I was using KFU to root my kindle, but I accidently unplugged it leaving me stuck in fastboot mode. My kindle is recognized as ADB interface, but KFU dosent recognize it and neither does adb when i try to issue commands such as ADB Shell. Please help me?
Anyone have any information at all? Please... I'm in desperate need of help. Now my computer wont recognize it anymore.
Dead thread, got it to work.

Please, please, really, help me out. My kindle fire is bricked, I tried Unbrick tool and a lot of other things, like installing again the drivers, the sdk, but nothing works at all!!
Here is the thing: When I was rooting my Kindle, my building got a blackout during the root process, and when the light goes on, my kindle was stucked on "Kindle Fire" logo. When I use adb devices, nothing shows. When I connect to Windows, it shows as a Unknown device, and when I try to install adb composite, it give a message saying that the driver android_winusb is not compatible with the hardware connected to USB. So, I can now really use this brand new Kindle Fire as a brick? I bought it on june 06 2012 !!!!!! Please, help me with this.. please..
Thank you very much
I was in the same place yesterday
Uninstall the unknown usb driver
Unplug kindle from usb
Reboot pc
Install drivers from kindle fire utility using the install_drivers bat
Plug kindle in, should recognize as adb device (if it shows up as a kindle uninstall those and reboot)
You may need to use kfu to get into normal bootmode if stuck in fastbook onc the drivers are set

Stuck in Kindle Fire logo mostly means your your KF is in fast boot mode. Try unplug your KF, get the latest KFU and reinstall drivers, reboot pc and reconnect KF.
Open KFU and select normal boot mode.

Thank you for the answers, but it is still not working. I did everything you told me, but its not working. My Windows 7 set the device as unknown. When I set it to normal boot mode, the program starts to wait for the device that is already pluged in.
kindle fire bricked at all
What else can I do? I have tried on Mac, on Linux and Windows, but its not working in any of these systems.

First figure out where it's getting stuck in the boot process. If the bootlogo appears on the display and stays that way without ever blacking out, then it's in fastboot mode.

If it does go black before showing the bootlogo again, then it's no longer in fastboot mode and its trying to boot into something. In this case, you'll have to hope that it's getting far enough into the boot process that it can accept adb commands from your computer.
Either way, you'll have to make sure the drivers are working properly.

The second one covers drivers, but the first 3 posts in general should be helpful to you. If it's not in fastboot mode and you can't get it to execute adb commands, you can either get a factory cable or open up the back cover on the device and use Firekit.
hi, my brother's kindle fire is stuck in fastboot after trying to root it and we have tried everything we could find from change usb.ini's tochanging the driver assoicated with it to using KFU to getting back into nornmal boot mode, none of which worked, adb wont reconigze it though the drivers for it to are installed and setup, thus my computer reads the kindle but we just cant get adb to see it, im sure if we can get adb to read it we can fix it from there, but we've tried just about every, and have tried everything that we have found, any help would be greatly appreciated, it has stock rom, install unknown apps checked, wil turn off and on just gets stuck at the kindle fire text (so im assuming its stuck in fastboot and its not a bad bootloader thoug not completely sure)

Assuming you've tried the obvious KFU methods of putting the device back to normal bootmode...
If you are in fastboot mode, adb won't recognize the device and it won't respond to adb commands. You must use fastboot commands to reset the bootmode back to normal. The adb_usb.ini file is only used by adb, so manipulating that file isn't going to do you any good either.
See if this guide helps you...

It's important to have the device already connected to the computer as the device puts itself into fastboot mode. You will not be able to issue fastboot commands to it otherwise. Use the guide to make sure the KF is actually putting itself into fastboot mode. Then verify the interface and hardware details given.

thank you for your reply, i have tried fastboot commands as well but i will take a look at the link you provided,and will post if anything helps
ok i have tried the fastboot commands from that post and they have not helped, it stops at waiting for device i tried all 4 commands listed just in case, and all come up with the same thing, would this factory cable be somethine that would help. if so how reliable is it?
A factory cable puts the device into fastboot mode. If the device is already in fastboot mode, it's not going to help you at that point. I suggest you reread my last post and go over that fastboot guide carefully. Figure out what the device is doing and how your computer sees it.
well i tried for the hell of it to see if it would do anything to install the twrp recovery and well now the power light it orange and the screen wont turn on, i apologize if this isnt any issue, as ive stated this isnt mine its my brothers, and i dont quite know how to use it or what indicates whaton it, but i will re-read the post you linked but i didnt see anything of any use that i havent already tried
ok i just re-read it all, and im thinking the shorting trick is my only option, as my hardware ids do not match the ones stating its in fastboot (according to the article), if there are any better suggestions that would be great , thank you again for your responses
EDIT: it seems that installing the twrp fixed our problem, it just booted !!, thank you so much for your help
I hope someone on this forum can help me. I have an unrooted Kindle Fire 1st generation. It is stuck on the Kindle Fire logo. Anytime I plug a USB cable into the device, the logo appears and just stays there. It can be when connecting to the wall charger or to a PC. When I connect the KF to my PC, the PC doesn't recognize it. The ADB console does not recognize the device either. I tried sending a command via ADB as I connected the KF, but that didn't help. I tried the KF utility, but it cannot locate the device (no surprise as this uses ADB too).
I have read through tons of posts and tried everything I can find about fixing this. But no avail, it still is stuck. I even made a Ubuntu USB cable with SoupFix on it and tried from there. ADB in Ubuntu didn't recognize the KF device either. Ubuntu did note that there was a disconnected kindle Fire. So I told Ubuntu to forget the device in hopes that would help my Win 7 machine. Nope.
This is extremely frustrating as yesterday the KF was working and connecting to the PC for file transfer. It was turned off yesterday and upon reboot, nada.
Please help if you can.
Thank you.
I have bricked my kindle fire and need help. I have apparently wiped the OS from my kindle fire and failed to backup everything before I started. I can access TWRP but the PC(using windows xp) will not recognize the kindle. If I let it boot "normal" (gets stuck at logo) the PC will partially recognize the kindle but I have no access to the files on kindle (only recognized in device manager). I get an error on Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9 stating that the "system/bin.sh" file cant be found or something like that. Please help as I have read and read and tried everything but to no avail.

Ok. So I still have not solved my problem but somehow in the command prompt I am showing a device when I type in "adb devices" but now I'm worried about what to do or where to go from here. Can someone please help me.

Jwag when you get time pm me your phone number its an easy fix I will help you fix it.
Disregard, issue resolved.
I have posted several messages now and no one has ventured forth to help. I am trying to load a custom rom on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9, software version 8.5.1. I have the official Amazon Kindle adb drivers installed and can talk to the device via adb commands from the SDK. What I cannot do is get the device to boot into fastboot mode at all. I was able to root the device using Keymasterroot(or Keyrootmaster, don't remember the syntax) but the device just seems to ignore fastboot commands. Anyone know what may be going on here? I am running Windows 8.1 Pro x64. Like I said, using the SDK, I can talk to the device via adb but fastboot just will not respond no matter what I try. When I issue 'adb reboot bootloader', the device just reboots and goes back into FireOS. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have gone through a million threads and can't seem to find anyone who has my exact problem.
