Deleting files from the system folder only affects the current rom(or as you call it, operating system) and doesn't affect ADB or the TWRP recovery program. You can use TWRP to install a new rom, even the stock Kindle rom.
I can't post links, so search google for "kindle fire software update" and you should find amazon's page to download the latest stock rom for the kindle fire. Rename the file to update.zip and transfer it to the storage on your kindle. You can then use TWRP to select the zip file and re-install the stock kindle rom. This WILL break your root, so use the Kindle Fire utility that's linked in the development forum if you want to re-root your kindle.
If you don't have TWRP installed, try using the Kindle Fire Utility (in the development forum) to install TWRP or recover your kindle fire. I hope this helps!

TWRP is the recovery program that you can boot into before the rom loads. You can use the Kindle Fire Utility to install TWRP. If the kindle fire utility isn't working, you can try installing TWRP manually, but you will also need to install FireFireFire, which is the boot loader that replaces the stock kindle loader and allows you to boot into TWRP.
The most important thing is to have ADB access. If you can plug the kindle fire into your PC and get ADB working, you can fix pretty much anything.

How i can be sure that adb is working?

download the latest kfu from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
extract to c:\ and rename "kindle fire utility" to "kfu"
cd to c:\kfu and run "install_drivers.bat"
cd to c:\kfu\tools and type:
"adb devices" - get a response ?
"fastboot devices" - get a respose ?
you should get a response from one of the commands

I have to mention when in b63 post where your in the tools folder it easier to right click inside that folder in an empty space within it, and then press the keyboard's shift key for an option from the right clicked dropdown to open a command prompt window right there. Then type adb devices followed by enter key. Optimum would be a device ##000000000 sorta output in that tiny window , whereas then you could close it and click run in the kindle fire utility from the download. You can see more options to root your device to here with "status info".

Same problem

>>> Hi, I have the same problem here. I accidentally deleted my rooted KF system with no rom saved on my KF (I'm a noob). Now, I did the steps you mentioned above.
This is what I have:
-When I typed ad devices it says "list of devices attached :15FE000600000001"
-Got nothing when typed "fastboot devices.
-On KFU it says" adb statusnline', "boot status:unknown".
-I can't install the Fastboot mode on the KF because it stays on waiting for device.
-My pc recognizes the Kindle as a device on the Device Manager, but I can't explore it because it doesn't show up on My Computer.
-I have already unistalled, deleted, re-install the drivers many times. The one that comes with KFU only makes the adb status go offline. The only driver that makes it show on the computer is the one I get when I connect the KF to the computer and let it download a driver by itself.
Please tell me, what can I do to make it show up so I can paste the rom on the device.

You're getting confused with how adb and fastboot work. I suggest reading this to get a better understanding.

Thanks, I have read it like 3 times, it's just a little confusing for someone dealing with rooting for the first time. What I get is that I need to get the KF come up on Windows so I can paste the rom into the KF and that the KF needs to be in fastboot to install the rom.
Anyway, now the Kindle shows up on KFU as "online" and the bootmode is "4000", but still nothing comes up on the explorer. Twrp is installed and I'm able to load it, but I did not make a Backup. How can I install the system again?

If twrp is installed when you boot into it click on mount, then click mount usb, this is the only way it's going to show up as a mass storage device on your pc so that you can transfer a rom over to it.

Put both zips on your sdcard in zip form, wipe factory/data reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash rom zip, flash gapps zip, reboot then system if prompted.

Thank you so much!!! :laugh:
I have done what you told me and my Kindle is now working. It's already downloading my files from the cloud.

Restore kindle fire after twrp2.0 to factory default without firefirefire

Hey I tried like many other people here to get twrp2.0 on to my Kindle Fire 6.2.2.
the twrp installation stocked at the Yellow Triangle. I set the boot normal option and I can Boot to the Kindle Fire OS.
But I still have the firefirefire boot loader with the Yellow Triangle on my Device when booting.
Is there any chance to remove it? I read some people did a update from 6.2.1 to 6.2.2. But I already have 6.2.2 installed. Is there any other way to remove it?
Or is there any other bootloader I can Use I would so like to install Android ICS on my Kindle Fire.

why do you want to remove it ?
it is your "safety net" to get to recovery in case of a failure !
fff and a recovery (twrp or cwm) are the most important things to have on a rooted kf to avoid realy complicated bricks

because it is not working I can not boot in to the recovery mode so it is useless for me I think so I just want to go back to the Original Firmware.

that will not help you
if you want to install a other rom then you need twrp
the trwp install failure is very common and very easy to fix:
download twrp from http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
rename it to "recovery.img" and copy it over the bad file in the recovery folder of kfu
then do the install again - you'll see it works

I am curious about restoring the factory kindle software myself. Not because I don't like cm. Everything works great including firefirefire, twrp, and cm9. I have just installed cm on a few kindles that don't belong to me and I know sooner or later someone is going to say, "I want my original software back" I am assuming the process will be as easy as using twrp to install a stock.zip or similar for a stock rom? In the event they want to have the original kindle boot logo, will that be as simple as using adb to issue a simple DD if=stockboot.img of=/some/blkdev/on/kindle? Thanks in advance

I followed these instructions but TWRP 2.0 seems to be stuck. It says "Factory reset started" and then "Factory reset complete" twice. Then "E:Unable to open zip file." I renamed the bin file to Update.zip as instructed.
Is it OK to try and get out of this and reboot back to TWRP?

