Okay, so I had rooted my Fire, installed a Rom there and then decided to put it back to stock for a bit and then finally decided to flash yet another rom... This last time it appears to have completely bricked my Fire.
It's stuck at the "Kindle Fire" logo screen. I've tried the "Unbrick utility" as well as several others. It won't allow me to do much of anything with it.
My computer recognizes it as a device when you plug it in. It shows up in device manage as an android device. All drivers had been loaded before, as well as updated.
I'm at a loss at this point, does anyone have any recommendations to even get me back to twrp so I can attempt to do something with it?
Thanks

The device is in fastboot. Use fastboot commands to install FFF1.4 and TWRP, then change your bootmode to normal.

I have tried installing TWRP and FFF before and it doesn't appear to get me anywhere. Is there a special trick to do this?
Thanks for your help btw!
Nope. If your drivers are working properly the device will accept fastboot commands.
obvious noob or oblivious maybe

I've tried pushing fff and twrp and i'm still stuck in the same spot. It's obvious to me that I am needing a complete hand holding baby step guide. I'm admitting my ignorance.
I've tried several different things and have yet to have one that has worked.

Okay, tried Soupkit using Ubuntu 12.04 and still no luck. With the device still plugged into Ubuntu and when I run either adb or fastboot commands I'm still getting "waiting for device". I've tried turning off the KF and then plugging it in, as well as leaving it on. It won't even accept the reboot command from Ubuntu. I am at least able to get that within windows.
I tried:
adb shell idme bootmode 4002
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
fastboot -i recovery twrp.img
All of which just return "waiting for device" and never actually do anything.
are there any other commands I should be trying, or any other commands I'm missing?
Yep, it has come to my attention that the stock bootloader (orange Kindle Fire logo) has a different product ID. I'll post a version for stock bootloaders sometime today.

If you still need help, try using this. It's the Kindle Fire Utility, and you can run the install-drivers.bat file to ensure your drivers are correctly installed, and then use it to change the bootmode. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

Thanks I appreciate your help, but I'd been using the KFU and something happened this last time while installing a ROM that basically bricked my device. But between the help of Soupmagnet and SkOrPn I've got a factory cable on the way and this sounds like it will correct all of my issues.
Thanks again,

I soft bricked my kindle fire hd 8.9 a while back (at least i think its soft bricked not hard bricked) currently when booting up it boots normally and then stops boots into recovery with a message saying there was a problem while booting a remember the way i bricked it in the first place was trying to edit the system framework.
I decided the only way to fix it was to get into fastboot and iv tried every method i could find to get it there but finally resorted to a factory cable.
the cable finally got here and when i plugged it in the kindle did its usual boot into system then recovery @ boot failure.
does anyone have any advice it would be highly appreciated.
Fastboot cable doesn't work for the 8.9" fire HD. Only the 7"

This is how to get into fastboot on kindle fire HD 8.9". The fastboot cable can cause damage to the 8.9". Just use these commands to get into fastboot and you can fix your kindle from there.
With the Kindle powered down, type the following command into a cmd/terminal window on your PC (should return with: < waiting for device> ):
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Then connect USB to the Kindle and reboot. It *SHOULD* show a Fastboot screen and your terminal window should show something like:
product: Jem-PVT-Prod-04
Type this to reboot out of fastboot mode:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

My Cmd gives an error saying that it is an invalid command
You have to install the drivers for fastboot and adb. And in some cases the android SDK. I don't think you need it in this case though. Ill try to provide try drivers.

OP, were you able to resolve your problem? I have a similar issue, but my 8.9 Kindle registers and unregisters from the device manager upon boot.
I have also not had any success with a fastboot cable.

