yesterday I can get into the twrp 2.2.2.1 screen,so I install a rom ,and return .But after that install,I can't get into twrp screen.
And I'd like to know if the kf drive only works on WINDOWS7?
you might use kfu to set your bootmode to recovery so you can wipe and reflash a rom also when you see the white kindle blue fire rapidly depress the power button afew times till you get the boot menu if you hold it it will simply just power off...

Okay, well...get it.
Open Terminal Emulator and enter the following commands:
su
idme bootmode 5001
reboot
Your device will reboot to your custom recovery, assuming it's installed and functional. If it doesn't boot into recovery and reboots back to the system, you'll probably want to use "smirkit" to (re)install it.

Hello,
I just received a Kindle Fire and decided to root and install Cyanogenmod. I found a tutorial which I thought looked pretty straightforward on Lilputing. I downloaded the Kindle Fire Utility and followed both the utility and the article told me to do. After installing TWRP 2.0, disaster. I rebooted the device and the Kindle read, "press power button for recovery," and showed a yellow triangle with a fire icon in the middle. I pressed the power button, and nothing happened. At this point, I rebooted. The device would not get passed this screen, and my PC would not recognize the Kindle. I presume I bricked my device, however (as I do not have any experience in this field) I honestly have no idea what I did, nor do I know where to go next. Any suggestions? Please help!
I'm stuck too. And i cannot install the driver because it is an unknown device.

Try this:
1) Download v6 of the Kindle Fire Utility from here. (The forum thread can be found here)
2) Extract the files into a folder anywhere (but remember where, obviously)
3) Go into the folder, then into 'drivers' and open up adb_usb.ini in a text editor and add "0x18D1" (without the quotes) on a line underneath "0x1949"
4) Open up Device Manager and find "kindle". It should have a yellow triangle near it.
5) Download fastboot.exe from here
6) Open up command prompt and navigate to wherever you saved fastboot to.
7) Run the command "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000"
8) Power off your device by holding down the power button for ~10 seconds and turn it back on, and this time don't hit the power button to go into TWRP. It should move past the yellow triangle after a few seconds and boot into Kindle. Hope this helps!
Thank you!
I did, however, find a solution using the Kindle Fire Utility.
With my device connected to my computer, I selected Change BootMode. Next, I chose Normal. That brought me out of the frozen boot screen, so I decided to wing it and flashed Cyanogenmod, and that worked. Thank you anyway for your time.

For me 7 resulted in a device not found, though I fixed this by rebooting the kindle (I guess fastboot mode ends at some point?)
So after I fix this - how do I get into TWRP? Trying to install it from the utility does not work!!

Unfortunately, I don't know. I've been trying to get in TWRP all night and have been unsuccessful. I knew how to get out of this issue because I've put myself here several times tonight, trying to get TWRP to start up...so far, no luck...
I had same problem. Kept booting to "press power button for recovery" but never went to recovery. I had to download and install FireFireFire manually after i installed twrp. Now works great. Just power off then hold power button in for few seconds (until it turns orange) when powering back on, release, then there's twrp.

THANK YOU! This fixed the problem, I just had to find the thread that was ONLY FireFireFire, and not combined with TWRP, since that hadn't worked for me. I included instruction below for anyone having similar issues:
I downloaded the u-boot.win from here then ran
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin
at which point it sait "Waiting for device". So I rebooted the Kindle like had the last several times that's appeared and it flashed it and then I rebooted again and I held down the power button, and it turned amber, like it had earlier, except THIS time it actually booted into TWRP!! Hooray! Hope this helps anyone else having this issue.

I tried this and it won't work, what am I doing wrong ?
Why is there a step 4? Is it only there so I check if kindle shows up or do I have to update its driver so there is no yellow triangle anymore?
EDIT:
So I managed to get it running. What I did is I added the "0x18D1" as in step 3 but after that I opened my device manager and by clicking on kindle (that has yellow triangle next to it) I updated its driver. I chose the location of adb_usb.ini that I edited. After that I ran Kindle Fire Utility and chose option 1 (Boot mode) and in the following menu I tried all of the options. In the option 3 (Recovery) it did something and now every time I boot kindle it goes to the yellow triangle but by pressing power button once it starts normal boot.
Ok, but still I would like to get it completely back to normal if possible so if anyone can help, thanks
It is supposed to show the recovery triangle EVERY time you reboot.
Just don't touch anything and it will continue to boot on its own to the OS.
The only time you should do something different is if you want to boot into recovery, then you push the power button until it turns orange and let go, it will boot into the TWRP recovery.
You really shouldn't need reboot the machine often. I do it maybe once every couple days at most.

