Kindle fire

I rooted my kindle fire. Then i wanted to resize my partition on kindle fire. So i used fireparted. When i rebooted my kindle it didnt load completely. So i installed it back to stock. When i rebooted it it said kindle fire has to restore back to factory settings or something. My root got deleted. Any ideas??

yeah when you restore to stock it wipes out fff and twrp and your root so use kfu to install twrp and fff again no need to root if your gonna flash a rom just make sure you allow installation from unknown sources under device once you can access twrp make a backup that you will later rename noroot631 then flash to you liking

It says on KFU ADB Statusnline Boot Status: Unknown, and when i try to install twrp it doesnt do anything And when i try to reset it to factory it says failed to mount /cache(no such file directory) At the end.

Keep working with your drivers It says online

What????

He means, make sure your drivers are installed correctly. You can check out tutorials and stuff on YouTube.

My kindle fire doesnt even boot up to the home screen. It says "Your Kindle has detected a problem and must clear App storage. The recovery process will erase applications and data from your debice. Apps from the appstore are stored in the cloud and can be reinstalled later. This will reset your kindit to its orgional factory settings. You will need to re-register your Kindle prior to downloading items from you Amazon account. Please press the power button to proceed." So when i press the power button it says reseting then is said "failed to mount /cache."

It doesn't reset back to factory. WHy is that??

any ideas?

Bump...

Cause you messed up your partitions using parted and then flashed stock who knows what you broke if I had to guess I bet something isn't mounting like your cache or SD card

Yeah in twrp settings when you go to restore set it to skip md5 check and signature verification. Also go to mount and make sure there are no checks I'm the boxes of system and data if there are unchecked them and try a reboot as for fff when you get it running use kfu to send that to your kindle kinda hard to access recovery without it
Edit: a couple of side notes did you wipe? What did you wipe? What rom did you use? If it was a rom with the gapps pre baked in IMO when the gapps are added in there are often mounting issues . If gapps were not added did you flash the proper gapps?

i use cwm recovery because that was what ive always used.. i can connect my kindle to computer an kfu recognizes it online but it freezes whenever i try to use twrp recovery or cliclk fff any backdoor way of switching recoveries without using kfu?

Make sure your driver is android adb composite interface if it says android adb interface this driver is incorrect . Twrp really is the standard for the kindle. If your having trouble booting to the system then mount your sdcard transfer this bootloader to your card unmount and flash it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632375 only download it from this link. Then transfer this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773 and the gingerbread gapps provided on this page to your sdcard wipe factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik wipe system flash rom flash gapps reboot system if prompted . Should boot fine for you then the rest can get sorted out when you have a running system use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500935 to replace cwmr with twrp when you reach that point good luck

Thank you worked like a charm

I need help to fix my kindle fire

Hello i need some help to fix my kindle fire. I was using the kf utility to try and root my fire and some how deleted my system files so when it reboots it goes to the twrp screen and when I try to reboot from there it says there is an error and system wont boot. I just got my kf a week ago and I am perplexed with fixing it, being I am used to Android 4.0, I would be thankfull for any help i could get.
Thanks very much racerx....

Download a rom on your computer. Hook the fire up to the usb port. In twrp, mount the sdcard and push the rom to the kindle. Unmount and install the rom from twrp. Reboot and enjoy.

In TWRP go to mount, and mount as a USB drive. Then side-load a rom into any of the sd card folders. Custom rom or if you want to return to stock Kindle, download the latest update, change it from a bin to a .zip file, and load that.
Then, still in TWRP, choose to install the rom you loaded, and let it go from there.
Hah, didn't see Ixthusdan's reply, or else I wouldn't have posted dup info, sorry!

Install this Jelly Bean ROM. Sweetest thing ever.

[Q] Unable to install stock ROM on Kindle Fire

Hi.So I used to have Cyanogenmod installed on my rooted Kindle Fire, along with FFF and TWRP recovery. I was not satisfied with the performance of Cyangogenmod, so I wanted to install the Stock Amazon ROM back onto the Fire. First, I booted into TWRP, and erased everything with the 'wipe' option (might not have been a good idea). I have downloaded the Amazon ROM from here: http://kindle-fire-updates.s3.amazonaws.com/update-kindle-6.3_D01E_4019920.bin, and renamed the file 'update.zip'. I mount the Fire, and drag over the update.zip, and then I go to 'install' in TWRP and select the update.zip, but after I start it, the install just fails, seconds after it's started. There are a couple errors, such as "Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/update.zip'". I have ADB installed, and Kindle Fire Utility, which detects the device as 'online', boot status 4000. I have tried install COTR recovery with KFU, but it hangs at 'Activating Fastboot (4002)'. I would really appreciate any help with this, because it would really suck if it turns out that I bricked my Fire. Thanks!

If a flash does not complete, it has to be a bad download. Get the file again and push it to the sdcard via twrp. But if you are having trouble, why flash factory? If it is some corruption, flash a rom. Kindle store and reader fail because of the app, generally. Notice my device says Nexus 7? That is how to fool the kindle apps on a fully functioning kindle fire.

I have redownloaded the flash from Amazon at least five times, all with the same results.
As far as pushing it to the sdcard via twrp, I guess I for one don't know how to do that.
As to why I would want to go back to factory with it, I guess for me, it is what I prefer.
Thank you for answering though. I do appreciate it.

Same here, fixed!

I had the same problem. I ended up reverting back to TWRP 2.2.2.1, which can read the update.zip properly.
I downloaded the older version from techerrata dot com --> twrp2 -->blaze-->openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img
I then used my fastboot cable and ran fastboot -i 0x1949 boot openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img.
This allowed me to run the older twrp, clear out my /system, and get back to stock.

