I am so stuck. I can boot my fire into the twrp system. However, when ever i try to update or flash anything it says that my sdcard cannot mount. Not sure what to try next. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Are you connected via USB? The computer might have the sdcard mounted.

I am connected on the computer, but it wont mount it so that I can navigate the files. I can fastboot and adb the kindle. When I adb push the files needed to restore, it gives me an error on the recovery saying that it cannot mount /sdcard/update.zip

Here are some of the problems I've run into:
No shell access unless I'm in CWR.
Can't flash an update.zip, fails to mount the sdcard.
Can't restore to stock using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378063 just flashes update failed on the screen for a split second.
Can't flash a system.img, too large, at least the one I was sent in a PM.
If I reboot, anything I pushed is wiped by time I'm back in recovery.
If I try to run zergrush it says "/sbin/sh: ./zergRush: not found"
Cannot run idme bootmode from recovery, I can do it in fastboot though with a factory cable:
# idme bootmode 0x5001
idme bootmode 0x5001
/sbin/sh: idme: not found
ATM I have CWR and FireFireFire installed.
I originally messed up my "/system/bin" and "/system/framework" permissions by merging a folder over them. I went and changed the permissions back to what they were and root explorer force closed.
When I would try to launch apps it would just give a force close error with some random symbols text, went to shutdown and wouldn't allow me to press shutdown, it was just a grey button with no action, So I hard rebooted.
My KF did not boot back into Android the screen with "Your Kindle has detected a problem and must clear App storage..." etc came up and I figured eh I'll just have to reroot. It wiped, lost my root, lost shell access, except for the first few seconds when booting up, but it would loop back to that screen and I would have no access.
Now I have a factory cable and do not know how to fix my problem.
This guy seems to have a similar problem to me from "[HOW TO] Unbricking/Restoring your Kindle Fire" thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20145762&postcount=308
Our problem seems to be beyond the scope of that thread where our device is essentially wiped with no way to fix our devices except with outside files.
Any help would be appreciated.
Power off completely, plug factory cable into computer then kf. Doing so will automatically start the device, but with the factory cable it will be in fastboot

I Know how to get into fastboot, I was fully stock and rooted before my brick. I added CWR and FFF afterwards using fastboot.
I don't have a small enough system.img to flash, assuming that would fix my problem.
Whoops I had just woken up from a nap and my head wasn't screwed on right
Very strange that you can't mount the sdcard. Are you using my clockwork that I provided in the CM7 rom thread?
Try adb shell
Mount sdcard
And then see if you can install an update?

HELP
Im stuck at TWRP and my bootmode is 0x5001. Can anybody help?
Hi everybody. I was trying to install cyanogenmod7 on my rooted kindle fire. I got halfway through the process i rebooted the kindle fire, it started to load clockwork i got the message cwm-based recovery v 5.0.2.7. Apply update from sdcard. Then all of a sudden i receive a message saying: Install from sdcard, finding update package, opening update package,but got error saying can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) installation aborted. Now when i turn on the kindle fire i just get the same message. Can't access nothing at all. Just stuck on that message. I was hoping that there might be a way to fix this problem.thank you.
Is the name of the ROM file called update.zip saved at /sdcard?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
no it is just sdcard/update.zip
At the given state of your KF, can you see your KF via adb command i.e. adb devices.
If you are able to see your device, then the fisrt test I would receommend to copy the update.zip from your PC to the KF via adb push command i.e.
adb push x:\update.zip /sdcard were x: is your PC drive where the ROM resides.
Then reboot your KF either via the power switch or adb command.
See if the recovery boot will recognize the ROM or not.
If not, I will recommend to chnage your recovery startup program to FireFireFire. You may search the original thread of inatlling FIREFIREFIRE to your KF instead of the one you have now.

I just unlocked/rooted my Nexus 7. I downloaded CleanROM3.0, but before I wanted to flash it, I wiped everything. Now there is No Rom installed and my Clean ROM file is gone. I want to put it back on my device through TWRP but the mount to my PC is not working. I can see it in device manager, but it's unknown and no file explorer opens up for it. How can I get the file back on it??? Help please. Is there a driver I'm missing for it to mount properly in TWRP?

Put the ROM zip file in your Android SDK/platform-tools directory on your computer. Open a command prompt window, change directories to your Android SDK/platform-tools location (for me that's: cd sdk/platform-tools) and type in:
Code:
adb push <name of ROM zip> /sdcard
Wait about 30-60 seconds until it's done, then flash your ROM. It'll be on the root of your internal storage (/sdcard).
I think, you have to flash a factory image by using adb.

I'm in my bootloader and hooked up the USB cable. Trying to use adb, but the device is not showing up when trying to pull up the list of ADB devices. Starting to get worried now. Can't mount in TWRP, and now it can't find the device in my ADB. It found the device just fine when I had it booted up before while I was doing the unlock/root process.

You need to use fastboot commands to flash .img files via the bootloader. Try typing in:
Code:
fastboot devices

I am having the same problem, but with a Kindle Fire 2. When I wiped, it took out my new Rom, and I cannot mount in TWRP...
And, it won't boot the stock ROM. To make matters worse, I cannot see the device in ADB!

You should ask in the kindle fire 2 forums as some advice may be hardware specific.
Today, I wanted to reinstall the ROM on my Google nexus 4, and my phone was previously rooted months ago (with Google_Nexus_4_ToolKit_v2.0.0) and was installed with AOKP custom ROM. So I booted into the recovery mode, and accidentally I formatted the system, the cache, the data, etc. I thought when I connect the phone (in recovery mode) to my PC, the PC should recognize my phone and display it as a USB drive in my computer.
However, I was so wrong. With the right driver, the phone is recognized by my PC (as shown in device manager), but it won't show up as a USB drive. So I cannot put in any ROM/gapps file into the phone, I tried to use adb push to load the ROM/gapps into the phone, but I keep getting the "Read-only file system" error. I found the /storage/sdcard0/ can receive the pushed files, but in recovery mode, I cannot select these files for install.
I am now stuck in the recovery mode and cannot do anything. I need you guys help. How can I install a ROM now? thanks a million!!!!
Adb can only be used when your device is booted on android. If not then go to the boot loader and use fastboot.

Of course you are able to use ADB in recovery mode. Have you tried
Code:
adb push nameoftherom.zip /sdcard/
or if you are using a recovery where you are able to use adb sideload
Code:
adb sideload nameoftherom.zip
Then it should work. Or try mounting the usb in mounts/storage -> mount usb storage

Of course, it should work if the drivers are installed properly
Like others said use adb push to put a file on the device and then you can flash it with recovery.
If you don't have adb you can get it either by downloading android SDK or just downloading adb did

Try flashing back to stock, then just root and put your ROM back on, I've had to do it once before

Woke up one morning to see my phone stuck at the PA boot animation. Was able to get to recovery, but nothing was mounting. /system, /data, /sdcard, /cache, etc. None of them would mount. USB debugging was not on when I had access to the settings, so trying adb sideload does not work. I used one of the toolkits here on XDA and tried to adb sideload, but all I got was "flash write failure".
Any suggestions?

ADB sideload is not dependant on any setting in the developer section when in recovery... If in TWRP go to Advanced, ADB Sideload and connect USB and use adb devices to see if you have a sideload device listed.
Flash write failure is bad, try reflashing stock images... it is possible your emmc died for some reason, determining that specifically is beyond my expertise as there is a way to rebuild the partitions manually, I just don't know how to do it.
