Hello, I bricked my kindle fire by flashing a update.zip file because I wanted to return to stock. I wiped everything from cache to system and now my Kindle Fire just hangs on the KF screen.
I tried using KFU, FireKit, and I can get into adb but I can't access the adb shell and I can not get into fastboot.
Any help would be appreciated. And I don't know if my battery is even charging either. The battery is dead. Thanks.
I'm having the same problem except I soft bricked mine. :c It doesn't even show up on ADB.
I literally just had this exact problem, and the ONLY thing that actually worked was buying a factory cable from SKORPN. After I got it, all I had to do was plug it in and used the Kindle fire utility to install FIREFIREFIFE and boom, it worked like a charm.

Even if your computer won't recognize the Kindle fire, it won't matter. The factory cable made by SKOPRN is specially made for your computer to recognize it, but it won't say that it has recognized it. By the way, there is no utility that will unbrick your fire, and trust me I have tried. The only thing that actually worked was buying a factory cable. It's only 12-13 dollars and if your fire ever gets bricked again, the cable will save the day. Almost always.
Pls try reinstalling the drivers.. I have attached the steps below: It should help
1) Download KFU from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1399889
2) Before you start rooting ur device.. do the below
3) Extract the util.. run the install_drivers.bat.. this will help you install the drivers..
4) Once it is successfully done..follow the steps outlined in the document attached below (install drivers for ur kindle.docx)
5) Next step is to root ur device and install the google framework and market
6) To root your device.. run run.bat.. select option 2 to install the root.. it might take sometime and will restart the kindle and notify you
7) to install the google apps..run option 6 and then select 1.. sit back and watch the magic happen

I did all that, besides I can't get past step 2 because it says ADB is offline. Even with the drivers installed it shows up on the computer. What am I doing wrong
EDIT: I got it to activate ADB but still won't go on fastboot or anything. Atleast I got somewhere but now what? It won't even start up lmao. Why did I ever have to install CM9 on my device without installing FireFireFire
EDIT again: LOL I just broke it even more now it doesn't get past the Kindle fire screen, now what? Atleast I have a reason to take it to best buy now, the last time I went I said it was a hardware issue, now I can say it won't get past the kindle fire screen. Maybe I can take it back there and see if they can do anything xD
EDIT again: Good news, it's broken enough to get a new one! So I'm gonna get a refund and see how this goes c;
EDIT: Fixxed it without returning. No worries

Just so you know, your device was never "broken". You just don't know what you're doing. But I agree with the previous post. Until you have a better idea of how the Kindle Fire works, leave it stock.
---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------
[Edit:] And this constant practice of breaking one's own device and sending them back to Amazon despite knowing that it violates the terms of the warranty, is probably one of the biggest reasons Amazon locked down the new Kindle Fire HDs and probably every subsequent device moving forward.
The old saying, "You made your bed, now sleep in it", definitely applies here.

What do you mean by saying your KF has not FIREFIREFIRE?

First of all, FIREFIREFIRE doesn't just magically install itself. What did you use to root the device? I'm sure whatever you used to root your device installed FIREFIREFIRE.
And your Kindle isn't bricked, it's just in the wrong bootmode.

the 4sec interval signals to fastboot mode! You got to enter necessary commands during to stay in fastboot mode and flash the custom recovery TWRP and than re-install update.zip(kindle update bin renamed). consider the link below for twrp and root manual install plus relevant commanline,those commands will help to flash and boot into twrp mode after installing it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24129239
P.s.remember to point to the directory containing the fastboot and adb command files in my case c:/program files (x86)/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/ ALSo, in future to factory reset the device, install the kindle update.zip (renamed kindle update bin file downloaded from amazon kindle site)
how do i enter the commands? with a program if so give me a link to get it plz

Kindly read the linked thread it covers the state stuck on yellow fire sign screen
well how do i set up an adb? i dont understand
kindle fire utility 9.5
Remove and install your drivers for your kindle fire. Than install kindle fire utility found here in xda forums. Install and run the utility select option 1 and select normal 4000 boot mode. Plug in your kindle fire and turn it on. This worked for me. Booted right up just be patient it may take a few minutes.
what are the drivers and where do i find them and how do i reinstall them?

With all due respect, what on earth made you think it was a good idea to root the Kindle with such an obvious lack of computer literacy? Were you aware of the risks?
Your problem is simple to fix but it requires at least some basic working knowledge of a computer. Do yourself a huge favor and Google search "Kindle Fire USB drivers" to find out. And not to be hateful but I think it's highly unlikely that many people here would be willing to go through the arduous process of explaining how to install device drivers.
I would suggest doing some research on the matter and come back with a better foundation to work from.
Otherwise I think your best bet would be to revert back to stock and forget about rooting all together (requires research).

