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.

it won't let me install the drivers that came with the KFU... keeps giving me Install Failed
If you get fastboot devices command to work
You need a recovery.IMG file for otterx
Can be found in recovery.zip by extracting files it will be in /cache folder.
You should be using twrp 2.7.1.0 or newer and 2.05 bootloader
Flash twrp.IMG in fastboot mode with

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.

I'm beggining to find desperation, please help
so my kindle was full of crappy apps (mybad) so i tried to restore it to factory defaults as i had done it before through the Android settings, as usual but, when it was supposed to start up again it just got stuck on TWRP and I've tried fastboot, I've tried normal boot through all means but it just stucks up on the kindle logo, quite disappointing, when I use ADB to fastboot or normalboot, i get this error:
-exec ' /system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
also the ADB status refers to online and an unknown bootmode, but in one of the many methods I've tried, i saw a bootmode that read 0x5001 which was really weird for me to read but anyway, i'd thank you for your differential diagnosis and treatment
PLEASEE!!!!!
PD: i tried ubuntu with the firekit but the file "fk", it just won't open on the terminal, it even crashes opening as text
Alright, I think I might be able to help with this. Download kindle fire update.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620#download
Boot into twrp, and go to to mount. Plug in Kindle fire to your computer. Select mount usb storage. Rename the file to update.zip, move it to your kindle fire. Select un-mount, Then go to home in twrp. Then, wipe factory reset, dalvik cache, cache, and system. Then, go and flash the zip. After that is done, reboot system. You should then be ok.
Good luck
didnt work
okay, i did it.. and it seemed like it was over but then.. when it was supposed to start, it said... battery is too low.. so i left it charging and when it wanted to boot it got stuck again on kindle logo, and now i cannot even boot on recovery
any thoughts?
This seems very weird. Give the KF a full charge. When is is done charging power it up and plug it in to your computer. Use KFU to set boot mode as recovery. Then re-flash the update. Or, you might try going to wipe and selecting factory reset
---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------
You might find that Twrp was un-installed. If it was, Use KFU to re-install it.

Are you able to connect your KF via adb?
Why don't you try this repair kit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
Or this and use fastboot to flash twrp just dont fastboot flash a zip to your bootloader or you will have a seroius brick. Bin format only for fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670405
Or, you could take a different approach, the amazon update that you flashed before might have partly worked. If you did not see twrp when you booted up kf, then your at stock. You can return it to amazon and get full refund. They will never know you rooted it.
Just a thought let it charge via usb for a few hours and then hold the power button for a minute or so to be assured it is powered off then power it up.

Sounds like you have firekit put on your usb incorrectly
---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------
You extract the file to the head of the usb there is only one file inside of the zip folder I believe its firekit.sh
If you have it correctly placed the command in the op will launch it and you need to be connected to the internet for some of the options to work in case there is any fetching of files from the net. I can almost guarantee the trouble your having with firekit is one of two things not applied to the USB correctly or your launching it wrong. Open a terminal and type sudo /cdrom/fk this will give you a great list of commands in the terminal simply copy and paste your chosen command do the short trick keep it shorted and plug it in after it says waiting for device you'll know when you got it right
nothing is working
Please! HELP Nothing is working!! are there any very specific steps on the ubuntu installation_ because i get stuck on the SDK installation.. it says it failed doing something!!.. this is really disappointing.. plus.. i live outside the US .. and retrieving it is not an option .. please give me some ideas because im out of them!

Was playing around with my old kindle fire and decided to root it again (I have rooted it on 3 seperate occasions and had 0 problems)
I managed to get it rooted with SuperUser but couldnt quite ge TWRP on my device. I ran in to so many problems during the process its hard to recall all of them. Windows driver signature problems (fixed), amazon/google driver problems, directory problems, SO MANY PROBLEMS.
I became super frusterated and all the sudden... *BAM* tried turning my device back on from a reboot, and nothing.
What I think I did to cause this? I was in some ROM manager app I got from the play store and I pressed "Reboot to Recovery" After I thought I installed it through the app.
Now Its stuck on the Kindle Fire Boot screen with no Firefirefire, boot loader, twrp, or anything. Basically just a rooted device. ]
I open device manager and it just shows up as an unknown USB Device.
I really need help on this one, Im stumped. Please
I'm not familiar with all the ins and outs of Windows recognizing the KF, but have you tried downloading the boot and recovery images and using fastboot from a command prompt? Like so:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

install drivers try
1. Download install.kindle.fire_drivers.zip it's same drivers included with KFU 0.99
2. Extract the zip.
3. install_drivers.bat
4. reboot PC
If there is some animation to the boot screen, it is bootlooping or battery is too low to boot up
if it's boot lopping you will need a fastboot cable, if it's the battery connect to wall charger and let it charge for several hours
If there is no animation, it is likely in fastboot mode and you could try [6.3.3] Flashing FFF and TWRP without Fastboot Cable
start with step 2 and download twrp and fff, then skip to 6 Fastboot commands

I am looking at the thread you gave me. It says that after you install TWRP, install "update-kindle-prerooted.6.3.3.v1.zip". That would be a rooted version of the stock right?

Kindle Fire not Shown on List of ADB devices
I got the fastboot cablee a few days ago. The device is not listed when I type in "adb devices". I was able to get it the computer to recognize the device as "Android Composite ADB device", but the device is not listed. When I looked at the Hardware IDs, I saw they were different. The original IDs are supposed to be than what is listed on here: http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/13/how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver/.
My Hardware Ids show:
USB \VID_1949&PID_0006&REV_0100
USB \VID_1949&PID_0006
I changed in the "android_winusb.ini" file to
;Kindle Fire%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB \VID_1949&PID_0006
When I tried updating the driver, it had "The device could not be started. (error 10)" I unplugged the device from the computer for like half an hour and then plugged it back in. When I did that and went to the device manager, the Android Composite ADB Interface had no exclamation point with a yellow triangle. It also says the driver is working correctly. I still cannot get the device to show up in the ADB device list though. There is no way I can enable USB debugging. How can I get the device to show up in the list?

Thanks for your help! I was able to fix the Kindle. I think I figured out why I got the errors and reboots. I didn't factory reset the device before installing the stock rom and decided to either factory reset the device or clear the dalvik cache/cache after I installed the stock rom, which I don't think you are supposed to do.
Ok first i have no clue as to what some of this means but here goes ........my little brother assured me he could make my kindle better so he in his words........ he use an app call flashify and flash twrp as the rom on my fire then wiped all data there is no back up can this be fixed remember im no tech person.

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"

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?

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
