[Kindle Fire General] asterialeve:
My story:

For noobs like me, its hard to fix something when you are unaware that you install an app that will potentially break your device or work inappropriately.

I had my kindle fire as a gift from my husband which is very upsetting to me that I accidentally broke it by just downloading an app that I didn't know it will cause a problem. This kindle fire that I have is important to me because its not just a gadget but its a GIFT from a special someone and its ok to me if I bought it for myself I could prolly buy it again..but its not.. I spent the whole night up searching for answers to fix this thing, took me a day to fix it *sigh* and glad I did.

Well..to make it short and simple to understand: If you downloaded the app that messed up your kindle fire here: http://syndicateapps.com/main/ICS_Releases.html

.I did not rooted my kindle fire before installing this app and I did not install TWRP too to recover it back to its normal state (This iv only known now, because I do not have knowledge about the risks of this app) but Then.. this is a the right simple guide for you.

FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO:

1. If you do not have a USB cable to sync your device to your computer. Get one first

2. Connect your kindle fire using your USB cable and connect it to your computer.

3. Download Kindle Fire Utility http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

4. Extract the Kindle Fire Utility you just downloaded

5. Open up the folder click install_driver this is a windows batch file.

6. After installing, exit the application

7. Open up run from Kindle Fire Utility folder

8. Now you notice you will see alot of choices:

1. Bootmode Menu

2. BurritoRoot <Temporary>

3. Install permanent root with superuser

4. Obtain stock update .zip

5. Install latest TWRP Recovery

6. Extras

0. Recheck device status.

9. Type in number "2" which is : BurritoRoot <Temporary>

10. Did'nt work? , now choose option number "3" which is : Install permanent root with superuser and this will surely work as it worked in mine

*NOTE that some of the options in this utilities doesn't work as for you can't navigate your kindle fire because of that darn spam loop message.

11. Now that you have rooted your kindle fire, we need to go to

option number "6" which is : Extras

12. under extras choose "Install Google apps / Go Launcher Ex

-Now! Its time to go back to your Kindle Fire - At this point you will notice your kindle fire giving you a notification as to which app you want to run as default.

Now is the time to do the right thing, Revert it back to its original state.

"DO NOT CHECK THE BOX"

13. Select "kindle" Launcher and it should navigate you back to default.:D

14. Now you can delete the damned ICS 4.0 app that messed up your Kindle Fire.

and its up to you now if you wanna tweak it still but to me i just deleted all every little trace of that ICS app.:mad:

* This Guide is through my experience that worked for me, I intended to post this one to help newbies like me to recover their kindle fire. because I know how hard to find a guide that its simply to understand. Honestly, Iv been reading all day, and trust me, not even a single word they are mentioning that I understand. I even asked customer service help for kindle fire, didnt helped me either. I just tried it ALL-around and I almost broke my Alienware laptop because of this darn app, good thing I used my other laptop to do repair on my kindle fire *sigh*.
