ib4 yes, i have already searched and did read almost every possible solution. but here i come, with no ideas.
i have a Kindle Fire 6.3
i only wanted to root it so i could be able to install Google Market, or Play as the kids call it now days. i proceded with the tutorial from liliputing on how to root the kindle 6.3. i cant post the link as im a n00b.
at first seemed like it was ok, but the market chrashed a lot, so i triet to unroot it, again with KFU. bad idea. my Kindle is now stuck on the loading screen, it just says Kindle Fire with the android on top. ADB cant find the device. i already tried using Kindle Fire Unbricker, but it just stays there, waiting for the device. the power button glows, but thats all. nothing happens.
i read something about a factory cable, but 1.- i seriously lack any electrical habilities, and 2.- english is not my mother language, so i didint wanted to risk it... more.
please, help.
thanx in advance.
Factory cable gets it into fastboot. Easy enough.
Try reinstalling the drivers. Since it's not recognizing. If everything keeps "waiting" for the device.
But you may get alot of read or use the search functions in the forum. =/
There are ALOT of threads with people that have bricked their KF.

Try boring into recovery.
1. Power off the kindle
2. Click the power button once to turn it on.
3. When the KF logo comes up and the absurd ontop, hold the power button for three seconds, then let go. You should boot into recovery within five to ten seconds.
4. Scroll down to factory reset. Click it.
If that failed, try to reinstall the drivers like this.
1. Plug in the kindle to your computer while its on.
2Goto devices and printers
3. Do you see "kindle" listed anywhere? If so, double click on it, then uninstall the drivers.
4. Goto where you have the kindle fire utility installed (not the unbrick utility) and double click install_drivers.bat and reinstall the drivers. (NOTE: You must have ADB working with the Google usb driver installed for this to work)
5. The drivers should install correctly. Run the kindle fire unbrick utility and let the magic happen.
Kindle Fire running KANG CM9
New developer, working on my own custom rom
i have done a very similar thing with my Kindle Fire, tried to root it, but google play would not down load any apps. I did a factory reset as I thought i would bring it back to the "out of the Box" state, but instead it wiped everything. I have run the Kindle Fire unbrick utill and managed to get the device to boot up into the CWM recovery, mounted the SD card and was able to read it in Windows after i formatted it as Fat32. I then copied the stock 6.3 Kindle.bin file to the SDcard. renamed the .bin file to .zip and via CWM managed to install the zip file. But when i select the device to boot into normal mode i get it hanging on the Kindle Fire logo. Now I have a message to say that the battery is to low at 24% and wait until it charges, but it doesnt appear to be charging.
If I run the kindle fire util it tells me it is offline, I have to run the Kindle brick utill to get it back to a state where i can run adb commands, but the boot mode remains unknown.
I do have another Kindle fire here (the wife's one) so if anyone has any ideas how I can get the bricked on back either by the utils and a stock image or taking a backup of the working Kindle and trying to install it on mine.
I am knew to this Anroid kindle stuff so sorry if I am missing a simple step, but any help would be great. 3 days trying to get this back
Same Problem...ish
I had my kindle rooted and was trying to install the android market (google play). I previously installed google frameworks or what ever its called, so I didn't worry about that. I went here:
www (dot) redmondpie (dot) com (slash) download (dash) google (dash) play (dash) store (dash) 3.5.16 (dash) apk (dash) with (dash) tons (dash) of (dash) bug (dash) fixes (dash) and (dash) improvements
and downloaded the apk directly onto my kindle fire. I used file expert to go to system/app and mounted it Read/Write. Then I copied the apk into the folder. Next, I changed the permissions to Owner - Read/Write, Group - Read, Others - Read. I went into the folder to install the apk, and then file expert crashed. I didn't think it was a big deal, but then it crashed again. Before I knew it, settings crashed, then the home and bar with notifications and times crashes are well. I decided to try to reboot my kindle. When I turned it on, I got a yellow triangle. It said to press the power button, and I did. After a few seconds, it started to turn on again. It's been two hours and the kindle hasn't turned on yet. I tried turning of the kindle again by pressing and holding the power button, but when I tried to turn it on again, the yellow triangle showed up again. Without me doing anything, it continued on to the the boot up screen. And its been stuck like this...it won't turn on...please help me!
follow this video, on youtube search "How to Restore to the Stock Kindle Fire Interface"
The title explains it all for the most part.
I have tried various methods such as manual installs of the drivers to restoring my kindle, restarting my computer, etc.
no matter what I do kfu does not want to say online or detect my kindle.
Also I renamed my folder from Kindle Fire Utility to KFU and moved it onto C: directly.
Any help is greatly appreciated, as this is my first time rooting on the 6.3.1 so this new way of rooting should be simpler...
Thanks again for any help though!
I used the Kindle Fire Utility to root my Kindle 6.3.2 and then I screwed up. I think I accidentally used the 'Advanced Wipe' feature in TWRP and killed my Kindle.
Right now I can boot my Kindle to the TWRP recovery no problem. But I cannot get my PC to see the device so that I can sideload CyanogenMod or something similar.
When I plug my Kindle into my Win 7 PC it dings, it sees the usb connection, the and Kindle starts recharging so I know there is some connection. In Device Manager it shows that I have an Android ABD device.
But I cannot see the Kindle in Explorer so I can move the CyanogenMod .zip over to the kindle for installation.
I've tried every USB driver in the book and I am out of ideas. Also, I am a n00b at this so I hope I used all the terms correctly.
Help!
PS: As a side note, does Google Play still work with CyanogenMod? That is what started this whole mess - my CM Kindle would not recognize my Google Play games.
Thanks
Hello XDA forums,
I have had nothing, but problems install TWRP on my Kindle fire version 6.3.2. I have installed the drivers on windows 7 and when i connect my kindle fire. In device manger the kindle fire displays as "Android Phone", at the top showing the drivers are correctly installed. The problem is anytime i run the install.bat file to install TWRP my kindle fire is stuck on the Logo and in the command prompt it just says "<waiting for device>"... The install.bat file will be stuck here until i close out of it. I then i have a unbootable kindle fire which i boot up linux and run the SoupKit application to fix the kindle fire boot mode, so it can boot propertly. Can anyone help me figure out why i can't install TWRP on my kindle fire? I was thinking about doing a factory reset and starting over to see if that works?
Anyone help out?
Update "After trying 3 different computers i finally found success with my desktop running windows 8.1. I had to modify the driver signing feature and disable ti in order for my kindle fire to be recognized in fast boot. I honestly have no idea why the drivers seem to work on windows 8.1 x64 along with recognizing my kindle fire in fast boot. My windows 7 laptop and linux even was having troubles installing TWRP on my kindle fire. The windows 7 laptop was unable to recognized Kindle Fire Utility and my kindle fire wouldn't show up in device manger." I Was luckly after messing with kindle fire and drivers for about 6 hours i finally found one pc to work.
I managed to root my Kindle Fire with Safe Root and I have been trying to use the Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9 to install FireFireFire (which is missing by the way and the utility can't download it because the host is offline) and TWRP. When I try to install TWRP, the Kindle shuts down and says it is rebooting in Fastboot Mode, however, after the Kindle reboots, the utility still says waiting for device. I have restarted it over and over again but TWRP never finishes the install. That is just my first issue here. I am also very irritated that every link I try to download from on this forum ends up being a dead link. What gives? In January of 2016, how am I supposed to install Android or Cyanogenmod's version of Android on my Kindle Fire (1st Gen)?
