Ok so i just tried to download the newest CWM from the kindle fire utility and when i tried to do that it got stuck in what i think is fastboot but i'm not sure. Has the little android guy above the name "Kindle Fire". Tried turning off the device and power back on but it is still stuck and nothing is working. Adb doesn't recognize my device either. Any help would be really appreciated. Here is what it looks like - http://db.tt/gd59KBHe
Type "fast boot devices" in a command prompt and see what you get
sent from my ever evolving kindle fire
Code:
C:\Users\urweb3>fastboot devices
C:\Users\urweb3>
Thats all it did
Did you open the command prompt where you have fast boot installed on PC ie. Sdk/tools/
sent from my ever evolving kindle fire
Yes and nothing is recognizing my device
OK
Try this.
1/ turn of kindle
2/open command prompt where you have fast boot on your PC.
3/ type the following. Fast boot -i 0x1949 one idme boot mode 4000
4/ press enter (it should say waiting for device)
5/ then switch on kindle
6/ fast boot -i 0x1949 reboot(this should reboot your kindle(if not then your not getting fast boot.
Let me know what happens
Edit.. it should be OEM after 0x1949 not "one"

ok well first how do you know that you have fastboot installed? or in the same folder. Let's get this out of the way first.
OK just turn off kindle open a command prompt and type fast boot devices it should say waiting for device. Then switch kindle on and it should show kindle serial no

Windows is not detecting your Kindle Fire properly. The "fastboot devices" should return some alphanumeric characters if the drivers have properly loaded and your device is really in fastboot mode. You need to make sure the right drivers are loading or fastboot commands are useless.
Read this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
Pay particular attention to the second post because you NEED to get your drivers working right first. Then the correct fastboot command is...
Code:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
You don't need the "-i 0x1949" if you have the FIREFIREFIRE bootloader and "bootmode" is one word.

GOT it working. Ignore all posts. Thanks to Everyone!!!!
Did you get the latest FireFireFire as well? ClockworkMid recovery requires a fastboot such as firefirefire.
Try the kindle fire unbrick utility first before anything.
Here, try this.
1. Power on the kindle.
2. While the kindle fire logo and the android logo are on the screen, Try to boot into recovery by holding three power button until the screen goes black. Then, let go. Let it sit for about two-ten seconds, and it should boot into cwm recovery.
3. Select "factory reset/ wipe data option, and after its done, reboot your kindle and it should work properly.
If that failed, try a hard reset.
1. Power off the kindle.
2. Hold there power button for a Full 20 seconds, even when it turns black.
3. After step two is applied, power on the kindle.

I used KFU to root and install FireFireFire (first) then TWRP, after installing the latter, I noticed that the Android above the "Kindle Fire" logo was gone, is this normal. I apologize in advance if this is a repost.
Are you able to use the power button to enter recovery? If not, use fastboot to install FIREFIREFIRE.
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader u-boot.bin
"u-boot.bin" being the name of the version of FIREFIREFIRE you want installed. You must be in fastboot mode with both "fastboot" and "u-boot.bin" in your present working directory (dir).

I used the Kindle Fire Utility to install both TWRP and FireFireFire, I decided to install the "ReloadedRom", it went well until I took the device out of the charger after leaving it overnight. I noticed that half of the screen had pinstripes and the other half was fine. Another question, is how do I get into fastboot? I am familiar with installing roms and such, so I do have a decent background. Thanks in advance!

With FIREFIREFIRE installed you can enter the fastboot command (in your command prompt) with the device powered down. When it says <waiting for device> turn the device on and the command should run when FIREFIREFIRE goes into temporary fastboot mode.
Otherwise:
adb shell idme bootmode 4002
adb reboot
To change it back:
fastboot idme bootmode 4000
Be sure to <shift + right-click> on your KFU/tools folder and select run from command prompt to use fastboot

I was able to get into fastboot, but what next? Also, what is wrong with the screen?
I tried the Reloaded rom today and it seems like the rom itself is the culprit. I was having the same kind of screen problems before I switched back to Hashcode's rom. There have been others here with the same exact problem and they all were using Reloaded.

