So I'm installing TWRP, using kindle fire utility, when I press 5 to instal twrp is says: "The Kindle has been told to reboot in fastboot mode" And then it gets stuck at the Kindle Fire boot screen, then I have to put back into normal boot mode, this has been a problem for about 2 hours now and is getting really annoying.
I am having the same problem. I can't even get into fastboot mode it just hangs...
is this your first time rooting?

Yes it is.
Did you do the permenate root option first?
I did the tutorial on here that was step by step for noobs. I don't know if it was a permanent version or not but anytime I open the checker it shows as rooted.
I can access adb no problems and it finds my device but whenever I do fastboot it hangs on waiting for device no matter how many times I try.

So, I was super excited because last time I tried to Root my Kindle, I ended up having to get it replaced and told myself I would NEVER do this again... well I was wrong.. and I went back and tried to do it again.. and well I am back where I was before...
SO maybe there is something I must be missing...
Let me start out at the beginning.
1. I started my Kindle.... the Kindle Fire Logo popped up and then went to the ICS Boot animation. After that.. nothing happened.. just continually goes through ICS boot animation.
2. SO, I thought.. hmm Maybe I can get ADB to detect it and be able to put it into fastboot or even put it through TWRP... Nope. I opened up KFU and it says that its offline and Unknown. So it can't tell that its there... however! When I went into the Device Manager... it says Amazon with a big Yellow Exclamation mark! So Maybe I have to fix the drivers? I am not sure... I just don't think it makes it far enough to go into fastboot. It knows that it exists... but doesn't go any farther... I also know that when I boot it.. the FFF logo doesn't show up... so maybe thats also a bad thing...
3. I tried running fastboot directly through the CMD line and it didn't work. Stays stuck on "waiting for device" after doing that fastboot idme bootmode 4000 commands...
4. I tried Hard resetting it... I tried letting it sit there for a few minuets.
Any other suggestions?! Thanks!!
I also am using Windows 7 64 bit.
fastboot initializes within the 1st few seconds of each boot.
turn off kindle then run script then turn on kindle.
the script should run

if your getting to the ics boot animation then you are not stuck in fastboot anyway + if your pc says waiting for device then you can not be in fastbootmode otherwise the script would run.
how did you install the ics rom, was it with twrp?
if so can you boot into twrp?
i would say your drivers are screwed and you have installed a bad rom (which rom did you flash)?
I was using ICS Energy Rom. I don't know if it was the latest one..
I get to the ICS animation... What should I do? What script do you mean?
No :/ Not able to access the TWRP. I see no Blue Kindle Fire Logo.. it just does a normal Kindle Fire logo and then to the ICS Boot Animation... Is there any way to do this?
Maybe I didn't "Hard reset" it right? What do I need to do to Hard reset?

Does this Kindle Fire logo have an android on top of it?
If it doesn't and you are unable to access the ROM or ADB in any way, your only choice is to get a factory cable.
Alright guys... I've been trying to do this myself for days. Out of no where, my KF 1st gen just got stuck at the "kindle fire" logo. I never rooted it. I never did anything to it. I searched Google and found that this is a common problem with many options to fix. Here I am days later, and I've tried EVERYTHING. I literally cannot find a thread anymore with an option I haven't tried.
I have Windows 8 and I got the drivers installed using the force unsigned drivers stuff. I ended up getting to the point where I can see "Android ADB Interface" and sometimes "Android Composite ADB Interface" in my device manager, with no exclamation points. You'd think I was good to go at that point, but when I use "adb devices" (after kill-server) -- My device isn't listed. I've uninstalled the drivers countless times. I've use KFU. I've tried the Kindle Unbrick Utility v1.1. I've installed the drivers manually over and over and over. NOTHING I do can get the device found.
I even purchased a factory cable. It arrived today, and it doesn't help at all. I found "firekit" and I put Ubuntu on a USB drive. Same outcome... device not found.
I'm losing my mind over here. I cannot figure this out and I promise you... I have tried everything. I hate to start my own threads to ask questions because 99.99% of the time someone else has already had your problem, but I'm so defeated I just have no other choice at this point.
I'm begging for help! :crying:
edit: I just decided to start messing with KFU to see what would happen (despite the ADB Status: Offline message). Doing certain things like telling it to reboot to fastboot mode returns a "device not found". However, telling it to reboot to recovery actually made it reboot. So then I just decided to select option #2 "install permanent root" and then it rebooted and I see "kindle fire" with the blue fire logo. It said "device not found" but it still did that anyways. Currently waiting to see what happens... I figure it can't get any worse than I already am so I just started clicking ****, haha.
edit 2: I literally have no idea wtf just happened, but I just stumbled my way very messily through some stuff that seemed to partially work. My ADB Status said "online" for a second, but it's back offline I'm also in TWRP now, on my KF. I guess I moved forward, somehow. Going to do more research on what to do from this point.
You need twrp version 2.2.2.1 or lower to reinstall stock kindle rom

