Hi guys.
I had installed one of ROM's, i even don't remember the name, it was 5 months ago.
Then in Settings I pressed to reset factory data, which deleted all my applications, personal data and etc.
After that when it restarted, it stuck in TWRP recovery mode..
I tried installing several ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619550 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488930 but after flashing/installing it stuck again.
what should i do? :s
i tried googleing but nothing came up .. :s
Do you have the Kindle Fire Utility installed on your PC? If so you could try using that to set you bootmode back to 4000 (normal).
If you can mount SD card and move a new rom file and gapps try aokp do a full wipe factory/data ,cache,dalvik and system reflash new rom new gapps reboot or better yet flash the new bootloader via twrp and use the power button to toggle to normal boot or change bootmode

Essentially the same thing I said in the post above but its good to have it reinforced
I rooted and installed an ICS ROM several months back on my Fire. One morning the wife brings it in and says my son got it stuck in some weird mode. Turns out it is stuck on the TWRP yellow triangle and does not seem to be able to get into recovery mode. I have done that several times before so I am pretty confident I am not messing that up. Just the power button never turns orange and eventually the device just turns off. My computer see the USB device but ADB does not. I did `android update adb` and then added '0x1949' to '~/.android/adb_usb.ini'. Do I have any options left or is it bricked?
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this. Especially to any who can reply with suggestions.

ADB will not work because you're in fastboot mode. Use fastboot commands to install the new TWRP and change the bootmode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
fastboot oem idme bootmode 5001
Hold the power button to perform a hard shutdown and restart the device. You should then be able to launch recovery using the power button. If not, you'll have to flash the bootloader as well. If this is the case, be extremely careful you don't pull the USB cable during the flash or you will really brick your device.
Also, it is very important to know that the version of FFF you'll download comes in a .zip format to be flashed in recovery. Don not flash the .zip file directly to your bootloader partition. Instead, unzip it and find the "fff-u-boot_v1.4.bin" located in the cache folder and flash it.
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader /path/to/fff-u-boot_v1.4.bin
fastboot reboot
If you were able to access recovery just by reinstalling it with the first command, push the FFF1.4.zip file to your sdcard and flash it in recovery. Just remember not to wipe anything before installation. That will help you to fix your bootmode problems a lot easier in the future by holding the power button untill the boot options appear at the bottom.

Thank you! I am back in recovery!
I finally got my KF to install TWRP and flash the Stock KF ROM. My question is, how long does it normally sit at "Verifying partition size..." it has been about 10 minutes so far.
Waited until the option to REBOOT displayed, and clicked it. Now it comes up with the KINDLE stock recovery loop........ press power button to continue. I press it and it just comes back. I have tried KFU and Unbrick utilites, no luck! Options???

If you can get back into TWRP I would recommend mounting sdcard and putting a different ROM on the sdcard and trying again.

So I already had a rooted (and I'm pretty sure unlocked bootlader) version of the stock Asus and wanted to put CM13 nightly on there. Everything was going smooth until I got to the stage where I have to load into TWRP and I got the error screen with the little dead alien and the red symbol.
Now I can't enter normal boot, but entering recovery mode seems to work. I tried the option to side load a package from ADB on that screen but nothing worked (.zip files extracted, but I got an error on the phone).
As you can tell, I'm really new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried looking around, but it seems the more common issue is people not being able to enter recovery mode or something similar.
Thanks
Looks like your doing it wrong. Being rooted does not necessarily mean that your bootloader is unlocked.
By the looks of it your in recovery mode with the dead robot with the "error" message. That is normal. To reboot back into system you either have to press (I don't remember) power button and volume up or down button. Then you should see some options with reboot to system. Or if that does not work you can hold the power button till it turns off.
Then you get back into Android, download the official bootloader unlock tool from ASUS and install it on your device. NOTE: If you updated to MM then this will not work and this will void your warranty.
Run the tool and press unlock and it should reboot into fastboot where it should begin the unlocking process. I believe it should automatically reboot and you should see that the Asus logo is now black instead of white. If not, repeat the process.
You can now proceed to flash twrp recovery. Boot into fastboot/bootloader mode either with "adb reboot bootloader" or hold a specific set of buttons while off to go directly into fastboot.
On the computer, connect your device and type in "fastboot flash recovery (path to twrp IMG without brackets)"
When done you should be able to reboot into twrp recovery where you can flash the cm13 zip.
Hope this helped.
Hello everyone! Complete dumbass here!
I was following the guide to root my razer phone. I've had it for a couple months, and decided to root it. I followed the guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/twrp-magisk-fullproof-guide-razers-wifi-t3756137
After a couple bumps in the road, such as fastboot commands not working, not being recognized, etc. I finally was able to unlock bootloader and install twrp. But it was #9 that got me stuck again.
"9.) Once in recovery, go to the install button, and select Install Zip, and select Magisk-v16.0.zip."
In recovery, adb devices and fastboot devices yielded no devices attached. Doing a search, I came across another forum post where it states the sdcard is encrypted and can't be accessed in twrp, and the fix is to do something like "Wipe>Wipe Data> Type Yes" and that should factory set the card. I did this and rebooted the device. I waited for a half hour for the animated PixelFloatingInACircle logo to be done with it's floating in a circle, but ended up going to bed and letting it die. Woke up this morning, plugged it in, got the razer logo splash screen with the orange text telling me of my impending doom, then went back to the animation. I let my dog out and came back and it was still on. I unplugged it and am letting it die again to see if there's another solution.
I'm wondering if anyone else came across this issue, and if so, how did they fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
Use the factory images in the developer portal. You have to manually install the fastboot driver or you won't see the phone in fastboot devices. After that you can flash_all.bat.
PS: if you just want root you can use magisk installer to patch the boot image (from the factory images) and then flash the patched_image.img. That's it, now you have root via magisk

