How would I go about fully restoring my Kindle to 10.2.3 for root and 2nd bootloader. Currently I have TWRP in a soft brick. I can access recovery but mounting isn't working so I assume I will have to fix this from my pc. There are many guides out there to do this but at this day many of the files have been removed. Can someone point me in the right direction and help me get my Kindle working again. A little background info: I rooted 10.5.0 and attempted to install a 2nd bootloader. This partially worked but got to the point of having TWRP installed and downloaded cm 11 with gapps flashed it and nothing but a bootloop of cyanogenmod logo. Thanks in advance

Hi, I have an original KF that was running v6.3.2, I am trying to get it to run JB 4.2.
I successfully (I think) rooted it using SuperOneClick
I installed FFF and TWRP using KF Utilities
It can boot into TWRP
I try to flash Hashcode's 4.2.2_r1 and TWRP seems to complete although it does stick on "Updating partition details"
When I restart it it just goes to a screen covered in weird rotating triangles.Only thing I can do is hard shut down.
I did do backup and can restore it to original Amazon 6.3.2 KF firmware. Interestingly when I do this TWRP asks me to install SuperSU, which I do.I then boots as if its a new KF, except with SU app installed.
Can anyone give me any pointers as to where I might be going wrong?
Thanks

Bad download/corrupted file?
Wait my reading caught up with me. You say it is still booting into stock? That doesn't sound like bad firmware download after all. Sorry... I don't know then! Someone else should have a thought.
I read it once again and realize you restored stock. Lol I go with my original suggestion. Redownload and reflash.

The "weird rotating triangles" is the stock AOSP boot animation. 9 times out of 10, when your device gets stuck on the boot animation, it is from not wiping data in recovery before flashing the ROM. Boot into recovery, factory reset, then reboot to see if it fixes the problem.
Hi all! I'm hoping I can get some help. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 "Jem". I successfully rooted it the other day, and after switching laptops, finally was able to access fastboot on the computer and get the successful output. I followed the directions from this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105. I got all the way through it successfully to the end of step 3 to reboot into TWRP. However, once I rebooted, I get a constant bootloop on the static Kindle Fire logo. No twrp (I put 2.7.0.0 on there, and checked to revert to 8.1.4, but based on what I have read, I MAY have forgot to check the box to load stack).
I found SRT tool from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 and used it to successfully get the Kindle to show fastboot on the screen. However, now I'm at a loss as how to continue. I made backups per the 2ndBL+Twrp thread but I have no idea how to proceed. Any assistance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very proficient in using the commands, but can follow the directions pretty well (or so I thought lol).
Thanks again for any guidance.
Ok I got it back. I figured out I needed to open up a new command prompt in order to enter the fastboot flash commands and flash my backups on to it that I made following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175. Now going to try this again and hope to get TWRP and CM working on it this time around.
UPDATE:
Okay, I'm now further than I have ever gotten before. I have successfully installed TWRP version 2.7.0.0, able to access it no problem. I installed CM11; I have tried both CM11 20140702-NIGHTLY-jem and CM11 20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-jem. Before installing each one, I wiped system, cache and dalvik cache.
However, with each one, this is the problem I'm having. I am stuck at the cynogenmod boot screen (blue alien/android with the arrow circling). I have not been able to get past this. Is there any guidance that you all can offer me to get past this? When I saw that cynogenmod bootscreen pop up, I was so excited and relieved that I got past the blue kindlefire logo this time around, but am again deflated. I know I can boot back to rooted stock from my recovery files so it's not a total loss. I just so want to see it load up as android!!!
Thanks in advance...hope someone sees this. I didn't want to add another topic to the board, so the title doesn't reflect my current issue. So I hope that it'll get some answers. If I should make a new topic, please let me know. As my post count reflects, I am a newbie here. Thanks so much for all the hard work that you all do to help us!
Success!
Just wanted to update!
After wiping cache/dalvik cache/system and then wiping factory reset, and then reinstalling CM11 M6, it finally worked! SO now my kindle hd is now a beautiful full fledged android! I just want to thank all of the people here with all of their knowledge and guides, answers to questions in the threads...I finally figured it out and feel accomplished! LOL.
Maybe you can give me a hand as you've recently gone through this:
tried the 2nd bootloader instructions and the '8.9 Flasher' zip found on these forums, but right now I'm just stuck at the kindle fire logo (not moving). I can get into fast boot, but don't know what to put in there to get me either back to stock, or into CM11.
I (like a fool) didn't make a backup (i used the flasher zip first, and neglected the backup option), so are there stock images out there I can use?

