Here are the step by step things I have done. (I apologize in advance for mispelled words or wrong versions)
- My computer is operating windows vista. I used Kindle Fire Utility to root Kindle Fire on 6.2.2
- When 6.3.1 came out I upgraded KFU to 0.9.6
- I re-rooted and installed TWRP and FFF as wells as Go Launcher
- I then decided I wanted a stock Kindle Fire
- I did master reset under the options menu on the kindle. That took out Go Launcher. I was trying to unroot with out researching , so I thought if I went under TWRP and did a factory reset that would take care of it. (No need to yell for not researching, wife has done that)
- Now I’m locked at the white/orange kindle fire screen
- I still get the blue/white kindle fire screen to show up with v 1.4a in top right corner.
- I’ve tried normal/recovery boot, no luck there.
- I’ve tried holding power button 10-30 seconds several times, no go there
- Under device manager the kindle is listed as android phone and adb composite device (?) Not sure that’s the exact wordage but it’s the one with composite in it.
- KFU shows offline, unknown root status.
- While stuck at the white/orange screen I am not able to acces the Kindle Fire sd card
- If I go into TWRP I am able to mount the SD card and access on the computer
- I downloaded 6.3.1 from Amazon. Changed it to a zip file and put it on the sd card.
- I wiped cache and delvack (spelling?)
- When I try installing 6.3.1 zip in TWRP I get an error message.
- Do I need to wait for another amazon update?
- What else can I try?
- If I need to do line commands, please make it as basic is possible. I have read the beginners postings form kinfauns. Postings 1 & 2 made complete sense. Posting 3 went over my head.
- Command lines I have tried “adb devices” no devices are listed (it’s blank). “fastboot devices” nothing happens, “fastboot device” gives a lot of command options. Not sure where to go from there.
Sounds like your system software is broken if a factory reset in TWRP won't get it to boot normally.
What's the name of the zip file before you copy it over to the /sdcard? When you look at it with the Windows explorer, the file icon should look like a folder with a zipper down the middle of it. If it doesn't have that, you haven't changed the name of the file properly and the file suffix is wrong. Do a google search on changing the file suffix on Windows for info.
What's the error when you install the zip file?

I downloaded the 6.3.1 file from Amazon's site. It had a long file name so I changed it to update. It has .bin followed behind it. I then right clicked on it, send to, compressed zipped folder. It does have the zipper folder.
I had the mount mode enabled through TWRP and copied it to the sd card and put it under the TWRP FOLDER.
Went back to the main menu in TWRP, install. Found the update file, started install. Started to install then stops. Can't remember wordage exactly, kindle is at home right now, but there's red letters that say error.
If I were you, I would install android sdk from google. then, use the sdk to install android tools and android platform tools. Make sure you installed to android sdk to the root file. Use twrp to reboot into bootloader. Plug in the kindle to usb. Then type this in (command prompt):
cd..
cd..
cd root
cd android-sdk
cd platform-tools
fastboot shell
reboot
Give that a try and tell me if it works.

I assume the first 2 "cd.." are to get me to the correct folders where android sdk is installed?

I think you had the .bin and then compressed it to. Zip that made it compressed it twice
You should
Download the kindle update
Open it up in notepad or something
Do save as
Save as update.zip
Then move it to sdcard/
Then flash in TWRP

I did initially try just the .bin file without the .zip, but I couldn't find it. Once as a .zip file I could find it.
I downloaded 6.3.1 from Amazon's site again. I tried opening in notepad, but it locks up. Tried wordpad, my save as options: rich text format (rtf), text document, text document-ms-dos format, Unicode text document. Don't see anything for .zip

