I am stuck in the boot loop with standard rom installed.
What I think I did was I edited the png files in the update.zip file. (Used paint)
then i installed the edited rom on my fire with TWRP.
I cleared the cache(s)
Then I rebooted.
When the fire started up i showed the Kindle Fire Logo. (no TWRP or FIREFIREFIRE Triangle)
AND IT STUCK there.
I used the KFU to check it and it says:
ABD:Offline
Boot Status: 4002
Fastboot status: offline
I dont know how to fix this
Please help
Thanks.......
First you need to get the adb working. Based on your post, the KFU doest recognize your KF.
I recommend to configure your PC to use Android composite driver to communicate to KF., then use KFU to do next steps such as installing FFF or recovery tool or ROM.

Thanks But Still Not working
ADB doesnt see my kindle still,
And the program you sent didnt do a thing.
Every option keeps telling me device not found, or just waiting for device.
Can I use push to re copy the photos i edited?

You need to install drivers as ADB Composite, or else you'll probably be stuck there forever. The device not found error is due to a lack of working drivers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22342376&postcount=6
and check the adb_usb.ini file in your .android folder in your personal folder
it has to be existent and has to include 0x1949 (i use to add 0x18d1 in a separate line also)
without this folder/file/entries adb will never work !
if they are missing just create this folder and copy the file from c:\kfu\drivers\kindle
Kindle Fire boot loop problem
I still have a boot loop issue with my kindle fire which I just received some days ago (right, I had only 1 day to use it until first the web browser started closing when calling a page, then after repoot, the boot process does not finish, still seeing the kindle fire logo). draining the battery did also not solve the issue.
I installed the android sdk, the usb drivers, configured them and the kindle fire is recognized as device.
Afterwards I installed the Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.3, and tried it, with no success. Here the results:
Activity: kindle fire started (boot logo visible) - plugged it into the pc - started kfu

--> after the last action, during the script running, the kindle fire does automatically deactivate and activate the driver on the pc (while the kindle still displays the kindle fire logo).
Does anybody have an idea how I can get this thing up and running again?
if the kf is'nt booting up normally kfu may have problems
i assume you don't have fff & twrp installed - right ?
you can try to install it with option 5
if it says <waiting for device> power it off by holding the pwr button for ~20sec till it turns of - pwr on again - the command should resume and finish
or install manually
tell about the progress

right, fff and twrp are not installed. I tried option 5, which prompts the following result:

Make sure to follow instructions given to you

If we get stuck here for awhile, power the kindle on and off a few times.
You should also check device manager for "kindle" If so, rerun the driver

< waiting for device >
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After power-off by holding the power button for sth. about 20 sec. and power on
nothing happens, kfu is still waiting for the device.
how can I install manually?
it's a good practice to move kfu to c:\ and rename it to "kfu" so that it is c:\kfu
- copy recovery.img from c:\kfu\recovery to c:\kfu\tools (check it is ~10mb)
- open a (elevated) command prompt and cd to c:\kfu\tools
- issue "fastboot -i 0x1949 boot recovery.img"
- in case it says <waiting for device> do as in my last post
Kindle Fire Stuck in Boot Loop
I also tried this, but still after power-off and power-on the <waiting for device> does not disappear.
Any other ideas?
what it telling the device manager under android phone ?
normal & recovery boot: -> android composite adb interface
fastboot: -> android adb interface
just reviewed your post - correct me if i'm wrong
- your on stock os 6.2.2
- not rooted
- no fff & twrp
- stuck on "kindle fire" static or animated ?
Kindle Fire Stuck in Boot Loop
The device manager tells me :
Android Composite ADB Interface
I cannot tell the fastboot interface though I am not able to start with fastboot.
Concerning your questions for verification:
- Android OS version: I am not sure which version I have, I didn't check the day I received the device, and the second day it did not boot correct.
- not rooted
- no fff & twrp
- static boot logo, stuck with
could you please try to issue the following commands from command prompt in c:\kfu tools:
"adb devices"
and
"adb shell"
please paste the results
just to verify my guess ...