I face a similar issue. My KF automatically shut down and goes into the yellow triangle loop while watching YouTube. And it got stuck in the yellow triangle attempted to fastboo to normal boot. Within the few second it **** down and goes into the yellow triangle.
I just want to restore my kf to the stock firmware how can I do that.

I am having the exact same issues but my Kindle just reboots to the triangle randomly.
It all started when I decided to re-root after my system was updated to 6.3, I was on 6.2 when I first got the Kindle and I rooted with Burrito root and it worked fine. The only reason I rooted was so I could use the Android Market, which still worked fine after the system updated to 6.3, but stupid me had to make sure it was rooted so I used the Kindle Fire utility and that’s what hosed my Kindle. Never doing that again.
Anyway, I’m trying Justin’s steps above. Ill report what happens.

Looks like Justin's solution worked for me. I’m back to the factory and there is no TWRP menu when I reboot and it’s the original Kindle Fire image on bootup. Now I just need to see if I get anymore random shut down issues.

I renamed the download to update.zip, and I see it in the root folder, but when I boot into TWRP 2.1.1, I ca't see it in the root directory. I know I named it correctly because on my PC I can open it with an archiver... What am i doing wrong?

whoops
well i f'd up. i finally got twrp to install using a different file. however, it appears that i must've accidentally hit a wrong number when installing late last night, cause it appears i also have clockworkmod installed and it superceded twrp i guess.. can't load it. Anyone got any ideas on how to remove CWM with TWRP also installed. damn what a mess.

Trying to fallback using the latest image (6.3.2) from Amazon
I followed Justin's recipe with the exception of the Amazon load image version. I used the latest stable one instead.
My TWRP version is v2.5.0.0 - another potential difference and it might be significant (Justin never said what version of TWRP he started with).
What follows is what I saw upon executing Justin's steps 16-18.
Updating partition details...
Running boot script...
Finished running boot script.
Installing '/sdcard/update.zip' ...
Checking for MD5 file ...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found (True, there isn't one in the ZIP file)

E:unknown command [err_string]
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/update.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update.zip'
Updating partition details... (meaningless as the process failed with an error)
---------------------------
1. Anyone else see these symptoms? Have a work-around or solution?
2. Any other suggestions?
My goal is to sell my Kindle Fire 1st generation with only Amazon software on it. TWRP yellow distraction - while it hurts nothing it is a scare for most purchasers.
Thank you for any assistance.

How to get TWRP?

I rooted my Kindle Fire two weeks ago and updated it to jellybean 4.2 using the ROM developed by hashcode. Now after the update, I feel like I bricked my device. Because first of all TWRP (blue Kindle fire logo with boot options below) is not loading in startup but regular Kindle fire logo is seen. And I can't install TWRP using Kindle Fire Utility because my device is now a different ROM and KFU can't detect my Kindle. And I'm not at all satisfied with the battery life of Kindle Fire on JB 4.2 and it gets hot like red-hot-iron even just when I watch a video. Somebody please help me to at least to get TWRP on my kindle so I could just set it to default ROM or any other. Or please tell me a way to get out of this condition.

The blue & white Kindle Fire logo with boot options is FireFireFire, not TWRP. You may or may not have TWRP installed but without access to it you'll probably never know.
If you have root permissions, the easiest and most straight forward way of getting FFF installed is to do so through terminal emulator on your device (install it if you have to).
1) Download FFF1.4.zip onto your device and extract it. That should put the resulting folder in /sdcard/extracted. There, find the uboot.bin file and move it directly to the root of your sdcard (i think it's named something like "firefirefire1.4u-boot.bin"...rename it to "u-boot.bin").
2) Then open terminal emulator and enter the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/uboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]2[/B][COLOR=Red]<---This is a [U]TWO[/U][/COLOR]
That will overwrite your bootloader partition with the new u-boot.bin. Just reboot and it should work. The problem with that is, if you get a corrupt download, it may hard-brick your device. Be sure to do an md5 check.
A safer way to do this is through TWRP. You can install and access TWRP relatively in the same manner with terminal emulator.
1) Download the TWRP.img and the FFF1.4.zip (don't extract it) onto your device and place them on the root of your sdcard. (rename TWRP to "twrp.img" to make things easier)
2) In terminal emulator, enter the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]5[/B][COLOR=Red]<---This is a [U]FIVE[/U], not a TWO...pay attention[/COLOR]
idme bootmode 5001
reboot
3) In TWRP, flash the FFF1.4.zip, but don't wipe anything. This method will automatically check the md5 of FFF before installing it and reduce the possibility of accidentally bricking the device.
Reboot and all will be well.

