Hi,
I restore my KFHD 7" back to Amazon stock ROM a while back and yesterday I trying to install TWRP but I accidentally flash the wrong .img and when I reboot the device, it stuck at Kindle Fire static logo and keep on looping. Refer to [
Code:
https://vine.co/v/MVY1jqr6hn5
I tried to fastboot but so far it won't go into it. Any idea what can I do next or do I need to get a factory cable to solve this?
Edit: Can someone move this to the correct section? Seems I post in the wrong section.

I'm rooting a kindle, and some weird things happened while I was rooting it, problems with rooting on Windows 8, But now that I have TWRP and FIREFIREFIRE installed, it won't let me boot to system. It flashes on and off of the shiny kindle Fire screen, then boots to TWRP. KFU says it is in Boot STatus 0x5003. Any help?

Hello, sorry to bump an old thread, but when I tried to boot into normal boot mode, it tells me "The system cannot find the file specified." I have been stuck in this TWRP recovery mode for so long. Even when I get into Normal Boot mode, how do I get JellyBean installed so it loads that ROM? I have the Jellybean ROM files on the Kindle, which I can access via TWRP, but don't know how to install. HELP!!!
Well, right now I did a factory reset of the Kindle and I was able to get the KF back to it's defaults. I copied the Jellybean .zip file and gapps Jellybean .zip file to the root of the KF. I booted into Recovery Mode and I was finally able to see both .zip files when I clicked on Install. I thought I could do the Permanent Root now that I did the factory reset, but once I ran it under KFU, it would go through the process to install TWRP and then boot the KF into TWRP, but it doesn't look like it completed the root. How do I complete it?
In the meantime, I had went into Recovery Mode, went to Install and currently loading Jellybean onto the KF. I'm currently stuck at Verifiying partition sizes and it's been sitting there for a few minutes. How long does it take before it's updated to JB?
System Only boots to TWRP and KFU will not see kindle
I have a Kindle Fire 1... Not the HD when I got it in Dec of 2011 I got some help to get TWRP and CM7 Installed on it, and it worked great until a couple of days ago and now there is no help in the kindle fire room anymore so I was wondering if there is someone out there who would be willing to help me to get this to work again either through teamviewer or a Chat of some type, Gtalk, IRC anything at this point to get this to work again.
I have tried everything from a Hard reset, and KFU will not see it and I even tried a unbricking tool and that cannot find it either. Please help me out.
Thanks

Stuck booting into TWRP
Hello Forum Lords, I hope that I found the proper thread for my problem.
I was simply trying to install Cyanogemod 9 on my wifes replacement KF1 after the first KF1 suffered some sore of hardware malfunction and would no longer take a charge. Somehow, somewhere I went horribly wrong this time around. I got stuck at the KF1 logo and eventually I got it to boot, but only to recovery.
My predicament is this: My KF1 is stuck booting into TWRP. Device manager on Win Vista recognizes the KF1 as Android Composite ADB Interface. When I try to use the KFU to boot the device into Normal Mode it says "cannot find the drive specified".
At the KFU starting menu, it says ADB Status: Online, Boot Status: 0x5003.
My ultimate goal is to get this thing running Cyanogenmod again. I am painfully noob at all of this. Please speak as you would to an escaped chimp who will not let go of the keyboard and mouse.
Thank you, anybody
Hi,
currently I am stuck at the non flashing "kindlefire" bootlogo.
I cant access TWRP anymore and my computer also does not recognize the kindle fire.. what options do I have to get a bootable kindle fire again?
What I have done in the last 4 hours to end up in that state:
follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105077
IMPORTANT: WHEN COMING FROM STOCK AMAZON OS
-Make sure you wipe everything while in TWRP before you flash anything!

I did like statet and ended up without OS because I wiped everything like statet.
Then, after booting into fastboot I tried that tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
It said that I recovered my kindle to stick firmware but In fact I am stuck now with the bootscreen.
Can anyone help me please?
after following this thread
Do you have a KF1 or KF2?
As soup said, are you sure you have a Kindle Fire 2?
Did you buy it new, and did it come in a brown or black box?
You might be OK to flash TWRP again, then use ADB push command to get a 10.1 ROM onto your Kindle. I would talk with Soup a bit in case there is an issue with his tool.

you need to restore it back to default kindle os, installing twrp wipes the the kindle os which prevents the kindle from booting up you needed to copy the cm10.1 and gapps files before installing twrp so restore it back to the original kindle os and before installing twrp be sure to copy cm10.1 and gapps on to the kindle first because the kindle needs to have an os to connect to the pc

I'd like to preface this by saying I read the FAQ and did some searching here, but couldn't spot anything that sounded like my problem. I've half got an idea of what to do, but I'm quite confused and feel like some stuff needs clarifying. I apologize if this is more common than I realize, cause if it is I'm sure y'all are sick of answering questions like this.

