The Kindle was running a modified Android Jelly Bean ROM (that I think I found somewhere on this site) - it was essentially stock 4.2.something built for the Fire. It was having charging issues, so in an attempt to fix it I opened TWRP and flashed it back to the stock OS (after making a backup, fortunately). It now reboots every 10 seconds or so. FFF has disappeared.
I've tried everything in the KFU--booting into Recovery Mode, rooting again, installing TWRP again, installing FFF again--but none of it works. Most of the time it gets stuck on "waiting for device..." after trying to reboot into Fastboot Mode.
EDIT: It seems that the issue is stemming from not being able to put it into any boot mode other than normal...
Anyone have any ideas?

The Kindle Fire starts booting normally, but then shuts off prematurely or reboots spontaneously before the device completes the startup process.

Not the case—it boots up completely. Also, it says that the solution is to install FFF, which I can't do. The battery was also charged to full when I made the post.

I'm guessing the time from start to reboot is probably closer to 30 seconds then. You apparently didn't do a factory reset in TWRP so you'll need a factory cable to get into fastboot.

I just timed it; lasted 22 seconds. I did not do a factory reset, did not know it was necessary... Do I have to get a factory cable? Is there any other option?

Yes, but I would consider it a very "last resort" option.

Was attempting to re-root my Fire with KFU, however KFU chose to install TWRP first which I think prevented me from ever achieving root. So as instructed to reinstate my stock Fire out of the box I flashed the update file as I had before to unroot it which worked perfectly. However, now I am stuck at the Kindle Fire boot screen and no TWRP to boot into recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reverting to stock, does just that. It reverts your device to the state it was in when it came out of the box, and is completely unnecessary. TRWP does not prevent "root", it simply aids in the "rooting" process, which is unnecessary in itself.
Put your device in fastboot (very likely it already is), reinstall TWRP, install FFF, wipe partitions, and flash a ROM. Problem solved.
IF any of this is foreign to you, you should do a little research before continuing and getting yourself into more trouble.

Getting the attached error from windows..
What I think is that you are in a different bootmode, but your kindle is not showing up as a adb device. Have you tried hard resetting? But remember, unplug the USB cable, then hold the power button for 20 seconds, power back up, and then see if you can see the kindle appearing in KFU
Edit: I agree with soupmagnet. If my suggestion doesn't work then use the links he posted and follow his method

Forget about rooting it for a second. It is unnecessary. Install a custom ROM and be done with it.

Hello all,
Right now I am getting very pissed at my kindle. I rooted it with KFU and installed TWRP and then flashed it to twa_priv's CM10.1/SGT7 ROM. After flashing it and gApps it got stuck on the cyanogen boot screen/animation. I tried to reboot it but it doesn't even show the option to go into TWRP anymore. It shows the orange Kindle Fire logo then goes straight to cyanogen and the logo just keeps spinning. I am getting ADB status when I connect it to KFU but I can not do anything with it or put it into Fastboot. Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point!

You shouldn't be mad at the Kindle, it didn't do anything wrong.
On the other hand, you probably failed to wipe system and factory reset before flashing the ROM (installation instructions are in twa_priv's SGT7 thread btw). Unfortunately, short of opening the case and list of other things that are outside the scope of this conversation, you're going to need a factory cable to get into fastboot.

I have the wall charger if that's what you mean by factory cable. Any more instructions you can give me so I can get back into TWRP?
If you're getting adb and the Kfu works why cant you just change to fadtboot from there?or re install root from here, adb should be able to give command line to access twrp

Personally I would say go with Skorpn's. They are made in small batches with great quality, fairly inexpensive, fast shipping, and everyone who gets theirs from him seem quite pleased with it overall. He's got a pretty good reputation on XDA so you should probably look into it, if not for that reason alone.

it loops the roms logo. i think it was a bad flash so the rom won't boot.

Yes, you need a factory cable to get into fastboot so you can wipe data, or access custom recovery so you can reflash your ROM.

Today my Gnex randomly rebooted, then got stuck rebooting. it now starts gets all the way to the home screen then reboots, then the cycle starts over. I am rooted runny shiney rom. nothing new installed recently and as stated before the phone was running normal the rebooted out of the the blue.
I have cleared cache, davik and done factory wipe, all to no avail.
the text on bottom of my bootloader reads:
Product name-tuna
variant- toro 32gb
hw version-10
bootloader version primemd04
baseband version-i515.fk02 cdma-unknown
carrier info-none
i cant flash the factory image because the phone doesn't stay powered on long enough to stay connected to the computer. apparently when i re flashed and root i forgot to make a back up so i can not restore that way either.
You could try pulling battery put back in and hold volume buttons and power to get into fastboot mode and flash factory image. Maybe you already tried this but maybe not so thought I'd throw my thoughts your way.

Debugging mode is only important when you are trying to use adb while booted into Android. In the bootloader, debugging being on or off doesn't matter. It also doesn't matter in recovery either.
Something is wrong somewhere, drivers are usually the best place to start as it is probably the most common reason why the device doesn't communicate with fastboot. Other things to try are different USB cables and USB ports.

Well looks like you know what your doing so looks like you have a major issue beyond my skill level. Sorry i couldn't help. Never tried it but Odin may be a thought. If you can get into recovery you could side load using adb also.

Have you tried connecting it into download mode, and then flash an odin image through odin? with that method you wont need to actually put the image onto the device but rather odin just copies it over for you while flashing the phone at the same time.

That'd be a neat little trick considering you can't factory reset with ADB (at least not that I've seen). You can wipe cache and data with fastboot, but that doesn't really do anything about the touchscreen problem or the fact that the OP wants to install the stock ROM so it can be sent back for replacement.
With that being said, if someone around here is kind enough, OP, you may be able to get a saved stock system.img to flash in fastboot along with stock versions of the bootloader and recovery. After which, a few simple ADB commands will remove superuser.apk and 'su' so it can be sent back for replacement, if you can't resolve the problem on your own.
