Hey, so I have two Kindle fire hd 7's and a couple years back I rooted both of them and hadn't used them in a few months. About a year ago I needed to use them because my primary device is not rooted. So I took them out and instantly got tons of Google error messages because they had not been updated in about 2 years so I went on my computer to reset and get the newest version of cm and somehow I ended up deleting twrp and cm 12 and now it will turn on but it's just the Kindle fire logo, so that's what happened to the first one. With the second one I tried to update cm and twrp. And it worked but then I think I tried to reboot to recovery from twrp and now my Kindle is stick in a twrp bootloop. I want o save these devices if possible. Is there a way to get twrp and cm back on the first one even though it's not recognized by my computer, or should I just toss it? And with the second one it is recognized by my computer I can also get it to fastboot mode. Is there anyway I can uninstall then reinstall twrp without the bootloop happening again? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Okay so I've had my Kindle Fire rooted with TWRP and FFF for a while now. I was using TWRP 2.0 and figured I needed to update it, so I ran KFU v 0.9.6 and chose to install the latest TWRP. Unfortunately it didn't do what I hoped for. Instead it got me stuck in fastboot mode. Now whenever I turn on my Kindle I just see the FFF logo, and I am unable to load TWRP or do anything else (in fact TWRP might not even be there anymore because I'm pretty sure KFU deleted it when I chose to install the latest version). When I plug my Kindle into my PC Windows will recognize it as an Android Phone, however, ADB and KFU do not recognize it. I have been stuck in fastboot mode at least three times before, so I tried doing what has worked in the past which is to load up KFU and change the bootmode to normal. It didn't work so I kept trying...then I tried reinstalling the drivers...still nothing. I have also tried the Kindle Unbrick program which didn't help. Whenever I type the command "adb devices" it shows no devices attatched. I have tried pretty much everything else I could find on the internet and read through a countless number of threads which were of no help at all. By the way I have read about factory cables, but I don't have the money for one so I'm hoping there is another way to get past this mess. So if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this please help me out. Thanks.
What ROM were you using before you decided to update TWRP?

I had just switched back to the stock ROM 6.3.1
Nevermind I was able to get it out of fastboot using firekit. I guess my problem was just Windows and non working drivers. But hey I would still appreciate some help on properly installing the latest TWRP and FFF preferably with Linux.
I'm rooting a kindle, and some weird things happened while I was rooting it, problems with rooting on Windows 8, But now that I have TWRP and FIREFIREFIRE installed, it won't let me boot to system. It flashes on and off of the shiny kindle Fire screen, then boots to TWRP. KFU says it is in Boot STatus 0x5003. Any help?

You're in the recovery boot mode. Change it to normal boot mode using kfu.

Hello, sorry to bump an old thread, but when I tried to boot into normal boot mode, it tells me "The system cannot find the file specified." I have been stuck in this TWRP recovery mode for so long. Even when I get into Normal Boot mode, how do I get JellyBean installed so it loads that ROM? I have the Jellybean ROM files on the Kindle, which I can access via TWRP, but don't know how to install. HELP!!!
Well, right now I did a factory reset of the Kindle and I was able to get the KF back to it's defaults. I copied the Jellybean .zip file and gapps Jellybean .zip file to the root of the KF. I booted into Recovery Mode and I was finally able to see both .zip files when I clicked on Install. I thought I could do the Permanent Root now that I did the factory reset, but once I ran it under KFU, it would go through the process to install TWRP and then boot the KF into TWRP, but it doesn't look like it completed the root. How do I complete it?
In the meantime, I had went into Recovery Mode, went to Install and currently loading Jellybean onto the KF. I'm currently stuck at Verifiying partition sizes and it's been sitting there for a few minutes. How long does it take before it's updated to JB?
System Only boots to TWRP and KFU will not see kindle
I have a Kindle Fire 1... Not the HD when I got it in Dec of 2011 I got some help to get TWRP and CM7 Installed on it, and it worked great until a couple of days ago and now there is no help in the kindle fire room anymore so I was wondering if there is someone out there who would be willing to help me to get this to work again either through teamviewer or a Chat of some type, Gtalk, IRC anything at this point to get this to work again.
I have tried everything from a Hard reset, and KFU will not see it and I even tried a unbricking tool and that cannot find it either. Please help me out.
Thanks

