[Q] Bricked Kindle Fire?? HELP!

Okay so basically I decided to root my Kindle Fire. I have rooted my android phone and my iPod before so I wasn't too worried about it, but it's gone horribly wrong and I need major help.
So here's what happened:
I got my root from rootkindlefire.com and followed the necessary steps (i'm running on 6.3.1)
It got halfway through and froze and I stupidly unplugged my kindle
Then it was stuck on this screen with a yellow triangle with a flame in it and at the bottom is said press power button for recovery, but when I pressed it nothing happened
So I went messing around online, in my drivers, etc. I ended up deleting my kindle drivers (like the original ones) and now my kindle is freaking out.
I watched this other tutorial on rootkindlefire.com and tried to follow the steps on how to unbrick it but when I managed to get into the recovery (i can't remember what it's called? blue screen with options like install, mount, reboot, etc.) and put the zip drive he said to, in there... i couldn't see it.
I then downloaded KFU and managed to get my kindle to reboot, but it is now stuck on the "Kindle Fire" screen. I can turn it off, get into recovery, etc. I cannot get it to move past the start up screen however.
I do not believe I am in fastboot, but one of the sites I was on could have misled me. Anyway... HELP! please... I'm sad:/

I followed all the steps and everything worked just like it said....but when my kindle rebooted, it is still stuck at the kindle fire screen but now there's animation...which it did not have before.
Any suggestions?

If your getting animation and it doesn`t go any further this usually indicates a broken system which TWRP are you using ? If you are using 2.3.1.1 there`s a problem with how it formats best you revert to an older version 2.2.2.1 or older then it should work for you. Full wipe except your external storage/sdcard, refalsh rom and gapps. The proper methods for wiping are also provided in the link I gave you.

Very good point though make sure your using the newest version of KFU 9.6 the older version uses burrito root which no longer works on the Kindle Fire. Really though alll you need is a bootloader and recovery rooting is obsolete.

First off, definitely listen to Thepooch and Josepho1997. Next, do you just want a rooted KF running the basic 6.3.1 firmware, or will you be switching to ICS or JB?
Next, is the blue screen you mentioned the TWRP screen? (TeamWin screen with 8 different choices)? If you are, then go to (I think) the bottom right and select mount, then mount system or USB or whatever it says. After that you can add files for a custom ROM or whatever you want through your computer. I forgot to mention that you need to of your KF into your computer.

Help
I have done everything that has been listed here. My kindle is stuck on the kindle fire screen, I can not boot into recovery and I do believe the TWRP that was previously on it, has been removed as well as the OS...My son was messing with it and all I could get out of him was he was on a blue screen and swiped to reboot and he thought it said no OS installed. So, I have the done the Alternate method for rooting, however, when run the kfu, it says its online but boot status is unknown. I can not get it to say any different. What am I doing wrong?

[Q] Kindle Fire - ABD, Bricked, Stuck at Boot

Hello bricked my Kindle about 5 months ago, and I tried everything I could to unbrick it. I recently started to attempt to unbrick it again and ran into the same problems.
OS - Windows 7 x64
KF - Kindle Fire (I got this around December 2011) (Firmware unknown)
Problem - Kindle Fire is stuck on the screen which says "kindle fire." Nothing else happens.
How did you cause this problem? - I was trying to install Cyanogen Mod, and my friend said he knew how to do it. Obviously he didn't.
Was the recovery installed prior to installing the mod? - No.
Have you installed SDK? - Yes.
Does ADB detect device? - No, I've been searching this forum time and time again for new instructions or new ways to do it. Reading other threads, it seems to be a driver problem. Yes, I've uninstalled it, and reinstalled it. I'm installed the driver the old way (Going to extras/google/usb_driver) then I tried the KFU's exe then I tried Amazon's way. Currently, the device (in Device Manager) is named Android ADB Interface. However, if I disconnect the device and reconnect it, it will give me "Unknown Device" and "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
EDIT:I just noticed this is probably in the wrong section. Sorry! If it is, could a MOD move it please?
Additional Information - The Kindle Fire was rooted by me, and I did get ADB working before. Unfortunately, right now I cannot get it working. I believe if I can start ADB, that the KFU should do the trick. Also, if anyone has additional time and is feeling generous, I am more than happy to do Teamviewer to try and solve this problem.
I will continue trying to tackle this on my own. Thank you for your time.

