(solved) my kindle go to recovery by it self.

Hi to all
I have a problem with my rooted kindle fire.
when I open the kindle it gives me the yellow triangle, the green light turns orange by it self ( with out me pressing any the button ) and go to recovery .
I tried to do every thing with my kindle, like formating and install the rom again.
but nothing worked for me.
and still take to recovery every time.
I need your help please​

After rebooting the system from recovery does it then boot into the system? And what bootloader are you using?
---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------
I guess I should also ask what rom you are using and which version of recovery?
Edit: sorry I can see your using the old fff bootloader
---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------
But answer the other questions please rom? And just an assumption your probably using twrp 2.0?

Im usin CM7 ROM with TWRP 2.0

would the fff solve the problem ?

does it boot to the system from recovery?

It's a bug of prior versions 2.1.1 of TWRP. You can change boot mode in KFU. I urge you to flash new version of FFF as well as TWRP for ease of your life. Just select them in KFU.

I have a back up file since it was on the original ROM.
but I back up I can do nothing because it takes me to recovery.

should I try updating the fff for now ?

link is probably right use kfu to reset your bootmode to normal if adb status is online

KFU is "Kindle Fire Utility" and you are running it right now.
It has a "Bootmode" menu. Select it.
You will then see a "Normal" item. Select it.
This will set your bootmode to normal so you don't end up in recovery all the time.

At a minimum, upgrade your TWRP to 2.1.1 using the script above. Also consider upgrading FireFireFire to 1.4a.

[Q] Kindle Fire 1st gen bricked after fail root and factory cable.

Hello all,
I had a Kindle Fire 1st gen lying around in my house and I decided that I would get android on it. I downloaded kfu and pressed 2 and enter. It did its stuff but then I thought it was stuck. I stupidly unpluged my kindle and now It is stuck on the stock orange kindle fire logo. I plugged the kindle into the computer and device manager told me it was an unidentified device. People told me to buy a factory cable so I did. I plugged the charged kindle into the computer with the factory cable and nothing happened to the kindle. Then I check device manager. It said that a kindle was plugged in but the drivers were not working. Please help me.

I did install the drivers and had to manually change the kindle to the kindle fire drivers. Under kindle fire now there is a android composite adb interface with a screen picture next to it. There was an ! on that so I double clicked it. The device is working properly. The kindle fire i still stuck on the kindle fire stock orange logo. By the way thanks for responding to my thread I really appreciate it.

follow my Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
once FFF and TWRP are installed you can restore pure stock, install my Pre-rooted 6.3.3, or install a custom rom.
Just let me know which way you want to go, after FFF and TWRP ae installed.

Thank you so much for helping me get my kindle back to normal. I have not been able to figure out how to do that in 5 months. Is there a way that I can install android on it. I think there is a custom rom that I can use.

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!

[Q] Tried Pre-rooted Stock 6.3.3, But Stuck after Boot Up

Hi, I just tried to install sd_shadow's prerooted 6.3.3 stock rom, and it shuts off after about 10 seconds of the Kindle Fire boot up screen.
I use TWRP 2.7.1, and it looked like it installed properly.
Any ideas or thoughts?

Think you need to wipe data if using 2.7.x.x it will install fine with 2.2.2.1

Hmmm...tried wiping data. But let me try downgrading to 2.2.2.1 and installing it.
I tried flash installing the Otter X 2.2.2.1 TWRP recovery, but when I try to go to Recovery, OtterX just takes me back to Fastboot. Any idea why that might be happening?

TWRP 2.2.2.1 is not compatible with bootloader 2.04 or 2.05
if you have used otter X partitions you need to revert to anazon partitions, and do proper wipes formats
see [How-To] Revert from OtterX Project to Stock Kindle Fire Rom
if you are on stock amazon partitions
I would flash openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-blaze.img in bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-blaze.img
fastboot reboot
select recovery
install fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip
and zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.zip
reboot
not sure if 2.2.2.1 will boot or not, if not
just flash 2.2.2.1 recovery.img in 1.4a bootloader

So got everything to work, but could there be something wrong with the 6.3.3 Amazon stock rom? It asks me to factory reset before the rom starts up. And then a bunch of applications fail to start at the beginning. Then when I try to restart, it just loops me back into factory resetting again.
Should I go back and try to load the pre-rooted 6.3.3 rom?
Just when I thought I had done it, haha.

