[Q] Help! Stuck in Kindle Fire Recovery

I tried the unbricking guide on here but did not work. I could not get fastboot to work.
Here is the exact message I get on the screen:
'Your Kindle has detected a problem and must clear app storage. The recovery process will erase some applications and data from your device. Apps from the appstore are stored in the cloud and can be reinstalled later.
This will reset your kindle to its original factory settings. you will need to re-register your kindle prior to downloading items from your Amazon account.
Please press power button to proceed.'
After i press the power button I get a status bar indicating the restore, it then says success, then reboots and ultimately comes back to the same restore screen as noted above.
Any help is appreciated.

I have the same issue, I had just used one click to gain root access and was changing permissions to instal Vending.apk under /system/apps
A bit more information I've gathered:
* I can run adb push/shell before the Kindle Fire starts the recovery mode.
* BUT when I try to run a adb shell command I get the error
Code:
/system/bin/sh failed permission denied (13)
I've spent the best part of the day trying to find a solution to no avail. I had a good read through this post too.
I did find a couple of threads talking about a factory reset cable, I don't know if this would be any good?

PLEASE HELP

As soon as i get my factory cable and time I'll make a guide. But really all you need to do is flash the images from the 6.2 update via fastboot

Yeah I got to that point to where it doesn't just go into logo, but infinitely boots you into recovery mode. when you launch adb it even says its recovery mode and all the folders are hidden/missing.
Sigh, I fixed my kindle and got it working again then I broke it again by accidentally changing the entire system folder to chmod 644 haha.
Anyways so far I have found no fix around it so I just returned it and got a new one. live and learn I guess.

What did you do exactly to put it in a boot-loop? I did this once before by tampering with some system files, but i was able to push the regular one's back using adb.

I made a factory cable and managed to get fastboot working to flash over a new system image.
Does anyone have a system.img file for the Kindle Fire?
OR know another way to bring up a shell via fastboot?
I might just wait till next week and see what the status is then on the CM7 ROM.

I really need to get me one of those factory cables :S but they are sold out on black hat at the moment.

hey dk560 or JandD
how was u able to get ur kindle work again? where u get the recovery files or original files? my kindle stucks in flashin kindle fire screen over and over..

plz any suggestions...thx!!

I dunno. But I think I may have the same issue. Got brick while doing wallpaper n now my fire stuck at fastboot and window cannot detect n fastboot nv finish the run always in waiting for device. Does this mean the doom for my 3 dar old kindle fire?

finally i solved it!!
IF YOU THINK MODIFYING PERMISSIONS ON /system/app IS WHAT CAUSED YOU TO BOOTLOOP THEN FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356257
thats what was my problem...it worked for me..after tmp root then this steps..and finally kindle was out of bootloop...thanks!!

I have follow that link, but my kindle now seem to be in fastboot n window detect kindle fire as unknown device. In cmd, device cannot be found, and fastboot rerun say waiting for device but nv work, I try, really wanna resolve the mess I created. I try to read n understand how to resolve but my current issue wasn't mention.

I'm still stuck with a screwed /system partition on the Kindle Fire.
I tried Calvin's instructions on installing CM7. I couldn't adb push the update.zip to the sdcard as my system folder was corrupted. I did manage to flash the Clockwork program via flashing updaterecovery.img
I got excited when adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip copied over, however following Calvin's instructions for Clockwork gave me a failed to mount /sdcard error. I'm guessing the clockwork mount points are virtual mount points of some kind and not the physical device
Still seeking a system.img for the Kindle Fire. I'll give it a try building one myself I guess.
UPDATE:
This post helped on building a system.img - foiled by remote data too large problem
If a rooted kindle fire user could install mkyaffs2image and grab the system.img file for me I'd be very grateful!
"mkyaffs2image /system/ /sdcard/system.img

factory cable
I think your likely in the same boat as me - though for another reason. I can't get a shell from adb and have screwed up r/w access to /system files trying to change permissions with File Expert in order to get android market to work. Seems to be one of a couple of common themes. Anyway, as far as I can tell I'm going to have to get (or just make) a factory cable in order to throw it into fastboot so that I can boot from usb. If you'll read this entire thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20017371#post20017371 then you may get a better idea of what you're dealing with. JackpotClavin has so graciously donated his time and skills. You'll have to be patient for complete instructions but I think they'll be forthcoming soon. Me, I'm going to go ahead with the cable as there's not much else I can do without shell methinks. If I get something workable first, I'll post for all.

