I'm going to try to make a long story short
I downloaded a Jelly Bean ROM and the Amazon Update Stock ROM
I renamed the Jelly Bean ROM to Update.zip (there's my mistake)
I booted into TWRP recovery and applied Update.zip, when I rebooted I had Jelly Bean
No big deal right? I used Kindle Utility to reinstall TWRP, rebooted and was stuck on the Kindle Fire splash... No big deal right?
While trying to correct the problem, I went from not-so-bad to very terrible.
Eventually a fellow co-work built a factory USB cable for me I was able to finally get back to TWRP recovery, flashed the original stock ROM and when it rebooted, I was stuck on Kindle Fire splash again. HELP! Well I had the birght idea of taking all the knowlege I learned to get back into TWRP and was successful in doing so, I then re-flashed the Jelly Bean ROM... lo-and-behold, My fire booted into Jelly Bean
Now with all that said, I would like to know if anyone knows how to take the Kindle Fire back to stock from Jelly Bean, would it be the same as reverting it back if there were another ROM installed? As you can tell by all the problems I've had, I'm a bit hesitant...
Any direction would be apperciated
I went with this following suggestion and was able to get back to the stock look and feel

Thank you everyone for your suggestions... I was very hesitant to re-try it again, this is the first time I've had anything happen like this too me and I've been using Andriod Cupcake days!
I just hope you did a backup before updating and so forth? If so, restore from that.
Otherwise, you'll have to do a Google search and try to find a zip of the stock ROM.
Did you wipe

Dunno what your point is about returning to stock but just flash modaco instead use ota root keeper for your prime video and enjoy the benefits of the Google android market a sort of have your cake and eat it too deal when flashing place modaco on your sdcard wipe factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik wipe system flash modaco reboot and enjoy

I did not do a backup. Do you say I would have to find a full Amazon ROM and not the Update from Amazon?

Wow lots of information there...
I did make the mistake of trying to flash stock rom and lost fff and twrp, I was able to recover from that by using a modified USB cable
I would like to go back to 100% stock even without root, I've had my Fire rooted from day one and don't really use any of the features that rooting unlocks, basically I use it to view Netflix and Amazon prime, play some games on it... I thought I'd use it for work but if work wants me to have a tablet, they'll buy me one! HAHA
If I decide to use the rom you suggested, I'll make sure not to use the version you said to stay away from
If I make a backup now, it's going to just backup the existing freshly installed rom. What's the difference between backing up the fire now and reinstalling the JellyBean rom?
I appreciate all your information

Hi all,
I have successfully installed JB 4.1.1 (full_otter-userdebug 4.1.1 JRO03 eng.hashcode.20120713.003406 test keys) and I have two issues:
1. google play does not run (start). It was not installed at all, and when installed from APK (v3.7.11) is crashes at startup
2. I don't see the device using adb and I am not able to boot into recovery mode to re-flash it...
Any ideas appreciated, since now I am now able to read my amazon content on it.... ;(

First of all you must flash gapps after your ROM secondly don't you have fff bootloader use that to enter recovery if you don't have fff will need to add it using kfu if you can't get kfu to see your kindle likely you will need to reinstall your drivers to do so
Daniel if you have a yellow triangle when you first boot hold the power button till it turns orange this will take you to recovery where you can flash jb gapps if you have a screen with white kindle and blue fire press your power button quickly a few times till you get a small boot menu at the bottom select recovery with your power button this will take you to recovery sorry you can't use smirkis unless you can get to recovery so completely disregard that
Thanks. I would like to flash gapps, but as I can not access recovery mode I dunno how to do it. I don have FFF, how can I install it once having JB 4.1?

If you have a problem with a device other than the Kindle Fire, please post in the relevant forum. You'll get better help there
I rooted my Kindle Fire a year or more ago. I'm not a super user and simply followed a guide I found on Youtube. I don't even recall which one. Things have been working fine for months but the last time I tried to use my Kindle, it boots up to a TWRP v2.5.0.0 Menu (Install, Backup, Restore, Wipe, etc).
The only instructional guide I can find online is a step-by-step to unroot the Kindle for warranty purposes. I don't want it unrooted. I just want it usable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm traveling with my Kindle and laptop. This is not the machine I used originally to root the Kindle.
Thanks.
Tipsy
I'm not an expert as you can see by my post count, but if you can boot into TWRP then try to download another ROM and install it.
You can follow this guide on what to do, its the one I just used a couple of minutes ago and it solved my problems.sd_shadow's pre-root 6.3.3. 6.3.3 Can't be rooted yet but instead of using the link I posted you can try a modded stock 6.3.2 with root installed, but the ones I tried would try to update and cause it to reboot after 5 seconds. If you have a working TWRP and want it to be working right now you can use the link I put till someone who knows better replies since you can always re-flash the system with TWRP.
Use the mount options in twrp to copy my pre-rooted 6.3.3, to the sd card.
Unmount, and install, if you want latest rooted stock rom.
.
You will need to upgrade twrp if you want to try a current custom rom
I will go into more detail if you want.

If you wouldn't mind more detail, yes please.
I literally followed a Youtube tutorial step by step to root this thing initially and never thought about it again, so I'm really no at all knowledgeable about the process or the jargon.

By the way, perhaps I'm misunderstanding, or maybe my Kindle Fire is that much older, but I don't this device has an SD slot???

