Hi,
I tried rooting my Kindle Fire because I hate the built in things and I wanted the play store.
Anyway, I tried rooting it with Quem and during it the screen went off and restarted the kindle. Now when I go on the kindle it's unbearingly laggy and the 'Kindle Fire' bootup logo keeps flashing. Most of the time when I try to go to the settings after about 5 minutes of lag the screen just goes black.
Anyway I can just reset it so it's like brand new?

Oh, the joys of rooting the Fire. Don't worry about the severe lag. Just keep running the root tool again. If you can, try to use Bin4ry's root method here. It may fare better for you.
I bet he needs to delete the local.prop on the data partition, think that's the name of the file. That would get rid of the lag atleast.

Everytime I rooted my Kindle I had to put up with this issue. I wish I had thought of that. It was such a pain in the but to work with. I could achieve root by running the exploit again and again, but still. It can be done, but it takes patience.
KFFirst Aide there is a tool to fix this, i had this problem earlier today.

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

may i ask did you install fire fire and twrp since on a kindle you rooted with burrito root?

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!

Does CM7 supports flash on browser?
Im not a complete noob lol this is just my first android device - ive got cm7 running and everything is going great so far - does anyone know the name of the tweak that lets you change the volume by sliding up or down on the side of the screen? I saw someone with it in a youtube video but they forgot what ot was called lol

That volume control app is available in the market. Look for "Volume Control" by RubberBigPepper.
OK. So I restored back to the stock Kindle Fire rom. After I did that, it restarted like 3 times and now it's unrooted. I'm pretty sure it didn't update itself. But I'm not sure.
Also, Kindle Fire Utility won't detect my kindle, so I can't use that to reroot. What would be the easiest way to root it again? I don't want to go through the hell that I experienced last time aha.
thanks
If you figured out how to root it the first time you should be able to do it again all the tools are located in the Developer section go do some reading and do it.

Use BurritoRoot3 to root and get FFF.
Then try to get KFU working to install TWRP.
Actually I'm having a very similar problem. My Kindle Fire automagically unrooted and now it isn't being recognized in any adb at all. I'm even using Ubuntu Linux right now and "adb devices" doesn't recognize my KF.
Before unrooting, my Kindle Fire had stock rom with no recovery. Just rooted to have access to default android market. I don't know what to do right now.
I just had a Kindle Fire delivered this afternoon and I have not been able to get it to play Prime Videos. When I tap to Watch a video it goes into the screen where it appears to be loading then it says something like "video is not loading as fast as expected. Check wireless connectivity or try again later." I've tried everything there is to try and was bounced back and forth 4 times for about an hour and a half with support. My only hope is that something went wrong with the update and maybe reinstalling it makes it work.
Or maybe trying an older version? I have found instructions on how to recover from a rooted Fire, but not from stock.
factory reset?

With the New Update
This won't always solve your problem, but with the new 6.3.1 release out, you should be able to load that and install. That will flash it to the stock without needing to root the device.

You can download the latest stock rom directly from the Amazon Kindle web site, I believe it is in the Manage my Device section. They also provide easy instructions for installing it that don't require root.

the stock roms actually backup ur data before flashing the update. than it restores your data again.

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

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
