My kindle fire is rooted by using BurritoRoot3 method,with firefirefire bootloader and CWR recovery installed.
this morning,my kindle fire automatically rebooted,then stuck at CWR recovery interface,i realized it may related with a new ota update,so i shutdown kindle fire and power on,it reboot into recovery as long as it going into the os.
now i can boot into the recovery but cannot into the os,what should i do ?

I think I read somewhere that CWM stops the ota from installing so it starts bootlooping. Twrp would let the update go through but if it did, you would lose root anyway. Maybe using CWm you could install the 6.3 pre-rooted stock rom
I was having the same issue with twrp and this upgrade. To get out of the bootloop I used adb:
adb shell
idme bootmode 4000
reboot
It Didn't install the update but got me the kindle back. I then used eldarerathis rooted 6.3 image:

My kindle did the same thing it's because the OTA update doesn't work right with TWRP. Take a look at my thread. Basically you need to download the update, rename it update.zip put it in the root directory of the kindle, and then power up the kindle it will go into TWRP and click on the update/flash function (not sure what it's called off the top of my head right now) and let it do it's thing and you will be back to normal.
Alternatively if you don't feel like re-rooting your device, download this version and update it using the instructions above.
Thank you! This worked perfectly.

Do you have to wipe. Any "cache"? Or Factory reset...Or do you only do that if you are going to a different ROM. ?

Do I have to install cwmtouch also if all I want to add is kinfauns fff1.3 bootloader, to change the logo and keep TWRP?. I tried installing just kinfauns fff1.3 bootloader, but can not gain SU.

You can mix and match whatever bootloader/recovery combination you want. They are on separate partitions, so flashing one does not affect the other.
The only caveat is that you must have TWRP installed before changing the bootloader because the distribution image for TWRP is a boot image that actually boots up and flashes both the recovery and bootloader partitions on its own. That boot image contains version 1.0 of FFF, so you must then overwrite it with whatever bootloader you want.
As a side note, the install process for TWRP is unintuitive and may be confusing for new users to have to use the "fastboot boot" instead of the "fastboot flash recovery" command. I've gone back and forth with CWMR and TWRP several times and it's annoying to have to flash the bootloader over and over again in the process. To get around that, I've extracted just the recovery image from the TWRP distribution and have been using that image instead. I've thought about posting it somewhere, but I didn't want to piss off the developers. Maybe if there's some demand for it, I'll just upload it somewhere to see if anybody comes screaming at me... or maybe just write a how-to for those interested in extracting it for themselves.
I've packaged it in my new method, I just need time to sit down n rewrite the install directions and update my post. I've also compiled a blue cwm of sbloods version 1.1 which will also be in the updated method.
but yup, what kinfaun said lol

Ok. Now, for the the dumb question of the day. I do have TWRP installed, I tried using the instructions on the [gscript][march11]install cwm recovery+bootloader of your choice (no fastboot) thread, but keep getting error with SU.

You might want to wait a day or two for everyone to finish banging away at the 6.3 update. I got one of the $139 refurbs and it came today. Trying to root it, I'm running into SU/permission issues too. Something changed but everyone just don't know what yet. From what I can tell, this is fairly standard every time Amazon releases an update.
Got it installed. Thanks to all, for all the info. Learning, all this is new to me.
I saw a post like this before but I can't find it so sorry for making a new thread anyway,do you need to install fire fire fire in order to install cwm.