Help
I got stuck in a nasty bootloop which Gregory was kind enough to help me out of by giving me the link to the Amazon Update. I was able to flash that and go back to stock. I then, possibly foolishly, thinking that I had lost root (did I?) ran the KFU utility which got stuck halfway through and now I am stuck on the white/orange kindle fire screen. Is there anyway to get out of this? I know, I suck. Your help and expertise is greatly appreciated.
So I followed the steps in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452) in the second post. I downloaded the update and renamed it update.zip and proceeded to do the factory reset. After this I went to install the update and was unable to locate it. So I went back to my computer and actually converted the file into a zip folder and copied it onto my kindle. This time it showed up but when I went to install it almost immediately came up with an error message ( Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update.zip' ).
I'm not sure if I was supposed to follow the steps in the first part of the post mainly because I have no idea what this means (adb uninstall com.noshufou.android.su) and because I've seen similar steps on other sites without the first half of that post.
Appreciate any help that can be provided.
You are supposed to rename the update.bin to update.zip, not zip up the original update.bin

When I did that I was unable to even locate the file.
I'm not sure if this makes a difference or not (in fact I'm pretty sure it doesn't) but the icon next to it is the VLC icon.
I've also tried using the kindle update utility to download the latest stock update zip. Nothing. I see my update.zip when I go into the file explorer under advanced or if I mount my usb to my computer but as soon as I go to install it's not showing up
hahaha I feel so dumb right now. I found it on the file explorer and it was named update.zip.bin. I then renamed it while in twrp and was able to find and install it. For whatever reason when I renamed it on my computer it would always end up as update.zip.bin
Download the update-kindle-6.3.1.bin from the Amazon website.
Rename the update-kindle-6.3.1.bin to update-kindle-6.3.1.zip.
Transfer the update-kindle-6.3.1.zip to the sdcard.
After wiping system and factory reset in TWRP, use the navigation window in the install menu of TWRP to navigate to your sdcard.
Flash the update-kindle-6.3.1.zip
Hi Guys,
Firstly, thanks so much for the info on this community. I've followed loads of the threads and almost all of what I need to know is here.
I have a KF2 @ v10.3.1. I've rooted it and applied the 2nd bootloader using a homemade lead (thanks to the thread on that!). I started in Windows but switched to Kubuntu after getting driver issues etc.. To compound the problem, the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, which didn't help as I couldn't load apps whist it was stock. (It's not stolen or otherwise illegally obtained. Amazon sent it in error, and despite me contacting them to ask how to return it, they've never replied)
Anyhow, After following THIS thread, which appeared to go OK, after rebooting I'm unable to boot into Recovery. The blue screen just stays there. I can still boot normally, but I would like to load CM10 which is loaded as per the thread, along with gapps, both in zip format. I have read many threads about being stuck on the blue screen, but these are always locked and need to be restored, but I have no problem booting normally and the KF2 is not locked. I've searched this site and googled plenty.
I don't expect an exact answer, but if someone could just point me at what to look at, I'm sure I can find the rest of the info I need on here. :good:
Oh, also. Another quick question. I see that the CM10 images are constantly being updated, if (when I get mine working) I want to use one of these, is it simply a case of copying the zip file over? Or is there more to do than that.
Many thanks in advance.
You can boot normally? Into stock, I assume.
Run the apk tool from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106463
Should get you fixed right up
The zip file will have to be flashed from recovery. So, its a matter of copying the zip file (and gapps) over. Boot into recovery. Wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. Then flash rom first, the gapps.
Also, be VERY CAREFUL and make sure you have a GOOD DOWNLOAD by checking the md5 on the file. If you wipe the system (which deletes the stack file) you will not be able to boot into recovery or anything.
I still recommend that you purchase a fastboot cable.
Edit: also, when booting into recovery you might have to hit the power button a couple of times.

Cheers mindmajick. I've tried to do this but still having a few problems.
If I use the wired version, the runme.bat does not have permissions to the data/app folder. I can't seem to run it in Kubuntu as it says I can't run a binary file if I make it executable, but says I don't have permission if I remove execute. (I'm looking into this - but I'm not very good with Linux, so lots of Googling!!...lol....) Also I see that there are some issues with this version with the wireless version being favored. Unfortunately as I'm unable to log onto my Amazon account, I can't use this method.
I will continue to try, I'm almost there now, thanks for you help so far.

