Today I downgraded to firmware 10.4.3 so I could install the 2nd bootloader. Everything is working just fine, except for the recovery.
Every time I try to boot to the recovery, my Kindle freezes on the blue Kindle Fire boot logo with it saying "Booting..." at the bottom of the screen. I left it for 10 minutes and came back to it to find it still frozen on the blue Kindle Fire boot logo and with it still saying "Booting..." at the bottom.
I have flashed a newer version of TWRP, but with the same result...
Please help! I really want to install CM11 on my Kindle!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys, I am pretty new at anything Android related and am in serious need of some help after several hours of struggling to revive my fire. Basically I took my stock kindle and installed a permanent root for the first time ever with the KF utility, after which I proceeded to install the latest TWRP Recovery using the same utility. Upon reboot after TWRP install, I immediately wiped the Dalvik cache and attempted to install the latest gedeROM build (26-6-2012). It seemed to flash ok, but on startup now the kindle will show the standard kindle fire logo, followed by the cyanogen 9 mod loading screen, at which it will stay in the animation forever, and never actually load up. Unfortunately in my noobness I did not realize that installing TWRP was not all I needed to do in order to achieve the option to boot into recovery mode every time, and now I cannot figure out how to once again get to that so I can install a backup of my stock firmware, which I did make. Is there a way to get the kindle into recovery mode without the ability to select that option when starting up? If I plug the kindle into my pc whilst it's stuck on the CM9 animation, the ADB status says online and has a boot status of 4000. When I attempt to send any commands to the kindle from the KF utility telling it to reboot into recovery, it just says waiting for device. I'm sure I just missed an obvious step along the way of the install, but I cannot seem to do anything with the kindle currently, so any help on reviving it would be fantastic!
Hi, just received a 8.9" KFHD running 8.3.1. Rooted it per instruction from this site and install TWRP as per this site. No problem. Then I downloaded the Google apps zip and latest CM10.1 mod to install. However, I was unable to transfer them across to the Kindle, I presume until I was out of TWRP. It was staying in TWRP and would not reboot out of it. I noticed that it had 'no OS' installed. Now it is stuck in the blue kindle fire load up screen and will not load into TWRP
hope this helps

my kindle was at white and blue logo screen and wont boot, but if i powered down completely and turn it back on while holding volume up button for 10 seconds and let go it would go TWRP and from there i did adb sideload a stock rom to fix that issue, hope this helps.
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7". What I did was I tried to install TWRP and hashcode's 2nd bootloader (v7.4.3) via the app "Fire Flash" since fastboot was giving me a hard time. Anyway what I did was I flashed the bootloader and TWRP (version 6.2.2.0) I rebooted and everything went fine, I saw the white and orange kindle logo first. Then the white and blue, then my custom boot animation and then it went to the lockscreen. However when I chose the "Reboot Recovery" option to get into TWRP I got stuck in a bootloop. The kindle would show the white and orange boot logo and then the screen would go black and it would just do this in an infinite loop. I ordered a factory cable from skOrPn so all I would like to know now is how am I supposed to fix this and what exactly went wrong so I don't screw up again in the future.
I got the files from this thread if you couldn't find it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
(Also I'm rooted and I have stock Amazon OS 7.4.3, I can't access the kindle using adb or fastboot with a normal cable)

Thanks, found a few things that might help me out
NOOB here. I rooted my KFHD 8.9 and installed TWRP.
But while rebooting, my kindle is stuck. Brifely see the yellow/white logo and then stuck on Blue/White logo.
I tried powering it off and pressing VOL Up button while powering on again and was able to get it into Twrp a couple of times but after multiple attempts.
Please help!!!!!
If you made backups of your Fire, you can restore using fastboot, or you can enter TWRP and use adb to push whatever ROM and gapps you were intending to install onto the KFHD, and then flash them. That's what I opted for when this happened to me Instructions for how to use adb push to do this if you don't know how are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929. Hope this works for you.
I've been trying to install TWRP and FFF for the past 2 days but I've had no luck whatsoever. I first started out on my Windows 8.1 64-Bit system and the drivers would not install. I moved to my XP SP3 PC and I was able to install the drivers and get the Kindle Fire recognized in KFU. I proceeded to installing TWRP and everything went smoothly until the reboot. It would say "waiting for device" and the Kindle would reboot, but it would get stuck at a "kindle fire" logo with no animation. I've also tried installing FFF first and just plain rooting the device on stock ROM - but nothing works. It always reboots and gets stuck at "kindle fire" no animation. I've tried countless "solutions" to my problem and I'm half tempted just to use ADB to do it. Summary- TWRP "installed" but will not boot into fastboot or recovery. Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
Did you have a PC with an internet connecting? It must load somethings to install to the KF

Yes, everything downloaded just fine. The problem is when I reboot the Kindle. Nothing happens but the Kindle Fire logo with no animation.

The Kindle will NOT reboot into recovery or fastboot. It only wants to boot into normal mode. I don't really want to do a factory cable. If that's what it takes to install TWRP & FFF on the Kindle I'm fine not rooting and putting that stuff on.

Do you get a yellow triangle briefly before it boots up? If so, you have to hold the power button until it changes color from green to orange before it boots into recovery. At least that's how it works with my Kindle.

I don't get a yellow triangle. It try to reboot in recovery after I install FFF and TWRP but doesn't do anything after I reboot- just sits at a "kindle fire" logo with no animation.

I never had FFF installed on the Fire, I was trying to install it and TWRP for the first time. KFU says it is downloading the latest files but should I download the latest version of FFF from FFF's website and install that version instead of KFU's version? The device will not boot into recovery or into the bootloader when KFU tells it to.