Oh boy...so I tried to factory reset from inside the Amazon stock rom, and it's now basically frozen on the Kindle Fire boot-up screen (it's been going for like 30 minutes). I can't get ADB working nor can I get fastboot up. Does it sound like I bricked it?
Any other solutions without using a fastboot cable?

Ah, did not know that. I'm assuming I can just grab the adapter - will do now.

Alright, I'm back here for help! : )
So, I watched like 3 of your videos, and I got my fastboot adapter, and I loaded a recovery and bootloader.
The issue I have now is that I can't access the Kindle Fire from my PC to send the stock rom. Every time I ADB, it says "error: device not found". I mounted the SD card just like you did in the video, and it still doesn't come up. Any ideas?
Also, is there any way I could donate some money to you or something for all of your help. I don't have much, but your time should be compensated.

[Q] Just picked my Kindle back up and having adb problem with Otterx

Hello everyone,
I just found my gen 1 kindle fire in a box and was looking at all the roms out today. I got the newest otterx and twrp installed without a problem. I am still in the amazon partition and have been trying to get adb to work before I change to the otter partition. I have windows 8.1 and got the kindle fire drivers v1.3.1000.0 installed. I see the device in adb but it tells me unauthorized and I cant seem to get it to not say that. I tried kicking it into fast boot but that gives me a unknown device(bad address) in the device manager and it wont let me give it a driver. I hope someone can help me out.
Solved By using windows 7 and the correct TWRP version

If your PC is running Windows 8
Drivers may not install correctly

not sure what you want, when you change partitions all files in system, data, and SD card partitions are wiped.

if the question is 'is adb failure do to wrong partitions' no not likely

Thank you again for your help.
I guess what I am asking is do I need to change the partition type before the adb will not be unauthorized sence I have the otterx twrp installed. I am trying to install the version 2.7.1.0 but I cant figure out how. when i try in fast boot it gives me a unknown error. I still have a rom installed if that helps me I am just not sure how to install the correct version if I cant adb and I can fast boot and I dont see any files on the sd when I go to install in twrp.

if you didn't switch to OtterX partitions yet, see if old rom still boots, if so place OtterX twrp 2.7.1.0. zip on SD card
if you already switched to OtterX partitions, rom is gone

I am stating to think this is not going to work for me. I got the otterx twrp 2.7.1.0 installed and it is no longer unauthorized but now I tried to do a adb push of a apk and it gave me a protocol failure. do you have any ideas on that one?
Thanks

Hey Shadow
I just wanted to thank you again for all the help. I got to work and everything worked smooth on a windows 7 machine.

Thanks for all your help, Shadow. I have an old Fire I hadn't touched in a while, which I had flashed years ago and had an old Clockwork recovery on. I updated the recovery to TWPR, I switched to OtterX partition and now can't get adb to recognize the device so I can flash a new ROM. While trying to boot the old ROM (which stalls out from having no SD anymore) the device shows up under Device Manager normally, but booting into TWRP, the Windows 7 driver installation in unsuccessful and it shows up as "Amazon OtterX" under Device Manager with "!". How do I get adb working in order to install new ROM?
Thanks for your help.

Did you try a different USB port, on a different side of pc?
which twrp version?

TWRP 2.8.2.0. Tried another port and another PC with same results. Can I use USB OTG to flash zip?

Thanks. That does make it showup as an Android Device under Device Manager without any error, but adb still doesn't recognize any devices attached. Any thoughts? Thanks for all your help!

don't need adb If mtp works

if a removable disc doesn't show up in computer with other drives, you need to flash twrp 2.7.1.0 in bootloader
