Hey.
Firstly i've had a read around, and can't seem to find any answers.
Tonight i tried to flash kindle back to stock using a video on youtube. Basically said to download the 6.2.2 stock rom, change name on the fire to update.zip then flash that in twrp after doing a system wipe.
I did that - i was coming from a ics rom with fff and twrp on. My kindle boots in to 6.2.2 but then i get application calender storage force close and process android.process.acore force close, and the kindle unsurprisingly just keeps restarting.
Im stuck. Any help or ideas?
When the kindle is on and attached to my pc, it says in device manager android ADB interface but when using KFU it doesnt see the fire (im assuming because its not staying on for long enough?)
Any help would be appreciated - im annoyed at myself! clearly didn't read enough before attempting this.
Thanks.

Can you get into Recovery??
Nope. No recovery on it anymore. Boots straight in to kindle fire stock.
Most likely this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28004774&postcount=10
Thanks dasanko and tera tike. Looks like i will have to try the factory cable see if that works.
Thanks for your help though. I will post back my results here.
Genius!
Well thanks to Tera Tike, all is well again.
Used Basic fire utility and followed tera's instructions, managed to get the fire back in to normal mode, then flashed fff then twrp, now finally back on good old hellfire kindle sandwich!
Man im happy now!
Must make sure to read more thoroughly how to flash back to stock before being a fool again!
So i rooted my kindlefire previously and i believe that it was a success. But after messing with certain programs i believe i moved an incorrect folder to a wrong location causing my fire to (at the time what i thought) brick. My kindle after sitting on my desk for 6 months thinking it was bricked i touched the button and it turned on a booted up. First thing i did was Restore factory settings. Is my kindle still rooted even after factory setting restore? When i download the Fire kindle utility and run the superuser.apk it runs and says i dont have the lastest TWRP installed and it will manually install it for me. It goes through the running process and then it tells me Opps. Error while trying to run. Error found in recovery twrp. How do i go about getting past this error?

That's a kfu issue that need to be fixed hang tight till its confirmed resolved
Okay so basically I decided to root my Kindle Fire. I have rooted my android phone and my iPod before so I wasn't too worried about it, but it's gone horribly wrong and I need major help.
So here's what happened:
I got my root from rootkindlefire.com and followed the necessary steps (i'm running on 6.3.1)
It got halfway through and froze and I stupidly unplugged my kindle
Then it was stuck on this screen with a yellow triangle with a flame in it and at the bottom is said press power button for recovery, but when I pressed it nothing happened
So I went messing around online, in my drivers, etc. I ended up deleting my kindle drivers (like the original ones) and now my kindle is freaking out.
I watched this other tutorial on rootkindlefire.com and tried to follow the steps on how to unbrick it but when I managed to get into the recovery (i can't remember what it's called? blue screen with options like install, mount, reboot, etc.) and put the zip drive he said to, in there... i couldn't see it.
I then downloaded KFU and managed to get my kindle to reboot, but it is now stuck on the "Kindle Fire" screen. I can turn it off, get into recovery, etc. I cannot get it to move past the start up screen however.
I do not believe I am in fastboot, but one of the sites I was on could have misled me. Anyway... HELP! please... I'm sad:/

I followed all the steps and everything worked just like it said....but when my kindle rebooted, it is still stuck at the kindle fire screen but now there's animation...which it did not have before.
Any suggestions?
If your getting animation and it doesn`t go any further this usually indicates a broken system which TWRP are you using ? If you are using 2.3.1.1 there`s a problem with how it formats best you revert to an older version 2.2.2.1 or older then it should work for you. Full wipe except your external storage/sdcard, refalsh rom and gapps. The proper methods for wiping are also provided in the link I gave you.
Very good point though make sure your using the newest version of KFU 9.6 the older version uses burrito root which no longer works on the Kindle Fire. Really though alll you need is a bootloader and recovery rooting is obsolete.

First off, definitely listen to Thepooch and Josepho1997. Next, do you just want a rooted KF running the basic 6.3.1 firmware, or will you be switching to ICS or JB?
Next, is the blue screen you mentioned the TWRP screen? (TeamWin screen with 8 different choices)? If you are, then go to (I think) the bottom right and select mount, then mount system or USB or whatever it says. After that you can add files for a custom ROM or whatever you want through your computer. I forgot to mention that you need to of your KF into your computer.

Help
I have done everything that has been listed here. My kindle is stuck on the kindle fire screen, I can not boot into recovery and I do believe the TWRP that was previously on it, has been removed as well as the OS...My son was messing with it and all I could get out of him was he was on a blue screen and swiped to reboot and he thought it said no OS installed. So, I have the done the Alternate method for rooting, however, when run the kfu, it says its online but boot status is unknown. I can not get it to say any different. What am I doing wrong?
Updated my rooted Amazon Fire TV to 51.1.5.0_515020820. Now I'm stuck on "Amazon Fire TV" logo. Clockwork recover is installed. I cannot ADB to a network connection to issue Adb Reboot Recovery. If I connect a USB keyboard Control-Alt-Delete will reboot Amazon Fire TV. I did try Alt-PrintScrn-i to get to the default recovery screen but I think that is disabled when you install Clockwork mod. Any ideas?
Wow.. Exactly same result doing exactly same thing!!
Don't have a USB keyboard so haven't tried that yet. Also while searching I came across a method which involve connecting FTV with computer using a A to A type USB cable while power is unplugged and then putting the power cable back on triggers fastboot mode, did you try that?
i am too, now i can not connect:crying:
Unbricked.. Yay!!

