Last night I got the forced 6.2.2 update that broke root. I was able to get root back using burritoroot2. But no matter what I tried I couldnt get twrp back. So I tried this CWM based recovery and it worked. I have it running now on my 6.2.2 rooted Fire. Just did a full back up. So far so good. Im just glad to have recovery again. Thanks for this.
Heres what Ive been able to do. Full backup, reboot to system, reboot to recovery, and mount usb storage.

Ok, so I was over at friends for dinner and then I wanted to perform a backup in anticipation of tonights beta1 test and left the KF on the couch in recovery mode... and my friends kids got ahold of the KF........ :/
After dinner I found it in perpetual fastboot mode with the SDcard erased and no image in /system... which means they wiped both my SDCard and then my whole image!!! Luckily I had my laptop in my car so I simply restored my SDCard and fastbooted a backup back in.
I am not sure how they did it as theyre not even past the "See Dick Jump Jane" reading level but they did it.
which means we need to be extra careful when the device is in recovery mode... I dont think they would have succeeded if it was my Vision left on the couch vs the Fire with touchscreen....
anyway - this prompts two ideas..
1. additional prompts at the Factory Reset option (do you reeally really really want to do this) and at the Format SDCard option.
EDIT - and this is how I flash recovery

hehe kids can figure out stuff
Factory reset already has a "are u sure prompt"
lets see if i have time i might add prompts to those format options...
I am on a tour right now... will not be available for discussions for a while...
Flashed beta1 and its much better than last... did everything on the menu and not one problem at all... except for getting sent to no mans land in key test... still cant find that trapdoor to get back. did backup restore flashed update.zip and emmcV3 and then flashed ICS played with full reboot menu liked how i can reboot into fastboot so i can flash a new recovery... but whatever.. good release... ready for next test.
now one suggestion and ill stop with suggestions after this... i liked it how CWM on the Vision would turn on when the device was off and charging... folks saw this as a bug but i saw it as feature and then that was patched up. Since Fire only has one button and i dont really like pushing that button to get to recovery (itll wear out faster) it would be killer if CWM could turn on when charging so when someones done charging and ready to turn oon device they can start right off in CWM. People can either just reboot system or start off with CWM utilities.
