I'm sure that for you, this is not amusing. But for me, its funny for so many reasons. We'll fix you up, don't worry. But first let me explain a few things.
When you make any alterations to Amazon's proprietary Kindle Fire interface such as rooting or installing custom recovery, you void your warranty and in the process waive certain benefits like Amazon customer service.
But since you have already done that, you want to make sure you have good fail safes to protect your investment. Of course one of those fail safes is custom recovery (TWRP). Removing it at this point with the skill level you are at right now is a VERY BAD IDEA.
The good news is, your Kindle is not broken. In fact, its doing exactly what it was designed to do, although its pretty hard for you to see that at the moment.
So the first thing you need to do is read this

And come back when you are done

I'm guessing thousands of people have used TWRP successfully to get ROMs installed, so I suspect something else is going on. Maybe you'd like to give this a read...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
so you can get an idea of how things work. Then if you want to explain...
1) what you did so far and how you did it
2) how you are trying to install ROMs
3) exactly what your Kindle Fire is doing
I or someone else here can help you get where you are going. Whether that's flashing a new rom or going back to stock, that's up to you.
As a side note, calling Amazon to tell them you've voided the warranty by flashing unauthorized software and then asking for help is probably not a good idea.
EDIT: There were no replies yet when I started typing.
Next Step
Alright I have read the thread from that link, now what is the next step?
It could be the cable. When you download stuff, always try at least 5 times. I always have to anyway.
Haha to calling Amazon by the way.

Lol, to calling Amazon. Stick in there buddy a few months ago I was also a totl noob. It gets easier and there are lots of peeps here that can help you with pretty much any problem. A little bit of searching help too. What I do before I even start downloading ROM's, mod's or, add-ons, I do a bit of research. That way I where to look again if I bork something.
kindle gen 1 twrp
Hey I have a KF 1st gen that I have rooted. Currently it is I guess stuck in twrp. It is holding the blue and white KF logo. I can use the power button to go into boot mode/twrp to reboot. However once past that area it will immediately power down. And truly I would liketo go back to stock rom.

KF1 flashed with TWRP 2.2.21-blaze/CM11 OtterX Nightly
Successfully flashed the above TWRP on a KF1, and then used it to install CM11 OtterX Nightly the latest (10-04-2015) build.
Now it's stuck in boot loading.
Reentering TWRP console, which I can do--I have full TWRP, but I no longer have any Zips to install from. (My SDCard was wiped.)
I've tried to use ADB to push (after struggling with the drivers) the build back to my KF1, but I find I don't have permissions set up correctly.
I did reflash TWRP as is recommended below, but that did not help the boot load freeze.
Can I use ADB to push the build back for a reinstall? Can I use fastboot to push it?
What is the proper course to recover this KF1?
BTW, I do not have a factory cable.
Thanks for the help!

TWRP 2.2.21-blaze is not compatible with any roms with "OtterX" , CM11, or CM12
"Otter" CM 11 requires Twrp 2.7.1.0 or newer

OtterX roms require OtterX bootloader, and OtterX Twrp

what's the full file name? size?
So, SD, I was able to install the pico Open Apps after installing gaps-kk. When that had me hanging in boot, I entered TWRP again and then did a wipe. On a whim, I rebooted into TWRP after the wipe, and tried to install the PICO OpenGapp zip. And, it installed!
I rebooted, and now I have GAPPS!
Can't explain it, but now it works. Thanks for all your help!