When you restart your tablet do you see the blue KF splash screen? If you can you should be able to sideload a ROM onto TWRP.
If you can't get into TWRP then see this restore tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 you can flash the images manual from the tool if you'd rather not run the bat. Choose option 3 if you do as that includes the recovery as well.

thanks for your reply
im still in the process of fixing everything, but I was able to move past where I was (stuck on static kindle fire logo) by using fastboot to push the stock boot.img, recovery.img from hashcodes post, and then using the system.img from onemeila's rescue post (also wiping the cache)
im still in the process because my KF did an OTA update (!>@#) while I was pushing other files to it, so I had to start over again.

As soon as it boots into the OS, put it in airplane mode or kill your modem if nothing else.

Ok so to start this was my first time roots and putting a custom os on an android device. It's a first gen kindle fire the firmware originally on it was 6.3.3. I rooted it using safe root with success. I then proceeded to install TWRP and that worked with out an issue. I basically followed lthis tutorial. I then booted into TWRP and cleared the cache then did a factory reset. I then install the newest version of CM 11 without issue then proceeded to install gaaps for it but it failed I figured it wouldn't matter (dumb thing to think). Then i rebooted it got stuck at the boot logo so i figured i messed up a step so I figured I'd just start from scratch just to be safe. I went back into TWRP and cleared all the caches and did a factory reset and installed the os from amazons website which i thought was the same firmware as before (6.3.3) but I later found out it was 6.2.1 and rebooted and got stuck at the boot logo again but this time there was no TWRP to boot into which is where I am stuck now. Windows picks it up as kindle in the device manager adb can pick it up too. I figured I'd try rooting it again all the commands it does fails because /system/bin/sh doesn't exist. Then it reboots and says something has deleted su looking for backup copy then says the back up is gone too and it can't recover. I then tried putting it into fastboot mode again with the commands and no luck it says /system/bin/sh doesn't exist so I can't do that. Im stumped now couldn't find anything through googling and searching the forums. Is my kindle bricked?

alright I was hoping I didn't have to. Is there any good places to buy it from other than ebay that ship to canada?
Edit: Nevermind I decided just to go to ebay. Thanks for the help.
HELP: I have CWM 6.0.5.1.4a and installed the latest rooted rom. Now I have a bricked device in boot loop. I am able to get into CWM with the ALT+i+prt scrn method.
I have tried installing varoius roms but my device does the same every time. It is just stuck in the color Fire TV logo.
Since I don’t have SU from CWM I cannot get ADB to upgrade to kernel boot menu or downgrade to stock firmware.
What should I do? Any help greatly appreciated!
I also tried the factory reset from CWM but with no result…

Install 51.1.4.0 from CWM to fix it. Then follow all the instructions/requirements for the latest.
thanks! I installed 51.1.4.0 pre-rooted rom CWM and it worked. I thougt it failed and started the loop again but after a wile it booted into the amazon software.
I used the same one...

I installed 51.1.4.0 to un-brick. i followed the guide to install su and busybox, verifited rom. I installed custom rom 51.1.5.0_515030720, rebooted and now stuck at amazon fireTV logo. any suggestions?

Seems you followed part of the guide but did you take all precautions? You need boot menu and unlocked bootloader for that fw. If you have these and confirmed they work, plus you checked mdsums...I can't imagine why it's in bootloop.

What is that method exactly?
Alright, got a question, tried to find an answer everywhere.
Went to update to the newest version through CWM (51.1.5.0_515030720). Forgot to re-install Boot Menu, am now in a brick/bootloop. Despite what I've read, no amount of wiping the data/cache/dalvik cache gives me back the option to simply "reboot." In addition, all the guides tell me that I need to downgrade by installing 51.1.4.0_514006420. That's all well and good, but I have no way to get 51.1.4.0_514006420 onto my Fire TV to install it. Sideloading doesn't work, as ADB isn't functioning properly through CWM. Fastboot doesn't let me install roms or push files on.
Can someone please help me figure out what to do next? I can get to recovery, I have a keyboard, and I don't know how to get this older rom onto the Fire TV.

Ok here's my situation I rooted my kindle with kingoroot then I installed TWRP by the app and I didn't know how to open it. Then I noticed when ever I tried to upate my Kindle it directs me to TWRP so I used that method. I was so happy. Ithen downloaded the lattest cynogen and Gapps. I then went on TWRP I first did what any person would've done cleared the cache and data. then I resumed on flashng the rom hen it said rom is for Otter X2 or Kindle 2 or something like that it then went on an error, so me being stupid thinkng it was nothing i flashed Gapps and it flashed. When I rebooted the tablet. It was just in a boot loop of the orange Kindle Fire Logo. I've tried different things but none worked. Plz Help
