Deleting files from the system folder only affects the current rom(or as you call it, operating system) and doesn't affect ADB or the TWRP recovery program. You can use TWRP to install a new rom, even the stock Kindle rom.
I can't post links, so search google for "kindle fire software update" and you should find amazon's page to download the latest stock rom for the kindle fire. Rename the file to update.zip and transfer it to the storage on your kindle. You can then use TWRP to select the zip file and re-install the stock kindle rom. This WILL break your root, so use the Kindle Fire utility that's linked in the development forum if you want to re-root your kindle.
If you don't have TWRP installed, try using the Kindle Fire Utility (in the development forum) to install TWRP or recover your kindle fire. I hope this helps!

TWRP is the recovery program that you can boot into before the rom loads. You can use the Kindle Fire Utility to install TWRP. If the kindle fire utility isn't working, you can try installing TWRP manually, but you will also need to install FireFireFire, which is the boot loader that replaces the stock kindle loader and allows you to boot into TWRP.
The most important thing is to have ADB access. If you can plug the kindle fire into your PC and get ADB working, you can fix pretty much anything.

How i can be sure that adb is working?

download the latest kfu from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
extract to c:\ and rename "kindle fire utility" to "kfu"
cd to c:\kfu and run "install_drivers.bat"
cd to c:\kfu\tools and type:
"adb devices" - get a response ?
"fastboot devices" - get a respose ?
you should get a response from one of the commands

I have to mention when in b63 post where your in the tools folder it easier to right click inside that folder in an empty space within it, and then press the keyboard's shift key for an option from the right clicked dropdown to open a command prompt window right there. Then type adb devices followed by enter key. Optimum would be a device ##000000000 sorta output in that tiny window , whereas then you could close it and click run in the kindle fire utility from the download. You can see more options to root your device to here with "status info".

Same problem

>>> Hi, I have the same problem here. I accidentally deleted my rooted KF system with no rom saved on my KF (I'm a noob). Now, I did the steps you mentioned above.
This is what I have:
-When I typed ad devices it says "list of devices attached :15FE000600000001"
-Got nothing when typed "fastboot devices.
-On KFU it says" adb statusnline', "boot status:unknown".
-I can't install the Fastboot mode on the KF because it stays on waiting for device.
-My pc recognizes the Kindle as a device on the Device Manager, but I can't explore it because it doesn't show up on My Computer.
-I have already unistalled, deleted, re-install the drivers many times. The one that comes with KFU only makes the adb status go offline. The only driver that makes it show on the computer is the one I get when I connect the KF to the computer and let it download a driver by itself.
Please tell me, what can I do to make it show up so I can paste the rom on the device.

You're getting confused with how adb and fastboot work. I suggest reading this to get a better understanding.

Thanks, I have read it like 3 times, it's just a little confusing for someone dealing with rooting for the first time. What I get is that I need to get the KF come up on Windows so I can paste the rom into the KF and that the KF needs to be in fastboot to install the rom.
Anyway, now the Kindle shows up on KFU as "online" and the bootmode is "4000", but still nothing comes up on the explorer. Twrp is installed and I'm able to load it, but I did not make a Backup. How can I install the system again?

If twrp is installed when you boot into it click on mount, then click mount usb, this is the only way it's going to show up as a mass storage device on your pc so that you can transfer a rom over to it.

Put both zips on your sdcard in zip form, wipe factory/data reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash rom zip, flash gapps zip, reboot then system if prompted.

Thank you so much!!! :laugh:
I have done what you told me and my Kindle is now working. It's already downloading my files from the cloud.

Very good you`re welcome.

[Q] Kindle Fire stuck at TWRP

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 shell idme bootmode 4000
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.

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.

Trying to root Kindle Fire

I have downloaded Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6. After I installed the drivers, the kindle icon on device manager changed to Android Phone - Android ADB Interface. I then ran run.bat and it says that ADB Status: Offline and Boot Status: Unknown. I have tried searching the web for answers, but I could not find the answer to my problem. I tried to just run permanent root with superuser, but after two initial downloads, it was stuck on waiting on device for FFF. I need help please.

Installing Windows drivers is a basic task that every Windows user should be comfortable with. I would suggest searching Google for an answer to that question. The TWRP link is bad. You need to replace the twrp.img file that comes with KFU, with the actual TWRP.img downloaded from the TWRP website.

