Kindle Fire is stuck at boot screen, (no animation). Help!

Hello Everyone,
I will try to provide as much details as I can from what I remember.
Basically, I tried to ROOT my device and install TWRP. However, I messed it up the first time. I tinkered with it for hours but it still couldn't work until finally, after hard resetting for the unlimited time, it booted up.
The problem though, is that it wasn't rooted and TWRP wasn't installed when it came up so I tried it again. Second try, second time it was messed up. Annoyingly, I don't know what I did earlier to make it work. The second instance it happened is just like the first.
Just to be clear, this isn't the boot screen where the kindle fire logo is animated (has reflections). In my case, its the logo as is, stuck on the screen just like that. Tried hard resetting, doesn't work.
What do I know?
1) From my earlier experience, it has lesser to do with the system (PC, Mac) and drivers since I managed to get it boot up again without being connected the first time
2) If I do connect it to the PC, it says Cannot Start Device/Unable to Start Device. Code:10. That's it. Even if I reboot the device, its still the same.
3) If you connect it to the Mac, it is detected in system preferences. Problem though is that I tried using adb and just like its windows counterpart, there are no devices detected.
THOUHGTS:
1) I know I just have to get it to be recognized and I can change the bootmode. Something's telling me that its a boot mode problem only. In my earlier V3X phone, I used to TP (testpoint) if anyone's familiar with that, or shortcircuit the board to get it out of the 'loop'. Do we have that with the kindle fire?
2) What operating system would it be easiest to get the device detected. I'm hoping that if there's lesser complications with the device being detected by the computer, be it mac, linux or windows, I can change the bootmode. my technical instinct tells me it has something to do with boot mode.
What have I done already?
1. Let me see, I believe I tried hard resetting it for ALOT of times already
2. Reinstalled drivers on PC. Used both Android and Kindle Fire Utility drivers. Even checked the /android folder
3. I'm using a Nokia Micro-USB cable. I'm not sure if that has any impact on the device or its effectiveness but I will try to pick-up another cable today and post later.
I would really appreciate if anyone can help. It sucks that I tried this just after unboxing the unit. I haven't even tried doing anything on it yet.
If you can help, ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks mate!

had the same
1. use computer (windows - in my case windows xp)
2. nokia cable is fine (i use it too)
3. use kf utility .6
is your kf recognized by the computer ? (adb device or composite adm device)
have you tried to shutdown and startup your computer ? (not restart)
the entry for 18D1 in adb_usb.ini is missing - had to add it
the other entries are allready in version .6 android_winusb.inf
if you have troubles to remove old drivers use this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us
unplug/replug and install the drivers from .6 from scratch
it's not needed to reboot the computer - works immediately
waiting to get your status ...

Did you solve your problem?
My kindle is recognized by my computer but it as either ADB device or Composite ADB device (depending on what drivers I use to install it). Problem is that it says Cannot start device. Code Error: 10. Tried shutting down/restarting PC, still the same.

updated my initial post again ... (ms-link)
yes solved it in minutes
make the additional entry in adb_usb.ini
use only the drivers from .6
i think best way is to disconnect the kf - uninstall all old drivers regarding adb device - connect kf - use only drivers from .6 utility - start utility - change bootmode - up again !
whats your status ?

0x18D1 -- is that what I'm supposed to add to adb_usb.ini?

yes exactly - the device changes between the two id's regarding the bootmode
and don't let the computer select the driver - select manually

Okay, so I followed the instructions to a T.
I followed the MS Link to remove all drivers and then plugged-in the kindle and installed it back again by specifically telling windows that 'I have a disk'. It still says Code 10.
If it would mean anything, I'm doing this on a virtual machine since the computers around me are all Windows 7s.

I did try this yesterday on Windows 7 but most guides I see do it on older versions. I will try again a little later. Thank you.

