i recieved a kindle fire for xmas yesterday (awesome wife ) and i have successfully rooted the device, installed cm7, and am loving it so far. im in a bit of an information overload though and thought maybe someone could help me out with something... everytime i restart the device it shows the yellow triangle before going into the cm7 boot animation. is there any way to bypass this and go straight to the boot animation??? which brings me to my second question. is there any way to replace the cm7 boot with the original kindle fire boot animation???? im sorry if these have been answered but i couldnt find then. thanks
The triangle is the recovery. Why are you rebooting your device often?
You should not need to reboot your device regular basis.
im not just didnt like it being there when i do

Without it being there then you would have no option to enter recovery mode, I suggest closing your eyes and counting to three when you reboot

I've never done this and couldn't find anything up to date online :/ I'm rooted and adb is working - I just need to know where to put the contents of update-wipeall.zip: 'META-INF' 'system' and 'boot.img' - also, I'm pretty sure I use TWRP to flash ROMs, please include how to open it in your answer
Thanks - you guys are so helpful!
This was 2 posts below yours are you blind?

Thanks!! No lol im not blind I just didn't know that would tell me how to install cm7 by the title.
Edit: Those instructions only tell me to copy the update.zip to sd card - what do I do with the 2 folders that came with the latest cm7?

You have to flash Fire Fire Fire and TWRP. The easiest way to install is using Kindle Fire Utility from developtment section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
When you flashed it you see a yellow tiangle when you boot your Kindle Fire. Press the Power button until Power LED turns orange. Now the Kindle Fire boots into TWRP and you can flash CM7.
I used kindle fire utility to install twrp already - I think it installed FireFireFire too since I've seen the yellow triangle screen already.. if I'm wrong let me know. If I'm right - how do I get back to the FireFireFire screen to do it?

Fire Fire Fire is a bootloader you can "see" it everytime you boot your Kindle Fire.
Ok I just rebooted my kf and I do have FireFireFire installed - i know update.zip goes in sdcard but what do I do with the two folders that came with cm7

what folders?
you don't extract update-wipeall.zip at all, leave it as it is, just copy it in your sdcard.
When KF boots up keep power button pressed till TWRP shows up. Perform a backup if you want, so you can revert to Stock. Otherwise click Install and locate update-wipeall.zip on your sdcard, click it and then click Flash.
Don't worry about those errors, just click Reboot system when everything finishes.
Don't keep the power button pressed, let it boot by itself.
Enjoy CM7!
I used kindle fire utility .9 to permanent root (which installed burritoroot) then used it to install TWRP which I'm guessing installed FireFireFire as well since I see the triangle when I boot. Thanks for the info I didn't know I wasn't supposed to unzip it - I'm about to try now, thanks!

Oh my my my, we have a newbie here. Yikes!!!!!! Read the TUTS. Also if you don't even know not to unzip the rom, you shouldn't being doing this kind of stuff. You might end up making a 200 dollar paper weight.
This is how we learn!

That volume control app is available in the market. Look for "Volume Control" by RubberBigPepper.
Hi Guys,
I know their is many post about this but I cant find any that are directed to my problem.
First I rooted my kindle using the KFU then installed TWRP. I then went ahead and flashed if with the Energy Rom all went well but the Kindle crashed alot so I decided to try one other Rom. I then installed the MIUI install went well but after restart I'm stuck at the yellow triangle with the flames on it.
When I try to connect KFU or Kindle fire unbrick both do not recognise my kindle. I noticed in the device manager when force shutdown of the kindle and restart the kindle will first be recognised, then gone from the list. I have tried the driver from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20855280&postcount=54 but still no luck.
Any help would be much appreciated.

urns out I was trying to rooting and installing on my kindle fire android 7 inch HD achieves root but when you try to install the apk TweezerMod gave me run and put the Kindle screen in red and there does not pass that I can do I have only my tablet 15 days ago help!!
This mod appears to be for the kf2 not the kfhd,
It sounds like you flashed an improper image of some sort, and your lucky you still get some life out of your kindle...
I would wager at this point you need a fastboot cable and to reflash your kindle, after you make a fast boot cable look at the restore tool thread in the android dev section for the kfhd 7

