I have read around and have not found anything, My kinidle is bricked and i want to flash a backup i made with twrp is it possible to do from my computer? Could i just flash the stock rom with adb somehow?
you have to unbrick it and reinstall twrp
what exactly is your problem - explain as close as you can
what have you done ?
fff / twrp installed ?
computer os/bit
status of kf ?
the kindle will just boot to the fff screen i had twrp installed but it wouldnt boot into it. Windows vista 32 bit. it just sits at the fff screen I tried to switch fastboot mode but it would not do anything.
how did you do the fastboot command - manually via command line or with kfu ?
ok - i think you have to wait 5min for next reply
if kfu select option 1 and bootmode normal
if manually do "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000"
if it says <waiting for device> simply power the kf off by holding pwr button for ~20sec
then power on again - the command should resume and finish
restart again and you'r done
I tried it through kfu I tried it and it did nothing
open a elevated command prompt and cd to the tools directory of kfu (eg c:\kfu\tools) - then isue the command above and follow the procedure

I just overall screwed up big time with this thing. I rooted 6.2.1, then uninstalled/froze a bunch of the stock apps (including the default Kindle launcher, as I had Go Launcher installed).
I then decided I wanted to restore to the factory default settings, as I wanted to use Amazon prime, among other things. I went into settings and hit the "restore to factory defaults button" (which was stupid, I know). Unsurprisingly, this resulted in Kindle Fire bootloops.
Trying to fix this, I used the KindleFireTool to install the most recent TWRP...which didn't work at all. It would just stay on the yellow triangle screen. Now, things have gotten even worse, though I don't know why. Whenever I plug the fire into the computer, it goes into TWRP bootloops!
For the brief few seconds that the Fire is on when plugged into my computer, the driver isn't recognized at all (shows up as "kindle" with a triangle next to it in device manager).
I know what I did was dumb, but even so, any help would be hugely appreciated.
YES YES YES!!!! OK HERES HOW I DID IT TO FIX THE BOOTLOOP OF TWRP
First you must download Kindle Fire Utility and extract it to your desktop
then go to command prompt or cmd then type in the location of the folder heres mine for example: C:\Users\Madaran\Desktop\Kindle Fire Utility\tools
then type in fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
For me it said waiting for device all I did is rebooted the device and it worked
as the device reboot it will still go back to TWRP now type this in the command prompt
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
then it should reboot again and ITS FIXED
----------------------------------
I used this thread to fix it.

Thank you so much! I'll post results when I get the opportunity.
Well it didn't work...the thing isn't connecting to the computer properly. I think it's a goner.
Mine didn't connect also but it still worked. You don't need the device to be connected just plug it in and put it in the TWRP recover mode. Then do the steps again.
1.Download Kindle Fire Utility
2.Extract it to desktop.
3.You can't connect it while its in FastBoot mode so open up CMD or Command Prompt.
4.Again locate the folder and type it in the CMD for example I typed:
"cd C:\Users\Madaran\Desktop\Kindle Fire Utility\tools"
5.Then type this in "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000"
6.It should say waiting for device. Go to TWRP and hit reboot system.
7.It should work now and while waiting for your Kindle to boot up, the power button should be orange.
8.When it turned orange I immediately typed this in the CMD or Command Prompt
"fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000" so it wouldn't boot to the TWRP recovery menu.
9.It should reboot again and load up your CyanogenMod 7
10. If it work hit the thanks button please.
I did all of that up until step 6. My device won't allow me to reboot. When it's plugged in via USB, it boots up, dies within 20 seconds, then boots again. I can't break the cycle, and it just says waiting for device on and on...

This tutorial is by Jayceooi I just added some more stuff to it.
The reason your TWRP is boot looping is its because, you installed a file or zip that cause for your system to corrupt or break. It can also be a file that is in the system that you deleted and rebooted your Kindle to save changes.

Thats a great simple guide. One thing I want to add is that on my Windows 7 box, after I installed TWRP, the Kindle started being detected as "kindle" in lowercase and the drivers would not reinstall correctly, and if I manually installed them, the device would not start. I fixed this issue by doing standard USB device troubleshooting on Windows 7.
Open the Device Manager.
Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
Locate all the USB Root Hubs and uninstall them by right clicking and selecting "Uninstall".
Do the same for all the controllers listed afterwards. Basically remove the USB Root Hubs first, then all the controllers listed so everything under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers is gone.
Reboot the machine and wait for the controllers and hubs to reinstall.
Then reconnect the kindle and hopefully the drivers will install correctly and allow ADB to connect.

