Hello, i need help with my kindle fire. before i bricked it, i already had rooted my kindle and was using the SmoothROM with TWRP 2.2.2.1 and FFFF ver. 1.4a. I wanted to install Ubuntu on my Kindle but because I needed 5 GB of memory to install it i wanted to factory reset but the amount of memory (4 GB) was still the same with the same downloaded apps and files i had before were still there. So, iwent to TWRP and erase everything and and i stupidly and accidently erased the SDCard and in the process all of my backups plus the ROM and other files were completely erased. So now, all i have is FFFF ver. 1.4a and TWRP. Now, I dont know what to do because 1: I dont have any system to use and 2: My computer cant read my kindle and its contents so i cant install or even copy a ROM or something to my Kindle because basically my Kindle is no longer on my computer and KFU doesnt recognize my Kindle. Please I need help because my battery will not last long. Does anybody know a way to restore my Kindle?
You should still be able to mount your sdcard in twrp and transfer a ROM. If you are having trouble doing so it could point to drivers or a mounting issue. Either way Soupkit is your best bet to remedy the problem as quickly as possible before your battery dies and then you have real problems http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1309 . Put it in recovery and charge it just watch to be assured that it is indeed charging, this will give you all the time you need to sort your troubles without panic.

Whats good XDA community?
I dont know exactly what happened (I bugged this little dude out awhile ago I've just been too lazy to fix it) but now that I want to flash my kindle fire back to the original... I cant seem to. It seems I've wiped the ICS rom I had running on it and now when I hit the power button(and dont boot into TWRP 2.0) it just loads a blank black screen. Also, I cant seem to mount my kindle via the TWRP mount option, do I need the android debug bridge for this? I changed computers recently so I dont have any of the tools that I had when flashing this the first go around(for the record I'm on a mac).
Thanks for your help, my first post so please be kind

I guess you didn't make a nandroid backup? You don't need adb to mount the SD partition though, If you can i would try a different computer because when you mount SD through TWRP you should have no problem accessing the SD on your computer and dropping a ROM or in this case the update.zip from here
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620
since you are already wiped, all you will need to do is rename this .bin file to update.zip and install like a normal ROM. you will then be left with an unrooted, stock version of the kindle fire (without TWRP or FFF also)
Hello i need some help to fix my kindle fire. I was using the kf utility to try and root my fire and some how deleted my system files so when it reboots it goes to the twrp screen and when I try to reboot from there it says there is an error and system wont boot. I just got my kf a week ago and I am perplexed with fixing it, being I am used to Android 4.0, I would be thankfull for any help i could get.
Thanks very much racerx....
Download a rom on your computer. Hook the fire up to the usb port. In twrp, mount the sdcard and push the rom to the kindle. Unmount and install the rom from twrp. Reboot and enjoy.

In TWRP go to mount, and mount as a USB drive. Then side-load a rom into any of the sd card folders. Custom rom or if you want to return to stock Kindle, download the latest update, change it from a bin to a .zip file, and load that.
Then, still in TWRP, choose to install the rom you loaded, and let it go from there.
Hah, didn't see Ixthusdan's reply, or else I wouldn't have posted dup info, sorry!
Install this Jelly Bean ROM. Sweetest thing ever.

