Hello everyone,
just this morning I began the process of rooting my Kindle Fire and everything seemed to be working fine until the process came to this step and now everything has been stuck on that. My KF shows "kindle fire" on the screen and nothing's happening. Since I cannot post links to pictures the computer screen shows command prompt windows with red letters saying this:
NOTICE
Fastboot uses a different device than ADB.
You should check device manager for Kindle or Amazon
If you see it rerun the driver installer that came packaged with KFU.
Installing FFF...
<waiting for device>
I didn't uplug the cable or anything else, just left it like that before someone tells me what I should do.
I don't think that anything on KF has been tampered with since I only got two "download successful" messages before I got this one. Maybe I can just reboot KF and KFU and then change the bootmode to normal?
yes you can with the bootloader or with kfu have you tryed to rerun the drivers though? Powering it off and back on with it plugged in may be beneficial.
I tried that but I cannot get it pass that logo.
I restarted my comp and KF and when I connect them with the cable windows recognises it as Android ADB Interface but my KFU doesn't "see it" (says: ADB Stauts Offline).
Is there any other way to change the bootmode? Or am I doing something wrong?
EDIT: I have managed to resolve the problem using adb commands (fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot).
I think I will not try to root it again..
What does your boot logo look like?
It looked like standard kindle fire logo upon turning it on, but without that "animation" (that slightly changes it's colour).
It made me really scared I must admit and now I am not willing to try to root it again, at least not for some time
What you need to do at this point is make sure you have TWRP and FFF1.4 installed. They are essential to fixing problems easily in the future.
Can I install them without rooting?

Yes, but by the sound of it you already are rooted. The problem isn't with rooting, it's how Windows handles adb and fastboot.
If you were able to change your bootmode back to 4000, the rest should be simple.
I would suggest reading this to get a better understanding of what's going on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747567
Is there a way to check if my KF is rooted or not?
I've read that guide a few times and even written down some notes but I am still a bit puzzled with all these things.
Get TerminalEmulator.apk (side load it if you have to) and enter the following command:
Code:
su
You should get a Superuser request. When you accept, your prompt should change from $ to #
If your prompt doesn't change, then you aren't rooted.
Hi there,
it's been a while since I had a chance to play with my KF.
Anyway, I've managed to install the Terminal Emulator and when I enter "su" command I get "su: permission denied" message.
That means I am not rooted, right?
Most likely that is the case unless perhaps you missed a prompt asking for permissions at the intial launch but I would say your not rooted
Thank you very much.
Can there be any harm done if I try to root it again and it turns out that I am already rooted?
I do have a little recommendation for you if perhaps you attempt to root again and you have adb online and working when you see that on the intial start of kfu when your kindle is plugged in leave the utility open unplug your kindle and run a number like 2 or 3 (remember while unplugged) it will update the files and links in the utility itself then reboot your computer and recheck device status with kfu. If your kindle is in good working condition take some time read around before taking the leap the more you learn the better it can save you alot of heartache.

if your rooted it will likely fail because the file already exists or it will just overwrite shouldnt be any harm that I am aware of.
---------- Post added at 03:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------
if I had to pick an order to do the process I would first root then install twrp then fff each time waiting till it has rebooted and your sure the process is complete never panic and unplug it
You are very helpful mate, thank you very much.
When I tried to root the first time I followed this tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwMHIkX20YI
In the video description it says this:
***NOTICE
there seems to be an issue with the kindle fire utility not installing the superuser app which will finish giving you root. So what you can do to remedy this is once you have the twrp recovery, you can flash this stock rooted version of 6.3 (THIS WILL WIPE ALL UR DATA)
OR you can just download this superuser.apk, and sideload it onto your kindle fire (I have a video for sideloading if you dont know how, your data will NOT be wiped)
Maybe this is the reason why I get this message?
there was an intial problem with kfu just a while back where it wasnt pushing the superuser apk. I believe that problem has been remedied another thing make sure your computer is online when you do it so it can download the files thats why I say do a dry run with out your kindle plugged in so it auto updates the download links
---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 AM ----------
the superuser apk can be side loaded as well just make sure all the rest was successful
---------- Post added at 03:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 AM ----------
and I really dont recommend flashing stock unless you have serious problems thats kinda a last resort cause flashing stock will also wipe your twrp and bootloader so that doesnt make sense
---------- Post added at 03:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 AM ----------
Nat3mill is a good guy and he makes pretty good video but this last one wasnt as good as the rest
Ok, then I will do what you recommended in message 15.
Once again thank you very much, I will report with the results later
I used his videos for all my procedures but I didnt have anything go awry make sure you have checked allow installtion from unknown sources this will allow the loading of the files and is a very common mistake

