Did I brick Kindle?

i updated it to modaco 6.2.2, don't know why but did a factory reset in the settings menu. it deleted everything. only left with twrp folder, still able to get into recovery. tried reflashing modaco zip, but says unable to open zip.
can i flash a stock rom?

Yes you should probably flash something. That's why you always make a backup

made a backup and it erased that too. just tried cm7 with no success. will keep trying.

Ok, This happened to me on my DHD, Try to fastboot a recovery and flash it. Use the one doomlord made then Flash. BUT before you do that make sure to have the update on your sdcard.

every zip i tried says installed then when u reboot system it goes directly back twrp

I was in the same situation last month. The only solution for me was to flash the stock ROM and start over from scratch.

Im looking for a pre rooted one, the 6.2.2 link seems heavy traffic

I followed these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20438599&postcount=1 I've never tried it with a pre-rooted ROM, so YMMV. Like I said I flashed this and started the root process over from scratch and this is what worked.

I can't seem to reboot into recovery correctly. Every attempt just lands me back in the stock firmware. Rebooting from there to recovery via adb just gives me the Motorola warning.

No dice. Rebooting to recovery even with that just leaves me staring at the boot image.
EDIT: I remember reading that those who took the KitKat OTA got a different boot image that makes going back to Jellybean difficult, if not impossible. Could that have anything to do with this?

Bah, pay me no mind. I was trying to flash a CWM recovery because that's what I'm familiar with. I tried the one you just named and it works fine.
Sorry about that!

Just an FYI I couldn't get rashr to even look for the file so I tried flashify and it installed recovery with ease.
Thanks for the links attack. I don't like to try these flashing apks without a recommendation.

Are you Fastboot flashing?

Guys KEEP IN MIND:
These are not officials, these are fairly beta builds. You will get errors, I was hoping this would reach some crack-flashers.
That's basically who this is for.

How can we get onto official CM then?
I know it has something to do with the kernel. We can't downgrade the kernel to the one CM is using? Or we have to wait until CM move up to kernel 3.4?

The latest Nightly is from February, which is 4.4.2.
Honestly keep checking that website, and check XDA.
Since the bootloader has been unlocked there should be a lot of movement / action in the dev section.
I would honestly not flash anything older, I mean feel free to mess around w/ kernel that are newer than 4.4.2 on CM.
I can't promise anything if you're on stock. I hope that helped at least a bit.

Didn't think this deserved its own thread, but could someone on 4.4.2 upload their systemui.apk real quick?

Stock or near stock ROM

Long story short, I am rooted and s-on and running an older version of insertcoin rom. The TWRP backup of my stock rom won't restore and I want to use sunshine to s-off but it says I need to have a stock or close to stock rom. Can anyone recommend a rom that will work for me? Keep in mind that I'm still on firmware that is compatible with 4.4.3. I'm only needing the rom to enable me to s-off, then I can upgrade everything.
Thanks.

You do realize how quickly and easily you can switch back and forth between recoveries if you need to, right? Flash the backup, then switch immediately back to TWRP, then make your own with that recovery to save for later. Or you could just switch back and forth again because it is so easy. I'm surprised that there are no TWRP backups for you. Most have TWRP ones available.

If it just for SunShine S-Off purpose, just grab any TWRP 2.xx backup... you don't really need your device version stock ROM.
2.22.401.5 is a good choice.

OK here's whats happened. I downloaded the nandroid for my carrier and managed to install it. Its version 4.4.2 and it detected there was an update. I downloaded it and it installed fine, rebooted and it detected another update, then the wifi suddenly turned itself off and would not turn back on so I couldn't download the second bigger update.
I've re-installed the Insertcoin backup and it's all working again.
any ideas?

I followed all instructions to the tee; however, after I mounted the system and installed the SuperSu zip when I went to reboot it says no OS installed. I tried restoring from nandroid backup, but I get the same message, and my phone won't boot all the way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So just a quick question.... During my rooting steps, I never did backup my stock system...I back up everything after I rooted..as there anyway to go back and start over? Or do I have to wait until a RUU comes out?<br/>

No way to start over. RUU or someone else's stock backup is the only option if you ever want to OTA.

Installing Xposed with Root Access and TWRP?

I appreciate the fact that many will think this thread is a complete waste of time, but i'm struggling to find out how to actually do this with the G4. I have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP 2.8.7.0 installed, but from what i've read the latest Xposed Framework installer (v79) is still causing bootloops on this phone. Are there any safe methods to install Xposed without using the drawn out solution posted here?

Just make sure you have the uninstaller to hand if you need it and also take a back up. I have used xposed on stock 5.1 and stock 6 also cm12.1 and cm13 so there shouldn't be any issues here

I don't think you are an idiot... You have actually taken the time to read the thread and check compatibility which is very smart.
I know v79 skd23 works on cm13 and genesis v3.5 so any marshmallow based roms should be fine. If you have issues then use the uninstaller and if that fails then restore the backup you have taken. No harm done. If you do have issues I'm sure a fresh install of your rom of choice and then install xposed (and nothing else at the same time, plus wipe dalvik and cache) should sort you out.

Thank you for being so kind. I went into TWRP and flashed the file, but unfortunately i ended up with the bootloop. So then i went to boot into recovery by holding the power buttons, but all it gives me is the LG recovery and not TWRP. So now my phone is essentially bricked and i've only had it a week.

We're okay, i sorted it. Never been so scared in my life, thought the phone was done for because i had no ADB or Fastboot to save me. It turns out that by choosing the factory reset option in the LG recovery, it simply boots straight to TWRP because the default recovery is missing. Then i was able to flash the Xposed uninstaller and it booted fine afterwards.

Sorry..... That's your issue. I actually told you wrong yesterday. I meant to say stock based marshmallow rather than stock. It will work with genesis v3.5 which is stock based and an easy flash of you are already on marshmallow. It's due to xposed needing the system to be deodexed.
