Hello,

I've been working on a KF that was previously rooted - and now will only boot to this screen:
Attached - BootScreen

I was able to previously access TWRP, but now after trying to wipe the kindle, it will no longer boot to that.

When accessing the KF via a fastboot cable, this is how the device is recognized:
Attached - Driver

Running options in KFU, I receive:
Attached - KFU

I've had the most luck with the "KINDLE FIRE HD System.img Recovery Tool"
Attached - SystemImage
It allows me to remotely reboot my kindle, and says that it successfully writes a new image on the device(downloaded a fresh blank one) but the KF will boot to the yellow triangle screen every time thereafter regardless.

Any other suggestions on what I could do?

Did you use option 3 to restore the factory recovery? That should fix your issue. This is a Kindle fire HD right? Not a Kindle fire 2.

My model is D01400.

Option 3 confirmed that it worked, but upon rebooting the Kindle it still goes to the yellow triangle screen.

You have an original Kindle Fire 8GB. Don't use any utility unless for a Kindle Fire or you will hard brick your tablet.

Don't use the fastboot cord, your stuck in fastboot. That's what that yellow triangle is. Use your USB cord and read up a bit, you should be able to recover just fine. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2037513