The newest roms are using the Project OtterX: TWRP and Bootloader
I made a [Video] OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [ROM 2014-05-08]
just use the current TWRP and bootloader here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2671619
and a rom that says OtterX compatible like SlimKat,SGT, or CM11(posted in OtterX thread)
Okay, I watched your video. I'm over my head. I'm sure if I spent an entire weekend reading and researching, I could figure it out. But I don't have that much time right now. Is there a simple tutorial I can follow that will simply get this thing up and running?
Thanks.

Okay, I've down loaded your .zip file. I selected Mount in TWRP. "SD Card" and "Cache" are already checked. On the right, it says "Mount USB Storage." There is no option to Mount ADB.
Bear in mind, this laptop is not the computer I used to root the Kindle last year. Is there some kind of driver I need to install to the laptop prior to doing all of this?
Tipsy
yes, select Mount USB Storage, not mount adb, my bad

Okay...I'm not really sure where I stand. I followed your instructions above. It's now booted normally, but the System Version shows 6.3.2_user_4110520. I was expecting to see Version 6.3.3?
Honestly, as long as it's functioning, I don't really care. But maybe I should try installing those drivers and repeating the process? How do I go about installing the necessary drivers to this laptop?
Thanks by the way for all the help!

Installed failed, I guess.
Easiest way to install drivers is with kindle fire utility.

If kindle is connected to WiFi, it will download 6.3.3 update, then try to install, install will likely fail, and reboot to twrp. In the unlikely event the update installs, you will lose root, and need a fastboot cable to reroot

Just wanted to follow up. I'm finally back with the PC I used for the initial Kindle root. I once again followed the instructions in your video and reinstalled your rooted 6.3.3 OS v1. This time, there's no doubt it was successful. Thanks very much for your help!
Do I understand correctly that this should remain stable and the Kindle will not attempt to auto-update the OS, rendering the rooted OS inoperative?
Tipsy
It should be as stable as stock, just rooted.
It is safe from updating, only till next update is pushed.
If there ever is another update.
But if you have twrp installed, update should fail.

Okay...I think I screwed up. I was in the Play Store and there was a Go Launcher update, which I installed. From that point on, everything went down hill. Parts of the screen were obscured, preventing me from making selections and nothing in my Newstand was usable. Also, Zinio, the primary app I use, would not load.
I figured I should not have loaded the Go Launcher update, so I went back to "Install" and reinstalled your .zip rooted OS. But it didn't seem to bring me back to where I was the other day. And I still have the same issues (Newstand and Zinio don't function).
Any ideas?

Hello all,
I had a Kindle Fire 1st gen lying around in my house and I decided that I would get android on it. I downloaded kfu and pressed 2 and enter. It did its stuff but then I thought it was stuck. I stupidly unpluged my kindle and now It is stuck on the stock orange kindle fire logo. I plugged the kindle into the computer and device manager told me it was an unidentified device. People told me to buy a factory cable so I did. I plugged the charged kindle into the computer with the factory cable and nothing happened to the kindle. Then I check device manager. It said that a kindle was plugged in but the drivers were not working. Please help me.

There was an ! on that so I double clicked it. The device is working properly. The kindle fire i still stuck on the kindle fire stock orange logo. By the way thanks for responding to my thread I really appreciate it.

Yes I have. They're Pretty Helpful
I have an original kindle fire that I had rooted a while back, installed TWRP (version 2.5), and a custom ROM and everything worked fine. Yesterday I was messing around with the tablet and with TWRP I used the advanced option to wipe all the partitions of the device. I realize now, that I should have never done that. I've tried using the Kindle Fire Utility to update TWRP, but it always get stuck at activating fastboot. I'm able to mount the tablet to my computer and I have tried to install different ROMs using TWRP, but there is always an error during the installation process. I've tried to search for answers and have tried many options, but at this point I'm not sure what to do. I can't find any TWRP backups, is there an option to download a stock TWRP backup package so that I can use it to restore the tablet?
I just want the ability to install another custom ROM without any errors. Thank you for your help

Yesterday I was messing around with the tablet and with TWRP I used the advanced option to wipe all the partitions of the device. I realize now, that I should have never done that. I've tried using the Kindle Fire Utility to update TWRP, but it always get stuck at activating fastboot. I'm able to mount the tablet to my computer and I have tried to install different ROMs using TWRP, but there is always an error during the installation process. I've tried to search for answers and have tried many options, but at this point I'm not sure what to do. I can't find any TWRP backups, is there an option to download a stock TWRP backup package so that I can use it to restore the tablet?
I just want the ability to install another custom ROM without any errors. Thank you for your help

if you want to change twrp version see
Kindle Fire Flashable Recoveries TWRP/COTR/CWM[2014]
for most custom roms i would use twrp 2.7.1.0

twrp and rom must be compatible

I was able to use the Kindle Fire Flashable Recoveries to get to TWRP 2.7.1.0 and then I was able to download the ROM. Thank you for your help!
I have another question: I installed "cm-11-20150907-NIGHTLY-otter.zip" and "gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip", but after opening up the youtube app a window popped up and says: "Google Play services, which some of your applications reply on, is not supported by your device." I tried to make sure I downloaded the correct version of gapps for CM11, but it looks like it isn't working properly. Is this an easy fix?
