I tried to root my Kindle Fire HD 8.9" but when I rebooted the device, it was running very slow and it didn't reboot again like it was supposed to. I then downloaded a restore tool for my device, only for it to red screen the device. I can still boot to fastboot mode, so I would like to have the stock img files for the latest update of Fire OS so that I can flash them to my device (or if you can link me to another post that has these files).
Thanks,

Nevermind. I have found them myself. If you are interested, just search KFHD_SFT v2.1, thats what i used to restore my Kindle Fire... Now on to installing the 2nd bootloader and TWRP!

Hi:
I rooted my kindle and installed aokp milestone 6 on it. Everything was fine until one day the kindle started freezing randomly. I thought that it may be a ROM issue I flashed it again with aokp. But the issue remained, so I thought I should flash stock ROM on it. When stock ROM was flashed it stuck on static kindle fire logo (orange).
I then used factory cable to flash recovery and fff boot loader. Till then I am unable to boot using any ROM. When non stock ROM is flashed, the screen goes black after displaying fff screen. And if stock ROM is flashed (both rooted and un rooted) it just displays kindle fire orange logo 2 times and just stays there.
I have tried everything including kindle fire utility and kindle fire unbick utility but no avail.
Please Help. I believe its just a software related issue not hardware related.
I hope I am correct.

sounds like its stuck in fastboot - i guess? but i am of little help really i dont have much KF experience.
can you use kindlefire utility, choose #1 Bootmode Menu, then choose #1 again in the bootmode menu which is Normal.
let it boot. should take a a little less than a minute on a stock rom i guess.
dont go hitting the power button or anything.
does it still stick?
KFU is broke btw with regards to installing twrp. the twrp.img file it tries to download isnt even an img file. its an html file that it just renames to twrp.img.
on the goo site twrp doesnt even exist for the link he gave. so it fails to install.
Already tried that. Kf is not recognized as adb with stock cable. It is recognized as adb with factory cable. When issued the normal boot command using kfu It just reboots and stays on the same kindle fire logo.

Do you get a blue kindle fire logo?
When you flash with stock rom it wipes out FFF bootloader and replaces it with one from amazon.
Warning: Installing the Amazon Kindle Fire Software Update will not only replace the system software, but also overwrite the bootloader and recovery with the stock versions. Any custom bootloader and recovery like FFF and TWRP will be overwritten in the process.

But the system boots or is it stuck at this logo?
After system boot you should be able to run this command
Code:
adb devices
adb is somewhere in kfu directory

Your problem, besides not having a clue what you're doing, is you didn't wipe the necessary partitions before trying to install a new ROM. Most of the time, that results in sort of a Frankenstein of an OS that the system cannot boot normally.
Typically, with FFF installed, you can tell pretty easily what mode your device is in by looking looking at your screen. If the device hangs at the boot screen, you know it is in fastboot, or if it continues on to the boot animation, you know it's in normal mode. With the stock Kindle Fire software installed, both the bootloader's splash screen and the boot animation are the same (with the exception of brightness), so you have to use the adb to determine what state the device is in. In your case, the device is in normal boot mode, so the typical "fix" for "stuck at kindle fire logo" wouldn't apply to you.
Unfortunately, by reinstalling the Kindle Fire update.zip, you also overwrite not only the custom bootloader, but custom recovery as well, which is required to fix your problem. Reverting back to stock, simply to re-root or install a different ROM is unnecessary and a complete waste of time. Now you have to get back into fastboot mode so you can reinstall custom recovery, wipe the necessary partitions and reinstall a ROM.
If any of this sounds foreign to you, it's because you're in WAY over your head. Before you go any further, educate yourself in how and why the Kindle Fire/Android works. Doing so will greatly increase your chances of success and decrease the chances of finding yourself in another situation like this one.

i had this problem but i have a kf2 (non hd)....i also used hashcodes otter2 bootloader files....but what i did was re flash his bootloader files and it gave me twrp back........then i sideloaded my cm10.1 rom and it fixed it where i could get back to cm10.1 then i put gapps back in and everything was fine again.....but as far as me putting it back stock i'm still working on that.....youll have to get it into fastboot mode with a fastboot factory cable to reflash your bootloader files again....it worked for me but i am using a kf2 though.....
I'm in the process of rooting my kindle fire, KFU says attempting to remove root check please wait, and it's been saying that for a while now, my kindle fire is powered on but not rooted what should I do?
Have You Tried Flashing BootLoader Fire fire fire? Or a different recovery using KFU...When I Used Kfu I Diddnt Notice Any Option For Root Checker....if you can get a custom recovery flashed...you should proceed in downloading a superuser.zip to flash in the recovery that will get you rooted...DONT just flash any superuser.zip though...find one that was made for kindle and its stock OS...or flash a stock rooted kindle OS in recovery...always backup...I had trouble with KFU so I went all the way to Linux and used the kindle fire soup kit to install a recovery...then change the boot mode to recovery...you obviously must down load a stable ROM preferably a stock enhanced one before trying the soup kit...or download it while your in Linux BEFORE attempting to flash...glad to help if I did once you get to recovery its smooth sailing

