[Q] Any Suggestions?

I recently rooted my kindle no problems and installed android market and TWRP with no problem using kindle fire utility but one day i accidently pressed 4 on the Kindle fire utility and it did the stock update.zip on my kindle and i lost my root + TWRP recovery but regained root access by using kindle utility again but i cant seem to get TWRP back on there. every time i go to press 5 for install twrp it says TWRP img found and tries to install but i end up waiting forever and i power off and on like it says any suggestions?

I was never able to get TWRP to install with KFU. I eventually gave up using KFU and just installed it manually, which isn't hard to do at all:
http://liliputing.com/2011/12/how-t...ire-backup-restore-flash-custom-firmware.html
a few notes on the link: there is a typo in there, make sure you type adb. another suggestion i'd make is to put the img in the platform-tools folder

[Solved] Kindle Fire Bricked!! - stuck on yellow triangle/screwed up framework folder

So I was messing around with my rooted Kindle Fire trying to apply a new theme to my Ice Cream Sandwich Launcher with metamorph and totally screwed everything up. I rebooted my Kindle Fire and it was stuck on the kindle fire logo screen. This morning I tried to unbrick it with the Kindle Fire Unbrick utility but it screwed up everything even more. Now i'm stuck on the yellow triangle screen (firefirefire), I realized that I totally screwed up the framework apk in the system folder. My computer will recognize the Kindle Fire but it comes up as "kindle" in the Other Devices in the "Device Manager". I tried to update the driver but the wizard will say that it cannot find any driver. What should I do? I already read many other posts but throughout the steps I get stuck on one and cannot continue.

I suggest try the following:
Adb kill-server
Adb start-server
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
or
adb shell idme bootmode 4000
adb shell reboot
Good luck

I know how to fix the yellow triangle, do this
1.Download kindle fire utility
2.Unzip kindle fire utility
3.To install the driver,its easy,just plug in your kindle, when it pops up with the install wizard say pick from the location of: KindleFireUtility>drivers>kindle 4.run kindle fire utility,select 1 then select 1 again
That's it, hope it helps

First off, what rom are you running on you Kindle stock 6.2.2, CM7, CM9? Did you make a backup of the original framework-res.apk? If so follow these instructions (assuming you have adb working):
if original framework-res.apk is stored on you computer:
from command prompt (start -> in search box type cmd then enter) cd to where you have backed up the original file if it's on your computer
then type the following commands
adb devices
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot
if the original file is stored on your kindle:
adb devices
adb remount
adb mv /path-to-original/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk (fill in actual path in "path-to-original")
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework-res.apk
adb reboot
Hint: If you didn't make copy of original framework-res.apk, you can always download and open up the install zip for your rom and extract the original file. Good Luck!

Kindle Fire Bricked PLEASE HELP!!!
So like every other noob with a new kindle fire 6.2.2 i tried to root it, after nearly 3 days of trying different ways i was able to root it i then proceeded to install go launcher ex once i selected go launcher it froze and i have not been able to boot sense.i was stuck on kindle fire logo and it would not do anything i tried to run the unbrick utility 1.1 and 1.0 i get device not found but it does say it was unbricked but it is not, now let me say how stupid i was to not create a backup i know i know ugh im kicking myself now... my computer sees it under device manager as android adb interface when pluged in and i see the usb connection in the task bar on WIN 7, but i cannot access it as a protable drive. when i turn it on it will only load twrp.im guessing im screwed and everything is gone... any help will be much much appreciated, im not sure what other info you may need at this point and i am sorry for my ignorance in advance. thank you for any help!
and yes i have tried several things to get it working again which has gotten me to this worse point...i was able to see it normaly as protable device but i dont know what i did to get this.

somebodyssomewhere:
- boot to twrp
- open shell -> "adb shell"
- issue "echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file"
- now the sdcard should mount to the computer
now you can delete the faulty .apk of go launcher with adb commands or install a new rom:
- now you can download and copy your new rom to sdcard (ie prerooted stock)
- mount sdcard -> "mount /sdcard"
- exit adb shell -> "exit"
- tap install in twrp and install the new rom
- ignore errors about volume "misc" - the kf don't have a volume "misc"
- on the screen where you return after installation tap clear dalvik/cache
in eighter case set the bootmode back to normal:
- set boot mode to normal -> "adb shell idme bootmode 4000"
- reboot -> "adb reboot"

thank you for your replies i will try them all as well as let my friend know who is coming over to try to fix my stupid lol thank you all for your suggestions.

Update - Here is the Fix
With a bit of research and lots of help from b63 I got my Kindle Fire to work again:
1. Booted into TWRP (Recovery Mode).
2. Flashed new MD5 zip (Kindle Fire Stock 6.2.2).
3. Wiped all data off the sd card except the TWRP folder and the MD5.
4. Booted the Kindle Fire and it went straight to the lockscreen.
Thanks for all your help!

