I rooted my Kindle Fire i want to get on 4.4 and make it a Nexus 7. I have Twrp 2.6 or something to that effect. Everytime i try to flash a ROM I get a error. Whats the problem? I have FFF too.

If anyone can point me to a post that might help me that would be great. I have used kfu to root and install twrp and FFF on multiple KF's. For some reason I can't get to TWRP through FFF on one of them. When it's booting and the light goes dim in FFF I press power- it goes orange, then the KF just reboots. When it reboots it is not stuck at FFF it just reboots normal.
I know TRWP is installed because I can get to it through the KFU by "install latest TWRP recovery". That starts TWRP on my KF but that is the only way I can get to TWRP- with it hooked to my PC using KFU.
MY KF is rooted/ stock 6.3
Have you tried installing TWRP manually?

same problem with me!that's what i always do when flashing to a new rom.i've read quite a lot from here and they say its due to twrp not installing not properly.
please don't try to flash to other rom first cause it is dangerous.If your kfu cant detect your kf,then you will have a tough time to flash back your original rom.
i myself is in trouble now.
To both of you: I'm willing to bet that you guys have the stock recovery installed in the recovery partition and not TWRP. When you select recovery in the FFF bootloader, it's booting into the stock recovery which is designed to run a set of commands and then reboot automatically into the system. In addition, I'd also bet that you have TWRP 2.1.0 in your KFU folder. The developer of KFU at one point jumped the gun on the new version of TWRP which needs to be installed in a different manner than version 2.0.0. If you guys would take the time to learn to use fastboot manually and not depend on KFU to do this, you could install the latest version of TWRP (version 2.1.1) and not have these problems.
To jhaz: If you delete your KFU folder and download KFU again, I'm confident that you can do the same as you did on your other Kindle Fire devices to get the old version of TWRP installed.
To chaukeng: You are in a different boat because you won't get adb working on gedeROM without reinstalling your device drivers manually. gedeROM requires different device driver settings and the explanation for the reason why is way beyond the scope of this post. You can redownload KFU like I suggested to jhaz, try to follow the 2nd post in the Beginners Guide to install the drivers manually and then hope that KFU can install TWRP for you so you can reflash a new ROM... OR you can learn to use fastboot, get the FFF bootloader to stay in fastboot mode by stopping the temporary fastboot countdown, and flash TWRP manually so you can reflash a new ROM. What I just said probably makes very little sense to you, but all the information you need to understand this is in the Beginners Guide. If you study it carefully, you'll get all the information you need to fix your device. KFU is going to be of little use to you right now. You'll need to get your hands dirty a bit.
Kinfauns- That did the trick thanks so much for your help.
I have Hashcode's latest kernel and rom. I have Twrp 2.0 plus fff 1.4. Hashcode's rom included Rom Manager which has CWMR in it but I can't install it because it says I have Kindle Fire. I was wondering if I even need it and if I do how do I install it?

All you need is twrp and fff http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651413
If you have twrp there is no need to installing cwmr. It does the same purpose. I tried installing both a few months ago. I got myself a brick in which I could not get back in to recovery. I did manage to fix it after a couple days. So only install one. I prefer twrp but CWM does the same thing.
You should consider updating the TWRP recovery currently on your device to version 2.1.1. It handles reboots correctly, so it won't leave you stuck in recovery mode like version 2.0.0.
If you are using a custom ROM, you can use smirkit to painlessly upgrade.

Hi all, I really tried searching everywhere in the forum to solve my issue and I couldn't find anything specific, so I'll try and explain what's happened to me:
This is the first time I tried to install custom roms in my kindle, so I instaled TWRP and FFF and went to install the Rom I downloaded. I had an error message and just couldn't install it... So I wen't to restore my stock backup and just couldn't either. I then tried to install the stock firmware and what happened is that it didn't install the stock firmware properly!
So I'm stuck at the boot logo image, with no OS and no TWRP, FFF, Root or anything... I connect the kindle to my pc (windows) and open kindle fire utility (0.9.9) and I get ADB Status: Online but Boot Status: Unknown... When I try to reinstall TWRP, KFU tries to reboot it in fast boot mode but gets stuck at waiting for device...
How the hell can I get access to my kindle so I can install TWRP again???

I'm guessing you didn't factory reset in recovery before restoring the stock firmware? You need a factory cable.
same issue but I have twrp and fff on mine
When i got the kindle it had nipad ( everything was in chineese) and stock rom (english) installed. the stock rom kept having errors. I installed twrp and fff on the kindle. during the stock install I must have wiped the os some how. when I try to flash the rom it errors, see attached picture. now it won't go past the kindle fire logo unless i put it in recovery. Thank you for any help.
I have an Amazon Kindle Fire running FFF 1.4a, TWRP 2.6.0.0 and CM10.
Trying to install the latest CM11 ROM, but when I flash it, the Kindle goes into and endless reboot cycle (It says "Booting" at the bottom, then reboots, and repeats).
So then I tried installing the latest TWRP using the Kindle Fire Utility (also tried with adb) and it appears my Kindle cannot reboot into fastboot mode to allow the upgrade to take place. When the Kindle receives the "reboot into fastboot" command, it reboots, but I just get the TWRP menu with "Normal" and "Recovery" choices.
Luckily I can flash my old ROM and it works fine. ButI would love to upgrade to CM11 if possible.
Is the latest TWRP (2.6.3.1 at the time of this writing) required to install CM11? The post for CM11 states the "latest TWRP" is required.
Thanks!

Yes the latest TWRP is required
Is the latest TWRP requirement also necessary is you're trying to install either of the newer HellFire 4.4.xx roms? I'm on 2.2.2.1, (TWRP), and can't seem to get it to work, just pops up an error every time. I had thought about upgrading TWRP, but had read that there were a lot of problems with it. So if I upgrade to the latest TWRP, should this sole my HellFire problem?
So, for some reason, I cannot get TWRP to update. I tried both GooManager and ROM Installer apps. They both try to install TWRP but are unable to get the device to reboot into fast mode. In fact GooManager claims that TWRP was installed successfully, but then the reboot fails. When I go back into TWRP, it is still the old version.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks!
You need to flash the version that hashcode updated specifically for the Fire. Link below, flash like any other zip.
TWRP 2.6.3.1 by Hashcode
It will still say 2.6.3.0 but it is updated and will work with cm11 ROMs

I have been going crazy for about a month trying to flash cm 10.1.3 on my kindle fire 2. First i rooted the kindle then i followed the steps here to get twrp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963 Since then i was not able to flash any roms or even go back to stock. I have tried KFfirstaid, http://n2aos.com/ recovery but I just get kindle error message. I reflash twrp and back to where i am now. I have twrp 2.6.3.1. If anyone could help that would be great.

That error basically means that rom is incompatible with your device. I recommend grabbing a copy of cm11 not cm 10.1 and flashing it, it has way more bug fixes and improvements than the old cm 10.1 builds.
I tried slim rom and cm11 same issue flashing both. I was able to get back to stock think im going to wait a bit before i root and flash again.
You sure you are on a kindle fire 2 then? You can always go into fastboot and query "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and it will tell you the model's codename. Or just look for it in the build.prop on the system partition.