The problem that I have is that on device manager, after I install the drivers, "kindle" becomes "android phone - android composite adb interface", but when I run "run.bat", it is still saying adb status: offline and boot status: unknown. I tried updating the drivers anyways, but the problem is still not resolved.

Don`t make any slections till your drivers are right . It might be something simple that is making it appear offline here is some info on a manual installation http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/13/how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver/.

Ahh, I think I just bricked my Kindle Fire. It is now stuck on "kindlefire" splash screen and it is not recognizable by my computer. I was following the steps by installing Java Development Kit and then Android SDK Tools.After following those steps, I tried running "run.bat" and now it says the ADB Status is "Online", but still "Unknown" for boot status. Now stupidly, I thought what the hey, it's online now, so I ran the 2nd option and after it did some installing, it told me to press any button to exit. After that, the kindle fire restarted by itself, and so I clicked on "run.bat" again and now there is no menu at all. Then I look over at my kindle fire and see that it is stuck on the screen. I need help please!

Leave it connected and hold the power button till its off then power it back on then select change bootmodes in kfu select normal and wait it should boot normal if not hold the power button till off then back on.

Amazon KF2 (v.10.4.3 & v10.4.6) - Install CyanogenMod

First - sorry for my English. Last monday i received my KF2 and when I could not find the instructions on this forum for version 10.4.3 - i decided to try it myself.
Introducing: Kindle Fire 2 (v10.4.3 & v10.4.6 already tested) installing CyanogenMod
** YOU SHOULD HAVE A WORKING NORMAL (NOT FASTBOOT) CABLE + ADB DRIVERS/ACCESS ON YOUR PC. **
*** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! WHILE I TRY MY BEST TO PROVIDE WORKING KERNELS/ROMS, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS SOFTWARE OR ANYTHING I'VE WORKED ON SUDDENLY FRIES YOUR DEVICE. ***
*** READ CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ***
*** Kindle Fire 1st-gen ROMs/KERNELS are *NOT* compatible with the Kindle Fire 2. Please only flash ROMs/KERNELS that are made for the Kindle Fire 2. ***
** IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, RE-READ THROUGH THE THREAD FOR ANSWERS. WHEN YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY SURE NO ONE HAS ASKED YOUR QUESTION, GO AHEAD AND RE-READ THE THREAD AGAIN AND USE THE SEARCH FEATURE. THEN POST YOUR QUESTION IF YOU STILL CAN'T FIND THE ANSWER **
INITIAL SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1. Install ADB Drivers for Kindle HD and enable ADB on tablet Settings->Security->Enable ADB->On
Check ADB:
Code:
C:\> adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
If you do NOT see this, then make sure you have the SDK installed correctly and you have the right setup for ADB on your PC before proceeding.
STEP 2. Backup your stock partitions to your own HD for later if you need disaster recovery:
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0
adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot
adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery
adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system # This will take a few minutes
Take those files and put them somewhere safe.
STEP 3. Getting root
Just follow this threat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075959 -> everything working fine
STEP 4. Downgrade your bootloader
Download the older 10.2.4 bootloader file and flash to your device via fastboot:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter2/otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
md5sum 5b03a7b428325de8d360ec201a745498
(You SHOULD check this before using fastboot -- downloads CAN be corrupted)
Open cmd and promt:
Code:
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
Your Kindle should reboot in fastboot mode, and now flash bootloader:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
STEP 5. Install TWRP
First, download CM and GAPPS and copy it to SDCARD:
CM-10.1 for the Kindle Fire 2 (choose the latest version from):
http://www.get.cm/?device=otter2
Google Apps from: http://goo.im/gapps (choose the top rom CM10.1 version)
1. Copy com.powerpoint45.FMKilo-2.apk to the tablet (you can get this apk from here http://d-h.st/n7L)
2. Enable on Kindle: Device -> Allow Installation of Applications
3. Use file browser (i recomended to use ES Explorer) to install apk.
4. Run Tweezermod Installer and answer on all question about Super User -> "Allow"​
** If everything was done correctly you will at this point see the bootmenu with a BLUE logo during the reboot. **
In this time your kindle can not boot, u'll see BLUE logo, then ORANGE and then device restarted again. Don't worry - it's ok

Tested on my Kindle Fire 2 v10.4.3 & v10.4.6

7" KF HD 2, 10.4.6
This tutorial worked perfectly, up until the end, step 6.
I'm new to Kindle, but not Android. I got into TWRP prior to downloading CM10.2 and Gapps. And when i try to mount as USB, and this line shows in the log:
"Unable to locate volume information for USB storage mode"
Googling didn't help much with investigating that error. ADB sideload doesn't seem to work.
I don't know what to do from here.

