For awhile now I was working on my son's kindle fire 1st gen. Somehow it had gotten stuck at the Kindle Fire logo, just looping. So I did some reading and after working with the drivers forever and trying to get KFU to work, I just couldn't get the unit into fastboot. So I put it away.
Eventually I ordered a factory cable, so last night I sat down with it again and using KFU I did:
3 Install Latest TWRP Recovery
5 Install Latest FireFireFire
So it booted into TWRP, I followed a blog telling me what to reset/clear etc and I finally rebooted back into the original Kindle Fire, working great.
Well now what it's doing while my son is using it, or after he sits it down for awhile is it just reboots itself back into TWRP suddenly or it rebooted and everything is cleared, like all the games he installed etc.
So I'm not sure what to do now, granted none of this is directly in my wheel house so I'm learning as I go but I finally had to breakdown and come to the forums for some help.
Thanks guys!

Kindle is trying to install update, but because stock recovery has been replaced, it just boots to twrp and gets stuck.

Did you downgrade twrp to 2.2.2.1?
Did rom system version change to 6.3.3?

It does show 6.3.3
However I just saw the downgrade to twrp didn't take, obviously something I did. So I went back to install, choose "zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze"
Then I redid the 6.3.3 again for good measure
And now its been sitting at:

Went ahead and did the factory reset, did a fresh install of your 6.3.3 file again. So far, staying on. So I'll give it some more time, the real test is when my son comes home later and uses it. Thanks again.
Well it sat and charged for a couple hours and then he sat and played a few of his games on it for the past 45 mins maybe and then it suddenly rebooted to TWRP again and I have to keep telling it to boot into normal. So I'm no sure what else to do.

OK...I'm a first time poster to the Kindle Fire forum and I'm having issues. I'm a little above average with my Android knowledge. I've flashed CM9 onto three Toucpads and have been fooling with my phones for a few years. HOWEVER, I'm completely stumped. Here's what's happening and what I've done.
1) I downloaded Kindle Fire Utility to root. It all went fine, as far as I could tell.
2) I downloaded the aokp_otter_build-M5>0xD34D build for CM9
3) I downloaded the gapps-ics-20120429-signed zip
4) Booted into the TWRP recovery
5) Made a backup of the stock Kindle
6) Flashed the CM9 zip and the Gapps zip. Everything seemed fine with the TWRP. Never used it before. Very familiar with CWM and seemed similar
7 Rebooted.
The Kindle Fire logo came up and then went to a blank screen. It boot-looped (is that a verb?) five or six times. While I went surfing to find answers it looped once more and came up to this screen with a pissed off looking unicorn and the Team Kang logo. It's stuck there and won't go past. The screen is still animated. The battery is not dead. I've read dozens of posts where the first suggestion is to charge the Kindle. That's not the problem. I've restarted the Kindle a hundred times and nothing.
Here's what I've tried:
1) Every combination of holding down the power button/pressing the power button combination. Nothing.
2) Downloaded the Kindle Unbrick Utility. The computer isn't recognizing the Kindle, so this isn't doing any good. I've tried all of the six different UI buttons. Nothing.
3) I went back to the Kindle Fire Utility and reinstalled the drivers and then opened the CMD window. As I expected, it's telling me "waiting for device" and doing nothing.
I have no idea where to go from here. There's got to be a way for me to get this thing to be recognized on my computer. Please help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Jeff

I dont see anything mentioned in your post about doing a full wipe before flashing AOKP just I thats where your method above went haywire with twrp. When going from one system to another always factory/ data restore wipe cache wipe dalvik and yes wipe system before flashing your rom and gapps. Pretty high likelyhood that why your stuck in a bootloop. You need to get back into recovery wipe the heck out of it and restore your backup. Also didnt hear mention of a bootloader. Do you get to a screen with a yellow triangle or one with a white kindle and a blue fire both these screen are bootloader splash screens for two different bootloaders. If you come to the yellow triangle hold the power button down immediatly till it turns orange this will put you into recovery. Alternatly if your greeted by a white kindle with a blue fire rapidly push the power button till some small words come up at the bottom of the screen 1. Normal 2. Recovery 3. Reset bootmode use the power button to toggle through the selections till it looks like --recovery-- this will get you into twrp where you can do as I said above wipe wipe wipe wipe restore backup reboot.

