Hey I tried like many other people here to get twrp2.0 on to my Kindle Fire 6.2.2.
the twrp installation stocked at the Yellow Triangle. I set the boot normal option and I can Boot to the Kindle Fire OS.
But I still have the firefirefire boot loader with the Yellow Triangle on my Device when booting.
Is there any chance to remove it? I read some people did a update from 6.2.1 to 6.2.2. But I already have 6.2.2 installed. Is there any other way to remove it?
Or is there any other bootloader I can Use I would so like to install Android ICS on my Kindle Fire.
why do you want to remove it ?
it is your "safety net" to get to recovery in case of a failure !
fff and a recovery (twrp or cwm) are the most important things to have on a rooted kf to avoid realy complicated bricks
because it is not working I can not boot in to the recovery mode so it is useless for me I think so I just want to go back to the Original Firmware.
that will not help you
if you want to install a other rom then you need twrp
the trwp install failure is very common and very easy to fix:
download twrp from http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
rename it to "recovery.img" and copy it over the bad file in the recovery folder of kfu
then do the install again - you'll see it works
I am curious about restoring the factory kindle software myself. Not because I don't like cm. Everything works great including firefirefire, twrp, and cm9. I have just installed cm on a few kindles that don't belong to me and I know sooner or later someone is going to say, "I want my original software back" I am assuming the process will be as easy as using twrp to install a stock.zip or similar for a stock rom? In the event they want to have the original kindle boot logo, will that be as simple as using adb to issue a simple DD if=stockboot.img of=/some/blkdev/on/kindle? Thanks in advance

I followed these instructions but TWRP 2.0 seems to be stuck. It says "Factory reset started" and then "Factory reset complete" twice. Then "E:Unable to open zip file." I renamed the bin file to Update.zip as instructed.
Is it OK to try and get out of this and reboot back to TWRP?

I face a similar issue. My KF automatically shut down and goes into the yellow triangle loop while watching YouTube. And it got stuck in the yellow triangle attempted to fastboo to normal boot. Within the few second it **** down and goes into the yellow triangle.
I just want to restore my kf to the stock firmware how can I do that.

I am having the exact same issues but my Kindle just reboots to the triangle randomly.
It all started when I decided to re-root after my system was updated to 6.3, I was on 6.2 when I first got the Kindle and I rooted with Burrito root and it worked fine. The only reason I rooted was so I could use the Android Market, which still worked fine after the system updated to 6.3, but stupid me had to make sure it was rooted so I used the Kindle Fire utility and that’s what hosed my Kindle. Never doing that again.
Anyway, I’m trying Justin’s steps above. Ill report what happens.
Looks like Justin's solution worked for me. I’m back to the factory and there is no TWRP menu when I reboot and it’s the original Kindle Fire image on bootup. Now I just need to see if I get anymore random shut down issues.
I renamed the download to update.zip, and I see it in the root folder, but when I boot into TWRP 2.1.1, I ca't see it in the root directory. I know I named it correctly because on my PC I can open it with an archiver... What am i doing wrong?
whoops
well i f'd up. i finally got twrp to install using a different file. however, it appears that i must've accidentally hit a wrong number when installing late last night, cause it appears i also have clockworkmod installed and it superceded twrp i guess.. can't load it. Anyone got any ideas on how to remove CWM with TWRP also installed. damn what a mess.
Trying to fallback using the latest image (6.3.2) from Amazon
I followed Justin's recipe with the exception of the Amazon load image version. I used the latest stable one instead.
My TWRP version is v2.5.0.0 - another potential difference and it might be significant (Justin never said what version of TWRP he started with).
What follows is what I saw upon executing Justin's steps 16-18.
Updating partition details...
Running boot script...
Finished running boot script.
Installing '/sdcard/update.zip' ...
Checking for MD5 file ...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found (True, there isn't one in the ZIP file)

E:unknown command [err_string]
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/update.zip'

Updating partition details... (meaningless as the process failed with an error)
---------------------------
1. Anyone else see these symptoms? Have a work-around or solution?
2. Any other suggestions?
My goal is to sell my Kindle Fire 1st generation with only Amazon software on it. TWRP yellow distraction - while it hurts nothing it is a scare for most purchasers.
Thank you for any assistance.

