Mount your SD card and install a ROM. It should boot normally after install.

 

[bubbleygum52]

Ok this may sound stupid but do you think you would be able to explain that? lik how do i install the ROM and do i mount the sd card from the TWRP menu?

 

[MizzouBrent]

It sounds like you are in fast boot. Boot into recovery instead when the option is there (during the blue screen time). Do youwamt to install a custom ROM? If so, factory reset and wipe cache , dalvik cache and system all while in recovery. Then flash the rom zip file and gapps file if needed. Then when you reboot from recovery be sure to choose "reboot system".

 

[bubbleygum52]

how do you wipe the system?

 

[bubbleygum52]

Is any one able to send pictures of what I am supposed to do? Because i can't

do you know how to get into the recovery page? when you get there, its the 4th button says "wipe" touch that. and you'll see 8 other options. touch cache, itll say are you sure then press the button. then do the same with dalvik cache and system.

Kindle Fire TWRP Tutorial: Creating Backups and Installing Custom ROMs - YouTube
if you watch that you can get a good idea on how the recovery page works. and shows how to install a rom and the location of the wipe options are.

 

[MizzouBrent]

And if you wipe all this stuff you will have to flash a from too.

ok i dont know what the heck is wrong with mine i installed the twrp recovery but im not getting the right page to come up and the yellow triangle isnt coming up either i really need help! Ok this is somewhat of what comes up on my kindle when i choose recovery! except i dont get the wipe system data cache option

 

[bubbleygum52]

ok the first pic is what my kindle says when i press recovery and the second one is the options to press.

 

[agadida]

ohhh your using cwm recovery. thats why we were all getting confused im not really familiar with cwm for the kindle. but if you want heres a video thatll show how to install twrp recovery How to install TWRP 2.0 Recovery on Kindle Fire? - YouTube
and to download it you can go here [RECOVERY]TWRP 2.2.2.0 touch recovery [2012-08-24] - xda-developers and it tells you how to download it. unless someone else is familiar with using cwm. i might try and read up later on it if you prefer to keep that.

 

[bubbleygum52]

ok I will try that thank you I was really confused!

 

[MizzouBrent]

Further, hashcode himself has said to stay away from cwm. You MUST use twrp if you don't want any issues.

 

[bubbleygum52]

ok i got the TWRP and everything so how do i transfer the file for the custom rom onto the kindle fire?

 

[agadida]

just hook your kindle up to your computer and put the rom in a folder. i always put mine in the download folder. then from there boot into recovery, find the rom in the folder you put it in, and install. dont forget to wipe cache, dalvik and system before rebooting.

 

[bubbleygum52]

like the download folder of my computer? sorry im really new at this

 

[bubbleygum52]