What CM build were you trying to attempt? what version of KFU did you try? I assume you have TWRP or CWM installed? and finally, is the Kindle Fire logo the regular one or is it blue?
Hopefully the answers that you give me will help, and I hope that I can help you too.

I think I got the same problem, and I'm a big noob.
Kindle Fire is stuck at the blue "Kindle Fire" screen, when I go on either recovery or normal boot it just hangs on "booting".
I did not install TWRP so I'm screwed. Tried adb reboot and some fastboot commands in order to change booting stuff so I can fix it up.
I was trying to install ICS through this guide: techhive.com/article/258452/how_to_install_ice_cream_sandwich_on_your_kindle_fire.html?page=2 (I'm not spamming :[ )
I did thesse steps:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery C:\kfu\software\openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img
3. Change the boot mode to Recovery:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001
4. Reboot into TWRP:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Right after I tried to reboot into TWRP it just got stuck into "Booting".
I have no idea what to do now :/
EDIT:
SO for some strange reason, it booted back to the default KF OS.
I unplugged my KF and turned it off, booted my Ubuntu partition, plugged the kindle back in and turned it on... it booted normally.
I'm gonna try and redo all the process, maybe SouKit can help you with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038
Not quite sure if it'll help in your case, but I've seen threads with people solving similar problems with it.

This thread did it for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750250

I used SoupKit to get the kindle into fastboot, then I installed TWRP through SoupKit.
After that I put in my ICS rom in Kindle's sdcard.
Booted up TWRP and installed ICS...
That's what I did, maybe it can help you out in case the other solutions don't work.

I apologize for the late reply.
What CM build were you trying to attempt?
CM 7
what version of KFU did you try?
KFU 0.9.6
I assume you have TWRP or CWM installed?
As for TWRP/CWM I sadly don't think that was installed.
is the Kindle Fire logo the regular one or is it blue?
Regular Logo
Thank you everyone else, I will follow your links and see if it helps.

Cesgore,
Try going into the KFU and installing TWRP with the kindle attached to the computer and see if it installs. It's okay if KFU doesn't see the device, just try it anyway. This worked for me and I was able to get into recovery. If not try installing FireFireFire the same way with KFU.
Also, is your Kindle showing up in device manager at all?

Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. By some miracle I just connected it and a the drivers decided to recognize it (Usually saids Unknown Device, and when trying to update it, it says it's on the latest version). Did KFU, said it didn't see the device. But TWRP installed and it just booted for the first time in MONTHS! I love you.
Thank you everyone else who help!

[Q] Kindle will only boot to TWRP

I'm rooting a kindle, and some weird things happened while I was rooting it, problems with rooting on Windows 8, But now that I have TWRP and FIREFIREFIRE installed, it won't let me boot to system. It flashes on and off of the shiny kindle Fire screen, then boots to TWRP. KFU says it is in Boot STatus 0x5003. Any help?

Ichigo said:
You're in the recovery boot mode. Change it to normal boot mode using kfu.

Hello, sorry to bump an old thread, but when I tried to boot into normal boot mode, it tells me "The system cannot find the file specified." I have been stuck in this TWRP recovery mode for so long. Even when I get into Normal Boot mode, how do I get JellyBean installed so it loads that ROM? I have the Jellybean ROM files on the Kindle, which I can access via TWRP, but don't know how to install. HELP!!!

Well, right now I did a factory reset of the Kindle and I was able to get the KF back to it's defaults. I copied the Jellybean .zip file and gapps Jellybean .zip file to the root of the KF. I booted into Recovery Mode and I was finally able to see both .zip files when I clicked on Install. I thought I could do the Permanent Root now that I did the factory reset, but once I ran it under KFU, it would go through the process to install TWRP and then boot the KF into TWRP, but it doesn't look like it completed the root. How do I complete it?
In the meantime, I had went into Recovery Mode, went to Install and currently loading Jellybean onto the KF. I'm currently stuck at Verifiying partition sizes and it's been sitting there for a few minutes. How long does it take before it's updated to JB?

