Hi to all
I have a problem with my rooted kindle fire.
when I open the kindle it gives me the yellow triangle, the green light turns orange by it self ( with out me pressing any the button ) and go to recovery .
I tried to do every thing with my kindle, like formating and install the rom again.
but nothing worked for me.
and still take to recovery every time.
I need your help please​

After rebooting the system from recovery does it then boot into the system? And what bootloader are you using?
---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------
I guess I should also ask what rom you are using and which version of recovery?
Edit: sorry I can see your using the old fff bootloader
---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------
But answer the other questions please rom? And just an assumption your probably using twrp 2.0?

Im usin CM7 ROM with TWRP 2.0

It's a bug of prior versions 2.1.1 of TWRP. You can change boot mode in KFU. I urge you to flash new version of FFF as well as TWRP for ease of your life. Just select them in KFU.

I have a back up file since it was on the original ROM.
but I back up I can do nothing because it takes me to recovery.

should I try updating the fff for now ?

link is probably right use kfu to reset your bootmode to normal if adb status is online

KFU is "Kindle Fire Utility" and you are running it right now.
It has a "Bootmode" menu. Select it.
You will then see a "Normal" item. Select it.
This will set your bootmode to normal so you don't end up in recovery all the time.

At a minimum, upgrade your TWRP to 2.1.1 using the script above. Also consider upgrading FireFireFire to 1.4a.

[Q] Kindle fire I believe is stuck in a boot loop.

When ever I turn on my kindle fire it first boots up to TWRP v2.6.3.1. Then I have to reboot it to the system. When it finally boots to the system stock 6.3.2 after 5-10 seconds it will turn off and boot into TWRP again. When it is in TWRP it doesn't reboot after 5-10 secs. I've tried using KFU and fastboot/adb command to try to boot it to normal boot. It still reboots. After that I've tried install CM11. After about 2 hours on it it didn't reboot. So I figured I should try a modded stock 6.3.2, but that still reboots after 5-10 secs.
Any ideas on how to fix? I can't seem to figure it out even after reading Kindle Fire For Beginners.

You could try restoring my nandroid backup in twrp, link in my list

I'm having the same problem. In my case, the cause appears to be the 6.3.3 OTA trying to flash, but it fails. I've yet to figure out how to prevent it from trying.

I tried to re-install firefirefire by KFU, it seems like it suck on

and on my kindle it says "press power button for boot menu. Its been like that for about 10 mins. Should I continue to wait or is there a problem.

I don't recommend using KFU once you have a working TWRP.
Use a TWRP installable bootloader (zip file) like [bootloader][05-26] FFF 1.4A bugfixes + new look + recovery boot [.zip file size]

I guess I'll probably use a custom ROM then. I had permanent root with super user installed a while back from KFU . What would happen if I updated? Would that brick my KF? If I did update I could always re-flash it with a lower ROM/custom rom with TWRP, correct.

If you update you will lose root, if you update only way to root is reboot to bootloader and flash twrp, then install a custom rom

the manual way, with Fastboot.exe (SDK)
From your Windows command prompt run these commands (substituting the names for whatever your TWRP and FFF files are called)
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Wait I'm a bit confused. You will lose the recovery and the bootloader once you upgrade? I thought the the recovery and bootloader were stored on a separate partition so even if you upgrade your ROM, losing your root won't affect your separate partitions. Also from reading your post in the other thread, is what I'm experiencing might cause by TWRP since mine is v2.6.3.1 and only 2.2.2.1 can install 6.3.2 stock ROM or its might be caused by what Haus said that OTA 6.3.3 update is causing my reboot.

Kindle updates are not real updates, they are complete firmware files, and reflash bootloader, recovery, and system partitions

Oh okay thanks for the clarification on that. I'll probably look around for a good custom ROM to use for now then since I don't have a factory cable. Thanks man for helping me understand this and to Haus.

[Q] Just picked my Kindle back up and having adb problem with Otterx

Hello everyone,
I just found my gen 1 kindle fire in a box and was looking at all the roms out today. I got the newest otterx and twrp installed without a problem. I am still in the amazon partition and have been trying to get adb to work before I change to the otter partition. I have windows 8.1 and got the kindle fire drivers v1.3.1000.0 installed. I see the device in adb but it tells me unauthorized and I cant seem to get it to not say that. I tried kicking it into fast boot but that gives me a unknown device(bad address) in the device manager and it wont let me give it a driver. I hope someone can help me out.
Solved By using windows 7 and the correct TWRP version

Drivers may not install correctly

not sure what you want, when you change partitions all files in system, data, and SD card partitions are wiped.

if the question is 'is adb failure do to wrong partitions' no not likely

Thank you again for your help.
I guess what I am asking is do I need to change the partition type before the adb will not be unauthorized sence I have the otterx twrp installed. I am trying to install the version 2.7.1.0 but I cant figure out how. when i try in fast boot it gives me a unknown error. I still have a rom installed if that helps me I am just not sure how to install the correct version if I cant adb and I can fast boot and I dont see any files on the sd when I go to install in twrp.

if you didn't switch to OtterX partitions yet, see if old rom still boots, if so place OtterX twrp 2.7.1.0. zip on SD card
if you already switched to OtterX partitions, rom is gone

I am stating to think this is not going to work for me. I got the otterx twrp 2.7.1.0 installed and it is no longer unauthorized but now I tried to do a adb push of a apk and it gave me a protocol failure. do you have any ideas on that one?
Thanks

Hey Shadow
I just wanted to thank you again for all the help. I got to work and everything worked smooth on a windows 7 machine.

Thanks for all your help, Shadow. I have an old Fire I hadn't touched in a while, which I had flashed years ago and had an old Clockwork recovery on. I updated the recovery to TWPR, I switched to OtterX partition and now can't get adb to recognize the device so I can flash a new ROM. While trying to boot the old ROM (which stalls out from having no SD anymore) the device shows up under Device Manager normally, but booting into TWRP, the Windows 7 driver installation in unsuccessful and it shows up as "Amazon OtterX" under Device Manager with "!". How do I get adb working in order to install new ROM?
