Ok, so I have a question that either does not exist on Google or that I just don't know how to explain.
My Kindle Fire 2 was flashed a while back with a stock version of Android Jellybean 4.2.2, until today. I made a complete backup of everything inside TWRP and transferred all of those backup files to my laptop. I then flashed a newer version of TWRP, version 2.6.3.1. After that, i flashed the newest version of Cyanogenmod 11, Android 4.4.4.
Anyways, I got to adjusting the settings and told it to allow me to pick between rebooting into recovery or normal mode when i pressed the reboot button on the power menu.
Here is my problem though. At one point, I told Cyanogenmod to reboot me into recovery, and ever since, my Kindle will only let me boot into the TWRP recovery area, regardless of what I tell it to load in the bootloader.
How can I just get it to boot to the normal OS? I've tried reflashing the recovery and reflashing Cyanogenmod onto it. I just don't know what to do because I don't know exactly why this is happening.
I've tried wiping the /data partition too, but to no use. I still am able to wipe internal data partition, however I don't know how it will respond to that. I mean... Isn't that where TWRP is stored? I don't want to lose my recovery partition where I have no way to get back.
If it comes to it, could I replace my recovery partition with Cyanogenmod?
I am still able to use ADB and I'm able to push files. (So far)
Possible solution

I assuming you have a TWRP bootloop problem? Like everytime you reboot it, it shows you the kindel fire logo (organge/white), then to the blue/white logo, and then instead of the normal android ui, it boots into TWRP? If this is the case, have you tried selecting the 'bootmode' option during the kindle fire blue/white logo screen? That was my solution when I had the recovery bootloop problem recently.

I tried telling it to boot normal during that screen. Still goes to TWRP.

I have tried 2-3 different Kernel 3.0 ICS roms. I get stuck in a boot loop. It reboots a few times from the recovery screen, then I get a second of the boot animation a few times before it reboots until it ultimately just sits on the boot animation screen.
The roms appear to install fine.
I have tried powering off and rebooting from recovery after rom install.
I do wipe. I have tried wiping davlik afterwards.
I have tried both recoveries.(Now stuck with clockwork )
I have tried doing it while charging and off the charger.
I can install CM7 roms just fine.
How exactly are you stuck on CWM? And which version of it? Also, what version of TWRP did you try?
I tried loading twrp back on, and I got into it once from the adb commands but I rebooted and it went right back into clockwork, haven't seen twrp since. I believe its version 5.1 or.2 of clockwork, and I tried installing rom from twrp 2.0(first time), didn't get a chance to try from 2.2 as I haven't been able to get back into twrp.
Use smirkits scripts to change your cwmr to twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500935 you can have only 1 recovery 1 overwrites the other

Would the recovery type be causing my issue with the cm9 roms causing my Kindle to go into a boot loop?

Shouldn't be causing a boot loop, but a dangerous version of CWMR was released a while back which causes permanent damage.
EDIT: Also, if I remember correctly, older CWMR versions had problems installing ICS ROMs. This could be your issue.
most CM9 devs recommend using TWRP 2.1.x versions. So see if installing TWRP as the recovery makes it fine for you
I have a Kindle Fire that I rooted using KFU. FireFireFire and TWRP are both installed. It was working fine for a while, but after I installed the Google Apps and set up the Market account, the Kindle froze. After I turned it off (holding power for ~20 seconds) it would not turn back on for about a half hour. When it finally did turn on, it got through the FireFireFire bootloader screen and went to the regular loading screen, then froze on a black screen (but with the backlight on). I can boot into TWRP, and I have a stock update.zip on the Kindle already, but as soon as I touch Install the recovery freezes (the screen updates to the choose a file menu, but then I cannot select anything or go back).
With all that back story out of the way, I want to try to restore the Kindle Fire to stock and see if the problem persists. Well, I don't want to per se, but it's technically my girlfriend's Kindle Fire and that's what she wants. Since it can get to FireFireFire, I assume I can still use fastboot. I have read up on how to use fastboot to flash a new recovery or do a data wipe, but I was wondering if it is possible to use fastboot to flash the update.zip or update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin? And if so, what would the command be? The fastboot section of the beginner's guide only mentioned flashing the individual pieces (boot, system, etc..).
It has been asked before if you can fastboot flash a rom to your kindle I dont believe that has been determined very good question so far I have not seen an answer. Im guessing flashing stock would fall under the same category. I would say no because when you fastboot flash its to a specific destination not multiple partitions.
I would boot to TWRP, select Wipe then do Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Factory Reset.
Then if you want the pure stock, then flash this version of Stock 6.3.1(No Bootloader or Recovery).
This will leave FFF and TWRP intact so if you need to get back to them.
If you do want Google play and Super User flash this file.