I have the same problem. I did the same thing you did, right after I did it I realized what I had done I had an epic face palm moment. Ill try to make a factory cable from this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/146492-how-why-make-your-own-motorola-factory-cable.html -- after I'm in fastboot I have no idea what to do. Looking foward to JackpotClavin's guide. Thanks JackpotClavin!

I came across this and couldn't find a solution to my issue. All issues seem to be different, but in my case I could have my device recognized in the Kindle Fire Utility, and it noted that I was in recovery mode. Trying to change one of the boot modes caused it to just hang at the activation screen.
While it's hanging if you just try to cancel the operation, CTRL+C, it will suddenly decide it wants to work, and then you just tell it not to stop. Then you're back in normal boot mode and business as usual.
Just thought I'd share since this was about the only thing that showed up from a series of google searches involving the words recovery loop, lol.

every time i load a rom in recovery (i do all wipes) it always boots back into recovery

As b63 linked you, download that utility, and then do this:
-Turn your kindle off by holding the power button down for at most 20 seconds.
-Plug kindle into your computer
-Run the unbrick utility
-Turn kindle on
-Wait for the Caution Sign with the fire logo (firefirefire logo)
-Choose first option on utility (Recovery Loop)
-Wait... (a max of 10 minutes)
This should work, if not, try to turn off your kindle on and off, and then try again.
This should work regardless if your device was found or not. This sounds like the problem I had. I wish you guys the best of luck.

Stuck in boot loop after failed root.

i was curious to get get android market on my kindle today.. and looked up how. i used the kindle fire utility to root it. then my KF it started to go into a loop of the boot logo. it just flashes on and flashes off over and over again.hard reset doesnt affect it at all, it wont even turn off unless i unplug it. it doesnt show up on my computer either.
i dont know if this helps but when i ran the Kf utility it said 'findstr' not recognized.. blah blah blah. and it didnt give me the 1234567 options on there. i just typed in '2' and pressed enter because thats what the video told me .-. it doesnt have a triangle, or a blue screen logo either just the kindle fire logo flashing off and on. I honestly am lost. please keep this noob friendly
i am running win 7. 64 bit.

It seems like your stuck in fastboot mode. You need to reinstall the drivers manually and then go into KFU. Press 1(bootmode)and 1(normal). If you still want to root it, when it gets to installing fff, and if it says <waiting for device>, you need to do a hard reset and your Kindle, unplug, plug it back in, and manually install the drivers. Then it will finish rooting.

How do you reinstall the drivers manually? and also when i go into the kindle fire utility it doesnt give me 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 options... it just says findstr is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. and another thing i tried another utility on here and it said it said my device was not found when i plugged it in , is it because it turns off every 5 seconds?

First before you mess with your drivers shift+ right click on the tools folder in kfu select open command window here power your device off completely leave it unplugged type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product when it says waiting for device plug in your powered off kindle it should then power on in fastboot mode if you get the response product: kindle then type fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 it will say okay hopefully the type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot it should then reboot in normal mode
Edit: hit enter after each command

Sounds like there's some sort of PATH problem with your setup, which is why KFU won't work properly. You'll have to manually use ADB/fastboot commands if you want to get things done.
About it turning off constantly, it's probably out of battery. Use the stock wall charger (it provides a greater power output, don't bother with USB or a random clone) so it can refill some. The bootloops may be due to a bad boot mode, but it's a bit hard to pinpont with your description of the issue.

You might have corrupt drivers. Here's how to reinstall them:
Try going to your Control Panel >> Device Manager. If you see an entry for "Android Phone," (Android ADB interface) delete it (and any associations with Portable Devices >> KF or Kindle Fire).
Restart computer.
Then go to your KFU utility folder, open "install_drivers.bat" (right-click "Run Administrator"). This shouldn't take long at all.
You might want to restart here too after.
Then open KFU utility, plug in Kindle - if all went well here, you should read something along the lines of "Online" and "4000".

I am a similar situation
Hi Guys,
I rooted my KF with no issues, was able to copy the Jellybean and Gapp zip file to the SD and thought I flashed with no issues. Then rebooted. Now the KF is stuck in a boot loop. If I boot to recovery, that works and allows me the recovery options. if I boot up to normal, it constantly reboots, if I boot to fastboot, it displays the Kindle Fire logo and says "press power button to boot menu" at the bottom and does nothing else. My computer recognizes it as Android ADB interface but will not allow to access the SD ram. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's usually better to start your own thread here on Q&A.
Are you able to access the SD Card from TWRP? (Mount USB)
If so and the ROM is still in there, wipe cache, dalvik-cache, factory reset and system, then flash/install the ROM again (don't install gapps yet) and reboot. If it boots all the way to the desktop, reboot to recovery and install gapps.
You may also want to check the ROM's hash.
You haven't mentioned what versions of TWRP and FFF do you have, either. Hopefully 2.1.1 or 2.2 for TWRP and 1.4a (blue "fire" on the kindle fire logo) for FFF.