You said you rooted with the Kindle Fire Utility and all went well. If that's the case you should have access to recovery. If so, you don't need a "magic" factory cable to fix your problem.

Honestly...don't remember if I did a full wipe of dalvik. I assumed I would have, but really don't remember. No...I don't get the yellow triangle and my kindle fire logo color is white "kindle" with a yellow "fire". I used the kindle fire utility and I think that installs the twrp by default. I don't have CWM installed. Wish I did. I'm comfortable with it. I just can't get to any kind of a recovery screen.

Yes...the KFU went fine, I think. I was able to access twrp and created my backup before I flashed the ICS. The Kindle logo has the white "kindle" and yellow "fire". Pauses for a few seconds or two...screen goes black...then that damned pink unicorn shows up and stays there. The unicorn screen is animated. I can power it down from there and start over without any problem. Any ideas?
without a bootloader you wont have access to recovery regardless of twrp/cwm
One other thing that I'm not sure matters, but when I do power it off and back on, I head the little "bong" on my computer telling me that a new device has been plugged in. I go to the device manager and under the "Other" category it shows "Amazon" with the yellow triangle the black exclamation point symbol.
Reinstall your drivers

the bootloader allows you to access recovery im not laughing cause its a bummer to see things go this way you need to get your drivers going to push a bootloader to your device
First, read this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747567
You need to make sure your drivers are in order so you can change the bootmode to 5001 and reboot. A custom bootloader will let you do this easily but considering you don't have one you need to use adb instead.
Code:
adb shell
idme bootmode 5001
adb reboot

Go in TWRP and do a current backup.
Then while in TWRP mount USB and copy the TWRP directory(thats where your backup is located) to your computer.
When you have your new Kindle Fire refer to these threads to install FFF1.4A and TWRP 2.1.

Oh, sorry about not being clear. I mean I wanted to restore my old data and then unroot my new kindle. Its because the fff bootloader charging screen for low battery leaves the backlight lit up, and its annoying having to charge it via USB until its charged enough to power on. I've already made a few backups when I installed Roms. Sorry about the confusion.

Stuck booting into recovery
I tried to install the update to unroot and now I can't get past TWRP. I downloaded the update from Amazon, Installed it in the Kindle Update folder, went into settings and pressed the update button and it powered off. When it restarted it automatically went into TWRP. I tried to reboot and same thing. Then I tried to flash my stock (rooted)recovery I made when I first got my kindle and rooted it and same. It just always goes into TWRP. Any Ideas?

Sorry. I re-read my posts and even I'm confused! OK, so what i meant was that I will make a backup with TWRP and then flash the Stock ROM/Update.zip or whatever its called. Then I was going to root my new Kindle so I could use TWRP and recover the Backup I made. But then I wanted to unroot it, but it would be pointless to recover my apps, and then just flash the update and delete it. So i wanted to know how to delete FFF, TWRP, and how to unroot it without flashing the update.zip that way i could keep my apps+data. I hope this post wasn't too confusing!
As for the backlight staying on when charging. FFF will give me the indicator that I need to charge due to low battery, and then it turns off the screen. Only problem is, when the screen turns off, there is the dim light(the backlight) that stays on and drains my battery. And because right now only the USB charger will fit, so it doesn't get enough power to charge, so it will actually die, turn off the light, recharge, and then leave the backlight on, so it dies again, then recharges, leaves the backlight on, and so on. But that problems solved. Thepooch told me just to do a hard reset and let it charge in that state and it worked perfectly!

I recently rooted my sons Kindle fire 2 using TWRP, all was going ok until reboot when screen would flash every couple of seconds, flashing the kindle logo even when at the carousel screen etc.. also slow and slow to react to touch of the digitiser screen. From here I think I have got it terribly wrong and have wiped the KF of its OS and with it also stuck in fastboot.
I have made wrong selections on TWRP, then used TWRP command to boot the KF into fastboot. Now have no way to get it out of fastboot, only recognised on windows 7 device manager as Kindle Fire - Android ADB interface and also as a Other Devices - coprocessor which has no recognised driver.
Please note: i think I used nearly all options in TWRP and this is why I think I may have wiped the OS from the KF.
The fastboot screen is the traffic light logo, the green light is the only light that flashes!
when holding for 20 secs then powering back up it boots straight to fastboot after 1 sec of kindle logo showing.
Has anyway managed to save a KF2 from this state?
use this tool to recover:

