I upgraded to 6.3.3. hoping my kindle fire would stop rebooting and what not since I liked stock ROM too. It didn't stop the rebooting so I opted to just re-flash it to a custom again. I downloaded TWRP 2.2.2.1. I read I have to download FFF from KFU so I figured if I press 5 for "install the latest FFF" it would download and then I would flash my KF using command prompt and the fastboot.exe. I forgot I left my Kindle Fire plugged in in fastboot mode with my fastboot cable when I tried to download FFF. Now I have FFF installed with no recovery. When I plug in my fastboot cable into my kindle it just boots up to FFF and I can't enter fastboot mode now. How do I install recovery. Whenever I am able to unlock my Kindle fire, five seconds later it reboots. Also my computer doesn't see it plugged in anymore when it boots in.
Does kindle show as an android phone in device manager?
If so use adb/fastboot.exe to flash twrp in fff bootloader (it supports fastboot flashing) should be links in my
my prerooted 6.3.3 zip

No, when I plug it in I get usb device not recognized only when I'm in the FFF. When I boot into kindle fire it does say Android phone,
edit
Oh I was able to install TWRP. When my kindle fire was not being recognized when it boots into FFF I just had to turn it off after it booted into kindle fire ROM, then turn it on again my plugging in the cable and my computer saw it as the kindle fire device and I just had to change the drive to android phone. I have twrp 2.2.2.1 installed now. Thanks I didn't know FFF supported fastboot. I think I know what to do now.
Did you try the boot to recovery option in fff boot menu?

Yes, I was able to boot into recovery and was able to install your pre-rooted 6.3.3. Thank you so much! Its been 10+ mins since I installed your ROM and it hasn't rebooted. I'm finally able to enjoy the stock ROM again! Thanks again.

i don't know if it's a glitch or by design, but KFU sometimes installs both, bootloader and recovery, at same time.

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?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium
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 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've tried to flash back to stock with TWRP 2.2.2.1 I believe the version and I flashed the official stock 6.3.2 and everything appeared to go well when I noticed it stayed on that screen for a bit longer than it should and it never booted up properly. The devices is recognized by my PC in the name 'kindle' so ADB drivers are working properly and my device is not bricked completely :silly:
Did you do a factory wipe before install?
No reason to install 6.3.2 anyways, once it connects to wifi it will download and auto install 6.3.3.
Think you will need to flash fff bootloader/twrp and try again, or try my prerooted 6.3.3 zip

Buy a fastboot cable here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693 post #9
So I got a Kindle Fire from a yard sale only to find out that the Kindle Fire has been stuck in the kindle fire logo. I then used KFU to boot the tablet up normally and then flashed SuperSU. Then, I decided to flash TWRP and FireFireFire 1.4. FireFireFire has been working correctly, but it won't boot into recovery. I am running 6.0 (can't update as the stock firmware was broken in the first place.) Is there anything I could do now?
