[Q] Kindle Fire Stuck in Yellow Triangle After Attempted Root

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

I stuck in recovery mode, what should i do?

Hi guys.
I had installed one of ROM's, i even don't remember the name, it was 5 months ago.
Then in Settings I pressed to reset factory data, which deleted all my applications, personal data and etc.
After that when it restarted, it stuck in TWRP recovery mode..
I tried installing several ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619550 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488930 but after flashing/installing it stuck again.
what should i do? :s
i tried googleing but nothing came up .. :s

Do you have the Kindle Fire Utility installed on your PC? If so you could try using that to set you bootmode back to 4000 (normal).

If you can mount SD card and move a new rom file and gapps try aokp do a full wipe factory/data ,cache,dalvik and system reflash new rom new gapps reboot or better yet flash the new bootloader via twrp and use the power button to toggle to normal boot or change bootmode

[Q] Kindle fire rooted but cannot install TWRP with kfu

Hi all,
This is my first post. I live in the UK and bought my kindle fire brand new from ebay. The software version is 6.3.1.
I decided I wanted to root it quite quickly as I wanted to install apps / ICS etc as I dont find the amazon software useful.
I downloaded the kindle fire utility (v 0.96), installed the drivers (with the fire unplugged). When connected it is seen as android device with the driver as Android Composite ADB interface.
Using the kfu I then selected option 2 (root with superuser) and it rooted fine, although this did take a while.
It is seen in my PC a the drive "Kindle" and I can see the drive contents. On the kindle it says you can now transfer files.
In ADB is says - ADB status: Online, Boot status: 4000
The PROBLEM is trying to install TWRP recovery.
When I select this it says booting into fastboot (4002). The kindle boots to a screen where kindle fire is written in blue and the top of the screen v 1.4 is written, at the bottom it says press power button to choose boot options. TWRP fails to install immediately.
When I press the power button nothing happens until I hold it for 20 secs and the kindle power turns off. When I turn it back on the same blue kindle fire writing comes up and I have to select from:
- normal boot
- recovery
- reset boot
Pressing the power button allows you to select which option and all of them causes the kindle to boot up fine.
I can change the boot using kfu (option 1) to 4000 or 4002, however, even if I select 4002 and then try to install TWRP it says rebooting and fails the same as above.
I also cannot install fire fire fire either - the same problem occurs.
Basically I am totally stuck, am completely f***ed off and want to throw the kindle out of the window.
Answers greatly appreciated. Cheers in advance.
Mark

You might need to install TWRP manually from command prompt.
Put the device in fastboot (4002) and reboot
Download TWRP2.1 and place it in the KFU "tools" folder
Shift+right click on the KFU "tools" folder and select "open command window here"
In the prompt that opens up:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery exactnameofrecovery.img
Reboot and change your bootmode to normal.

thanks dragon
I used kfu to put into 4002, reboot and check it in 4002
I got openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1 disc image and put this in tools folder
I used Shift+right click on the KFU "tools" folder and select "open command window here"
In the prompt that opens up:
C:\kfu\tools\ fastboot flash recovery open-recovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1
I get error: cannot load 'open recovery.......

Did you put .img at the end?

apologies forgot .img at the end
its still just hangs saying waiting for device...........

switched off the by holding the power off button for 20 secs
when I switched it back on it said:
sending 'recovery' (5568kb)... FAILED (data transfer failure (too many links))

Rename TWRP to something more manageable, like twrp.img (optional)
Turn the device off, completely
enter the command
turn the device back on
If you get the same error you might want to check the md5 hash of the TWRP download.
[Edit:] A search of the error message you received points to the wrong type of cable being used. Are you using a standard micro usb cable or one that came with another phone?

I never got a cable with the kindle fire, just a UK charger
I bought a USB data cable from amazon - could this be the problem?
what type of cable do I need??

I can't imagine why your cable wouldn't work, but everything I've seen points to the cable as being the problem. It could have a short or bad connection it it...who knows.
You could try different USB ports to see if that produces any results.

success
changed the file name, switched off the kindle, ran the command prompt, then booted up the kindle
how do I now check this is working?

apologies for spamming you but
where do I put the ROMs in the kindle? which directory?

When it boots up, hold the power button until options show up on the bottom of the screen and select "recovery".