So I formatted my rooted kindle fire with twrp installed, now whenever I boot I go straight to the TWRP menu, why can/t I boot into a fresh stock ROM?
i assume you told it to boot to recovery (in cm7)
you can use kfu option 1 - bootmode normal
or manually:
adb shell idme bootmode 4000
adb reboot

I'm having the same problem, I went into KFU and set option 1 and it shows this
***********************************************
* Activating Normal (4000) *
***********************************************
but doesnt go any further
When trying to install a ROM it says....
E:Cannot load volume /misc!......but it's right after it says that the ROM was installed
where do I insert the command for adb...........for KFU it is reading the Kindle Fire but for some reason when trying to set option 1 it doesn't go further.
It might be good to know that I deleted alot on the Fire in Windows explorer before this happened. Right now on my Kindle fire my
folders are Android, .android_secure, LOST.DIR and TWRP
files are fix_permissions, 3 ROMS, lol- Databasefile, and .config_c38
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Typing this:

adb reboot
In ADB should fix both of y'alls problems
sweetness, Not only did I just learn how to actually use ADB, but it also worked
THANKS
ok that worked great. But any idea why this is happening and how to avoid it from happening in the future?
I'm having the same problem, with "activating normal" stuck.
I also cannot input the command input adb shell idme bootmode 4000 or adb shell in command prompt.
It says that 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

it's a good practice to move kfu to c:\ and rename it to "kfu"
now open a (elevated) command prompt and cd to c:\kfu\tools
now the adb command should work ...

I am having the same problem here is exactly what i did
rooted
installed android market
installed twrp
made backup in twrp
flashed ics
wasnt happy with the performance of some apps on ics and there were quite a lot of stalls and complete freezes so i used the backup i made in twrp to restore back to original kf rom
most of my apps wouldnt worked and asked me to reinstall them through the kf market. i was unable to access the kf market or the android market as it said there was no connection and to retry even though i could access my email through mail and the internet through browser no problem.
then i decided to do a factory reset through kf rom settings and now twrp starts automatically anytime i try to turn on the kf. i tried to do the recovery again with the backup but the restore factory settings had obviously deleted it along with everything else on the sd card.
has anyone any ideas on how i can get back to the stock kf rom? I am happy with stock kf until hardware acceleration works with ics
thanks in advance

You need to flash a new ROM. If you need to go back to Amazon stock ROM, then you need to download and flash it. Please note FFF and TWRP will be over written by the stock ROM.

thanks for the reply
I just tried to do this. i mounted the kf and moved the stock rom .zip file to the kf. when i mounted it however instead of seeing the usual list of files and folders and selecting the cdcard folder i could only see the twrp folder and nothing else. when I am in twrp i can see the other folders but not when it is mounted to the computer.
i tried anyway and there were numerous errors in the process that i didnt have time to write down
now when i start up the kindle fire it stops on the kindle fire logo screen
any ideas?
It looks like the KF is booting into fast boot mode.
You may use kfu to change the mode to normal or issues the following adb commands
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
or
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
then fastboot reboot
If the KF boots to recovery mode i.e. twrp then mount the sdcard and flash the desired ROM.

I have been working on this for over four hours. I have done absolutely everything that is said to do.
Heres my symptoms:
Turn Kindle Fire on and i get the yellow triangle, after a few seconds I get the curtain that says "teamwin" then it just opens TWRP. I cannot get it to boot normally.
I have SDK and ADB. This is the last screen I got from ADB.
C:\Users\Jeff\Desktop\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme boo
tmode 4000
< waiting for device >
When I try to do it thru KFU:
ADB Status: Offline
Boot Status: Unkown
I tried hitting 1 then 1 again and all I get is <waiting for device>
The Kindle is just sitting here with the TWRP screen on and I have no idea how to get around it.

Fastboot only works in fastboot mode (4002). When you are in recovery or booted into an OS, you have to use adb to reset the bootmode. To get back to normal...
Code:
adb shell idme bootmode 4000
As a side note, the "-i 0x1949" should be dropped when you are using the FIREFIREFIRE bootloader (yellow triangle boot logo). The "-i 0x1949" is only necessary in the stock bootloader (kindle fire boot logo).

You're quoting someone from early March. I'm guessing you probably wont hear from them very soon.
On the other hand, if you're willing to start a new thread and explain in great detail what your "similar" problem is, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the quickness in which somebody responds.