I tried it on Windows 7. Still the same error. Kindle is frozen and on Device Manager it says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

I ran into the exact problem yesterday. I thought I bricked my kindle. That was scary. Anyway, the problem is that you're stuck on fastboot, mode 4002 instead of a normal mode 4000.
Following rootzwiki.com/topic/12363-how-to-windows-install-twrp-20-on-your-kindle-fire/
You'll need to add a new vendor id (0x18d1). However, even with that the device still will not be recognized right away. Following another user's suggestion on that same thread, I let the battery drained out. Once that's done, reconnecting the Kindle will show up as simply "kindle" on the device manager instead of the normal "unrecognized device".
Then do the adb commands (even if it doesn't show any device attached)
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your device will reboot out of the stuck "kindle fire" logo screen. If your device goes dark after, it just means that the battery need to recharged first. Another scary moment for me. You can unplug and use the wall charger, much faster than charging by PC. After 5 - 10 minutes, you should get back to your normal screen. Then, just use the Kindle Utility to install TWRP.

You'll need to add a new vendor id (0x18d1).

Actually, the problem with mine is that it's detected. However, it shows up as Code:10, The device is unable to start.
Still, I'll try to drain it first, tinker with it next and see what happens. That or I'll wait for tomorrow and open the whole device already and see if I can OMAP it.

Mine also did show up as code 10, and sometimes code 43 ... I tried uninstalled the driver and reinstall it manually each time and eventually showed up as unrecognized ... so I tried the battery drain ... I even tried putting it in the freezer to quicken the drain but not sure if it actually help ..

I tried the battery draining. Nope, still didn't work
UPDATE: I take this back. After draining the battery, I would like to confirm that the issue has been fixed. Thank you, THANK YOU Everyone! )
I REALLY APPRECIATE THE EFFORT. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! )

A family member recently got a Kindle Fire, I tried to flash recovery but it got stuck in fastboot mode. Windows will recognize it as uknown device but Linux won't detect anything in fastboot or adb.
I will try battery drain out since kaswistry said it worked
If all else fails, I will try this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405052
EDIT: nevermind lol, this worked.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20619033&postcount=11 even though i tried it several times already..

I have the same problem too, the kindle fire stuck at the boot logo

*sorry for my bad english*

Could it be that something destroyed my FireFireFire boot? My KF always gets stuck in fastboot when I try to flash ... obviously quite annoying.

u guys need to talk to vashypool in irc and he can fix it!! he fixed mine and mine was a complete brick

If it gets stuck in fastboot you need to run the command fastboot idme bootmode 4000 from the Android SDK.

[Q] I need help. Bad.

So, I tried searching for days on how to fix my problem.
A little while ago I rooted my Kindle Fire, and it was great. Then I did something. Not sure exactly what. But It ended up just doing nothing. When I boot up the Kindle it shows the blue and white Kindle Fire logo. Nothing else past that (unless I go to recovery.) Now, my computer doesnt recognize it anymore, even after doing most of the driver updates that people on here have said to do.
I need help, basically, getting it back to normal, so I can give rooting a try again. Now that I know what exactly I am dealing with, I can do this and not screw everything up.
First, the computer says the driver is installed, yet it doesnt recognize it.
Second, (before the driver mishap) KFU said it was connected but the adb was unknown.
Third, I have CWM and I tried to flash the normal Amazon update to bring it back, and it says"it cant open it (bad)".
Now, I would really like some help with this. I'm just at a complete lost.

Now should I put that into command prompt in the adb part? because it just says fastboot is not recognized.

Yes, It wont do that, it just says error: device not found. also says 'fastboot' is not recognized.

