To return to stock:
1. Make sure that superuser is installed as a user app. If not just uninstall/delete from system/app folder, then reinstall from the play store or sideloaded copy.
2. Unistall/delete any mods you have made to any folder outside sdcard, ie: launchers in system/app folder
3. Delete the su binary from system/xbin folder
4. Uninstall superuser
5. Factory reset

ive factory reset and the google play store is still there and im missing the kindle app and kindle store :?
UPDATE **

You have to remove anything you changed in the system folder.
First make sure you install superuser.apk as a user app. If it is a system app delete it from the system/app folder then install from the play store. Or move the .apk to data/app folder
Then delete the vending.apk or phonesky.apk from system/app folder. This will get rid of play store(after factory reset)
Remove any other mods you made to system folders ie:launchers
Lastly you have to delete the su binary, it is located in the system/xbin folder.
Now you can perform factory reset and it should be back to stock.

hi I have just followed the method to root my kindle fire hd running 7.3.0. i followed the manual guide.
i have also just installed vending, gplay and phonesky. Play is working fine. Also moved the marketintentproxy to the sdcard from system/app.
Here are my issues:
1. How to i disable OTA updates that amazon push out? Guide says to "open Kindle Fire First Aide - Select Option 14 to Disable OTA" cant find this?!?! maybe me.. long day..
2. When I rooted, I didn't restore my kindle to factory settings so I am still left with the apps I downloaded from amazon. Will these be ok to use still? Assume I won't gt updates for them?
3.During the rooting process I chose to restore my kindle but didn't enter the encryption passsword above. Does this matter?
Last thing is to do with ROMs. I have only ever rooted android handsets that requires booting into recovery and you can then flash a rom. Is the kindle completely different to this an the only was you replace amazon's awful interface is by installing and using Go Launcher?
Also, is this the latest link to get flash on a browser such as dolphin?

Thanks in advance!
I used the Kindle Fire Aid utility and it appeared to have worked fine. Which Binary V # do you have downloaded? It is definitely number 14.
Hi guys, first post and kindle / android virgin so bear with me.
Received a kindle fire HD 7 a few days ago and proceeded to root it. installed google play 4.1.10 and got this working with little to no problems. I have developed a problem with the screen where the left side is very dim so contacting amazon who will replace it. I want to restore to the factory stock image and unroot prior to returning this and I havent been able to find out how to do this (I have searched and searched). Can anyone point me in the direction of a tut to do this? Assuming I need a factory cable? all help appreciated.
many thanks
How did you root it?

If you dont have the second bootloader installed its easy to unroot. Go into your file explorer and goto system apps and delete vending.apk, googleserveciesframework.apk, googleloginservices.apk, superuser.apk, and any other google app you installed to system. Then you goto system/xbin and delete su and busybox. Then restart then factory reset should be back to stock unrooted.

I recently put together a post just for this reason. http://androidcowboy.com/2013/06/how-to-return-kindle-fire-hd-to-stock/
Hi,
Brand new to this site so no idea what I'm doing but I'll explain my problem, and I am a bit of a n00b when it comes to technical speak so bear with me!
Rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" to get the Playstore and to disable the ads
Working well, but then I decided to get rid of automatic updates as whenever one came along, all my hard work was erased
Now I feel my Kindle is running slowly and I want to un-root all the work I did, and get it back to the way it was
I have performed a factory reset (probably a massive mistake!) and attempted to un-root it. But whenever I go on my Bin4ry program, and click to unroot, it says "Error: Device not found"
It comes up when I go into My Computer, and I have installed all necessary drivers, and enabled ADB...
I have tried to install the latest update for the Kindle Fire HD from the Amazon site as some people have said that worked, but I assume because I disabled automatic updates, it didn't work.
I am using Windows 7
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7"
So how can I unroot it? Please help me!

Use KFFA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 You can do about anything from that tool. Just don't try to install TWRP or 2nd bootloader from there.
Try this dude

Many Superuser apps include the 'unroot' function in their settings. If the one you installed doesn't have the setting, just install supersu or CWM's Superuser app from the market, boot it up, let it take over the su and then use that app to unroot. (Choose "Install", Do Not Choose "Recovery Install"! ;p)
The fact your Kindle Fire isn't recognized by your bin4ry tool is maybe because of your factory reset resetting the Debug over USB setting in your settings. Re-enabling that will probably make it visible again to Bin4ry, since Bin4ry uses ADB (Android Debugging Bridge).

as the title says,need to send it back as it is having volume problems,it keeps turning itslef up.i have done a factory reset etc etc but its still the same,,,,whats the best tool now to return it completely to how it was when i got it with no trace of roms or twrp
thankyou
What I would do is use kindle fire first aid to restore it to stock, then manually unroot it by first deleting the superuser apk from the system partition, then deleting the su binary. Seem's like the updates from their site used to be flash able from twrp if you changed the extension, you could always let it ota or manually update it after using kffa to restore it, that would also take care of root.

It should be ready now, once a stock ota image updates the kindle it basically wipes all changes you made from the system partition.
