I flashed cm10.1 and latest gapps after rooting with kfu and going to twrp to flash zips. After rebooting the kindle stays on the rotating CM splash screen. Is there anything I can do to revive my kindle. I can't get my PC to recognize it and I can't get to recovery. I have the correct drivers installed bc i used the kfu only a few hours ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated

When you plug in the usb to the computer do you get any change in windows device manager? like an unrecognized kindle fire (yellow triangle) under usb or similar?

Looks like you might need to reflash. Don't forget to do a wipe/factory reset...

That's a strange problem. Have you tried to reinstall the drivers or use a different PC? If it can get into the boot animation, you should theoretically be able to get into recovery/TWRP... Sounds like a bad flash may have happened so try a newer/older build. I hope it goes ok...
Use this to replace the the one in kfu driver folder http://db.tt/vXXeuL10 and rerun the driver bat, that will get adb going again. Try reboot recovery to enter recovery or use kfu to set your bootmode to recovery. Bootloader? fff will take you to recovery as well.

I replaced the file and still shows ADB status as offline and boot status as unknown. The computer makes the noise that a device is connected once the kindle reaches the CM screen but the that is it, ADB is still offline. Also, the kindle fire logo at start up is no longer blue, it has reverted to the stock orange color.

I have the same problem with CM 10.1 with the splash screen. It loads through FFF 1.4 and gets to the spinning splash screen which appears to be half off the screen and just sticks there. I used the 0102 version of the JB 4.2.1 CM10.1 SGT7 rom by twapriv. When I flashed it using TWRP 2.2.2.1 it said "successful". I try to install the 121212 Gapps zip and it wouldn't work, saying unable to unzip. However, after a reboot the splash screen does what I just mentioned.
It appears we aren't the only ones though (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051331&page=24) according to stewtang's post. I guess I'll retry to flash an older version and see if that works. Anyone have this problem and found a fix for it?

I have always been able to get into recovery. However, I did find that my /system/bin/sh file and all other system files are completely missing. I have yet to fix this, as this could be some of my problems. I don't know I'm still a noob at this. I have reflashed TWRP 2.2.2.1 while in fastboot mode using a factory cable. I just bought one for $6 on ebay from a US seller. Using this cable I find that the KFU works more like it should. It actually tells what boot mode status is currently instead of just saying unknown.
I know I did something wrong or out of order when I tried to root my KF because it is very difficult to do an ADB PUSH command successfully. It takes a few reboots and then a trial and error until it works right. As for the latest 0102 update for CM10.1 and SGT7, I haven't been able to get passed the cyanogen splash screen.
I would like to know if that update includes all the files necessary to run JB 4.2.1 or is it a completely different OS altogether? Again, uber noob here.

So a question for both of you. Did you do a clean install (wipe everything but SD card)? Also does it hang on the CM screen or does it endlessly reboot? Did either of you have previous ROMs installed?
When I installed CM10.1 on my friend's kf, at first that happened. I don't know what happened, but it took me a couple tries before it worked. Try redownloading the ROM and Gapps, and remember to wipe everything beforehand, and wiping cache before flashing Gapps.

Yes. I performed a clean install and unfortunately I am unable to re-flash anything. When the kindle boots it endlessly stays on the cm splash screen and I can't enter recovery or use the kfu.

Looks like you may not have FFF so you probably can't get into TWRP... Have a look at this thread.

So for you, when you turn on from off, possibly from a hard force-restart, what do you see? The original orange kf logo? And it goes straight to the swirling cm logo?

Yes that is what I see, but before I flashed it the kindle fire logo was blue.

I had the same thing happen to me when I flashed my kindle fire demo unit with CM10.1, it turned out to be some sort of an issue with the twrp recovery when I reflashed it with the cotr recovery that the kindle fire utility program also has as a alternate this worked just fine. I did notice that when I tried to use twrp to wipe my unit it didn't seem to fully wipe the unit. doing the same thing under cotr took longer.
The reason I think it was twrp is that no matter what version of CM10.1 I used be it a nightly or the M3 experimental build, it would still just show the distorted logo and never finish booting. this happened even after I wiped the /system and cleared cache and dalvik cache.
After I flashed cotr recovery I did the same thing again using the exact same zip files for CM10.1 and gapps and it worked this time.
I have a similar problem with you guys. My Kindle is showing the orange logo and then continues to the CyanogenMod animation where it loops infinitely. The logo is also off center, half of it is off the screen. I cannot enter the recovery mode in any way. KFU shows it as online but unknown boot status. ADB shows it as offline.
Any suggestions on how to fix it? Will I need a factory cable?
I'm in the same boat, tried soupkit in linux and no dice, windows recognize a device while the CM logo is looping but the kindle drivers or adb drivers do nothing.

In both of your cases, if you don't have FireFireFire installed which will allow you to access recovery with the power button, you need a factory cable. And remember to factory reset next time.

I did, I was going to sell it with CM10, I rebooted, did a factory reset, reinstalled cm.zip and gapps.zip and rebooted....lost firefirefire and stuck on CM logo. If I buy or make the factory cable, will it be easy to "revive"?
Edit: Saw it on eBay for $4.45 free shipping
Hey, I was stupid and tried to install a rom without factory-resetting my kindle. Now I am stuck at the splash logo boot loop. I tried the unbrick utility, but it can't find my kindle. I have access to fastboot commands, but not adb. Don't ask me why, I just can't use adb. I don't know how to restore my kindle to a working state. I have a fastboot cable available. Thanks in advance. Im a noob btw.:crying:

Kindle fire 2 bricked
Neeshers said:
I'm guessing it's looping from the kindle fire screen not the cm10.1 screen, correct? If so, you can use the command, "fastboot -i 0x1949 -w". That will wipe userdata and cache. But if it's looping without even loading the rom that's probably not going to fix it.