I have successfully rooted my Fire but would like to replace CWM with TWRP as the recovery image. However, when I install TWRP and boot to recovery mode, everything just hangs. The FFF screen says "Booting..." at the bottom but nothing happens (I've let it sit for at least 5 minutes to make sure I wasn't just being impatient). I can reboot, reflash CWM, and everything works just fine.
Here are some details:
Rooted Kindle Fire v 6.3.1
FFF 1.4
Ubuntu Linux - I can successfully adb and fastboot into the device.
CWM works fine.
While it is hanging, I can no longer access it via fastboot but also can't access via adb. Hard reset required to reboot.
Using latest TWRP (2.2.0) from here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/79
I've also tried TWRP 2.0 from some long-lost forum posting somewhere but still no luck
I've tried re-flashing FFF after flashing TWRP as mentioned in the forum link below
Every Kindle Fire guide that I've seen seems to use TWRP so I can't imagine it's a hardware issue. I found a similar problem in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408056 but it was posted in the General forum. I figure my question belongs in this forum. Excuse me if the cross-post is inappropriate.
Does anyone have an idea what is going on? I've been searching for hours with no luck.

No and yes, you need to flash a custom recovery no matter what, some devices use twrp, some cwm, some ROMs require twrp some cwm. So I'm on twrp and jandycane 4.1.1 its exactly what your looking for.

Hopefully you have the latest FFF installed (blue Kindle Fire logo?). If so, when you see it, hold the power button until you see the boot options appear. Select normal or reset boot mode.

Well, looking at screenshot, I see that TWRP was installed successfully. As long as have that, you're good. You can use TWRP to install FFF and a new rom which fixes just about everything. When TWRP first installs it will reboot and leave your device in fastboot mode (stuck at boot logo). To fix it, simply change your bootmode. Using the latest FFF (blue Kindle Fire logo) is the easiest way, but it can also be done via command line.
Being "stuck" at the boot logo is a normal process of modifying the KF, it doesn't mean it's bricked. I suggest you take the time to read up on some Kindle Fire basics before you proceed.

I got the same screen last night as well. TWRP is installed as I can reboot into Normal/Recovery/Reset Boot..
I can use the KFU to reset the bootloader as well (normal/fastboot, etc)..
but for some reason, KFU doesn't seem to root my device when selecting option 2. I get the blue KF boot logo, can access TWRP, but then what? Do I need to install some other software?
I am soo confused...
I want to root my device so I can install programs. I would also like to install custom ROMs (which I understand that I do not NEED to be rooted to do this), but to install other programs I do.

Transfer the ROM you want to your sdcard and use TWRP to install it. Be sure to "factory reset" (wipe) before you install the ROM or there will be conflicts. It is usually a good idea to wipe cache and dalvik after the ROM installation. There's no need to root a custom ROM.

Thank you for the reply. I assume to transfer the ROM I want I'd use something like Window Explorer to drag/drop or should I use the command language?
Wiping the cache and dalvik - is that also done through TWRP?
one last thing; it is my understanding that once you install a custom ROM, you have "root" access.. will this access allow me to install the App Store/Android Market and install apps that normally require root, such as Titanium backup?

In TWRP you can use "abd push" or there is "mount" function that it comes with that will allow you to mount your sdcard as an external drive, much like with the stock Amazon software.

Yes, after you install the ROM, you'll be given the option to.

Yes, but the "Market" (Google Play) must be installed in TWRP as a "gapps" package. Just Google gapps for the version of android you're installing (CM10-JB, CM9-ICS, or CM7-GB).
ye i have the same issue "mv: can't rename '/system/bin/check_rooted': No such file or directory". I'm sitting at TWRP recovery screen, so I'm guessing just download rom of choice use the mount function to transfer the rom, full wipe and install. this should solve my getting no further in rooting process problem?