Anywhere...just remember where you put them. (sdcard is the preferred spot)
[Edit:] I should probably be more clear. You have to use recovery to flash the ROM, it doesn't install itself. Just be sure to perform a "Factory Reset" before flashing the ROM.

You can go to youtube and find how to install cyanogenmod 7 (OR ANY FIRE ROM) from NAT3MIL. And i installed TWRP 2.1.1 and FireFireFire 1.4a with the smirkit zip you don't need the computer for this.For me it works great.
Today i downloaded the AOKP for kindle fire build 36 you must try this one or Gederom from 13-05-2012 these two are amazing.

Stuck on TWRP home screen...

Yes I am aware threads like this on exist but I feel like my situation may be unique. I was attempting to root a kindle fire for my friend. I have rooted many devices so I figured this one would be just as simple. I used the kindle fire utility made by vashypooh (thanks by the way) and the drivers included with it.
The rooting process seemed to go fine with the utility, I was told everything went fine and the device was rebooting... Reboots to twrp "home" screen and stays there.
My adb status on the utility is now unknown...
twrp will not mount the kindle so I cannot restore with the stock update from amazon or any other custom rom for that matter.
I feel like I am making a noob mistake here and would love some help...
Sorry for the repeat thread.
Edit: I guess my real question is this.... How do I get new system software onto my device if TWRP isn't mounting it and my PC does not recognize it as a mass storage device?

Are you selecting reboot then system?

then you have no choice but to adb push the file if you cant get it mounted I suggest you start with some reading material here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547 then here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452

When I use adb in my command prompt it does not see any devices even when the Fire is connect to my computer. About to remove and re install my drivers I guess.

shift plus right click on the tools folder in kfu select open command window here.. then type

and see what you get

I get a blank list with no devices connected. But my fire is connected by the factory cable directly to my motherboard usb connections

that pretty much screams drivers.. how does your kindle show in device manager?

adb now finds the device.
i can turn on usb storage but windows wants to format it before it can be used?
Also I can push files using the command prompt but when I use twrp to install the update.zip i get an error..

make sure md5 check and zip verification are both disabled if you choose to let windows format it it will wipe it clean but it should then work fat32 block size 4096

Somehow your sdcard lost it's formatting. You'll have to reformat, but you'll "lose" any data that remains.
[Edit:] Before you do that, try...
Code:
adb shell mount /sdcard
and try pushing files to it again.

and why are you trying to do update.zip I really dont recommend it... considering your previous track record you will only cause yourself more problems

Formatted the SD card, showing up in windows now.

now use this rom..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916

Download the latest version of any rom you want i use to use trips rom then i discovered TeamVenom Jb is superb
2.) Open the .zip file and copy 'boot.img' to your fastboot folder.
3.) Turn off your phone and enter the bootloader (Hold the Volume Down and Power Keys while off).
4.) Select 'Fastboot' by pushing the Power Key.
5.) Plug your phone into your computer using a USB cable.
6.) Now go to your computer and open a command window inside the fastboot folder (Hold SHIFT + Right Click on any white-space).
7.) Type 'fastboot devices.'
If a series of letters and numbers appear then you can continue. If a series of question marks appear then wait a few seconds and try again. If the question marks continue to appear or nothing appears at all then either you haven't connected your phone properly or you didn't install the drivers correctly in Part 1.
8.) Type 'fastboot erase cache' and push enter. This can fix problems with bootloops or bootfailures.
9.) Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' and push enter. It should say 'OKAY' if successful.
10.) On your phone, select 'HBOOT' using the Power Key and scroll down to 'Recovery' using the Volume Down Key. Push to Power Key again to select it.
Once in recovery you can navigate by tapping the screen or by using the Power and Volume Up/Down Keys.
11.) Select 'wipe data/factory reset' and accept the warning screen.
12.) Now select 'advanced' and select 'wipe dalvik cache.'
13.) Select 'mounts and storage' and then 'mount USB storage.'
14.) Copy the .zip file you downloaded (Don't unzip it!) onto the SD card of your phone.
15.) Unmount USB Storage on your phone and navigate back to the Recovery Homescreen.
16.) Now select 'install zip from sdcard' followed by 'choose zip from sdcard.'
17.) Select the .zip file and let it install.
Just rember to read the pages and you shouldnt go wrong
