Kindle fire (gen 1) stuck on logo after attempting to install twrp - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was using KFU 0.9.8 and i tried to install TWRP and my kindle fire got stuck on the logo. (I think it might be in fastboot or recovery). I am using windows 10 and i do have factory cables for it. When I plug it in to and out of the computer it does the little ding thing, but kfu does not recognize it and still sees waiting for device when trying to boot into regular.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was worried i lost my kindle, but the driver enforcement thing worked! Anything i should do now or anything I should NOT do now? Also is it still possible to install twrp, should i get FFF, TWRP Vs COTR in your opinion, and what does install google apps/go launcher ex do, and what is the dual boot option for? Sorry for so many questions, this is my first device to root!

Unfortunately, you have bricked (broken) your device... perhaps permanently. None of the how-to guides for the original Kindle Fire will work on the Kindle Fire 2. Using them on the KF2 will almost certainly make them unbootable. You found this out the hard way.
There is currently no procedure to unbrick the KF2 in cases like yours. Flashing u-boot for the Kindle Fire onto the Kindle Fire 2 was the worst possible thing you could have done because the KF2 is unable to boot from it and there's no known way to replace it.
Sorry for the bad news. Live and learn.
but if I buy the usb factory think I can clear all

You are wrong. The factory cable will do nothing for you in this situation. The bootloader that your device came with was signed. Unless you are able replace it with the same signed bootloader, you will probably not get your device back. I sympathize with you. It is a tough lesson to learn but you should have been aware of the risks before you started getting into something you know nothing about.
The only suggestion I can give you (and it's probably a long shot) is to extract the bootloader from the software update downloaded from the Amazon Kindle Fire 2 website and flash it with fastboot. Since you flashed TWRP, you'll likely have to do the same for the original recovery as well.
Even then, I think it's highly unlikely you'll get your device working again.

The bootloader handles fastboot and detects for the presence of a factory cable. You broke your bootloader by flashing a u-boot meant for a different device. Without a working bootloader, the factory cable does not help you.
Your only hope is to use usbboot to load a new bootloader over USB, but that requires a signed aboot binary. The chances of that getting leaked out of Amazon is probably near zero. Sorry. All you're going to get is bad news.
A factory cable will not work the damage you have done Is permanent untill a solution is found and at this point there`s no solution.

Status: Online; Boot: UNKNOWN???? Help!!!!!!

I run KFU and it tells me that the Status is online, but the boot is unknown. Would that have anything to do with the fact that it is already rooted? If not, how can I get it to 4000, so that I can install the recovery and other items?

[Kindle Fire 5th Gen 7in] Bypass "Continue to Amazon Appstore?"

I have rooted my kindle fire and installed play store but I was wondering how to bypass the "Continue to Amazon Appstore" when clicking on play store links.
I've tried using Titanium backup's Market Doctor, but that didn't help. I'm a noob and don't know where to start, so I could really need some help.
this is the forum for the kindle fire 1st gen.
you will get the best help if you post in the right forum.

Everytime I run Install.bat, nothing is installed. Messages keep saying 'files not found'. they do exist in the Data folder. I looked at the .bat but cannot figure out where it is looking for the files. My WIN8.1 signed drivers were installed and my laptop recognized the Kindle Fire (6.4.4). Any ideas? Tnx

Wiped First Gen Kindle Fire now its stuck in a boot loop with force close errors

I bought a kindle fire second hand that had Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 on it and i went to reset it back to the factory settings by downloading the newest Kindle software and following instructions online. It had TWRP as the loader on it and now when I use the KFU it will not let me change the boot mode (says it is unknown). No matter what I do the Kindle will not get out of the boot loop. Please help!!

installing stock is a little tricky
because it reinstalls stock recovery & bootloader, so no twrp or fff
you need to factory reset in twrp before rebooting
if doesn't boot to stock rom, you need a fastboot cable

Thanks for the help. When I get the cable on Monday I am going to try the steps you sent in the post and see if that works. Have you seen the error I am talking about? Where it will startup with the normal Kindle Fire logo and then go into a loop with "android calendar not working, force close" then it reboots and on and on?

Thank you so much for the help! I got the factory cable and was able to install the pre-rooted version. The only other question I have is how do i get Amazon Instant video to work?