Check STEP 1 to check ADB. If it not working check this manual https:// developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html
When ADB start working - copy CM and GAPPS to kindle:
Promt in CMD:
Code:
adb push /path/to/filename /sdcard/download/filename

I'm also on Win7 x64.
When it is on ADB Sideload, I see in my Device manager Amazon Kindle Fire2, but it appears to not be loading the drivers correctly.
ADB Devices are not showing any attached devices. Ideas?

Also in my Device Manager, Portable Devices, it shows F: but there's no F: in my windows explorer.

I found instructions via terminal emulator to get it rebooted into fastboot, in hopes of flashing CM 10.2 via fastboot.
Looking up the fastboot syntax for flashing a new rom, I've always used recovery on my other devices, but i don't have that option now.

ADB Sideload - good idea. Try this manual:
1. Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
2. From the command line on PC, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
The file will be copied to your device to whatever the current storage location is that you have selected in the mount page. It will always be placed in the root of that storage location and named sideload.zip (e.g. /sdcard/sideload.zip) and it will automatically delete / overwrite any existing sideload.zip you may have on your device. As soon as the file is copied to your device, it will automatically be installed. When the install is finished you will be presented with a reboot system button so that you can reboot to test your zip.
Note that sideload mode is a separate ADB mode. While in sideload mode, regular ADB commands will not work. Once the zip has been copied to the device and the install starts (or if you hit the cancel button) regular ADB mode will resume.​
My mistake in manual. Better way - copy rom file to sdcard before STEP 5.

I'm still unable to use adb sideload, reports "device not found". I have the usb drivers installed, your tutorial is the only one I have used, I can't use TWRP at all.
It works, but USB drive mounting doesn't work, ADB sideload doesn't seem to work. No errors in the log, but ADB reports device not found.
I don't know what to do from here. It's nothing like 4EXT or CWM.

Ok so I have got it in fastboot by going to Advanced->Terminal, idme bootmode 4
Once in fastboot , fastboot -i 0x1949 devices returned a device number
I flashed CM10.2 using "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system CM102.zip
Then I ran fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1
Then rebooted, doesn't load ROM, got back into TWRP, changed bootmode back to 1, reboot, says I have no OS.
That's my current status. Seems others have been at this point before, still workin on this.

Ok you can give up on thinking now, I've bricked it. No signs of life.
I flashed the 7.23 bootloader and TWRP 2.6 from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
via fastboot, and now it's done for.
Found a rooted one on craigslist for $120 to replace this one for my father in law.
I've rooted a good few other Android devices, but never a tablet, first try on a KFHD2.
I give up on Kindle's.

Don't trash the old one after u get the new one, we have a viable method now to unbrick a hard bricked kindle. The person behind the fix is working on a more user friendly version of the device that doesn't require soldering. Check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391047

Assuming you have a Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, it's "hard-bricked."
Read the FAQ if you haven't already, specifically Q14 (although, read them all). Then, I would see if you can get Amazon to send you a replacement.
If they won't do that, take a look at this thread and this thread by me. As of now, I've succeeded in returning a hard-bricked KF2 to soft-bricked, but working out some bugs in order to return it to fully functional after that.

I have contacted Amazon and they said that they would send a replacement to me but now I'm worried because I didn't tell them that it was my fault, I just told them the Kindle is not working.Is this ok?

Trying to make it work
I've followed the linked guide to installing the sdk and driver (windows 7 64 bit) and I still cannot get the adb devices to list the kf2. What am I doing wrong?

"STEP 4. Downgrade your bootloader
Download the older 10.2.4 bootloader file and flash to your device via fastboot:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter2/o...rod-10.2.4.bin"
On 2nd gen Kindle Fire Non-HD. ver 10.4.6 rooted , can this step be completed without a fastboot cable?
I have the original usb cable. Maybe with Kindle Aide?
or tweezermod?