I'm still unsure how to run the runme.sh from Kubuntu command line.
I tried - ./runme.sh
but error is - unable to run a binary file - or something like that.
I'm unable to use the cordless version com.powerpoint45.FMKilo-2.apk due to the fact that as the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, I'm unable to log in and download or install .apk files.
Is there is an alternative way to install .apk files without needing to log in?
Hopefully that makes a little more sense. Cheers
Yes. Download the fmkilo apk from his thread, (use the browser if you have to) then once downloaded pull down the notification bar and tap on the apk link. Also, make sure that the option to install from unknown sources is set in the settings before doing the download
You could alternatively push the file via adb to the system Directory.
Is USB debugging enabled? Are you rooted?

Yup, that did it. I had overlooked the fact that I was still able to use the browser on the KF2 and didn't really know you could install .apk's using that method anyway. So now I have carried on and installed Jellybean 4.2.2 on there and it works a treat.
Thank you ever so much Mindmajick for taking an interest in my problem, I really do appreciate yours and the rest of the developers time on here. :good:

Not a problem: Thanks
I think this is a method of pushing the flash and image files to the tablet and then installing using ADB by the way it is described.
I think I have that method copied down some place else.
I have never used this method but, sounds like it would work.
I also presume you need root to do the install via ADB.

I was running Candy5 ROM ver. 2.5 and saw the thread for the 4.0 ROM. I downloaded it and Gapps and put it on the Fire HD. Rebooted into Recovery and into TWRP. That's when I did one of the most stupid things that I've ever done. I wanted a clean install from scratch. Unfortunately, I erased everything! When I realized what happened I rebooted and the screen goes through the two fire HD logos stopping at the last one. Is there ANYTHING I can do to get an operating Fire HD back up and running, Please!

Try to reboot into TWRP (press + hold volume up as soon as you see the first logo, keep holding till you see the TWRP curtain). If you are successful, copy a ROM zip into the kindle's internal storage (gapps are optional, but I recommend you flash them along with your chosen ROM), flash it, reboot, and cross your fingers.
Thank you. I'm making some progress. Your instructions got me into TWRP (ver. 2.8.6). Next step is to get the PC to allow copying of the ROM file. TWRP does recognize that there is no operating system installed. Thanks again!

If you can't directly copy it, try adb sideload path/to/ROM.zip (enable sideloading in the advanced menu in TWRP first, or you'll get an error). Make sure you have adb drivers installed and working if your PC's running Windows. Good luck!

Adb sideload worked with the Candy5 4.0 ROM. The Gapps zip failed due to the file size being too great. I can tackle that after the ROM is installed. Another stupid question - any idea where the sideloaded ROM zip file would be internally? I explored using the TWRP file manager and all I have is the directory structure - no actual files. I probably looked in 50+ folders and they were all empty. I think there must be hundreds of directories and subdirectories. I found one folder named sideload thinking I had it but no luck. Worst case I can open every folder and hopefully find the ROM zip file.

From the TWRP FAQ for the sideloading feature:
TWRP versions 2.8.2.0 and higher will stream the zip from your PC without storing it on your device. If you wish to store the zip on your device for later, you should not use sideload and instead use adb push or some other method to copy the zip to the device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Older TWRP versions used to store the zip file in /sdcard/sideload, but I think versions 2.8.2.0 and higher use it as a temporary buffer and delete the zip after flashing. If you're able to get Android up and running, then you should be able to connect it to your PC, copy the ROM and gapps zips over to the kindle without using adb, and flash the gapps.

Thanks very much for all of your advice and suggestions! I'm back up and running. The gapps package was causing an error 70 message. Once I found a smaller file it worked. It certainly was an excellent learning experience. Thank you again.

if you can acces to recovery, the only thing you can do is adb sideload ...bin
with an original stock ROM for your fire phone
(.bin must be the extension of the file, that you can get from official amazon site)

Try using another wire and/or another port and/or another file... (the original stock that I had is in my shared folder, that one for exemple or any other one)... I hope you could relive it...
