Rooting Kindle Fire 6.3.1 - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've recently tried rooting my KF 6.3.1 using KFU 0.9.6. My attempts did not work, it left my kindle stuck on boot screen (which i managed to fix). My question is, since my KFU approach is not working (I've tried doing this on 2 different windows machine), Is there any other way of rooting my KF? I've must've read 100 posts today and i can't find any alternative.

I read, re-read, re-re-read this and I just kept spinning myself in circles trying to understand that. Thus I tried the KFU... I swear the more I read the more confused I get about rooting this device.
now if i could figure out how to install a apk file to check that I'm rooted, that would be a start.

Maybe this will help

[Q] Kindle with no OS

I have a kindle fire with no OS, it has TWRP recovery and I was trying to wipe android 4.0 from it and re install 6.2.2 but I accidentally deleted the OS and any hope of re installing it. I cannot communicate with the device whatsoever using kindle utility or Kindle fire unbricker. I played with the drivers for awhile in device manager to no avail. it currently sits in 'Disk Drives' as Amazon Kindle USB device but I cannot put anything on it because it it's showing up as a proper driver or w/e. when I turn it on I get what I believe is the firefirefire triangle and if I choose to I can access TWRP, but when I left it fully boot I get a black lighting. Any help is extremely appreciate. I did look around for a bit before posting my question and found nothing that fit my problem but if there is such a thread I'm sorry I posted an unnecessary one.
have you tried mounting your kindle in twrp if you can then just flash a new ROM and you should be good to go
Sent from my CM9 LG G2X using Tapatalk
I thought I already tried that but I went back and fiddle with a few settings and got access to my kindle, I went looking for the kindle 6.2.2 stock rom and couldn't find a download, I need to find a stock download because brother plans on selling this kindle, I'm only helping because I was the one who rooted and put android 4.0 on there.
TLR; Where can I get kindle fire stock rom at?
One does not simply delete an entire OS.... ;~;

Lol one does simply delete an entire is. I made this same mistake and had to push a is to my kindle while in fastboot mode through adb. Took awhile for me to think of it but it finnally worked and I fixed it.

OK, My command prompt can't find my kindle fire as listed devices. I really need help! Plus, there is no exclamation point (!) all it lists is the Android ADB thing. How do I get it to find the device

Okay, I realize I tend to come off a little "jerky" sometimes, but I really am trying to help. When you hijack a thread that's several months old and post a problem that seemingly has nothing to do with the OP, only to later reveal that there is much more to your problem (even after being suggested to do it differently), it makes other people that would normally be willing to help, think twice about getting involved. Nobody wants to have to ask 50 different questions to get to the root of the problem. You need to realize that the people who would help, probably don't want to do more work than absolutely necessary. And you should be respectful of that if you want some quality assistance from the people who might be able to solve your problem.
So once again, and respectfully, I suggest you click on the link I gave you, read it, do any suggested research and follow the directions given in the post.
Hey I'm having the same problem. I tried to root my kinble fire and accidentilly wiped the stockos off it but I have TWRP on the device, however I am not able to mount the device using twrp to put a ROM on the device to boot to. Any help getting the device to be recognized by the computer and mounting it would be a great help and any other info about installing a ROM to my kindle would also be a big help.

I actually figured everything out about 2 hours after my post. In order to get the Kindle recognized by my pc I had to change it over to USB composite device then I was able to load a ROM on it and I am now enjoying jelly bean 4.1 on the kindle now. I have not been able to restore the kindle os but I am assuming that if I look long enough for the kernal and firmware I will be able to restore it. Not that I have any plans to seeing as I have a dedicated android tablet now that does everything I want it and need to do anyways, I read on the kindle for like 3 months when it first came out, not worried about reading on it any more besides there's an app for it. Anyways thanks for the reply.
Hi, sorry if it is bad manners to post in threats months old but I am also having a similar problem with my kindle fire.
Today I spent hours rooting it and trying to get the google play store to work on it - all in a dangerously haphazard manner. It was really reckless of me.
Somewhere in the process I used KFU 0.9.9 after restoring to stock and re-rooting, then after a reboot the OS would't show up. it seemed like it loaded and everything but I couldn't see anything after it loaded past TWRP. I wiped system, and now am without an OS and only TWRP to use.
Some details:
Mounting works
Flashing stock is NOT WORKING. This is my main problem. I don't know any other method of restoring an OS; I do not know how sideloading with ADB works, or if that would help at all.
Much apologies in advanced for my juvenile-ty
thanks