Hello, I also I have the 10.4.6 rooted.
I have the same question that adaweawe, I can install bootloader / recovery with the original cable?
thanks

Hello again.
I try, but I have a problem at this point:
fastboot-i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
Once put the kindle in fastboot mode, write the code in CMD and gets stuck saying <waiting for device>
What I'm doing with the standard USB cable.

how you get into fastboot mode? did u try Kindle First Aide?
i'm hesitant to try install new bootloader + TWRP on my kf2 without fastboot cable:
" *Note: After several conference calls with the Amazon Development Team we found Amazon applied a patch to the Bootloader in an effort to lock down the Bootloader, this patch rarely causes the Bootloader to stick or Bootloop, please use the above link to release the Bootloader. We have removed this patch from the boot-prod.img eliminating future issues with recovered HD 8.9" users. "

and
+Note: As of Amazon OS update 7.3.x+, there has been a lot of issues with rooting and flashing the 2nd-bootloader. Many users reported bootloops during the completion of the guide. Those with tablets running 7.3.0 or higher, please proceed with caution, and make sure you have a factory cable on hand if you wish to advance. I strongly recommend you make backups in Step 2.

I'm rooted and downgraded to bootloader version 10.2.3 and it still causes the red screen? I used the computer method and the terminal doesn't have any errors but recovery is not there. My Kindle Fire 2 is disconnected from wifi so it won't be updated to 10.4.1 Any idea why?

i really want to install cyanogenmod 10.1 on my rooted 10.4.6 without fastboot cable, but i think amazon updated bootloader to make it impossible without fastboot cable.
i disabled OTA updates and hope someone figures out 10.4.6 -> CM 10.1 without fastboot cable

"" "" Adb shell su-c "reboot bootloader" "" "" "
I ask for superuser permissions, accept and restart in fastboot mode
Appear a black screen with fastboot logo in red, and a traffic light with flashing green light.

[Q] Issues with rooting a Kindle Fire

I have a 1st Gen Kindle Fire that I am currently trying to root so I can install a new OS. My PC is a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
Steps I have taken:
1. Download and unzip KFU 0.9.9
2. I connected my Kindle Fire to my laptop via USB
3. I clicked on the install_driver.bat file
4. Drivers installed successfully
5. Device Manager sees the Kindle Fire but it doesn't show up in My Computer as a storage device
6. I clicked the run.bat file and opened the KFU
ADB Status: Offline
Boot Status: Unknown
7. In KFU I selected option 2 and hit enter
8. I receive the following message in KFU
Activating Fastboot <4002>
Oops... something went wrong.
We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire.
Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.
twrp.img has been found.
fff.bin has been found.
Notice
Fastboot uses a different device than ADB.
You should check device manager for "Kindle" or "Amazon"
If you see it, rerun the driver installer that came packaged with KFU.
Installing FFF...
<waiting for device>
9. a. With KFU open I install the drivers and nothing happens.
b. With KFU closed I install the drivers and repeat steps 6-8
After updating the Kindle Fire drivers in Device Manager, it goes from being an ADB device to a USB composite device.
1. skip installing drivers that came with KFU.
2. Open run.bat
ADB Status: Online
Boot Status: Unknown
3. Select 2 and press enter
4. Receive following message
Installing Permanent Root
Activating Fastboot <4002>
2726KB/s <510876 bytes in 0.183s>
couldn't write bp1, panic!
The kindle has been told to reboot inFastboot Mode. (I can see the Kindle visibly restart and come to the locked screen.)
twrp.img has been found.
fff.bin has been found.
Notice
Fastboot uses a different device than ADB (the same message as before.)
So, am I missing any steps? Where do I go from here? This is my first attempt at rooting anything so keep that in mind. That's why I chose my Kindle Fire since it's almost useless to me with that Amazon OS. I apologize for it being a long post but I wanted to be perfectly clear on what I have and have not done.

Still Issues
So, I followed that link you posted and I followed the video instructions and it still acts like my device isn't connected.
They mention that I should switch the modes between Camera and Media, but the Kindle doesn't have a camera, so I'm not sure what the alternate method would be.
I'm trying the saferoot version detailed in the video and in that link this time.
Edit: I tried the same steps without installing the drivers and it worked perfectly! Thanks