This does not work.
Here's what I did to restore a Demo 8.9 in Windows 10, it should work for you as well.
Use the KFHD System.img Recovery Tool
Download KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4 from the link on that page. Unzip it.
Download the boot and recovery images linked in the Downgrade section of that page. Place them in the KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4 folder.
Connect your 8.9 to your computer with a regular USB cable, turn the 8.9 off.
Run SR Tool.bat, Type 1 and press Enter. Type n and press enter.
Hold down the volume up button and press power on your 8.9. for about 3 seconds and then release the power button and continue holding down the volume up button.
Your 8.9 should display the yellow Fastboot graphic and KFHD will verify that you are in Fastboot.
After that I flash the system with Option 2.
Erase cache and user data with Option 4.
Open a separate cmd window in the KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4 directory, flash the boot and then flash recovery using the commands listed in the Downgrade section of the KFHD page.
Close this cmd window.
Go back to the KFHD window and select option 6, wait for your 8.9 to fully reboot and then enable adb and allow applications from unknown sources.
Return to the KFHD window and press any key to continue, it will install Google framework and then you are done.
Then do whatever you want, install a custom ROM, update to 8.5.1, sell it or throw it in a drawer and forget about it.
So i was messing around with my kindle and accidentally wiped everything on it. I have been trying to flash the update.zip that you can find on Amazon's website but it keeps saying there was an error flashing rom. So i have looked around and people keep saying that you must downgrade from twrp 2.6.0.0 to twrp 2.2.2.1 to flash it. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Okay some background information that might help.
Haven't touched my daughter's kindle in over 2 years after rooting with Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6 and putting CM 10.1 on it, as well as TWRP Blaze 2.4.1.0. Fast forward to today and she says it's acting weird. I chalk it up to it being very out dated and look into updating to the latest and greatest. So I head on over to OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [TWRP 2.7.1 2014-06-08]. I make sure adb is up and running and that I can push files while in recovery. I flash the latest bootloader and reboot. Everything seems normal until I head to the next step of flashing the new recovery. Try to boot into recovery and the device just boots normally... tried to use the fastboot method and it just hangs on "waiting for device". The device reboots, but instead of doing what it's supposed to do, it just boots normally. Now I'm getting a little impatient with everything and no longer having the ability to boot back into recovery. So now here's where I really shot myself in the foot, I proceed to think its a great idea to use the fix EMMC corrupted device option that proceeds to wipe everything (which I knew was going to happen) and now can't get past the fastboot mode screen....
I now don't seem to have a recovery... but I can still turn on the device, see the initial "Kindle Fire" screen with the power options to get into Normal boot, Recovery boot, advanced. Normal boot does nothing but boot into fastboot mode, as well as recovery. The advanced menu pops up normally but I'm not sure if that really matters in this case. While connected to the computer it shows up as an unspecified device named "kindle" with an exclamation point on it. I'm not sure what to even do at this point in time... Any help would be great.

If you get fastboot devices command to work
You need a recovery.IMG file for otterx
Can be found in recovery.zip by extracting files it will be in /cache folder.
You should be using twrp 2.7.1.0 or newer and 2.05 bootloader

Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Yea, no idea why it's not showing up as a device.
I did technically use the EMMC Corruption Fix that wiped everything on my device, just short of the bootloader. Not sure why the computer isn't recognizing it. Must be that my computer isn't really set up for fastboot? Weird thing to is, it no longer shows a serial number like it used to before under the "Advanced" options... Don't know if that's significant. Other things that have changed that I've noticed from the advanced menu is that Charger Mode: OFF (was on before) Serial Console: OFF (was on before) Serial #: BLANK (used to have something there) and that's about it. Don't know if I just need to set up something on my PC end to not only recognize the kindle but to actually be able to use the fastboot stuff. I think that's where my problem my also be.

copy AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, and fastboot.exe to adb folder.
Step 2
install Kindle Fire drivers
check drivers, open device manager, kindle should be listed
android phone>android adb interface
if not see my Driver links / Errors /verify drivers are installed correctly
if drivers are correct
Step 3
Open a Command Prompt (start>all programs>accessories>Command prompt)
change directory to adb folder with
Code:
cd\adb
adb devices

shouldn't matter, but 2.8.x.x twrps are not complete, adb is flaky at best.
try to mount sd card
select Mount> check sd card> mount usb
do you get a removable disk pop up?

try to push file
download zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.zip
and push with
Code:
adb push zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.zip /sd card
command pompt did all kinds of stuff but kindle did nothing
does zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.zip show up in sd card?

yah, adb is not working correctly, probably next step is getting a fastboot cable Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
No
could try
in the reboot options choose fastboot or bootloader
and flash the bootloader and twrp like in the Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery

stock bootloader is just the kindle fire boot logo, I have no idea if selecting reboot>bootloader will cause it to stay in bootloader or it will continue to TWRP
to test use
Code:
fastboot devices
I would send command just before selecting reboot>bootloader