Root Problem! TWRP not installed! Stuck at KF Logo

I was following directions on how to Root my KF ver. 6.3.1, and everything went wrong. Drivers weren't working, and now, I'm apparently stuck in the Limbo between normal boot and fastboot. I've tried the Firekit option, only to have my hopes shot down fast when my laptop and my desktop refused to boot from my jump drive. Not sure why, but they'll boot from disc drive...weird. It's been 2 days now. Nervous about the battery going out...help!!!:crying:

Well, from what I understand, the tutorial said that if I got stuck, it wasn't a big problem, I'm just stuck in fastboot mode instead of normal boot. Sorry for any misunderstanding!

I just clicked your link and read the information about posting. It's completely correct; there's no way to answer an unknown question after all. I'll try to be as clear as possible: I attempted to follow a guide on liliputing.com on how to root a kindle fire 6.3.1. I went ahead and downloaded the kindle fire utility and unzipped it to a folder on my desktop. I also tried to install the drivers using the file labeled "install_drivers.bat" in the kindle fire utility folder. I thought all went well, but in the guide, the author says that at times, the file may not always work. With this in mind, I ran Kindle fire utility, checked the adb status to see that it was offline, and i started to manually configure the driver by going to device manager. The author said to look for something that said "Amazon", but I only found something that said android...srry, i can't remember what else was there, but I assumed it was the kindle because it's an Android device. But anywho, I went ahead and updated the driver, and the adb status was online in the Kindle fire utility! Thinking this as awesome, i went ahead and installed the permanent boot with Superuser....thats when things went sour. I'm stuck at the KF logo, and my computer will not recognize it at all. I'm at a loss. I'd like to thank you in advance for any advice you could offer.

My apologies about the wait! School is starting and registration is a pain that I've been dealing with for these past couple days. I just recently switched my major from chemistry to computer science, so I may be lacking in a few concepts relating to windows technicalities. I'm more familiar with Unix, so I ask that you bear with me, lol.
I'm afraid I'm having some troubles with the kf utility. I removed and had Windows automatically update the kindle drivers. I also used the drivers batch file on the kf utility itself, and when i attempt to run the utility, my adb status is offline, and my boot is unknown. How would I remedy this? is there anywhere on the forum you can point me to? I can't seem to find anything. I refuse to go back to that old tutorial. It probably wasn't the author, but still...
Unix?...As in actual Unix? Or are you talking about Unix based, like Linux or Mac? This would be a lot less painful if you would ditch the whole Windows/KFU idea and do it manually.

By Unix, I mean Unix based. I'm forced to learn Unix commands for mpi programming and such, lol. I found a cool utility online t restore the kf back to factory settings, unrooted and all. I'm a little tensed up about it, so I think I'll chill out for a little while, and do a full root a little later down the line. Thank you so much for all of your help though. I'd still be stuck otherwise!

I have the same problem, what utility did you utilize?

Stuck in the orange boot loop and can't access ADB, TWRP or USB etc.

