At some point i had my kindle fire rooted with a jelly bean rom, with twrp recovery installed. I wanted to get rid of my fire, so i decided it was time to go back to the stock rom. In my infinite wisdom, I ended up wiping my factory backup by mistake. I went onto the kindle update site and downloaded the latest official version 6.3 bin file. I then renamed the .bin to .zip and updated it through twrp. When my kindle restarted, the factory OS came up, except I started getting android.acore errors along with another calendar process error. If that wasn't bad enough, it now randomly reboots whenever it feels like it. Luckily I can still usb mount it to my pc and can copy files back and forth. I tried using the kindle fire utility to root it again and install twrp, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Factory reset it.

So i rooted my kindlefire previously and i believe that it was a success. But after messing with certain programs i believe i moved an incorrect folder to a wrong location causing my fire to (at the time what i thought) brick. My kindle after sitting on my desk for 6 months thinking it was bricked i touched the button and it turned on a booted up. First thing i did was Restore factory settings. Is my kindle still rooted even after factory setting restore? When i download the Fire kindle utility and run the superuser.apk it runs and says i dont have the lastest TWRP installed and it will manually install it for me. It goes through the running process and then it tells me Opps. Error while trying to run. Error found in recovery twrp. How do i go about getting past this error?

That's a kfu issue that need to be fixed hang tight till its confirmed resolved
I'm rooting a kindle, and some weird things happened while I was rooting it, problems with rooting on Windows 8, But now that I have TWRP and FIREFIREFIRE installed, it won't let me boot to system. It flashes on and off of the shiny kindle Fire screen, then boots to TWRP. KFU says it is in Boot STatus 0x5003. Any help?

You're in the recovery boot mode. Change it to normal boot mode using kfu.

Hello, sorry to bump an old thread, but when I tried to boot into normal boot mode, it tells me "The system cannot find the file specified." I have been stuck in this TWRP recovery mode for so long. Even when I get into Normal Boot mode, how do I get JellyBean installed so it loads that ROM? I have the Jellybean ROM files on the Kindle, which I can access via TWRP, but don't know how to install. HELP!!!
Well, right now I did a factory reset of the Kindle and I was able to get the KF back to it's defaults. I copied the Jellybean .zip file and gapps Jellybean .zip file to the root of the KF. I booted into Recovery Mode and I was finally able to see both .zip files when I clicked on Install. I thought I could do the Permanent Root now that I did the factory reset, but once I ran it under KFU, it would go through the process to install TWRP and then boot the KF into TWRP, but it doesn't look like it completed the root. How do I complete it?
In the meantime, I had went into Recovery Mode, went to Install and currently loading Jellybean onto the KF. I'm currently stuck at Verifiying partition sizes and it's been sitting there for a few minutes. How long does it take before it's updated to JB?
System Only boots to TWRP and KFU will not see kindle
I have a Kindle Fire 1... Not the HD when I got it in Dec of 2011 I got some help to get TWRP and CM7 Installed on it, and it worked great until a couple of days ago and now there is no help in the kindle fire room anymore so I was wondering if there is someone out there who would be willing to help me to get this to work again either through teamviewer or a Chat of some type, Gtalk, IRC anything at this point to get this to work again.
I have tried everything from a Hard reset, and KFU will not see it and I even tried a unbricking tool and that cannot find it either. Please help me out.
Thanks

Stuck booting into TWRP
Hello Forum Lords, I hope that I found the proper thread for my problem.
I was simply trying to install Cyanogemod 9 on my wifes replacement KF1 after the first KF1 suffered some sore of hardware malfunction and would no longer take a charge. Somehow, somewhere I went horribly wrong this time around. I got stuck at the KF1 logo and eventually I got it to boot, but only to recovery.
My predicament is this: My KF1 is stuck booting into TWRP. Device manager on Win Vista recognizes the KF1 as Android Composite ADB Interface. When I try to use the KFU to boot the device into Normal Mode it says "cannot find the drive specified".
At the KFU starting menu, it says ADB Status: Online, Boot Status: 0x5003.
My ultimate goal is to get this thing running Cyanogenmod again. I am painfully noob at all of this. Please speak as you would to an escaped chimp who will not let go of the keyboard and mouse.
Thank you, anybody
Okay So Ill try to make this sweet and short, I have found several post containing to bricked fires, but none on how to fix them. I loaded TWRP on my Kindle fire 2. The first thing I did was create a backup of my kindle in its current state. I then installed the Tablet Rom from Powerpoint. I noticed Last night he had version 3 out, So I wanted to upgrade to it. Trying to save space I deleted the other zip file from the kindle over the first version. I then thought i had transferred the new version over to the kindle fire, In reality I did not. So I went to boot into twrp recovery to load the new version that I thought i had transferred to the SD card, Only it would only say booting. No big deal I restore my original files and then reloaded the TWRP. I finally got it to boot into recovery, But realized I did not put the new rom into the SD card. So I tried to restart back into the OS, but it will only come up and say Kindle Fire. I tried to restore my backup i made in twrp but it just comes back and says failed. Im at a stand point, And did not want to continue playing around in fear I would make things worst. Looking for some input to get pointed in the right direction to getting it restored or back up and running.
Have you tried tried USB?

My friend i hope you had a factory cable as a back up? no well get one and reflash the files again .
I was able to get it restored after several hours of reading.
I was recently trying to get my kindle back to stock from cm10. I have a decent amount of experience with it all, but I wouldn't say that I'm an advanced user. What I did wrong was install the stock zip from twrp without wiping the system first, face-palm. It flashed just fine in recovery, and boots the stock os all the way up, however immediately after it loads I get errors for several processes and apps stopping unexpectedly. I can force close the error and do a bit before the next one comes up but after a bunch it just instantly reboots. I can get the factory restore in the settings just barely started but it reboots before I can do anything. Since I couldn't get that I went back to the KFU to try to get twrp and fff back on, but have not been successful. It detects the kindle as online in normal boot mode. I have an android adb device showing up in device manager, and I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them several times. KFU won't let me get the kindle into fastboot and when I tried to install twrp it utterly failed saying it couldn't find a bunch of directories that it needed. I have come back from some pretty bad bricks before, but this one has me vexed. Any help would be appreciated.
Try installing twrp and firefirefire manually

Okay, I was able to get twrp and fff installed using soupkit, but now it errors out when I try to install the update .zip file. I always used twrp below version 2.5 but now that is what I have. Any ideas?
Try flashing modded stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211872

Went on a gut feeling and installed the older version of twrp that I always used and the update.zip instantly installed. Thanks for the suggestion of doing a manual install, I probably wouldn't have found soupkit and Linux definitely saved the day. Now I can sell it without guilt, so this is farewell. I haven't posted much but this community has been extremely helpful and allowed me to have loads of enjoyment from my Kindle so thank you much.
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 worked on the 22nd try.
mods please delete
What you were doing wrong was that you posted the message in the wrong forum. Anyone who did not read you have a kindle fire HD 8.9 and gave your advice, your device could have been bricked
