This conversation looks like it can go in many different directions so I'm going to come right out and ask...
Do you understand what it means when you are stuck at the boot logo?
Do you have custom recovery installed?
Do you have adb, fastboot, and the appropriate USB drivers installed?
What happened that caused your device to get to this state and what were you doing?
Please be as detailed as possible.

You need to get a better understanding of what's going on first. Otherwise, any suggestion offered would be useless to you. If I told you that since you are currently in fastboot all you need to do is change your bootmode to recovery, would you understand?
There is a guide at the top of the Kindle Fire General forum called "Kindle Fire For Beginners" which, as the name suggests, would probably do wonders for someone in your situation. (Read the first 3 posts)
Afterwards, if you still need help, reply back with a DETAILED description of what your current situation is, what you understand about your current situation and what steps you've taken to try to fix the problem and their results.
as a means to clarify he has a wiped system partition which Im sure needs to be rewiped and a wiped sd card with no visible contents and wont mount for access in twrp or at least thats what is suspect. And coupled with a dead battery syndrome. Needs a good charge sd card access and a file to flash. It boots to the bootloader and he can access recovery that's all that it for sure known. The result of a flash without wiping system won't boot if its even present at this point is unknown.
Was trying to root kf . started "Install Permanent Boot, etc." all seamed to be going OK. Went as far as TWRP was installed. At that point the OS for the fire was GONE. Fire is hung at TWRP. No operating system for anything. Plz HELP
If TWRP is still functional, then you can just "mount USB," put a rom and gapps into the folder, flash them, then boom! You'll have an OS again; just basic protocol haha.
I would also wipe data/cache, dalvik, etc. just in case...
...But if you want stock Amazon Gingerbread then you're going to have to look way back in time in the forums for the stock rom.
What happens when you reboot system? Does it go right back to TWRP?
Me Too
I have no OS on my kindle fire. I wiped the memory and now I lost my roms and backups. I heard you can try ADB, but I couldn't get it to work. Mine just boots to the kindle fire logo but nothing else happens. It's basically collecting dust.
Take a breath, relax, and take comfort in the fact that there is nothing wrong with your Kindle. It is doing exactly what it was told to do. Your problem is easy to fix, but you need to know what's going on first.

Was not able to answer you as I was out town without internet connection-- When I boot I get a "Nornal Boot", "Recovery", and "Reset Boot Mode". The first two choices get a black screen with KindleFire, fire is blue after a bit fire turns red. also, upper right corner "V1.4"
If I go to #3, "Reset Boot", I get into TWRP. Saw on You Tube how to reinstall systen, however it would Reboot--NO OPERATING SYSTEM.

Wow, very interesting, and welcome back.
Weird. It's almost as if you have TWRP installed to the system partition. Selecting "reset boot" on FFF1.4 changes the idme value to 4000, so your device should boot to the system partition no matter what. But you said the boot logo changes from blue to red. What's actually happening, is the bootloader finishes doing it's thing and then boots to the system. The red and white Kindle Fire logo you see then is the stock boot animation, which makes everything really strange. "Recovery" boot shouldn't show the boot animation at all. And if you have recovery installed to the system partition, you shouldn't see the boot animation there either. WTF did you do to your Kindle?
My best advice would be to get into fastboot and reinstall TWRP to the correct partition so you can reinstall your ROM. From the sounds of it, you will likely have no access to the adb shell, in which case you would need to get a factory cable.
So, boot into recovery and enter the following command to see if you even have a working shell:
Code:
adb shell idme bootmode 4002
no os

Reverting to stock would only compound your problems right now as it would wipe out your custom recovery and bootloader, which are necessary to fix any problems should they arise.
Your best bet, as I mentioned earlier would be to reinstall TWRP, if that is actually the problem, but I'm not quite sure yet. I would be very helpful to know what ROM you tried to install when this problem started, and what steps you took to install it.

If reinstalling TWRP doesn't fix the problem, there may be a problem with your file system.
Run the following commands and post the results here:
Code:
adb shell
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
And a factory cable will only put the device in fastboot, not help you to install a ROM.