Now I'm in an even worse position to further prove my dopeyness. :crying: I installed CM10 and GAPPs in the root of my KF2. Went to do the wipes as instructed and then I couldn't get those files or access my KF2 via ADB or USB and I was stuck in TWRP with no OS. I couldn't do a sideload ADB through TWRP or Terminal Emulator since they couldn't find the device. FYI I successfully installed the drivers by restarting my Win8 computer and going through without signing drivers, but the device still wouldn't show up anywhere.
After that nightmare, I shut my KF2 down to do some work and then when I started it back up again, I was stuck in the dreaded orange Kindle Fire bootloop and I can't get into TWRP, ADB or anything else.
Any thoughts?
Re: I cannot get Boot Status 4000 in KFU and I can't install TWRP & I've tried EVERYT
KFU?
Do you have a Kindle Fire 2 (this is the kf2 forum)? KFU only works on the KF1.
Time to start reading. Too many people doing things like this lately..
Don't use ANYTHING made for the KF1 on the KF2!

I'm a dope. I installed the TweezerMod.apk and I have TWRP.

Before I do that, is there anything else that can be done without getting the cable? Believe me, I searched and read everything I could find on the problem, but since I can't get into ADB or TWRP due to the lovely bootloop (and no OS), my options look very limited.
The super sad part is my KF2 was working great for around 1/2 hour, but I got greedy and wanted JB.
BTW if it might be my only hope, is there an easy way to disable Android SDK as pointed out in the First Aide thread since uninstalling seems like a pain?

Your only choice left is to get the fastboot cable. No Adb, recovery OR ROM....
Not sure why you need to disable the SDK or what to do, since I've never used it on windows. I just use the files I need (adb and fastboot) and installed the drivers specific to this device. I've only used the SDK on Linux

Why have you used KFU?
This post explains how to get TWRP installed on a Kindle Fire 2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36888389
This is from the 2nd to last page on the KFU post.
If it is a 10.x.x version, then you have a Kindle Fire 2nd generation. Do not attempt to use this utility. It will brick. Go to the KF2 forum.
Don't want to be harsh, but the reason people keep bricking their devices, is because they don't read enough before doing something. The creators of these tools could help the situation by adding a model check before the tool runs.

I'm a dumb noob and didn't do enough research, I suppose. I didn't realize it was a KF 2 until today when I asked about the device on the KF forum and was sent to this one. I thought a KF 2 would say it was version 2 somewhere, perhaps on the box, so I assumed it was a plain KF.
In any case, did KFU poison it?
And if so, is there a way to kick start it?
Thanks,

i bricked my kfhd and i havent unricked it yet

[Q] Possibly bricked Kindle...

I recently rooted my Kindle Fire 1st generation to use Simple CM. I flashed it correctly and it worked fine, but to my surprise I recieved an iPad Mini as a gift. My parents asked for the Kindle and I said sure. Now, they wanted to go back to the original Amazon OS. So I downloaded a Kindle Fire stock zip to flash. I soon found out it was only an update... Now my Kindle successfully flashed it, I was setting it up, then it started to reboot, and it showed the launcher screen of Amazon, and then it gave me error pop-ups and it reboots after 30 seconds. I have been trying to get it to recognize on my computer but ADB and KFU aren't working the best. And now it says at 40% charge it will attempt to factory restore. (I will try soon). It repeats booting, then goes to the home screen, then it goes and shows errors and then does it again every 30 seconds. I am 13 years old and probably made a big mistake. I have read the threads on here and no solutions have worked. So I think it is bricked, and I have to give it to my parents by tonight and it has to have some sort of Amazon software or even CM. Is there anybody or anything that can help fix the Kindle Fire?
Thank you in advance, Jake.
You need to access fastboot to wipe data. You may need a factory cable.
In some cases, users have been fast enough to get into the settings and factory reset from there, so you may want to try that first.

EDIT: I attempted to factory reset but it still did the same thing..... How do I enter fastboot and detect the Kindle in 30 seconds?
I attempted to root my kindle fire with KFU and it hasn't powered on or charged since... Is it bricked or can it be repaired.... anyone?

It's still a WIP, but that's the only hope you have of restoring your device.