If your only error is "mv: can't rename '/system/bin/check_rooted': then chances are, you're already rooted. It just means there was no check_rooted file to rename, so you're good.
Not that it matters anyway because installing a custom ROM gives you "root" anyway.
Hi,
So I used the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105 to set up my Kindle Fire 8.9 but I keep getting stuck at the blue/white Kindle Fire logo. I have tried this about 10-15 times and I get stuck every time. The exact steps I do:
0. Use KFFirstAide to restore device back to 8.1.4 (after getting stuck at blue logo)
1. Use KFFirstAide to root, confirm root with rootchecker.
2. Install FireFlash.
3. Place rom/gapps on sdcard.
4. Use 8.4.6 freedom boot image and and twrp 2.6.3.1 image in FireFlash, checking the right boxes (apply stack & bin if red warning is there).
4a. In a few attempts, have also tried using the 8.4.3 freedom boot image with twrp 2.6.3.1.
Then when I try to reboot normally after using FireFlash (without installing a rom yet, I just wanted to test going back to Kindle OS) it gets stuck at the blue logo. Other times, I have tried to install a rom right away (going straight to twrp after FireFlash) but after rom installation and reboot, it gets stuck at the blue logo. I have tried using cm-10.2 with gapps-jb-20130729 and also cm-11 with gapps-kk-20131209. Both of those lead me to the stuck blue logo. Since I can't even load into Kindle OS after FireFlash, I'm guessing this is a bootloader issue?
The weird thing is that, if I flash cm-10.1 with gapps-jb-20130812, it works! But I do not want this version because I want the Kindle reading app fix available in cm-11. More important, this is a new Kindle Fire 8.9 and not being able to flash the other two roms means that something is inherently wrong. I tried to flash either cm-10.2 or cm-11 after successfully flashing cm-10.1 but I get stuck at the blue logo.
I have tried many different iterations and attempts, but cannot get it to work. The previous blue logo threads are because the person wiped their data and don't have a rom on the sdcard, that is NOT my problem here. The CLOSEST thread I found was this one where he seems to have the exact same problem, but he didn't mention how he fixed it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579418
My adb seems to be working correctly, I can get the device into fastboot mode by using "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" in cmd.
Thanks for any help!
OK first question, when trying to flash cm 10.2 or cm 11 have you factory reset'd the device? I do wonder if this another selinux issue since selinux was introduced in cm 10.2. If the factory reset didn't do it I would say backup your sdcard and wipe internal storage. Easy way to backup the device's sdcard area is to run "adb pull /sdcard/ /backup" it would back it up to your c drive in a folded called backup in that example. If that still doesn't work I have a command you can try that will probably do the trick so try those things and if it still doesn't work I will hand you a command off to test.

Sorry, I forgot to include those details.
Before I flash a rom and gapps, I wipe system, factory reset, cache, and Dalvik cache. Then I flash both rom and gapps, then I wipe cache/Dalvik again, then I reboot.
Do you mean you want me to wipe internal storage as well, and then sideload the rom and install it like that?
So I tried two things:
First I wiped everything - system, factory reset, cache, Dalvik, and internal storage. Then I sideloaded cm-10.2 and gapps and flashed. This resulted in getting stuck at the blue logo again.
So I went back into twrp, and wiped internal storage only, then rebooted. But same thing happens, I get stuck at the blue logo

ok while in twrp make sure to unmount the userdata partition first, just basically uncheck it in the mounts area, if you don't things could end badly because we are basically reformattign a partition and its bad to do that while its mounted. Now go into "adb shell" in a command prompt and run
Code:
mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/userdata
see if that fixes the problem, so far that tends to work to fix selinux issues, kinda wish there was a button in twrp that would perform that command or just make the internal storage wipe do that, thats like a actual format of the /data folder/partition instead of just wiping the contents.
Sorry, can you clarify what you mean when you say go into adb shell?

well you need a copy of adb, look through topics i have made and there should be one about a tutorial for pushing a rom onto the device, grab teh adb zip file i posted with it and extract it somewhere like to a folder on your desktop, and to make things simple hold shift and right click the folder that the adb executable is in and hit "open command prompt here" and in the command prompt that comes up run "adb shell" then run that command i mentioned.