To remove TWRP and go back to the stock Amazon ROM, all you have to do is flash the stock Amazon firmware. Use Kindle Fire Utility v.7 to download the stock update.zip, copy the file to the SD card, boot into recovery, and install it.

I had this same problem a few days ago. I fixed it by going into Device Manager, finding the device called "kindle" (it had a yellow triangle next to it) and manually installing the ADB drivers. You can't search for drivers automatically, you have to manually specify the "ADB Composite Interface" or something to that effect.
I have also had this issue, thought it was because I was using a 64 bit windows 7 system.
I had previously installed cyanogenmod 7 using destructions from this forum, and I have also done something similar with my Galaxy S2 (I mention this, because this may be why the drivers havent worked?)
Anyway, I added the line above, then rebooted my PC (twice), and then unplugged my kindle fire and rebooted. I then plugged it in to the PC and it came up as "kindle" in device manager, but had the exclamation mark warning. I clicked update driver and found the updated usb.ini file. Windows did its stuff and then it appears as Android bridge device.
The kindle wa still stuck at the yellow triangle, but selection the fastboot menu option 1, then boot normal and it worked a charm.
Persevere and dont give up!
Thanks to the great advice on this forum, everything becomes easy, once you have found the right posts!

I am having this problem and have gone back to install FireFireFire manually but I still get stuck at "press power button for recovery". If I leave it alone it eventually boots as normal. If I press and hold the power button for a few seconds, it turns orange but never does anything. Any ideas?
I should mention that I'm running Ubuntu Linux - no access to Windows so KFU is not an option. My Fire is at version 6.3 and I've been roughly following the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568340
Hi Guys,
I have an original KF with 6.3.1 and here are the steps I've taken so far
I installed the drivers that came with KFU
In device Mgr in Win I can see Android ADB Interface
In KFU device was "Online"
I installed Root w Superuser
I attempted to install TWRP and am stuck at the part where it says...
"If you get stuck here a long time, check the ADB drivers.." and then "Do not unplug Kindle if stuck here..."
The KF is on the screen w a Blue Fire logo and says "Press power for boot menu"
I am leaving it as is until one of you kind souls can help me out...
Nothing ever is as simple as I think it should be...
Power off power on if it doesn't go to stock is, boots static to same screen or boots to black screen. Hold the power for 30 seconds then power on when you see the white kindle blue fire quickly depress the power button a few times till you get a boot menu. Select either normal boot or reset Bootmode while Will take you to the stock is or boot to black screen. If it boots to black screen repeat process of holding power button 30 second and this time select recovery if it boots to recovery you can mount your sdcard and transfer a rom.zip and gapps.zip , unmount, wipe everything except your sdcard/external storage. Then select install flash rom.zip, flash gapps.zip select reboot then system if prompted or reboot system. If none of this is good boots to black screen or fails to boot to recovery your shell is missing or broken and no recovery was installed. Then purchase a factory cable that will force it into fastboot and use kfu to send twrp to the device and use the above instructions to replace your damaged system. I know sorry slot to swallow your biggest jeopardy right now it the battery dying power it off with a 30 second hold if it will be some time before you get to it or leave it plugged it to the stock wall charger off is the best bet "IF" it is indeed off. Good luck.

when i decide to change rom, after flashing kernel by fastboot and power on phone, I can't going to recovery by pressing volum down.
is there a command for fastboot to boot phone to recovery without pressing volum down?
Use adb i.e. adb reboot recovery
Many ways to do this...Easy wasy out,try an app like rom manager which gives u a direct recovery boot option,or u can use comand line prompts from ur PC ..or use terminal emulator..type in /system/bin/reboot recovery..

Forgot, you can only be connected to adb if the phone's active or in recovery. When it's rebooting are you repeatedly pressing the buttons or holding them?
Hi, I am having a simlar issue. I flashed the Lupus kernel and after i turned of my phone, I pressed the volume down button while i turned the phone on and once it loads it just goes into safe mode. Am i doing something wrong?
EDIT: I was holding the button down. Not pressing repeatedly. All good now. Thanks.