Still am sorta stuck
Ok, so I tried to flash a MIUI ICS rom using TWRP and followed the (apparently crappy) instructions here. So, I'm stuck on the TWRP logo and have used the Kindle Fire Utility to try and reset the bootmode to no avail (it does set it and it reboots but still never progresses into the actual TWRP menu.
Any ideas?!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22433402&postcount=4

i did finally get my kindle working again after several reboots of the pc and kindle and re installing the drivers a couple times it is now recognized. after almost a week of messing with this i have found that rooting this is alot more simple then many people are giving directions for.
what i did:
download kindlefireutility1.1
download what apps you want BEFORE you root, i have found many apps work when installed before rooting some apps may still not work..
once kindle fire utility is downloaded extract it to your c: drive
go into the kindle fire utility folder in the c drive and install the usb drivers if you need them,if not click run this will open the utility make sure you have a fresh reboot of both the kindle and pc, plug the usb cable into the kindle and pc leave it on usb mass storage mode, move any apps or files you want and press 5 to install the latest twrp MAKE A BACKUP IN TWRP BACKUP ITS EASY, DO NOT PRESS CONTINUE UNTIL KINDLE IS BACK ON THE HOME SCREEN it will say press any key a few times when using this utility.
once done you will want to install the google frame work and Go Launcher.The kindle will reboot a couple times during all this and can take up to 5 min to load so be patient.
go back into the kindle utility and then press 7 and then press #2
once this is done you can then root so hit # 3 for perm install of burrito and super user
now once those are done and you are back into the kindle home screen click on the super user icon looks like an android dude and click ok. if you dont see ok then it didnt work and try again
then click on the burrito root guy he looks like an android cop open him and if you see exit then ur good if not try again.
now your kindle should be rooted. now if you want to install a custom ROM do the same exact steps but then when it is rooted power off the kindle and press the power button once and immediately again press and hold the power button for 7 seconds until it turns orange you will then see the yellow triangle for about 2 min then it will load twrp
once in twrp go tot he folder where you saved your ROM onto your kindle, i like to copy files to the download folder..
select your rom then click on flash, you may get a couple errors but ignore them. make sure to wipe the cashe and then hit reboot and you should be good...i hope this help someone and if you need help feel free to send me a msg. im no expert but ill try

[GUIDE] What to do if Kindle won't boot after flashing

So I am relatively new to this forum (posting anyway, been reading for years) and it seems like every single person posting a question could be saved with one solution. If you flash a rom onto your Kindle fire and it won't boot properly after, or you are stuck in a bootloop, but you are able to get into recovery, follow this guide, and you should be able to reclaim your Kindle with little hassle.
What you need:
TWRP
FFF already installed (if you see the blue kindle fire logo at boot you have FFF)
The ability to get into recovery
Another ROM to flash (preferably not the one that caused the problem in the first place)
What to do:
1. First, boot your Kindle into TWRP
2. Connect your fire to your computer via USB
3. Once in TWRP, tap on Mount
4. Once inside mount, tap the box next to sdcard under 'select partitions to mount' so that there is an X in the box (if there is already an X, leave it there) tap any others that have X's so that sdcard is the only one with an X
5.Next tap on the button that says Mount USB Storage
6. This with allow your fire to connect to your computer through recovery
7. Once your fire is connected to your computer, find the rom you will be installing, and place it onto your Kindle's internal storage through your computer.
8. If you have a Gapps or anything else that you would like to install, copy those to your Kindle now too.
9. When the files have completely transferred to your Kindle, tap the button that says Unmount.
10. Tap the back button to go back to the TWRP main screen.
11. Tap on Wipe
12. Tap on Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik Cache, Data, Cache, and System
13. Swipe to Wipe
14. Once the wipe is complete, exit back to the TWRP main screen.
15. Tap Install
16. Navigate through the folders list on the left, to find the rom you want to flash in the box on the right.
17. Select the rom from the box on the right and install it.
18. Once it is complete go back to the main screen and if you have anything else to install, repeat the install process for each one.
19. Once you are finished installing everything go back into Wipe
20. Select Advanced Wipe again, and only select Dalvik Cache.
21. Swipe to Wipe
22. Go back to the TWRP main screen and tap Reboot
23. Select System to reboot your Kindle.
If you are still stuck in a bootloop you have two options:
1.) try installing a third rom, different from the first two you tried.
2.) ensure your Kindle isn't in fastboot with adb or KFU (I'm not going to cover that because there are plenty of threads about that already)
The only reason I typed this up is because I was reading through the Q&A and this method would fix almost every single person's problems. If this guide is unnecessary and a mod feels it should be deleted, feel free
If this helps you reclaim your Kindle, a THANKS is a good way to show appreciation

DO NOT FACTORY RESET without doing a lot of reading first and understand the implications. In many circumstances, that is a quick way to make the problem worse. It could remove SU and ADB communication.

