I have system version 6.3 and was using KFU 0.9.5.
I ran KFU for the first time, hit 2 and pressed enter.
It rebooted into TWR, the cmd window said that it was installing TWR and gave the "if freezes just wait, yadda yadda yadda" so i went and took a shower, came back and had a "cmd has quit responding (force close) (wait)" and i hit wait about 5 times and it kept doing it all over. Finally hit force close and now the kindle won't do anything.
When I power it on I get the yellow triangle with the fire in it. No other screen, just on this screen forever.
How can i fix from here?

Power it off then on when you get to the yellow triangle hold the power button down till it turns orange this will put you in twrp before doing anything make a backup only for kicks and giggles cause likely there will be something wrong with this backup then hit factory/ data restore clear cache and dalvik then hit reboot this will wipe all your personal data and apps so you will need to reregister and download your purchases again but maybe this is enough to get you past whatever is stoping it from booting up right unless of course you have a previous restore point from rooting before then restore that before rebooting

Doesn't work, does not turn orange. I have held it and i have spam pressed it. Just sits at this screen until i hold the button for 20ish seconds to turn it off.
this happened with me as well.. im my case, the drivers were not installed properly.. check device manager to verify.
At this point it doesn't even show up in device manager. It hasn't got to a point to use USB and the computer don't even make the "device attached to usb" sound effect. Before doing the failed Kindle Fire Utility it was showing up correctly in device manager.
I think u had my problem as well... when the kindle was running normally, it was detected properly..after kfu rebooted it, windows wasn't able to detect it anymore.. what I did was uninstall / reinstall the drivers that came with kfu

Hi,
From yesterday, my KF keeps rebooting at Yellow Triangle, attempts to get into TRWP not succeceful. Although it turns to orange when pressed power button, it just keep reboots.
It reboots itself that no time allows to PC recoginise the Kindle fully, as soon as it showed as external disk called "Kindle" then disappears then re-appears.
It is however turns-off when pressed more than 10sec on power button.
I would like to know at this stage, whether do I need factory cable to revive it or any other methods may I can try.
Yes, at Kindle Fire Utility, it just say waiting for device forever.
Best regards
Heesang

Many thanks
Thank you soupmagnet,
I was able to re-install ADB driver from KFU (have to figure out change of install language code) and able to boot in normal mode between nick of time.
Now it continues to boot normal OS and as soon as it ready for operating, it shuts down automatically and backs to reboot, repeating of yellow triangle loops.
I still able to re-enter command to boot normal mode, however it keep repeats same thing again.

Hi, Im having a huge problem with my kindle fire, in an attempt to root my device, i seem to have made a mistake somewhere along the line (I actually just wanted to select one background, but i was lead to all sorts of videos on youtube showing rooting procedures and i had to have it rooted to do so, so alas i rooted). My device upon power up starts up, loads yellow triangle (firefirefire?) and goes to the "Kindle Fire" screen and stops, it cannot load any further . I have tried numerous fixes such as updating but the files cannot be copied and flashed to my device, because i cannot copy them to my device from my pc. the option to do so is just not there.
I appreciate any help I can get, do i need to finish / fix a rooting procedure or unroot or what? thanks in advance.
When you get the fff screen try holding down the power button till it turns orange that will hopefully put you into twrp from there you could do a few things but try selecting reboot see what happens . Could be that it would just send you to the back to the same screen
testing
when I go into twrp, i click reboot, brings me to screen with two options (im sure you all know this). When pressing option one, system, it closes out of twrp, loads fff, loads the "Kindle Fire" screen, and is froze...
I then powered off by holding the power button for 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi... all the way to 11 mississippi
Turned back on, fff loads, held pwr for twrp, hit reboot, chose option two, power off, and this did just as it said it would, powered off...
Sorry I sound retarded while writing this, im just trying to be thorough
P.S. i have toyed around with twrp, totally reset all data and caches, done just about everything...
Go here
...and download FFF1.4
Mount your sdcard in recovery and transfer the FFF1.4.zip from your computer. Install FFF1.4 in recovery (no wipe) and reboot.
As soon as you see the Blue kindle fire logo, hold the power button until you see options show up on the bottom. Use the power button to scroll through the options and select "Normal Boot"
that would work but...
Hard to explain my situation... anyway, when i plug in my kindle, it does not play auto play, no way to put files from computer to kindle. I have gone into my devices and cant seem to find a way to open and veiw and edit the files on my device.

