I looked at almost every thread I could see that sounds like my case but in every one the device is at least being recognized by USB on the computer, in my case it has absolutely no recognition.
I had custom gedeROM. gf didn't like it and so I decided to go back to stock.
within TWRP I did Factory reset, then installed the stock bin file that i renamed to update.zip. Install went through properly so I restarted.
Now it is frozen on Kindle Fire boot screen, and it won't go further. Attaching it to a computer with USB will power the Kindle on but the computer will not detect it, tried on 3 computers, Windows 7 and Linux. I have tried to use all forms of unbricking, everything except opening the Kindle. But since the device isn't being recognized by USB at all on any system I don't know what to do.
With a Factory cable help with this?
Thanks for any help.

Did you have adb and fastboot setup on linux when you tried?
I'm pretty sure I did, I used the firekit and that didn't work as well. how do I check if adb and fastboot are for sure running when in linux?

Installing Amazon's stock update.zip gets rid of FFF and TWRP, so at this point, your only choices are either getting a factory cable (recommended) or cracking open the case and resorting to the USB short trick + firekit.
OK, I have an order for the Factory cable coming so hopefully that will do the trick. Thanks

Hi,
My rooted KF started behaving, weirdly so I decided to start from scratch and unroot it using the ClockworkMod recovery utility interface that was automatically loaded when I rooted it using Breakdroid. It started life with 6.2.2 but then updated itself to 6.3, so I downloaded the following file to do the unroot, and converted it into a .zip file called update.zip.
//kindle-fire-updates.s3.amazon...1E_4019920.bin
and went into the ClockworkMod recovery utility mounted my KF, did a factory reset, then applies sdcard update.zip which appeared to perform sucessfully, however when I rebooted, it launched the Stock KF screen, no fire fire fire, and has since stayed there. Can anyone please help! Many thanks.
Does KFU recognize it? If it does you are good to go.
Hi,
Nope. I'm using a Mac, so I use Breakdroid, and it's not picking it up.

Actually a factory cable, while nice to have, doesn't seem necessary in your case. (Hint Read about the different bootmodes.
Hi again Soupmagnet,
So I eventually got hold of my factory cable which I ordered off Ebay from Hong Kong, so I plugged it in and hey presto, nothing happened. I'm still stuck on the Kindle Fire screen. I've been using a Mac and Breakdroid doesn't pick it up at all. I decided to see if a PC could pick it up using KFU, and it's still offline, although in My Computer I do see an external drive and device manager does call it Kindle. I have a feeling I am the 1% of bricked Kindle Fire users that have well and truly properly bricked their Kindle. Could it perhaps be the cable not in fact being a factory cable at all? I'm getting pretty desperate with this situation. Can you offer me advise.
Nickvon
Oh and further to my last I was changing boot modes but as it couldn't recognize the device, it was pointless.