Stuck booting into TWRP
Hello Forum Lords, I hope that I found the proper thread for my problem.
I was simply trying to install Cyanogemod 9 on my wifes replacement KF1 after the first KF1 suffered some sore of hardware malfunction and would no longer take a charge. Somehow, somewhere I went horribly wrong this time around. I got stuck at the KF1 logo and eventually I got it to boot, but only to recovery.
My predicament is this: My KF1 is stuck booting into TWRP. Device manager on Win Vista recognizes the KF1 as Android Composite ADB Interface. When I try to use the KFU to boot the device into Normal Mode it says "cannot find the drive specified".
At the KFU starting menu, it says ADB Status: Online, Boot Status: 0x5003.
My ultimate goal is to get this thing running Cyanogenmod again. I am painfully noob at all of this. Please speak as you would to an escaped chimp who will not let go of the keyboard and mouse.
Thank you, anybody
Hey Everyone,
I have been using these forums for the last year and a half and It has helped me a whole bunch to successfully root all of the android devices my family has. I have however ran into a problem with a 1st gen Kindle Fire. It is stuck at the orange and white kindle fire logo. So a little background, I have rooted this Kindle in the past and succeeded in flashing Cyanogenmod's jb. I changed it back to the old Kindle interface so that my sisters can use it for reading but they wanted to use it for games. I decided that I should just change it back to jb since I would have to go through the trouble of flashing google play. Now, here's when things go wrong.
I started by using KFU 0.9.6 since I was lazy and didn't want to go through my old method. I granted SU and also installed TWRP and FireFireFire. now, I found a rom by Cyanogenmod cm10.1.3otter and decided to flash it onto my device. Everything went fine but it wouldn't boot past the Cyanogenmod boot screen. So I put another rom on (cm10.1.2) and flashed that. It worked and i started using it under the assumption there was nothing wrong. I later discovered when entering the internet password that my keyboard was not working and nothing would allow it to work. I then decided that I would get the kindle rom back on and factory reset and wipe the device. When I flashed the Kindle rom and restarted it, It got stuck and would not boot past the Orange and white kindle fire logo. After 2 full charges and 48 hours, it is still stuck. I tried to check if the kindle showed up under ADB devices and it does but when I run adb shell(for one of the guides) it comes up with "no such file or directory." When I run KFU, adb is online but boot status is unknown. When I try to run any of the tools in KFU, waiting for device is shown and does not go away despite disconnecting and reconnecting/ power on and off.
I have been looking nonstop for the past two days without any help. I have tried to follow many of the guides online, but I never succeed. Can someone please help me solve this problem, I am completely stuck.

You must enable adb on cm10 for one and the driver has to be modified for the pc to detect it due to pid and vid changes in cm10.

I am aware of that however, I cannot boot to cm10. If i could boot to cm10, I would know what to do but right now I am still stuck at the kindle fire logo.
I was trying to install CM 12.1 to my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and I believe it is bricked. I feel as if there is an easy fix but I have been trying for 2 month to no avail. So I finally decided to make an account to try to fix it. So I was using a tutorial to root my Kindle Fire, (I'm a new user so I can't post outside links yet) and everything was going fine until it would only boot into the blue Kindle Fire logo. After about a month I figured out that it was just my terrible, broken volume buttons, and I eventually booted my device into TWRP. From there, I tried to add the CM 12.1 to the Kindle, but it wouldn't recognize my device so I couldn't get into the device to add the files. So I just backed up my OS, and tried to boot into my recovery. I read somewhere that it is a big no-no. Who knows? Anyways, it booted into a normal Kindle Fire logo, just stuck. I did get my device into fastboot, but it won't recognize the device. Every time I try to use any recovery tool, KFHD SRT in specific, it just says no device found. I've been messing with drivers for ages. I've tried using the Amazon driver installer, tried using Android_winusb.inf (I don't even know if I was supposed to do that) and somehow every time I'd uninstall the driver, it would re-install as Android ADB Interface, and wouldn't be recognized by anything. Not ADB, or any recovery. Any help please? Sorry if this was posted in the wrong section, but please, someone just help me get my device running in CM 12.1 or any CM.
Hey guys,
tech noob here, so please be kind with me. 2 weeks ago i bought a fire phone and successfully flashed CM 11 on the phone using this method reddit[dot]com/r/firephone/comments/4e3edh/how_to_install_cyanogenmod_or_slimkatfire_nexus/
So a few days ago i bought another fire phone and wanted to flash it too with the above method. This time it was an unused showroom device. I removed the demo mode and could also get root with king root. I also could install safestrap but i get a black screen when i try to boot into recovery mode. I uninstalled safestrap again but couldnt boot to stock recovery either. I guess the problem is, that i need to update my device which still has Fire OS 3.6. Here is the strange part: If i check via Wifi, the phone does not find any new updates. I then downloaded the new OS manually to the phone storage and the phone then recognizes the new update. But when the phone is rebooting to install it, i'am stuck on the amazon logo (I waited 1 hour). I then did a soft reset and the phone went back to the old Fire OS. Why am i unable to get into recovery or updating the fire phone? Is the demo phone locked? It had a sim lock but i also received a code to unlock the sim lock so i can use any provider. Please help me, because i want to get to CM 11 with this phone too.
Thanks for the help.