So I was able to unbrick my AFTV with the same Alt+Prt Scr+i keyboard method already posted before. It took sometime and AFTV rebooted 3-4 times before finally going to recovery, since I had cwm recovery installed, it directly went to cwm.
OP, I dont know why this method didn't work for you.. As i mentioned above, it didn't go to stock recovery but directly to cwm. I guess you should try again.
To anyone who does the same mistake again, I had the soft brick because I missed flashing the FTV boot menu by rbox. I was coming from older version ( 51.1.3.0_513011820), and while I did install the rbox's prerooted stock 51.1.4.0_514006420+updated before flashing the latest update, I missed flashing the boot menu (I did know about it and even moved the .img file to FTV with all other files, somehow just forgot to flash it inbetween the 2 updates).
I have the same issue but managed to get clockwork mod to be displayed. What option did you choose? Install from zip? Clear partions?

i' ve solved this problem, my AFTV stuck in white logo, after i use "Alt+Prt Scr+i " it came into color logo, then I use "Alt+Prt Scr+i " several time, finally it boot in CMW recovery. I've installed an older rom, it is OK now.
I thinks the newest Rom have problems, so plz wait until the author fix it. TKS for all:good:

Ok I'm at the cwm recovery screen but how can I load up an older firmware? I tried adb to connect to the IP address of the box and it says it cannot connect

If you in cam recovery screen, you can see your fire tv box's ip at the low left screen. You can not connect cause of your ip has changed (in my ip changes from 192.168.1.103 to 192.168.1.110).
Then you can use adb push to copy rom image to your fire tv and install it. Good luck

I had the same issue with the latest custom firmware soft bricking my device. I managed to get back to recovery screen, then reloaded previous firmware and everything was back as it was.
Can anyone advise on what steps are best to get the newest custom firmware on my device ?
I have read things about re-flashing rbox recovery screen, etc ?
If you are on 51.1.5.0 and you are stuck on the amazon logo and never saw bootmenu, that means you didn't follow the instructions for flashing 51.1.5.0 which say you must have bootmenu.
I just updated last night and it works great--painless process. And I was coming from 51.1.4.0 which on this particular aftv meant unlocking bootloader, installing boot menu, then pushing the rom.zip.
A lot of steps but I thought it was really easy. I followed the guide aftvnews meticulously put together and don't think I strayed from it at all.
*Obviously this post is for people reading about issues other users are reporting and it might give them pause to install it. I don't think it should because its not hard. Take the time to check all md5 sums! It might be worth it...make certain ALL prerequisites are met.

This is where I went wrong. I have 4 fire tv's, and I have always updated them together with no problem. I mistook "boot menu" to think that was a reference to CWM menu. I always thought of that as the "boot menu", when in fact that was my mistake and the cause for bricking the two devices. In this scenario there is no way to unbrick that I can find. The keyboard alt i print screen is a no go, fastboot is a no go, I have tried everything but unless there is something I am missing, I made a mistake and it cost me two firetvs.

Well that is why the post for the prerooted images links to the boot menu post... but fastboot will only work if you did the full unlock. If you're not fully unlocked and sysrq doesnt work, then you are stuck.

Thank you so much!! just a little heads up, you will need to connect the Fire TV with the LAN cable so this could work, then you could use ADB from your computer to push the correct rom, my mistake was that I installed Boot Menu before updating to 51.1.4.0 and then I updated to 51.1.5.0, big mistake! you need to install Boot Menu before updating to 51.1.5.0 and to fix my problem I just downgraded to 51.1.4.0 from ClockworkMod Recovery
Cheers!!
My Fire TV 2 is Stuck on Searching for Remote Screen after Reset using TWRP. I have seen a couple other threads where others have had this issue but they have managed to get round it through perseverance, I don't seem to be able to.
Is it worth me trying a different ROM? I am currently using "FireTV 2 (sloane) Prerooted Stock Images [5.0.5_r4]"
Any ideas?
im stuck with exactly the same thing. remote wont pair after root then wipe then swipe to factory reset.
ive got three fire tv 2's all on 5.05. this was the second one ive rooted. first one went with out a hitch.
i can plug in a usb keyboard, twrp loads and works.
if factory reset twice, re-installed pre-rooted rom - 5.0.5_r4
i can start twrp then launch recovery and then adb into it via "adb fire" but it says
~ # ←[6n instead of ***sloan****
adb shell returns
/sbin/sh: adb not found
anyone any idea how to fix this.
I am still suffering from this issue. I have tried using a different rom but have the same issue. Is it possible bluetooth is somehow turned off? Could it be activated from terminal in TRWP?
If not, could I flash a stock rom? would I lose TWRP?
I have solved this problem. I downloaded the amazon remote app on my phone and it detected my Fire TV and allowed me to get past the setup screen. I had tried this before and it hadn't worked, luckily it did when I tried it again. Back in the game!!
Somehow I have discovered this issue after installing the prerooted image on my Fire Stick 2 (tank). The app does not work. Any help?