Hi,
So I used the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105 to set up my Kindle Fire 8.9 but I keep getting stuck at the blue/white Kindle Fire logo. I have tried this about 10-15 times and I get stuck every time. The exact steps I do:
0. Use KFFirstAide to restore device back to 8.1.4 (after getting stuck at blue logo)
1. Use KFFirstAide to root, confirm root with rootchecker.
2. Install FireFlash.
3. Place rom/gapps on sdcard.
4. Use 8.4.6 freedom boot image and and twrp 2.6.3.1 image in FireFlash, checking the right boxes (apply stack & bin if red warning is there).
4a. In a few attempts, have also tried using the 8.4.3 freedom boot image with twrp 2.6.3.1.
Then when I try to reboot normally after using FireFlash (without installing a rom yet, I just wanted to test going back to Kindle OS) it gets stuck at the blue logo. Other times, I have tried to install a rom right away (going straight to twrp after FireFlash) but after rom installation and reboot, it gets stuck at the blue logo. I have tried using cm-10.2 with gapps-jb-20130729 and also cm-11 with gapps-kk-20131209. Both of those lead me to the stuck blue logo. Since I can't even load into Kindle OS after FireFlash, I'm guessing this is a bootloader issue?
The weird thing is that, if I flash cm-10.1 with gapps-jb-20130812, it works! But I do not want this version because I want the Kindle reading app fix available in cm-11. More important, this is a new Kindle Fire 8.9 and not being able to flash the other two roms means that something is inherently wrong. I tried to flash either cm-10.2 or cm-11 after successfully flashing cm-10.1 but I get stuck at the blue logo.
I have tried many different iterations and attempts, but cannot get it to work. The previous blue logo threads are because the person wiped their data and don't have a rom on the sdcard, that is NOT my problem here. The CLOSEST thread I found was this one where he seems to have the exact same problem, but he didn't mention how he fixed it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579418
My adb seems to be working correctly, I can get the device into fastboot mode by using "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" in cmd.
Thanks for any help!

I'm back in town and I'll try to follow your recommendation. The first thing I see is that the link to Hashcode said is to 7 "HD. Does it work for 8.9 HD also?
The other question is that Hashcode says: you need to have previously installed the 2nd bootloader and send to him original link to 2nd bootloader install and TWRP 2.6.3.1. Also he says this is a flashable. zip file for installing in your current version of TWRP. Then I think I'm in circles because I must have the old TWRP to install the new, but my problem is with the installation of the old because I stuck on blue / white logo when I try it.
Perhaps I can follow the instruction to install the 2nd bootloader as he suggest in his original post an then install the new 2.7.0.0.zip instead the old 2.6.3.1. zip. Is correct?
You can just pull the IMG file out of the zip and boot into fastboot and flash it without flashing everything else that was done in the entire 2nd bootloader installation process.
7" images are not compatible with 8" and vice versa. Not sure if I'm helping much as I kinda just got up and went perusing the forum while half asleep.

Well, I update to 2.7.0.0 and after a long, long minutes stuck in blue/white logo . . . its work fine! Thank you very much (again)!
Now I dont know if the was that the kindle stuck or if it was me that no allow sufficient time. Any way it works now.
I´m hesitate if to flash CM 10.2 or CM 11.0. I have 10.2 in my 7"HD and I´m very happy with that, but I have curiosity about 11.0. What do you think?
11 is nice, has less ram consumption, though I personally haven't gone past cm 10.1 because of the lack of stock cm with tablet ui on cm 11, I'd have to grab a different ROM to do it.

Ok, thank you for your reply. I think I will try the Unofficial CyanogenMod 11.0 ROM of Hashcode. If I dont like it will down to Hashcode CM 10.2 that I know well.

I install Hashcode CM 11 and all ok except that I receive the message: "your browser does not support live stream playback" when I try to watch TV from internet from a page where I watch normally with my KF HD 7" (with CM 10.2). Any idea about it? Thanks
Nope, I don't do much streaming from the browser, I have vlc installed and I watch all my anime with sanime pushing the url's through vlc. And when I want to watch TV I have a time warner cable app since I have service with them. Suppose you could try the "request desktop site" button in the browser. Idk if you need flash or not, I just found a version the other day that was modified to work better with cm 11 or other 4.4 based ROMs since adobe dropped support.

Try Chrome? It may be the new web engine in KitKat.

Already tried Chrome and do the same. I can see well on youtube but I can not watch other channels I usually watch. In that case I always get the same message.
