Hello guys,
Today I rooted my Kindle and installed TWRP, because I wanted fonts, but now I want to just delete it. Can you help me what should I do??
Hi,
I think if you want stock rom you should install Modaco Rom.
It is just stock but faster and better + rooted.
Hope it helped
Umm.You see that TWRP doesn't take up space nor damage your system.
You should keep it cause someday it may be useful.
I have spent hours now trying to search and find new ways of flashing the update rom on my kindle fire. i have used unbrick utilities changed the Status 7 error fixes, tried flashing other roms then using update.zip. i have downloaded plenty of versions of the kindle fire stock rom's. but nothing seems to be working. im thinking the problem is that i have a custom jellybean rom on it now (i have tried it with ics installed) but since the KINDLE FIRE STOCK rom is not flashed i cannot update it back to the original form.
PLEASE I AM IN NEED OF SOME SERIOUS Help. consistently it keeps saying error unable to flash etc.
i need some way to get it back and i have refreshed twrp multiple times
THANK YOU ANY HELP IS GREAT
IF YOU ARE READING THIS PLEASE ANY knowledge will be useful even if referring to other posts.

Downgrade to a pre-2.4 version of TWRP, wipe everything but external storage, and flash update.zip.

When I first bought my Kindle Fire 2 a couple years ago I followed the instructions in the thread "[Root][Working 10.3.1]Kindle Fire 2 Root made easy" by Jordan011. I'm rooted on 10.2.4 but don't have TWRP or a backup, and I don't have a fastboot cable. I mainly use my KF2 for reading and browsing the net so I'm happy with the stock ROM.
My wife decided she wants a Kindle and was cool enough to suggest that I buy the new 7" HD and give her my Fire 2. So my question is, how can I reset my KF2 while keeping root so it'll be fresh for her to install what she wants? Since I'm keeping the stock ROM is there any benefit (bug fixes, performance increases, etc) to upgrading it to a newer version with root? Lastly, do I need a fastboot cable in order to install TWRP so I can make a backup?
Many thanks,

SOLVED! I simply used the Factory Reset in the settings menu and was still able to maintain root. It wiped the "SD Card" partition and it's running great.
I have a 32gb Amazon Fire Phone (SD4930UR) with Fire OS 3.6.8 stock (Fire OS 3 is forked from Android 4.2.2.) and un-rooted.
It skipped my mind that the phone has only internal memory while I did factory reset and lost all my photos & video. I know it's my fault and should have kept backup which I normally do. Anyways, it's done now and I haven't installed anything on the phone after factory resetting it.
I tried a couple of recovery tools like Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android, iCare Data Recovery Standard, EaseUS MobiSaver for Android, Any Data Recovery, Asoftech Data Recovery etc and more. But none of them recognized the Fire Phone.
Now, I know it's possible to recover the data but I'm not sure which tool to use. Could someone point me to the right direction please?

Any chance it shoved it all up to amazon's cloud? It seems to want to do that unless you tell it not to.
Thanks for your reply ractar28. I told it not to, which I regret now.
If only I could mount the Fire Phone as a drive ... but I don't know how.
Thanks for the suggestion. will give it a try but does it need the phone to be rooted first to work? as I have FireOS 3.6.8... downgrading for root is not an option till now.

Hi all
A couple of weeks ago I upgraded my rooted gen 1 fire tv to os 5 software and used twrp (previously using clockwork mod as per guides online). Anyway, it worked but i dont think i blocked updates and have since updated to OS 5.2.1.0 and appear to have lost root. No biggie since i didnt use it anyway.
One thing which is really annoying though is that 1-2 times a day ill turn the tv on and the fire tv has reset and is on the twrp screen. I fix this by unplugging the power and the fire tv reboots to its normal homescreen. Im just wondering what is an easy fix for this? Can i get rid of twrp? Do i do a reset of some form? I dont want to lose all my apps and kodi if possible.
I assume it is doing this for a particular reason, maybe looking for updates or something? I havent blocked updates at my router and really dont care too much anymore and am happy to run stock.
Cheers

The device shouldn't be restarting by itself at all, let alone that often. Maybe wipe and reflash the ROM?
I figured it was something to do with it looking for updates but was surprised that It kept happening even after upgrading to a non pre-rooted rom.
Can I still flash a rom even if I don't have root? Which rom do I do?what the fire TV currently has ? Is there any way of just removing twrp?

Sounds to me like it downloaded a stock update but never installed it. You're seeing it sitting on TWRP randomly because after downloading an OTA update, the Fire TV reboots into stock recovery to install the update. Since your stock recovery has been replaced by TWRP, the OTA update is rebooting into TWRP and just sitting there because rbox made it so TWRP wont install OTA updates.
If you want to have a rooted device, install the latest pre-rooted ROM (5.2.1.1) from within TWRP and block updates. You'll also want to follow the "If your device is rooted and still powered on" section of this guide to clear the pending OTA update that's causing the reboots.
If you want to unroot, remove TWRP, and go back to stock, then follow this guide.
I have tried to follow the guide to unroot as suggested at the bottom, but when i go to install in twrp it says "updater process ended with ERROR: 255" "Error installing zip file '/sdcad/sloane-5.0.4-rooted_r2.zip'
Any thoughts?

SOrry, but I'm not familiar with that error. The only things I can suggest are wiping everything except system from within TWRP and then trying again. Otherwise, maybe @rbox can help.
Could it be that gen2 roms don't work on gen1?
hmm, dont know. Is there a Gen 1 option?
Don't know as i don't have a gen1 device. If i was you i would just upgrade to the latest prerooted rom and follow AFTVnews guide to remove any pending ota.
Afterwards you can block future ota's by issuing following command as root:
Code:
pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota

Not quite sure what would happen if you tried installing a Gen 2 ROM on a Gen 1 Fire TV, but you definitely shouldn't be doing it.
Fire TV 1 pre-rooted ROMs are here.
Fire TV 2 pre-rooted ROMs are here.
It's odd that you say you installed an OTA update that removed root, yet you still have TWRP. OTA updates are incremental (partial) updates. Before installing, they check system and/or recovery to make sure everything is on the up-and-up. If the device is rooted, the check fails and the device will then download a full version of the latest update that includes stock recovery. So, going by everything I've observed, either you lose root and TWRP simultaneously, or the OTA update doesn't install. If you really did install an OTA update, lose root, and NOT lose TWRP, then it seems somehow you installed an incremental OTA update on a pre-rooted ROM. I don't know how to proceed from here because I've never heard of this happening and in theory it shouldn't ever happen.

I should have put an /s in that post
My advice would be the same as the one from AFTVnews. Just don't try do install a gen2 rom even though it shouldn't work.
Edit: Forgot this one: "updater process ended with ERROR: 255" "Error installing zip file '/sdcad/sloane-5.0.4-rooted_r2.zip'
As you see it doesn't work anyway.

If this would be the case he could still install any prerooted rom since he still has trwp and so a working custom recovery. In the worst case he needs to wipe data/cache or something like that after flashing.
And so my advice would be: flash latest prerooted, keep root, follow your guide to clean pending ota or wipe data, block further ota's and profit.
I don't know how Rbox implemented this on gen1 but he could also try to install for example the first official full ota (not incremental) to android 5 manually in twrp to make sure the recovery returns to stock as well. But that is just off the top of my head, don't know if this works that way.
Someone has the recovery files for the Firetv Stick 4k, i need to remove twrp because i send it back to amazon
