So I tried to load HellFire rom on my kindle with Clockwork Recovery. I flashed the rom and did all the resetting and clearing of cache.
What happens when I now load my kindle is this.
1.) It loads the kindle fire logo
2.) loads the hellfire animation for a split second
3.) goes back to the kindle fire logo
4.) loads this blank screen
my computer cannot find the device when it is loaded in this blank screen. It can only find it when it is on the kindle fire logo and then it's named as "Amazon" (in my device manager) and I cannot do anything after that because it only stays on the kindle fire logo for maybe 5 seconds. Once the logo is gone from my kindle, my computer cant find the kindle connected.
If there is some way that I can just get into the Clockwork Recovery I can then just put a diffrent rom on. This HellFire rom of there's is defective and shouldn't be allowed to be out there in the public.
Any help will be amazing.
Thanks.
Which clockwork mod recovery? Also I have found when flashing hellfire in twrp that system and data had checks in them under mount simply by unchecking them I could get it to boot I really dont know how this applies to cwmr my suggestion though is to do a full wipe and flash a rom other than hellfire . Another thing I have noticed is this tends to happen when gapps are prebaked into the rom IMO the kindle needs this mount and unmount of system while flashing gapps to truly have a good clean flash...

I dont know how I could access recovery without it being recognized by the computer.
You have no yellow triangle or white kindle with blue fire then your kinda missing out on something its a bootloader that gives you access to recovery without that its very difficult indeed somewhere along the way we need to get you a bootloader but because at this point drivers are an issue I suggest using Linux I will help you with a setup that will rule drivers out of the equation and hopefully we will be able to flash a bootloader to your device in order that you can obtain access to recovery and clean up your broken system issue by flashing a rom that your kindle will like more pm me and we can get that sorted for you

I have the same problem, any solution?
I flashed cm10.1 and latest gapps after rooting with kfu and going to twrp to flash zips. After rebooting the kindle stays on the rotating CM splash screen. Is there anything I can do to revive my kindle. I can't get my PC to recognize it and I can't get to recovery. I have the correct drivers installed bc i used the kfu only a few hours ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated

When you plug in the usb to the computer do you get any change in windows device manager? like an unrecognized kindle fire (yellow triangle) under usb or similar?

Looks like you might need to reflash. Don't forget to do a wipe/factory reset...

That's a strange problem. Have you tried to reinstall the drivers or use a different PC? If it can get into the boot animation, you should theoretically be able to get into recovery/TWRP... Sounds like a bad flash may have happened so try a newer/older build. I hope it goes ok...
Use this to replace the the one in kfu driver folder http://db.tt/vXXeuL10 and rerun the driver bat, that will get adb going again. Try reboot recovery to enter recovery or use kfu to set your bootmode to recovery. Bootloader? fff will take you to recovery as well.

I replaced the file and still shows ADB status as offline and boot status as unknown. The computer makes the noise that a device is connected once the kindle reaches the CM screen but the that is it, ADB is still offline. Also, the kindle fire logo at start up is no longer blue, it has reverted to the stock orange color.

I have the same problem with CM 10.1 with the splash screen. It loads through FFF 1.4 and gets to the spinning splash screen which appears to be half off the screen and just sticks there. I used the 0102 version of the JB 4.2.1 CM10.1 SGT7 rom by twapriv. When I flashed it using TWRP 2.2.2.1 it said "successful". I try to install the 121212 Gapps zip and it wouldn't work, saying unable to unzip. However, after a reboot the splash screen does what I just mentioned.
It appears we aren't the only ones though (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051331&page=24) according to stewtang's post. I guess I'll retry to flash an older version and see if that works. Anyone have this problem and found a fix for it?

I have always been able to get into recovery. However, I did find that my /system/bin/sh file and all other system files are completely missing. I have yet to fix this, as this could be some of my problems. I don't know I'm still a noob at this. I have reflashed TWRP 2.2.2.1 while in fastboot mode using a factory cable. I just bought one for $6 on ebay from a US seller. Using this cable I find that the KFU works more like it should. It actually tells what boot mode status is currently instead of just saying unknown.
I know I did something wrong or out of order when I tried to root my KF because it is very difficult to do an ADB PUSH command successfully. It takes a few reboots and then a trial and error until it works right. As for the latest 0102 update for CM10.1 and SGT7, I haven't been able to get passed the cyanogen splash screen.
I would like to know if that update includes all the files necessary to run JB 4.2.1 or is it a completely different OS altogether? Again, uber noob here.

