Hi, I am running TWRP v2.2.2.1 and my kindle fire is rooted. When I go to flash a rom it seems like it is finished, but never gives me the success popup. It also says its verifying the partition sizes and filesystems. The home and restart buttons appear and so once I flash it I restart and the bootloader for each rom I have installed consistently just keeps loading indefinitely and never goes into the OS. Any idea's? In the mean time I have a backup and am running the stock os.
Restarting the bootloader selection puts your device in fastboot. Try selecting system after your flash that`s what you should be doing.

after i flash "wipe cache, home, and reboot system" appear. Do you mean reboot system or am I wrong. The success popup never showed up again.

Depends on what your flashing as far as the wipes go but yes when you select reboot then you select system if prompted. If you are flashing a completely different system. Wipe factory reset , wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash Rom and flash gapps then select reboot and select system if prompted.
Edit: The final thing that TWRP does during a flash is verifying file systems and verifying partitions sizes. When you see the buttons show for wipe davik/cache and reboot this indicates the flash is complete even if it doesn't throw a successful statement

I now cannot get into an operating system. The device loads FFF 1.4a says "booting" goes blank for a little while then comes back to the 1.4a screen and says "booting" again and loads up TWRP. This is how I got to this point:
I recently decided to go from an older CM7 rom to a new jb one.
Because I had an older version of FFF and had a CWM recovery, I downloaded the new version of FFF (1.4a) and the newest version of TWRP (2.2.0) (flashable zip file) as well as the new jellybean rom and jb gapps. I checked all md5s prior to doing anything.
I booted into recovery and created a backup in CWM. I then cleared cache and Davlic cache and installed FFF 1.4a. I then rebooted to CM7. After loading CM7, I rebooted into recovery, cleared cache and davlic cache and installed TWRP 2.2.0. I then rebooted into CM7, rebooted into recovery. I then cleared cache, davlic cache, factory reset, and wiped system. I then installed CM10 and jb gapps and attempted to reboot to system, but have not ever been able to get there.
I have tried installing the CM7 rom I had before, no difference, CM9 rom, no difference. I tried to use a recovery file I had, still no good.
Adb does not seem to behaving properly as well. I can't seem to be able to get the device into fastboot mode for one. In TWRP I can see the device as the following:
4B8E000600000001 recovery
when I try to change the bootmode, this is how it behaves:
adb shell
~ # <-[6n idme bootmode 4002
/sbin/sh: idme: not found
KFU also seems to not be much help at changing the bootmode. I have tried older version as sited elsewhere (0.9, 0.3), but these fair no better.
Also, In my haste and desire to get this working I thought,"maybe there is some conflict with the sd card", so I wiped that only to realize while wiping that I never backed up my recovery files, "doh!".
Also, I have full battery.
I am a noob, so I could have done anything wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
When you get to the bootloader screen select boot normal in the boot menu by quickly depressing your power button a few times if it does not boot normal then flash the bootloader again in recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632375 also you will have to mount your sdcard in twrp to do so make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data then mount transfer 1.4a bootloader a new ROM and gapps then unmount flash bootloader reboot it get back to twrp wipe factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik wipe system flash ROM flash gapps select reboot if prompted select system see where your at after that

Yep, it was a bad FFF flash. All good now. Thanks for the help.
Just out of the blue my Kindle just boots into recovery every time. I use TWRP and I've tried restoring multiple backups, I've tried wiping everything. Even factory reset won't do anything. I've also tried reflashing the ROM I have on it (CM9).
Any suggestions?
DO you have firefirefire?
No. Do I need 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.

I have TWRP v2.0. I factory reset, then wipe cache, then dalvik. It's been running CM9 reloaded for months, but I have 3 other ROMs on it to flash, while I was testing each one. but now none of them will flash. I unchecked check MD5 Sums and Signatures, the installation will say complete, then i wipe caches and reboot system, and I just get booted back into recovery

I always have had trouble with roms that have gapps baked in. First go to mount in twrp make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data if so uncheck them , cache and sdcard should be checked by default select the big mount button after you have connected to pc. Transfer this rom zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778010 and the 20121011 jb gapps to your sdcard if it will mount http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#Jelly_Bean_.28Android_4.1.x.29 unmount then unplug your kindle wipe factory reset, wipe cache,wipe dalvik, and wipe the system. Flash rom zip flash gapps zip then select reboot and system if prompted. If you get the same result or twrp throws a bunch of errors then soupkit is what you need because of some kind of mounting issue.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038 As well if you don`t have have the bootloader with the white kindle blue fire simply flash that in recovery from here only http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632375. Your recovery is way out of date flash this in recovery after you get the rest sorted and you are running again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30780737&postcount=180 this is the latest working version.