Thanks for the info and sorry for the incomplete initial info. I will check this as soon as I get home and can work on it again.

Thanks for your help. It turns out that I didnt even have TWRP installed. Thats fixed. I was able to get roms installed and have different problems. (Will start a new thread in another area) Thank you very much for your help.

[Q] Kindle flashing and factory software

Hi everyone, I have two kindle fire, I messed with both of them.
I've root them the first one has the problem with the yellow triangle logo stucked. And the other one I've tried to reset it to the factory settings and everything was cool until I hit the TWRP utility and I think I erased everything.
I've see tons of posts regarding rooting and troubleshooting related to rooting and i'm pretty sick of rooting, I think that 3 months is sufficient time, please DON'T POST anything related to rooting.
I'm here asking if anyone knows how to flash all the data ofthe kindle from the pc and been able to install the factory software, firmware (I don't know) from scratch from my pc. Anyone, please?

The first one is probably stuck in fastboot. Try giving it a go with "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000 && fastboot reboot".
For the second one, "I think I erased everything" is as descriptive as not wanting people to post about your procedure is helpful. What exactly is going on with it? For future reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644970
You should also update both FFF and TWRP on both devices once they are working normally.

If i may suggest flashing modaco first after a good wipe everything except your sdcard I believe this will make a smoother transition if you desire to return to stock before returning to stock always do a good wioe to remove remnants of previous roms download the latest stock bin and rename it to update.zip do not place it in any folder just at the root of your sdcard flash in twrp this will also wipe out twrp and fff I really dont recommend doing this lots of people fail at doing the procedure correcty modaco is stock with only the market added try this approach first then you can retain fff and twrp for custom backups.

Ok, so, I've been investigating and what I'm really looking is to erase ABSOLUTELY everything from the kindle sdcard, system, etc, everything. And I'm looking for a method to sideload from the pc the orginal stock ROM of Kindle Fire. Any clues, directions? Any fully functional software?
I really, don't want to try the adb commands (I've tried them before), nor follow any tutorial about root troubleshooting.
I'm really sick of them and of all that mal-functioning software that you have to download(Eg. Not-responding superOneClick, kindleFireUnbrickUtility saying in one line <No device found> <Processing something> <Congrats, your kindle is good to go! (When it's not)>, Eternal loading Android Commander)
With all due respect I DON'T want any more of those, as I said, 3 months is sufficient time, I feel so frustrated.

Read from "Reverting to stock software". You can manually rename the file and then copy it into the KF instead of using ADB for it, just make sure the extension is .zip and not .zip.bin (Windows hides extensions per default settings).

To restore back to full factory
1. Download Kindle Fire Software Update Version 6.3.1
2. Rename the file to update.zip
3. Get in to TWRP and mount USB drive
4. Copy update.zip to Kindle Fire
5. Unmount USB drive
6. Do factory reset, then wipe system cache, and dalvik cache
7. Flash the update.zip
8. Let it bootloop about 3 times or so...
If you want FFF and TWRP then flash Stock 6.3.1 Basic from TWRP. This has no root or gapps.

When trying to execute the adb shell commands all I get is:
- exec 'system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
I've also tried, fastboot update | flash | boot | flash:raw
This is with one kindle, with the other one, I can't even get the PC to recognized it as a USB
Is there any tool, that really erases everything and take the stock ROM to be installed again? Software, script?

Ahh, that's a bother. It's a pretty annoying error. Could be something messed with your TWRP (I'm assuming you tried the commands from there).
There isn't one, but there's really no need for it... you just rename the ROM to update.zip, wipe cache, dalvik-cache and factory reset, and install update.zip. If you just want to flash stock because you like it better for whatever reason, you could also just look at the MoDaCo custom ROM instead, as it is stock based.
As for the other KF... you can't get it recognized, from where? The ROM? TWRP? Fastboot?

Both of the kindles, are damaged. I can't access them. I just can access one by USB.

For future reference:
This user's issues have been partially dealt with.
The first KF will require a factory cable to be fixed.
The second KF was soft bricked (there were a few corrupt partitions) after a bad flash attempt of the stock ROM. Luckily, FFF was still installed, but the Windows fastboot drivers weren't. Reinstalled FFF+TWRP from Firekit, and then fixed the partitions, wiped and flashed the stock ROM.