I'm on twrp 2.6.3.1 and I don't plan on going back to a stock rom, since I've already gone done this path. I'll see if I can get CM11 on here. I feel like something is still a bit off, but I'm trying my best
Is it possible to flash CM11 without loading it to the internal SD card first? I have no way of doing that because the KF currently just hangs at the orange "Kindle Fire" boot logo when I go into normal mode. I tried the Kindle Unbrick Utility's "Stuck at logo" option but it fails
edit: nevermind, I just realized I can mount from TWRP. Durrrrr
edit 2: sweet baby jesus I did it! I'm on CM11. I honestly have no idea why it worked Of course I am working on this for 5+ days and the second I finally make a post, I get it working.
Yes in twrp mount sd card to pc, copy rom and gapps, unmount, wipe data, install rom and gapps wipe caches, reboot

It just causes confusion.
Glad you got it.
I have been up and down all the sites and recovery methods.
ISSUE:
In an attempt to root my Zenfone 2 (2.19.40.22 Lollipop) the tool I was using seemed to get stuck looking for my device. This was after installing a fastboot, or an attempt I believe. After a minute or so I noticed the phone screen was constantly showing the USB Logo.
I can turn on my phone and use it no problem. HOWEVER, I cannot POWER + VOL UP, to enter the bootloader. It just goes back to that USB Logo with the White Bar under it. And I have to power off and ON my phone again to get back to normal operation.
As you can imagine this makes it rather difficult to flash anything or use the ADB Tools whatsoever. Is there anything I can do to get that back, or am I doomed with a phone that can never be rooted?
[The tool that started this whole issue was the TWRPRecovery-Install]
Twrp tool only installs twrp recovery which you need an unlocked boot loader to install, so it should have never been used, can you use adb from the phone in normal operation? Can you get into recovery at all? Sometimes you can boot to recovery from adb shell when phone is in normal boot. Most of the solutions I can think of requires root but if you figure out how to get to recovery you can sideload a full update file to restore everything

And I am not sure if it will work now, but there is a one click root tool for this phone you could try it, but if you have an unusable bootloader it may not work, let me do some research for other options, may not find anything but we'll see

Thanks for the info. I clearly followed the wrong guide. I did try the One Click Tool but again it goes straight to the USB logo. Its odd, if it was broken or deleted your imagine there would be a way to fix or reinstall it.

That is generally considered bricked... Only ASUS can fix for now....
So, I am a victim of the McAfee killswitch. I rooted my phone, then unlocked bootloader, but I made a mistake and had to flash kdz. For some reason, the kdz i downloaded was locked in mcaffee, so i really struggled but managed to install twrp, and of course root. The phone worked fine for a long time, but then I messed up and got a bootloop. The thing is, my killswitch is engaged now, so I can't just go into TWRP and wipe, or go into download mode. Both locked. And if i try to boot normally I just get the loop... So my questions are: Is there a way to get into TWRP directly (without having to confirm, phone could reboot to recovery just fine). Or just flash kdz, i don't know, anything. ADB shows device offline and sometimes unathorized, fastboot doesn't detect it. LG service said it will only fixed if i replace everything. Any help?
Sounds like you need togoba I to stock using lg flash tool

Try using the kHz method if your computer will reconize your phone. Use LG flashtool 2014 it will put your phone in download mode for you

Kdz
How will it put my phone into download mode? If i click start, it says the phone is not connected to the computer. My computer can see the device as ADB device, but only offline or unauthorized.
When I used it my phone was stuck on the LG screen. Flashtool found my device and started the upgrade then it booted my phone into download mode
That does not work for me.. The program is stuck at 60% and telling me phone is not connected.
The only other option I can think of would be to a hard factory reset. Make sure your phone is off then hold down power and volume down together when the LG logo appears keep holding them. It should take you to that menu
I already said I can't go into recovery like that, because there is a killswitch activated on my phone.

I guess it will be very hard to flash KDZ or TOT cause you need to put your phone to download mode or need to connect ADB. following the post.

You saved me, thanks a lot!!!
I had my Kindle 5gen, with CM11 and i wanted to install another rom. The problem was that, because of multiple thing, the recovery was set to amazons, lost the boot access and only could enter in recovery to adb or fastboot. The problem got even worst when i installed a Firmware "update-kindle-37.5.2.2_user_522053820" so it could boot as a fire.
Now it doesnt turn on. I connect it to the PC and i can hear it conecting and disconecting. In Device manager i can see it conecting as a Unknown device and then into MT65xx preloader. The thing is that all this happens fast so i cant do anything to stop it and i tried holding the Power bottom and the power and up bottom as well.
I really dont know what to do now. Search everywhere with no luck.
Tried Amazon Fire 5th gen super tool, tried soupkit with cygwin64 and kindle unbrickv01 and nothing...
Im desperated...