So a question for both of you. Did you do a clean install (wipe everything but SD card)? Also does it hang on the CM screen or does it endlessly reboot? Did either of you have previous ROMs installed?
When I installed CM10.1 on my friend's kf, at first that happened. I don't know what happened, but it took me a couple tries before it worked. Try redownloading the ROM and Gapps, and remember to wipe everything beforehand, and wiping cache before flashing Gapps.

Yes. I performed a clean install and unfortunately I am unable to re-flash anything. When the kindle boots it endlessly stays on the cm splash screen and I can't enter recovery or use the kfu.

Looks like you may not have FFF so you probably can't get into TWRP... Have a look at this thread.

So for you, when you turn on from off, possibly from a hard force-restart, what do you see? The original orange kf logo? And it goes straight to the swirling cm logo?

Yes that is what I see, but before I flashed it the kindle fire logo was blue.

I had the same thing happen to me when I flashed my kindle fire demo unit with CM10.1, it turned out to be some sort of an issue with the twrp recovery when I reflashed it with the cotr recovery that the kindle fire utility program also has as a alternate this worked just fine. I did notice that when I tried to use twrp to wipe my unit it didn't seem to fully wipe the unit. doing the same thing under cotr took longer.
The reason I think it was twrp is that no matter what version of CM10.1 I used be it a nightly or the M3 experimental build, it would still just show the distorted logo and never finish booting. this happened even after I wiped the /system and cleared cache and dalvik cache.
After I flashed cotr recovery I did the same thing again using the exact same zip files for CM10.1 and gapps and it worked this time.
I have a similar problem with you guys. My Kindle is showing the orange logo and then continues to the CyanogenMod animation where it loops infinitely. The logo is also off center, half of it is off the screen. I cannot enter the recovery mode in any way. KFU shows it as online but unknown boot status. ADB shows it as offline.
Any suggestions on how to fix it? Will I need a factory cable?
I'm in the same boat, tried soupkit in linux and no dice, windows recognize a device while the CM logo is looping but the kindle drivers or adb drivers do nothing.

In both of your cases, if you don't have FireFireFire installed which will allow you to access recovery with the power button, you need a factory cable. And remember to factory reset next time.

I did, I was going to sell it with CM10, I rebooted, did a factory reset, reinstalled cm.zip and gapps.zip and rebooted....lost firefirefire and stuck on CM logo. If I buy or make the factory cable, will it be easy to "revive"?
Edit: Saw it on eBay for $4.45 free shipping

Make a backup in TWRP when booting hold the power button until it says recovery and then wipe factory reset and install ROM again.

Hi Vlasp, I think the recovery is also corrupted Its just powering off my device and when I tried to boot using recovery its just come back to password normal screen.
I tried to connect to PC and tried to install again the TWRP but the Kindle Fire Utilities says my device is Offline: Any more things we can try?

Hi,
Manage to resolve the issue now using made to own factory cable
Hello, I installed TWRP onto my kindle fire using KFU. I noticed some errors during the install but let it finish. Now it will not boot into recovery when selected it just hangs a bit then boots normal. I have tried several times to install it again but when its told to go into fast boot mode it just stays on white and blue logo screen saying press power button for boot menu. Any idea how I can fix this???
Thanks in advance!
When the device hangs at the blue and white Kindle Fire logo, that means it's in fastboot.
Use it to install TWRP manually.

if you was on the 8.5.1 version ignore all the kindle fire first aide stuff and just use regular command prompt ran as administrator, use the recovery file from link i posted and flash with fastboot assuming you have that working and that should put the kindle back into factory reset mode on next boot after the "erasing using data" step, if you make it to that step without problems it could take up to 45 minutes to erase user data, just let it run until complete. hope this helps

Messed up bootloader is why you getting red screen, reflash the bootloader to fix this, or at least get you going where you can flash recovery files which will allow you to enter factory recovery and it actually work instead of looping each time after choosing to reset to factory
