I tried to install TWRP recovery, I used kindle fire hd 8" version.
The process went through the last step and it was supposed to reboot, but didn't turn on.
Now, it is just stuck at black screen and when I press power button, the device get warmed up but doesn't even show the boot animation.
When I plug it to charger, the screen doesn't show anything.
Please HELP
Did u flash the kindle 8.9 inch boot loader? And by boot animation I'm assuming u meant it doesn't even show the normal non animated one?

Alright, so, like the title says, its stuck in a bootloop, but, its not acting as if its rebooting, but, its stuck on the boot animation. I have rooted it and installed TWRP, but when I hold down either volume buttons when I start it and hold them through the blue fire logo, it does nothing and continues to go through the boot animation. I really need some help, please.

You need a fastboot cable. Use the Kindle Fire First Aid to go back to stock.
kindle fire 5th gen, stuck in boot loop unless battery drained.
I am able to boot fine only if the battery becomes drained from the boot loop'ing and then i turn it back on. But after it boots fine into the fire os, if i do a reboot or power off, then power on again, it will go back into a boot loop. And, i can't even turn it off right now, it is jsut in a boot loop.
It seems strange that it still boots, but only in that condition. WHat could be wrong? if i flash a custom rom, would it fix it or what?
thanks

Your best best is to reload FireOS 5.1.2 from the stock recovery menu if you can access it. Long press power until the device shuts off. Then press and hold left volume button (one closest to head phone jack) immediately followed by power button. Hold both for 5-10 sec. If no response release both then try again. After 3-5 seconds the device should boot into recovery mode. From there you can attempt to reload FireOS 5.1.2 following the instructions in this guide/video: here.
If you can't access the recovery menu then your only other option is to request an exchange from Amazon if the device is still under warranty.
Maybe try a back to Stock.

Hold power down & Volume down (When the buttons are on top the left one)
Hold the vol down button until you are in the recovery.
use the vol buttons until you find the "apply update from ADB"
The go ahead and use "ADB Sideload ./../xxx.bin" (Drag the downloaded file (.Bin) To the Terminal/cmd)

Same guidance is provided in the previous post; please check thread before posting.
Hi. It is running FireOS 5.0.0. I didn't flash it or do anything except root it, and then this is how i bought it used from ebay.

Well, that's a different story! Devices running 5.0.0-5.0.1 can boot twrp which greatly facilitates the installation of a custom rom which should eradicate the bootloop problem. You definitely do NOT want to upgrade FireOS beyond v5.0.1 as the device will permanently loose the ability to boot twrp. Such devices are sought and pretty rare.
On the road today so can't easily find/link relevant threads. Hopefully someone else will or I will update this post later.

hi. i just now installed the CM12, I was hesitant at first and wanted to take my time because i messed up a fire about a week ago, it was another fire 5th, but it had 5.0.12, and i think it was because i updated it and it was because i connected it to wifi, unike this one i didn't connect it to the internet before rooting and installing CM
i bought that fire off ebay used for 35 or less too.
so, now my fire works fine, and i can use it for extra stuff like reading.
thanks guys.