I got a used Kindle Fire from a friend that came with CM10 on it. I wanted to use it for reading, but the Kindle android app was recently broken by Amazon so I reluctantly reverted it back to stock (I really liked having a tablet, but I've got a phone for that stuff and I needed an e-reader). The very next day they fixed the app so I decided I should load CM10 back onto the Kindle. Now, I flashed CM10 onto my phone last year and it was a painless process so I figured it'd be the same here. Somehow in the process I completely messed things up.
From stock FireOS, I used Kindle Fire Utility to flash TWRP on my Kindle, then from there installed CM10 again. What I didn't know, was that CM no longer comes with gApps preloaded. I had no clue, as when I flashed it onto my phone it had all the gApps on there. So I google it and find out I need to flash gApps on there. Here's the problem: I can't boot this thing into recovery. Somehow TWRP was lost in the process. I enabled developer options in the settings, then enabled the option to choose reboot into recovery in the power menu but when I choose it, it just reboots into CM10 again. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to revert back to stock or flash gApps in if I can't get to TWRP again.
It's clear this has gotten way over my head.
Summary:
* Have a kindle w/ fresh install of CM10 on it.
* No gApps and can't boot into recovery.
* I think TWRP might be gone somehow.
* I want to either return to stock or get TWRP back safely and gApps flashed on here.
You need to boot back into Kindle Fire Utility and install the boot loader FireFireFire to boot into recovery.

I can't seem to get KFU to recognize my plugged in Kindle. IIRC when I first used KFU, when it recognized the Kindle it displayed "ADB Status: Online" and "Boot Status: 4000". Now it's ADB Offline / Boot Unknown.
I've been told elsewhere that I need to locate a stock recovery image and load it up using terminal emulator since it appears my recovery was broken. Where might I find one for my Kindle? I perused the various stickied threads / guides around here but did not see one.
e: Would it be against the rules re: buying/selling if I offered whoever helps me get this fixed $10? Haha.

I have used the download and the bottom of this page to repair a bricked kindle fire.

Then go back into kindle utility and reinstall TWRP and firefirefire.

Please forgive my noob-ness. I've done some research but i can't figure out whats up with this device.
I have a Kindle Fire first gen that is stuck in a boot loop. I get the boot logo with "Kindle Fire" and a flicker effect but that is it. This is NOT my device i'm trying to fix it for a non-technical family member. I know they didn't try to root it or any of that. It just stopped working for them one day.
after installing / removing / reinstalling the drivers a million times i finally got the kindle fire utility to see the device as online. its seems like no matter what i do the device goes back to the boot loop and KFU gives me "waiting for device'. anyone have any ideas? do i need the factor cable to get this working again??
according to FAQ 16 Frequently Asked Questions - Amazon Kindle Fire
If the Kindle Fire logo you're talking about flashes and goes dim after being brightly lit for a few seconds, then your device is trying to boot normally to a malfunctioning operating system, likely caused by not wiping the data partition (factory reset) before flashing a ROM. If that's the case, you will likely need a factory cable to get into fastboot mode so you can access or (if needed) install custom recovery, then reinstall a ROM properly.

yes you need a fastboot cable

Not sure of the state of your Kindle Fire G1 (It's not rooted? Are you sure?), but this sounds similar to what I ran into trying to install CM11.
What version of TWRP do you have installed? If it's 2.2.2.1 and you're trying to install a ROM with KitKat (CM11) you can run into this. I did. When I installed TWRP 2.7.0.1 I could install CM11 just fine without the boot loop.
To install TWRP 2.7.0.1 I found that you could only do so by:
When you turn Kindle Fire on, hold down the power button to cycle through the options when you see the Kindle Fire logo. You want to land on the Recovery option.
Mount storage from TWRP 2.2.2.1 on a PC and copy CM10.x.x and related GApps to SDCARD
Factory reset then reinstall CM10.x.x (with Gapps for that version)
Install Flashify from the PlayStore
Download the latest TWRP for otter/Kindle Fire G1 (2.7.0.1)
Install it with Flashify
Download CM11 and related ZIPs (GApps kk, Change to Nexus 7, etc) to Downloads directory
Restart into TWRP recovery (should be 2.7.0.1 now), and factory reset/reinstall CM11 and related ZIPs from Downloads directory
Should be fine now.
I found that I could only do it this way because for some reason Kindle Fire Utility Kit and ADB couldn't work with my Kindle anymore with TWRP 2.2.2.1 (don't ask, I don't know why). This way works. Just make sure you have a copy of a version of a ROM and GApps on SDCARD at all times since mounting storage might not work anymore in TWRP (again, I'm not sure why). I tried it again and again, but I couldn't get it to work and it might be the same for you. Keep in mind this is for CM11. If you're using stock, then follow sd_shadow's advice.
