How to restore from this menu

My Mac is not seeing the Kindle device and it is stuck at the FFF yellow triangle.
(update)
Now I have recovery options seen below. What is the best and easiest way to go back stock from here? I have downloaded the kindle fire update from Amazon.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I took the update from amazon, renamed the bin to zip, and put it on the SD card. In recovery I hit update from SD card. Now it is stuck on the OEM kindle fire logo. Is this where I HAVE to have a factory cable?

No, you need to use the mount function in recovery to mount your sdcard. When mounted it will show up as an external drive on your computer. Transfer a new rom and the latest version of firefirefire from your computer to your sdcard. FFF 1.4 now comes in a flashable "Flash.zip" that can be installed in recovery.
Read about the new FFF and how to use it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25598837
Make ABSOLUTELY SURE that you have done an md5check on FFF before installing in recovery.
Install a new rooted rom in recovery and if you need to, use the new FFF to change your bootmode to normal (fixes stuck at boot logo)

Thank you , but how am I going to use recovery if I am stuck at the kindle fire OEM logo after hitting update in recovery as seen under the picture? The only way I can see the kindle is to mount breakdroid and do an ADB check, but it still doesn't mount the SD card.
I've been staring at this for 12 hours.

Okay it seems as there is a breakdown in communication here, so let's try to figure this out.
The OEM Kindle Fire logo that you see is the bootloader. The bootloader has several bootmodes to boot from. You want it to boot into normal bootmode (4000) but instead you're booting into fastboot (4002). When the new update tried to install itself it saw that you were using a modified system and caused the error. Installing the new FFF will fix your bootmode problem, but you still need a working rom to boot into (preferably a custom rom). If you like the stock rom, MoDaCo is a good alternative until there is enough information about the 6.3.1 update.
If you can't mount your sdcard in recovery you should still be able to boot into recovery and "adb push" a rom.zip and the FFF Flash.zip to your sdcard for flashing in recovery.

Thank you very much for the info. This is pretty much where I am stuck as I do not know how to do what you described. Even as long as I have been here I still haven't been bothered with terminal commands on my mac until recently. New world for me. Gotta learn sometime.
I have tried every way possible to "boot in recovery" and nothing is helping. If I can just get it back stock I'll start from scratch, but I'd need a few instructions if you would mind saving my butt here and telling me how to do as you describe. I'm hung at the logo and the mac doesn't see the Kindle SD card so can I get maybe an A, B, C recovery explanation from you this once? I'm sure I'll return the favor one day.
I can't mount the SD, but I do have some power over the Kindle.

With Mac it should be fairly easy (I'll try to make it as easy as possible).
First and foremost, turn off your device while I write up a tutorial so your battery doesn't die and leave you in a worse place than you are now.

Thanks a bunch! it's plugged in and fully charged. It was at 75% when everything went bad and it had an orange light, now it has green so I believe it went ahead and charged to 100%.
At the moment this is all I seem to be able to do. Mostly limited to my lack of knowledge of command. (tried it other ways too, just not doing it right)

Find copies of the following files and place them on your desktop.
TWRP 2.1
FireFireFire 1.4 Flash.zip
fastboot
adb
Rename the openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img to twrp.img (just to make it easy) Make sure FireFireFire is named Flash.zip
Open a new terminal window and enter the following commands
Code:
cd desktop
...and because you are already in fastboot mode (4002)...
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery twrp.img
When you get a prompt that says "waiting for device" turn your Kindle on. You should see that the image was installed.
Now you have to change your bootmode to recovery
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5003
Code:
fastboot reboot
If the device doesn't reboot automatically, hold the power button until it shuts off then restart. The device should boot into recovery.
While in recovery you can only enter adb commands.
Code:
adb push Flash.zip /sdcard
Then use the same command to push whatever custom rom you want installed (not pure stock for now)
...when finished select install, and on the right-hand side of the screen select and install Flash.zip If you dont see the files you pushed to your Kindle, reboot and they should show up. That will install FireFireFire1.4
Use the same steps to install custom rom. Before installing custom roms, make sure you perform a "factory reset" (wipe data), wipe system, wipe cache, and wipe Dalvik cache.
Then reboot
Your Kindle Fire splash screen should now be blue. As soon as you see it for the first time press and hold the power button until it turns orange. There will be options on the bottom. Hold the power button for a second to cycle through the options. You want to change your bootmode to "normal". It will select automatically after a few moments. If the "normal" selection doesn't work try "reset bootmode"

OMG You're lucky you didn't hard-brick your device with that.

