Deleting files from the system folder only affects the current rom(or as you call it, operating system) and doesn't affect ADB or the TWRP recovery program. You can use TWRP to install a new rom, even the stock Kindle rom.
I can't post links, so search google for "kindle fire software update" and you should find amazon's page to download the latest stock rom for the kindle fire. Rename the file to update.zip and transfer it to the storage on your kindle. You can then use TWRP to select the zip file and re-install the stock kindle rom. This WILL break your root, so use the Kindle Fire utility that's linked in the development forum if you want to re-root your kindle.
If you don't have TWRP installed, try using the Kindle Fire Utility (in the development forum) to install TWRP or recover your kindle fire. I hope this helps!

TWRP is the recovery program that you can boot into before the rom loads. You can use the Kindle Fire Utility to install TWRP. If the kindle fire utility isn't working, you can try installing TWRP manually, but you will also need to install FireFireFire, which is the boot loader that replaces the stock kindle loader and allows you to boot into TWRP.
The most important thing is to have ADB access. If you can plug the kindle fire into your PC and get ADB working, you can fix pretty much anything.

How i can be sure that adb is working?

download the latest kfu from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
extract to c:\ and rename "kindle fire utility" to "kfu"
cd to c:\kfu and run "install_drivers.bat"
cd to c:\kfu\tools and type:
"adb devices" - get a response ?
"fastboot devices" - get a respose ?
you should get a response from one of the commands

I have to mention when in b63 post where your in the tools folder it easier to right click inside that folder in an empty space within it, and then press the keyboard's shift key for an option from the right clicked dropdown to open a command prompt window right there. Then type adb devices followed by enter key. Optimum would be a device ##000000000 sorta output in that tiny window , whereas then you could close it and click run in the kindle fire utility from the download. You can see more options to root your device to here with "status info".

Same problem

>>> Hi, I have the same problem here. I accidentally deleted my rooted KF system with no rom saved on my KF (I'm a noob). Now, I did the steps you mentioned above.
This is what I have:
-When I typed ad devices it says "list of devices attached :15FE000600000001"
-Got nothing when typed "fastboot devices.
-On KFU it says" adb statusnline', "boot status:unknown".
-I can't install the Fastboot mode on the KF because it stays on waiting for device.
-My pc recognizes the Kindle as a device on the Device Manager, but I can't explore it because it doesn't show up on My Computer.
-I have already unistalled, deleted, re-install the drivers many times. The one that comes with KFU only makes the adb status go offline. The only driver that makes it show on the computer is the one I get when I connect the KF to the computer and let it download a driver by itself.
Please tell me, what can I do to make it show up so I can paste the rom on the device.

You're getting confused with how adb and fastboot work. I suggest reading this to get a better understanding.

Thanks, I have read it like 3 times, it's just a little confusing for someone dealing with rooting for the first time. What I get is that I need to get the KF come up on Windows so I can paste the rom into the KF and that the KF needs to be in fastboot to install the rom.
Anyway, now the Kindle shows up on KFU as "online" and the bootmode is "4000", but still nothing comes up on the explorer. Twrp is installed and I'm able to load it, but I did not make a Backup. How can I install the system again?

If twrp is installed when you boot into it click on mount, then click mount usb, this is the only way it's going to show up as a mass storage device on your pc so that you can transfer a rom over to it.

Put both zips on your sdcard in zip form, wipe factory/data reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash rom zip, flash gapps zip, reboot then system if prompted.

Thank you so much!!! :laugh:
I have done what you told me and my Kindle is now working. It's already downloading my files from the cloud.
(Sorry for the long reply, I had to go to work.)

Very good you`re welcome.

[Q] Kindle Fire keeps looping Kindle Fire logo

So I've read the similar threads, no clear answer.
I've searched the forums with no real clear answer.
So before I continue, I just want to make sure that this is correct.
Kindle Fire turns on, I have fully charged it overnight, and it still boot loops. The Kindle Fire logo comes on, flashes on and off, logo shows again with the logo glimmering, and then turns off and back on. It starts the process over. Very rarely will it go all the way to the arrow that you slide but you can't ever slide it over to get in, it just restarts.
So from my understanding is that the shell is corrupt and I need a factory cable to force fastboot. Is this correct? Thank you for reading my post.

Not necessarily. If you are talking about the stock "Kindle Fire" logo. Skip to the second half.
If you are talking about the FFF1.3 Kindle Fire logo with the Andy above it, you should be able to get into recovery, so long as you flashed a recovery.
If this is the case, start the kindle and watch the power button. When it dims press it a few times. It should change to an orange/amber color after a few presses and then boot into your recovery. From there you can load a rom and get yourself back on track.
If you have the stock bootloader, I'm not sure this will work for you, but it won't hurt to try. Worst case you are out the time it took you to make the USB.
As I found out yesterday, fastboot occurs so quick that Windows might not have the chance to discover and install drivers. So if you have a USB drive, create a firekit LiveUSB.
Once you have a LiveUSB and have booted off it and started firekit, try running normal_boot and then, when powered off, plug the kindle into the computer. With luck, it will reboot and start up into your rom.
If you are unlucky, try install_fff_twrp. Again have the kindle off, and connect it to the USB.
If that does not work try again with install_fff_twrp_from_stock as a last ditch effort.
If that fails, get your factory cable. You can try the other commands too, but I wouldn't hold your breath. But, if it works great.

ok well first off when I first turn it on, I get the yellow fire warning sign that states at the bottom to push the power button for recovery.
I'm getting things to install just fine but anytime it has anything to do with ADB, it does not work. It doesn't work with a regular cable nor the factory cable. Everytime it states that device is not found.
From what I've read the drivers are working properly if I'm able to use fastboot and it shows up in the device manager as a Android Phone > Android ADB Device.
The only time I can keep it recognized by the computer is with the factory cable.
If I use the regular cable, it recognizes it for a second then boots into TWRP but the computer doesn't see the Kindle anymore.
All I'm needing to do is reinstall STOCK Firmware. When I first got it, it just boot looped.