Thanks for the reply, however as mentioned I cannot do anything in Recovery. If I touch Wipe the same thing happens as with install, it freezes after I complete the first menu change.
I would re-install TWRP then and go from there.
ok i have a 2nd gen kindle and managed to root and install bootloader but when i select recovery it just hangs on booting? i reflashed an older version of twrp still same thing? (solved)
Wait how did you fix it? I'm having the same problem!
I rooted it using this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2075959, and then I used this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...light=recovery, to add twrp so I can flash CM. Everything seemed to go well except that I am unable to enter recovery mode. When booting normally it works fine and loads into the kindle OS but obviously, I want to replace that. I have tried searching the forums and trying a few different things but so far nothing has worked.
What I was trying to do: I have a stock 4.4.2 AT&T GS3 that I wanted to root, and then install Cyanogen Mod.
What I did: I flashed Auto-Root with Odin 3.10, restarted and then flashed TWRP 2.8. I then booted to TWRP and attempted to wipe/format the phone but it showed some errors along the way, I think it was something having to do being unable to mount the SD card. I then rebooted into recovery and flashed CM12 and slim Google Apps zip. When it was flashing both I got a string of errors but it said it was successful.
Where I'm at now: When I try turning the phone on (without holding any buttons down) it attempts to boot straight to the TWRP but gets stuck at the blue TeamWin screen. I'm able to get to download mode by holding down the appropriate buttons. I'm wondering if there's anything I can flash from Odin to resolve this.
I also realized I have unbacked up photos on the device, I don't think the format was successful, is there any way to recover those?
Thanks
To recover the pictures, try re-installing TWRP, boot into TWRP, and mount the partitions. Connect the phone to your computer and copy your pictures.
TWRP
I have had this happen before. Try using Odin to flash an older version of TWRP, uncheck reboot after flash and then when it is done, do a battery pull. This has gotten me back into a working TWRP to restore my previous setup. Note: You made need to go back to 2.6. Once you have gotten back up and running flash to the current TWRP with the app.
I've been using the Fire HD 8.9 (Jem) with CM (a 2015 version of CM 12.1) with TWRP 2.7.0 without much of a problem. Yesterday, I flashed the latest CM12.1 nightly (20161216 version) using the same TWRP successfully. After the initial loading, I tried to factory reset the tablet. Once the pad restarted, it goes into the TWRP startup screen, and doesn't load the touch interface. The startup screen will flash every 5 seconds or so. I can't go back to normal boot either. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Have you fixed this yet?
If not, I'm not certain, but could be a mismatch between your older TWRP version and the most recent CM12.1 nightly. Can you actually use TWRP? Did you make a backup prior to installing the newest CM version (always imperative to do)? If so and TWRP works, simply wipe everything and reinstall your backup. Then first update TWRP (I'm using v 3.0.0) by multiple methods and try again. Does you computer still see your Kindle? If so, download a newer version of TWRP to your computer, transfer it to the Downloads folder of your "SD Card" on internal storage, and flash from there using TWRP. Try to keep plugged in so that battery stays in good shape.
If you can't use TWRP, you'll have use Fastboot to flash a newer TWRP version from your computer. Look for instructions on how to setup and then use Fastboot if you've never used this before. Some drivers that your computer may or may not have will be required. Good luck!

I had the exact same problem but I got into fastboot mode by using this adb command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
have you tried this yet?