No never mind the previous post solved it I got the drivers right after I posted 2 days ago it is fixed and up and running now thank you for the trouble I forgot to post back :/
ok this is my situation...i got a kindle fire or kindle fire 2 off someone and when i got it i couldnt get passed the White and Orange Kindle fire logo so i decided to search these forums up and down trying different things...decided to buy a factory cable and i get to the Fastboot screen with the green blinking light and i get no further...i have never seen the home screen or anything..just that darn logo until the factory cable came in now im only seeing the fastboot screen...so im guessing this think cant be fixed.
im running windows 7 64bit and i have a linux live usb already set up.
i just wanna get this thing back to stock if its possible. if someone could possibly help me or if you need more info then by all means im here to listen or give the information needed to get this thing working again.
oh and i forgot the device comes up in the device manager as otter2-prod-04
i see posts from everyone thats rooting there device and messing it up that way...this is a stock device and the people that had it i can least say wasnt smart enough to even attempt to root or anything like that.
if someone could add my to skype to see if we can troubleshoot my problem that would be great. because waiting for responses on here is just taking more time...no offense to anyone im just anxious and would like to see whether or not this kf2 can be fixed or just throw it out the window lol

Root Plus does not come with saved partition images. Though, it will restore partition images saved using the tool or from other sources. If you choose to use a set of saved partition images from another source, make absolutely sure you are using the correct ones for your device or it will surely brick your device, permanently.
I rooted my Kindle Fire 2 about a week ago and I was really enjoying it. Today I decided that I wanted to get cyanogen mod on my kindle. I went to a a forum page here on XDA which had a one click thing for TWRP. I downloaded it onto my kindle and started to install it. I allowed it with superuser, but then my screen went black and turned red. Now I'm kind of nervous because I've read that now I need to use a Factory/Fastboot cable to restore it. Is there any other way for me to restore my kindle? I can turn it off by holding the power button for 20 secs, but when I turn it back on the logo flashes for 2 secs and the red screen comes back.. Please help.. I'm kinda upset right now
No. You need a cable. Sorry you are upset but this is clearly stated in the CyanogenMod thread.

Ok, so if I purchase the cable, will that allow me to enter fastboot and fix the problem? Is fastboot somthing that is already on the device.. or is it something that I should of installed on it beforehand? Someone told me that all I need is the Factory Cable and I can work from there. Is that true?

I'm sorry, I know im asking dumb questions; honestly I'm new to this and I just need some help and I do appreciate the help you are providing. I have read the link you posted, but I have one more question. When I plug in the Factory Cable is fastboot something that is already on the device? I dont think I installed fastboot on my device (if it can even be installed) But I know for a fact that my KF2 is rooted. I know this is a dumb question, but the only way for me to find out is if I ask. Thanks.

It helps but you can use Kindle Fire FirstAid and a factory fastboot cord and restore to factory. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 You can make a fastboot cord or buy one for 10 bucks, up to you.
He did a good job describing everything.
If you want to try getting custom recovery again, root your Kindle Fire using Bin4ry's method. Use the new method (No Xperia stuff - You'll know when u use it). And use Kindle Fire First Aid and disable OTA updates. Download TweezerMod Installer (Google it) and follow instructions. You will be as amazed, excited, and happy as at first when you recovered your kindle.

Hello everyone...
I've been reading all the threads on this forum for a few months, but I couldn't find an concrete and final answer to this problem:
I have a Kindle Fire 7'' 2nd Generation, and after rooting and installing ICS ( with KF First Aide) i noticed that my wallpaper was flashing and the notification bar was disappearing. I tried to fix it but suddenly the RED TRIANGLE ( with exclamation point inside) appeared and looks like this:
( the triangle)
"Your Kindle device cannot boot.
You can reset your device to Factory defaults to fix this issue (all data will be deleted from the device).
<Menu options>
To reboot your device press and hold the power button for 4 seconds and release.
To reset to Factory Defaults, press the power button 5 times in succession"
None of those options work, and when I connect the USB cable to my PC nothing happens.
Is there someone who knows how can I fix it, but please... explain from the scratch because I am a total beginner. ( I rooted it only by following instructions for noobs, step by step)
I would be very thankful.
BTW I don't have a Factory Cable and if I have to buy one it would take about 40 days, and if it is possible to make one- I also don't know how.
You will need a fastboot/factory cable, here's a life o on how to make one, there's one on this forum as well but I knew where this was listed in the FAQs thread here so I used it. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/146492-how-why-make-your-own-motorola-factory-cable.html

Buying one should be quick and easy. You only have to look in the forum to see lots of posts of people struggling with the KF2, and how often a Factory Cable is required.
It should be a recommendation that you get the cable before doing anything.

Actually the tutorials for 2nd bootloader/TWRP for Kindle's of all kinds do suggest that you grt a fastboot cord. Show me one that does not. It falls on the person doing the modding to go ahead and read and maybe do a little bit of research first don't you think?
Edit: The problem is some tutorials failed to update when the firmware was patched creating many bootloops if the firmware was not downgraded to 7.2.3 or 7.3.0 first. Still warnings always exhisted to backup and get a fastboot cord.

