A lot of post are about being 5.x.x and can't access recovery mode but I am on 4.5.3 and I have flashed TWRP before on this firmware. I used the CM-11 rom and realized it's only Android 4.4.4 and needed Android 5.x.x well i flashed back to stock fire os and the stock firmware still 4.5.3
MY problem:
When i boot into recovery mode it just shows "Amazon" and reboots back to stock OS, I have root and flashify it just won't boot into recovery. Any help?
Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue with pretty much the same scenario. I can boot to the bootloader/fastboot mode but recovery is not working.
I've tried some of the bootloder unlock methods to try to flash recovery but to no success. Other than that, the table boots to the stock ROM ok, but that's really no fun. I can't even factory reset because that needs recovery, lol.

What version of FireOS?
If you're on 4.X root it and flash a working recovery with dd.

There's ONE solution.. It's not easy...
You can flash recovery with aftv-tools but IDK the recovery adress. Maybe @bibikalka can help us?

Unfortunately, the aftv-tools were patched a while ago, sneaky Amazon updated boot0 on firehd 2014 via some hidden data in either LK or TEE1. So that method won't work.
So without a recovery or root there are really no options.
Now, there is always the path to trigger the BootRom mode via some contacts (as on other models), but nobody spent the time yet to figure that out:

Nice pics. Maybe with root you can easy brick it an enter to bootROM mode no?
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0
echo 'EMMC_BOOT' > /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0
md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0

But if I have root already, why would I mess with Bootrom??? I don't have amonet for this device, so I would essentially brick a working tablet

Yep, you're right.. It needs to be ported to MT8135 and it qould be difficult... The only user that knows how to do it is @k4y0z.
He needs the tablet for test it.

I managed to get the stock Amazon recovery on to the fire tablet on 5.6.10 using EX Kernel Manager and from there could sideload the OS i needed to get back in to TWRP.

Flash the zip file attached using TWRP recovery and you are rooted. :good:
I must be missing some steps
I must have missed some initial steps at some point. I've tried to install TWRP using Mobileuncle Tools and SPFlash Tools without success.
When I try to start my phone into bootloader mode, I get a warning that the function is turned off for security.
What am I doing incorrectly?
Thanks in advance! I appreciate your good works!

I'm sorry that it has taken so long to reply. Summer is crazy around here. Look up "chaos" in the dictionary and you will find my picture beside the definition!
My phone, actually today, updated to Android 6. So, I will need to root it over again. As soon as that happens, I'll get rid of that KingRoot bs.
Again, thanks for your help!

So just to clarify, all I have to do is fastboot to twrp? I don't need to install it? It's confusing. "Boot to recovery and had TWRP"?? Never rooted a phone before. If somebody could go into greater detail, that would be great.
To get root and TWRP.
Credit to Foltz61.
1. Boot to bootloader.
2. Fastboot boot TWRP-L.img
3. Install supersu-2.49.zip (even though I didn't lose root)
4. Reboot back to system.
5. Reboot back to bootloader.
6. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-L.img.
7. fastboot reboot.
8. Boot to recovery and had TWRP

I'm pretty sure that video only applies to the Jellybean stock from for the HAM2. Am I wrong? I'm on the Lollipop rom.

You were eventually able to install twrp though right? Seems pretty straight forward and easy. Unlock bootloader, setup adb on comp, enable adb on phone, boot into twrp, flash custom recovery.

Nope. I missed that the unlock part was necessary! Thank you for giving the details though!!!!
When I figured that Device Only mode gives decent GPS use for maps, directions, and Pokémon Go I just decided to leave it be. Plus all this concern with root and Pokémon Go not working. I don't play much but I keep my phone as backup when my son's battery dies.
Thanks again!

I downgraded to run kingroot, installed twrp, and then CM11
Worked fine, but I wasnt happy with some of the issues that CM11 has currently so I flashed 5.3.1.0 from twrp and its working fine but I dont have root (not that big a deal) and I cant get to recovery mode, not by doing adb reboot recover or by holding the volume button at poweron. Any idea where to start?

Not having root is a great deal, cause with root you could have used a certain tutorial got get TWRP back and flash whatever. I'm in a similar situation, no root too, and can't figure out what to do

Yes if I had root I could fix it, I just meant in the end I don't need the device to be rooted, just want some kind of recovery just in case

Command should be "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p40 of=/external_sd/boot.img" then, and don't forget to mount micro sd in twrp first.
Ofc it works fine to execute command from adb shell when booted to twrp, which makes it a bit easier to type.
When I try to boot from patched image, phone is stuck on 'Android One' logo.
I'm on firmware version OPENEU_9.0_PPK29.68-16-21. I guess this firmware version isn't rootable .
Well, I'll wait for some custom ROM to enjoy rooted phone (maybe that Ressurection Remix ROM which was announced few days ago) .

That's understood, but if you're booted to twrp, then "of=/external_sd/boot.img"" is pretty much your only option since internal is encrypted.

I would like to, but is there some way of backing up stock ROM? I know that current version of TWRP has some issues with /data partition, that's why I ask .
And what about installing this ROM? Would I need to use that TWRP we have now? Is it safe?

Well, you have different software channel, I think that's the only reason why it works for you and it doesn't work for me . OPENEU seems to be bulletproof. (I have XT1941-4 too)

i successfully flashed twrp on my a10 yesterday thanks to the help of some users on here. the plan was and still is to rpelace the os with a non google one. everything went ok. the phones was and still is oem unlocked, the phone reports as it did yesterday that there was a none samsung offical software on there so i assume twrp is still present for but for some reason i can't boot into it. booting with power and volume up goes into the old recovery men with no mention of twrp, and the volume up/down boot goies into the old download menu. do i need to reflash twrp or am i missing something?
Much gratitude to you.
