Accidently Installed Jelly Bean and...

I'm going to try to make a long story short
I downloaded a Jelly Bean ROM and the Amazon Update Stock ROM
I renamed the Jelly Bean ROM to Update.zip (there's my mistake)
I booted into TWRP recovery and applied Update.zip, when I rebooted I had Jelly Bean
No big deal right? I used Kindle Utility to reinstall TWRP, rebooted and was stuck on the Kindle Fire splash... No big deal right?
While trying to correct the problem, I went from not-so-bad to very terrible.
Eventually a fellow co-work built a factory USB cable for me I was able to finally get back to TWRP recovery, flashed the original stock ROM and when it rebooted, I was stuck on Kindle Fire splash again. HELP! Well I had the birght idea of taking all the knowlege I learned to get back into TWRP and was successful in doing so, I then re-flashed the Jelly Bean ROM... lo-and-behold, My fire booted into Jelly Bean
Now with all that said, I would like to know if anyone knows how to take the Kindle Fire back to stock from Jelly Bean, would it be the same as reverting it back if there were another ROM installed? As you can tell by all the problems I've had, I'm a bit hesitant...
Any direction would be apperciated
I went with this following suggestion and was able to get back to the stock look and feel

Thank you everyone for your suggestions... I was very hesitant to re-try it again, this is the first time I've had anything happen like this too me and I've been using Andriod Cupcake days!

I just hope you did a backup before updating and so forth? If so, restore from that.
Otherwise, you'll have to do a Google search and try to find a zip of the stock ROM.

Did you wipe

Dunno what your point is about returning to stock but just flash modaco instead use ota root keeper for your prime video and enjoy the benefits of the Google android market a sort of have your cake and eat it too deal when flashing place modaco on your sdcard wipe factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik wipe system flash modaco reboot and enjoy

I did not do a backup. Do you say I would have to find a full Amazon ROM and not the Update from Amazon?

Of course its always best to make a backup prior to flashing

Wow lots of information there...
I did make the mistake of trying to flash stock rom and lost fff and twrp, I was able to recover from that by using a modified USB cable
I would like to go back to 100% stock even without root, I've had my Fire rooted from day one and don't really use any of the features that rooting unlocks, basically I use it to view Netflix and Amazon prime, play some games on it... I thought I'd use it for work but if work wants me to have a tablet, they'll buy me one! HAHA
If I decide to use the rom you suggested, I'll make sure not to use the version you said to stay away from
If I make a backup now, it's going to just backup the existing freshly installed rom. What's the difference between backing up the fire now and reinstalling the JellyBean rom?
I appreciate all your information

kindle jelly bean google play issue
Hi all,
I have successfully installed JB 4.1.1 (full_otter-userdebug 4.1.1 JRO03 eng.hashcode.20120713.003406 test keys) and I have two issues:
1. google play does not run (start). It was not installed at all, and when installed from APK (v3.7.11) is crashes at startup
2. I don't see the device using adb and I am not able to boot into recovery mode to re-flash it...
Any ideas appreciated, since now I am now able to read my amazon content on it.... ;(
cheers
Daniel

First of all you must flash gapps after your ROM secondly don't you have fff bootloader use that to enter recovery if you don't have fff will need to add it using kfu if you can't get kfu to see your kindle likely you will need to reinstall your drivers to do so
Daniel if you have a yellow triangle when you first boot hold the power button till it turns orange this will take you to recovery where you can flash jb gapps if you have a screen with white kindle and blue fire press your power button quickly a few times till you get a small boot menu at the bottom select recovery with your power button this will take you to recovery sorry you can't use smirkis unless you can get to recovery so completely disregard that

Thanks. I would like to flash gapps, but as I can not access recovery mode I dunno how to do it. I don have FFF, how can I install it once having JB 4.1?

KitKat ROMS dont work with TWRP 2.2.2.1

I have sucessfully installed CM 10.2, it frequently shuts itself off (but never when the screen is on). I suspect this is a ROM issue. I would like to flash a new ROM that is KitKat based, because those are the only ones that i can seem to find and i would think there would be some performance upgrade. I've tried to flash a couple KitKat ROMs already and they give me a "status 7", which if im not mistaken is due to the TWRP version not being compatible with KitKat. I've looked all around for an updated TWRP version and all i have found is .img files (this is a no go for me because adb is just very difficult on my computer right now).
Edit: found a .zip file but it says blaze instead of otter, would this be compatible?

that's the right one

no for CM11 you need TWRP 2.6.3.0 or better
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591850
from OP
If you have problems with that file and/or don't want to use adb/fastboot flash method, you can download a flashable .zip from the following locations. Use your existing recovery to flash the update:

The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery

yea then TWRP downloaded and i rebooted

I would think that a reboot is required, and goo should auto reboot when ready,
but if it has been several minutes, maybe a manual reboot should be done.

How to update TWRP if you're stuck in TWRP

Hey,
I've tried to update my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 to the newest CM11 version, but I wasn't careful enough to update my TWRP 2.4.4.0 beforehand to the newest version, resulting in a Kindle that is stuck in recovery (TWRP).
I managed to load with ADB the newest TWRP version (2.7) on the device, but I can't seem to be able to install the file from TWRP (it only recognizes the CM11 and Google apps files in the folder, but not the kfhd8-twrp-2.7.0.0-recovery.img file I loaded).
Any chance anyone knows to make this happen so I can get back to using the Kindle?
(unfortunately, I failed to do a backup and I don't want to wipe everything since I have a quite a few files that I won't be able to restore)
Thanks!

So how about you push your AROMA fix to the official TWRP trees that everyone can profit from it?
Also that image is certainly not created by me. It might be based on the official TWRP, but the way you put it is missleading IMO.

Hi I am quite having a hard time figuring out how to install TWRP on my XZP dual global version.
I already flashed the latest firmware last August... I also tried to follow installing it through ADB using command prompt yet nothing did work... Is there someone out here who can help me with flashing TWRP... Thanks

I use in this moment the original 3.2.3-0 version.
Where's is the problem to install TWRP? enable adb, call adb during running phone and accept the PC all time.
If the bootloader unlocked,, boot in Fastmode (hold Volume up during connecting the USB cable with the PC) . Check the driver via fastboot devices, If you see the phone call fastboot flash revovery TWRP. img (if your TWRP version has the name "TWRP. img"). After that you can boot into TWRP

You need to flash a kernel from a custom ROM first (like CarbonROM) in order to be able to boot from the recovery (FOTAKERNEL) partition. The stock kernels have recovery built-in and would use that instead of TWRP. You can get a CarbonROM kernel image (boot.img) from its flashable zip.
After flashing a custom kernel you can then flash the TWRP image via "fastboot flash recovery <recovery image>". You'll have to reboot the phone and follow the usual button combination (though I don't really know it's holding volume up or down) to access the recovery. Using "fastboot boot" will not work and it'll stuck on the Sony logo with the blue fastboot LED stay on.

I think twrp found from this thread,,you can check TWRP Folder,
,https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78121448&postcount=4

I've also the Stock Kernel (Pie) on the phone and can reach TWRP without any problems : you must hold Power and Volume (up or down? Not sure in this moment) till you see TWRP on the Screen (around 6 Sec.) Maybe the screen switched off... Switch it on via short press via Power... That's all
