Bootloop with any ROM other than original KF ROM. - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my wifes Kindle Fire and verified I had root on original ROM. Installed FireFireFire and CWM.
Made a backup of ROM in CWM, did factory reset, formatted cache/dalvik cache and flashed "Jandycane" ROM with GApps. When KF got to boot animation; device would freeze and reboot. So I redownloaded ROM and GApps and tried once more; again stuck with bootloop.
Restoring backup of original ROM and all is good.
I've tried several other JB ROMS and same problem with all of them so I know I'm missing something....just cant figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

which clockwork mod upgrade with this to the newest or change to twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500935

Loading TWRP 2.2.0 seems to have resolved the problem.

HELP! Stuck in boot loop...

So I just flashed a new sense kernel for newt's Incredible 2 HD rom and it continually force closed on me so I rebooted into CWM and tried to flash my backup MIUI rom and it won't let me
It says that the system, data, cache, and boot can't be found so it skips them and when I try to restart I'm stuck in a bootloop from newt's boot animation.
I'm using a different CWM than the one I made my backup with (don't know if that matters)
I was using CWM 5.0.2 for the backups and now i'm running a modified version of CWM 4.0.1.4
Any help would be great! Thanks!
EDIT: Figured it out. I reflashed the ROM from my SD card and then updated CWM and restored MIUI. This thread can be deleted.

[Q] No ROMs boot, only kindle stock

I have just successfully rooted my kindle and downloaded several different roms to play with.
In TWRP, I made a backup of my rooted stock ROM.
With any new ROM that I flash, when I try to boot, I get stuck on that ROM's bootsplash.
I've tried with the latested jandycane, CM10+SGT7, and MIUI...all the same problem. I wait 30 minutes to an hour for each, but none boot all the way.
In TWRP, I have no problem restoring the rooted stock ROM, so the KF isn't bricked, I just can't use any new ROMs.
Any suggestions on what the problem might be?
EDIT: I'm using TWRP 2.3.1. I know there are formatting issues, so in settings, I use the "use rm -rf" option.
Are you remembering to wipe system and factory reset before flashing the ROMs?

[Q] roms do not make it past cyanogen mod screen

Kindle first generation:
- rooted and has twrp v2.3.1.1 working (seemingly) fine.
- copied and verified md5 checksum for all roms
- wiped system clearing previous rom
- performed factory reset creating new partitions
- cleared cache and dalvik
- flashed FIREFIREFIRE bootloader v1.4a(current)
- flashed gedeROM which uses cyanogenmod 9 (26-6-2012 recentish...)
- system reboot
- does not leave the cyanogenmod 9 load screen.... (-_-) [waited 30 minutes each time]
THE PROBLEM
- No matter which rom I verify or flash they all hang at the rom loading screen.
- have tried this same process with several diffrent roms including
-AlienDroidV7.0.zip
-gedeROM-KFire-CM9-26-6-2012.zip
-cm-9-20120711 (snapshot)
-jb-kfire-hashcode-10-10.zip
I have used the same procedure for all roms to no avail. Could there be something wrong with TWRP and that it isnt flashing the roms correctly?
(It returns saying that they were all sucessful)
Any help would be epic
Flash this zip in recovery to revert to the older twrp that one your using is broken http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30780737&postcount=180 do a full wipe including the system minus the external storage/sdcard reflash your rom and gapps you should be fine.

Thanks!!!
I was having the *exact* same problem as the OP and reflashing the old recovery fixed it. Can't believe the current version is broken like this.
Further searching suggests that also checking "use rm -rf" for the formatting method under settings will solve the problem.
That's why I use the oldest. It has less bugs.
THANKS!
Any idea why the current release of TWRP has so many issues?
I am having the same problem as the OP. I rooted my Fire last summer and updated with various builds of the CM10/SGT7 for the Kindle Fire [Linaro] since then without any problems. I've been using the 1127 build and updated to the 1211 version. Now it just hangs at the CyanogenMod animation screen.
I've tried restoring with a backup that was made following the update to 1127, without success. Same with trying to reflash 1127 and even the 1105 builds, which worked well previously.
When I launch KFU on my Windows 7 machine, it sees my Fire intermittently. Mostly, KFU reports the Fire to be offline and unknown boot status.
TWRP is 2.2.2.1 and all the rest is from KFU 0.96
Any suggestions?
Did you wipe system and factory reset before installing?
"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."
I have the same problem as TrojanDAd. I was on stock 6.3.1 and rooted using KFU 0.9.6. It installed FFF 1.4a and TWRP 2.2.2.1. I have tried to install different roms from TWRP including Jandycane, Hashcode's latest AOSP JB rom, Hashcode's Unofficial CM10.1 rom, and two roms from twa_priv. Each time I flash a rom I do factory reset, wipe data, flash rom, flash GApps, wipe cache + Dalvik. When I reboot, it hangs at boot logo. I could post logcat if it would help but the errors are different for each rom and there are alot of errors.

No, I just did a dirty flash. I wiped the cache and Dalvik during the flash, but that was it.
Well crap... in that case, I'll make my own thread.

It turns out that the "Mount Data" and "Mount System" boxes were checked. I unchecked them, wiped everything and then it finally booted to the lock screen.
Thanks to all on the selyb thread!

[Q] Bad bootloader? Stuck on blue kindle fire screen.

I really hope I can find someone to help me get this working.
Kindle fire hd 8.9
Ive been going around in circles for about two days trying to get CM10.2 on this thing. I've done a ton of reading and have reflashed probably a dozen times.
So, firstly I've installed HFFirstAide, used this program to downgrade to firmware 8.2.1. Then I disabled the auto update, turned on adb and allowing 3rd party installations (cant remember the acronym atm).
Then I rooted my device, transferred fireflash11.apk
kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6
dfhd8-twrp-w.6.3.1-recovery
the stack override file
cm-10.2-20131115-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip
gapps-kk-20131209
I should mention that i performed a md5 check on all of the files and they were fine.
After installing and running fireflash, and plugging the freedom boot and twrp into their slots (yes I checked the boxes as well), I ran the program and rebooted into recovery. Once there I did a backup, wipe of my cache, system, data, and devlik cache (ive also tried just a cache and a devlik wipe, factory reset ect. I've done this about 20 times.)
I then installed the cm zip and rebooted. (doing a wipe on subsequent attempts didn't make a difference).
Every single time I get stuck on the blue kindle fire logo. I can still access twrp and after restoring i get the same freezup. Only thing i can do from here is use kffirstaide to reinstall factory os.
I've tried other firmware zips with the same result. Lastly I tried just installing twrp and did a reboot without flashing a rom (i read somewhere that you could have twrp and amazon os no problem), and it still sticks on that same screen.
What am I doing wrong here?
Finally got it to work on the 22nd try. CM was working great...... and then I installed the gapps.zip file through twrp and it freezes on the blue cyanogenmod screen.... FML.

KK stands for Kitkat. You are using a Jellybean ROM with KitKat Gapps. use these 4.3 Gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Oops I had no idea.
Thank you very much, all is good now

[Q]CWM boot loop

Just got the ATT gpro e980, and installed freegee CWM, downloaded a stock rom with extras, made a backup of current stock rom then wiped everything, flashed the zip and then it said error loki-fying. Tried restoring backup, had no errors, tried rebooting but always ends up back at CWM. Tried booting to bootloader, goes to CWM. Only way to fix this is using LGFlashtool? Any advice appreciated.
