I did a restore using TWRP, I flashed back to stock root, no rom or anything. Restore went fine, but my device rebooted and started to do an update, I don't know what it was updating but I tried to stop it by turning it off. I shut it off, restarted and it continued to install an update, I got the KF splash screen. It finished and my KF loaded up fine, still have Burrito-Root and SU. But for some reason that Fire logo doesn't come up anymore, so I can't get into TWRP recovery? How did I lose recovery if I just restored a backup?
Do I have TWRP just need to fix something? Or do I have install TWRP all over again? If so, what's the easiest way to do that?
Thanks guys...
I would say using a gscript is probably the easiest way. Check out the dev section.

[Q] I put TWRP on my Kindle Fire to make a backup, after completing the backup I transferred it to my computer. How do I remove TWRP from showing up at boot and keep all my stuff on the device?
Thanks,

I assume you are talking about the Yellow Triangle? That is not TWRP... that is FireFireFire... and it is displayed every time you boot.
You don't uninstall it, you leave it.
There are ways to restore the factory boot and recovery partitions but I would have to ask why you would want to do this. If you removed twrp and firefirefire you wouldn't be able to restore your backup if you had a problem.
You can do that. Just flash stock 6.2.1 firmware from amazon site and firefirefire, twrp will be deleted.
Thanks for the help
I rooted my Kindle Fire the other day.
After root, I did a Factory Reset from within the Kindle Fire original firmware.
But now device only boots into TWRP. Pressing the power button (letting go while light is still green) does not allow device to boot into Stock Firmware. Device boots itself into TWRP
How do I get the Stock Firmware back?
Nevermind...
I use KFU to boot the device into Normal mode. Which seems to have resolved the issue. So sorry for the useless post.
So are you still rooted after factory reset and may i ask why you decided to factory reset.

try flash rom. install update.zip from sdcard. choose ROM from sub forum Kindle Development
I received my new Nexus 7 today (although I'll be sending it back for RMA replacement due to defective/blown speakers, but that's another discussion) and wanted to revert my Kindle Fire to stock to give to my parents. I had been previously running a vanilla build of CM9.
I downloaded Amazon's latest software update, renamed it update.zip, and copied it to my device. Using TWRP, I installed the update, wiped cache and dalvik. My Kindle rebooted (now without FireFireFire bootloader/recovery), however, once it starts I get multiple error messages as follows:
android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly
com.android.providers.calendar has stopped unexpectedly
My only options are to force quit. Still, even if I don't touch the device and let it be, it will reboot itself withing a minute or so. There must be something amiss with how I went back to stock.
Any help with getting the device back into some working form? Or am I out of luck?
Nevermind; i managed to get FireFireFire and TWRP back on. Now to look for an edited Amazon ROM or perhaps a jellybean/CM10 rom...
when flashing the stock rom from cm9, you should do a full wipe ( system, factory reset, cache, dalvik) in TWRP

Try to root it again with KFU, and then redownload and reflash the update. Or turn your kindle completely off and then, in KFU, press install TWRP, and then turn your Kindle back on, and see if it can get into fastboot and install TWRP. Then turn it off, open off KFU, and press install FFF. Now turn it back on, and see if it installs FFF. If so, then just redownload and reflash the update.zip
Or install GR9 Modaco.

managed to install FireFireFire and TWRP during the brief window before the device rebooted. and thanks for the suggestion of GR9 Modaco
So I am fairly new to rooting and didn't know that it's not a great idea to do an OTA update while you're rooted. So I did just that and when prompted to restart the phone, it did and loaded directly in to TWRP. I tried to just reboot from there and it kept going back to TWRP. So I tried to recovery from a backup, same thing, right back to TWRP. Also, I can't get into download mode. What do I do?

You need to first download the kdz and lg flash utility with drivers.
Install drivers
The factory reset deleting system, cache, internal sd.
Then shutdown your g2.
Start to downloaded mode connecting your g2
Flash kdz & voila... Done
I too bricked my phone before. My flashing stuck at 49%. Recovered using above method, all is well now
This works 1000%. I bet on it. Just remember to wipe the phone completely before flashing. You will return to stock with unrooted status in download mode. U will have your warranty back too

Yesterday I was normally on the cm11 nightlies, and decided to go back to 4.2.2 stock tmobile, just to update to kk . I loaded my stock backup, and all went fine. It downloaded an update, did not say what just system update and after that it restarted to twrp recovery. Tried rebooting to system, but all it does is boot back to twrp. What I saw is that it reverted back from 2.6.4 to 2.6.3 version. Flashed the 2.6.4 version from my folder, and the same happens. Tried restoring my backups, taking long but to no avail. Right now I have a bootloop to twrp and don't know what to do. My computer doesn't even recognize phone. Not even usb otg shows up.

There are threads in this very section that will explain what you have to do. Note, never take an ota with a custom recovery!
