Are you wiping prior to flashing?
Yes, I have followed all the instructions. My kindle is not rooted but I do have CWM and FFF installed. I can't get it to root, it keeps telling me I'm missing a file but it is there.
cwm is pretty buggy right now and not recommended to be used. try [RECOVERY]TWRP 2.2.2.0 touch recovery [2012-08-24] - xda-developers this is twrp recovery. and heres a video thatll help as a visual. How to install TWRP 2.0 Recovery on Kindle Fire? - YouTube

Yes, use TWRP. Hashcode, one of the developers behind CWM, has specifically said not to use CWM because of issues. Get yourself on TWRP and you'll be in business. It has been flawless for me.
