[Q] ADB Sideload cannot read zip file

I downloaded the zip file for Android Revolution HD, and it says cannot read zip file whenever I try to sideboot it, or flash it from TWRP on my phone

Sideload is very picky. Just push the file instead. Just load twrp but don't load sideload.
Adb push Rom.zip /sdcard/
This will put it in your sdcard directory. If it fails again load bootloader and do
Fastboot erase cache
Load twrp and try again.

When you push there is no percentage. 1.5 gig takes 400 seconds or so. Just wait till your prompt says it is done.

[Q] [How To][Root] Kindle Fire 1 update 6.3.3 [2014] Now Stuck on Logo

After realizing all my previous failures in rooting my Kindle Fire was due the 6.3.3 update I found this post: [How To][Root] Kindle Fire 1 update 6.3.3 [2014]
Well, that worked well. I went from there to follow this thread: [How To][Root] Kindle Fire 1 update 6.3.3 [2014]
Everything was going well and then I got a call. After the call I accidentally skipped the chmod section and now my Kindle is stuck on the initial logo screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

chmod sets file permissions and probably not necessary. If kindle is stuck it is likely in fastboot mode, just continue with fastboot commands. Fastboot mode has not label or special background, it looks just like boot screen.

Hey, I am stuck with the same condition, trying to reinstall everything. Decive is recognized by pc as Android Phone ADB when checking thru device manager, but it somehow wasn't recognized in command prompt (waiting for devices etc.), any help? Thanks so much

I wish I'd documented all the mistakes & steps. To the best of my memory I re installed the drivers supplied with the KFU yet again and it worked. IIRC the key was rebooting after the last driver re install, As you've learned the ADB drivers are usually the culprit.
Also, make sure you go to reboot with shift held down. Win 8.1, right? If you haven't already been doing that they'll never install correctly. I doubt I can insert links but here's a good walk through on disabling driver signing learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/disabling-driver-signature-on-windows-8/all

[Q] KIndle Fire D01400 TWRP recovery problems

Hello, this is my first post on this forum, though I have lurked on XDA since as far back as my droid eris.
I have looked around the kindle fire forum for the answers I seek, but I have not seen a thread that helps. If I am asking a redundant question, please kindly show me the relevant thread(s) and I will read them.
I was at a small computer store my friend owns in our tiny little town (white hat computer solutions minersville, pa), when a mutual friend and former classmate of ours brought us a Kindle Fire D01400 with a cracked screen he bought off ebay. the previous owner claimed it worked despite the cracked screen, From a hardware standpoint that is quite correct, as you can see everything yet, and the touchscreen responds.
However, they neglected to mention they were selling one that already was modified, it is running TWRP 2.4.4.0 and has an improperly flashed ROM on it ( the stock keyboard crashes, home screen soft key does nothing, gmail works, but google play store does not). sideloading a keyboard app on fixed the keyboard, but the gapps with the exception of gmail don't function. I figured doing a wipe and flash of a new rom and gapps would be a good starting point to attempt to fix this problem.
However when I go into TWRP recovery and try to wipe the system, dalvik, or cache, the operation fails.
I have tried taking the TWRP manager app and sideloading it and using that to update to the latest TWRP. but the version number remains at 2.7.0.1
So my question is, with the above details kept in mind: How exactly do I go about fixing this tablet and making it a functional piece of android hardware for my friend/customer?

Will post back with results as soon as I am done
EDIT:
Flashed it to twrp 2.6.1.0 otter I still can't use the wipe option. tried factory reset figuring i could just push the rom and gapps down using adb again, but factory reset also failed. is there a permission I can reset using adb?

It's not stickied and 'flashable recoveries' can be misleading, but that is what they are called by many.

Previous owner of the device had the TWRP recovery set to use simulation mode. I was unaware that was even an option since i was not familar with TWRP( my previous android flashing experiences used clockwork) after unchecking those boxes in the advanced settings, I was successfully able to flash a rom and gapps, and everything was perfect after that.
sorry for wasting so much time on this, I really missed something simple on this one.

Need help getting Fire Fire Fire and TWRP and Cyanogenmod on Kindle Fire 6.3.3

I've been trying on Windows, and followed the instructions, but when the Kindle rebooted, I didn't see any recovery menu. On Ubuntu now, and I installed Soupkit, adb, and fastboot. But I don't know what to do with these in Linux. I tried one guide, and it tried to load u-boot.bin, which wasn't included in the Soupkit install, and it turns out that Soupkit installed files in the wrong directory, so I tried making the directory path, and copying the files over there, and downloaded the u-boot.bin file I just ended up noticing and putting it in both directories, and it still wouldn't work.
Also, am I supposed to install Fire Fire Fire before TWRP?

Edit: nvm, didn't notice the link. I tried Soupkitchen without the Kindle plugged in. Am I supposed to run it with it plugged in? I tried to run Soupkitchen again, but it's not letting me now.

I rooted it with Saferoot. Ran a root check app to make sure, and it said it's rooted. I tried following the instructions on the page you linked but it ends up pointing to Soupkit and it says no such file or directory when I try the push command.
I have adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and u-boot.bin in the Soupkit directory. I used the official Soupkit download, through terminal.

Kindle must be in fastboot mode to use SoupKit.
If windows command prompt says " it says no such file or directory when I try the push command."

I have the fbmode file. I always get stuck at the push command. I know I have the files that are needed, and I have two Soupkit folders just in case. One in jason/bin and the other in bin. I even tried copying the files in the files folder directly into the Soupkit folder, still no joy. I have adb.exe, fastboot.exe, fbmode.exe, and u-boot.bin and haven't messed around with any other folders I think. This is a sample of my terminal text.
[email protected]:~$ adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp

It says nothing was upgraded, and I already have the newest version. And when I try the push command, I still get the same error. Tried skipping ahead to adb shell and still getting a no such file or directory error. I downloaded the files that were linked in the guide, and I'm pretty sure I'm missing certain files, but I forgot what those were. I borked my bootloader when trying to use EasyBCD to replace Android x86 with Ubuntu. Ended up plugging in my spare drive and grabbing Ubuntu off of that, and loading it from my USB, so I have an OS again, but the files I had were lost, so I've been having to hunt down missing files.
Edit: I have Superuser on my Kindle. I wonder if there's anything I can do from there to make things easier.

I'm so sorry. It's listed as kindle-adb device. (There's no adb in twrp/advanced)

Ok so I went through the whole adb thing, pushed the rom&gapps (cm10.1 cuz old recovery) and when I go to flash it fills the progress bar in like 2 seconds and says reboot as of it flashed but it didn't
