Hello,
i`ve 2 Kindle here where no update work.
My Steps:
- both are flashed with the stock fw ver. 7.4.3
- Downloaded the updatefile 7.4.9 and copy to the internal storage
- Settings/Device/About -> Update
The Kindles shutdown and do the upgrade. After restart the Kindles goes to the "Kindle Fire System Recovery" Both options doesn`t work (Reboot your Kindle & Reset to Factory Defaults)
Both Kindles will run again after flashing the stock version 7.4.3.
Any Ideas?
Best regards

I have a Kindle Fire HD 1st Gen and I've been trying all day just to get rid of TWRP and get back to stock Amazon ROM. I tried flashing TWRP 2.2.2.1 zip, but apparently anything I flash there's an error and says couldn't find /sdcard/kindleupdate/whatever. I've downloaded KFU 0.9.6 and I have Java and SDK/ADB installed. When I try and install the drivers I get an error with an "X" next to Google (WinUSB). When I hit run.bat it says I'm online, but the device is unknown. My device won't go into fastboot anymore, it will just say on the prompt "kindle fire has been told to boot in fastboot mode" and then after that the kindle reboots and I get stuck with the light blue twrp "kindle fire hd" boot logo. I heard that TWRP 2.6.0.0 sucks because it won't flash the Amazon stock rom and that TWRP 2.2.2.1 can flash the stock rom. So I started searching on how to downgrade from TWRP 2.6.0.0 to 2.2.2.1, but everything involves kindle fire utility and root and all this other stuff that doesn't seem to work. I'm just really frustrated and fed up at this point. Why is it so difficult to get Kindle Fire Utility to install my drivers correctly and get into fastboot?
My main objective is to remove TWRP and just get back to Amazon stock OS so I can sell the darn thing.
Yes, I've searched on youtube and on xda on how to fix the driver issues/fastboot all day, but nothing has worked.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me some detailed steps on how to fix all of this. I wish I hadn't installed TWRP at all if I'd known it was this difficult to flash a rom.

What firmware are you running? This matters because in order to get rid of TWRP, you will have to flash an Amazon image via fastboot to get rid of the second bootloader. This will put you back to stock. Knowing your firmware is imperative or you can flash yourself into a hard brick.
I recently bought a Kindle Fire HD 7". I have successfully rooted and installed TWRP on the device. I installed CM without any error. I later on installed another rom, which was corrupt, and now my Kindle is stuck in a bootloop. Cannot boot into recovery and cannot buy a factory cable. Is there another way to unbrick my tablet? Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I was helping a colleague put CM11 on his Kindle Fire HD. 7", was following this process for the complete install and everything was going fine until I tried to install CM11.
Here's what worked
- Rooting
- Downgrading in 7.2.3
- Installing TWRP and second bootloader using this video (details to XDA threads used in comments).
Here's my issue: installing the rom went fine. I went with cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-tate.zip from the official CM site then the Google Apps. When I rebooted, it loaded for a while and got stuck with the blue logo (2nd bootloader). After a while I turned it off because it looked like it was bootlooping, went back in recovery, tried to install it again and here we are:
- installing anything fails
- trying to restore my nandroid backup fails
- ADB sideload doesn't work
Any idea how I could get out of this mess? I don't have a factory cable, my ADB drivers should be working and I managed to use fastboot during the installation but now it doesn't seem to work well.
Thanks in advance, if you need any precision let me know.
Hey guys,
I rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" (Tate) and installed a second boot loader and TWRP recovery. I installed CM11 but actually preferred the Amazon Fire OS. I tried to restore my backup from TWRP recovery, but I think it restored the boot partition badly. It now just flashes the Orange kindle fire logo, then reboots and does the same thing again and reboots etc. etc. Is there a way I can restore a Stock Fire Os Rom from my PC now or get into fastboot and re flash the boot loader (The files are in the downloads folder)
Thanks!
Could someone please suggest something? Even telling me it's unfixable and I've got a perma-brick would be helpful. Thanks!

Don't worry,it's fixable. Though you'll need a fastboot cable. Then you can restore it. And I recommend using CM since Amazon OS makes problems with the 2nd boot loader.

Thanks for this SafinWasi, do you know where I could get a FastBoot cable??? (I live in the UK) I know how to use FastBoot as I've had to use it before when I flashed the wrong recovery image
Just purchase a fastboot cable via eBay and use kfft restore tool
Hi,
I recently downgraded and rooted my 4th Gen Fire HD 7.
Then I tried to install Xposed, but it soft bricked my fire , which at first was stuck at the "Fire" boot logo.
So I tried to factory reset, wipe cache, but it was still stuck there.
Upon seeing this, since I still had access to TWRP, I tried to flash the 4.5.3 firmware after a factory reset.
But this got things worse (maybe), now my tablet is stuck in a bootloop at the amazon logo. At least I still have access to TWRP when I force shutdown the put on the tablet.
#Edit : I'll like to keep 4.5.3 Firmware at first before flashing 5.2 later. So since i'm trying to flash the 4.5.3 stock firmware via TWRP but it won't do that, both in sideload and in ZIP install. In sideload I get ann error like "This ROM is for ''Full ariel'' but your device is an ''omni ariel''...
I think flashing the 5.2 firmware can be done but I'll prefer someone should let me know if it will not get things worse than they are...
Idea on how to help about the issue in my edit?
Or any general solution to the problem?
Thx for reading
It will work but you need to replace twrp with stock recovery on 5.2. Here is the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950
