for a few seconds like normal, then it proceeds to boot or "Attenpt" to boot the Jellybean OS, after waiting 5 minutes, the OS lock screen pops up with "android.phone.com" or "phone.android.com" pops up, for a second, then it proceeds to fully rebooting the OS for another 5 minutes. It does it indefinitely.
So does this mean my kindle is officially done for? Bricked? Or is there still hope for me. This is really depressing, I spent most of my money on this, money is tight for me right now ant I use my kindle for school and research. It is a vital tool to me. I need all the help I can get.
Thanks for all of the help so far. You guys really know what you are doing, thanks!

Hey Phil. Doesn't look like you've posted anything else, so you probably won't see this. But oh well... Sorry your problem got left in the dust. I didn't mean for that to happen. You need to shift + right click in the folder with adb.exe and click "open command window here" and then you can do your things. As far as everything else: does your computer do anything when you plug your kindle into it?
I accidentally did this once (at least I think it's the same) and what I did was I went into ADB and side loaded a custom ROM I used CM
