Well fuck, semi-bricked my kindle.
Trying to get around having to make a factory cable. Not looking too good so far. Here's a picture for those who are into this thing to realize just how screwed I am.

Can't you totally format it and rejailbreak it ?
No, twrp recovery wiped itself so I can't simply boot into recovery. Everything was wiped, so I can't get shell access to use fastboot or flash a rom directly from there.

I'm an idiot and did a factory reset while I had twrp recovery installed. This is a huge mistake, I had a temporary lapse in judgement. Long story short, I was stuck in a bootloop. So I flashed back to stock 6.2.2 which wiped twrp and left me stuck at the kindle fire logo. That's because it wiped twrp while not flashing any of the operating system files. So I need a factory cable so I can mount /system/bin/ as rw and push all the files I need (/system/bin/su) to the kindle and can get shell access. From there I can boot into fastboot mode and use fastboot to flash over the stock rom.

I did the Factory Reset myself once. But, thankfully was able to advert disaster. However you went ahead and continued and flashed something so now you're stuck.
Could update your drivers and try flashing/fastbooting/whatever it?
Been so long since I've used my kindle T_T

That's the problem. My drivers are perfectly fine, adb recognises it. However /system/bin/shell is missing on the kindle. So I can't flash the stock files back over using fastboot. And I can't push the files to the kindle because the directory isn't writeable. And I need shell access to chmod it to rw access. So I have to make a manufacturer cable so that I can send the files over and unbrick it.

Ah. Yeah, updated drivers for me, and just fastbooted the hell out, and flashed again xD
Whats the process/price for a manufacturer cable? ;o Might want me one of them.
Delete everything, download android (insert version here) gingerbread. Regular tablet.
. No su access, no custom recovery, can't go into fastboot.Wow you guys really into this stuff, and hey Omlette what do you mean by regular tablet ? you can turn it into any android tablet ?
You can install Android 4.0 and it runs the same as other tablets.