Take a breath, relax, and rest assured that you are more likely in the upper 90% range.
As I said before, the factory cable, while nice to have isn't usually required to fix most devices. All it does, is puts the device in fastboot mode and provides direct power to the device via usb in case of low or now power
Your problem is simply a matter of fixing your drivers so you can communicate with the device and change the bootmode.
[Edit:] It's been a while since this post was first started so I forgot you were using Mac instead of Windows.
Open your Terminal and enter the following:
Code:
cat ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
Your output should read:
Code:
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x1949
Anything other than would explain why you aren't able to change the bootmode normally.
Are you using Terminal commands to change the bootmode or are you using Breakdroid?
Hey I'm a brand new member so I apologize in advance if my problem has been solved already, however, I could not find anything on any of the threads. Okay so I am severely confused right now. I have had my Kindle Fire for almost a year now and this problem has never occurred. Ever since I got my Kindle I have been experimenting on it. I rooted it and have flashed many different custom roms. I had been using TWRP Recovery 2.0 for a long time and when I found out that it was outdated I updated it to the new 2.2.1.1 version...Everything seemed to be working perfectly until I tried mounting USB storage in the new TWRP...It did not work. My computer wouldn't recognize it. I kind of just let this slide since I figured I wouldn't need to mount USB storage in TWRP unless it was an emergency. A while later I switched back to the Kindle's stock rom. That's when I noticed that it would not mount...Not only was TWRP not mounting, but it was my Kindle altogether. I deleted all drivers that had any thing to do with Android from my computer. After restarting both my computer and my Kindle I tried mounting again...Nothing. The drivers weren't even reinstalling. To test wether this was a problem with my computer or my Kindle I got my brother's Kindle Fire (Never had any tweaking done to it) and mounted USB storage. It installed the drivers and mounted just fine. I then plugged my Kindle back in and it mounted just fine also. I thought I had solved the issue, but about an hour later I tried mounting my Kindle again and nothing happened. My brother's Kindle will mount (Actually there are a total of four Kindles in my house all of which have not been tweaked except for mine) but mine won't do anything. As a last resort I deleted EVERYTHING with TWRP and flashed the Kindle Fire 6.3.1 update.zip. My Kindle is now true factory default (no root, custom recovery, etc...). I thougt for sure this would work but IT STILL WON'T MOUNT USB STORAGE!!! When I plug my Kindle in and go to "Devices and Printers" it recognizes my device as a "Kindle" but I just cannot get it to mount! I am now stuck with a Kindle that cannot be re-rooted or anything due to the fact that it cannot be recognized with ADB. Sorry for the long post...I am just trying to give as much information as possible. By the way I am running Windows 7 and my Kindle is the only one that will not mount which makes this problem have nothing to do with drivers or my computer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Wheww okay well try a factory reset this will wipe your sdcard as well. It should resolve most your problems. There are multiple things that can cause this to happen but one thing that really comes to mind. Are you ejecting your kindle before hitting the disconnect button? Just a wild guess but failing to do so can cause this disorder the very next time you plug it in. Something that could resolve minor sdcard issues is
Code:
fastboot oem format
don't let this make you to crazy yet RC soupmagnet should be releasing something very soon that will solve the majority of SD card mount problems hint hint . You will need to reroot and flash a custom ROM on it to have success though. So if nothing works hang tight and stay tuned.
This might help

Thepooch, no I had not been ejecting it before disconnecting. I'll do that from now on. Also commands do not work because my computer doesn't recognize my Kindle as either a storage device or an ADB device, and what does it mean what it says "fastboot not found"? I made sure I have the fastboot.exe in my ADB folder...Soupmagnet, I can't get those commands to work since I'm no longer rooted and my computer doesn't recognize me...

Yeah I downloaded the newest Kindle Fire Utility and installed thoose drivers. When I plug my Kindle in and go to "Device Manager" it lists it as an android phone with ADB Interface. If I plug any other Kindle in then it installs new drivers and doesn't list the ADB Interface. Is this normal?

I don't use Windows so I couldn't tell what's normal for that OS.
Use the tutorial here to confirm your drivers are installed properly. Then Shift + right-click on your KFU "tools" folder with adb.exe and fastboot.exe, and select "Open command window here". Enter your adb or fastboot commands there and see how it goes. Start with "adb devices" to see if you are connected. If not, reinstall your drivers and try again.
Some ROMs have different product IDs than the stock OS so you may want to look into that if you are using a custom ROM, and edit your androidwinusb.inf accordingly. I know some JB roms have a PID of 0004 instead of 0006.
If for some reason Windows refuses to cooperate, you could always set up a Linux LiveUSB and get it done a lot easier.
Okay so I've been fiddling around with stuff. I completely uninstalled all Android drivers again then restarted my PC and Kindle. This time I plugged my Kindle in and it installed the correct drivers. It mounted USB just fine. When I tried reinstalling the ADB drivers that came with Kindle Fire Utility it erased the Kindle's normal drivers, so now it won't mount anymore...at least I know that it is a driver problem and that my Kindle doesn't need to be repartitioned. I'm really getting sick of Windows and its annoying drivers...Any ideas on how to get all the drivers to work? If not I think I might just install Ubuntu and screw the need for drivers.

If you run the driver bat packaged with kfu with the device plugged in sometimes it will waste the mass storage drivers. It`s always best to run it then plug the device in and see what windows decides to install. Unplug, replug, unplug, replug as well as try this while in recovery because it will also attempt to install the drivers as well in recovery.