Thank you so much, it's not going past waiting for device.

Video:
(the kindle logo is not actually oscillating, just appears that way)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xplRRqUgv78

Keep trying it, sometimes it doesn't work right away. You could try entering the command with the device turned on to see if that works. Keep at it. It will work.
If after a few tries, it still doesn't work, make sure you are actually in fastboot:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4002
[Edit:] ignore
[Edit2:] It's hard to tell from the video but, is the Kindle Fire logo actually flashing? Nevermind, you already answered that.

Thank you, I am actually getting waiting for device on that as well

Okay hold on a second. How were you able to get adb to connect? What happens when you type:
Code:
adb devices
If it returns a string of numbers, then try:
Code:
adb shell idme bootmode 4002
adb reboot
...and that will put you in fastboot so you can enter fastboot commands

When I do that in Snow Leopard (the only OS I have been using for this) I get the same error any shell command gives me.

That sucks...It looks like you messed up your shell somehow. If that's the case, you need a factory cable before you can go any further.

Well it's ok electronics is what I do. I can have one made up in less than ten minutes. What do I do once I make it?
(and THANK YOU!)

You need the command for installing FFF1.4 with adb. I know most of it but I forgot which partition the bootloader is on. I'll look around to see if I can find it.
[Edit:] Nevermind, you need a shell for that as well.

Thank you, I'll make the cable.

The factory cable will force you into fastboot mode. You need it to flash recovery and firefirefire.

OK so when I make this cable (I'm going to use a 1k resistor since that seems to be the recommendation) and plug it in, turn the kindle on, it will look the same, but be in fastboot mode, then from there I'll do whatever I need just let me know.

When you get it into fastboot mode start over from...
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
[Edit:] let me know if you succeded in installing twrp

While pictures are lovely, could you explain what you were doing to install the rom? The steps you took can help others give you directions.

the rom you are installing is for stock partitions, the bootloader you have is for OtterX partition roms
did you use advanced options to change partitions? if so you need a different rom or change back to stock kindle partitions
recovery may be toast
in device manager, do you see an android phone, if so drivers should be good

[Q] Bricked (Stuck) Kindle Fire 6.3.2

My Kindle Fire is 6.3.2.
I tried to root it using KFU. I went to install_drivers.bat, and it says "google, inc- Winusb failed." For some stupid reason, i chose to ignore that and went on to root through the KFU and "Install permanent root with superuser" and now it says
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>
So I am now stuck on a permanent logo screen (Black and orange), with no animation. I can turn it off and on.
Pretty much everything I try to do ends with "waiting for device."
I believe it has something to do with missing drivers, although I am not entirely sure on any of this at this point.

Windows 7 or 8?
Sent from my XT862 using Tapatalk

Maybe try the unbrick utility.
I'm having some issues with the KFU myself, after installing the drivers Windows device manager no longer sees the Kindle when it's stock booted. I can mount from TWRP but it appears under Portable devices as E:/ , not Kindle. Root and installation of google apps did not take, though it ran to completion and said all done. KFU hangs when it tries to activated Fastboot (4002) so many of the other options of KFU wont run.

Note: Now the Kindle is not being recognized when plugged in via USB. not sure why, no conditions have changed.

Oops... something went wrong.
We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire.
Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.

I have already tried the options on the KF Unbricking Utility.