Ok, I am now not stuck on the splash logo. i reflashed the recovery and boot partitions and now it is trying to boot, but there is currently no os installed. Is this a good sign that I can fix it? I am in slc for the weekend and cant flash the system partition yet.
Another question. I tried installing twrp on my recovery, but i cant boot into it. it wont show the blue logo. do i need an os installed to use it?

Yes. os MUST be installed for our recovery to function. Specifically a file called 'stack' has to reside on the system partition

i got similar problems. rooted it, but i got afterwards some problems with superuser applications. ran sveral rooting methods, but at some point, it stucked now with the orange "kindle fire" logo.
tried also to use different recoverys (kindle-fire-ultility2, KF2_SRT_10.2.3) but nothing helped. i cant reach the device anymore. adb says: no device in list and fastboot: <waiting for device>
actually i use the supplied cable. or am i wrong to use it for fastboot. thought the supplied one is similar to the special fastboot cables from e.g ebay
/edit: sry, just realized after reading the FAQs, that the factory cable is a different one. sorry.
Hello,
I have a kindle fire 2 and recently rooted it using this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2075959, and then I used this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...light=recovery, to add twrp so I can flash CM. Everything seemed to go well except that I am unable to enter recovery mode. When booting normally it works fine and loads into the kindle OS but obviously, I want to replace that. I have tried searching the forums and trying a few different things but so far nothing has worked. I'm open to any suggestions or ideas.
You try "adb reboot recovery"? Or a similar from a terminal or adb shell like this: su -c "reboot recovery"
That should get it to recovery, if it doesn't then consider reflashing recovery and check the md5sum of the files this time to make sure it's intact.

Flash 2.6.3.1 I had issues not booting into twrp with 2.6.3.0 and had to search other places to find 2.6.3.1 for hte kf2. After I flashed to the update from ADB it booted recovery just fine.
Hi all! I'm hoping I can get some help. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 "Jem". I successfully rooted it the other day, and after switching laptops, finally was able to access fastboot on the computer and get the successful output. I followed the directions from this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105. I got all the way through it successfully to the end of step 3 to reboot into TWRP. However, once I rebooted, I get a constant bootloop on the static Kindle Fire logo. No twrp (I put 2.7.0.0 on there, and checked to revert to 8.1.4, but based on what I have read, I MAY have forgot to check the box to load stack).
I found SRT tool from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 and used it to successfully get the Kindle to show fastboot on the screen. However, now I'm at a loss as how to continue. I made backups per the 2ndBL+Twrp thread but I have no idea how to proceed. Any assistance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very proficient in using the commands, but can follow the directions pretty well (or so I thought lol).
Thanks again for any guidance.
Ok I got it back. I figured out I needed to open up a new command prompt in order to enter the fastboot flash commands and flash my backups on to it that I made following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175. Now going to try this again and hope to get TWRP and CM working on it this time around.
UPDATE:
Okay, I'm now further than I have ever gotten before. I have successfully installed TWRP version 2.7.0.0, able to access it no problem. I installed CM11; I have tried both CM11 20140702-NIGHTLY-jem and CM11 20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-jem. Before installing each one, I wiped system, cache and dalvik cache.
However, with each one, this is the problem I'm having. I am stuck at the cynogenmod boot screen (blue alien/android with the arrow circling). I have not been able to get past this. Is there any guidance that you all can offer me to get past this? When I saw that cynogenmod bootscreen pop up, I was so excited and relieved that I got past the blue kindlefire logo this time around, but am again deflated. I know I can boot back to rooted stock from my recovery files so it's not a total loss. I just so want to see it load up as android!!!
Thanks in advance...hope someone sees this. I didn't want to add another topic to the board, so the title doesn't reflect my current issue. So I hope that it'll get some answers. If I should make a new topic, please let me know. As my post count reflects, I am a newbie here. Thanks so much for all the hard work that you all do to help us!
Success!
Just wanted to update!
After wiping cache/dalvik cache/system and then wiping factory reset, and then reinstalling CM11 M6, it finally worked! SO now my kindle hd is now a beautiful full fledged android! I just want to thank all of the people here with all of their knowledge and guides, answers to questions in the threads...I finally figured it out and feel accomplished! LOL.
Maybe you can give me a hand as you've recently gone through this:
tried the 2nd bootloader instructions and the '8.9 Flasher' zip found on these forums, but right now I'm just stuck at the kindle fire logo (not moving). I can get into fast boot, but don't know what to put in there to get me either back to stock, or into CM11.
I (like a fool) didn't make a backup (i used the flasher zip first, and neglected the backup option), so are there stock images out there I can use?

When you restart your tablet do you see the blue KF splash screen? If you can you should be able to sideload a ROM onto TWRP.
If you can't get into TWRP then see this restore tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 you can flash the images manual from the tool if you'd rather not run the bat. Choose option 3 if you do as that includes the recovery as well.

im still in the process of fixing everything, but I was able to move past where I was (stuck on static kindle fire logo) by using fastboot to push the stock boot.img, recovery.img from hashcodes post, and then using the system.img from onemeila's rescue post (also wiping the cache)
im still in the process because my KF did an OTA update (!>@#) while I was pushing other files to it, so I had to start over again.

Don't worry, if you can boot to fastboot you'll be fine. I'm in the air right now but PM sd_shadow on this site and he'll likely help you.

I used TWRP 3.0.0.0 and it worked fine. You need to load the recovery image file with boot loader not the zip file