I downloaded the lates kindle fire utility and I enabled debugging, I can see my files but when I run the utility file the adb says offline. I cannot figure it out. : (
Yesterday I wanted to connect my rooted Kindle Fire to my computer to sync books onto. I would connect it with a micro USB and the notification would come up to connect the kindle to my computer and I did as i always have. Only this time the kindle said it was connected but my computer shows no external devices in Computer except in the bottom right an option to Safely Remove USB Device is still their while my computer does not recognize it. After restarting the Kindle and my computer multiple times i tried using several different micro USB cords. After giving up I decided to factory reset it in the Kindle setting. It reset and started to reboot and it froze on the Orange and white Kindle Fire logo after the blue and white bootmenu. My Kindle Version is 6.3.1 and TWRP is 2.1.1. Every time i try to open normal boot mode and reset boot mode it would freeze and the only thing that is working is Recovery mode. I figured that something went wrong so i tried to wipe the system from TWRP and reboot it but the same thing happens. After searching for an answer i came here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1977311 I read it and tried to mount my Kindle as a usb device but it still will not show up on my computer. So now i am left with a bricked Kindle Fire and can't connect it to my computer to try and fix it. If anyone can help PLEASE!!!! respond as soon as possible!
Reinstall drivers from kfu.
Then try mounting USB through twrp again.
It also appears that the computer recognizes the kindle but you can't see it in computer? Go to the device manager on your computer, and see what your kindle is recognized as.
Even if you can't get your computer to fully recognize it as a mass storage device, try to push through the steps in kfu. If kfu says " waiting for device" restart the kindle.

I know its too late now but never ever do a factory reset from settings if you are rooted .sounds to me like u have a soft brick and should be able to get it back especially if you can still get into twrp you also need to make sure its a first gen kindle and not a second gen. The second gen kindles have locked bootloaders and have to be rooted differently than a first gen

Luckily you have FFF installed (blue & white KF logo). The orange & white logo is the stock boot animation. Typically this would be a big problem, but you have FFF and access to recovery so all is well.
You need to download a ROM and get it to your sdcard so you can flash it in recovery. If you want to keep using stock, I'd suggest using MoDaCo rather than attempting to revert to stock as that would only compound your problems.
You have a couple options but considering you can't get your sdcard mounted to USB, you may be looking at bigger problems. Try to "adb push" the ROM to your sdcard. If for some reason when you navigate to the sdcard in recovery, you only see a single TWRP folder and nothing else, you'll have to reformat...maybe even repartition (easier than it seems).

"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh"
So as the title suggests I have a bit of problem.
Problem: Kindle fire (gen1 6.3.2) won't show up on adb or as a connected device (Windows 7, previously worked fine)
How I got there.....
So I ran KFU 9.8+ so I could root and install JellyBean
It was
< waiting for device >
trying to install fff
and it was taking a long time so I closed the window to try again.
This left my kindle in fastboot.
After trying KFU again it wouldn't recognize the device.
So I used fastboot and booted into twrp off of my computer.
From there I got to the regular twrp screen, and decided it would be a good idea to root my device from twrp.
So it booted up and I got a notification to finish the root process, which it prompted me to download SuperSu.
It booted up and tried to install the update.zip which failed and booted up normally.
So now I can't connect over adb, and windows 7 doesn't recognize it at all.
I'm trying to find a way to get firefirefire on it so it won't fail when it tries to root itself.
I did a system restore on my kindle, notification still pops up.
I tried booting it into fastboot with KFU, without luck.
As of now the kindle boots pretty much normally and works fine except for connecting over usb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What i would do of i were you is uninstall everything on your computer that is related to the kindle. Do you have another computer you can this Kindle on to make sure that it isn't a driver instead of your computer.

Oddly enough my kindle shows up just fine on my mac, and a win7 desktop.
Although on the windows machine there was a problem installing drivers, but it still popped up as a removable drive.
Do you think i'd be able to run KFU on it again without any hiccups?
Also along with that, how long should I let it run?
Is this a 5 minute procedure or like 30min?

