Default Did I brick Kindle?

i updated it to modaco 6.2.2, don't know why but did a factory reset in the settings menu. it deleted everything. only left with twrp folder, still able to get into recovery. tried reflashing modaco zip, but says unable to open zip.
can i flash a stock rom?

Yes you should probably flash something. That's why you always make a backup

Ok, This happened to me on my DHD, Try to fastboot a recovery and flash it. Use the one doomlord made then Flash. BUT before you do that make sure to have the update on your sdcard.

I was in the same situation last month. The only solution for me was to flash the stock ROM and start over from scratch.

I followed these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...99&postcount=1 I've never tried it with a pre-rooted ROM, so YMMV. Like I said I flashed this and started the root process over from scratch and this is what worked.

NOT TRUE. You are just stuck in recovery mode. View the thread for how to get out. I would post a link but I'm mobile..