You have to access TWRP and select mount > mount sdcard and mount to USB
Are you saying that you tried this and it doesn't work?
Ok so i just did what you said, loaded up twrp, went to mount sd mounted, its plugged into a working usb, and i still cannot access files from my computer i was just messing with kindle fire utility 0.9.5 i beleive, and i chose the option that said install latest version of fff, it gave me a "kindle fire" screen with the android robot above it, but when kfu gets to the end it says dont touch kindle if its frozen, but on the kindle it prompts to reboot, should i reboot, wait, or forget that and try to fix the file veiwing problem... ive tried reboot and i loose the android over the kindle fire screen which origionally replaced the yellow triangle.
EDIT: Just toyed around with KFU more and got the yellow triangle screen to be replaced by android robot over "kindle Fire" text, still no luck on installing that file

That might be that you had your kindle plugged in when you ran the bat file for the drivers and it wiped out your USB mass storage drivers in the process my suggestion is to restore your computer back to a time before you messed with the drivers and see if you can't get mass storage mounted via USB before.without your kindle plugged in run the driver install to regain adb then plug the kindle in you should have working adb and mass storage driver then
---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------
Hopefully I won't muddy up your situation but I did the same thing myself once on the driver thing that's why I believe you can't access SD on your kindle
---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------
And soupmagnet is right he's trying to get you out of fast boot with his suggestion the bootloader he pointed you to has that option. As long as you can access twrp and mass storage you have a lot of options on what to do next mess that up and you'll brick your kindle so take your time relax do it right. Also if you can still access twrp check your battery level there don't let it die you can still charge while in twrp I believe so if it gets low plug it in give it a rest and see if your battery level doesn't come up this will save you a bunch of heartache.

Reading this has given me a headache so let me make sure I understand it correctly.
You tried to mount your sdcard and you say it mounted but it didn't show up on your computer? With Windows Explorer open, while switching between mounting and unmounting the sdcard, nothing happens? Nothing is being added, like "F:\" or "D:\"?
Also, you said you used the KFU to install FFF and it worked because your boot screen has changed (which by the way isn't the latest version). With that, your drivers are obviously working properly.
So make sure you have FFF1.4 downloaded from HERE, rename it to fff.zip and place it in the "tools" folder of your KFU directory along with adb.exe.
Boot into TWRP
Shift+right click on the KFU "tools" folder and select "Run in Command..."
In the prompt that opens, enter the following command:
Code:
adb push fff.zip /sdcard
Reboot your device and back into recovery. The fff.zip should be there for you to flash. Don't wipe before installing.
If successful, your boot screen will be a blue Kindle Fire logo. Then read the FFF1.4 thread OP to learn how to change your bootmode to normal.
sigh

Good to know thought it was your drivers
I have had a Kindle Fire since they day they came out. I immediately disliked the stock Rom so I ran the kindle fire utility and installed Fire Fire Fire and TWRP, rooted it, and installed CM7 Rom which has been working great. Transferred files and programs between my PC and Kindle with no issue for months. Now with all the ICS roms available and working I decided to try and upgrade to one of those and thats when everything went wrong. Its in a bootloop and the triangle appears, fades, lights up again and immediately boots to TWRP. I have flashed the entire kindle using TWRP trying to get everything off of it. Upon plugging it into my PC BRIEFLY when the triangle logo pops up I get a "USB device not recognized" on my PC. I have tried using KFUtility to reinstall drivers, tried uninstalling n reinstalling drivers but the same thing happens. I cannot use TWRP to mount at all, nothing happens. Kindle Fire UTility keeps saying adb offline, CMD adb devices also results in 0 devices found. I have tried putting it on normal boot using both ADB and KFUtility and it says "wait for device" and nothing ever happens. Any idea? Not even sure if I have a rom installed on my kindle anymore but my PC wontread it so I cannot push another image to it. Got a plane trip on Saturday and would love to have this working to kill the bordom lol. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
It sounds like your bootmode is set to recovery. An easy way to fix this is download FFF1.4 to your computer and use the mount function in recovery to place it on your sdcard.
Flash it in recovery as you would a rom except don't wipe anything. When you reboot, hold the power button like you're trying to enter recovery and you'll be given the option to reset the bootmode.
Thank you so much for your advice but there in lies the problem. Inside the recovery console i choose to mount it and nothing happens. My PC will not let me access the kindle in anyway at all, either mounting the SD Card or via ADB/KFUtility.

Generally, the only thing that would prevent adb/kfu from communicating with the device is the drivers. Make sure they're installed properly. You may have to uninstall them (delete if applicable) and reinstall them.
Follow the instructions in this guide to install and verify your drivers.

K heres the latest (we r making progress!)
I got my device to be detected by my PC and used KFutility to change it to normal boot. Now instead of booting into recovery everytime it boots normally.... to a black screen (guessing my rom is shot or I deleted it while playing with it). The issue is the ONLY time my PC recognizes my kindle is for a .5 second period when i first turn my KF on and the yellow triangle appears. I can use this window to change it to normal bootmode, reinstall TeamWin, stuff like that, but i cannot mount it so I can transfer or adb so I can push. You can watch device manager and it'll pop up ADB android phone or whatever it should but poof, a second later gone.

Get your device drivers working so you can use adb. Follow the instructions in the post below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26144447
That is excellent advice and I wish it would work but I cannot pull up ADB once in TeamWin. Keeps saying no devices. As i said my PC detects it and ADB will detect it for .5 seconds on the orange triangle. Once the orange triangle disappears and it either boots to blackness or boots to TeamWin ADB stops recognizing my device. But I will play around with your suggestions once I get off work and let you know what i find out. Thanks again for everyones support.
Frozen screen during rooting
Hi,
I am new to the forum. I have a kF screen stuck (where it says 'kindle fire') while I was trying to root it. I tried hard reset, charging for half hour, calling AMAZON...nothing works. The screen goes off if I hold it for 20 seconds but when I put it back on same thing. I was trying to root it with 'fastboot (?). Is there anything at all I can do? Thanks.