sure, the results are:

hey cool - thought the shell is messed up - it's not - you can get to fastboot - great
would suggest to follow this thread starting at point 2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21803658&postcount=29
and your allready downloaded twrp is recovery.img not twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
simply adapt the corresponding command in the above thread
is you want stock rom i would suggest to use a prerooted stock rom (i prefer the unsecure version):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22393194&postcount=20
Just wondering
Did my changing the stock logo images (png) inside the zip file have anything to do with why the Kindle Fire gets stuck at the logo?
Is there a way with ADB to push the correct images to replace the edited ones?
This seems logical to me as thats what I did and now it is hung on the logo.
Please I'm desperate because Amazon wont even help me cause im canadian
They said they would replace it no problem until I gave my address, and then it was Ohhhh Im msoooo sorry (my butt)
Thanks to all who have responded to the cries of a desperate man.
Update
I have found out that the kindle is mounted read only.
my device now shows
need to know how to change mount to r/w
can i do this with adb?
Kindle Fire Stuck in Boot Loop
hey b63, there is some progress, thank you!
now I have the screen on my kindle where i can select various things, like "advanced settings", "reboot", etc.
how do I install the rom you mention and do I need it to be able to boot without getting stuck again?

I a newbie and I am trying to change my bootanimation.
I have
HTC Desire
OS: Android 2.2 (froyo) I updated it though OTA
HBoot: 0.93.0001
Radio: 5.09.05.30_2
Actually my device was unlocked but branded with UK O2 and loaded with Android 2.1 (Eclair). I used GOLDCARD procedure to make the device unbranded and then updated the OS. I also rooted the device using unrevoked 3.21 and it was successful.
Now the last thing I want to do is to change the bootanimation and I cant make it work. I am using rootexplorer to copy the bootanimation.zip file to
/system/customize/resources
/data/local
But no luck .. the bootanimation screen remains the same “HTC quietly brilliant”
I am also trying to copy bootanimation.zip file in
/system/media
But after copying the file use to disappear. I cant see you though root explorer. I never checked by using "ls" command. Can you please help me guys

you cant write to /system/ when the device is booted even if your rooted, because we dont have an unlocked spl yet the nand protection prevents it, you need to put your device into recovery, and use adb to push the bootanimation.zip to /system/customise/resource/ and if that dosent work try pushing it to /system/media/

this seems to be the remedy to your problem acording to that thread
simplyphp said:
The ADB server binds and listen to port 5037. If that port is taken and/or if the daemon is already running, you'll see that error message.
Start task manager and kill adb.exe (all the instances of it).
If that don't work, try rebooting your computer and your phone, and trying again.
If it still don't work, try this:

Hello there
so i rooted my kindle on the 6.2.1 and i had no problem
after that i used BUrito 2 to root 6.2.3
and strangely the super user app didnt work
so when the 6.3 was released updated my device and followed the method below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24124828#post24124828
my device got stuck on yellow triangle and got an error on the cmd waiting for device .
so i searched that and fixed it using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422832
and continued using the ADB command .
and this didnt work .
i tried the KFU (witch is a great tool)
didn't also help
whenever i load the super user app it crash and give me an error
"the application super user(process com.noshufu.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly.please try again and a button Force close
tried to run SU Update fixer
it get stuck on gaining root access result fail solution download and flash and update zip fromandroissu.com
am not sure now why i cant root my device
can some expert direct me please
am thinking to reset to factory default and test but am not sure if that will work and i have FBmode on my device i dont want to lose my apps either .
would suggest to redo according to jcases thread and take care to not miss a point - maybe redownload the superuser.apk
and which version of kfu ? 0.9.4 ?

then reboot - maybe this helps ...
same problem
I'm having the same problem using KFU 0.9.4 and 0.9.5. Root seems to work perfectly, but when the device reboots I do not have root. I don't even have superuser in my apps. When trying to install google apps I get "permission denied" for the last three apps due to not having root.

Yeah, KFU 0.9.5 doesn't seem to be fully baked yet on 6.3 either. I tried installing the Google Apps and ran into permission issues also.

