Possible brick, left with no files whatsoever on my KF - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have looked through the Kindle Forums and it seems I cannot find something that matches my problem, but if I missed the correct thread please link me to it if necessary.
So I've finally bricked my device after no problems since I've owned it. I had been on Twa_Priv's CM10 ROM and loved it and have had no problems whatsoever other than my lack of storage. I had a backup of my original rooted Amazon ROM on my device, and I planned on reverting to stock to start over so I can have a decent amount of memory. Little did I know, and I now learned my lesson for this, but without reading XDA before taking any action I went ahead and factory reset the device through the settings and left the room. I come back, for a second I see code running on the blank screen and then it reboots straight to TWRP.. That's when I checked my files and saw that when my KF was wiping files, it literally wiped EVERYTHING except for the TWRP folder of course., including important android system files a long with it. I've read similar threads where they were stuck with just TWRP, but from what I've read this is not the same.
If there is anything I can do to just get some form of Android running so I can revert to stock from there, I would be very much appreciative if someone could let me know. Thanks.

Will restoring the backup not do what you're looking for?

Well that's the thing, it even wiped my restores too somehow.. Pretty much at the moment my Kindle is like a really big flash drive with a screen :/

Do you want pure stock (no root, no TWRP, no FFF) or custom rooted stock (keep root, TWRP, FFF, and have Gapps included)?

For now just pure stock, I can always re-root and all the good stuff when I'm willing to move away from Amazon's limitations since I know the information is out there for how to do so.

Then again if I can get a custom rooted stock that would be fine too, I forget the Amazon app store doesn't have good applications.

Are you able to mount your sdcard in TWRP?

Yes the SD card was mounted by default and I am able to unmount it and remount it as well.

Good.
Download MoDaCo and transfer it to your sdcard (using mount),
Wipe > "Factory Reset",
Flash.
Wipe dalvik and cache (optional),

Alright Thanks, I will let you know how it goes once I have everything downloaded and flashed

Sadly it didn't boot. It continues to just boot into recovery even after factory resetting and flashing the ROM.

When your device boots, do you see a blue Kindle Fire logo?

No, I just see the FFF logo and the power lights orange on its own and it goes straight to TWRP, I've even tapped the power to see if it was possibly stuck in, but it's not.

Download and flash FFF1.4.zip via TWRP and reboot. (don't wipe)
When you see the blue Kindle Fire logo, hold the power button until you see the boot options appear at the bottom.
Choose "Reset boot mode".

[Q] Kindle Fire: Recovery not working, rom freezes

Hey there guys. Issue is I rooted and installed AOKP on my kindle fire. I installed it (but not the gapps) and realized I had not wiped /data/ and /cache/, so I did through CWMR. It froze. After about 10 minutes, I decided to risk it and forced it to shut down by holding the power button. I can get it to boot into AOKP, but it runs really slowly for about 5 seconds then stops altogether. I tried to wipe /data/ and /cache/ in CWMR again, but, as soon as I booted into it, it gave me all these "cannot find /cache/recovery/command" and the like messages (about 5) before showing me options. When I tried wiping /data/ and /cache/ it said that it could not mount /data/ or /cache/. I then decided to try and restore my backup of stock, but when I did it said it could not mount /sdcard/. I then replaced CWMR with TWRP via fastboot (which does work), but TWRP won't get past the splashscreen. ADB does not work in either the Rom nor in TWRP, but I can issue fastboot commands. I have tried the Firekit LiveUSB repair kit as well as manually deleting userdata, cache, and media through fastboot. I have deleted and replaced recovery via fastboot as well as replacing boot with hashcode's boot.img from his latest kernel.
None of these seem to have done the least thing (except replacing CWMR with TWRP which changed the recovery to TWRP but still doesn't let anything work). I'm afraid to ask it, but have I BRICKED an impossible-to-brick tablet?
PS: My bootloader is FFF V1.2.
That is because you used cwmr to flash it and no twrp get back into recovery and restore your backup and replace cwmr with twrp cwmr has been pulled

It's a bug of prior versions 2.1.1 of TWRP. You can change boot mode in KFU. I urge you to flash new version of FFF as well as TWRP for ease of your life. Just select them in KFU.

KFU is "Kindle Fire Utility" and you are running it right now.
It has a "Bootmode" menu. Select it.
You will then see a "Normal" item. Select it.
This will set your bootmode to normal so you don't end up in recovery all the time.

Accidently Installed Jelly Bean and...

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.

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

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

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?

[Q] Kindle/Root crashed - Can't get past TWRP menu

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.

What os is on laptop?

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

Strange. It's indicating the version I listed above. It's conected to Wifi and the "Update your Kindle" prompt is not selectable.
I'm sorry. I realize these questions must be utterly basic to you but I have no idea what the Kindle Fire Utility is or where to look for it.

yes, select Mount USB Storage, not mount adb, my bad

Yes you should install drivers, but if can mount sd card, and copy files to it, all is good.

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?

Thanks for help.
if u dun mind, can u upload these to dropbox? (in my area, mediafire is blocked )
http://www.mediafire.com/download/q0..._Stock.1.4.zip
http://www.mediafire.)com/download/z...g_Version).zip
I can't revert to stock recovery .. it stuck in waiting device (cuz i think usb debugging is not on)
My room is already on B510.
I think the problem (stuck on huawei logo and there is no os) occurs bcoz I accidentally wipe all data (Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Custom Storage, Data, Internal Storage) via TWRP.
What can I do to install OS?
download this stock recovery first
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973625
^ after you download extract and rename it's file to recovery.img
then
If you can still access your twrp try rebooting in bootloader mode then>
use your adb /fastboot on pc
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then follow the instructions above for how to reinstall your android os
also to download those mediafire files try using http://onlineproxyfree.com/
also in the future when using twrp never format internal or external memory..
---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------
also make sure you have adb drivers loaded? try this maybe http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe

Hello,
Thanks again bro. but i still have problems.
in CMD, when i typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", it's still in waiting for device.
For "onlineproxyfree(dot)com", it's also blocked by FortiGuard Web Filtering.
Yeah.. I won't format internal / ext again
I already installed adb drivers to my laptop.
hmm try rebooting your phone directly into fastboot> hold vol- and power continuously till it boots in fastboot>plug phone back in> then try flashing the recovery again
also make sure to replace your drivers with the ones in the software i provided the link for, also remove any huawei pc sync or whatever the name of the pc software was, it sometimes clashes with adb
maybe try using tor for downloading from mediafire.

hmm i faced that issue too once, give me a few min let me check something
---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------
Can you send me a screenshot of your device manager screen? ie goto control panel>admin tools>Computer management>Device manager, also are you using adb in your cmd command or are you using fastboot? Try adb devices and see if it shows a serial number,
also maybe try replacing your adb/device/fastboot (whatever device manager is picking your phone up as) with this driver http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

Download firmware from official website and extract it. Copy dload folder and paste it in sdcard. Now turn on your device by pressing volume up + volume down + power button. This will force install firmware in your phone.