Thank you so much, you're the best!:laugh:
Hey I have my sister's Kindle Fire 2 (non-HD). It is currently on rooted stock with a bootloader installed but it has jacked up the Kindle App and now she can no longer read books or access the Kindle Store on it, on either the stock app or the Android Kindle app. I tried everything to fix that and I couldn't do it. Now she wants to go back to clean stock so as to not have to deal with all this crap. So I followed Hashcode's guide to install the bootloader and TWRP and it worked fine at first. I turned on the kindle, entered TWRP through the bootloader, backed up all of the images, put those backups on the computer, then rebooted. Now, however, when I select "Recovery" on bootup it just says "Booting.." but then nothing happens. I can still get into the normal boot okay but not TWRP. When it is in this "Booting..." state it cannot be recognized by anything. How should I proceed from here?
Sounds like you need to try flashing twrp again. Check the md5sum of the file you are flashing, make sure its the right twrp form your model as well.

Hi all! I'm hoping I can get some help. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 "Jem". I successfully rooted it the other day, and after switching laptops, finally was able to access fastboot on the computer and get the successful output. I followed the directions from this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105. I got all the way through it successfully to the end of step 3 to reboot into TWRP. However, once I rebooted, I get a constant bootloop on the static Kindle Fire logo. No twrp (I put 2.7.0.0 on there, and checked to revert to 8.1.4, but based on what I have read, I MAY have forgot to check the box to load stack).
I found SRT tool from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 and used it to successfully get the Kindle to show fastboot on the screen. However, now I'm at a loss as how to continue. I made backups per the 2ndBL+Twrp thread but I have no idea how to proceed. Any assistance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very proficient in using the commands, but can follow the directions pretty well (or so I thought lol).
Thanks again for any guidance.
Ok I got it back. I figured out I needed to open up a new command prompt in order to enter the fastboot flash commands and flash my backups on to it that I made following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175. Now going to try this again and hope to get TWRP and CM working on it this time around.
UPDATE:
Okay, I'm now further than I have ever gotten before. I have successfully installed TWRP version 2.7.0.0, able to access it no problem. I installed CM11; I have tried both CM11 20140702-NIGHTLY-jem and CM11 20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-jem. Before installing each one, I wiped system, cache and dalvik cache.
However, with each one, this is the problem I'm having. I am stuck at the cynogenmod boot screen (blue alien/android with the arrow circling). I have not been able to get past this. Is there any guidance that you all can offer me to get past this? When I saw that cynogenmod bootscreen pop up, I was so excited and relieved that I got past the blue kindlefire logo this time around, but am again deflated. I know I can boot back to rooted stock from my recovery files so it's not a total loss. I just so want to see it load up as android!!!
Thanks in advance...hope someone sees this. I didn't want to add another topic to the board, so the title doesn't reflect my current issue. So I hope that it'll get some answers. If I should make a new topic, please let me know. As my post count reflects, I am a newbie here. Thanks so much for all the hard work that you all do to help us!
Success!
Just wanted to update!
After wiping cache/dalvik cache/system and then wiping factory reset, and then reinstalling CM11 M6, it finally worked! SO now my kindle hd is now a beautiful full fledged android! I just want to thank all of the people here with all of their knowledge and guides, answers to questions in the threads...I finally figured it out and feel accomplished! LOL.
Maybe you can give me a hand as you've recently gone through this:
tried the 2nd bootloader instructions and the '8.9 Flasher' zip found on these forums, but right now I'm just stuck at the kindle fire logo (not moving). I can get into fast boot, but don't know what to put in there to get me either back to stock, or into CM11.
I (like a fool) didn't make a backup (i used the flasher zip first, and neglected the backup option), so are there stock images out there I can use?

When you restart your tablet do you see the blue KF splash screen? If you can you should be able to sideload a ROM onto TWRP.
If you can't get into TWRP then see this restore tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 you can flash the images manual from the tool if you'd rather not run the bat. Choose option 3 if you do as that includes the recovery as well.

thanks for your reply
im still in the process of fixing everything, but I was able to move past where I was (stuck on static kindle fire logo) by using fastboot to push the stock boot.img, recovery.img from hashcodes post, and then using the system.img from onemeila's rescue post (also wiping the cache)
im still in the process because my KF did an OTA update (!>@#) while I was pushing other files to it, so I had to start over again.

As soon as it boots into the OS, put it in airplane mode or kill your modem if nothing else.