I just get stuck at < waiting for device > on my command prompt. Where am I supposed to open the cmd?

I just wanted to say, after several hours of searching through Google and messing with my Kindle, this thread finally helped me fix it.
My biggest issue was, I was unable to flash any thing, even the twrp. So what I had to do was this,
I googled the twrp 2.2.2.1 blaze img as mentioned here, then I renamed it to twrp.img and put it in the folder inside KFU -> Recovery
My other issue was with my Kindle being stuck at the Boot Logo saying, "Booting" and I noticed through trial and error, before the kindle goes to try to boot (When you can select Normal, Recovery, Reset Boot) that if I kept pressing the power button to cycle through the options, I could keep the Kindle in a Fastboot mode so I could use the KFU to install the TWRP 2.2.2.1
After that it was simple, booted into twrp, mounted the drive and stuck the Stock Rom from Amazon on there and installed it.
So I really just wanted to say thank you to this thread and hopefully I can contribute a small bit to someone if they have my issue.

[Q] A real brick? Can not mount system

Hello all -
I have been toying with this gen 1 (maybe 2... not sure) off and on for about half a year now.
The device used to work great and was running stock OS. One day it just gave up the ghost. My daughter was using it and it would not start up into the OS. When starting the device, it would load the yellow Kindle Fire screen and just hang indefinitely.
Using a factory USB cable, I was able to use KFU and get TWRP loaded.
Within TWRP I can see the SD card (contains ".android" and "TWRP" folders) and even load files from the PC to the SD card.
When I go up levels, I can see what I think to be the OS directories, but none of them seem to contain any files.
One of the folders is named 'system' so I have a good feeling this is the OS.
However, I am not able to mount the system nor the data partitions within TWRP.
On my PC I can explore the device and I can see the SDcard perfectly fine, but no system or data.
What I would like to do is just reload the stock OS back on.
I have loaded the latest Amazon update to the SD card and tried to install it.
Near instantly, the TWRP screen says that it can't find directories and it fails/stops.
I have tried every button in TWRP for fixing permissions, wiped system, cache, etc. (everything cleared), resetting everything etc etc.
To no avail, I still can't get the system to mount.
I do encounter an error when fixing permissions as it fails every time. It says it can't fix permissions and wants me to try again after booting a ROM. (whatever that means?).
.
I have also tried using adb shell to force the device to reboot into fastload and then load the OS update.
I was able to get the latest TWRP loaded this way, but could not get the OS to go.... again, it can't find the directories.
Currently, when I start up the device I get a blue logo screen and can get into TWRP. If I go to boot normally, it continues to the stock yellow logo, dims, and freezes.

Also I dont think mounting system and data to pc from recovery actually works. Just drop a Rom on to your sdcard do a full wipe and flash it. Before you reboot select mount you dont have to be connected to pc make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data if so uncheck them then select reboot system.

I give this a try. I wasn't able to do the first part with resetting the partition tables so wend to where it gets set it into recovery mode and moved on.
Everything worked from adb shell.
I went back to the KF, mounted the SD card.
Downloaded a new update for the KF from Amazon and renamed it from bin to zip.
Copied it to the KF SDcard. Verified the KF was in bootmode 5000 and tried to install.
No dice - errors.
I tried downloading the update through KFU. Pushing that update through ADB to the SDcard. TWRP factory reset and tried install.
No dice - errors.
Skips MD5 check.and then rattles this out:

Your error is due to the fact that your trying to flash blaze with an otter recovery it's totally normal new recoveries don't like old updater scripts.
The updater script in sd_shadow 's zip is modified to avoid that error. When flashing stock use cannibal open touch recovery it will not give you this error just make sure you wipe cache, dalvik, data and system prior to flashing update.zip. It's not a good idea anyway wipes your recovery and bootloader anyway, I would choose to keep those intact.

So I've tried this 3 times now with no luck.
The first time I tried, I got through the TWRP text saying it was doing some stuff, doing more stuff, thanks to 2 people.
Then it went to the Teamwin screen and every few seconds that screen would blink. Eventually the screen went to sleep and pressed the power button once and the teamwin screen was still there.... so I left it alone for about 5 minutes.
After waiting, I held down the power button and restarted the KF.
Round 2.
Wiped everything and sent over a new copy of the ROM.
This time it got to the teamwin screen and after about 30 seconds of blinking, it went black - completely off. Seconds later the blinking teamwin screen came back in all of it's glory. After more blinking, the screen turned black, not off because pixels were still lit up, but black. Power button was blinking red very slowly. Waited... waited... held down the power button and restarted. Still operated with no OS booting up.
Round 3 - exactly like round 1.
Round 4 - Everything the same, but this time I noticed the lit black screen turned off and came back on. Then it just stays lit.... no power button color either.

When you enter recovery go to setting disable screen timeout that will save you some hassle.

I downloaded COT
Cannibal Open Touch Recovery 2.1.3
for 600 X 1024.
I found the recovery and boot img files it needs from an unpacked update.
Does it really need CWM installed? Or will TWRP get the job done?

If your gonna flash update.zip make sure it's not update.zip.zip cotr will flash it wipe everything except your sdcard first. If your gonna flash sd_shadow zip the twrp you are using will work.

Well...
windows no longer allows me to look at the SD card after changing over to COTR.
Same goes with KFU and ADB devices.
I verified the driver and SDK files are still edited correctly.
Device manager still sees when the KF is attached and I get the sound of connect and disconnecting from Windows.
In storage management I have tried everything.
So, I can't send over another 'update.zip' of Amazon image.
I still have the prerooted 6.3.3.zip on the SD - so I tried to install it.
COTR has a status bar fr the installation.
