I ve been trying to find a way to UNROOT my Fire TV-1 on v5.2.1.1 which has TWRP boot menu.
I was told the easiest way would be to flash one of the first pre-rooted rbox rom's so i picked
51.1.4.0_514006420+updated ROM and flashed it using TWRP and did a delete of the cache/dalvik and
rebooted the system.
It went thru the setup and after connecting to my wifi it downloaded the latest update
and rebooted into TWRP again. I am on 51.1.4.0 now and not sure what do i do to get to STOCK
version with the latest update. - Plz help.
Edit: I ve tried to flash the latest version of the prerooted ROM 5.2.1.1_r1 and it just sits at the Amazon Fire TV logo screen after bootup.

Hi all, I really tried searching everywhere in the forum to solve my issue and I couldn't find anything specific, so I'll try and explain what's happened to me:
This is the first time I tried to install custom roms in my kindle, so I instaled TWRP and FFF and went to install the Rom I downloaded. I had an error message and just couldn't install it... So I wen't to restore my stock backup and just couldn't either. I then tried to install the stock firmware and what happened is that it didn't install the stock firmware properly!
So I'm stuck at the boot logo image, with no OS and no TWRP, FFF, Root or anything... I connect the kindle to my pc (windows) and open kindle fire utility (0.9.9) and I get ADB Status: Online but Boot Status: Unknown... When I try to reinstall TWRP, KFU tries to reboot it in fast boot mode but gets stuck at waiting for device...
How the hell can I get access to my kindle so I can install TWRP again???

I'm guessing you didn't factory reset in recovery before restoring the stock firmware? You need a factory cable.
same issue but I have twrp and fff on mine
When i got the kindle it had nipad ( everything was in chineese) and stock rom (english) installed. the stock rom kept having errors. I installed twrp and fff on the kindle. during the stock install I must have wiped the os some how. when I try to flash the rom it errors, see attached picture. now it won't go past the kindle fire logo unless i put it in recovery. Thank you for any help.
Hi guys,
I was in the final step (7) of this gude: http://www.aftvnews.com/start/
Which is installing the latest pre-rooted stock software, (version 51.1.4.1_514013920) After pushing the rom to /sdcard, I rebooted the device so that I could flash it via clockworkmod recovery, but I was not able to select the recovery option with my keyboard. So I decided to re-do the installation of Rbox's kernel boot menu. Now, I'm stuck at a boot loop with just the white Amazon logo showing up. Is my device bricked and is there a way to fix it?
FYI I cannot access clockworkmod recovery. I wish I could, as I would then be able to flash the latest pre-rooted ROM that's in /sdcard
Does anyone know how I can access recovery?

You need cwm 6.0.5.1.4 or higher AND unlocked boot loader or you will brick it. If this is your situation believe me I hope I'm not the bearer of bad news. Hopefully you'll be ok. Good luck!

I have all that. Box came with 51.1.1.0_user_511070220. Here are the steps I did:
1. Rooted & install busybox and blocked updates
2. Downgraded to version 51.1.0.2_user_510058520
3. Rooted again
4. Unlocked Bootloader
5. Installed Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.5.1.4a
6. install Pre-Rooted Stock ROM version 51.1.4.0_514006420 updated via Clockworkmod recovery
7. Installed Busybox
8. Installed Kernel Boot menu
9. pushed to sdcard the latest pre-rooted stock software, version 51.1.4.1_514013920
10. Rebooted box, but here is when I realized I could not select recovery option from boot menu using my keyboard.
11. I decided to try and reinstall the boot menu. I followed the same steps I did in #8.
12. Stuck at boot loop with white Amazon Logo.
In hindsight, now that I've reviewed each step, what I should have done was flashed Pre-Rooted Stock ROM version 51.1.4.0_514006420 AGAIN via Clockworkmod recovery in order to properly uninstall the kernel boot menu. Then I should have tried re-installing the kernel boot loader again. Lesson learned.

Then I don't know...I always double or triple check to make sure but your steps seem correct. Was this a new box? I only say that because I remember that super tedious process and at one point I think I needed to root again. At that point it maybe possible an update could sneak through but that would probably result in losing root--worst case. Not a brick.
It's concerning because you seem to know what you're doing and were cautious during the process.
Hopefully someone else can confirm where you went wrong. If you didn't go wrong then that might be a bigger problem. Everything went smoothly up until it hung at boot?
As they always say, if your in a jam and get "failed" messages when writing to boot or recovery or flashing, do not reboot. keep trying till you get no errors. that said, I thought I was stuck in a boot loop cause I insalled the llama and xbmc launcher and removed the launcher app. I was still able to get through adb but it took like 5 or 6 reboot tries. good luck.
I blindly tried to install CWM on my second rooted firetv running 51.1.1.0_user_511070220. I am trying to downgrade to 51.1.0.2_user_510058520 so I can properly install CMW but it doesn't seem to take, when i reboot recover it just stays on the amazon logo and halts. I followed all the tutorials perfectly and had no problem installing CMW on my other fire tv that came stock with 51.1.0.2_user_510058520.
Im curious if CMW is installed yet not compatible thus blocking any downgrading attempts, if so what would be the process of removing cmw?
Hi I installed CM10 for my kindle fire HD 8.9 some time ago by using TWRP 2.6.0.0. Do not think I kept the stock recovery at that time.
A few days I decided to update CM10 and chose one update CM11 rom shown in the setting
It is at that time I got into trouble of bootloop. The tablet continue to boot into TWRP 2.6.0.0
Then I managed to download CM11 or CM12 onto my PC and adb push them to the tablet and tried to install them in TWRP 2.6.0.0, but both failed
then i downloaded an amazon stock rom version 8.4.6 and adb push it to the tablet and this time it installed.
But apparently the stock rom is installed on the 2nd bootloader --- i saw the orange "kindle fire" sign first, then the blue one, and then the orange one again before amazon stock rom come up.
Now my question is that is there any way for me to get back to the original stock rom and get rid of the 2nd bootloader totally?
Just want to have a total fresh start and install CM11 or CM12 on this tablet.
thanks a lot.
hi this issue has been resolved. the solution is to update twrp from 2.6.0.0 to 2.8.70 and then the CM11 or CM12 will be installed.
so I decided to install second version of Pre-Rooted 5.2.1.0 ROM and only had a partial boot unlock. I managed to full boot unlock and install clockwork but then I tried to install the prerooted rom but missed the step about not imstalling a prerooted without busybox and bootmenu
Anyway I bricked the device and managed to recover to version 51.1.4.0.
I still have the full boot unlock and it boots into clockwork on startup but I can't root version 51.1.4.0 and can't seem to install a lower firmware version through clock work. I always get "error in update.zip Status 7 installation aborted"
I've tried these guides to put me back to lower stock firmware but no luck.

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-manually-upgrade-or-downgrade-the-amazon-fire-tv/
I know you can't root 51.1.4.0. but is there any options if I already have the bootunlock and clockwork still installed.
I'm at my wits end at the moment. Any advice would be appreciated
It sounds like you tried flashing the 5.2.1.0 pre-rooted ROM using ClockworkMod, right? You can't do that. You must first replace ClockworkMod with TWRP and then use TWRP to install the Fire OS 5 per-rooted ROMs (like 5.2.1.0).
I'm not quite sure the damage you've done, so best to see if @rbox will reply.
Yep, I was trying to get to TWRP. I can still sideload apps and have kodi all working again but running off a SMB share now. No Usb access without the root.. So not all lost I guess. SMB share seems to work well on a wifi network
