Getting to TWRP screen when rooting Kindle Fire..

Hi.
When I root my Kindle fire , using youtube tutorials I get to a TWRP screen on my Kindle.
Not as shown as in the videos..
Anyone knows why and how to fix this?
When I run the KFU and press 2, it loads everything and success and then it says please wait....
I look on my Kindle and its on the TWRP..

Select reboot then system if prompted...

Connect your KF to computer and run Kindle Fire Utility. Then try to change bootmode to 4000.
Or turn off device, connect to computer, set command in Kindle Fire Utility ( change bootmode to 4000) and
turn on device. It should works.

It is already on Online and 4000. o.o
How can I know if my Kindle is rooted?

The easiest and least technical way would be to side-load a "for root only" apk to see if it works. (hint: you won't find one at the Amazon app store)

I'm have the same problem as original poster and they updated the video instructions to say:
***NOTICE
there seems to be an issue with the kindle fire utility not installing the superuser app which will finish giving you root. So what you can do to remedy this is once you have the twrp recovery, you can flash this stock rooted version of 6.3 (THIS WILL WIPE ALL UR DATA)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569298
OR you can just download this superuser.apk, and sideload it onto your kindle fire (I have a video for sideloading if you dont know how, your data will NOT be wiped)

Is the "superuser.apk" the "for root only"apk your referring too???? What's a "for root only"apk or where can I find info about it?????
Thanks,

Have you had any luck in getting it to work? Im having the same issue unfortunately

[Q] Accidentally wiped everything...now I'm stuck in TWRP

Hi everyone, I tried to root the kindle fire 1st gen and accidentally wiped the sdcard...So now I'm stuck in TWRP with no rom or backup. I tried to transfer files from pc to kindle, but the computer does not recognize the kindle anymore. Please give me some suggestions, thank you!
PS: My system is win 8 x64, installed KFU and android SDK. KFU shows online when the kindle fire logo shows up (it stucks there) but the boot mode is unknown. Also I can't use adb while the device is in recovery (trwp) mode.

Was it only the sdcard that you wiped or had you also wiped system?

I think it's the whole system...not too sure about that though. Now the problem is I can't connect to the pc while in twrp recovery (adb won't work), and if I booted normally, the adb will work.

First of all don't worry as long as your TWRP is working.
I did the same thing while changing one rom to another, accidentally wiped everything.
What you need to to do is
1. Download KF rom. I like twa's rom and gapps zip on your computer.
2. Connect your Kindle fire to your windows desktop.
3. Start the KF, go into TWRP recovery.
4. Click mount option. Now you should see KF as usb drive in your windows desktop.
5. Paste both rom and gapps into backup folder, which is inside TWRP folder.
6. Eject the KF usb drive successfully and THEN click unmount option on the Kindle fire display.
7. Now in TWRP screen, go to install option, go to the copied Rom and install it, gapps- install it and clean catches and dalvinick catches and reboot the system.
8. This should start the KF with new rom. Now through file manager app, go back to backup folder in TWRP and move to other location, if you want.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion. however, I tried this method but the computer does not recognize kindle fire as a usb. Actually kindle fire is gone from the computer and adb not working. Do you know why it's like this? Thank you for your time.

That is strange.
Can you try connecting it to another computer? May be it might work.

This worked for me - key was that I needed to use the usb drivers in his signature. This allowed me to atb over anyway - still can't see it on computer as a usb device.

I'm facing a similar issue but my device is Moto G5s Plus.
The problem I'm facing is that I accidently wiped out the mobile's system completely, and now it does not even have an "internal storage" partition at all (since it shows 0 MB). Hence, I cannot even transfer any files to my mobile because my computer does show the phone detected but no "internal storage exists".
Please help me out..

[Q] (PLEASE HELP) Kindle won't pass bootloader

My kindle has an otterX (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2671619 ) and i just get the Kindle Fire logo and press to open bootmenu. I cannot boot into revoery for some reason and upon clicking continue boot the kindle fire just shuts off. i can't figure out what i need to do to get it unstuck from this situation or if i can throw it into fastboot. when sitting in the bootmenu the kindle shows up in Device Manager as a Kindle Fire (below when Kindle Fire is clicked) and then Android composite ADB Interface. Would rekindle work? i seriously don't want this kindle to be bricked/broken.