Well, this advice is useless for me because new firmware removes SU too

[2017] Root Kindle Fire HD 6 4th gen tutorial

Hi,
This is my first post here but I have gotten so much help I wanted to give back. I have been working on rooting my Kindle fire HD 6 over the last couple days and after searching multiple tutorials I have successfully rooted with these steps.
To begin:
1. You MUST backup any data on your device before starting this process
2. Download all the files from here and Fire OS 5.4.0.0 here
3. Get your downgrade here
3. Follow the instructions below (modified from user @marathonjon reply here https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950/page54)
Here we go for the install:
1. Enable ADB on your device and set up ADB on your computer
2. Download 4.5.3 firmware (you should already have it from the download above)
3. Connect device to computer and run "adb reboot recovery" (assuming you have adb enabled on your tablet)
4. Use volume keys and power button to navigate to "Apply update from ADB"
5. From computer type "adb sideload update-kindle-20.4.5.3_user_453011120.bin" (the files need to be added to the same folder your terminal is currently running or you can specify the file path)
6. From tablet select "wipe data/factory reset" (this is why we did the backup earlier)
7. From tablet select "reboot system"
8. Complete setup (do not connect to a wifi network yet, this is very important!)
9. Disable OTA updates ( adb shell ; pm block com.amazon.dcp or "Debloater"), I used the above jmz Kindle fire tools to disable the OTA, just sideload it and you are good to go.
10. Sideload Kingroot & let it root (this can take a while, just let it go)
11. Flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-ariel.img TWRP image via Flashify (backup stock recovery first, again very important!!) (you will need to sideload the included Flashify APK)
12. Download all files above and place them in the Download directory of your kindle
13. Boot into TWRP, flash 4.5.3_twrp_recovery_full_ariel_string.zip. (use adb reboot recovery for this)
14. Do factory reset using the default TWRP wipe settings
15. Flash FireOS 5.4.0.0 (rename *bin to *zip so that TWRP can recognize it)
16. Flash 5.5.2_1534_stock_recovery_uboot.zip, this will put the required 5.3.1 bootloader back(PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DO THIS STEP!!)
17. DO NOT REBOOT YET! If you do you will probably lose root!
18. Flash Supersu.zip (included in the download
19. Clear cache/dalvik in TWRP
20. Reboot to recovery: adb reboot recovery. This will be stock recovery now because TWRP doesn’t boot with 5.x bootloaders.
21. Reboot to FireOS (could take ~15 minutes, it might seem like it is stuck in a boot loop but it will go)
The above instructions served me well, as with all posts on this site PLEASE USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! And post any questions below

I just followed your tutorial and it worked for me... Amazon has FireOS 5.4.0.1 for the update file now and it still worked following your steps. Thank you!

Could I keep root without updating to 5.4?
---------- Post added at 06:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------
Also Kingroot fails. Was the exploit is uses patched?

Bricked Device(unbricked it with DoLooper tutorial) improvising,Step 9 says sideload JMZ Tools how do you do that without connection? only way i can think is es explorer which you have to have connection to install

Any news on this? Thinking of attempting

I attempted this to downgrade from rooted 5.12 to 4.53 so that I could install twrp and get to the latest load.
I am stuck on step 8. After I flashed 4.5.3 and wiped, I attempted to sideload kingroot and the jmz utility but they did not install. I imagined that it failed because they are from unknown sources and that setting is disabled once 4.5.3 is loaded. So I rebooted with wifi off, attempted to adb reboot recovery, and I got to a recovery menu with 2 options, none of which are adb sideload.
How can I proceed? If I enable wifi to download kingroot, it will attempt to update, correct?
EDIT - I enabled wifi to download kingroot apk since I can't sideload it, and surely enough an update to 4.5.5 downloaded. Damn.
RE-EDIT--I just caught my initial mistake. I used the command adb sideload for kingroot and jmz instead of adb install. Another damn. I am downloading kingroot and rooting while the update to 4.5.5 awaits installation, which I won't do.

It boot me into kids edition...?

It worked great for me, considering that that the tablet cost me $60 brand new I took the risk. It is up to you whether this is something that you want.

I have a kindle fire hd 7 4th gen, running 5.6.0.1. Will this work for me?

Will this work for my hd 7 4th gen running fire os 5.6.0.1?

IDK, it has been awhile since I ran this and I have not stayed up to date on the latest firmware. As always you can try it at your own risk and post any questions here. I will do my best to answer.
I do not recommend trying this if you rely on the tablet for anything, things can go wrong and you could lose everything including the tablet.
Have Fun!

On step 15, does it have to be 5.4.0.0? I'm having trouble finding a download for it since the link in OP leads to 5.6.0.1
edit: found a link (https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/fire-hd-8-2017-downgrade-to-5-4-0-0-5-6-t3719639) but it's for FIre HD 8. Will that work or does it need to be specifically for the HD 6?

Yes, that is the latest version that is still root-able I believe.

Still works with update 5.6.1.0
Still works thanks alot!

Yup, worked for me as well. Thanks @RobbotCC from another CMH kindle newbie

Stuck on step #13
My KF HD 6 gen 4 shows it is running OS 4.5.3. I can boot into TWRP. ADB sees my device. I need to add ".\adb" before ADB commands.
The problem I'm having is that I cannot flash the TWRP 4.5.3 recovery. When I have the TWRP launcher showing and type " .\adb reboot recovery" the system reboots right into the TWRP launcher. When I power off then on, it boots right into the Fire OS. I never see the system recovery screen, so I can't flash the recovery zip file.
Help? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
