***addendum. after seeing a flash performed i notice that only the top 2/3rds of my screen shows the animation. i dunno if this help[s at all
You should use twrp 2.2.2.1 or 2.3.3.1. Other new versions have a format problem on the fire which causes what you are experiencing.

i finally got it working by using rom from 10 10 not the one from 12 (?) .
my next question is ..... i have several apps on my computer i would liek to load . i have deleted and reinstalled the drivers and the device is seen , but when i try to access it , it says "please insert a disk into drive (x)"
i can still access and add files through kfu , is there a way to add my apps into kfu so that i can add them to the kindle ?
I boot into recovery and mount the sdcard using twrp. I then transfer any files to or from the computer. It by passes the driver issues. Be sure to remove the usb device on the computer before unmounting. Just follow the instructions in twrp.

long story short.
Rooted my kindle fire with kfu, flashed hashcode JB rom and gapps successfully. Father-in-Law says, hey that is cool do mine.
Rooted with kfu, flashed hashcode JB rom and gapps. When I reboot after flashing the roms, it gets stuck in the twirling triangles load screen for hours. When I restore the back-up (more on that issue in a second), it gets stuck on a static kindle fire boot.
Memory was nearly full so I only backed up boot and recovery with twrp. I can move between different bootmodes fine, and am sitting in twrp right now. I have connected USB to computer and kfu says it is online, but it is not showing up on my computer for me to simply download a new Rom onto device.
How can I either, get back to working stock OS, or flash a new (hopefully functioning rom)?
I scoured for hours and didn't find anything that fit my bill, I am admittedly a noob, your help would be appreciated and if I missed a forum dealing with this issue please post a link.
Backing up boot and recovery does very little if anything at all that's why those to items are not part of the default backup scheme. Your situation is not much different than about 96% of those who come to XDA for kindle help and is caused by a dirty flash so I'm very surprised it doesn't fit the bill of many others. Maybe my tutorial will help look at the bottom of my post on how to flash a ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923010
Edit: it doesn't help that the memory is so full as well.
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
O.k. Let me explain the best I can!
So this makes the 2nd Kindle Fire 2 to do the same thing to me.
First off I have read and re-read all the threads front to back that deal with KF2 devices. NOTHING HAS WORKED.
My problem...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_YWq0h1-9s
This all deals with my 2nd Kindle. The first one has been shipped back to Amazon for exchange.
However the steps are the same. (There is only two guides after all)
So I started by rooting the stock 10.2.3 KF2 using Bin4ry's Root Method.
I then used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106463 to install TWRP.
After rebooting into TWRP I proceeded to wipe the required areas and install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105077
All files Installed with NO ISSUES!
Rebooted into the "streched out CW 10.1 logo". That's when it seemed to get stuck! 45 Mins nothing.
Ok so lets redo this I think to myself.
Reboot into TWRP wipe ALL data areas EXCEPT my SDCard (Roms are stored there need them to install OS duh!) and proceed to install again.
Reboot..... an LOOP.. LOOP .. LOOP
2 different Kindles doing same loop.
Fastboot. Does not work. I have 2 Kindles with 2 different cables and 100+ computers to try it on. All from XP/7/8 to MAC/Ubuntu.
Sadly none are helping me enter fastboot. To me it seems to be GONE! Is that even possible?
Can anyone help?
Just view the Youtube link to know where I am currently!
You may have to wipe SD

Hi,
I got stuck in a boot loop 12 days ago. Never got to Cynaogen screen. I wiped all data, including my ROM and Gapps. WHOOPS.
I could boot into TWRP, and that was it. I was optimistic... CAN YOU GET INTO TWRP?
But, I could not get any computer to recognize it. I tried my Win Xp, Mac OSX: 10.6.7 and Xubuntu...
Finally I got ADB running by following this tutorial: http://desire.giesecke.tk/tutorial-adb-on-xubuntu/?wpmp_switcher=desktop
Be sure to change the Vendor ID to 1949, and use your machine's text editor. I have leafpad.
It took about 30 minutes to get ADB working
I wiped then sideloaded and flashed (install from zip) CM10
Then I rebooted
Then I flashed Gapps.
Hope this helps. Wiping the device can be a critical step.
GOOD LUCK. I was relieved when the CM splash screen ended.

It sounds like a bad download. Have you tried re downloading the ROM again? Check the MD5 code on your download against the code on the website.

MD5 Check out just fine.

you need to restore it back to default kindle os, installing twrp wipes the the kindle os which prevents the kindle from booting up you needed to copy the cm10.1 and gapps files before installing twrp so restore it back to the original kindle os and before installing twrp be sure to copy cm10.1 and gapps on to the kindle first because the kindle needs to have an os to connect to the pc

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
