Returning kindle fire to Amazon - Kindle Fire General

I had a problem with my kindle fire and I have to return it to them. I have 6.3 and TWRP. I'm just wondering if the only thing I need to do is unroot and uninstall TWRP? I have in the past installed cm7 and cm9.

Just wipe everything, go back to stock, uninstall TWRP, and unroot

I read in another thread that I could download the 6.3 update again, change the .bin to .zip and install that and it should put me back to orginal stock?

[UNROOT]The easiest unrooting method

I tested this out with both the transformer and slider. No need to do anything complicated.
ASSUMPTION:
You have CWM installed.
INSTRUCTION:
(1) Download the latest firmware from asus website.http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=Eee%20Pad%20Transformer%20TF101&os=32
(2) Unzip it. Inside, you should find another zip file. Place that zip file on your micro sdcard.
(3) Plug in your micro sdcard. Go into CWM.
(4) Wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe davik cache.
(5) Flash in the zip file you just got from the asus website.
(6) Once restarted, you will be back on non-rooted stock rom and stock recovery.
Yeah eyesoftsys posted the same thing a while back

I don't think this wipes data, you need to factory wipe first..IIRC

No. Unless u go back to a stock rom that is not able to be rooted. The hc 8.6.5.21 is the only stock rom that can't be rooted I believe.

You should be able to root again using ViperMod.

Use RecoveryInstaller to flash CWM recovery.
With CWM recovery you can flash ROMs.

Download and install this app. Run the app and grant superuser access. Then flash the custom recovery. This will install cwm recovery. Then go to the development section and browse the custom roms. Download the rom of your choice, place on sd card, boot into recovery (shut down, then hold the volume down key and power key, then when prompted on screen, press the volume up key) Before flashing a new rom, u will want to do a full wipe first. (back up any needed data first) You will want to install from zip file. Choose the rom you downloaded, and now you have a custom rom installed.
Worked great
I was able to get my TF101 back to stock with this, really easy. Thanks.

Of course it's really easy. I'm a dummy, too. I speak dummy language
This worked perfectly and it fixed my USB issue from flashing the repacked ICS update. I love that Asus made the App Backup tool so I could just restore all my apps without Titanium!! So awesome!! Thanks again!
This isn't working for me? when i install the .zip from the asus website it says its completed installation but when i boot the tablet back up nothing has cahnged and CWM remains ??? is it because i have a tf101g? Ive also tried flashing stock asus recovery and it seems to work but then when i reboot i still have CWM ??
Will this work if I flash the German over rooted ww-version?
Can't believe it will be that easy also I don't wanna brick my tab.

[Q] can't boot into os after ota 6.3 update

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.

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. ?

Not really. The worst thing that happens is you break something in /system and have to make a factory cable to get into fastboot.
Use CWM recovery +FFF

Go with cwm... If you ever want to change ROMS Some have a reboot to recovery option and if your using twrp it will just cause a bootloop instead of going straight to recovery

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"
Do I go back into TWRP and install my backup or try installing a different cm version ?

I think cm11 fully installed, I can adb to my kindle and get a device number and I can see all the files in the kindle on my laptop. I just don't have any user interface screen on my kindle.
Problem solved I held down the power button and the volume up and down buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds ,then release them and when it booted up every thing was fine. Running cm11

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.

New Kindle FIre HDX7 with 3.2.6 rooted, safestrap it etc - how to get default back

Hi!
I recently bought a Kindle FIre HDX7. at first 3.1.0 was isntalled on it.. but while downloading and installing file explorer the kindle updater automatically downloaded the 3.2.6 update.... at first i thought great - now no root possible; but it still was possible
so then i rooted the device, installed SU, xposed and safestrap and flashed the Google Apps ROM.
I used this tutorial (but made a safestrap backup after xposed).
youtube com/watch?v=ZcD5mjZK0gU
How do i get back my Kindle Fire to the Stock Rom? or lets call it better this way: how can i make a complete reset of the device so that its in the same state like delivered. is a simple factory reset in the settings enough?
thx in advance.

open safestrap -> uninstall recovery -> reboot -> factory reset
but isnt my backup of the system combined with a root? because i made the backup after the root....
so thats all i need to do?
how about this description i just found:
youtube com/watch?v=HYwn9xWpDNw
I dont need any swiping, clean stock ROM etc?!

because the tutorial has not the same situation as my device.

My girlfriend got her fresh kindle today. she wants to test the rooted/safestrapped/xposed amazon 13.3.2.4 but she doesn't like it. She hasn't flashed a custom rom to one of the TWRP rom slots. So i would say you have to delete the rom slots ( not the stock one) and double check in fireOS if your device space becomes the normal size. If this worked I would uninstall the recovery with the button in safestrap. And re-enable the OTA update with KFHDX-ToolKit.
Then restart your Kindle and then check for updates. Install them all and after you installed them. Make a factory reset. Then its the pure amazon fireOS with the newest version BUT BUT (!!!!) you can't use root / safestrap / google playstore anymore - keep that in mind.
Wish you the best

I also didnt use a costum ROM slot - but i have a backup from my system. or i can also download the stock rom or? but how do i install the backup? just hit install in the safestrap option (boot up) and install it on the stock rom slot? and then uninstall the recovery?
or do i just have to hit factory reset when i didnt use a costum rom slot? but re-enable OTA and install update is not an option...
Okay if i get it right now. You want a stock 13.3.2.4 fireOS without root and so on? And you are currently on 13.3.2.6 with all stuff. Right?
correct - because apparently im not able to use the HDX Nexus ROM with 3.2.5 or 3.2.6 (even though there are several youtube vids that show it works perfectly with 3.2.5?!)
but the main reason is that i want the stock ROM slot clean with the stock fire OS and use a costum ROM slot for the HDX Nexus Rom.
so basically a clean setup because now the gapps i flashed/installed on the stock ROM slot
i know i will have to reroot / install everything etc - but thats no problem. all i want is a factory reseted fresh kindle fire HDX with my current situation.
please help :/
in which order do i get the stock factory reset in the right order?
uninstall recovery
uninstall safestrap
factory reset? or do i need a stock .bin file which i have to install first?

if you are on your stock rom slot start the system.
open SAFESTRAP APP
click the "uninstall recovery"-button
restart your tablet
SAFESTRAP should now gone
if you want a specific version use the rollback tutorial
then your tablet should be stock in your preferred version (without ROOT and so on)