I wonder why we are so impetuous and threw ourselves(I included), without reading other's experiences, to do things that can potentially break our beloved devices?
One sees that adventure is adventure, but as well that with only a bit of patience reading the archive almost all the "casualties" could have been avoided....
My kfhd is on. because when I press the power button and turn on the device is displayed kfhd logo in orange and immediately placed the red screen and my pc does not detect when connected by USB cable manufactures. What I can do? Help me
That's the point, calm down and read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Start with the basics before doing something worse. Read from the beginning to the last (83th) commentary. Is the correct form of doing things.
But first of all, the necessary cable is not that of the Kindle, is a especially modified one named "factory"that has 5 volt on the middle contact(5 pins) of the micro-usb, unused in your "manufacturer" cable.
You can find that special cable here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20380015#post20380015
kindle fire hd 8.9 v8.3.1 help
i recently bought a kindle fire hd 8.9 v8.3.1, which i rooted and install go launcher ex successfully. after reading up on cm10.1 i went in pursuit of this mod. using KF first aide v4.1.87-beta i backed up my device then proceeded to installing the 2-bootloader and twrp 2.4.4.0 for KFHD 8.9. upon completion of the installation when my kindle rebooted there was no kindle fire logo in blue, only the normal logo boot up and then my screen turn red. i cant perform any function except to power on/off the device. when the device is off and pulled into my computer device manger displays my kindle till the screen turns red then it disappears. can any one help me with this problem as to reset or restore my kindle fire hd to default or factory settings this would be greatly appreciated .. thank you very much!
You did not reflash the boot loader, buy a fast boot cable, and restore the original os...this is now your only option...after doing that re read hash codes thread on cm10 especially taking note of the step 4.5

Fast boot cables do NOT work on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 nor are they needed.
Friend Might be a little more specific

If you have a factory cable which you can buy from SkOrPn, then you can use KFHD First Aide to recover your kindle. Just follow the steps, it's easy as 1,2,3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
I was trying to get my Kindle Fire HD 7, getting it ready to sell (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409435). But i've done something wrong, i have transfered the file to my Kindle, wipe everything expect sd. Afterwards i flashed the update 7.4.6 bin, and wipe the sd again. And rebooted my Kindle fire. And now its stuck on the Kindle Fire logo. HELP! I need fix this within the next 24 hours! I DO NOT have a fastboot cable either.
Does the logo ever turn blue? If it doesn't you will need a fastboot cable to fix.

No! it's just stuck on the orange logo. I dont have a fastboot cable, i'm selling this within the next 24 hours to someone. I need to get this fix ASAP!
Well unless you can make a fastboot cable with a soldering iron then your going to have some problems. I can try to see if you can get it into fastboot the way we do 8.9" models, but if you plug the device in and your PC doesn't detect a Tate device in the device manager then you will have to goto the fastboot cable method. If it does then try to quickly install the drivers in my signature. From there you would just need a command prompt and the fastboot command.

Yeah, alright. just waiting for you.
Well.... no effing clue whats happened.... it must've updated recently as no longer rooted or using golauncher... getting rather annoyed at the inability to access the internal storage via usb...
Windows brings up a massive message that when i googled it the fix was to apparently unplug the pc.... which resolved a few issues but still get the same issues with the kindle... which sucks.... managed to connect briefly with Linux but now it just seem to not acknowledge it at all....
I had what i thought were the latest drivers as i only installed them a couple of days ago.. (rediscovered scummvm!!!)
Any ideas what I can do? I want to re root and flash a totally new rom as the amazon one is truely awful
And which is the best root method for 7.4.6? If there is one....
Thanks again peeps!

You would probably benefit most by using KFFA to return to 7.2.3 then root, remove OTA updates and install GApps. This way when you go to install a custom ROM, you have a matching boot loader. In order to put a custom ROM on, you need to flash a 2nd boot loader and TWRP. All this is covered in great detail on here. If you have questions do ask.
