When you push files to the device, reboot and see if they're still there.

Thank you for responding.. yes, the files are there.
I found out what was wrong on my last attempt before i went home for the night.
On the advanced options i had the "test" check mark on.. unchecked it and problem solved.. Got it up and running.. 4 hours of research = 1 checkmark off ha.. lesson learned.

yeah when you restore to stock it wipes out fff and twrp and your root so use kfu to install twrp and fff again no need to root if your gonna flash a rom just make sure you allow installation from unknown sources under device once you can access twrp make a backup that you will later rename noroot631 then flash to you liking
It says on KFU ADB Statusnline Boot Status: Unknown, and when i try to install twrp it doesnt do anything And when i try to reset it to factory it says failed to mount /cache(no such file directory) At the end.

Keep working with your drivers It says online
What????
He means, make sure your drivers are installed correctly. You can check out tutorials and stuff on YouTube.
My kindle fire doesnt even boot up to the home screen. It says "Your Kindle has detected a problem and must clear App storage. The recovery process will erase applications and data from your debice. Apps from the appstore are stored in the cloud and can be reinstalled later. This will reset your kindit to its orgional factory settings. You will need to re-register your Kindle prior to downloading items from you Amazon account. Please press the power button to proceed." So when i press the power button it says reseting then is said "failed to mount /cache."
It doesn't reset back to factory. WHy is that??
any ideas?
Bump...
Cause you messed up your partitions using parted and then flashed stock who knows what you broke if I had to guess I bet something isn't mounting like your cache or SD card
Hello i need some help to fix my kindle fire. I was using the kf utility to try and root my fire and some how deleted my system files so when it reboots it goes to the twrp screen and when I try to reboot from there it says there is an error and system wont boot. I just got my kf a week ago and I am perplexed with fixing it, being I am used to Android 4.0, I would be thankfull for any help i could get.
Thanks very much racerx....
Download a rom on your computer. Hook the fire up to the usb port. In twrp, mount the sdcard and push the rom to the kindle. Unmount and install the rom from twrp. Reboot and enjoy.

In TWRP go to mount, and mount as a USB drive. Then side-load a rom into any of the sd card folders. Custom rom or if you want to return to stock Kindle, download the latest update, change it from a bin to a .zip file, and load that.
Then, still in TWRP, choose to install the rom you loaded, and let it go from there.
Hah, didn't see Ixthusdan's reply, or else I wouldn't have posted dup info, sorry!
Install this Jelly Bean ROM. Sweetest thing ever.

Hey guys, trying to root this kindle for my friend. Ive two so far. I dunno what happened but I'm stuck in TWRP. I was using kindle fire utility 0.9.6 did option 2 to install super user, then went to option 3 and it froze up so I powered on and off, now the fire is booting into this TWRP and I have no idea how to install the hellfile rom that I want. the ROM is not on the sd card and I can't get it to mount so I can view it on my computer when plugged in.
i need help!!!
UPDATE*
I just ran # 4 while rebooting and it seemed to install CWR..now I'm back to what appears to be stock kindle software. wtfff is going on
you definately do not want cwmr...
Did the ROM maybe go to a download folder? Once you get into twrp do a backup first thing then factory wipe, wipe(not format) cache and dalvik. Then hit install and browse the files/folders until you find your ROM and install. Reboot system. And yeah...dump cwm.
And you should really try installing su thru the recovery and try your hand at adb..
I've successfully rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and installed TWRP. I then put the zip file provided by Hashcode onto my device, wiped my cache and dalvik cache, and proceeded to install the new ROM.
After a successful install, I rebooted. It optimizes 65 installed apps, and then reboots again. An hour later the Cyanogen Mod logo is still spinning. I figured that was long enough to assume something went wrong. I powered down, went into TWRP and tried to mount storage so I could replace the Cm10.1 file with my backup files to go back to Stock. I'm receiving the following error when trying to mount storage though:
Code:
E:Unable to locate volume information for USB storage mode.
So I attempted using ADB Sideload, but at no point have I managed to get my Kindle recognized by the ADB server. I appear to be in some hell where my device still "works," but I have no way to put anything on it to fix it.
My last option appears to be fastboot. I am able to get into fastboot mode on the Kindle, though I don't know what to do with it. I'm familiar with all the other steps from my original Kindle Fire, but I never got this deep into it. Wanted to see if someone could give me some direction before I really break this thing.
Update: Alright, so between the FAQ (Item 11) and Hashcode's instructions on restoring backups I've managed to get my Kindle back to stock. I panicked and posted prematurely, so sorry for crapping up the forum. Shout outs to Hashcode and Soupmagnet for their posts.
Hello.
I have a KF 1st generation. I had rooted it some time back and then un-rooted it (thought I did?) and haven't had an issue. This week it started loading up and freezing on the Kindle Fire orange and white logo. I am able to boot it to Recovery which gives me Cannibal Open Touch screen and options. I did try a few of the options but still the same end result. After coming here and reading around I found a thread and I followed the directions since the original poster and I seemed to have the same issue. There are the steps I followed:
Step 1) Download MoDaCo Rom/Any other ROM BUT NOT ANY KITKAT ROM(COTR can NOT flash KitKat)
Step 2) Transfer your ROM while in recovery
Step 3) Do a preflash wipe
Step 4) Do a factory reset
Step 5) Go to 'Install -> Install from SD Card -> Folder where you put your ROM
Step 6) Click Install without Backup
Step 7) Boot Android
I downloaded [ROM] 14 Jun Gr9 (6.3.1) - MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Kindle Fire and made it to Step 5 using the 'Zip Flashing' option but I can't seem to flash or sideload or any of those options. While the Kindle is plugged into the computer I hear the noise and when I find my Kindle it has a Yellow Triangle with a !. I looked at the Kindle and it tells me I have no drivers and I am not able to drag and drop any files. Also, not sure if it matters but I am no longer using the computer used to root the Kindle.
the rebooting is the new 6.3.3 update trying to install, but because you have custom bootloader/recovery install fails.
may need to install twrp recovery. but my prerooted 6.3.3 zip sbould install fine.

@sd_shadow I appreciate the reply and the twrp file but can you lead me to the direction to getting them to the KF? I can plug the KF into the computer and it no longer gives me the triangle ! sign. I am unsure of the next step and don't wanna mess anything up with unnecessary stuff. Thank You again :good:

I have been trying to figure this out and searching but I can't seem to figure this out. I am uploading the screen I have on my KF and I don't know how to mount the file. I can't find a thread that will kind of walk me though it so if you know where I should go that would be great. I am uselessly pretty good with figuring things out so maybe I'm making this harder than it looks?

Victory!
First off TY for the time you took to get me to the finish line. :victory:
I will admit trying to mount was a nightmare. I couldn't figure out how to do it so after hours of playing around and trying to find anything to try I finally succeed by installing the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility (again) and running KindleUnbrick.bat file and installing the TWRP that way. Once that worked (and believe me I didn't think it would work since I tried this a few times) and I yelled WOOT, I followed the rest of your directions from "In TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) select Mount check sd card and tap mount USB Storage" and installed your prerooted 6.3.3 zip and finished off your directions and have myself my dear reading buddy back. I APPRECIATE deeply the time you took to get me back. :highfive:
I want to add for anyone who is looking though threads looking for help with the same issue. If you are trying to get the TWRP file on your Kindle download the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility and then running the RUN file and follow the directions.
great, Glad I could help.
I have tried to use the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility a few times, with little success.
I would only suggest it, if nothing else is working, but does work in some situations.
