OOOOPS - Wrong forum please disregard

Hi...

I got a Kindle fire HD 7 - tate. I had CM11 (kitkat) running for quite a while now nicely.
Today I decided to upgrade it to CM12.1 - Maybe a fault.

First I flashed TWRP 2.8.3 (previously I had 2.7.0) from xda here. Ok so far. Just it brings some
gibberish on top of the orange "kindle fire" text on boot. But otherwise it seems to work.

I installed CM12.1 nightly from today. Before I did a full wipe in TWRP. Ok so far. It bootet up nicely
in CM. Now I flashed the gapps and rebootet. Ok so far. Everything seemed to work.

But now I maybe made a deadly mistake. I decided to do a factory reset in CM12.1.
(I wanted to make a really fresh and clean install with also running googles first boot wizard).

My KFHD7 shutted down and rebootet. But since now It is stuck in some kind of a loop.
The blue TWRP boot splash appears. Every 2 seconds the screen turns black for a second
then the blue TWRP boot splash comes back and this happens now again and again.

I turned off my tablet by a long press on the power button a couple of times, but it does not help.

Any idea how I can revive my tablet?

Thanks for all your help!

OMG, this exact thing just happened to me tonight. I was trying to wipe the ROM clean to sell the Kindle from within CM12.1. After it rebooted automatically, I went into a teamwin loop blanking every few seconds with a pattern. Just posted a question over on Reddit. I haven't found an answer yet, but upgrading from twrp 2.7.0.0 to 2.8.7.0 changed the repeated teamwin loop into a orange kindle fire loop. With nothing to lose, I'm just going to keep loading stuff via fastboot until something else changes.