I found a keyboard in TWRP in the KF, however it would only let me type #'s. I think I am lost here. Do you accept KF's (sent to you), for
repair or what ever to get it to root ?? If so, I could sent it to you etc. [email protected]
Soupmagnet would be the one of the very best to send it to if he allows you I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed

Hi there,
This is my first post to the group. I have searched and (I think) read through the appropriate threads before posting. I am having a problem with my KF and I think I know what the solution is, but I wanted to confirm my suspicions.
As of yesterday my device had TWRP with a Jelly Bean ROM on it and all was well. I needed to go back to stock so I downloaded the stock rom, renamed it to update.zip and flashed with TWRP. It completed the flashed but that was when the problems started.
My KF is now stuck in a reboot loop, but I don't think it's the fastboot loop that I've seen in a ton of different threads. My problem is the device starts up, gets to the home screen and around 10-15 seconds will restart. When I try to go to the main KF interface, I get a couple of FC errors:
The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again [FC]
The application Calendar Storage (process com.android.providers.calendar) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again [FC]
Then the device restarts.
I have a Mac and a PC -- on the Mac I tried Breakdroid and on PC I tried the Kindle Fire Utility but can't connect/get access to the KF to install anything. Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6 reports ADB Status: Offline and Boot Status: Unknown. I've read that this could be a battery problem but I don't think so since it happened immediately after flashing.
One thing I found interesting though is that on the Mac, when I can get the KF to mount the drive will stay visible through the restarts -- not sure if that means anything but thought I would mention.
The big problem is that I can't access fastboot or get access via Kindle Fire Utility or BreakDroid. My guess is I need a factory cable to get access to fastboot, but is there anything else I should try first?
Thanks in advance for your help. If this question has already been asked and answered then please accept my apologies.
Thanks!
Robert.
This is from not doing a factory reset in TWRP before installing the stock update.zip.
Unless you have access to the adb shell to change your bootmode to fastboot (4002), you'll need a factory cable to get into fastboot so you can reinstall TWRP and try again.
"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."
Thanks

Hey soupmagnet,
Thanks a ton for the info! Yes, you are correct I didn't do a factory reset in TWRP before installing the file. I just ordered the cable so I'm sure that will fix the problems.
Glad I could add some humor to your day.
Thanks,
Robert.

Alright guys, so I tried using KFU on my 1gen Kindle Fire. I selected option 2 right off the bat and I'm guessing I should have hit option 1 and booted into fastboot first lol sorry I'm a noob.
Well now the Kindle will turn on but it will go directly to the "Kindle Fire" white and orange logo and do nothing else. I've let it sit here for like 10-20 min and still nothing. I've also tried using a couple different tools and methods (firekit being the last I tried) to no avail.
Any help would be amazing guys! Thanks so much for everything you do already.

Yeah, I'm actually reading that right now haha. I believe I'm stuck in fastboot but I don't think my computer has the fasboot drivers so I'm looking to get those, download those and see what happens from there.
I'm not looking for a hand out , I'm working on it myself as much as I'm asking for help I promise.

UPDATE! Alright I got it back into Normal mode !!! All by my self too really. Thanks for that little link though, if I hadn't already been searching that would have helped me out a freaking ton! Now it's time to get down to business.
UPDATE 2! Haha, alright well I'm trying to use KFU but it doesn't seem to be working well. I just put it back into fastboot mode and now it's pulling the same **** over again. All I wanna do is root this thing... Any help?
UPDATE 3! So not that any of you really care but I got a new recovery on it now ! Working on FFF and then rooting it!
Are you just trying to root it or do you want to install a custom ROM? If you want to install a custom ROM, rooting it beforehand is a waste of time.

No I do want to root it. I like having access to all the abilities of the device. Right now I'm having TWRP creating a backup before I go any father. It's taking forever though .
I kid I kid . You wouldn't be trolling the forums with your knowledge if you didn't haha.

All custom ROMs are rooted anyway, which is why I say if you are going to install a custom ROM, rooting it again is pointless.
You guys are way too advanced for me
I'm just a newbie and I try to make my life with KF easier, not more complicated by reading and reviewing how to use the KFU tools.
First, I download the zip file then I unzip it then I install drivers as instructed then start using the beautiful useful tools.
Second, I make sure it reads 4000 and Online by pressing "0" key then press 2 if just want rooting with stock OS. It will automatically install TWRP and FFF. Follow the instruction and it should be done by then.
Nandroid backup with COTR.
Installing custom ROM? read the instruction again on that thread.
So, I have come into possession of a 2012 Kindle Fire 2 with an interesting story. My friend, the original owner (and as you shall find out, a complete n00b) decided to flash some ROMs and fool around with KFU (yes, the one that's NOT meant for KF2). And while panicking, he ended up booting in fastboot and erasing almost everything he saw here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747804
So as a result, I have on my hands a Kindle Fire 2 with no bootloader, no recovery, no system, no cache. At this point of time, I'm trying to figure out whether there is any hope for the device if I use the shorting method and try and bring it to OMAP USBBOOT.
Suggestions are highly welcome.

Try this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 Power off Kindle if able. Open the tool and select option 1 to enable fastboot. A question will come up asking if your tablet is powered off or on. Select the appropriate option. If there is any hope left, this would be it. Once in fast boot, select option 2 I believe which is install SuperSU and recover image. Follow all steps in that thread. If files don't download, do a Google search for the exact names.
