Hello,

I have a kindle fire 2 and recently rooted it using this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2075959, and then I used this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...light=recovery, to add twrp so I can flash CM. Everything seemed to go well except that I am unable to enter recovery mode. When booting normally it works fine and loads into the kindle OS but obviously, I want to replace that. I have tried searching the forums and trying a few different things but so far nothing has worked. I'm open to any suggestions or ideas.

You try "adb reboot recovery"? Or a similar from a terminal or adb shell like this: su -c "reboot recovery"
That should get it to recovery, if it doesn't then consider reflashing recovery and check the md5sum of the files this time to make sure it's intact.

I tried this already and made sure to check the md5sum. Ill try reflashing again. Thanks for the help! Hmm the reboot recovery seems to give me a red triangle.

Flash 2.6.3.1 I had issues not booting into twrp with 2.6.3.0 and had to search other places to find 2.6.3.1 for hte kf2. After I flashed to the update from ADB it booted recovery just fine.