Read the kindle fire for beginners guide up top, it'll allow you to understand the relationship between FFF and CWM. Then it'll be clear what your answer is.
There are so many pseudo bricks on here because the rooting process is WAY too easy, so most android newbs run headfirst into rooting and screwing everything up without understanding what they're doing and why they're doing it.
Gone are the old nexus one rooting days where it was only performed through adb/fastboot and involved sanding down your battery plus pulling/pushing in SD card. None of this one click crap that never weeds out the mis, under, or non-informed.
To my understanding after reading, fire fire fire is a bootloader that goes into fastboot mode for 5 seconds,wich means I don't need fire fire fire and cwmr.All I need is CWMR, correct.
Thanks

and it offers the possibility to boot to recovery at startup by repeatently pressing the power button till it gets orange
how do you get to recovery if your system is failing ?

both !!!
the custom bootloader (fff) and a recovery (cwm or twrp)

Ok but last time I installed twrp all I had to do is click install twrp and I didn't need to install fff first.can I do the same with CWMR...does KFU automatically install fff when you click install twrp or cwmr.
twrp and cwm use different installation methods:
if you install twrp then it installs fff 1.0 as integrated part of the installation package
if you want the newest fff with twrp then you have to install it additionally again afterwards
if you use cwm then cwm will be pushed to the recovery partition - not more
therefore if you want to use cwm you have to install both fff & cwm
in kfu this would be: "install newest fff" and "install cmw"

Hi,
I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 with 7.2.2. In the video you flash kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img which fits to the version of your installed Firmware.
Which files must I flash to avoid bricking my Kindle. And where can I get it if I have to use another img-file
Thanks

The freedom boot file is just a boot.img file not a system.img. A boot.img is the file that boots the system. So it will not change your system. If you want to update the device to 7.4.6 and have 2nd bootloader and twrp installed just search for a stock 7.4.6 rom and flash it in twrp

When using FireFlash you flash a freedom boot.img and TWRP. This can only be done from stock. After stock, you need a zip with the necessary files in it. This is something that gets buy newer folks.
That said, I have seen a lot of complaints about random un-fixable shutdowns all over. Even a system restore and letting Amazon push OTA updates is not fixing it. Probably some hardware or software issue. If it were me, I would see what Amazon would do for warranty.
Edit: Oops, I meant to quote Elgari. Sorry about that.
Thanks! It helped a lot !
Great videos.They help me understand what I have been reading about for a week make sense.
Not sure what to do?
OK, My kindle rooted fine, I got TWRP and 2nd bootloader to installed and did a backup, downloaded cm11 and gapps into my download folder,got into TWRP and did a wipe added zip files hit install, everything was going good and about 4 minutes into the install I got a message on the screen saying that said "system UI has stopped" then the screen went black. I waited a few minutes hit the power button and now I'm get a "cyanogenmod account has stopped"

Hello
I followed your video step by step and got CM 11.0 installed. But I can't get Google Now to work. After opening Google app, it asks me to get Google Now. If I say yes, it asks me to add a Google account. After doing that, if I open the app again, the search bar opens. No option for Google Now. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello all.
Over the past few days, I have been attempting to install CyanogenMod on my LG G2, but I am currently stuck on getting TWRP to work properly. I have followed the steps (more than once) on the forum post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670), but it has yet to work. I either get the "fastboot" text screen (two lines), or (now) nothing more than a backlit screen. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.
Info on the device:
Rooted
Model: LG-D800 (10o)
If anything else is needed, please let me know. I'd like to get this working.

Basically all you do is:

Download Recovery:

Download from the Google Play Market:
>Flashify (for root users)
Open flashify,
Click on 'Recovery image' and look for the recovery you downloaded,
Click on the recovery file,
Hit flash,
Hit Reboot and it'll reboot you into TWRP
And you're done!

I have been having a weird issue flashing the latest trwp versions over stock recovery on my D800, resulting in me booting to fastboot. Oddly, if I flash cwm recovery it works. then from cwm recovery I flash the twrp zip and then I am set. No idea why and I have been able to duplicate it. shrug

Any chance you could communicate the method you used to do this, at some point? I've tried flashing CWM as well, but I've had the same outcome as with TWRP. Would be awesome to get Cyanogenmod on here finally.

Have you tried the app Flashify, once you are rooted?
Alternatiely, I have put the recovery.img file in the root of my sdcard and then did:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Another app called Freegee will install either CWM or TWRP on there for you.
