[Q] Kindle Fire 1st gen bricked after fail root and factory cable.

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.

Thank you so much for helping me get my kindle back to normal. I have not been able to figure out how to do that in 5 months. Is there a way that I can install android on it. I think there is a custom rom that I can use.

you installed FFF and TWRP, rebooted, and stock rom booted normally? If so must of been stuck in Fastboot mode.

[Q] Kindle Fire 1st Generation (ROOTED)

Hi. I had been rooting my KF1 since I had the guts to do it. Anyway, in a couple of years we always update it. So yeah, I had my KF factory reset just this year because no one answered my question about how to install a new ROM when you already have your KF rooted. So I was back to zero and did the same process, everything was a success. Now, I don't want to go through the same process because I don't have the PC I used to install the KFU before. And my PC is running on Windows 8 and I've read there are problems in installing KFU on Windows 8.
The main question is, is it necessary to update my TWRP to the latest version? I don't have a Windows 7 PC. I just want to install a new ROM (Kitkat) and gapps since my Google Apps has been crashing already. My KF1 is currently running on Jellybean.
Thanks for your immediate reply!

You need twrp 2.7.x to flash KitKat. There is a zip file available to flash in an existing twrp. Then you can download kk and flash it.

I got this app called rom toolbox and I deleted the kindle operating system now when I turn on my Kindle it has the stock bootlogo and it stays that way.

I didn't have TWRP installed, and I didnt use KFU to root my device I used this app called Key Root Master (VER 1.3.6), and in every thread the person used KFU or TWRP so I dont know what do please help me!!

You will need a Fastboot Cable see
Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery

So basically I use the fastboot cable and somehow that will launch TWRP which I never had. And it will allow me to flash a ROM to get it working again

The fastboot cable forces the kindle into fastboot mode, where twrp and fff (custom bootloader) can be flashed.
once you have twrp, you can reinstall stock or install a custom rom

Ok so the fastboot cable allows the kindle access to twrp and once I have that how do I install a new ROM I really want Android (4.4 or up)

the Fastboot cable allows you to flash Twrp/fff.
You don't need the cable to access twrp
Pick a rom from the Index, download it to a pc, connect kindle,
In twrp select Mount>check storage/sd card>mount usb
copy rom file to Kindle

But where do I get TWRP is it like preinstalled on the kindle

Unable to install ROM with TWRP after Advanced Wipe - Original Kindle Fire

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

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.