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.
Solution: In my research, I found people were having problems with TWRP format and were told to enable the option "Use rm -rf" instead of format. This was preventing /data from being formatted properly and it was not mounting properly during boot so I kept getting stuck at the boot animation on any rom. Now I'm successfully using TWRP v2.3.3.1 with default options.
Original Post:
Yesterday I rooted my KF with stock 6.3.1 using KFU 0.9.6. It seemed to go well and I now have FFF v1.4a and TWRP v2.2.2.1.
I have used TWRP to install a handful of roms and every one of them gets stuck at the boot logo. I have enabled the option in TWRP to "use rm -rf". Each time I have installed a rom I have done the following
Wipe>Factory Reset
Wipe>System
Install Rom.zip
Install GApps
Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache
I have tried the following roms (plus a couple others):
[ROM] [JB 4.2.1] CM10.1/SGT7 for the Kindle Fire
[ROM-AOSP] [NEW] Stock Jelly Bean 4.2.1_r1 for the Kindle Fire [12-18 DEEP SLEEP FIX]
[ROM/KERNEL] UNOFFICIAL CM10.1 + 3.x Kernel for Kindle Fire [12/16 SLEEP-FIX]
[ROM][AOSP][10/10/2012] Jelly Bean Tablet Edition aka Project Jandycane
Attached are some logcat logs. cm-10.1-20121216-UNOFFICIAL-otter printed nothing to logcat. Jandycane didn't install since if failed the checksum check.
At the blue Kindle Fire logo, hold the power button to pull up the boot options and select "reset boot mode".

Sorry if I said it wrong. I'm stuck at the boot animation. I'll try this when I get home.
Make sure you have no checks in the boxes of system and data under twrps mount option if so uncheck them then select reboot system. As well might I suggest a better wipe order: factory reset, cache, dalvik, system, flash ROM zip, flash proper OS specific gapps zip then select reboot system.

Well, that's a different story.
Two things usually cause this...not wiping the necessary partitions or using the wrong recovery (CWM, TWRP 2.3)
I would double check to make sure the examples listed above are not an issue. Otherwise, pull your recovery.log while booted into recovery to see what's going on.
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Those boxes were not checked. I actually thought of this before, but I just double checked. Wipe order didn't seem to make any difference.

Edit: Recovery.log attached.
Edit2: Also, I forgot to mention that before I flashed anything, I backed up the stock /system. I have successfully restored this and booted back to the stock UI. It is only custom roms that get stuck.

Get on recovery, download the latest twrp, flash it, reboot to recovery, delete system, cache, dalvik, and Factory reset. Then install the ROM ad you are good to go.

I'm getting the same result. I looked at my logcat and it looks like /data isn't being mounted during boot.
Yeah you will need to use soupkit to fix your data mounting issue. First try resetting twrp defaults use format instead of rm -rf .

Guys
really need some help here. Stupidly i decided i wanted to try my hand at installing clean rom,.
Firstly -
1. i rooted the device, and then used titanium backup to freeze some knox apps.
2. I didnt bother to put the stock recovery back on as i wanted to install clean ROM.
3. I followed the instructions i found on here to a tee - as below. They all worked perfectly.
4. I went through the install screens on CLEAN ROM - that all worked fine.
5. It ended with a screen back to TWRP and i hit reboot.
6. Not the device just gets stuck at the glowing samsung logo.
7. I can get back into TWRP but i have no idea what to do next. I have tried rebooting from TWRP, both system and power, but no luck. The device powers down, and comes back up but remains stuck on the glowing samsung logo.
What can i do?
these were the instructions i followed. Any help much appreciated, and i will chuck a couple of quid towards someone that can help.
3.
Download latest CleanRom and copy it to your SD-Card
4. ODIN
- Run Odin as administrator
- untick -Auto Reboot-
- Click -PDA- (in latest version it's -AP-) and choose your TWRP version
- Now turn off your device and restart it by holding down Power+Volume Down. Proceed with Volume Up to enter DownloadMode
- now connect your device to your PC using USB
- Device drivers should get installed if not already done
- check the Message box in Odin. There should be an "Added!!"
- There should be nothing checked but F. Reset Time
- Press -Start-
- when finished there should be a "RES OK !!" in the Message box
- TRWP is now flashed to your device
4.1.
Now restart your device manually by holding down Power+Volume Up. As soon as you see the Samsung Logo, wait a second and release the Powerbutton but keep holding Volume Up until TWRP is loaded.
5. TWRP
In TRWP
- click Wipe
- advanced wipe and check:
Dalvik, Cache, Data, Internal Storage (should be enough), System
- do NOT tick external SD. You don't want to get it wiped.
- Swipe to Wipe
Now back to Mainmenu
- click Install
- choose your desired ROM
- Swipe to Confirm Flash
- Follow Rom's Installshield and you should be good
Have fun and good luck
If you can get back to TWRP, then wipe data , cache & dalvik, then re-flash clean rom again.
If problem still persists then flash a stock rom via odin.
still no joy
I can wipe cache, system, data, but when i try to include dalvik cache i get a "Failed". the message in the screen says E: unable to mount '/cache

You shouldn`t wipe system . data , cache & dalvik was the requested options.
Now since you wiped system, your only choice is to download a stock firmware from sammobile, enter download mode power+volume down , then volume up, & flash via odin .

Hi thanks all – i think the problem was the boot loop issue. I wiped cache, dalvik cache, system, and data, one by one, and then reinstalled clean rom and it seemed to push it through. Thanks for the support though!
Almost, if it powers on and you're even getting in to recovery, bricked is not the proper term.
Bricked = no power, dead beyond repair.
All you had was a software issue.
and if twrp does not find sd card ?
then what ?..
I was exploring the TWRP recovery installed on my tablet and tried to create backup which failed. Then i went to the mount menu and selected data and system. Then into the reboot menu i selected Firstly Recovey, then download, then system, then power off and every option restarted into twrp recovry and i cant start my tablet normally... I tried factory reset and data wiping cache and dalvik wiping but nothing helped. What should i do now ???:crying:
The twrp version is 2.7.0.1