Well, I have the same problem drumaster12 has, i used KFU v0.9.5 the rooting process went smoothly but superuser wasn't there plz someone reply and thx for all of you guys.
FYI... according to the development thread, an updated version of KFU is forthcoming. So at the moment the best course of action is to wait and see.

6.3 root method
First off long time lurker first time poster here.
I got one of these kindles from the sale and was able to get root. I've unrooted and tried again and got root again so there are two different problems. 1 - Sometime superuser.apk doesn't get installed and 2 - The Play market doesn't get installed. I used 2 different methods to over come this. hopefully they'll help.
First steps to root with Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.5
1 - With the kindle not connected run the install_drivers.bat
2 - Connect the kindle and push disconnect when it comes up
3 - Run option 2 - "Install Permanent Root with Superuser"
4 - Run option 5 - "Install Latest FireFireFire"
5 - Run option 3 or 4 - "Install Latest TWRP/Clockwork Recovery"
Once those 5 steps are done you have 2 options to get superuser and play market
Option 1 (Easiest)
Since you now have FireFireFire and a custom recovery simply wipe and flash pre-rooted 6.3 rom This is the one I used [ROM] Stock rooted 6.3
Once that is flashed run Kindle Fire Utility again and in the Extra menu run option 5 - Mount Read/Write
Then run option 1 - Install Google Apps / Go Launcher EX
This is the easiest method the rom is already rooted and has busybox seems pretty fast too.
Option 2 (More involved)
After the initial 5 steps:
1a - run the extras option and Install google Apps / Go launcher EX (the last three will fail but that's ok)
1b - close Kindle Fire Utility and open a command prompt (start button type cmd)
2 - In the command prompt type: "cd " now drag and drop the tools folder that is inside the Kindle Fire Utility folder. (make sure you put a space after cd before you drop the tools folder on the command prompt.) This will auto fill in the path to tools folder. Push enter.
3 - Type "adb install " Drag and drop Superuser.apk located inside the files folder of kindle fire utility. This auto fills the path to Superuser.apk and push enter
4 - Now you need to install a root file explorer of your choice. I used ES File Explorer. *Important* the version of ES File Explorer from the amazon market is too old and will not work. Go To: http://www.estrongs.com/en/download.html and downloaded the latest version.
4b - Install the .apk you just downloaded by typing "adb install " and drag the .apk from your downloads folder and drop it on the command prompt and push enter
5 - Now you need to enable your kindle to drag and drop files to it. On the kindle: Tap the top status bar and tap "USB is Connected"
6 - go to the Kindle Fire Utility directory -> apps -> system. In this folder there are three .apk's GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk and Vending.apk Copy all three to the root of your "sdcard" on your kindle. (Drag and drop to your kindle)
7 - On kindle tap disconnect. You should see ES File Explorer icon on your carosel Tap to open it. In ES File explorer Tap menu at the bottom and tap settings.
8 - Under "Path settings" Check the box "Up to Root"
9 - Under "Root settings" Check the box "Root Explorer" Tap "yes" on the popup and tap "allow" on the super user window.
10 - Under "Root settings" check "Mount File System"
11 - now your ready to copy the files. Tap back to go back to the sdcard. Tap "Select" on the top toolbar. Select by taping the three .apks you copied over. Once all three are selected Tap "Copy" on the top toolbar
12 - Tap "Up" on top toolbar. Tap "system". Tap "app" and Finally tap "Paste" on top toolbar.
13 - Reboot your kindle and you should now have the Market working on your kindle.
Note this is what worked for me. I've done it both ways as well as rooting with out Kindle Fire Utility and just jcase's method. Regardless of the method to root one of these two methods were required to get market running.
Hope this helps someone.
ndpete, like I said in the other thread, SuperUser worked fine, your version of ES File Explorer worked fine, but I still get the permissions issues when installing Market. I'm at my wit's end here.
ok, this is funny.
i got the 6.3 update so I've lost the root and this is confirmed by root explorer. But:
.- i can install apps from the market
,- i can watch videos from the Amazon service.
any ideas?
I mean, I don't need to root anymore, since everything works just fine.