You can check to see if ADB sees the device. If it does then you should be able to use KFU. It's been a while since i used the KFU as i have been rooted for a few months and have forgotten what it has inside it.
I will recommend to always check your adb and make sure it works because from ADB you can tell the device to do a variety of different things. This came extremely helpful when i was working on my gf's Insprie 4G and i by accident froze the device.
Also, this procedure is really fast. I've rooted a bunch of devices and they all take no more then 10 mins. Unless you have an HTC device and have to get the bootloader unlock from HTC (as in the Inspire).
ok first here is my problem
I have a Kindle fire that is stuck at the boot logo for cm10 from what ive found out due to not clearing the cache prior to rebooting
also with KFU running and the KF hooked up it reads adb status online and boot status unknown. when hooked up through the regular usb cable it goes through to the cm10 boot logo and is recognized by the computer and kfu
when hooked up trhough the factory cable its neither recognized by my computer or KFU and only stays at the kidlefire orange and white logo.
NOW how i got here
little sister got the KF and of course wanted more out of it. rooted and installed twrp and proceeded to flash roms through twrp SHE DIDNT INSTALL FFF. she said she got it stuck first on the AOSP? boot logo also what we later found out from not clearing the cache. then was able to get in through KFU to reboot back up to recovery and flash back to factory setting but still with twrp installed. well then went on to flash cm10 again without clearing the cache AFTER flashing the final gapps before rebooting and got it stuck yet again at the boot logo.
so with her being out of town i wanted to fix it for her so i got a factory cable and what not but wanted to try first through kfu so i hook it up and its recognized and what not well when i go to push 1 for bootmodes i accidently hit 4 i think and starting installing twrp AGAIN while it was STUCK at the cm10 boot logo. and that was the last thing that got me stuck to where the boot status isnt noticed
WHAT IVE TRIED. everything
kfu doesnt find the file for bootmodes now so i tried command prompts and thats saying device offline
so i got a factory cable and that makes it to where the computer AND kfu dont recognize it at all???
i also get with the regualr usb cable MTP USB device FAILED with the litt;le yellow caution triangle under Portable Devices but
shows it under Android Phone as Android Composite ADB interface???
but as stated with the factory cable it IMMEDIATELY says USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED
with regular power it boots and gets stuck at the cm10 logo screen
with factory cable it only goes and stops at the orange and white kindle fire logo
i hope ive provided everything i can and hope someone can help out. thanks guys and its been some great reading on this site

Best way to get things working here is to run Kindle fire utility, run the "intall FireFireFire" option, it will say waiting on device, with your kindle off, attach the Factory cable to the kindle and then plug it into the PC. Hopefully this will get the bootloader installed, and while you're at it, go ahead and reinstall TWRP, as it shouldn't cause an issue. After you get the bootloader and TWRP installed, you can wipe caches and see if that helps.

hey thanks mthous
Ya i told her if she would have installed the FFF that alot of this would be a whole bunch easier.
As for installing the drivers ive done that and it IS being noticed by the computer as i stated with the reg. usb cable, In KFU its read as ADB Status ONLINE but bootmode status UNKNOWN. so its being recognized just i think since the Kindle is stuck in whatever bootmode that its not being read.
ONLY WHEN i plug it in with the Factory cable is it completely invisible to the computer and unrecognized IMMEDIATLEY after attached to the KF.
But im going to try that last piece of advice but i had tried something similar with going to the KFU and choosing option 1 then choosing i believe option 2 for recovery mode then hit enter and it said "waiting for device" BUT as usual it didnt even read that the device was connected with the Factory Cable. IS there a special different kind of driver for the FACTORY cable that i dont know about? MAYBE its not made right???? i bought it from a reputable ebay dealer. and it DOES alter the state of the KF by keeping it at the KF logo instead of going on through to the CM10 boopt logo.
i dont know.
ANYONE reading this with some idea please chime in cause its gotten to the point where i just turn the KF on to see it light up and watch the cm10 boot animation thinking of the day that i will one day be able to use it :crying::crying:
so im just going to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
seems my problem is the drivers and what not so hey why not right. SUCKS i had to search so many places to even know FULLY what pokey (the op) was talking about.
such as making a bootable usb. finding the diagram on how to short out the kindle and things of that but i fully feel confident that this will fix it. also ive included my links incase anyone else is having this problem and isnt as good at searching.

What was your outcome? I'm having the same exact issue, and I'm pulling my hair out!
i have one other option you might wanna try.
using fastboot cable, get to the kindle logo and plug it in to your computer.
delete your .android folder located at c:\users\%your user%\.android
open kfu and it should say offline
run the option to install FFF that might do it.

I can't get anywhere, or flash anything. It just boots up, and goes to the off center CM logo.

Might be a stupid question to ask - but it seems like you already have firefirefire due to previous flashing and etc, have you tried pushing the power button repeatedly during the boot to change the bootmode?
This can be an easy way to get into recovery and do a complete wipe then reflash. I had an issue similar to this and it was because I forgot to do my wipes because I was focused on getting my device recognized by KFU.
sorry been lazy and i gotta search where all the links were now... but def going to do this today sometime.....oh ya links are in my post lol ok well i WILL get back to see if this "drastic way" works is it wierd that it doesnt seem that complicated to do it this way??? i feel like im missing something like it should be alot harder. idk ill find out and get back.

This can be an easy way to get into recovery and do a complete wipe then reflash. I had an issue similar to this and it was because I forgot to do my wipes because I was focused on getting my device recognized by KFU.