System Only boots to TWRP and KFU will not see kindle
I have a Kindle Fire 1... Not the HD when I got it in Dec of 2011 I got some help to get TWRP and CM7 Installed on it, and it worked great until a couple of days ago and now there is no help in the kindle fire room anymore so I was wondering if there is someone out there who would be willing to help me to get this to work again either through teamviewer or a Chat of some type, Gtalk, IRC anything at this point to get this to work again.
I have tried everything from a Hard reset, and KFU will not see it and I even tried a unbricking tool and that cannot find it either. Please help me out.
Thanks

Stuck booting into TWRP
Hello Forum Lords, I hope that I found the proper thread for my problem.
I was simply trying to install Cyanogemod 9 on my wifes replacement KF1 after the first KF1 suffered some sore of hardware malfunction and would no longer take a charge. Somehow, somewhere I went horribly wrong this time around. I got stuck at the KF1 logo and eventually I got it to boot, but only to recovery.
My predicament is this: My KF1 is stuck booting into TWRP. Device manager on Win Vista recognizes the KF1 as Android Composite ADB Interface. When I try to use the KFU to boot the device into Normal Mode it says "cannot find the drive specified".
At the KFU starting menu, it says ADB Status: Online, Boot Status: 0x5003.
My ultimate goal is to get this thing running Cyanogenmod again. I am painfully noob at all of this. Please speak as you would to an escaped chimp who will not let go of the keyboard and mouse.
Thank you, anybody

[Q] Kindle Fire 1st gen Stuck at Boot Logo

Hey Everyone,
I have been using these forums for the last year and a half and It has helped me a whole bunch to successfully root all of the android devices my family has. I have however ran into a problem with a 1st gen Kindle Fire. It is stuck at the orange and white kindle fire logo. So a little background, I have rooted this Kindle in the past and succeeded in flashing Cyanogenmod's jb. I changed it back to the old Kindle interface so that my sisters can use it for reading but they wanted to use it for games. I decided that I should just change it back to jb since I would have to go through the trouble of flashing google play. Now, here's when things go wrong.
I started by using KFU 0.9.6 since I was lazy and didn't want to go through my old method. I granted SU and also installed TWRP and FireFireFire. now, I found a rom by Cyanogenmod cm10.1.3otter and decided to flash it onto my device. Everything went fine but it wouldn't boot past the Cyanogenmod boot screen. So I put another rom on (cm10.1.2) and flashed that. It worked and i started using it under the assumption there was nothing wrong. I later discovered when entering the internet password that my keyboard was not working and nothing would allow it to work. I then decided that I would get the kindle rom back on and factory reset and wipe the device. When I flashed the Kindle rom and restarted it, It got stuck and would not boot past the Orange and white kindle fire logo. After 2 full charges and 48 hours, it is still stuck. I tried to check if the kindle showed up under ADB devices and it does but when I run adb shell(for one of the guides) it comes up with "no such file or directory." When I run KFU, adb is online but boot status is unknown. When I try to run any of the tools in KFU, waiting for device is shown and does not go away despite disconnecting and reconnecting/ power on and off.
I have been looking nonstop for the past two days without any help. I have tried to follow many of the guides online, but I never succeed. Can someone please help me solve this problem, I am completely stuck.

You must enable adb on cm10 for one and the driver has to be modified for the pc to detect it due to pid and vid changes in cm10.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 recovery brick?

I was trying to install CM 12.1 to my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and I believe it is bricked. I feel as if there is an easy fix but I have been trying for 2 month to no avail. So I finally decided to make an account to try to fix it. So I was using a tutorial to root my Kindle Fire, (I'm a new user so I can't post outside links yet) and everything was going fine until it would only boot into the blue Kindle Fire logo. After about a month I figured out that it was just my terrible, broken volume buttons, and I eventually booted my device into TWRP. From there, I tried to add the CM 12.1 to the Kindle, but it wouldn't recognize my device so I couldn't get into the device to add the files. So I just backed up my OS, and tried to boot into my recovery. I read somewhere that it is a big no-no. Who knows? Anyways, it booted into a normal Kindle Fire logo, just stuck. I did get my device into fastboot, but it won't recognize the device. Every time I try to use any recovery tool, KFHD SRT in specific, it just says no device found. I've been messing with drivers for ages. I've tried using the Amazon driver installer, tried using Android_winusb.inf (I don't even know if I was supposed to do that) and somehow every time I'd uninstall the driver, it would re-install as Android ADB Interface, and wouldn't be recognized by anything. Not ADB, or any recovery. Any help please? Sorry if this was posted in the wrong section, but please, someone just help me get my device running in CM 12.1 or any CM.