Now its just not connecting to the computer. I installed Android sdk and everything and its just not working. It says the driver is installed but there was an error because a problem had occurred. Any help? :crying:

As soon as you get tired messing with drivers you can move on to something that works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038

I hope u r on windows PC..
first after u set up adb, make sure u install adb drivers that came with kindle fire utility with ur kindle fire unplugged..if u had plugged in kindle fire while doing that, go to device manager and uninstall that device and its driver software and start up from beginning..
keep kf unplugged and install driver..u dont get usb debugging option in stock kf rom..its enabled if u have installed the drivers properly..ur kindle fire appears as android phone in device manager if everything u hav done is correct..
then boot up ur kf..that blue and white kf logo is of firefirefire bootloader..i hope its v1.4a and u see it on right top of the screen..if its stuck there then open command prompt as administrator on ur pc..connect ur kf to pc..type in to cmd
Code:
fastboot devices
if u see something under list of devices attached that will be ur kindle fire(unless some other android device is connected in fastboot mode lol)
Because kindle fire, as far as i know, can only boot into 3 bootmodes(normal, recovery, fastboot) unless u have altered the partition table to install different roms and multiboot ur kindle fire..
if fastboot command is not recognized, try setting the path to where fastboot.exe is present in KFU folder
alternatively u can go to folder where fastboot.exe is located and right click while holding shift and selecting 'open command window here' and fastboot needs to firefirefire bootloader to be installed on ur kindle fire..
also u can try this..
JUST GO TO RECOVERY..twrp has always been a better recovery software than cwm based thing available for kindle fire at least for me..if u go to recovery, ur kf will definitely show up as an adb device..u can change the bootmode using this..just type in:
Code:
adb devices
if ur kf is seen as in recovery then type this in cmd
Code:
idme bootmode 4000
reboot
just report if this worked..

okay well, I deleted all the drivers and started from the beginning. Yet, after running the install_driver.bat I plugged my Kindle in and it still says device not recognized. Now, you how can get adb working? It is coming up as unknown device. Its just seeming like theres something wrong on the kindle part. But hey, what do I know. haha

lol try what will work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038

But doesn't that require linux? I have windows 7. Is there something like that for windows?

Hi i have the same problem but the only thing is that my device is actually verified by the coputer and can connect via usb mount but when i try to install a ROM it says unable to mount and cannot install rom but i see there is something for fixing mounting problems there in soupkit so i'll give it a try.

This is what I get when I try to install the driver....

To run soupkit all you need is at least a 2 gig usb flash drive ubuntu 12.04 32 bit and universal usb creator. By the way your problem with the driver is you (or how you`re going about it), You would trip if I got on your computer and got it to work or could at least tell you why its not working. that`s why I suggested soupkit if you would of actually read the information I gave you, I wouldn`t have had to tell you twice and you would know that to use it it`s not required to be installed on your computer. But hey catch me online I can either help you fight through windows crappy drivers or help you set up soupkit I`m always game for a challenge When updating the driver you need to point it to the 32 bit version of the driver for instance on my computer it`s located here C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Desktop\Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.6\Kindle Fire Utility\drivers. After it`s ran unplug and replug device if that doesn`t work power off and power on while connected this generally does the trick when windows finally catches on it will install android adb interface, this is the fastboot driver (if you`re stuck in fastboot). Then select option 1 in KFU for changing bootmodes, then option 1 for normal if it does nothing power off and power on while connected it should then detect the kindle and reset the bootmode to normal. Pm me later I will be online all evening and most every evening I will help you sort it out.

Yes soupkit can fix mounting problems.

This is a very interesting issue with this Kindle windows detects it as unknown usb device, drivers are installed properly from what I can see. Ubuntu with soupkit ran on it fails to detect it in recovery or fastboot. multiple cables tried, lsusb doesn`t show the device connected. I really think this one the computer is the problem, because it`s the only unchanged variable.

Firekit may be the only option if Linux won't detect the device. Before doing that, make sure a USB 3.0 port isn't being used and try a fresh install of Linux to be safe. Otherwise, it seems putting it in USBboot is the only option for getting Linux to detect.
I'm not exactly sure what causes the unknown device error, but it almost always means there is something wrong with the bootloader, and it seems as though Windows might be the main culprit. Not sure why exactly, but it may be similar to the problem soulweeper51 had. Possibly a hardware issue involving the computer's USB port or the motherboard itself.

