I'm in the process of rooting my kindle fire, KFU says attempting to remove root check please wait, and it's been saying that for a while now, my kindle fire is powered on but not rooted what should I do?
Have You Tried Flashing BootLoader Fire fire fire? Or a different recovery using KFU...When I Used Kfu I Diddnt Notice Any Option For Root Checker....if you can get a custom recovery flashed...you should proceed in downloading a superuser.zip to flash in the recovery that will get you rooted...DONT just flash any superuser.zip though...find one that was made for kindle and its stock OS...or flash a stock rooted kindle OS in recovery...always backup...I had trouble with KFU so I went all the way to Linux and used the kindle fire soup kit to install a recovery...then change the boot mode to recovery...you obviously must down load a stable ROM preferably a stock enhanced one before trying the soup kit...or download it while your in Linux BEFORE attempting to flash...glad to help if I did once you get to recovery its smooth sailing

use your power button select reboot then select recovery it should take you straight to twrp. Did you install fff bootloader? if you have a white kindle with a blue fire you did when you first get to this screen after powering off use the power button to start the boot menu then select recovery this also should take you to twrp. If you have no fff bootloader use kfu to send it to your device then try again.
I have rooted my kindle fire and installed twrp and fff using kindle fire utility. With twrp I flash a jelly bean rom and now i am wanting to go back to how my kindle was out of the box. so i got an update off the internet and downloaded it to my kindle, but when i rebooted my kindle it didnt go into fff. i am just wondering is there any other way to install roms on the kindle since i cannot get into twrp. also tried to reinstall twrp and fff on kindle fire utility but it says adb status offline and will not change. please help!

Do you get a blue kindle fire logo?
When you flash with stock rom it wipes out FFF bootloader and replaces it with one from amazon.
Warning: Installing the Amazon Kindle Fire Software Update will not only replace the system software, but also overwrite the bootloader and recovery with the stock versions. Any custom bootloader and recovery like FFF and TWRP will be overwritten in the process.

But the system boots or is it stuck at this logo?
After system boot you should be able to run this command
Code:
adb devices
adb is somewhere in kfu directory

Your problem, besides not having a clue what you're doing, is you didn't wipe the necessary partitions before trying to install a new ROM. Most of the time, that results in sort of a Frankenstein of an OS that the system cannot boot normally.
Typically, with FFF installed, you can tell pretty easily what mode your device is in by looking looking at your screen. If the device hangs at the boot screen, you know it is in fastboot, or if it continues on to the boot animation, you know it's in normal mode. With the stock Kindle Fire software installed, both the bootloader's splash screen and the boot animation are the same (with the exception of brightness), so you have to use the adb to determine what state the device is in. In your case, the device is in normal boot mode, so the typical "fix" for "stuck at kindle fire logo" wouldn't apply to you.
Unfortunately, by reinstalling the Kindle Fire update.zip, you also overwrite not only the custom bootloader, but custom recovery as well, which is required to fix your problem. Reverting back to stock, simply to re-root or install a different ROM is unnecessary and a complete waste of time. Now you have to get back into fastboot mode so you can reinstall custom recovery, wipe the necessary partitions and reinstall a ROM.
If any of this sounds foreign to you, it's because you're in WAY over your head. Before you go any further, educate yourself in how and why the Kindle Fire/Android works. Doing so will greatly increase your chances of success and decrease the chances of finding yourself in another situation like this one.

i had this problem but i have a kf2 (non hd)....i also used hashcodes otter2 bootloader files....but what i did was re flash his bootloader files and it gave me twrp back........then i sideloaded my cm10.1 rom and it fixed it where i could get back to cm10.1 then i put gapps back in and everything was fine again.....but as far as me putting it back stock i'm still working on that.....youll have to get it into fastboot mode with a fastboot factory cable to reflash your bootloader files again....it worked for me but i am using a kf2 though.....

Were you just running rooted Stock?
Or were you running a ROM?

Clockwork recovery is obsolete and will not work with any of the newer ROMs, so you'll need to update. COTR is a really good alternative based on Clockwork so the transition shouldn't be too difficult.
Do you have FireFireFire installed? What is the first thing you see when the device boots?

Did you try to update TWRP and cause the bootloop or did it just start doing it?
It just started doing. I installed custom rom which worked a few days then the boot loop. I still have recovery on it because I can get to recovery. I don't think I backed up before installing rom but when I connect to Mac it recognizes the device

Please get your KF2 into Fastboot (USING THE FASTBOOT CABLE), and restore stock to your device and TRY AGAIN USING POWERPOINT45's METHOD. DO NOT USE KF1's KINDLE FIRE UTILITY. IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, REFER TO KINDLE FIRE FIRST AIDE (KFFirstAide).
DERP!!!
