Kindle fire stuck on static logo after flashing stock ROM using twrp

Hi:
I rooted my kindle and installed aokp milestone 6 on it. Everything was fine until one day the kindle started freezing randomly. I thought that it may be a ROM issue I flashed it again with aokp. But the issue remained, so I thought I should flash stock ROM on it. When stock ROM was flashed it stuck on static kindle fire logo (orange).
I then used factory cable to flash recovery and fff boot loader. Till then I am unable to boot using any ROM. When non stock ROM is flashed, the screen goes black after displaying fff screen. And if stock ROM is flashed (both rooted and un rooted) it just displays kindle fire orange logo 2 times and just stays there.
I have tried everything including kindle fire utility and kindle fire unbick utility but no avail.
Please Help. I believe its just a software related issue not hardware related.
I hope I am correct.

sounds like its stuck in fastboot - i guess? but i am of little help really i dont have much KF experience.
can you use kindlefire utility, choose #1 Bootmode Menu, then choose #1 again in the bootmode menu which is Normal.
let it boot. should take a a little less than a minute on a stock rom i guess.
dont go hitting the power button or anything.
does it still stick?
KFU is broke btw with regards to installing twrp. the twrp.img file it tries to download isnt even an img file. its an html file that it just renames to twrp.img.
on the goo site twrp doesnt even exist for the link he gave. so it fails to install.

Already tried that. Kf is not recognized as adb with stock cable. It is recognized as adb with factory cable. When issued the normal boot command using kfu It just reboots and stays on the same kindle fire logo.

Kindle back to stock

I have rooted my kindle fire and installed twrp and fff using kindle fire utility. With twrp I flash a jelly bean rom and now i am wanting to go back to how my kindle was out of the box. so i got an update off the internet and downloaded it to my kindle, but when i rebooted my kindle it didnt go into fff. i am just wondering is there any other way to install roms on the kindle since i cannot get into twrp. also tried to reinstall twrp and fff on kindle fire utility but it says adb status offline and will not change. please help!

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.....

[Q] Kindle Fire 2 is bricked

Hey, I was stupid and tried to install a rom without factory-resetting my kindle. Now I am stuck at the splash logo boot loop. I tried the unbrick utility, but it can't find my kindle. I have access to fastboot commands, but not adb. Don't ask me why, I just can't use adb. I don't know how to restore my kindle to a working state. I have a fastboot cable available. Thanks in advance. Im a noob btw.:crying:

I'm guessing it's looping from the kindle fire screen not the cm10.1 screen, correct? If so, you can use the command, "fastboot -i 0x1949 -w". That will wipe userdata and cache. But if it's looping without even loading the rom that's probably not going to fix it.

Ok, I am now not stuck on the splash logo. i reflashed the recovery and boot partitions and now it is trying to boot, but there is currently no os installed. Is this a good sign that I can fix it? I am in slc for the weekend and cant flash the system partition yet.
Another question. I tried installing twrp on my recovery, but i cant boot into it. it wont show the blue logo. do i need an os installed to use it?

Yes. os MUST be installed for our recovery to function. Specifically a file called 'stack' has to reside on the system partition

Ok, I figured out it was a OTA update that re-bricked it. I am downloading a custom rom right now. I finally got it to work! Thanks for all your help.:victory:

Another question. I downloaded the CM10.1 zip shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963
I try to flash it in twrp, but it keeps saying error flashing zip
What do I do?

Sounds like a bad download. Redownload and adb sideload from pc

i got similar problems. rooted it, but i got afterwards some problems with superuser applications. ran sveral rooting methods, but at some point, it stucked now with the orange "kindle fire" logo.
tried also to use different recoverys (kindle-fire-ultility2, KF2_SRT_10.2.3) but nothing helped. i cant reach the device anymore. adb says: no device in list and fastboot: <waiting for device>
actually i use the supplied cable. or am i wrong to use it for fastboot. thought the supplied one is similar to the special fastboot cables from e.g ebay
/edit: sry, just realized after reading the FAQs, that the factory cable is a different one. sorry.

[Q] Attempting to remove root checker...please wait...?

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

[Q] Unable to enter TWRP on Kindle Fire 2

Hey I have my sister's Kindle Fire 2 (non-HD). It is currently on rooted stock with a bootloader installed but it has jacked up the Kindle App and now she can no longer read books or access the Kindle Store on it, on either the stock app or the Android Kindle app. I tried everything to fix that and I couldn't do it. Now she wants to go back to clean stock so as to not have to deal with all this crap. So I followed Hashcode's guide to install the bootloader and TWRP and it worked fine at first. I turned on the kindle, entered TWRP through the bootloader, backed up all of the images, put those backups on the computer, then rebooted. Now, however, when I select "Recovery" on bootup it just says "Booting.." but then nothing happens. I can still get into the normal boot okay but not TWRP. When it is in this "Booting..." state it cannot be recognized by anything. How should I proceed from here?

Sounds like you need to try flashing twrp again. Check the md5sum of the file you are flashing, make sure its the right twrp form your model as well.
