Did I brick Kindle?

i updated it to modaco 6.2.2, don't know why but did a factory reset in the settings menu. it deleted everything. only left with twrp folder, still able to get into recovery. tried reflashing modaco zip, but says unable to open zip.
can i flash a stock rom?

Yes you should probably flash something. That's why you always make a backup

made a backup and it erased that too. just tried cm7 with no success. will keep trying.

Ok, This happened to me on my DHD, Try to fastboot a recovery and flash it. Use the one doomlord made then Flash. BUT before you do that make sure to have the update on your sdcard.

every zip i tried says installed then when u reboot system it goes directly back twrp

I was in the same situation last month. The only solution for me was to flash the stock ROM and start over from scratch.

I followed these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20438599&postcount=1 I've never tried it with a pre-rooted ROM, so YMMV. Like I said I flashed this and started the root process over from scratch and this is what worked.

I just flashed using the zip. If you happen to get stuck, reboot and click pushing the power button until the -- lines go to the Reset Boot Mode at the bottom and not Recovery.

This is exactly what kept me from updating TWRP the last several days. Flashing over itself from inside the about-to-be-flashed app just seems wrong.
So you guys are verifying that it works?

Time flies! No idea how I got there that fast, heh.

I updated TWRP through GooManager. Once in GooManager, select Flash ROMs and it will ask you if you have a recovery. Just select "Try to find one for me", and it will allow you to download and install with one click.

the safest way to update twrp is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500935

what is the latest version that can safely be placed on KF HD 8.9
Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but i am having difficulty finding the information elsewhere. i"m currently running TWRP 2.3.3.0, and would like to upgrade to the latest version. I would like to know what the latest version of TWRP i can safely load on a KF HD 8.9 is. I see that version 2.4.4.0 is what was used in Hashcode's instructions, but I'm curious if that is the latest version that can be run, or if 2.5.* can be used.
Thanks!

Did you wipe the ROM in twrp with no backup or rom zip file? If that's the case you can sideload a new rom from twrp then create a backup just search forums for sideloading. There might be an easier way but not sure, this worked for me though.

[Q] What steps am I missing with my install to kitkat?

To start off the kindle had an older version of twrp and had a version of ice cream sandwich. Those work correctly and it continues to work correctly after a nandroid restore.
Fast forward to now, I installed the latest twrp and flashed the latest FFF v1.5 bootloader.
I flashed this CM11 nightly cm-11-20140702-NIGHTLY-otter.zip
and flashed latest gapps gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip
After I finish flashing everything I can setup the kindle but once I reboot it goes into a bootloop at the CM logo that results in a colorful screen. If I power off and power on it just bootlopps at the CM logo. Not sure what else I can do. Any help is appreciated.
Forgot to add. I have tried flashing Pacman rom: pac_otter-nightly-20140701.zip and I get same results as above.

Never thought about that. I just downloaded the version in the twrp thread.

OK so I have twrp 2.7.0.1. Here's the screenshot in recovery. Does your twrp look like that because my other twrp on other devices look different logo wise.

Still stuck at logo?
U need to inform ur version of bootloader, twrp, and which ROM u r trying to flash. Let us know the name of the file.
Did u wipe before flashing?
Twrp7 can't be use for flashing JB. U ending up using JB by flashing ur old twrp and ROM? Or by flashing via twrp7?
Last.. Are u sure u device is kindle fire original?

Yeah still stuck at cm logo after powering back on or rebooting. File names are in the op but let me know if you need anything else. Clean instalI with a wipe. I even used the twrp version SD_shadow provided and I still installed KitKat and installed jb bit still see the issue. And positive to original kindle. I'm thinking I should make a video of my install process. Thanks for the help guys.

The bootloader gets flashed 1 time and 1 time only. Unless perhaps there is an upgrade you never do this in correlation with flashing a new ROM period.

Kindle fire stuck

Hey guys so I have a rooted kindle fire 1st gen running 6.3.3. I rooted it no problem and got the play store and have just been chilling. Recently I wanted to install a custom rom so I downloaded cm11 and gapps and went to twrp (here comes the mistake). IFirst, I realized that my version of twrp was too low (2.2.1) so I downloaded 2.7 and flashed that. Then I wiped system, data, cache, and delvik cache, and then realized I lost the rom to install. So now I was stuck on twrp with no os and not able to boot. I powered off the kindle so I could connect it to the computer and then adb push a rom onto it. Now when I try to boot the kindle into recovery it shows the blue teamwin logo and then stays at that, occasionally flashing black as if it was trying to load. Any help on how to fix this because now I can't even get into recovery and I can't boot.

If you can get into twrp there is an option to mount usb which makes it show up on the pc as an external drive to easily transfer rom file to. May need a factory reboot usb cable at this point or try to run the rooting utility again if it shows up as add device to reinstall recovery