Thanks for supplying this info flopower!!
Lets give it a go!:fingers-crossed:
Totally Mental!
Ok, firstly I feel bad to all of you who do have a bricked Kindle but I have no idea how my Kindle has now recovered!
I bought another Kindle Fire as I made the conclusion that I had totally made my son's unusable. Tried all the recovery programmes with no joy. Was permanently stuck in fastboot mode with the assumption that no OS was on it after deleting all by accident.
My plan was to use the replacement box and put the bricked Kindle in it and return it to the store where i got the new one from, explain to the staff member that my son had just purchased this the other day and on start up and registering the device he was then informed that the Kindle needed to update the firmware. On reboot this Kindle would always show this fastboot screen, explain that I had a look also and could not get it back to its normal state. So I went round but switched off the Kindle first, informed the staff member of what has happened at the same time handing it over to her whilst switching on. I noticed that the Kindle logo as normal would come up but normally within a second it would go to the fastboot screen. This did not happen and I was like twat u twat you have brought round the new one by mistake! right enough the Kindle started up with the original first setup state. So I got myself away as quickly as possible and thought I will just do the same at another branch but this time put the right Kindle in the box. So now back at the house made a cup of tea and sat down, the Kindle which I left behind was on the table next to me and was switched off, I pressed the power button for some reason on it, to my surprise I was welcomed with also the orignal new set up screen! This was the new Kindle!!!!!!!!! I did take the bricked Kindle to the branch and for some reason it was now working, I have even just updated it from to 10.2.6 as it was on 10.2.0 with no issues, turned it on and off nearly 10 times all is perfect!
Unbelievable totally unbelievable! do not understand how the Kindle is now back in play!
I have rebooted tried all options of KFU, KFFirstAide etc etc..... always instantly rebooted in fastboot state! even upto an hour before going round to the shop it was still doing the same, I also tried to electrocute the Kindle so the mainboard would be fried! cant be believe it!
Sorry I will never be able to give an explanation of how it worked!
It seems as if you got off lucky. I incorrectly installed CyanogenMod, and got stuck on the boot anmation. Of course, I din't make a backup, and so I went to another thread and someone stupidly said to wipe the system. Now I'm left without an OS, as TWRP tells me. I don't know how I am going to fix this, as I can't post a thread because I have less than 10 posts.

Surely you just need to flash CM10.1 again?
Normally it happens when you flash a custom ROM over the KF2 standard rom. Wiping system and flashing cm10.1 again should allow you to boot, or you might have to do a factory reset to wipe the leftovers out.

just install my pre-rooted 6.3.3 and it will be good.

Kindle downloaded an update and it kept trying to install it
all i had to do was delete it from the cache folder.

The update will keep coming back.
yes, just temp fix, if connected to wifi, update will be tried again at least once a day
I figured, i installed a firewall on there and blocked adcp
Ok heres the deal. my daughter got ahold of my kindle. we i dont know what she did but she ran something that much i can tell. i powered it off then back on. when it booted, it booted into twrp and ran a recovey script. this is where it hangs up. so i held the power button down to reboot. when it rebooted it boots back into twrp. but it boot to the main menu. i rebooted the kindle though twrp. this time it boots up normal. after it is booted up it shuts down and reboots into twrp back the the recovery script page in twrp and hangs up. i have tried wiping the cashe and dalvick, then reintalling a back up. but the problem is still there. if some one can help me that would be great. it does charge so i got one good thing going for me. if worst comes to worst, i guess a factory reset and then redoing all the work i have done in the past.
Was just stock?
May have been 6.3.3 update

the update requires a compatible recovery to install, if recovery is not compatible, it will get stuck in recovery.
ok so i tried to mount sdcard. it was a no go. was following your vid. my kindle just isnt responing like it should. its geting stuck on simulating actions. not sure what that means. i guess its time to start from scratch. now to remember how to format the kindle to factory. any ideas. haha. i do have a fast boot cable. i could try that method, but you download isnt working right. the codes dont match in md5.

It should not say simulating anything., that is for testing only, setting need to be unchecked

if backup works, check system version
if is 6.3.2 or less it will just redownload the update and try again

if you hadn't wrote simulate, it would have taken some time before I thought of it.