Hi!
Is it normal to lose the ability to get into fastboot via software commands after installing CM10.1? I've tried SU and reboot bootloader - just reboots and stops at the blue KindleFire logo of TWRP. I've tried the fastboot command with the Kindle Fire turned off and disconnected and then plugging it in, and I think that still hangs at the TWRP logo (if I remember correctly). I've tried setting bootmode to 4009 using IDME, that doesn't seem to do anything.
I won't be back from military deployment for a few days, so I don't have my new factory cable to try yet. Just wondering if this is normal, and if not what can I do to fix it?
Thank you in advance,
John

Can it boot into TWRP?
If it can
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
This should get you into fastboot
EDIT:
I so misread the question...so you are stuck at the blue KindFire boot screen and not the TWRP boot screen right?
Thank you for your reply! Now that I have my Kindle in front of me this time:
1st: I have CM 10.2-20131015.UNOFFICIAL-otter2 loaded. Kernel is 3.0.72+. Everything works normal, and I love it, except can't get into fastboot.
Using Terminal Emulator I type in su and get the "[email protected]:/ #" prompt, so I know I have root.
I type reboot bootloader and something appears quickly in response in the terminal window that I can't read because the Kindle reboots immediately. I captured the text to a txt file and what appears is:
Reading idme data ...
Setting bootmode to 7
Writing new vars to temp area
It shows the white and orange KindleFire logo for a brief moment and then black screen. The Kindle appears to turn itself off after the brief appearance of the KindleFire white and orange logo.
The same thing happens if I do reboot bootloader using adb shell.
I can get into TWRP the normal way by pressing the power button at boot time.
I won't have access to my factory cable for a few more days, so so don't know if that works or not.

Make sure to turn ADB on and enable developer options by tapping "build" six times. Now plug your kF2 into a USB port and open a command prompt and type "adb reboot bootloader" with no quotes. You should enter fastboot mode. You should be able to just open a command prompt and type "fastboot" (no tablet plugged in) and see some lines of data which lets you know the path is set right.

adb reboot bootloader and adb reboot recovery both do the same thing - the Kindle reboots, I get the white and orange KindleFire logo for a second and it turns itself off. Press the power button and all is normal. I can get into TWRP by pressing the power key when the blue and white Kindle Fire logo is up.

No, they are not the same thing. One reboots into the bootloader and the other reboots into recovery. My comment had nothing to do with testing a reboot and everything to see if you can enter fastboot mode.
Since you have now stated you can enter TWRP, use this tutorial to push a ROM onto TWRP and then just flash it from there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498
LinearEquation,
I know that adb reboot bootloader and adb reboot recovery are not the same commands and I know that they are not SUPPOSED to do the same thing. HOWEVER, on MY Kindle both commands ARE doing the same thing. And that is why I know something is wrong. Both commands on MY Kindle ARE having the same result: the Kindle reboots, I get the white and orange KindleFire logo for a second and it turns off.
Why would I want to reinstall a ROM from TWRP when I have a ROM installed? Once I press the power button, if I let it go it boots into CM 10.2 just fine or I can boot into TWRP by pressing the power button at the right time. I cannot reboot in TWRP or fastboot using software commands, and I don't even know if it is supposed to be that way, or if it is a problem.
I did not (and still don't) know if it is normal for the only way to get into fastboot is with a cable after CM 10.2 is installed (and I don't know if I can get into fastboot that way for a few more days), or if I need to reflash a bootloader file or which bootloader file I need to reflash.
I hope that clarified what my problem is.
hey guys,
i was bored and flashed a .zip on my phone and now I'm no longer bored. Long story, short... I'm booted into the os (almost) with constant errors popping up. I can't get the power button down for 10 seconds to reboot phone and i want to get back to recovery to flash by back up. How can I use terminal (mac) to force back into recovery if phone is not in mode for adb to recognize phone?
Thanks in advance.
Try hold power button + volume up to force reboot. Once the screen goes black release those buttons and hold volume down button to go to hboot
Thanks for your reply. Seems the power + volume is not be recognized. Is there a way with fastboot or adb?
Otherwise, I guess I wait until power drain.

Power + Volume Up should work. But as you asked for adb/fastboot
1) "adb devices" to check if device is recognized
2) "abd reboot bootloader" so the phone reboots into bootloader
3) go to recovery and try a reflash

This should always work as long as the screen is on. It might take 10 seconds or more, so you may not be holding the buttons long enough.
Alternately, you can use:
adb reboot bootloader
or
adb reboot recovery
There is no required more for adb commands, as long as the screen is on. Fastboot on the other hand, requires the phone to be in fastboot mode.
What did you flash? Was it a ROM, and if so did you do a full wipe (data, cache and Dalvik) before flashing?
Thanks for all the replies. It finally died and I was able to jump back into recovery. I was trying to flash a .zip (one+ one theme) to my rom and some things about it (audiofx) was not liked. I guess adb could not recognize the phone since it was basically booted into the os. I just thought there was a way to still use adb or fast boot to push it into recovery. I did not get to try adb reboot boot loader, but would adb recognize phone even with this command?

Glad it worked and that we could help a
adb reboot bootloader should be recognized nearly any time.