Or one can just use firekit if they are new to this kind of thing and it works a lot like the kindle fire utility. Here is the link to my guide and the link for kindle fire kit is in there. I must warn those of you that are not on windows that this is a windows only program so those of you running different OS on their pc should either use this thread or my guide as well... Very nice thorough tutorial by the way!

Hey:
I am having this bootloop problem but when I use KFU 9.2 to get to normal the program just hangs with a white blinking cursor. Should I just wait or do I need an alternate solution. I have TWRP installed, I made a backup of my stock KF but when I crashed it and attempted to restore from TWRP there was no backed-up file to use.
I have downloaded the KF 6.2.1 upgrade using KFU but unsure how to install it at this point.
Thanks
maybe this one will solve your bootloop:

sirmavs,
I tried your last method and everything went fine until step 8. The light never turned orange and now I'm stuck on the Yellow Triangle.
EDIT:
At this point I opened up the Fire Utility.
I changed the bootmode to normal from there and CM7 rebooted fine.
I really do not understand why FireFireFire hasn't been updated to fix this?

Hi all,
I am currently playing around a bit with my KF and used in the beginning KFU to root with Burrito3. TWRP is functioning + CM9 already installed. BUT now, where I want to use Ravens Kernel with SDK and entering the commands he proposed for the beginning for fastboot, my KF reboots and stops in yellow triangel.
used command:
adb shell
su
idme bootmode 4002
reboot
How to go back to normal boot mode is o.k. and working, but I could no where find what to do/the reason might be, that my KF stops in triangle and how to sort it out. Drivers manually installed with SDK incl. adaption of ini and inf.
Any suggestion?
Thanks and regards

adb commands don't work in fastboot - only fastboot commands
that is what I tried, because I checked if the device is in fastboot and yes it is shown, but if I follow the next command:
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot bootnew.img or
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot cm9bootnew.img
which I placed on the internal sdcard, I get the feedback of the system:
cannot load 'xxxxbootnew.img'
any help with that?

They need to be in the tools folder where you launcher adb from.

I meant fast boot commands, my bad.
as far as i know these commands are to load a image from your computer
would try to do the img files in the same folder as fastboot.exe and retry
thanks very much for your help, after putting the img files into the folder where the fastboot.exe is, all went well.
very cool and now I learned a bit more regarding ADB stuff
glad to help ...

I have rooted a few phones and even two kindle fires but I messed up my fathers.. Rooting went fine, I was able to install the google framework and vending.apk.
On reboot kindle fire logo kept repeating.
Where I think I went wrong wrong was changing the permissions on vending.apk I might have changed permission on system/apps.. I ran the unbrick application but didn't know what the right issue so I ended up going a little hog wild trying "stuck at logo", "recovery" and "modded system/application"
now it only boots to press power for recovery page.
It is correct that I need to get adb shell working to have a shot here? I decided (a little to late) to slow it down but the shell didn't seem to be working at the point I stopped..
the kf is in fastboot mode - adb ist'n working in this mode
what tells your device manager? it should be "android adb interface" under "android phones" - if not update your drivers
then you can issue:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
if it says <waiting for device> to the first command let the command open and power off the kf by holding pwr button ~20sec - power on again - the command should be picked up and finished - pwr off/on again
Thanks... Will try this in a few hours when I get home
Thanks... After that I was able to get the ADB shell and find the issue with my permissions...

I just did a restore setting in the CM7 option after that I cannot boot into the CM7 but only the TWRP...
Can anyone tell me how to reinstall the TWRP...
I tried to use the kindle fire utility to re-install it, however it doesn't connect...
always shows offline..
please help
thanks
Did you restore bootloader, recovery and system from your backup using TWRP? If so you should have TWRP installed.
Please provide detail info what you have done to give further help.
You may need to update your USB diver to get adb working and to be able to install recovery software.

i think you said boot to recovery in cm7 - now you'r in a recovery bootloop - means it boots allways to recovery by itself - right ?
if so (if it is booted to twrp) use kfu option1 - bootmode normal
or issue manually:
adb shell idme bootmode 4000
adb reboot
an other method is to use fastboot commands:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot
in the case it says <waiting for device> power it off by holding the pwr button for ~20sec till it turns of - pwr on again - the command should resume and finish
a second pwr off/on will bring you back to normal
if commands don't work check your drivers:
