Hi 2 all.
I'm trying to install Custom Recovery (TWRP) on my Kindle Fire 6.2.2.
First of all, I installed BurritoRoot3 root, using steps from this video.
After this, I followed steps from this video. I downloaded version 9.2 (not 9.1 as in video) and ADB rooted said "Yes", not "No" as was in video (actually this was a mistake??)
After pressing 5 daemon has downloaded img files and started to install. On step Activating FastBoot program said:
Code:
< waiting for device >
And my kindle booted with yellow triangle (see below).
On the video (at 3:15) author's kindle had such screen:

But my kindle had this one:

(there was no button at all).
After this my kindle doesn't boot at all - it stucks at screen with yellow triangle and inscription in the bottom says: press power button for recovery, but when i press it nothing happens. When I hold down it for about 10 seconds device turns off.
Kindle Fire Utility 9.2 now doesn't recognize my kindle at all! After pressing 5:
Code:
 ***********************************************
 *             Recovery Installer              *
 ***********************************************

 ***********************************************
 *                   WARNING                   *
 ***********************************************

 Make sure to read each screen carefully!
 Make sure to follow instructions given to you!

 recovery.img has been found.


 ***********************************************
 *                    NOTICE                   *
 ***********************************************


 Installing TWRP...
 If we get stuck here for awhile, power the kindle on and off a few times.
 You should also check device manager for "kindle" If so, rerun the driver
 installer that came packaged with KFU.

 ***********************************************
 *         Activating Fastboot (4002)          *
 ***********************************************

 Oops... something went wrong.
 We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire.
 Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.

< waiting for device >
Are there any suggestions? I'm using my kindle for 1 day. Is it totally bricked now?

adb is'nt working in fastboot - simply select option 1 and bootmode normal one in kfu - when it says <waiting for device> power down the kf by holding pwr for ~20 sec - then power on again - the command should succeed

check the file in kfu recovery directory - should be ~10mb - if not delete it - redo the twrp installation

Thanks it works! Now I can boot normally!

My aim is to install CM7 on kindle fire, but before this I have to install recovery. So how to uninstall root from device to normally install recovery? There's no instructions here. I have uninstalled SuperUser and BurritoRoot3, but KFU still says that my device is rooted. Thanks.

why did you uninstall it ? have you allready patched kfu to work with br3 ?
do it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21749205&postcount=792
then select option 5 to install fff and twrp - boot into twrp and make a backup if you like - now you can tap mount in twrp and copy the cm7.zip to sdcard - install and clear dalvik/cache - reboot - enjoy
