I need help installing the drivers or nothing shows up when I type adb devices, how do I fix?
Go to the link below and download and extract the kindle fire utility, then run the install_driver.bat. It will install the drivers for you.

After it flashes the recovery my fire is stuck at the yellow triangle.
you need to install the drivers again for the kindle while its at that triangle screen. follow the same instructions from my rooting video to install the drivers the same exact way or try running the install driver bat that came with kindle fire utility. once done, your fire should boot up. If it doesnt, change the bootmode to normal with KFU, or read solution below.

how do I install a custom rom now?
follow my cm7 video linked below

When I reboot my fire it just goes straight to TWRP or is stuck at the yellow triangle, what do I do? (BIG thanks to rbbrdman!)
click start, type cmd, press enter. type the following commands (this is assuming u have the kindleadb folder in place on C drive)
cd c:\kindleadb
adb shell
idme bootmode 4000

Seriously, you could've included what to do in the event that there are issues with adb or otherwise. Fail.
