Hey guys,
Currently trying to open flashfire on my 5.1.2 Kindle Fire 7in. It starts to open, then immediately force closes. I've tried reinstalling multiple times and restarting the device, but I'm still unable to run it. Any ideas?
Install latest version of FlashFire

At some point i had my kindle fire rooted with a jelly bean rom, with twrp recovery installed. I wanted to get rid of my fire, so i decided it was time to go back to the stock rom. In my infinite wisdom, I ended up wiping my factory backup by mistake. I went onto the kindle update site and downloaded the latest official version 6.3 bin file. I then renamed the .bin to .zip and updated it through twrp. When my kindle restarted, the factory OS came up, except I started getting android.acore errors along with another calendar process error. If that wasn't bad enough, it now randomly reboots whenever it feels like it. Luckily I can still usb mount it to my pc and can copy files back and forth. I tried using the kindle fire utility to root it again and install twrp, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Pretty sure you're in the wrong forum - this is for the KF HD, not the original Fire.

oops, my bad. Thanks for the heads up.
I have rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" and wanted to do a factory reset. My kindle was cluttered and I was hoping to start fresh with a reset. I was in the middle of trying to install some google apps, and became stuck when ES file explorer stopped allowing me to paste certain files into system/app. I abandoned the project temporarily, and was going to resume after the reset. After that, every time I booted the kindle on I got error messages.
I assumed once I did a reset those messages would go away, but every time I start to register my kindle I get a message saying "(such and such) has stopped." and I get sent back to the "Welcome" screen. I have tried several times, including quite a few reboots, but to no avail.
Any ideas on how to get past this? Or maybe a way to completely reset everything on the kindle (including system files)? Thanks in advance!
What about...
Will re-downloading the kindle firmware reset the system/app files,so that the current error messages don't show up? If so, is there a way to download firmware without having to use the kindle itself, just from the computer while the kindle is connected through USB?
Edit: I'm going to try and use a factory cable and the "System.img Restore Tool" to see if that fixes the problem, I'll post back later...
I recently decided to restore my rooted Kindle Fire HD 7." The kindle starts just fine, and displays the normal kindle fire boot screen. However, instead of the usual Amazon start-up and device registration screen, it gave me the default Android startup. However, everytime I hit start, the setup wizard ends up crashing. I had the Google Play store installed before the unroot. I have not messed around with custom roms, or anything like that. Windows sees the Kindle just fine, however it doesn't register under ADB. Is there anything I can do? I do not have a factory cable, nor can I find where to get one.

Where did you find instructions for the restore? I need to restore one to stock too.

Settings->Device->Factory
Also, the device doesn't show up when I try fastboot.
When I touch "settings," "Device Options," "System Updates" the screen flashes black for a second, and then goes back to the Settings screen ... so I can't tell what version of FireOS I am on!
Backstory: New Fire tab came with 5.3.1 ... while successfully rooting with Kingroot, in "System Updates" Fire told me that it had downloaded an update, but then that message went away and it just said 5.3.1. Used Supertool to block OTA updates; installed FlashFire; and then flashed the latest Nexus ROM according to instructions in the thread. FlashFire didn't seem to be doing anything; it just went to a totally black screen. I manually booted after 15 minutes and still have FireOS but can't view the version number, and root is gone. Tried booting into Recovery and doing "wipe/factory reset" but still have the same problem.
Never did figure out how to view the FireOS version, but just went ahead and again tried to root with KingRoot, and was successful ... so I guess I was still on 5.3.1. And then was able to successfully flash Nexus ROM!
Kindle 7 rooted from 5.0.1 was working fine the other day but turned it in tonight and the background just keeps flashing up. When I turned it on it quickly flashed up that it was installing an update and that's when the issues started

Could try factory reset in Stock recovery
or reflashing firmware, but if it updated
it would be whatever the newest firmware version is
Try loading TWRP using supertools, if it's still on 5.0.1 twrp will boot. If it boots into twrp, then you could (1) sideload Fire OS 5.0.1 from adb and re-root using supertools or (2) better still if TWRP boots just wipe the system and install the latest nexus rom. It's a massive improvement over fire OS
I can get to the fastboot screen but the supertool isn't picking my kindle up.
I did the data clear/factory reset and now I keep getting the 'installing latest software' screen but it never completes. Left it running all last night..
Sorry for the delay, when the fire is connected to your pc in fastboot what does it show as under device manager.