Ok, So, I have the factory cable. How can I test its Ok?
I have another question, the kindle is pratically empty no system, no sdcard memory, probably corrupted ¿How do I use the factory cable, to format the Kindle and install the Stock ROM again?

With the KF off and unplugged, type "fastboot getvar product" on a shell (KFU/tools).
Then plug in the KF using the factory cable. If you get anything listed or returned, it should be working fine. Otherwise, if you wait a few seconds and still nothing, you'll have to check the drivers to make sure the correct fastboot ones are installed.
To check the partitions, you can just "fastboot boot twrp.img" to load a TWRP into memory, and then "adb shell parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 p" to print all partitions' information.

Well, I'm at my job now. So I will try this at home, but the shell is not working since system/sh (shell) it's not in the Kindle. I was trying to boot it yesterday with "fastboot boot twrp.img" and nothing. I also tried: "fastboot getvar product" and nothing but I only used the console. Anyway, let's see what happens...

Quick question, I've read that the factory cable puts the Kindle straight into bootmode, ¿So the color of the power button, has something to do with it? ¿I mean how do I know the kindle has entered factory mode? ¿The orange light is an indicator? (With a standard USB Cable I only get the green light with the power button, with the factory cable I first get green light, then orange light)
I've also read that if I can see the Kindle fire logo, the bootloader is Ok. Hence my Kindle is OK, but I can't enter fastboot mode. ¿Can anyone confirm this?

It'll get stuck in the bootloader screen, and fastboot commands should work as well, provided the drivers are properly installed and working.

OK, I've finally made myself a working factory cable. And in the device manger I can see the kindle listed as "Android phone" and in that root it says "Android ADB Interface". Look like drivers are not working. Where can I download them?

Those are the proper drivers for fastboot you should be able to use kfu to send twrp and fff to the device if that doesn't work you will need to fastboot flash them

All I get is < waiting for device>. Looks like the drivers are not installed.

Simply hold the power button down while connected when it says waiting then power it back on and it should send also try unplug replug when it says waiting

Cant mount SD card on kindle fire.

So I was messing with my kindle and it was trying to upgrade it to jelly bean and i guess i missed one of the steps and bricked it. I was going through the process of unbricking but when i was trying to do extract the update.zip folder it would not allow me to because it could not mount the SD card. All i need to figure out how to do is get the SD slot mounted. I am slowly picking up on command prompt and still trying to figure out adb shell but that is all i need help with.
I can unbrick it if someone knows how i can get my kindle to mount back to my computer!
Any advice or step by step for it would be very helpful, Thanks guys

I can only get to CWM. It does nothing but boot loop and does not go any farther then that. I can plug it into the computer and get the drivers connected and KFU can recognize it. when i put it in cwm this is the first thing i see

Forgive my redundancy but please describe the "boot loop". Does it just sit at the Kindle Fire logo? Does the Kindle Fire logo flash, or change brightness? Does it make it to the boot animation? Black screen?

It will go to the kindle fire logo and then it would go to a black screen. It makes no boot animation. It will change some brightness. The words kindle fire are in white and blue. It flashes where is needs to do the boot animation and then just goes to a black screen

The image shows a very low battery. The behavior you describe suggests a low battery. You're in a boot loop caused by no power.
Let it sit for several hours (better...over night).

It might be a good idea to consider installing TWRP rather than using CWM. CWM is known to have problems with some newer ROMs.

The image shows a very low battery. The behavior you describe suggests a low battery. You're in a boot loop caused by no power.
Let it sit for several hours (better...over night).

I have tried to install it from KFU but it is always has a problem doing so. I let it charge over night and it is still doing the same thing. Here is what is says when i try to install twrp

Replace the TWRP.img that comes with KFU, with the ACTUAL one from the TWRP website.

Ok i did that but it still will not let me connect the kindle to the computer it keeps giving me sdcard errors. any idea how to fix the sd card issue?

Hey were u able to fix it??
Had the same problem with mine when I used TWRP to format my SD card..but was able to solve it..
What I did was a very simple thing..got the kindle recognised as a drive..used windows partition manager to format it
It worked.. I tx the stock and installed it
Try it and let me know

I had the same problem before and only had to reboot the kindle.

Nothing is working. i have given up all hope. Like this is crazy. It is screwed up for good. I cant get it to mount. If anyone wants to take a shot at it just shoot me a pm with an address and we can discuss something about trying to fix it or what the hell i did to it. Its crazy! and really messed up.