Glad your tablet is working.
So first you want to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 and download "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31: [Improved Root-Method by Ariel Berkman]" There is a of stuff in that post but v31 was an update to the OP so trust that it is correct. You will download and run the bat and root your KF2.
Now to get a custom ROM you first need to install a 2nd bootloader and TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) The best thing you can do is read and ask if needed so you don't brick your Kindle.
Here is Hashcodes thread on how to install a 2nd bootloader and TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963
Here is Hascodes thread on getting the custom ROM put on your KF2 using ADB commands http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963
Here is a list of custom ROM's for KF2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462878
Make sure to not use anything not intended specifically for the Kindle Fire 2 (otter) or you may hard brick your Kindle.

Plug your fastboot cable in. Then run the KFFirstAide.
And to all you toilers, first you flash 10.2.4 bootloader, and then boot up and install the Alien Box (Tweezermod), and then you get second bootloader. Instructions to thank Hashcode or FMkilo (or whichever the guy is).

Hey, sorry for the late reply...
Well first install the KFFirstAide ( the program with 40+ options ). You can find it easy here.
Now, you need to have factory cable. Turn off your Kindle, plug the factory cable and turn the Kindle On. You should see your Kindle in Fastboot status now, showing green and red light circles.
Next, start the KFFirstAide and run option 1 or 2, and when you get to the question "would you like us to switch your Kindle into Fastboot status" you should answer NO, because you already are into fastboot.
Then, just let the program do it's magic and you'll have your Kindle in it's original version of Android ( the Amazon version).
I hope this helps, let me know what you did

Hey, sorry for the late reply...
Well first install the KFFirstAide ( the program with 40+ options ). You can find it easy here.
Now, you need to have factory cable. Turn off your Kindle, plug the factory cable and turn the Kindle On. You should see your Kindle in Fastboot status now, showing green and red light circles.
Next, start the KFFirstAide and run option 1 or 2, and when you get to the question "would you like us to switch your Kindle into Fastboot status" you should answer NO, because you already are into fastboot.
Then, just let the program do it's magic and you'll have your Kindle in it's original version of Android ( the Amazon version).
I hope this helps, let me know what you did
Cheers!

It's a pain in the ass sometimes...
When you connect it with the factory cable, does it show the Fastboot on the screen? If yes, make sure you answer the questions correctly from the KF First Aide program, for example if it asks you do you have the Kindle Fire 2 gen?
But if it cannot recognize the device at all and it shows "waiting for device" for the whole time, I really don't know what can you do, except disconnect and connect again...
Maybe you could send me photos of how it looks the screen after every step you make including the questions when you run the KF First Aide?
You can send it to my mail: [email protected] | no tricks, just wanna try to help |
I had that problem and I know how awful it is
Good luck!
Hey guys, I've been lurking pretty hard the past couple days and can't find a thread that addresses my question, so here goes:
I have a 1st gen Kindle Fire that I don't sue and wanted to put a ROM on it. I grabbed KFU v0.9.6, used the install drivers bat, then I believe I ran permanent root with superuser and TWRP recovery install. This all worked, I used TWRP to create a backup, restored my kindle to factory, and then I put the latest Cyanogenmod rom on it and installed that. This is the point that I'm at now, where I can start my kindle and it boots, but I can't get into recovery mode (I didn't install FireFireFire because I didn't know what it was) and so it boots from the kindle logo to Cyanogenmod, where it hangs as long as I keep it powered on. I've tried reinstalling drivers and running KFU in hopes I can get adb shell to recognize it, and although it does say it's "Online", the boot status is unknown, so it isn't able to reboot it, and adb shell just doesn't recognize it, although adb devices does.
I hope that all made sense, let me know if I need to elaborate on anything or post any screen shots, as I'd be glad to, I just don't know what you need. I'm hoping I haven't bricked it, and that there's some way to get the kindle file system recognized or something, but I haven't been able to figure it out on my own.
Thanks for the help, and again feel free to ask for any sort of info/screenshots.
(Windows 7 x64, Kindle Fire 1st Gen, KFU v0.9.6)
Never Mind
Try KFUBU.
I believe that its not bricked. Try using Kindle Fire Unbrick utility. Pretty neat and easy to use..
I think you should have installed FireFireFire and used the latest KFU, though. Just an opinion.
Anyways, try out the Unbrick Utility. I can't post links here as I'm a new member!
Hit "Thanks" if I helped!
Yea, that's what I figured. I think I had a tutorial from when KFU didn't need firefirefire? I could be making that up. Anyway, thanks for the idea, I'll hopefully try that in the next hour, otherwise I'll be back in a week since I'm gonna be out of town.
Thanks!
