Otterx installed, now i cant enter recovery - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I followed the steps to flash TWRP and FFF through fastboot using cmd, and it worked, i flashed the OtterX bootloader from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50852363&postcount=2 and i rebooted from recovery, and it shows the otterx boot options at the bottom, and i can use the power button to get in and look at the advanced menu, but when i select and long press Continue Boot or Recovery Boot then it just reboots back to the same screen and nothing happens. If i wait too long it just entirely turns off, so i don't know what to do from here. I am using an original kindle fire.

I stuck in recovery mode, what should i do?

Hi guys.
I had installed one of ROM's, i even don't remember the name, it was 5 months ago.
Then in Settings I pressed to reset factory data, which deleted all my applications, personal data and etc.
After that when it restarted, it stuck in TWRP recovery mode..
I tried installing several ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619550 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488930 but after flashing/installing it stuck again.
what should i do? :s
i tried googleing but nothing came up .. :s
Do you have the Kindle Fire Utility installed on your PC? If so you could try using that to set you bootmode back to 4000 (normal).
If you can mount SD card and move a new rom file and gapps try aokp do a full wipe factory/data ,cache,dalvik and system reflash new rom new gapps reboot or better yet flash the new bootloader via twrp and use the power button to toggle to normal boot or change bootmode

Rooted Kindle boots to Recovery by default

I don't know why, but my Kindle fire always boots to TWRP instead of booting to the ROM first. I can boot to the ROM by just doing the boot options when the device turns on. It's a little annoying though. Is there anyway I can get my Kindle to boot to the ROM by default instead of TWRP. Thanks
Go to the boot options (FFF) and choose "reset boot mode".
if that doesn`t work use this to install the newest twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500935 when exiting recovery select reboot then system this will correct your bootmode...

[Q] - KFU Stuck installing TWRP - Pls help...

Hi Guys,
I have an original KF with 6.3.1 and here are the steps I've taken so far
I installed the drivers that came with KFU
In device Mgr in Win I can see Android ADB Interface
In KFU device was "Online"
I installed Root w Superuser
I attempted to install TWRP and am stuck at the part where it says...
"If you get stuck here a long time, check the ADB drivers.." and then "Do not unplug Kindle if stuck here..."
The KF is on the screen w a Blue Fire logo and says "Press power for boot menu"
I am leaving it as is until one of you kind souls can help me out...
Nothing ever is as simple as I think it should be...
Power off power on if it doesn't go to stock is, boots static to same screen or boots to black screen. Hold the power for 30 seconds then power on when you see the white kindle blue fire quickly depress the power button a few times till you get a boot menu. Select either normal boot or reset Bootmode while Will take you to the stock is or boot to black screen. If it boots to black screen repeat process of holding power button 30 second and this time select recovery if it boots to recovery you can mount your sdcard and transfer a rom.zip and gapps.zip , unmount, wipe everything except your sdcard/external storage. Then select install flash rom.zip, flash gapps.zip select reboot then system if prompted or reboot system. If none of this is good boots to black screen or fails to boot to recovery your shell is missing or broken and no recovery was installed. Then purchase a factory cable that will force it into fastboot and use kfu to send twrp to the device and use the above instructions to replace your damaged system. I know sorry slot to swallow your biggest jeopardy right now it the battery dying power it off with a 30 second hold if it will be some time before you get to it or leave it plugged it to the stock wall charger off is the best bet "IF" it is indeed off. Good luck.

[Q] How Long To Flash ROM

I finally got my KF to install TWRP and flash the Stock KF ROM. My question is, how long does it normally sit at "Verifying partition size..." it has been about 10 minutes so far.
Waited until the option to REBOOT displayed, and clicked it. Now it comes up with the KINDLE stock recovery loop........ press power button to continue. I press it and it just comes back. I have tried KFU and Unbrick utilites, no luck! Options???

If you can get back into TWRP I would recommend mounting sdcard and putting a different ROM on the sdcard and trying again.

(STUCK) Kindle goes into "fastboot mode" screen even when entering recovery

Yesterday was my first time rooting a Kindle Fire, and the root process went very smoothly when I followed this guide which uses saferoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire/development/how-to-kindle-fire-1-update-6-3-3-t2814955
While I made use of this guide for flashing FFF and TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54124313&postcount=3
After successfully rooting it, I wanted to try the OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader, since I read the comments and saw it would be good to try it out. After flashing the bootloader (otterx-u-boot_v2.05), the kindle kept rebooting showing the logo and the option to 'press power to enter boot menu'. I thought this was normal so I didn't mind it. (During this time, I could still enter recovery.) I proceeded to Step 2 which was flashing TWRP for OtterX (I downloaded zip-otterx-twrp-2.8.2.0-recovery.zip and installed it using the previous TWRP I flashed: openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img).
I wasn't able to remember what I did next, but I know I was already having issues. I was getting anxious and sleepy at the same time, I remember exploring the boot menu and foolishly/stupidly tried the EMMC Corruption Fix, without even trying to research about it beforehand, so now I'm stuck at the "fastboot mode" screen (I've attached a photo of the screen). Whenever I turn on the device, it shows the kindle fire logo and the option to enter boot menu. If I let it be for a while, it goes into the "fastboot mode" screen, the same thing happens when I try to choose "continue boot" or "recovery boot". Windows doesn't recognize it anymore whenever I try to connect it too (I'm using Windows 8.1 by the way.)
Please help, I've tried reading about how I could restore the kindle to the state it used to be after I rooted it, but no luck, I couldn't find anyone encountering the same problem as me since I think I'm the only one stupid enough to apply that EMMC corruption fix without knowing or reading what it actually does. Thanks in advance to anyone who could help.
Try
Download adb/fastboot files, if you have not yet.
Power off Kindle
In command prompt
Run command to flash recovery
Power on kindle
See [Video] Flashing TWRP in OtterX bootloader
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your reply. I tried it as soon as I woke up. I found out that the problem was the driver, I reinstalled it and flashed the recovery using the fastboot command.