@ManoFishFry has doomlords cwm recovery and he flashed JB at first I thought it was an issue with cwm not being detected but the fact that it`s not detected in fastboot raised my eyebrows. The bootloader appears to be functional but I cannot rule out any minor state of being broken in another fashion when lsusb returns null. The computer doing the work had never been used prior to the incident so driver install didn`t take place till after the fact. The usb ports are all either 1.0 or 2.0 no 3.0 ports are being used. An alternate computer would be nice to rule out the computer itself @ManoFishFry only has a dinosour of an xp machine as alternate use of is not possible yet, not that it would even be possible to install drivers because of the typical unsigned driver failure of xp and booting ubuntu isn`t happening at the moment on this machine.

I'm willing to bet it is the bootloader.
Just USBboot and get it over with.

We did try usb boot once but it didn`t work will keep trying.

[Q] Stuck and not sure what to do!

Hi all,
Thanks in advance for any help.
I am trying to help someone root their Kindle Fire.
I have already done my own and it worked 100% first time without issues!
They have downloaded the KFU etc and tried to run the install drivers and then the run.bat which starts up the KFU, but after trying to root it the following comes up :
Attached pic.
Might it be worthwhile following the ADB advice from here? Is that the issue? And then try again? :
jayceooi how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver
Thanks again.

Could be a few things Generally speaking most issues are driver related make sure it appears under android phone as "Android composite adb interface" if not reinstall the driver. The use of a 3.0 usb port can prevent fastboot and render the device unseen by the computer and stuck in fastboot with no recourse to correct the situation other than creating a live sub with soupkit and or using another pc. Lastly there are cables that do not do fastboot or adb but will charge and transfer data. So check the driver, try another sub port, try another cable, try another pc. Good rule of thumb anyway. Make sure the kindle is first gen. a well.

So trying to figure out the ADB driver issue.
Followed my own link above and part of it says to look under Devices/Printers and the Kindle should show there.
Only thing is, it's showing as a Google Nexus!!!!
Say what????? I'm soooo confused.
Any ideas?

Look in device manager bud. Right click on computer and select manage then select device manager look for Android phone and expand that then check how the driver is stated.

Under Device Manager :
It says the following under Disk Drives -
Amazon File - CD Gadget USB Device.
No Android Phone or any expansion option showing.
Also the following pathway that is referred to doesn't exist :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver folder.
Thanks for your patient help, thePooch.

Is this kindle running system version 6.3.1? As well I sent you a pm unread your private messages.

Thanks mate for the offer.
All sorted now! Changeover of cable and laptop seemed to do the trick.
No idea why, but we're not arguing with a good result!
Cheers.

Very good! I did mention cable in my first post so you can see now it is possible. :highfive:

[Q] Help installing ADB for Kindle 8.9 with 8.3.1

Please help. I've tried everything I can find on XDA and most of google with no luck. I'm not a NOOB, and have rooted and installed custom ROMS on lots of devices before without any problems, but this has me beat.
Now the basics....I'm running WIN8 64bit, but have a WIN7 32bit laptop.
I have installed the Kindle ADB drivers but whenever I connect the device in ADB mode, it only installs an MTP device. When I click on that and go to Properties-Hardware, it lists 3 Device functions;
Android Composite ADB Interface - Kindle Fire
Kindle - Portable device
USB Composite Device - USB controller.
It seems, no matter what I try, when I run adb devices in CMD (Admin Mode), it list DEVICES FOUND - BLANK.....
What am I doing wrong. All I want to do to start with is ROOT the thing, maybe add Google Apps and then consider a Custom ROM.
If anyone can help me, and please treat me as a complete NOOB, as it seems this is beyond me, I would appreciate it.
Thanks all in advance....

