I had a rooted kindle fire 1st gen with twrp installed and attempted to install a custom rom and gapps. Once completed the kindle rebooted and went into the kindle fire logo then into cyanogenmod logo where it now sits for hours. Tried kindle fire utility and unbrick utility but it states "adb status: online bootmode : unknown". I have uninstalled and installed the drivers but nothing changes it still states bootmode unknown. I need to get back to twrp ..help! plz thanks

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.....
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

Thank you so much, you're the best!:laugh:
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.

I can get it into recovery, I can get the mac to recognize device, i have downloaded the stock through amazon but when I try to install keeps giving me error on update.zip file. Please help me.

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!!!

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