The problem is when I try to enter download/recovery mode after charging the battery a little, it doesn't go to that menu. Instead, it skips right to the particle logo, and that's where it hangs.
The only guide I saw was the one I listed. Is there a guide for this magisk installer?(Ya know, in case I figure the first problem out, so I might try my hand at potentially creating another)
i think there is a way to hard reboot the phone, so you can do that and then hold the vol- key to start in bootloader mode when it reboots.
gonna check the correct buttons.
Edit: the button combination is power+vol+ for about 10-15 seconds, and the phone will reboot. You have to connect the phone via usb cable (before rebooting) to the computer (the only thing i'm not sure is if you have to have the fastboot drivers in the pc installed previously or if you can do it after entering fastboot) and just after the screen goes black while hard rebooting you have to release all the buttons and then press and hold the vol- button. The combination of vol- and the usb cable on boot seems to trigger fastboot mode.
I think the guide is in the guides forum, but the way it worked for me was without twrp:
- install magisk manager from this link -> https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/releases/download/v5.7.0/MagiskManager-v5.7.0.apk
- push your boot.img (the easiest way is getting it from the factory image corresponding to the firmware you are using) to the sdcard
- open magisk manager -> install -> patch image only -> boot.img
- this will generate a patched_boot.img in /sdcard/MagiskManager
- copy that file to your pc
- go to fastboot and flash that patched image: fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
- enjoy root, and you can use magisk hide for apps that don't like root

Tried this originally after I let it die the first time. It still boot to the animation logo.

Read the edit, I found that the trigger is having the usb cable connected to the pc. Try that, or you can also try to adb while the device is booting (particles logo). Sometimes adb is responsive even when booting. There you can try to adb reboot bootloader

Progress! Got it into download mode. I have the boot.img I got from razer, should I push that and see if it boots normally?

As you already wiped the data partition, you should use the flash_all script. But yes, you can try flashing each partition

I moved the flash_all script into the tools folder and after a little while, the phone booted up into setup! After a couple taps, I've realized the wifi isn't working, which I know is a known issue. I'm gonna let it sit for the night and finish it in the morning!
EDIT : Soooo, I know I said I was going to bed, but I decided to fix the wifi issue, which in turn, also rooted my phone. I've downloaded the root checker, and it confirms it! Thanks so much Waiflih! You rock!
Hi guys, it seems I'm having the same problem and basically after unlocking my bootloader and flashing twrp to both of my slots I'm stuck on "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" booting up infinitely.
The USB plug in and holding the volume - button doesn't bring up "download mode" and no matter what buttons I try and press on my phone my computer doesn't recognize ANYTHING connected to it anymore.
Bloodeagle, how did you manage to get "download mode" back onto your phone? it seems like mine refuses to do anything like download mode.

Have you tried holding few combinations of different butt9ns for a minute or two to see if that results in you getting in downl9ad mode?
