Ok so i just tried to download the newest CWM from the kindle fire utility and when i tried to do that it got stuck in what i think is fastboot but i'm not sure. Has the little android guy above the name "Kindle Fire". Tried turning off the device and power back on but it is still stuck and nothing is working. Adb doesn't recognize my device either. Any help would be really appreciated. Here is what it looks like - http://db.tt/gd59KBHe
Type "fast boot devices" in a command prompt and see what you get
sent from my ever evolving kindle fire
Code:
C:\Users\urweb3>fastboot devices
C:\Users\urweb3>
Thats all it did
Did you open the command prompt where you have fast boot installed on PC ie. Sdk/tools/
sent from my ever evolving kindle fire
Yes and nothing is recognizing my device
OK
Try this.
1/ turn of kindle
2/open command prompt where you have fast boot on your PC.
3/ type the following. Fast boot -i 0x1949 one idme boot mode 4000
4/ press enter (it should say waiting for device)
5/ then switch on kindle
6/ fast boot -i 0x1949 reboot(this should reboot your kindle(if not then your not getting fast boot.
Let me know what happens
Edit.. it should be OEM after 0x1949 not "one"

ok well first how do you know that you have fastboot installed? or in the same folder. Let's get this out of the way first.
OK just turn off kindle open a command prompt and type fast boot devices it should say waiting for device. Then switch kindle on and it should show kindle serial no

Windows is not detecting your Kindle Fire properly. The "fastboot devices" should return some alphanumeric characters if the drivers have properly loaded and your device is really in fastboot mode. You need to make sure the right drivers are loading or fastboot commands are useless.
Read this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
Pay particular attention to the second post because you NEED to get your drivers working right first. Then the correct fastboot command is...
Code:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
You don't need the "-i 0x1949" if you have the FIREFIREFIRE bootloader and "bootmode" is one word.

Did you get the latest FireFireFire as well? ClockworkMid recovery requires a fastboot such as firefirefire.
Try the kindle fire unbrick utility first before anything.
Here, try this.
1. Power on the kindle.
2. While the kindle fire logo and the android logo are on the screen, Try to boot into recovery by holding three power button until the screen goes black. Then, let go. Let it sit for about two-ten seconds, and it should boot into cwm recovery.
3. Select "factory reset/ wipe data option, and after its done, reboot your kindle and it should work properly.
If that failed, try a hard reset.
1. Power off the kindle.
2. Hold there power button for a Full 20 seconds, even when it turns black.
3. After step two is applied, power on the kindle.

it sounds like you are stuck in fastboot.
when you plug in your kindle, does device manager see it? if so, can you tell me what it recognizes it as?
I'm having this same problem. It's apparently stuck in fastboot. I can't even figure out how to type in adb commands or fastboot commands (meaning I could before and now when I tried it says command not found, but I didn't change anything. It won't recognize my device and when I try installing the android-winusb.inf it says it won't let me. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated. My Kindle is listed as unspecified device.
when I plug in my Kindle, KFU Show:
- ADB: Online
- Boot Status: Unknow
Now I try to install CMW recovery or TWRP, but I can't do this . All show: - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

turn off kindle then try running the command before pluging in kindle to usb then plug in kindle and press power button once.
edit: if that doesn't work try installing kindle fire unbrick utility its very simple to use and normally sorts most bootloops etc.

Can U know that what problem in "system/bin/sh" of Kindle Fire ???????

You are only soft bricked. When I asked what happens when u plugged it in, I mean in device manager not in the kfu. Device manager needs to ee the the kindle as adb composite device. If it does not, then you need to get the right driver.
You are stuck in fastboot. You simply need to issue the right reboot code and you will be fine

he is absolutely right, this happened to me and nothing would work until I got a factory cable
This is a typical problem with KFU.
You need to go to your device manager and uninstall both the adb and android drivers then reinstall them manually. Sometimes it helps to restart your computer and Kindle afterwards. Make sure your device manager says both "Android Phone" and "Android ADB Interface" NOT "Other Device" and "Kindle".
When you are stuck at the boot screen it means you are in fastboot mode. In fastboot mode your device will only recognize fastboot commands. If your device doesn't recognize fastboot commands (KFU uses fastboot commands to change boot modes), 99 times out of 100, it's a driver issue.
A factory programming cable, while nice to have, is not usually necessary. A factory programming cable does two things. It provides power directly to the device instead of the battery AND forces the device into fastboot mode (stuck at boot logo). Since most of you with this problem are ALREADY in fastboot mode, a factory cable would be pointless.
Make sure you are 100% certain that you have the correct drivers installed and configured properly and then use the command prompt to change your bootmode to 4000.
In command prompt, navigate to the folder that contains fastboot.exe and enter the following commands...
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot
(or hold power button for 30 seconds)

If this doesnt work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038 you will need to aquire a factory cable so you can fastboot flash fff.bin and twrp image in order to then flash a rom because your system software is likely broken factory cable here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693 its possible you are stuck in fastboot but I doubt it if you get lucky and that is the case shift+ right click on the tools folder in kfu select open command window here power your device off completely leave it unplugged type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product when it says waiting for device plug in your powered off kindle it should then power on in fastboot mode if you get the response product: kindle then type fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 it will say okay hopefully the type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot it should then reboot in normal mode
My kindle fire runs on Rooted Kindle Fire stock ROM downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569298.
Yesterday I tried to install twrp using KFU0.9.6 and it says the MD5 check sum failed deleting the files.
Then it worked fine. After that i turn it off my Kindle fire. And I turn it on after some time. From that moment it got stuck in Kindle Fire boot screen.
Then I tried to connect my device to PC and launched KFU0.9.6 and it is saying my Device is offline
Could someone help me to resolve this issue???
Hard boot then boot into recovery.....then flash your stock ROM backup. You made a backup, right?

