So i was messing around with my kindle and accidentally wiped everything on it. I have been trying to flash the update.zip that you can find on Amazon's website but it keeps saying there was an error flashing rom. So i have looked around and people keep saying that you must downgrade from twrp 2.6.0.0 to twrp 2.2.2.1 to flash it. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Download 2.2.2.1.zip, install in current twrp, reboot, wipe/factory reset, install stock.zip
Make sure stock update.zip is complete, or you will have problems.
My pre-rooted 6.3.3 is a better stock option.

As for the problem, does your N7 have a custom recovery installed?
If yes, just boot into recovery, plug it into your PC and ADB sideload a ROM from your PC onto your N7. How you can do an ADB sideload depends on what custom recovery you have, and can be found on the web if you search.
If no, just install one ASAP and do the rest

You can open a command window on the platform tools folder inside the android SDK (here) http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html by holding shift on it and right clicking. Click open new command window here. Go into fastboot mode on your tablet. There is a command to flash a .img which is fastboot flash (or fastboot boot if you do not want to flash) then after fastboot flash or boot you put the name of your recovery followed by .IMG (it has to be a .IMG file) the recovery needs to be in the platform tools folder for this to work. From your recovery you can flash an image but it needs to be on the internal SD(so this probably won't work)

but to do that i need have unlocked boot loader ? or i can repair it with lock boot loader too ?
I heard that you could flash a recovery without an unlocked bootloader but if you want to unlock your bootloader type fastboot oem unlock in the the command(while in fastboot) window and you will be asked if you want to unlock Select yes with the volume keys and the on button

I'm pretty sure this requires the devices USB drivers which can be downloaded here http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html right click your tablet in device manager program, press update drivers and browse for the USB drivers (need to be extracted).

Did you install device drivers?

This saved my Nexus 7 2013. It would not boot, I could not flash, format, copy anything, etc. The dreaded spinning Google symbol. It would give me errors when trying to flash. I tried TWRP and CWM, nothing would flash. I ran the Dead_Nexus7.bat file from the link below and my Nexus worked. It was like magic bringing it back from the dead. I am assuming the problem occurred when unlocking the device. It froze for a minute or two, until I started tapping on it.

yes all driver installed properly , after type fastboot oem unlock i press yes on tablet and after seem like tablet hang !!
Hmmm. You actually don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash a recovery so just run the fastboot boot or fastboot flash

Okay some background information that might help.
Haven't touched my daughter's kindle in over 2 years after rooting with Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6 and putting CM 10.1 on it, as well as TWRP Blaze 2.4.1.0. Fast forward to today and she says it's acting weird. I chalk it up to it being very out dated and look into updating to the latest and greatest. So I head on over to OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [TWRP 2.7.1 2014-06-08]. I make sure adb is up and running and that I can push files while in recovery. I flash the latest bootloader and reboot. Everything seems normal until I head to the next step of flashing the new recovery. Try to boot into recovery and the device just boots normally... tried to use the fastboot method and it just hangs on "waiting for device". The device reboots, but instead of doing what it's supposed to do, it just boots normally. Now I'm getting a little impatient with everything and no longer having the ability to boot back into recovery. So now here's where I really shot myself in the foot, I proceed to think its a great idea to use the fix EMMC corrupted device option that proceeds to wipe everything (which I knew was going to happen) and now can't get past the fastboot mode screen....
I now don't seem to have a recovery... but I can still turn on the device, see the initial "Kindle Fire" screen with the power options to get into Normal boot, Recovery boot, advanced. Normal boot does nothing but boot into fastboot mode, as well as recovery. The advanced menu pops up normally but I'm not sure if that really matters in this case. While connected to the computer it shows up as an unspecified device named "kindle" with an exclamation point on it. I'm not sure what to even do at this point in time... Any help would be great.

Window 7, 8?
You extracted zip, not running bat in zip?
Checked file size or md5 checksum?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Yea, no idea why it's not showing up as a device.
I did technically use the EMMC Corruption Fix that wiped everything on my device, just short of the bootloader. Not sure why the computer isn't recognizing it. Must be that my computer isn't really set up for fastboot? Weird thing to is, it no longer shows a serial number like it used to before under the "Advanced" options... Don't know if that's significant. Other things that have changed that I've noticed from the advanced menu is that Charger Mode: OFF (was on before) Serial Console: OFF (was on before) Serial #: BLANK (used to have something there) and that's about it. Don't know if I just need to set up something on my PC end to not only recognize the kindle but to actually be able to use the fastboot stuff. I think that's where my problem my also be.

You should download adb/fastboot files from my Flashing Twrp in FFF bootloader with fastboot.exe
Step 1:
download adb-fastboot.zip
Create a folder in c drive named adb,
unzip/extract files,
copy AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, and fastboot.exe to adb folder.
Step 2
install Kindle Fire drivers
check drivers, open device manager, kindle should be listed
android phone>android adb interface
if not see my Driver links / Errors /verify drivers are installed correctly
if drivers are correct
Step 3
Open a Command Prompt (start>all programs>accessories>Command prompt)
change directory to adb folder with
Code:
cd\adb
adb devices
should get a return code back something like
Code:
123456789abcde recovery
if so enter
Code:
adb shell "cat /proc/cmdline"
post code returned in this thread
mem=512M console=null androidboot.selinux=permissive

shouldn't matter, but 2.8.x.x twrps are not complete, adb is flaky at best.
try to mount sd card
select Mount> check sd card> mount usb
do you get a removable disk pop up?

try to push file
download zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.zip
and push with
Code:
adb push zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.zip /sd card
command pompt did all kinds of stuff but kindle did nothing
does zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.zip show up in sd card?
advanced>file manager> /sdcard

yah, adb is not working correctly, probably next step is getting a fastboot cable Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
No
could try
in the reboot options choose fastboot or bootloader
and flash the bootloader and twrp like in the Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery

stock bootloader is just the kindle fire boot logo, I have no idea if selecting reboot>bootloader will cause it to stay in bootloader or it will continue to TWRP
to test use
Code:
fastboot devices
I would send command just before selecting reboot>bootloader
Hi please can anyone help,
I was trying to put a standard rom onto my kindle everything was going ok re rooting etc and I have twrp on there , Somehow in twrp I have managed to mess up all of the partitions probably through accidental wipes. My drivers seem to be installed ok but can't access the disk through windows or via adb it just says "device not found" ad I'm unable to mount the device either. Please help as I'm losing the will to live.
I have attached screens if that helps

So you were trying to switch to OtterX?
did you watch my video posted here? [YouTube] OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [2014-05-08]
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
yes I was trying to use otterx . I've just watched the youtube vid and when I execute adb shell it's telling me
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed : No such file or directory (2)
if I try to flash the bootloader it sits at waiting for device

you shouldn't need to flash bootloader, you have bootloader and twrp,
try fixing partitions
Could I ask how I do that please?

Did you wipe cache, rebooted, Format Data, wipe partitions in wipe>advanced ?
I've followed thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire/general/how-to-fix-lollipop-install-errors-t2974063 and the cache and system seem ok now but can't do anything with the data partition .
I've attached some screens so you can see what its telling me
hold fire I think I have sorted the partitions now I'm going to try to push a rom on
fantastic the partitions now seem to be doing what they should . How do I get a rom on there now? as in how do I get it onto the device to then install it

if twrp 2.7.1.0 use adb push like in video
if 2.8.X.X use mtp in mount options, but should be enabled by default, then it's just drag and drop, or copy/paste
ok now its gone all weird can't boot into twrp stuck in fastboot mode