I foolishly let someone try to root my Kindle Fire, and now it is stuck in what seems to be the TWRP boot loop (the kindle fire is blue and white). If I leave it alone unplugged it will occasionally continue to the Kindle Fire orange and white screen but will not go any farther. From the Blue/white screen I can hit the power button to enter the boot menu where I get Normal Boot, Recovery, and Reset Boot Mode. I can enter TWRP recovery menus, but otherwise it just keeps rebooting. Once in the TWRP recovery screen I can only navigate for a short time before it locks up and I have to reboot by holding the power button in. The sd card will not mount, and they did not backup anything before they started messing with the os. Ive tried the Kindle Fire utility but it says device not found. The Kindle showed up in my device manager as Other-Kindle before I installed the android drivers mentioned in another thread, and now it is under Android Phone- Android ADB Interface. It doesnt show up in My Computer at all. I've read about the factory cable but cant find on in the US so it would take 2 weeks to get here from China. Any suggestions on how to fix this, or do I now have a $200 paperweight? Thanks in advance.

Maybe go into twrp and do a factory reset. Can you get to that menu? Click wipe and then factory reset.
I've tried the factory reset but it seems to have no effect on it. How do I do the adb push? I've tried using the command prompt to run some of the commands on other threads but I'm not doing something right. I always get an 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file error.
I'll apologize now for my stupidity on this one- I have never worked with android software before this.
The kindle fire utility reads:
ADB status: Offline
Boot Status: Unknown
I can get it to boot in normal and recovery mode, but each time I try to boot in Fastboot I get an error message 'Oops... something went wrong. We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire. Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.' The Kindle shows up in Device Manager under Android Phone as Android ADB Interface
When using the twrp, anything that involves writing to or wiping the sd card receives this error E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)
I'd appreciate any help I can get. I'm at a standstill on this one.
im in the same position you can open it as a USB by selecting mount in TWRP and selecting mount USB Storage
do you have drivers / ADB on your computer ?
I did manage to get my kindle go into a recovery boot loop by doing the root procedure for the original 6.3 original Amazon ROM while my kindle had the 6.2 ROM . After i realized that the root procedure (intended for ver 6.3) didn't work for me, I had to try the procedure for rooting ver. 6.2.
It worked but after a couple of resets, the tablet went into a recovery boot loop.
what i did was to use ADB comands:
enter windows - > start command prompt (start - > run -> cmd)
check if kindle is connected: adb devices
if the device is found then use:
adb shell
su
idme bootmode 4000
exit
Hi all, I'm having a problem with my Kindle Fire. It is automatically booting into TWRP no matter what I do.
I have wiped everything, and installed the stock ROM, and when I reboot it just goes back to TWRP.
There is always a message of *verifying file system and *verifying partition. I can mount it and move files via USB.
In the fire utility it reads
ADB Status: Online
Boot Status: Unknown
If I try to change the bootmode it comes back waiting for device. I then got into the command line.
Doing "adb devices" shows it as being in recovery. I can reboot it from here, but goes right back to twrp.
I tried to do the adb shell--> su--> idme bootmode 4000
but after I do the shell it comes back that "su" isn't valid. I'm assuming I am doing something wrong, but I can't
for the life of me figure it out...any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

At startup hold thepower button untill you see the bootmenu come up and select "normal boot"
On the Kindle itself you mean? There is no bootmenu. I get the Kindle Fire (Orange) text, then goes straight to twrp, and if I do normal reboot from there, just straight back to twrp.

What version of TWRP do you have?
2.2.0
From twrp try booting into recovery that worked once for me to get a normal boot. Then make sure you put the fire fire fire bootloader on there so it never happens again

Tried it, no go.
This is what I get in the command line
The "<[6n" is likely the result of pressing the up or down arrow with number lock turned off and it is causing the command to be unrecognized.
Regardless, there's no need to use the "adb shell su -c..." command to get into fastboot. Instead use Pokey9000's bootmode binary "fbmode".

As you can see, the "adb shell" command is successful because of the change in the prompt.
~ # <-indicates the shell is working and active, so the actual /path of adb is irrelavent.