Im having the same problem... How can i boot into recovery mode if the Kindle Fire utility isnt detecting the device unless its literally on?
try this
Hi
I had the same problem... Try this:
Download the 'Kindle Fire Utility' unzip it and run install_drivers.bat
Plugin the kindle and make sure nothing is unrecognized in the Device Manager
Open a command prompt and enter the following two lines
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
(If fastboot cannot be found switch to the "kindle fire Utility" folder into the Tools directory)
Afterwards you can run the utility and install the latest "TWRP Recovery" and "FireFireFire". I've been stuck there in the installation: Don't plug-out your kindle, just reboot it a few times (keep the power-button pressed for at least 10sec)
Hope this helpes
So, I know not supposed to post questions that are lame, but I can't seem to figure this out. I will state my specs/situation:
I am stuck on the first step of installing FFF on my first Kindle Fire 1st gen.
I am on a Macbook Pro Retina 15" mid-2012 (USB3.0/2.0 mix ports only)
I am using KFU on a Win8 64-bit Virtual Machine (VMWare latest version)
The kindle fire is in fastboot mode (I'm pretty sure, at least).
It is stuck on the stock Kindle fire boot-up logo.
install_Drivers was run successfully after enabling unsigned driver installs.
Run.bat was executed
selected Option 5 first, to install FFF
FFF was downloaded by KFU, the Fire rebooted and then got stuck.
As it rebooted, I had forgotten to automatically have my Fire connect to the Virtual Machine, so VMWare prompted my with what system I wanted the fire connected to. I'm not sure if that delay has something to do with the stall and failure of KFU to install FFF or get out of fastboot.
KFU doesn't recognize the Kindle ("waiting for device" message; ADB: Offline; Boot Status:Unknown).
In my "other devices" on Windows Device Manager I see "Base System Device" and "Unknown Device"
My questions are:
1. How do I go about getting it out of fastboot mode even though KFU can't see the device.
2. What was I doing wrong in the first place?
Before you tell me:
I have read through the Guide
I have read through and searched much of the KFU dev thread
I have searched the forums, without a clear solution.
Thank you very much for your help!!!

EDIT: I guess I should specify, I do NOT have a fastboot factory cable. Do I need one?
Okay since you can use windows on a vm start there. Shift+right click on the tools folder inside KFU select open command window here, plug in the kindle, type the first command hit enter, type the second command hit enter if all goes well it should reboot normally. Same concept on a mac whatever directory adb and fastboot are in open a terminal, same commands same method. Good luck
Edit: in fact you can just copy paste my commands then you know you got it right. Dunno about the cable yet see if the commands work.

Did the first one, but still says "waiting for device" and nothing is happening. :/ (EDIT: for clarity's sake, nothing happening means its still stuck on the kindle fire white/orange stock boot logo)
btw, thank you for your help.
Hold the power button to turn the device off. Enter the command, and turn the device on when you see "waiting for device".

Still doesn't show up. (It also occasionally crashes my mac system when I plug the kindle in now :/ )
If I get a factory cable, will that likely solve this easily?
Well I'm not a Mac person but it's far better with drivers than Windows ever will be maybe google how to setup and and fastboot on a Mac and go from there. Download install breakdroid that should be accompanied with the drivers.

Got it! Using Breakdroid, I was able to capture the Kindle as it powered on. I believe my main problem was that there was a significant enough delay in connecting the Kindle via USB to the Windows Virtual Machine, that the ADB couldn't access it in time to capture it. Or whatever.
Solution: I used BreakDroid on my Mac. Turned the kindle off, then back on while Breakdroid was waiting for my device to perform Step 1 on Breakdroid's Kindle Tools. Then it immediately captured the Kindle when I powered it on. Went through the steps on Breakdroid, and it's working with bootloader and recovery
Works great! Have all my stuff back. And...it's rooted
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, GUYS!
EDIT: Now how do I install Google Play?
After trying wallpaper fix I am looped at screen that gives you a choice of factory defaults or reboot
Shows a shows a robot with a red triangle on it.
Would I be able to fix this with a factory cable?
No, you don't need a factory cable since you are on a 8.9”. Simply open a command prompt and CD into a directory with a copy of fastboot, and run this command, "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", after it says waiting for device plug your kindle in with the power off. It should go into fastboot, if it doesn't then you need to install the drivers for fastboot that are in my signature.