good luck
kinda the same situation... kinda
well i can say that i had the exact same issue you were having. turned out i was stuck in fastboot just needed to change boot mode in KFU. can also be done from FFF if its the right version i believe. My issue is that i had the same problems, not being able to download superuser or TWRP via KFU. FFF, however, installed just fine... so now, everytime i reboot i get the new blue "kindle fire" logo with boot options. I gave up after a couple days of looking for a solution, and decided to try factory reset, to see if that would clear it off... nope. so i guess my question is does anybody know how to remove FFF after a failed but not detrimental root attempt.... orrrr, does anybody know of a real solution to the download issues i had. its weird, i was able to connect fine ( it said i was online, and in normal boot mode 4000 ) and install FFF, but nothing else seemed to work in the hundred (give or take a few) times i attempted the root process vis KFU. thanks.
I'm beggining to find desperation, please help
so my kindle was full of crappy apps (mybad) so i tried to restore it to factory defaults as i had done it before through the Android settings, as usual but, when it was supposed to start up again it just got stuck on TWRP and I've tried fastboot, I've tried normal boot through all means but it just stucks up on the kindle logo, quite disappointing, when I use ADB to fastboot or normalboot, i get this error:
-exec ' /system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
also the ADB status refers to online and an unknown bootmode, but in one of the many methods I've tried, i saw a bootmode that read 0x5001 which was really weird for me to read but anyway, i'd thank you for your differential diagnosis and treatment
PLEASEE!!!!!
PD: i tried ubuntu with the firekit but the file "fk", it just won't open on the terminal, it even crashes opening as text
Alright, I think I might be able to help with this. Download kindle fire update.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620#download
Boot into twrp, and go to to mount. Plug in Kindle fire to your computer. Select mount usb storage. Rename the file to update.zip, move it to your kindle fire. Select un-mount, Then go to home in twrp. Then, wipe factory reset, dalvik cache, cache, and system. Then, go and flash the zip. After that is done, reboot system. You should then be ok.
Good luck
didnt work
okay, i did it.. and it seemed like it was over but then.. when it was supposed to start, it said... battery is too low.. so i left it charging and when it wanted to boot it got stuck again on kindle logo, and now i cannot even boot on recovery
any thoughts?
This seems very weird. Give the KF a full charge. When is is done charging power it up and plug it in to your computer. Use KFU to set boot mode as recovery. Then re-flash the update. Or, you might try going to wipe and selecting factory reset
---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------
You might find that Twrp was un-installed. If it was, Use KFU to re-install it.
bigger problem!! TWRP wont install... am I dead?
No hows your battery?

Are you able to connect your KF via adb?
Why don't you try this repair kit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
Or this and use fastboot to flash twrp just dont fastboot flash a zip to your bootloader or you will have a seroius brick. Bin format only for fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670405
Or, you could take a different approach, the amazon update that you flashed before might have partly worked. If you did not see twrp when you booted up kf, then your at stock. You can return it to amazon and get full refund. They will never know you rooted it.
Just a thought let it charge via usb for a few hours and then hold the power button for a minute or so to be assured it is powered off then power it up.

Sounds like you have firekit put on your usb incorrectly
---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------
You extract the file to the head of the usb there is only one file inside of the zip folder I believe its firekit.sh
If you have it correctly placed the command in the op will launch it and you need to be connected to the internet for some of the options to work in case there is any fetching of files from the net. I can almost guarantee the trouble your having with firekit is one of two things not applied to the USB correctly or your launching it wrong. Open a terminal and type sudo /cdrom/fk this will give you a great list of commands in the terminal simply copy and paste your chosen command do the short trick keep it shorted and plug it in after it says waiting for device you'll know when you got it right
nothing is working
Please! HELP Nothing is working!! are there any very specific steps on the ubuntu installation_ because i get stuck on the SDK installation.. it says it failed doing something!!.. this is really disappointing.. plus.. i live outside the US .. and retrieving it is not an option .. please give me some ideas because im out of them!
thank you!!
Sent you a pm also I believe you have firekit applied incorrectly I will assist if you wish
---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------
Could just be a matter of reseting your bootmode and getting you to recovery where you can do a fresh flash
HELPPPP
PLEASE HELP!!
firekit sends an error... the same that kfu does... and andab.sh is also not working.. im on ubuntu finnally but i can't unbrick im desperate .. please help.. there has got to be a way of like reconstructing the kindles firmware!! im begging
So i was messing around with my kindle and accidentally wiped everything on it. I have been trying to flash the update.zip that you can find on Amazon's website but it keeps saying there was an error flashing rom. So i have looked around and people keep saying that you must downgrade from twrp 2.6.0.0 to twrp 2.2.2.1 to flash it. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Okay some background information that might help.
Haven't touched my daughter's kindle in over 2 years after rooting with Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6 and putting CM 10.1 on it, as well as TWRP Blaze 2.4.1.0. Fast forward to today and she says it's acting weird. I chalk it up to it being very out dated and look into updating to the latest and greatest. So I head on over to OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [TWRP 2.7.1 2014-06-08]. I make sure adb is up and running and that I can push files while in recovery. I flash the latest bootloader and reboot. Everything seems normal until I head to the next step of flashing the new recovery. Try to boot into recovery and the device just boots normally... tried to use the fastboot method and it just hangs on "waiting for device". The device reboots, but instead of doing what it's supposed to do, it just boots normally. Now I'm getting a little impatient with everything and no longer having the ability to boot back into recovery. So now here's where I really shot myself in the foot, I proceed to think its a great idea to use the fix EMMC corrupted device option that proceeds to wipe everything (which I knew was going to happen) and now can't get past the fastboot mode screen....
I now don't seem to have a recovery... but I can still turn on the device, see the initial "Kindle Fire" screen with the power options to get into Normal boot, Recovery boot, advanced. Normal boot does nothing but boot into fastboot mode, as well as recovery. The advanced menu pops up normally but I'm not sure if that really matters in this case. While connected to the computer it shows up as an unspecified device named "kindle" with an exclamation point on it. I'm not sure what to even do at this point in time... Any help would be great.