this is great! thanks so much for the guide!
also a quick question... this worked for me but i still have a limited (i.e can't download DC comics, draw something, etc.. etc..) android market (or play market) for some reason. is there any way to change that?
Well, I have been searching for several days and have not found my exact problem. While installing TWRP on my Kindle Fire it rebooted and is now stuck on the Kindle Fire logo. Rather than becoming immediately static, it flashes dim and bright a couple of times like it is booting and then becomes static.
I have Android Composite ADB Interface in Device Manager.
When I run KFU it shows...
ADB Status: Online
Boot Status: Unknown
When I choose 1 for Boot Mode Menu and then 1 for Normal (4000) it shows
***********************************************
* Activating Normal (4000) *
***********************************************
The system cannot find the drive specified.
3198 KB/s (510876 bytes in 0.156s)
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
The kindle has been told to reboot in Normal Mode.
Press any key to continue . . .
And the Kindle reboots.
Now here is the wierd part...
C:\kfu\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
7842002600000001 device
hmmmm. It responded. It also responds normally to adb push and adb pull.
But, when I run adb shell I get...
C:\kfu\tools>adb shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
I am stumped. ADB seems to partially respond but is pretty much useless. I have ordered a factory cable but it will be a couple of weeks coming from Hong Kong, and even then, I'm not sure it will help.
Has anyone seen this particular problem before?
I've never had this problem myself, but I was capable of doing a Google search for the error message you posted and this is what I've found:

Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium
Hi,
I recently got a new Kindle fire and tried to root it.
I followed the instructions given in this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568340
However, my kindle fire seems to be stuck in an infinite boot loop after first step itself.
Here are the step I followed (I am using Windows 7 32bit).
1. Installed android sdk.
2. Updated the Kindle driver to install "android abd composite interface"
3. Downloaded all the required files in the platform-tools folder
Required files:
fbmode.zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1414832
twrp2 - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/79
su - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/kindlefire/su
firefirefirefire http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1369405
fastboot + adb for your OS of choice.
4. Followed following commands:
unzip fbmode.zip
adb push fbmode /data/local/fbmode
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/fbmode
adb shell /data/local/fbmode
adb reboot
5. After this, my kindle fire seems to have stuck in an infinite boot loop.
- It starts up only when a USB cable is connected.
- Power light is orange and not green
- It starts up Kindle Fire logo comes up, then shuts down again
- My computer is not detecting any device, probably because KF is in an infinite boot loop
- When I run adb devices -- no devices show up
- When I run fastboot command [fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader .....] it says "waiting for devices"
- When I remove the USB cable from KF, It doesn't powers on (even after long pressing the power button).
- I tried many things posted on different forums on two laptops (Windows 7 32 bit as well as 64 bit) and using different USB cables but nothing worked.
- Only thing I haven't tried is Factory cable as I don't have it and don't have money to buy it.
PLEASE HELP!!

