Kindle Fire powers off after start up - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Kindle Fire that has TWRP 2.0 installed and the Fire!Fir!Fire! (I think... Yellow Triangle...).
I can power up the device, I see the yellow triangle and then I come to the home screen (slider). At this point it powers off. Sometimes it lets me slide the slider, but it still powers off.
During start-up, if I push the power button when the yellow triangle appears, I get to the TWRP screen. This does not help me as I really don't know how to use TWRP to fix problems.
I am very much a novice and need some help fixing my Kindle Fire.

Have you checked your battery?

Yes... currently the kindle is sitting at the TWRP screen. It has been on for about one hour.

Have you downloaded a rom on the kindle?

Okay... I feel totally stupid. The problem apparently was the battery. My daughters charger was plugged into a power strip that was turned off (she is only 11 years old). Anyway... the problem happened even when it was initially plugged into my computer USB. I assume that was due to the fact that it was extremely low on battery power. I noticed that when I was at the TWRP screen it had said batter was 3% (and that was after it had been plugged in for at least an hour). So I waited until it was 10%, unplugged it, and it works fine. It is now charging fully.
Sorry to be a nuisance... thanks for the advice!

+1 ....plus this dosent look like a development thread
a real fix could be, a flashable zip that resets bootmode using pokey9ks bootmode files... I've been meaning to make it but if anyone else knows how, dive in.
but yup, cwm has no bootloop issues. so that's the real fix honestly.

Kindle Fire Wont Power On

Kindle Fire Wont Power On - It was working fine and now will not power on - tried the hard reset - when plugged in I dont even get a light at all - is there anyone out there with a broken fire or know where to get a board and not pay something crazy
I haven't installed anything yet. I powered it up and then powered it down. Hooked it up to let it charge and no light. I have held it for 5 minutes and same thing. I'm guessing the board went out.

You're using a wall charger? Sometimes the USB charging doesn't work if the Kindle is completely out of battery. I'd say plug it in to the wall with the charger you got with your kindle, and leave it for a few hours, regardless of whether the light is on or not. Then try again.

With all due respect, that's just bad advice. If it is a 1st generation Kindle Fire, then there's no need to send it back. Even hard bricks can be fixed rather easily.

Jandycane hangs when I kill apps using the back button on Kindle Fire

So Ive got my Kindle Fire running on Jandycane, and it looks absolutely brilliant and works like a charm except for one little problem. Almost every alternate time when I hold the back button to kill an app the whole thing hangs up and the screen goes blank. Please help.
Same thing happens to me. Not a deal breaker but....

[Q] Another Stuck Yellow Triangle

I used this method: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-kindle-fire-6-3-1/
Rebooted a few times, and the last message is
H:\…\KindleFireRoot631>fastboot oem idme bootmode 5002
< waiting on device >
I look at my fire, and it's stuck on the yellow triangle boot screen. When I push the power button to restart, it does not turn orange, it goes from green to off. I had a problem with the device manager not recognizing the kindle as well, but after reinstalling the drivers (numerous attempts), I got that problem sorted.
How do I get past this boot screen now?
[edit:] deleted stupidity
If you are using Windows, it is highly likely that you need to fix your drivers.
or you could give this a shot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882565
Thanks for the quick replies.

I did read up on this one, but unfortunately I don't have a flash drive that size, and unable to get one atm.
Hope this works!

A 2 gig usb flash drive is all you need
A lot of times, when switching from normal to fastboot mode, Windows doesn't know what to do with itself and apparently goes on strike. It is usually the number one reason people have problems here because it is notoriously difficult to fix sometimes.
The "Kindle Fire For Beginners" guide has a section on drivers in the second post. You should have a look at it.
Tried it again with the same procedure, and this time it worked. I had KFU on standby just on case.
I guess it just needed to sleep on it. Thank you all that replied.

Any options for possibly bricked phone?

Can you boot into recovery or Factory Reset mode? Hold volume down + power until Factory Reset screen comes up.
No I can't. Could not even get into recovery after easy unbricking. Phone never acted right after doing that. But now it's all dead.
My computer does make the device connected sound when I plug into computer but can't ever find it with adb

Well this morning I was able to get into recovery, not sure how but when I plugged into the computer it just came on. But I accidently went to sideload and couldn't do anything from.There so I had to pull the battery . Wasn't ever able to get in back in. But now when I plug it in to my laptop the capacitive lights start flashing. Any clues what that means?

That means its out of battery. Plug it into an AC charger and try again.

As someone who's taken every chance with his Nitro, I agree entirely. Get that puppy charged and head on over to the unbricking guide:

It's a pain, but it seems like you'll eventually have to do this anyway if you're interested in installing any roms