I've successfully rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and installed TWRP. I then put the zip file provided by Hashcode onto my device, wiped my cache and dalvik cache, and proceeded to install the new ROM.
After a successful install, I rebooted. It optimizes 65 installed apps, and then reboots again. An hour later the Cyanogen Mod logo is still spinning. I figured that was long enough to assume something went wrong. I powered down, went into TWRP and tried to mount storage so I could replace the Cm10.1 file with my backup files to go back to Stock. I'm receiving the following error when trying to mount storage though:
Code:
E:Unable to locate volume information for USB storage mode.
So I attempted using ADB Sideload, but at no point have I managed to get my Kindle recognized by the ADB server. I appear to be in some hell where my device still "works," but I have no way to put anything on it to fix it.
My last option appears to be fastboot. I am able to get into fastboot mode on the Kindle, though I don't know what to do with it. I'm familiar with all the other steps from my original Kindle Fire, but I never got this deep into it. Wanted to see if someone could give me some direction before I really break this thing.
Update: Alright, so between the FAQ (Item 11) and Hashcode's instructions on restoring backups I've managed to get my Kindle back to stock. I panicked and posted prematurely, so sorry for crapping up the forum. Shout outs to Hashcode and Soupmagnet for their posts.
So, long story short. customer walks in with a completely wiped kindle fire. system and all. This is what i did to try and get it going
1. I ran kindle fire utility 0.9.9
2. twrp 2.6 and Fire fire FIRE!!
3. pushed custom rom through ADB to SD Card succesfully (tried to install no luck)
4. pushed stock rom through adb to sd card successfuly (tried to install this one also no luck)
when i install the roms throught TWRP i get
"simulating actions..."
"updating partition details..."
and the install bar at the bottom completes the process in less than 3 seconds.. when i attempt to reboot it says "no os found"
Kindlefire model is D01400 so it's first gen from what i read
sidenote... i am able to push files through ADB but, i'm unable to mount storage. my computer doesn't recognize it as a memory card..
any help would be greatly appreciated.. i've been searching for hours..

When you push files to the device, reboot and see if they're still there.

Thank you for responding.. yes, the files are there.
I found out what was wrong on my last attempt before i went home for the night.
On the advanced options i had the "test" check mark on.. unchecked it and problem solved.. Got it up and running.. 4 hours of research = 1 checkmark off ha.. lesson learned.
I have a Kindle Fire 2011 1st gen. I got TWRP on it and had a hell of a time trying to get a ROM flashed or anything like that. I did follow a write up on here how to root it, and it worked. But it was still kindle and just looked like android. So i tried to flash CM11.... I accidently deleted the partition with everything on it, and flashed CW11 but i used OtterX, and it wont boot. I have a fast boot cable, but I cant get the PC to recognize its plugged in so i can get anything on it and try to flash again. What can i do? How do i fix this?!? Please help me!!
It was still kindle and just looked like android? All you're doing when you flash a rom is putting standard android on it, so it should look like android. If the fast boot cable you're referring to is a custom order "factory" cable it won't let you transfer a rom, the point of the cable is for bad issues that won't let you boot back into recovery. I'm guessing you didn't delete the partition since you're wanting to copy a rom over, you just formatted it and erased the rom file, correct? Use a standard usb cable, micro b, that fits the kindle. Plug it in. Boot the kindle into recovery. Find the option in recovery to "mount usb" or "mount mass storage". This will show it on the pc as a mass storage device you can copy a rom to. If however you did the otterx conversion, in other words you didn't just try to install an otterx rom on standard recovery and partitions, then you won't have the option of using the usb mount. You will have to go through the adb push method, which I don't remember, but there are other topics on this forum that explain how to access the adb (android debug) and use the push command as well as others. Good luck and if you get it fixed be more careful next time. If you aren't familiar with how to do these processes you can easily brick your device. Read research and read again to be sure you have all the steps down!
I have been up for HOURS trying to fix it. I used a Kindle Utility Tool and rooted. It Installed some google apps after SU... At this point when using usb the Kindle would show up in "my computer" so i put cm11 on it. Tryed to flash it and it wouldnt work. I deleted something and now all the OS are gone. It says it. When j try to boot it stays stuck on the screen. I can pick to boot recovery but even when i abd push roms. Cm11 and stock kindle os it wont flasb then because of E: partitions not there.
I dont have any idea whats left to try. I really tried everything i could find.!! Now it dosent show up on "my computer" anymore... its like. Gone gone!!!!
I need to figure out a way to get it to work. I need to find out how to add partitions first i guess.... i got twrp and thats like it... i cant get a boot.img to flash. Nothing....
I need some serious help. I gotta fix this atleast back to amazon kindle os before they find out i broke it. Lol