Thanks for the help! But I have a doubt, because my Kindle is on Jelly Bean, it is on MTP mode when connected to computer. Will it be a problem? And where do i get a non-corrupted FFF1.4.zip ?

Terminal emulator is an app that is run on the device, not the computer, so it doesn't matter what settings you have enabled or whether your drivers are working properly. And there is one main source for FFF1.4. Corruption, if it happens, usually happens when downloading so an md5 check needs to be done before flashing the file you downloaded to your bootloader partition.

[Q] Kindle fire on boot loop after wiping and flashing New Rom hellkat - unsuccessful

Guys,
Need some help now..
I have done a preliminary search but I haven't got an answer, hence the New thread.. Sorry about it if it's well explained elsewhere.
I have been using the fire since beginning of 2012 and rooted it and I was running a custom rom (I think Gederom) from one of the devs until yesterday.
It is on twrp 2.1.1
The rom seemed a bit laggy and I decided to try out another last night. So i downloaded the hellkat linaro 4.4.2 2013-12-30 version and the gapps to flash.
I went into recovery and wiped Cache , Dalvik , factory reset and flashed the rom.
Now, the flashing ended with an unsuccessful message and I am stuck on bootloop since there is no active rom on my fire.
Should I update twrp? If so, how?
Or what else am I supposed to do now, to get it up and running?

You need to flash TWRP 2.6.3.1 in order to flash a 4.4.2 ROM. Flashing on any other version of TWRP will cause an unsuccessful error. I believe Hashcode posted an updated TWRP that while it still states 2.6.3.0, it is actually updated to 2.6.3.1. You need to find it, download it, go back into recovery, go to mount, and mount only USB storage with your kindle connected to your computer. This will allow you to copy files to your kindle from recovery. Copy the recovery to your kindle and flash it like you would flash anything else. Power off your kindle and power it back on, and boot into recovery again. This time, flash the ROM like you normally would, and you should be all set.
EDIT: Did ya one better I still had the zip on my Kindle, so I uploaded it for you. It will still say 2.6.3.0 but it is really 2.6.3.1. Enjoy

If you can get your computer to recognize the kindle when it is in the bootloader through adb then you can boot into recovery by downloading the latest twrp recovery IMG file. Get the TWRP IMG file downloaded and then run the adb commands to get into fastboot mode.
Rooted stock:
Code:
adb shell su -c 'idme bootmode 4002'
ROM with root access:
Code:
adb shell idme bootmode 4002
Once you are in fastboot mode you can enter recovery without actually having it flashed to your device by issuing the following fastboot command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery path/to/recovery.img
Replace the path/to/recovery with the actual path and name of the recovery image for example if its on your C drive it would be something like "C:/TWRP.2.3.6.1_otter.img"
That will give you full access to the newest TWRP without actually having it flashed on your device and once you save you kindle you can actually permanently flash the recovery.
To get out of fastboot issue the following command.
Code:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot

You need to find it, download it, go back into recovery, go to mount, and mount only USB storage with your kindle connected to your computer. This will allow you to copy files to your kindle from recovery. Copy the recovery to your kindle and flash it like you would flash anything else. Power off your kindle and power it back on, and boot into recovery again. This time, flash the ROM like you normally would, and you should be all set.
EDIT: Did ya one better I still had the zip on my Kindle, so I uploaded it for you. It will still say 2.6.3.0 but it is really 2.6.3.1. Enjoy

[Q] Help

So I am in a bind.
I had TWRP and N2K type utiltiy that was working. i tried to wipe and reset and here is where i am now.
so i have a first generation kindle fire. i load TWRP and get to recovery boot which brings me to team win. TWRP is version 2.6.3.0.
I do not have access to the kindle drivers. so the only thing i can do is access it though mount.
so i mounted the device and added the most recent update (changing it to update.zip) but its not working. it still starts with the blue kindle fire setting and only in TWRP. i cant recover it to normal. when i go into the device i only have 2 folder. TWRP and .android_secure.
i just want to know how to get back to factory settings. I tried using a kindle boot device but it wont recognized the kindle because it is only recognizing it as a usb drive.
any ideas? not sure what other information you need to help. please help - thanks!

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