Update to hashcode's #7 kernel
Sent from my MB865 using XDA
Hello, I have a rooted Kindle Fire (with bootloader) and tried to return it to original Amazon Stock OS.
I tried the steps specified on this page androidcowboy.com/2013/06/how-to-return-kindle-fire-hd-to-stock/
After this steps:
"Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the Kindle Fire SRT Tool and double-click on “SR Tool” file. Choose option 1 for “Restore-Factory Rooted with Superuser.apk”. Be patient as it’s very important. The file transfer can take up to 5 minute with no progress notification. If you interrupt the process in any way then you will BRICK your device. After the transfer is done then choose option 4 to “Erase cache and userdata”. Once it’s finished then choose option 6 to reboot."
It rebooted and seemed to be stuck at the white and orange Kindle Fire logo screen. I can turn it off and on by holding the power button, but my computer cannot detect it as a portable device or ADB. But I can enter fastboot mode by plugging the USB while it is turned off, so I don't think it's hard bricked.. I hope so.
Any thing wrong that I have done? Sorry I'm a noob when it comes to this. Help please?
Btw, my Kindle Version 8.4.1
Is it boot looping on the animated kindle logo or the static image one? Cause either way I'm guessing something went wrong with the flash, you should probably reflash the boot and system images, try using kindle fire first aid if the SRT doesn't work, I believe it has a stock rooted image flashing option like SRT. BTW don't confuse boot with bootloader, boot is where the kernel is stored. Just pointing this out because if you don't need to flash the boot loader then u shouldn't, if it corrupts you have a hard brick.

I do have KFFA, which option should I choose? And mine is stuck on a static image one.
Weird sounds like it doesn't want to even try to load the os, maybe some things wrong with the kernel, anyways I haven't ever used kffa, but there should be an option somewhere to restore system image. You will first need to get the device into fastboot mode, just open a command prompt and CD into the kffa directory, I should have a fastboot command, and run this: fastboot.exe -i 0x1949 getvar product
Then plug your kindle in with the power off. If for some reason it doesn't work, which it should because you seem to have flashed something from fastboot before, then u will just have to update a driver before it disconnects.
Edit: OK fixed sorry for the thread mix up.

Same problem
I have a KFHD 8.9 with the same problem as the OP. It's stuck on the static (orange) Kindle Fire logo. I have working drivers and I am able to get it into fastboot using "fastboot.exe -i 0x1949 getvar product". The problem is, I don't know any of the history of how it got this way. I have repaired a lot of Generation 1 KF's and I thought I would get started on the Gen 2's so I bought this on eBay this way. I didn't realize how much more risky it was to work on the Gen 2. I also have KFFA working but I can't figure out how to get the stock image onto the KF so I can flash it back to stock. When I go into fastboot mode and use KFFA to reboot to normal more it just stops on the static Kindle Fire logo. Also, I can't get ADB to work at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There's an option in kffa to restore the system partition, should be a fairly obvious choice, if you can't find it try the kfhd system restore tool

Well I tried KFFA Option 7 - Completly Restore the KFHD 8.9 8.1.4 (Fastboot) but it didn't work. There is a problem in RunMe.bat with the wget command when trying to download the .img files from dropbox:
Connecting to dl.dropboxusercontent.com|174.129.21.126|:443... connected.
ERROR: cannot verify dl.dropboxusercontent.com's certificate, issued by `/C=US/O

Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority.
To connect to dl.dropboxusercontent.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'
Unable to establish SSL connection.
So then, I Downloaded the KFHD_SRT tool and managed to restore the system partition but it still would not boot. Then I saw down at the bottom of the instruction page that to downgrade to 8.1.4 you also need to restore the boot and recovery partitions. After I did that -- PRESTO! my KFHD 8.9 booted up and is now working.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE HELP!!!!! I will be sure to click the "THANKS" button.

Hey, I got same problem, after I install a bootloader for my KFHD 8.9, the original Kindle OS was unable to boot up, I got 8.4.6 when I recived my KFHD, Is the problem of OS ?
Sorry, but after re-reading my post I realized that I probably gave bad instructions. Mods please delete this post...
So I bought a 8.9 KFHD Demo unit. I gained access to fastboot through command prompt and have all the drivers installed. Stupidly, I used the KFHD System.img Recovery Tool for the 7 inch model on it and subsequently it boots up and says Kindle Fire for a few second, a red screen washes over, and then it says fastboot and stays that way. I then proceeded to erase cache and used the KFHD System.img Recovery Tool for the 8.9 inch version, the one I have. Sadly, it proceeds with the recovery but my kindle is still stuck booting into fastboot mode. Anyone have any ideas? Or did I break it for good.. Thanks for any help
You try "fastboot -i 0x1945 reboot"?

I think you meant 1949, and yah it just reboots it and it boots into fastboot mode, plugged into my PC or not.
Edit: I also saw your other post in a similar thread about restoring stock boot loader but requiring the check of md5sum... was going to try that but wanted to ask if I am checking that the md5sum of the stock bootloader is the same as the one i am downloading?
Well that's one way to look at it because they should be identical if its the same version boot loader, but the md5sum is supposed to match the md5sum listed on the download. Also yes I made a typo in the previous post, thanks for pointing that out. You can also try something like "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1". For the record I don't remember which idme number is normal boot on the 2nd gen devices. The original kindle fire's had a different set of numbers for idme, but I believe the 2nd gen kf's use 0-3, so you might have to try a few numbers to get it right. I looked it up somewhere before and I believe found which one was supposed to me normal boot, but I don't believe i can look far enough back in my posts to find it via the xda app I'm using.

