Go to Settings -> My account and press Register button. Don't register your Fire tablet, just press the SKIP button and confirm. The navigation bar will shows up.
If didn't work. Backup your important files and contents and reset your Fire tablet.
Is it possible do downgread the firmware version? Are there any risk? I still have an older firmware file
I see also on the screen when I flash the firmware:
"Patching system image unconditionally..."
is there something wrong with the bin file? I've got it direct from Amazon
Everything is back to normal thanks to the Amazon Fire Toolbox created by Datastream33.
I have only one question. When I press the "home" button, it takes a moment to change the screen. Is there a way to change a parameter with SetEdit?
Thanks
Klaus

I rooted my NST this morning but decided it was not for me. I restored it back to factory and then upgraded the to the latest firmware. Now, my home button no longer brings up the menu.
The home button appears to still be alive. When the nook is asleep, it says Press the n button below to wake up your NOOK - pressing the button does wake up the nook. When the Nook is awake I can hit the home button 4 times and it puts it to sleep.
Here's what I've done today:
I rooted with noogie.img.gz originally, then I tried touchnooter
To restore I used n2T-Recovery_0.1 to restore to factory
I then upgraded the firmware to 1.1.0 by transferring the .zip from B&N via USB
Please help!
Edit: The home button was not functioning correctly before I updated the firmware. I upgraded to 1.1.0 with the hope that it'd fix it.

Not sure why it would not be for you - rooting does nothing but add extra functionality the original functionality remains,

First, noogie does not root your Nook - it is a bootable SD image that allows you to back it up - make sure to back up the whole physical drive not just a partition (learned that one the hard way).
Before trying to restore anything back it up now - then in case you really mess things up you will at least have an image with your serial and other device specific info.
Then since it is rooted you may try this application which allows you to map the N button to your choice :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289894
That may let you reset it and you may find you like it rooted and keep it that way.
If that doesn't work try to restore the second n2T recovery image
failing that ask the owner of that thread for help.
Thanks for that response.
What I meant to say was that I used noogie to mount the Nook and then I replaced uRamdisk (and I first made sure to make an image of the Nook so that I could always restore it).
Since my original post, I reset the Nook using the L+R buttons and it has restored all functionality of the home button. Once again I have a fully functional Nook, albeit an unrooted one. I'll try rooting again soon because I'd still love the use of the Kindle app.
I followed the burritoroot3 guide and I've got a minor annoyance.
When I reboot the device it always comes up with the yellow triangle and "press power button for recovery."
When I hit the power button it goes to the "kindle fire" normal bootup and proceeds to boot normally.
I am rooted, the kindle appears to work fine except for this minor annoyance.
What have I done wrong? What should my next step be to flash a CM7 build?
*edit*
Ah, OK, so the yellow triangle IS the firefirefire bootloader. WHy doesn't pushing the "power" button access the bootloader then?
*/edit*
Hold the power button until it turns from green to orange when the fire fire fire boot loader first appears.

Doesn't appear to work?
Here's what I did:
I turned my Kindle off.
Pressed "power" button once.
Boot loader appears, I again press power and hold until the light turns orange, then release
The screen goes black for a moment, yellow triangle appears, then "kindle fire" appears, then yellow triangle, then "kindle fire" and normal bootup.
Sorry, I just saw the second part of your question. I assume you have twrp installed since you used burritoroot3. Put the from zip file you downloaded into the sdcard directory of your kindle fire. Use the backup function in twrp to create a backup of your kindle fire in case the install goes wrong. After doing this go to the wipe menu in twrp do a factory reset and then go back to the main menu of twrp and hit install. Find the zip file with the the from in it you placed in the sdcard directory, select it and hit the flash button. Sorry this explanation isn't very good I'm typing on my kindle fire and this keyboard is weird.

Wow I'm stupid i forgot buritto root doesn't install twrp, go find the kindle fire utility on this forum and in my experience use an older build like the 0.9.1 and use it to install twrp

Allrighty, thanks to the helpful IRC folks I've got it all sorted out.
I didn't actually have a custom recovery installed.
I'm good to go now, at least as far as rooting goes...
Instead of studying for my exams, I decided to try to root my new Nook Simple Touch.
Not very cleverly, I use a guide from the site lifehacker. Since that moment, my ereader has been blocked on the initial page : "read forever your nook is starting up" for about an half hour.
Panic-strucken, I went all around the web looking desperately for a solution.
Finally I tried a guide that can brought me to factory data (THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475613)
It worked and brought me the initial configuration. I logged in and... "Sorry we're having trouble setting up your nook. please shutdown the device and try again"
I don't know what to do.
Now I am paralized and desperate.
I'm so sorry, but I was not able to find anything on this site. Please, help me
Edit: Now it says
Restart required :
Your Nook encountered a problem that requires a system restart .
I restart system again and again but not solved problem;
Did you first make a backup before attempting to root?
What firmware version did you have on your nook before rooting?
Since your nook is new it is likely that you had FW 1.2
For FW 1.2 only tinynoot or NookManager can be used to root.
Have you tried a factory reset:
Power off the nook - hold down the power button (rear of nook)
When you have the msg 'your nook is off', then power on,
Quickly place the nook on a flat surface and press and hold the two lower page turn buttons.
Keep pressing...do not release....your fingers will be sore by now...
A msg will eventually come that asks if you want to do a factory reset
You can let go of the two page turn buttons, and press the 'n' button
Another msg asking to confirm, again press the 'n' button.
It will now attempt to restore your nook.

I used NookManager and made a backup before rooting, do you know where I can find the backup so I can transfer it to my PC ?.
Hi,
I have previously tried to flash old firmware on my kindle fire hd 8 (5th gen) so i could root the device but it appears to have bricked it.
I have tried many other solutions but the device is simply not turning on.
Is there any way i can bring my fire back to life?
What version OS were you on? Usually if you can't get into your recovery screen, by pressing the volume down button first and then power button (hold both until the amazon logo appears), then your device is lost. Return it to Amazon if still under warranty, for a courtesy replacement.

What process were you following? Having you tried powering down completely (hold the power button for about 10 seconds) then hold volume up and hold the power on button to boot into recovery? (if that does work try volume down). What rooting process were you doing though and where did it fail?
