Yeah you have a flat battery most likely hold power button for a minute plug into your computer via usb for a few hours and leave it alone it should charge when mine went flat I was able to use stock wallcharger with same method and it charged but usb is recommended
ill try it

I have a Kindle Fire that I have successfully rooted and using CM7.
I let the battery completely discharge and since then the device has been stuck in what appears to be a boot loop at the fire fire screen (I have a video of the problem but because this is my first post I am not able to post links, you could find it by going to graham dot doel dot org forwardslash kindlefire)
It won't turn on unless a usb cable is plugged in. When the usb cable is plugged in the apparent loop starts.
This is what I have tried:
1. trying to charge the device.
2. trying a hard reboot. Holding the power button for 20 seconds, doesn't make any difference.
3. connecting via adb, the device isn't seen.
4. Making a factory cable and trying to connect via that, but no joy there, the device isn't detected by the computer (windows or linux)
Could anyone make any suggestions about how to unbrick this device, I have searched high and low and have found nothing that helps or works.
Thank you
the repeatent on/off is typical - what happens:
kf tries to start - battery breaks down - kf tries to start - battery ...
the only solution i know is to charge with the wall charger for some hours (over night)
but if you plug it to the wallcharger it turns on
so press and hold the power button till it turns off to allow the kf to charge
Thanks. Pressing the power button seems to have no effect what so ever. Do you have any other suggestions?
i meant to hold the button till it turns off -> ~30sec
that it is off when on the wall charger
don't know an other solution - worked for a lot of others
I have tried this. the power button doesn't respond. plugged in or not.
Hello !
Same problem for me ... I let the battery completely discharge and since then the device has been stuck in what appears to be a boot loop at the fire fire screen... I plugged it (in the wall) pressing and holding the power button till it turns off to allow the kf to charge but there nothing ie no orange/green light... Do you have an idea?
Same problem here...
Here is my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22685015
Since it is quite obvious to me the device will never work again due to this POS battery, does any one want to buy it for parts? Or can Amazon repair it, even though its rooted with a custom ROM and recovery?
I have found a solution!
The problem was a power problem. I tired a different more powerful charger and It gave me enough power to turn the unit off and let it charge up.
Hope that works for others.
just for information:
the original charger is 1.8A - you should use one with nearly this power
i use a 1A and it's working fine - nevertheless i think that is the minimum
please mark the subject of the topic (edit first post) with [Solved]

Just wanted to indicate my experience:
1.0A Charger = Boot Loop
1.3A Charger = Booted!
Yay!
have a headache from reading ... and re-reading...

I have this exact same problem on my stock KF. Powers on with wall charger plugged in (no light green or red), immediately shuts down when unplugged. Been through all of the forums guides KFFB and the linked ones by Kinfauns I purchased a factory cable attempting to make it fast boot on computer, no power at all. Doesn't appear to have any effect

I am at my wits end . Is there some type of battery failure that would account for being on charger for hours and not keeping the charge? or since it does boot up would it still be the software not in fastboot to allow a charge??? I plug in the wall charger, press button until it shuts off, and left it for several hours ( one last time going to try longer than overnight)
Hi all,
Ran into something new and may be educational to all of you at my moronic expense.
System Config:
Rooted with twerp recovery 2.0 and i am pretty sure i am running kernel 3.0. I have the Kindle fire utility as well as the Kindle Unbrick Utility
What i did:
one of my biggest enjoyments with this community is the folks at CM, so after flashing a new CM9 rom, i believe i left the fire too long without charging her. Battery died completely.
My problem:
plug the fire into the wall: power button turns green, screen lights and yellow triangle comes on with the "press power button for recovery' phrase.. after 15 seconds (approx) power button changes to orange and the fire reboots. power button turns green, screen lights and yellow triangle comes on with the "press power button for recovery' phrase.. and the process continues over and over again.
plug the fire into USB: same thing
Tried to use KFU:
fire will not mount so obviously device will not connect.
stuck at <waiting on device>
Device will not even register on the desktop. so the driver fix that is running around as of late failed
tried to shell with ADB: fire will not mount so obviously making a connection will not work
tried KUU:<error: device not found> and <waiting on device> are the returning messages.
I believe this is beyond the soft brick realm however, if any of you super developers out there can assist, I will greatly appreciate it.
thanks in advance
sounds like a dead battery.

with that in mind, is there a way to charge the battery without having the KF power up or run through the loop it is currently in?

attach it to the stock charger and let it charge. or as its booting up get into recovery and charge from there.

will it charge going through this perpetual cycle?
it seems when ever i plug anything in to attempt to charge the KF, it is vaulted into this cycle.

Having the exact same issue and no one seems to help past this point. :/ If you find an answer would you mind shooting it my way too? I've been searching for days about this.
While it's plugged in, hold the power button until it shuts down completely and leave it alone for a while. If that doesn't work, your next step is a factory programming cable.

Your welcome my friend let me know how it goes let it charge via usb when your back to the system software you can then use the the stock wall charger.
I installed the AOSP JELLY BEAN 4.1.1_r1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765288) the other day and it was working fine. The problem is, I used it too much and the battery died on me. Fine. So I plugged it in to my pc via usb to charge it up. The Kindle fire boots to the TWRP triangle and then instantly shuts off. Well I thought maybe the battery is just really drained so I left it plugged in and went to work. Got home and it was still doing the same thing; boots to the TWRP triangle and then instantly shoots off and repeats. I unplugged the usb and tried using the outlet charger; same thing. Disconnected and tried to turn it on and nothing happens.
Figured I maybe bricked it somehow (even though i didnt update, delete, wipe anything). So I tried using the unbrick command lines...nothing. Tried the KFU cant find my device since it shuts off every 2secs.
I cannot figure out whats going on. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Plug it into the charger and hold down the power button until it shuts off. Then wait for a 2-4 and check back on it.
Once it boots back normally make sure to update FFF and TWRP.
That didn't work. I plugged it in with the ac adapter and it wouldn't allow me to turn it off (i plugged it in then tried to turn it off). I let it sit for 8hrs and still boots up to the TWRP logo and instantly turns off and wont even turn on without it being plugged in. Thanks
Hold the power button down for 1 min it should shut off
it still does not work
Please post here some detailed instructions to turn on this device.
I'm tired of holding on and buttons in different combinations.
Sorry for bad English
If you have fff 1.4 a there really is no magic combination just simply power it off and plug it in via usb to your computer. If you do not have fff 1.4a then look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623244

Right so I know this is a long shot and the Otter2 kf2 is pretty old but I had it running cyanogen mod with twrp I'd ran an update and now it won't even turn on I plug it into my laptop and it just keeps connecting and disconnecting saying device cannot be recognised also when plugged in the power button nolonger lights up either it did have 50% battery at the time so it's not dead any ideas? Tried holding the power button down for 30 seconds and nothing I'm guessing it's bricked it's self is there away to fix it? Tried a fastboot cable off ebay and nothing