Don't hijack the threads please. If you have a problem or question, post it in the Q&A section.
Hello, everyone.
My Kindle Fire is rooted and running stock version 6.3.1. It had been working well for about a month.
This evening I plugged it into the wall charger while having dinner and watching the game. I came back after the game, about three hours later, and saw that the LED was still yellow. Oddly, it should have been green by that time. Unplugging it, I saw that the battery hadn't charged at all. This seemed really odd, so I shut it down by holding the power button until I saw the dialog box asking if I wanted to shut it down.
I waited a few moments after shutting down and tried to start it again. First I saw the familiar blue and white screen I've seen since rooting it (side note: is this the current FireFireFire logo?) with v1.4a then it went to the yellow and white splash screen and remained stuck there for a good five minutes.
Something seemed really wrong, so I leaned on the power button for twenty seconds and tried booting again with the same result.
I tried plugging it into the computer to see what KFU says. It reported that the Fire is in bootmode 4000 (normal).
I've got a backup made about ten days ago with TWRP, but I moved it from the SD card and onto the computer. If I can't get the Fire running again, do you think I might yet be able to restore from this backup?
Yes, 1.4a is the latest FFF and it sounds like something is wrong with your system software.
Restoring from your backup might be a good idea. You can use FFF's recovery selection to get back into TWRP (I'm guessing this is your recovery). If you aren't familiar with how to do this... Start up your device and watch the power button LED. As soon as it goes from bright to dim, press the power button again (sometimes it takes a few presses) and a selection menu will appear on the display. Press and release repeatedly to scroll through the options until recovery is selected and then wait.... it will boot into recovery.
Use the "Mount" feature to get to mount it on your computer and transfer the backup onto the device. You should then be able to restore your backup.
Thank you! Yes, I'm using TWRP for recovery. Never thought I'd actually need it. I'll give it a try tonight.
I think I'll change my username to "flabbergasted." You can call me that. The Fire is working again.
Thank you, kinfauns, from the bottom of my heart for your help with this and your excellent guide, Kindle Fire For Beginners.
As you suggested and instructed above, I booted into TWRP recovery (version 2.1.1) and selected the Mount feature. This caused an Autoplay dialog box to open on my Win7 desktop with an option to Open Folder to View Files (Using Windows Explorer). Selecting this option opened a window displaying the contents of the SD card. I thought wrongly that I was going to have to push the files using adb.
Navigating to the folder in which I placed the backup folder (in this case named "2012-06-08--19-15-36" which I surmise is the date and time of the backup), I cut and pasted the entire folder to the window showing the contents of the SD card under the filepath:
Removable Disk G:\TWRP\Backups\0000000000000000\2012-06-08--19-15-36
I then carefully disconnected the Fire and used Unmount before returning to the main menu to use the Restore feature. Here's where something weird happened. TWRP didn't show the backup set I had just copied onto the SD card. I had to power down and reboot before Restore displayed that backup set. Restoration itself took a couple of minutes.
I then used the System option under Reboot to restart the Fire, having found that if you use the Power Off option, it will subsequently continue to boot into recovery. It booted into the home screen as I had left it about ten days ago.
The Fire is now charging.
I want to wipe everything off my Kindle including the recovery and bootloader, is there a command I can issue to do this? (I'll be using firekit /w the short trick and adb push to reinstall my rom/bootloader/recovery)
I can't even begin to tell you why that's a bad idea and completely unnecessary.
Do you mind me asking what you are trying to accomplish with this and why you think it's necessary?
I had the old version of TWRP and bricked my Kindle, I got it to load the new version of TWRP with firekit and it unbricked my Kindle. Next, I set boot mode to normal because I wanted to flash a new rom, however then I got the blinking yellow triangle of death again, I ran usb_fix_parts_and_install_fff_twrp (how I unbricked it before) and shorted it but this time it didn't work and I got the blinking triangle again. So I though if it worked before with new version of TWRP maybe if I removed it completely and the re-ran "usb_fix_parts_and_install_fff_twrp" it would unbrick my Kindle again
Sorry for the long explanation
Oh I forgot, The reason I put it back in normal mode is because I thought I fixed everything and thought the battery would begin to recharge again, so I figured just downloading the rom to kindle itself would be easier than using adb push to transfer it from my computer, but then I couldn't even get back to twrp after the first time
The blinking triangle is due to a dead battery, not the bootloader installation.
Unplug the device and hold the power button until it shuts down completely.
Plug the device into your computer's USB (2.0) port and immediately hold the power button until it shuts off again.
If you can get it to shut down without starting up again, leave it plugged in for at least half a day to let it charge.
aullys and
I'll try that, thank-you