Ok, I wasn't running KFU through administrator. Smoooooth...
The Kindle is now recognized when plugged in through USB, still says
Kindle
-Kindle Orange Fastboot Mode | Gen 1
KFU says ADB Status: Online, Boot Status: Unknown
I tried installing TWRP through KFU and now it says
Setting normal bootmode
Please wait....
The system cannot find the path specified

*******************************************************
* All Done! *

Thats all folks, TWRP has been installed.
Please tap reboot on the kindle.
Press any key to continue....
So obviously, I tried rebooting again, and again, and still the same logo screen, no animation.
Note: In the device manager driver details, my kindles drivers are the same as the screenshot posted earlier.

Ok, just switched to a Windows 7 PC. I just successfully installed the drivers using the install_drivers.bat in the KFU.
In the Device Manager, it's now showing up as..
Android Phone
Android ADB Interface
The Kindle still shows as the white and orange splash screen, with no animation.

THANK YOU!
I followed the video, and now I am at the point that the video left on.
So obviously I'm trying to install a ROM (Jellybean/ Cyanamogen). From this point, how would I go about doing that?
I just really don't want to screw this up again.

Ok, now I have another problem, with a completely different Kindle (6.3.2)
I've installed FFF and TWRP, and I'm trying to install Jellybean 4.2.2 on it through TWRP.
When I'm trying to move the ROM and GAPPS zips to the G: folder, it won't show up, even though the kindle is recognized as..
Android Phone
Android ADB Composite Interface
I'm almost positive this is because the Kindle has a passcode on it, which i forgot to remove before this whole process. This wouldn't be a huge deal, as a factory reset through TWRP would erase the pass code anyways. However, after I do the factory reset successfully, and then go to reboot-system, it will go back to the blue/white logo, then go to the white/orange unanimated logo, which it gets stuck at.
If there was a way to get the files onto the SD without going through the conventional way, it wouldn't be an issue, but i don't know of way to

You used fastboot.exe to flash twrp and bootloader, right?
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
so you have adb.exe that came with it, use adb.exe to push rom and gapps to sd card
place rom and gapps files in c:adb folder use exact file names
Code:
adb push romname.zip /sdcard
adb push gappsname.zip /sdcard

[HELP] Did I just brick my Kindle? Wiped system and data and now nothing will install

So I was rooted and decided I wanted to go back to stock. Foolishly before doing anything I wiped my SDcard, deleting my TWRP backup. I went in to TWRP and wiped DATA and SYSTEM. Now I can not get my Kindle to boot. It just sits at the booting screen. I have tried to install several ROMs but nothing works. They all fail to install. I changed my build.prop to read as a Nexus 7 so that may be the issue but I can't find the build.prop file to edit it back. It's not in /system. KFU didn't help and I cant get the Unbrick tool to even run on my laptop (Windows 10). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure what you are trying to tell me here. I can see the Kindle in ADB. I can run ABD commands against the kindle. This is not an ADB or Driver issue. The issue is that I wiped the system and data partitions and now the Kindle has no OS and I can not get a new one installed.

Ahh okay. Thanks! I'll try that when I get home tonight then.
EDIT: Thought I could get FFF installed via KFU. I could not. Guess I'll have to order a fastboot cable to fix it

Finally got around to getting a fastboot cable. Now, how do I fix the Kindle? I'm not sure that it is going into fastboot mode. It just sits on a screen with the white and blue Kindle Fire logo and says "Booting..." at the bottom of the screen.

Still not working. As soon as I plug the cable into the powered off Kindle, the Kindle turns on. I then plug the USB into the PC. It sits at that same screen.
I run adb devices and it sees it just fine. I run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and is says "Waiting for device". I run "fastboot -i 0x1949 devices" and it returns a blank line. It may be a driver issue. I tried installing drivers from KFU but it fails every time. Any idea where I can get the drivers? I'm on Windows 10.

driver signature enforcement needs to be turned off, to install drivers from KFU
if adb commands work, fastboot commands will not, and visa versa
they are mutually exclusive
Could try running fastboot command before plugging fastboot cable in
