Maybe try flashing it back to complete stock and from there wipe the SD card partition clean. Then do a factory reset.

If i flash the original OS onto the fire, will it leave fire fire fire and twrp on the device? or once i wipe the sd card partition will i have to reapply the steps?
Check the data folder. It tends to be filled with data files by applications you've uninstalled or don't use anymore. I cleared over a gig of space using this method.

If you flash the stock OS (6.3.1) back onto the Kindle, it will return it to full factory stock: no FFF, no TWRP and no root access. Jji7skyline's post is a very good idea....try that first

If you are using TWRP, sideload a ROM to it and flash that. I think even from CWM you can adb push a ROM to your internal memory. If all else fails, reboot to download mode and ODIN back to stock.

Odin'ing a stock image/package may be a littler easier for me, im a complete novice when it comes to ADB..etc
Well I was able to what I think successfully use Odin to flash stock firmware. The only thing I question is that, I still have all of my pictures that were stored on the phones internal memory.
In stock 3e recovery I also have more options rather then just wipe/factory reset and clear cache....
You really should Google how to use adb, there are some great tutorials from XDA. Everyone is a nub at first. Lol.
Flashing stock doesn't wipe the internal memory, it just does the normal wipes and formats system.

If you're running a custom recovery (TWRP, CWR) just Format Data/InternalSD. Everything will be gone.

Can anyone help me, I've rooted, installed twrp and then flashed stock jb 4.2.2 and all was well. I then foolishly wiped my sd partition and now when I boot up, the home, back and menu buttons have gone. I don't really know how to get it back. Can anyone help me?

I would flash the ROM back onto it again without wiping anything. That should put things back without deleting any apps you have set up.

Ive tried that, still no luck. Also the wallpaper has gone and the background is black? No idea how to rectify it now. I think that the kindlebackup folder has gone too, would this have anything to do with it?

Odd, I always thought the ROM had everything in it needed.
I have seen on the Atrix where you had to flash twice in a row, because the first time it doesn't see any existing JB files, so it can't install other important files. Flashing the second time works fine because the needed files are copied over on the first flash.
Might be worth a try?

Thanks for your help man, Ended up restoring it back to factory and gonna start again! Thanks again pal.
Amazon was just too slow for me. When i had Amazon's Kindle os, it ran extremely slow, was very buggy, and the style was just plain weird. So, i decided to flash my rom, and have a fully fledged android. Using TWRP and Cyanogenmod, and with this helpful tutorial, I managed to do so, with minimal difficulty. My kindle ran much better, and much faster thereafter. But alas, with me always liking to mess with things until they break, giving me the ability to break whatever i use without having to do anything to it, my kindle started to have errors. First, the booting time got longer with each boot. Now, it is at a point where it takes a full night to boot. I tried to reboot, but it ran into the same error, spinning endlessly on Cyanogenmod round screen. Reboot after reboot, waiting five to ten minutes in between, i decided to just leave it like that throughout the whole night. Went to bed, and woke up. To my surprise, it had actually booted at one point in the night! This hasn't been the first time it has happened, either. It happened about two weeks before this error. It ran fine, then boot time extended, then it got stuck on the endless rotating cyanogenmod screen. I did a factory reset, which solved the problem, for that time being. Having to restore all my apps was just plain boring. It ran fine for a few weeks again, and after two and a half weeks, it has happened again, and i don't want to have to factory reset for the rest of my kindle's life. What is the problem? How do i fix? Do you guys need any more information?

Try wiping cache and dalvik cache from twrp, if that doesn't do it I would also wipe system and reflash the ROM.

How do you wipe the cache? I never figured that out. I booted into it with the volume button during boot, but i don't find a clear cache option.
K, did it, appears to work now... Thankies!!
OK, as I thought, it didn't entirely work. Every time I reboot, I have to clear cache, or otherwise it won't boot. Any solution, or should I just reinstall android is on it?
I'd reinstall android, just wipe system and the caches and reflash. If that doesn't work, back up yours apps and their data and do a factory reset and reflash again.

K, so jus at back up important data, then wipe everything, download another copy of android, test it with I can't remember its name program but will find out, upload to twrp, flash ROM, restore data, viola?
That sounds about right, I'm guessing the other thing you were thinking of was md5sum checking program.

Yup. I'll do that this weekend then! I hope that will solve the issue... Would it be possible to put Ubuntu os (Mobile edition) on a kindle?
Eh an old version yes, but hashcode hasn't released an update so the newer one can boot. And its not very good yet, its really buggy and not worth using as a primary os.

I have a new problem. I usually know how to fix these kinds of things but this is different. My kindle fire hd is not being detected by my computer at all. There is no noise when I plug it in and there is no kindle device in the device manager. I tried the cyanogenmod recovery for the first time to update my kindle. I installed the cyanogenmod update and I rebooted. It just booted back into the cyanogenmod recovery. It keeps doing this. Is there a fix?
Original Post:
I have been using cyanogenmod for a while but I wanted to move back to stock. Is there a way to revert back? I do not have a backup because I wiped my internal drive and I forgot I had my backup there.

If there is no way to revert back or you suggest not to, what custom rom should I get? I need one for gaming(mainly), surfing the web, and watching videos (youtube, amazon instant video).

I did not because I installed the recovery and cyanogenmod through the cm updater.
I have seen a problem similar to mine but it was for the kindle fire (not hd). They solved the problem by connecting the kindle with ubuntu.
I am going to install a live disk to see if this will work on mine.
Edit: It looks like it is not a driver issue because ubuntu failed at finding the device. I know that my usb is working because it turns my kindle on when it is plugged in. I think that there is no way to fix this because there seems to be no way to connect my kindle to my computer (I have tried different computers). Any help would be appreciated.