Rooted KF not recognized (?) by PC

Hello,
I successfully rooted my Kindle Fire last year and a few months ago I decided to flash ICS on it. It worked perfectly and I've had no issues so far on it except for one thing that is driving me nuts.
I had downloaded a couple albums and a few magazines on my Kindle and I wanted to get them on my PC. So I proceeded to plug my Kindle as usual and I heard the USB sound on the PC. I checked My PC and my device did not appear there. I checked Device Manager and the ADB Composite thing did not appear either, it now says Amazon Kindle Fire with the yellow exclammation mark.
I suppose somehow the drivers got uninstalled or something, so I tried installing the drivers again... Which is another nightmare because first of all, I'm on Win XP and my computer is in Spanish. So when I double click on the drivers thing it doesn't work. And now when I try to manually install the drivers it won't let me.
I have no idea what to do now, maybe someone can help me with this. I'll be so grateful for any help you guys can give me! :crying::crying:

Trish: First, I am presuming you are working with a first gen Kindle fire?
I am pretty sure the problem is that the cm10 build is not using the 0x1949 kindle vendor ID and your drivers do not know what to do.
I am not entirely sure how to modify your USB driver ini files but, if you were to install something like USBDview, which lists usb attachments to your PC or, if you were in LINUX for certain and listed the syslog (which prints out all activity on ports basically), you would see a USB connection each time the tablet is connected but, the VID is no 0x1949 but, 18D1. 1949 is the VID for Kindle and I was told that 18D1 is the VID for google devices.
If your PC was set up and configured to work with google devices, I think you would be OK.
I had one person indicate their machine was configured to recognize either Kindle on Google Vendor IDs.
C:\Users\"your user name"\.android\adb_usb.ini
The file normally has 0x1949 listed in it which is the VID for Kindle.
Once cm10 is loaded the VID may no longer 0x1949.
I once tried to add 0x18D1 to the .android/ adb_usb.ini file located in the users base folder but, I did not have any better luck.
This issue happens quite a bit and there are lots of posts indicating that the PC will not recognize the tablet after loading one rom or another or just getting the tablet into one boot mode or another.

Thank for your response. I wasn't running CM10 on my KF 1st gen when I had this USB problem. To be honest, I don't even remember what's the name of the ROM I was running. All I have to say is that it was a very poor ROM, very unstable and it was missing a lot of features. For instance, when I went to Settings > Storage I would have no option to turn on the Mass Storage option.
I was so frustrated with this USB issue since I couldn't find a solution or help anywhere, so I decided to flash CM10.1 on my KF and now I have a very stable tablet. When I first tried to connect it to the pc after flashing, the PC didn't recognize it either. But at least I have the mass storage option in Settings > Storage.
Either way, the PC still doesn't recognize my tablet as an Android Phone. But I can get files from my KF to PC and vice versa.

I checked My PC and my device did not appear there. I checked Device Manager and the ADB Composite thing did not appear either, it now says Amazon Kindle Fire with the yellow exclammation mark.
I suppose somehow the drivers got uninstalled or something, so I tried installing the drivers again... Which is another nightmare because first of all, I'm on Win XP and my computer is in Spanish. So when I double click on the drivers thing it doesn't work. And now when I try to manually install the drivers it won't let me.
I have no idea what to do now, maybe someone can help me with this. I'll be so grateful for any help you guys can give me! :crying::crying:

Some ROMs just don't seem to work with Windows PCs. The latest CM/SG7 one works fine (early versions did not, the ones from around May going forward do). If all else fails, I've never had an issue getting USB to connect when using TWRP's option. A minor inconvenience, but there it is.

Thank for your response. I wasn't running CM10 on my KF 1st gen when I had this USB problem. To be honest, I don't even remember what's the name of the ROM I was running. All I have to say is that it was a very poor ROM, very unstable and it was missing a lot of features. For instance, when I went to Settings > Storage I would have no option to turn on the Mass Storage option.
I was so frustrated with this USB issue since I couldn't find a solution or help anywhere, so I decided to flash CM10.1 on my KF and now I have a very stable tablet. When I first tried to connect it to the pc after flashing, the PC didn't recognize it either. But at least I have the mass storage option in Settings > Storage.
Either way, the PC still doesn't recognize my tablet as an Android Phone. But I can get files from my KF to PC and vice versa.

This has been talked about several times, but for some reason no one ever seems to catch on.
You have to check the hardware IDs reported by your device in the Device Manager for every ROM you install, and make sure the information matches whatever is listed in your 'adb_usb.inf'.