That seems promising, but this is what I got when I tried it.
Also, thanks for your help everyone, I'm learning a lot as I go here!
Hello people!
I'm having a hard time here.
I've rooted my device, and instaled a recovery method (not the TWRP, a red letter one), wiped cache and dalvik, flashed jandycane room and now i'm stuck on loop triangle boot.
In KFU my device are online and in normal boot (4000), but any options seems to work. He don't appear o pc and i'm already removed a re installed the drivers.
PS: I don't flashed GApps.
I tryied to enter in recovery mode but I get this:
I'm trying to but, but when I try to enter in recovery mode, i get this:
The system cannot find the drive specified.
Failed to Copy 'files\rcmode' to 'data/local/rcmode' : permission denied
unable do chmode /data/local/rcmode: no such file or directory
/system/bin/sh: data/local/rcmode: not found
I'm lost here, please help!

The TWRP.img file that comes with KFU is not TWRP. If I had to guess, it probably uses wget to download the file, for legal reasons? Maybe? Who knows? Replacing it with one downloaded from the TWRP website would probably be the easiest route.

You're going to have to clarify that a bit. Stuck where? The Kindle Fire screen? If so what does it look like?
The situation changes.
I dunno ecxactly i did, but my KF begins to stuck in the KF logo Screen, not anymore on loop triangles and windows begin to see my device.
So I tried the fastboot commands, but choose wrong:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
and now my KF stuck in triangles loop again and the windows can't se him anyomre.
What does your Kindle Fire logo look like?

Kindle Fire wrote on White and Orange.
But don't stuck there, after the logo disapear the triangles begin to turn in loop.
Try to pay attention. You are in normal bootmode, with a corrupt file system caused by CWM. When the device is "stuck" at the boot logo it is in fastboot. Fastboot mode is needed to install TWRP and a host of other activities. All of this you would understand if you had read the Kindle Fire for Beginners guide stickied at the top of the Kindle Fire General forum. You would have been directed to that page if you had read the sticky at the top of this forum, labeled "Before Asking For Troubleshooting Help...". With the exception of CWM acting up (arguably), these are the most basic of Kindle Fire problems and it is a waste of time for people to have to go over them constantly, and unecessarily.

The "red letter one" is CWM. You already have it installed. (I shouldn't have assumed you had access to it)

As I said before, that put you in normal bootmode. And, as it is said in the KFFB, you can only issue adb commands in normal mode. Issue the adb command to change the bootmode to fastboot (4002) or recovery (5001).
[Edit:]Use your command line to change the bootmode. If your computer won't detect the device for adb, there is a problem with the device drivers (also covered in the KFFB) and need to be reinstalled.

Yeah, I undestand that. The problem is that I don't know what I exactly donne to KF acept my commands. The only thing i've donne for sure is that I change the USB port, but I tryed again with no sucess.
I am stuck also at the Boot Triangles in loop - I am having the exact same problems as you are Reinaque, so just know your not the only one.
I have tried all of the different tools, but I am still stuck in the CM10 boot logo. Also I am stuck on "Waiting for device". My kindle is recognized by my computer on 4000 boot mode through KFU.... It won't allow me to write any commands through ADB... Stuck with you!
EDIT
It will not for the life of it let me get into fastboot!
Well, I don't know what to do anymore.
I tryed with another PC, installed the correct drivers and try almost every fastboot command with no sucess, the KF still don't aceppt the commands.
I will try something with firekit.
Damm, I really think that I lost my new KF =[

You didn't lose your Kindle. Check your messages.
Bricked KFHD 8.9in
Can get device into fastboot if I type "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" but only if I enter the command immediately when connecting the device.
I tried doing the process manually by getting it into fastboot and then immediately entering "fastboot flash recovery /Users/USER/Downloads/KFHD_SRT_v2.1/images/system2.img" but it says <waiting for device> as if it weren't connected.
Any ideas?
Well that is the wrong command... In that command you tried to flash the system image to the recovery partition... Replace "recovery" with "system". Also every command has to have the ”-i 0x1949” or it won't work.

So I tried it using the correct syntax and the device went into fast boot mode, and it indicated that the file was being transferred and written successfully. However, when it rebooted, a red screen appeared and went away and the fast boot mode screen appeared... now what?

I was able to flash stock system via SRT, and stock boot and stock recovery, and erased user data and cache, but my kindle fire hd89 still will not boot properly.
Error message: Your kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot
Option to factory default or reboot, have tried both options, but neither resolve issue.
Any ideas?

try reflashing it one more time, this is weird, try using kffa and see if you get any better results if the next attempt fails.