If you get fastboot devices command to work
You need a recovery.IMG file for otterx
Can be found in recovery.zip by extracting files it will be in /cache folder.
You should be using twrp 2.7.1.0 or newer and 2.05 bootloader

Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Yea, no idea why it's not showing up as a device.
I did technically use the EMMC Corruption Fix that wiped everything on my device, just short of the bootloader. Not sure why the computer isn't recognizing it. Must be that my computer isn't really set up for fastboot? Weird thing to is, it no longer shows a serial number like it used to before under the "Advanced" options... Don't know if that's significant. Other things that have changed that I've noticed from the advanced menu is that Charger Mode: OFF (was on before) Serial Console: OFF (was on before) Serial #: BLANK (used to have something there) and that's about it. Don't know if I just need to set up something on my PC end to not only recognize the kindle but to actually be able to use the fastboot stuff. I think that's where my problem my also be.

I think I have everything running. Thanks so much for your help. Even though it said NULL, I gave that command line a try and it recognized the device and I was able to push the TWRP img to the device and from there follow the rest of the instructions on the linked page from earlier. Again thanks so much!!!
Ok first i have no clue as to what some of this means but here goes ........my little brother assured me he could make my kindle better so he in his words........ he use an app call flashify and flash twrp as the rom on my fire then wiped all data there is no back up can this be fixed remember im no tech person.

What does it do from power off (hold power button 15-20 secs)
Do you know which kindle fire it is, does it have HD on it?

if you hold power button it turns off ......when you power on it powers straight to twrp screen.......it is first Gen no HD 6.3.3
If you have twrp you can fix

You should download adb/fastboot files from my Flashing Twrp in FFF bootloader with fastboot.exe
Step 1:
download adb-fastboot.zip
Create a folder in c drive named adb,
unzip/extract files,
copy AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, and fastboot.exe to adb folder.
Step 2
install Kindle Fire drivers
check drivers, open device manager, kindle should be listed
android phone>android adb interface
if not see my Driver links / Errors /verify drivers are installed correctly
if drivers are correct
Step 3
Open a Command Prompt (start>all programs>accessories>Command prompt)
change directory to adb folder with
Code:
cd\adb
adb devices
should get a return code back something like
Code:
123456789abcde recovery
if so enter
Code:
adb shell "cat /proc/cmdline"
post code returned in this thread
mem=512M console=null androidboot.selinux=permissive

shouldn't matter, but 2.8.x.x twrps are not complete, adb is flaky at best.
try to mount sd card
select Mount> check sd card> mount usb
do you get a removable disk pop up?

try to push file
download zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.zip
and push with
Code:
adb push zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.zip /sd card
command pompt did all kinds of stuff but kindle did nothing
does zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.zip show up in sd card?
advanced>file manager> /sdcard

yah, adb is not working correctly, probably next step is getting a fastboot cable Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
No
could try
in the reboot options choose fastboot or bootloader
and flash the bootloader and twrp like in the Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery

stock bootloader is just the kindle fire boot logo, I have no idea if selecting reboot>bootloader will cause it to stay in bootloader or it will continue to TWRP
to test use
Code:
fastboot devices
I would send command just before selecting reboot>bootloader
