How to Return to Stock: from kindle fire wire

I’ve received numerous requests to show how to restore to the stock Kindle Fire interface after

For that reason, I’ve decided it would be appropriate to release this video tutorial that shows you how to do just that.

To accomplish this tutorial, you will need a few things:

Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.1
Kindle Fire Software Update 6.2.1

This tutorial also assumes you have an ADB connection to your Kindle Fire since you used ADB to get CyanogenMod or whatever custom firmware you’re using to begin with. To learn more, about ADB, check out our Kindle Fire rooting tutorial and our CyanogenMod 7 tutorial.

How to Restore Your Kindle Fire to the Stock Kindle Interface

Step 1: Download the Kindle Fire Utility and the Kindle Fire Software Update using the links above. Place both on your desktop and extract the Kindle Fire Utility folder.

Step 2: Rename the update-kindle-6.2.1_D01E_3103920.bin to update.zip

Step 3: Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer via micro USB. Open the Kindle Fire’s root folder, and drag to update.zip file from your desktop to the root folder. If another update.zip already exists, rename that file to update_old.zip and then drag the update.zip from your desktop to the room folder.

Step 4: Open the Kindle Fire Utility folder and run run.bat as an administrator and select option 5 and press enter. If you get a error stating We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire, you may have to reinstall your Kindle Fire’s drivers. See our rooting tutorial for more details. If all else fails you can use SuperOneClick’s advanced tab to Check for drivers. See video for more information.

Step 5: Your Kindle Fire should reboot to the yellow flame logo. This is the TWRP 2.0 Recovery. This will allow you to recover to the stock Kindle 6.2.1 firmware.

Step 6: Hold the power button until it turns orange, and eventually you will see a selection of menus.

Step 7: Tap Wipe > Cache > Wipe Cache > Back

Step 8: Tap Dalvik-Cache > Wipe Dalvik-Cache > Back

Step 9: Tap the Home Icon > Install > Update.zip > Flash

Step 10: Tap Reboot System and you Kindle Fire will reboot back to your stock 6.2.1 Kindle Fire interface!

That’s pretty much it. It’s super easy to restore your Kindle Fire. The hardest part for me was getting the driver to be recognized again. Using SuperOneClick cleared that up.