When that has happened to me it was from a incompatible recovery or corrupt recovery.
when you see the bootloader it is in Fastboot mode.
just reflash a recovery like otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img
in command prompt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img
fastboot reboot

still confused...
i am getting an error saying it cannot open the file.

did you watch my video? [YouTube] OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [2014-05-08]
Sent from my Amazon OtterX using Tapatalk

i've gotten TWRP to install. i couldn't get the otterX one i needed to install so i installed one i downloaded else where. i was originally wanting KitKat on here but don't want that fiasco to happen again. unfortunately now i cannot boot normally. just gets to the Kindle Fire Logo and restarts.

Is the bootloader set to amazon or otters partitions?
Sent from my Amazon OtterX using Tapatalk

i think it's on amazon. however upon reading some articles of what i was doing the version i have now isn't able to haandle what im doing so i have to update twrp.

You need to pick a direction otterx, or other custom ROM, or stock
Sent from my Amazon OtterX using Tapatalk

using the updated version of twrp thats compatible with installing KitKat will that be possible to leave it amazon or would i need to use otterX for CM11 KitKat?

You can install whatever you want, just need to tell me so I can give correct directions.
You need to check Bootloader settings, advanced does it say amazon or or otterx partitions
Sent from my Amazon OtterX using Tapatalk

i don't see a way to check that. im using the fff-u-boot v1.5 bootloader i believe (not to sure, pretty new to android and rooting) (with openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze (need to update downloaded 2.8.0.2-blaze already) sorry for my being a noob with this. your helping a ton though :highfive: .

1.5 FFF is not otterx just otter
flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-blaze.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-blaze.img
fastboot reboot
in TWRP Wipe/factory reset
install cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10-otter.zip
and PA MINI MODULAR PACKAGE GApps
in TWRP

im having an issue getting into fastboot mode. i've tried restarting my kindle and running fastboot commands. the command to install the updated twrp is still saying waiting for device.

When you see Bootloader it's in fastboot mode
Could be a drivers issue.
When I flash, I usually start with connecting USB cable, then power off kindle, run commands, reboot kindle
Sent from my Amazon OtterX using Tapatalk

The Fastboot mode finally loaded. had to pull the device manager and begin process of pointing out driver and shut off the kindle and as it hit the bootloader point i had to install driver. i believe my issues have been resolved. It booted up KitKat just now. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! :victory: :highfive:

Kindle Fire Stuck on Loading Screen

Hi, about a month ago, I installed the GO Launcher EX on my stock 6.3.3 Kindle Fire 1st Gen. The same day, I decided to make the Launcher my default Launcher. Later, it began to start running slowly so I hard reset it. It now does not boot up and is stuck perpetually on the loading logo.

Didn't install twrp?
If not is logo animated/changing or not.
If animated may need a fastboot cable

I do now have a fastboot cable. I didn't install anything and the logo is animated. What do you suggest?

Then you can wipe data in twrp or reinstall stock.

I am stuck on the same step. Not sure the number, but I rooted, installed go launcher, and was going to install twrp with a utility (I forget which one because I have tried to use so many of them to get out of the mess I'm in) and when it rebooted my device into fastboot/recovery, it stuck on the splash screen that says kindle fire, the 'kindle' text is white and the 'fire' text is orange. My device manager says Android Phone > Android ADB Interface. From what I have read and understand, I need to have the driver showing Android Phone > Android ADB Composite Interface. I can't seem to find the appropriate driver anywhere.
The worst part about this is that I started this for my mother in law so she could have a fully functioning tablet, and now it's a warm fancy paperweight.
I appreciate any help, or just point me to the correct thread. Can't seem to find anything anywhere.

No when in Fastboot it should just say Android ADB Interface

You don't need the fastboot cable, just start with step "Download ADB/Fastboot.exe Files from"
