I have an original kindle fire that I had rooted a while back, installed TWRP (version 2.5), and a custom ROM and everything worked fine. Yesterday I was messing around with the tablet and with TWRP I used the advanced option to wipe all the partitions of the device. I realize now, that I should have never done that. I've tried using the Kindle Fire Utility to update TWRP, but it always get stuck at activating fastboot. I'm able to mount the tablet to my computer and I have tried to install different ROMs using TWRP, but there is always an error during the installation process. I've tried to search for answers and have tried many options, but at this point I'm not sure what to do. I can't find any TWRP backups, is there an option to download a stock TWRP backup package so that I can use it to restore the tablet?
I just want the ability to install another custom ROM without any errors. Thank you for your help

I was able to use the Kindle Fire Flashable Recoveries to get to TWRP 2.7.1.0 and then I was able to download the ROM. Thank you for your help!
I have another question: I installed "cm-11-20150907-NIGHTLY-otter.zip" and "gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip", but after opening up the youtube app a window popped up and says: "Google Play services, which some of your applications reply on, is not supported by your device." I tried to make sure I downloaded the correct version of gapps for CM11, but it looks like it isn't working properly. Is this an easy fix?

I need to return my kindle which is running cm11 back to stock looks pretty easy renaming software then flashing through twrp. but heres my problem i need to downgrade my twrp for this to work could some guide me through this?
Just restore via fastboot with kindle fire first aid and then update it with a Amazon zip. I think that will also wipe selinux xatribs in the process (which is a good thing as Amazon's kernel would freak out otherwise)...

Hello all,
I had a Kindle Fire 1st gen lying around in my house and I decided that I would get android on it. I downloaded kfu and pressed 2 and enter. It did its stuff but then I thought it was stuck. I stupidly unpluged my kindle and now It is stuck on the stock orange kindle fire logo. I plugged the kindle into the computer and device manager told me it was an unidentified device. People told me to buy a factory cable so I did. I plugged the charged kindle into the computer with the factory cable and nothing happened to the kindle. Then I check device manager. It said that a kindle was plugged in but the drivers were not working. Please help me.

I did install the drivers and had to manually change the kindle to the kindle fire drivers. Under kindle fire now there is a android composite adb interface with a screen picture next to it. There was an ! on that so I double clicked it. The device is working properly. The kindle fire i still stuck on the kindle fire stock orange logo. By the way thanks for responding to my thread I really appreciate it.
follow my Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
once FFF and TWRP are installed you can restore pure stock, install my Pre-rooted 6.3.3, or install a custom rom.
Just let me know which way you want to go, after FFF and TWRP ae installed.

Thanks but now I got more problems in which my kindle fire got STUCK at the boot logo (I found out it's actually a boot loop) because I found a way to get twrp with flashify but then I restarted boot loader (or whatever it's called) and now its stuck here. I tried different tutorials like rebooting it and plugging it in then rebooting but none of them worked. Even launching KFU found no kindle fire plugged in.