Superuser not working
Thanks for the help with the charging issue Kinfauns!!!
I charged my kindle fire using stock charger and finally rooted it.
However, I am still not able to install android market on my KF.
After rooting Kindle (followed all the steps given in the thread), I installed Superuser.apk.
Then to install android market, I installed root explorer and downloaded Kindle Fire android market zip file. (followed instructions from one of the NAT3MIL's video on youtube).
First step is to install googleServicesFramework.apk file, which I did.
The next step is to move market.apk file to system/apps folder. However, when I tried doing that, I got a warning:
"Your phone doesn't appear to be rooted. This is requires in order to change or delete protected files such as this ......"
I don't understand why is it saying so as I have followed all the steps in the thread to root my KF?
How to check if the KF is really rooted?
Are there any settings to be changed in the superUser.apk?
Please help!!
Thanks a ton!!
Superuser not working
One more thing.
when I tried to update SU binary file,
I got following:
Downloading manifest .. OKAY!
parsing manifest.. Okay!
Latest Version = 3.0.3.2
Checking installed version .. legacy
Fixing database .. okay!
checking for busybox .. not found
Downloading custom busybox .. okay!
checking md5sum ... okay!
checking current install path .. fail!
Failed to find current installed su binary. Update cannot continue.
Does this mean I have to re-root the KF or just install the su binary file? how to do that?
Thanks!
Download the latest kindle fire utility and rerun it for permanent root.
Known Tricks
If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.
Please note: If your device can't be seen in fastboot mode, please make sure to install the drivers packaged with this, as it will show up afterwards. You can use the install_drivers.bat with the device plugged in for this.
Copied from the instructions of the kindle fire utility
Above are the tricks if you get stuck but after root install twrp then install fff
I would assume that your not rooted sounds that way to me.
By the way the yellow triangle will be replaced with the new bootloader a white kindle and a blue fire this will be considered the yellow triangle in the description. Good luck
Install permanent root
Install twrp
Install fff
All should be the newest at this point hopefully
Thanks ThePooch.
So, apparently I have to re-root my KF as for some reason it was not rooted correctly. Right?
I believe so the worst that could happen is it could fail if the file already exists but let's hope it goes fine

You don't necessarily have to let KFU do its entire "rooting" process.
If you can get into recovery and you are comfortable with adb, you can follow the "Rooting the stock software" section in this guide...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452
to push the 'su' binary into the /system partition and set ownership/permissions.
If you are not comfortable with that, you can use KFU, but it will be doing a lot of extraneous things that you probably don't need.
Under extras you will put on Google frame work and go launcher after you have confirmed bootloader recovery and root note that the market can only be seen using go launcher not the kindle one.
---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------
The easiest way to test root is to download an app that will request root permissions like root explorer for instance if you open the app and you don't see a dialogue pop up requesting permission its very likely that it isn't rooted.
Read-Only file system
Thanks Kinfauns and ThePooch for tips.
@kinfauns, I tried following the steps given in "Rooting the stock software" section of the given link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452
However, when I tried to push su binary file to system folder
adb push C:\kfu\software\su /system/xbin/
I got following message:
failed to copy 'su' to 'system/xbin/su': Read-only file system.
How can I change the permissions of the folder to copy su file?
I tried using shell command:
adb shell chmod 755 /system
However, I got the same message again "Read-only file system"
Please help!!
nevermind I see your on windows 7 like me. adb shell mount system will mount system to read/ write
its all in kinfauns post you just need to be it recovery to execute the commands I believe I would paste it here but its just as easy to read them from there
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su not 755 you can probably safely copy and paste the commands from his post right into cmd he has it written up very nicely

I think you may be trying to do this while booted into the system software. That won't work because you don't have root access there and you won't be able to mount (or remount) a partition without those privileges. The rest of it won't work without R/W access to the partition, as you've already seen.
To be clear, the device needs to be booted into recovery (TWRP or CWMR) where you do have root privileges. Make sure you start with step one to get the system partition mounted. If successful, "mount" will provide no output.
This file is not on the sdcard. It is in the /data folder.
I need to list the contents of the /data folder.
When I do a ls on the adb shell, it throws up a opendir failed permission denied error.
The device is rooted since I am able to see the SU application.
How do I go about copying the file from /data?
I do not know the name of the file. I attempted to copy the entire /data folder using an adb pull command, but that did not work.
I am using windows 7.
Try it while booted into recovery

This suggestion might not work for me as I was unable to get TRWP installed on it.
Are you rooted?

You don't need to be rooted to install TWRP. Any time you're messing with the file system, it's always a good idea to do it from recovery.

Can't you copy files from /data without being rooted? Do you have a file explorer app on your kindle? If so, assuming you're able to boot, try navigating to /data and see if you can copy/find the file you're looking for.

Yes, I used the KindleFireUtility to gain permanent root. I tried to use the utility to load TRWP on my Kindle, but that didn't work. The process to install TRWP got stuck on <Waiting for device> prompt forever.

That's because the link KFU uses to install TWRP dorsn't work. You have to get TWRP from their website and replace the TWRP in the KFU folder with it.