Use the factory cable to change your bootmode to 4000. Reboot, then turn it off and let it charge. It sounds like you are stuck in fastboot mode (4002) with a dead battery, and if I'm not mistaken the device won't charge in fastboot. The factory cable forces fastboot mode, bypasses the battery and provides power directly to the device which is why you are able to issue fastboot commands with the cable.

Charged
When I am not working on it, I plug it back up to the charger to charge, so charging isn't the problem. TWRP states that the battery is 98% charged when I unplug it.

in twrp you have to manually mount the system and sd card from mount options!
Mount the sd card, save the kindle update bin file, renaming it to update.zip and install from twrp

[Note to self:] Avoid using XDA while on Ambien.

Not necessarily true when using Windows and KFU. Sometimes you still have to uninstall/delete your drivers and reinstall again.

If it boots directly into TWRP, then you have your bootmode set to recovery.

If all you want to do is reinstall stock this is easy to fix. Go to the Amazon Kindle website and download the latest 6.3 update. It will be in a .bin format.
Change the name of the update.bin to update.zip
Boot your Kindle to TWRP
Go to "Mount" and mount your SDcard
You should see "[X] Unmount Sdcard" before pressing "Mount to USB"
Your device's sdcard will show up on your computer
Place the newly renamed update.zip on your sdcard
Go to "Install" and flash the update.zip
When installed, the update.zip will turn everything back the way it was when you turned it on for the first time.

In TWRP, it will not let me select Mount SD Card, it will only let me select Mount System. :X

The only option I know of besides Linux liveUSB Firekit, would require you to format your sdcard and you would lose all of your data. You might be able to mount your system folder to transfer files and just flash it in TWRP from there but I've never tried it. If that doesn't work and you don't mind erasing your whole sdcard...
Boot into recovery (TWRP)
Get your command prompt ready with adb in your present working directory (if you're not sure type: dir )
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
That will mount sdcard to your computer like an external drive. You'll probably have to format it. In Windows, select Quick Format > FAT32 > block size 4096.
Just make sure that the volume you are formatting is your sdcard (>5Gb) You should be able to move your update.zip to it then.

May be am missing something here, but why can't he "adb push update.zip sdcard/Download" and Flash it from twrp?

I tried to install [JB 4.3.1] CM10.2/SGT7 [20131022] and now bootlogo CM is looping. Tried reinstall but result is the same. I can enter in FFF, TWRP is installed. What should i do?

Do a Google for adb side load
Once you are in TWRP, you should be able to push the ROM to you KF2.
If your ADB drivers are playing up, have a look at booting from an Ubuntu live CD, then installing Soup kit from this of the dev forum.

If you read the instructions in the SoupKit thread, you'll find that on a LiveUSB there is no root password.

[Q] Please help, Accidentally deleted ROM, Backup Failed

I havent used this tablet in a long time due to the fact that I accidentally deleted the rom and my backup wont work. The problem is I cant access my sdcard now through twrp. My computer doesnt recognize the kindle at all. I'm not the most savy person when it comes to all this, and I rooted this thing a long time ago following instructions. I never had any problem uploading new roms and wiping etc. and can usually figure the problem out. I installed the drivers necessary, attempted to abt sideload. Please help me get my kindle back! Its been a long time.

Windows? 7 or 8?
try installing Drivers with Kindle Fire Utility's install.drivers.bat, then reboot pc

I did so, but just in case I didnt do it right I tried again. My computer is about to be found before I go to into Recovery on TWRP but not after, but even when its found..its only in my device manager, not under device so that I could add files to the sdcard..Windows 7 btw.

My PC wouldn't access SD card but while in twrp on device, on pc opened cmd in folder with adb and 'adb devices' saw my device. Was able to 'adb push' files to /sdcard/ that way. I was in twrp, had no backup, lost root and system was wiped. Nothing but twrp was on here. Which I had to revert to stock unrooted and reroot the device but it came out fine.

I'm not the smartest when it comes to rooting my Kindle fire 1 and erased the ROM also. Could you be more explicit on how you accessed the SDcard on the kindle when twrp is running? I have windows 7 and the 0.9.9 utility downloaded but I haven't run it yet.

OK! I figured it out! I had a wonky USB cable! Once I replaced it I was able to copy the update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.zip into the Kindle. I tried to flash it but TWRP reported that it could not open the zip. I had the update-kindle-6.3.2_D01E_4110520.zip file also D/L'd and copied it to the Kindle. That file flashed and the Kindle booted back up to 6.3.2 stock KF1.
Many Many thanks to sd_Shadow for pointing me the right way and shoving REALLY hard!
