Omg thank you so much it worked! Apparently all it needed was a downgrade on TWRP.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiraffeGiraffe:
Hi! I have troubles installing the drivers I think. As soon as I plug in my kindle, windows 7 will automatically see it's a kindle and install drivers for it. It's listed below "mobile devices" as "Kindle". When I install the drivers from kfu it says they were already installed. I can install either way and it'll say installation was successfull. Regardless how often I uninstall the kindle drivers in device manager and try to install the kfu ones instead, it'll always re install them as soon as I re connect my kindle.

When I run saferoot it always says "waiting for your phone to appear". I have no idea what to do anymore.

don't know, what are you trying to do? just root?

RootMaster Links

Rootmaster apk

or

Rootmaster.exe run from PC

Most android devices are rootable by one or both these options.

These are made by Chinese devs, not open source, but have been used by many people, with no known issues.

I apologize if this is not were I should be asking this, but I just really need help.

I attempted to root my kindle fire (gen one) using the drivers from "Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9" and using "saferoot." And I believe that I was successful, when I turned on my kindle the logo was blue, I could press nothing and it would boot as a normal kindle, or I could load TWRP (v2.2) So it was all good, I just needed a ROM.

When I went looking for a ROM I noticed many wanted something called OtterX, so I found that and went through the process.

Long story short, my kindle would load OtterX then crash, then retry loading OtterX. I was desperate some I ran "EMMC CORRUPTION FIX" that and a little trouble shooting did seem to help, but I have a feeling I've destroyed my machine.

When I turn on my kindle now I get the OtterX kindle fire logo and menu, if I press "recovery boot" it will take me to TWRP (v2.7.1)

I thought all I needed was to load a ROM but when I connect it to my PC it knows it's plugged in, but I can't open any files.

So I used command prompt to push file on the kindle, but when I try install a ROM it never works and gives me mounting errors.

As a side note, when I try to power my kindle form TWRP I get a message that says there is no OS installed.

I know I'm probably a fool for ask, but is there anything I can do to get my kindle working again or have I basically bricked it?

Hey there! Didn't realize there was a Q&A thread til just now. Having some trouble following the steps.

So I tried to follow the manual steps, but when I tried to paste the three .apk files into /system/app it said I didn't have permission!

It only has a power button, so can't use the button combo to get to fastboot. I have Android ADB Interface as the driver, and I'm on Windows 10.

I've tried all the suggested commands on the first 5 pages of this forum and from the How To, to try to get adb to work, including Saferoot and KFU. Nothing is getting it to boot into fastboot, or recovery.

Theres no Dev options, or switching USB modes in the settings.

I can hardly believe the service, thanks again. I've tried installing your prerooted .zip twice now, the second time with wiping system first, and the Kindle still goes into an eternal bootup sequence. After the FFF logo, the regular Kindle logo appears, with the scrolling flash. After each 9 scrolled flashes, the logo disappears, then reappears and the cycle repeats.

Am I now in the territory where I need to do a factory reset? I have backed up my /sdcard in the event that is necessary. I assume the factory reset option in the wipe menu does not undo my FFF and TWRP installation, is that correct?