Neither 0-3 do anything, on my kindle. Although, each one says finished in the cmd prompt. Should I go ahead and tr flashing the stock loader on? or should I of done that before trying your line of code.
You didn't necessarily need to flash the boot loader beforehand, and did it reboot after issuing the command I mentioned? If not did u try a simple fastboot reboot afterwards like I Initially said to do? You just need to be careful if you are going to flash the boot loader, like I said make sure to check the md5sum and of course make sure its the boot loader for your model.

None of those commands did anything but I did do the reboot command and it rebooted back into fastboot mode. I guess I will try to flash the stock bootloader now...
So after trying different recoveries I have gotten my kindle out of fastboot but now it is stuck on the Kindle Fire System Recovery screen asking me to reboot or reset to factory defaults because it failed to boot(neither option fixes it). I tried the KFHD System.img Recovery Tool to no avail. Not sure what to do now. Do i need to flash the complete stock OS to it?
I used KFHD First Aide to get to this point. After I use it though, on the recovery screen I get a bunch of errors saying it can't mount cache. On the KF First Aide bat file prompt it says it erased cache, then attempted to format it but it's not automatically formatted as the file system type is not supported. I am wonder is these things are related.
Try running kffa one more time, it usually goes to recovery when something is messed up with the system partition, so try another reflash.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
Same thing happens. Says it didn't automatically format userdata or cache and then when the kindle boots it goes to recovery and the errors says" E:Can't mount /cache/recovery (Invalid argument)
because kffa downloads the files it flashes do you think those were corrupted? It only downloads them once so when i run it again its flashing same files.
Ah well that could be the case, but this error seems to be an issue with mounting the recovery partition which is weird because recovery seems to work fine, at least I think its trying to mount recovery, though that is in the cache path so I have no idea. Might have to ask soupmagnet about this.

hi I have the same problem you once had I have kindle fire hd 7 I two am in this boot then red screen then stuck in fastboot how did you fix this any help would really help me many thanks
You should try reflashing the bootloader, just make sure you grab the right bootloader for your device and check its md5sum against then one listed on the download. If you don't check the md5sum you are liable to hard brick it. From there it should be as simple as flashing the rest of the partitions from fastboot and hoping it works.

Hi, I successfully rooted my KF HD 8.9 with instructions found here
http://androidroot.org/watch_video.php?v=A7HRK4M23YG7
But am now stuck in fastboot mode (displayed on screen). I did have twrp installed and got the blue logo, but not anymore.
I tried KF First Aid, under the option “Display Fastboot Status” I get
“product JEM-PVT-Prod-04
6498000040002FFF fastboot
If you see output above it looks like fastboot is enabled”
Device Manager shows under “Kindle Fire > Android ADB Interface”
Have I bricked my Kindle?
Any help greatly appreciated
Its not bricked, though I would attempt to restore the system partition with kffa since 2nd bootloader is gone. You should be in fastboot mode so that's good at least.

Download Kindle Fire First Aid, find the option about restoring, and if it asks something about is it in fastboot already say yes(or if it asks to put it in fastboot mode say no as it should be already).
tried that exactly as you said, everything seemed to go ok, but when it rebooted it sticks on the kindlefire (orange) logo
Try using SRT instead. Ignore the adb command it lists, that's only for if you have a working kindle that can boot up fully, just stick it in fastboot again and use this utility and see if you have any luck.

Hi, I've tried about 10 times to download KFHD_SRT_v2.0.zip which seems to be for my device, but it fails every time
with message ' the source file cannot be read'. I have downloaded KFHD_SRTv1.3.5.zip, which appears to be for the 7" kindle.
Can I use this, or will the imgs be wrong? There are 4 in the images folder, boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, and systym2.img
The 7" version is not for the 8.9 version, you would probably brick it even worse using that... The ones on that link I sent you are the compatible ones.

that is the one I'm having trouble with, KFHD_SRT_v2.1.zip. While in Kindle Fire First Aid I checked adb and got the message 'adb drivers not installed' so removed and re-installed adb drivers from Amazon, but I still get same message.
Since removing and re-installing drivers my device in device manager now only shows as 'Kindle fire > Fastboot Mode | HD 8.9. It used to say 'ADB Interface'
