Here's how to restore your KF to stock from a custom ROM
make sure you have the stock recovery installed (if you are in CM7 you are)
First, download the latest official update from here -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620
then download this file -> http://www.mediafire.com/?31sljwzyu0i1nev
and place it on your sdcard
it should be /sdcard/command
rename the amazon update to update.zip (even if it's a .bin file, make sure it is update.zip, NOT update.zip.bin
then, place that file on the sdcard under /sdcard/kindleupdates/
it should be /sdcard/kindleupdates/update.zip
turn off usb mass storage mode
go into the adb shell and type
cd cache
mkdir recovery
cp /sdcard/command /cache/recovery/
idme bootmode 0x5001
reboot
i just went from cm7 to stock and it worked fine
<3 thanks man
This makes me much more inclined to try to CM7; however, I think I will wait for a final version of the ROM. Seems like a lot of good progress is being made. Thanks for posting!
lol stick to stock until the wrinkles are ironed out. i feel like everybody wants in on the alpha builds for all devices until they actually test it out and wanna go back

I think the current CM7 build is pretty soild.
Is it possible to mess around with ROMs in Eclipse or do you need to be running linux?
Never tried using another OS. I believe the easiest OS to set up a build environment is linux (ubuntu primarily)

So has anybody actually done this?

This is impossible as long as my device is infinitely restarts after logo Kindl Fire ...
Just does not work command adb shell.
This method is useless if the command adb shell is broken.
I don't think it was meant to provide a way out in case something gets messed up, just a way to get back to stock should you want to under normal circumstances.

Sure, it doesn't work, since you jumped the gun and tried to do this on your own without waiting for someone knowledgeable to put out clear instructions.
Any other posts people put up probably won't apply to you because you jacked up your Fire.
Why not seal deal the go for the coup de grace and make a factory cable, that forces it into fastboot etc so you can try and get back into adb.

This is the best post of all time since I broke my Kindlе. I'll try it if it is not repaired at a service center.
Not sure if that's sarcasm. Note: the bulletproof vest goes on before you get shot, not after.

Well, that was the first real piece of advice he got... So I suspect that he might actually be trying to say 'thank you'
Nevermind. didn't see the sticky.
how do I delete?
I have been having the same problem... and have been very fed up working on and off for a few months trying to fix this problem. My kindle boots into recovery mode no matter what bootmode i set it to using KFU 0.9.6. I have tried going into fastboot, restarting the device, then booting into normal mode, then it flashes on and of a few times, then boots into recovery(I have mostly been running TWRP 2.0.0 but have recently received TWRP 2.1.1). It seems as if i have tried every possible variable!!!!! It is very annoying and it would be extraordinarily appreciated if somebody can find an answer!!! Please help!!
PS I will gladly post additional information upon request
This belongs in questions and answers, but you can get rid of it by using kindle software update which also unroots the device.
I wish that it was true ("factory defaults")

Unfortunately, going back to "factory defaults" is a misnomer. It only replaces the rooting operation. The bootloader is not updated.

I'm trying to unroot my kindle but I'm getting the binary error every time, and on forums they said it could be a problem with twrp and therefore, I'm here trying to figure this out, Thank you!
Could you be more specific? Also, the title of the post and the content therein seem to contradict each other. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

I'm trying to unroot my kindle fire and revert back to STOCK ROM so I can send it back to Amazon due to touch screen issues, and I've read several forums that say it's an issue with TWRP 2.5 and that I should install 2.3, but I'm not sure how to do this.
It will take some searching on your part, but typically every version of TWRP in the KFDev forum has a recovery flashable .zip posted by other users. Or you could go to the TWRP website and download an older version and flash it in fastboot.

Very likely this go around will not be a first gen device anyway and the second gen. are a bit more complex you can actually permanently brick them. Unlike the first gen device which is nearly almost impossible to permanently brick. I would think every device you bricked was able to be repaired except the last with the touch screen issue. Unless perhaps that was just an indication of a partially corrupted system.

Of course, I look back on my previous kindles and realize I could have definitely fixed that if only I had the knowledge I had now thanks to guys like you all at xda!
I used kfu to install twrp2.2 but you could replace the twrp2.2 .IMG to a twrp2.3 solved!!!

I am not sure what happened to the phone exactly, but all of a sudden it got stuck at the Fire System Recovery screen. I can't reboot it. It keeps getting to this exact same screen every time I try to reboot.
Here are the options that are on the screen.
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
Please help, this phone is for my son and he's pretty sad right now not able to use it.
Thanks much!
Edit: If I remember correctly, I probably installed CM Rom on this phone when I first got it.
Anyone?
Anything I can do?

These are the kind of posts throughout the World Wide Web that are just absolutely worthless and a complete waste of bandwidth. If you have nothing to add or contribute, move along.
And please DO NOT assumed that someone had not try to use the Search function on this forum or Google.

No, Sir. Your post was the pointless one. The forums become cluttered due to people like yourself who do not make any meaningful effort to search and read through the forums to solve problems that have already been discussed previously. If your search function skills lack the sophistication to locate the link @Kramar111 provided, then I submit you should refrain from making such large modifications to your devices, such as flashing CM11. While yes my posting was sarcastic, it's intent was to shine a humorous light on the fact that the forums are here to share knowledge, not constantly rehash it.

Thanks for this guide guys, I followed the instructions and sideloaded the latest Amazon Fire OS 4.6.6 several times and the phone shows "update completed" but I keep rebooting to the Fire Recovery bootup screen.

what are you using firestick 1, firestick 2, firestick 4k? Are you rooted/Unlocked? TWRP will give you options, what device you have will determine what you can do. The 4k doesnt have options yet (but it is coming), the (2, tank) can be unlocked and fixed, the one? you have options but for what it is throw it away....

Be patient. There is a thread to donate for unlocking. I wouldn't be surprised if it is unlocked and rooted in the next couple weeks which should give you the tools you need to fix your brick. I was saying to throw the firestick1 away. The firestick 4k is the 2nd best TV device amazon has sold and definitely worth fixing!

hmm i wonder if you have enough time to trigger the factory reset remote shortcut of holding back and right for 10 sec

I think I let it loop 20-30 times max then cut power.
Have you let it loop longer, How long?
