I was rooting my kindle fire by using KF UTILITY 0.6.9....
While it was rooting my device restarted and went into fastboot mode and it just got stuck there
and on the Kindle fire utility screen it just said "waiting for device"
I stupidly "x" out the kf utility and unplugged my kindle from my computer.
Now when I turn my kindle fire on it's stuck booting..
Any help would be really thankful. Please help.
Open kfu select 1 for changing boot mode select normal boot mode 4000 it should change it back to normal
If you tried to root your device with the 'Kindle Fire utility" tool and your kindle is stuck in the booting logo try this:
Connect the kindle to the computer again and see if you have the drivers
If your missing the drivers install them (get them from the KFU tool.
open up Kindle fire utility and press bootmode (1)
Next press normal boot (4000) and wait for the device to restart .
A lot of people are trying to root their device by watching the youtube tuts but everyone is getting this error
Hope it works for you:good:
Hi all,
First off, this is my first post :victory: and I need some help.
Last night I used this thread to successfully get root access on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9".
Then, wanting to install CyanogenMod 10.1 on the Kindle, I tried to install the second bootloader and TWRP Recovery. At this point, the Kindle began to reboot. When it turned on, the Kindle Fire logo appeared, shined a few times, then blank red covered the screen.
I can turn on/turn off the Kindle, but all I see is this red screen. Anything I can do?
I've looked at factory cables, hopefully there are some things I can try before I buy that...?
A factory cable won't work on the 8.9
Disconnect the USB cable
Turn the device completely off (hold power button for 10 seconds)
Enter: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Reconnect the USB cable
As the device powers up, if your fastboot drivers are working properly, the device should boot into fastboot mode. Use it to restore your saved partition images.
Thanks for reply
Hi soupmagnet,
Where do I enter the command "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product"?
In command prompt on the computer?
EDIT: Self-explanatory It worked perfectly - thanks!
HAVING SAME PROBLEM KFHD 8.9 2nd Gen RED BOOT.
I have the same problem. Can boot into fast mode with KFFA, but restoring stock settings seem to be Impossible. I have tried to restore with ADB, ADB (Fastboot), KFFA, and KF SRT. No matter what red boot screen will not go away and device can only fastboot. Any help?

Red screen is also considered a hard brick. Sometimes restore does not work.
Same happened here
Today I rooted my kindle fire 2nd gen10.4.8 using vroot I also installed a boot loader that as soon as I tried downloading shut my kindle fire down and when I tried unsuccessfully to turn it back on the red kindle fire symbol came for a second and then the careen was red

My kindle is rooted and when i flahsed a recovery it asked if i wanted to boot into recovery after i said yes then when it booted the kindle fire logo appeared for about 1 second then a red screen slid in from the side now it wont boot into recovery fastboot or normal mode and i have reinstalled kindle drivers several times as well as fastboot.exe and also adb.exe and nothing works the computer sees it for 3 seconds if i hold power volume down but then it goes to red screen
You need to run this on the computer: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Once it says waiting for device, plug the kindle in while it is off, if the bootloader isn't too damaged it should kick into fastboot. Hopefully you also installed the fastboot drivers previously or your best bet might be a Linux live distro like Ubuntu.

fastboot doesn't recognize if there is a way to fix this or a way to keep the kindle connected for more then 3 seconds i would appreciate it
What does the kindle show up as for those 3 seconds? Because usually it shows up as a jem device (without the driver installed) or a adb device (with fastboot drivers installed) and in those 3 seconds that command gets it to go into fastboot mode so you can fix it. All that needs doing is the bootimg needs to be flashed or erased and fastboot should be more cooperative.

I ran the fastboot command like you said, and got my kindle to go into fastboot but i have no idea what to do next.
should i run certain files?if so please tell me where and how?
Use kindle fire first aid or system restore tool for the rest once it is in fastboot mode or flash a backup of your boot image with "fastboot -i 0x949 flash boot boot.img", that should fix a red screen/bad loop scenario where fastboot is not working well, etc.
thats the problem

i cant tell what it shows up as because by the time it shows up in the device manager the kindle disconnects
how do i flash a boot.img if the kindle is only connected for 3 seconds and fastboot isn't working
A ubuntu live os probably would do the trick
May I give up kindle fire hd 8.9 ?

My Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Use stock rom from amazon 8.5.1.
Have we have another way to fix it ?
Hi there,
All was going well with my Fire HD 8.9, I rooted it, had the 2nd bootloader installed and was trying to install CM 11 before I got an error message saying that the jem version was the one I needed. I couldn't get my computer to recognise the the Kindle whilst in TWRP, so thought that I'd have to restore from the backup I made (of the stock Kindle OS and settings) to be able to transfer the version of CM that I needed. The backup seemed to work, but it hasn't in fact.
I turn on the Kindle and it gets stuck at the very first image of the logo, with NO animation
I'm unable to get back into TWRP
I can turn the kindle on and off but that's it
I can't use any recovery programs because my PC doesn't recognise the Kindle
I uninstalled and reinstalled the adb drivers, but when I connect the Kindle, my PC plays the 'Device Connected' then 'Device disconnected' sounds in quick succession, making the installation of any drivers fail
It's as though there's a brief second or two when USB works on the Kindle in terms of my PC knowing something is there, but then the USB disconnect noise plays
I only got it a day ago (managed to mess it up very quickly somehow!), so I could always try returning it if needs be, but hopefully that won't be necessary. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
EDIT - I can get the device to come up with fastboot mode and then the computer recognises it as an Adb device, but don't know where to go from there.
I would try to fix it from recovery if possible, it is way easier than having to do the process over again. You do know how to get it back into recovery right? Hold down volume up right after you power it on, just keep holding it even after kindle logo turns blue until you see the twrp logo. If that doesn't work, I would use kindle fire first aid to restore it and start over, but if you can get it into recovery then you can simply push a ROM onto it via adb.

Thanks for the reply. I actually managed to fix it in the end by using the fast boot command and then connecting the Kindle, then using the SR tool to erase user data and cache, before flashing the boot and recovery imgs (just saying in case anyone googles and this comes up and it might help).
I have been looking all over the web to find a solution for my problem. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 which i attempted to flash with CM 11. I was able to recognize the device on my computer, and it installed twrp, however it had an issue that said it could not install the .zip file for cm. I reflashed what I thought was the newest twrp onto the device using the flashboot commands, and now it won't get past the kindle fire logo that is orange. it doesn't recognize anything on the device manager, and it doesn't make any noises after doing a restart and replugging it back in with the device powered off.
Have I just totally destroyed my Kindle Fire, or is there a way to save it? I have tried to run the commands on Linux, Mac, and Windows, and have not had any success. Please help! I really would love to turn this thing into an android device, but i can't get anything to work! :crying:
What happens when you reboot? Does it stay on the first boot logo? Can you put it into fastboot mode. Use this command:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Also, is it a bootloop or is it just staying on one logo