I have an Idea. If you have fastboot working on your computer. You could try flashing a rom from your computer by typing
fastboot -w(wipes device)
fastboot update <path to rom> (flashes rom)
If it works, you can then fix the sdcard easier with adb/shell/partition manager. Its worth a shot.
I also found this on a website
ROM update without SDcard
If you don't have an sd card, or your slot is broken you can try this trick, but you will need a custom recovery like Clockwork.
Boot up your phone to recovery. And move your rom file to the adb directory, and start a command line ( cmd )
adb shell
mount data
adb push D:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finised, and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard ( mount the data folder into your sdcard folder, so your recovery will think that you have an sdcard installed )
Locate the ROM .Zip file you wish to flash.
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions (ie: pressing the trackball, pressing the call button, etc.)
If no errors arise during the flashing process then the ROM flash was successful, Reboot the device.
With some root file explorer, remove the rom file if you don't need it anymore, to free up space.
Or use adb to remove the custom recovery
adb shell rm data/custom_rom.zip

I will give it a shot. Only thing is i dont think there is even any software on here. when i try to get it into fastboot mode here is what it says.

Then you need a factory cable to get into fastboot.

When you see the error message:
Code:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)
It means you don't have access to the shell in order to switch bootmodes and access recovery, which is needed to fix this type of problem. The only way to change bootmodes without access to the shell, is in fastboot. Unfortunately, you need access to the shell to change the bootmode to fastboot as well...catch-22.
For this, you need a factory cable. The factory cable will tell the device to boot into fastboot without the need for a shell. Even with a factory cable, and access to recovery, you'll still likely need to either reformat, or repartition your sdcard in order to get it to mount.

Can't mount SD card on kindle fire
I was in a similar situation and after reading the various forums i came across this action "hold down the power button until the kindle goes off and continue to hold for about 30 seconds I believe this resets the kindle and then tick debugging and mount usb storage the sdcard will open on your pc" and then you can go from there. Worked for me so good luck.

The TWRP.img file that comes with KFU is not TWRP. If I had to guess, it probably uses wget to download the file, for legal reasons? Maybe? Who knows? Replacing it with one downloaded from the TWRP website would probably be the easiest route.

You're going to have to clarify that a bit. Stuck where? The Kindle Fire screen? If so what does it look like?

The situation changes.
I dunno ecxactly i did, but my KF begins to stuck in the KF logo Screen, not anymore on loop triangles and windows begin to see my device.
So I tried the fastboot commands, but choose wrong:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
and now my KF stuck in triangles loop again and the windows can't se him anyomre.

What does your Kindle Fire logo look like?

Kindle Fire wrote on White and Orange.
But don't stuck there, after the logo disapear the triangles begin to turn in loop.

Try to pay attention. You are in normal bootmode, with a corrupt file system caused by CWM. When the device is "stuck" at the boot logo it is in fastboot. Fastboot mode is needed to install TWRP and a host of other activities. All of this you would understand if you had read the Kindle Fire for Beginners guide stickied at the top of the Kindle Fire General forum. You would have been directed to that page if you had read the sticky at the top of this forum, labeled "Before Asking For Troubleshooting Help...". With the exception of CWM acting up (arguably), these are the most basic of Kindle Fire problems and it is a waste of time for people to have to go over them constantly, and unecessarily.

The "red letter one" is CWM. You already have it installed. (I shouldn't have assumed you had access to it)

As I said before, that put you in normal bootmode. And, as it is said in the KFFB, you can only issue adb commands in normal mode. Issue the adb command to change the bootmode to fastboot (4002) or recovery (5001).
[Edit:]Use your command line to change the bootmode. If your computer won't detect the device for adb, there is a problem with the device drivers (also covered in the KFFB) and need to be reinstalled.

Yeah, I undestand that. The problem is that I don't know what I exactly donne to KF acept my commands. The only thing i've donne for sure is that I change the USB port, but I tryed again with no sucess.

I am stuck also at the Boot Triangles in loop - I am having the exact same problems as you are Reinaque, so just know your not the only one.
I have tried all of the different tools, but I am still stuck in the CM10 boot logo. Also I am stuck on "Waiting for device". My kindle is recognized by my computer on 4000 boot mode through KFU.... It won't allow me to write any commands through ADB... Stuck with you!
EDIT
It will not for the life of it let me get into fastboot!

Well, I don't know what to do anymore.
I tryed with another PC, installed the correct drivers and try almost every fastboot command with no sucess, the KF still don't aceppt the commands.
I will try something with firekit.
Damm, I really think that I lost my new KF =[
