This is a bit complicated, and I will try my best to explain.
In the past I have run ROM's on my Fire that had a reboot option, and that option put the Kindle into a reboot loop that could be stopped by loading into recovery and typing in an adb command. That is NOT what is happening here.
I went to use my Kindle the other day and it would not turn on. I thought it was out of battery, so I plugged in the Kindle, saw it was beginning to charge and left it. When I went to go use the Kindle, it still would not turn on.
Then I went to go use the Kindle and the option to boot into recovery came up. I pressed power and nothing happened.
I then held down the power button for about a minute, and it booted into recovery. I tried doing a power down from there hoping that would fix the issue, and it did not.
I held down the power button again, and again got into Recovery. I figured it could be a software issue, so I wiped it and installed CM10 on the Kindle, and then rebooted from recovery. The Cyanogen load screen came up and then while loading rebooted, and now it is in a reboot loop where it is quickly rebooting over and over. I have tried holding down power and it will not boot into recovery now. If I unplug it, the Kindle goes off right away. Anyone ever see anything like this?
I suspect I am screwed, but any advice would be nice.
You suffer from a near dead battery.
Power your KF completely off.
Plug the KF into USB and immediately hold the power button until it shuts off.
If the KF stays powered off, leave it plugged in for at least half a day then switch to the stock charger.

Thanks! As soon as I plugged in to a wall charger it booted. I thought it was getting enough power from the USB wire.

I've been scouring threads and trying to solutions for this problem for the last 3 days.
After wiping the ROM and restoring the stock OS, I was about to run the Amazon update to restore the stock bootloader but as I was charging it past the 40% point, it turned off without warning. It was at 37% charge at that point. Now when I turn it on, the blue/white logo shows up and then the device shuts off almost instantly after that.
The only thing I think might've caused it is that in order to charge the device recently, I've had to wiggle around the power cord a LOT to get it to the charge, and the device turned off while I was doing do.
What happens if you go to recovery? Does it remain booted? If so do a wipe factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik then select reboot. See if it will boot to the system from there.

I can't get to ANYTHING, it turns off literally 2 seconds after powering on.
Are you positive it shuts off and doesn't just boot to a black screen? Some of this sounds like a 5 second bootloop but not entirely http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623244 from what your describing it should have more charge. Turn it off plug it in via USB describe what happens.

Yeah, I've read that. I hit the power button, the blue/white Kindle Fire logo shows up (at the bottom it says press the power button for the menu) but then it shuts off right after that.
You say you restored stock by what you're saying this was a backup correct?
Yeah...what's getting me is that it was all working fine until I tried to charge it by the aforementioned wiggling the power cord in the charge port. Unless that was just a coincidence and is irrelevant.

My thoughts..
1) Its just a coincidence
2) Did you try charging the kindle overnight and then try running the KFU and change the bootmode to normal
I think Kinfuans is trying to tell you that your battery is flat. Power it off by holding down the power button for twenty or so seconds, plug it into your computer, set your computer to avoid sleeping then let it sit a few hours or overnight. It should eventually boot.
As soon as I plug it into the USB, it goes into an endless cycle of powering on and off. Even if it's off already, plugging it in makes it attempt to turn on.

With the device turned off completely, plug it in and let it power on. Immediately hold the power until it shuts off. If you're lucky, it will power off completely, then you can leave it alone to charge.

Not so lucky as it just immediately tries to turn back on. I think the thing is just toast.

You're plugging into USB correct?
Correct.
Well, getting it to shut down while plugged in, might be your only option toward getting it to charge. I've had that same problem and that's how it got fixed. You might want to leave it alone for a while and try it again. Just remember to hold the power button as soon as you plug it in, and hold it for at least 30 seconds.
No joy, whatever I do to make it power off so I can charge it is useless; it just automatically tries to power up as long as it's plugged in. I think the charge is too damaged or something.
Hey keep it on charge..sometimes it happens cos of low battery..
If u charge it enough it will work

i am having almost the exact issue. except i didn't do anything rootwise or anything really. i used it as i normally would (facebook, web browsing etc.) battery got to like half so i plugged it into a wall charger and left if for a few hours. came back and it had turned off. now it will only turn on if it is unplugged with the same results as op. 1.4a blue and white logo screen for like 2 seconds then it turns right back off. i can't get to recovery i can't do anything.
edit: when it is plugged in i can't turn it on at all.
edit2: i let it charge overnight on my computer, still the same thing. this is very disheartening.

Did u try letting it charge overnight on the stock charger given by Amazon.. sometimes it works
Hello everyone, thank you for your time.
TL;DR: Phone boots into download mode up until "Downloading...", recovery mode until "RECOVERY BOOTING," and can only boot right when I put the battery in. The battery is fully charged, and I can boot up until my home screen only once so far. Will a jig fix the issue, or should I try to get the phone replaced by TMobile warranty as I have before?
I have a Galaxy S3 from TMobile, and have been running CyanogenMod for about a year now. 2 days ago I flashed a nightly release, which I assume was unstable. Yesterday, my screen was on and then my phone turned off (low battery, but 99% sure it was a crash rather than a power off), and did not boot up again. After attempting to pull the battery out, charge for hours, turn on and plug in (in different combinations), the furthest I could get was a couple of seconds of the CyanogenMod Galaxy S3 logo initial boot screen (not the rotating splash screen).
I took my phone to TMobile today and was about to get it replaced until I realized I didn't mask the flashes.
The last time I was in an exact same situation with the same phone model, and my flash counter was still showing custom firmware, yet I did manage to get it replaced effortlessly, but I didn't want to risk what was a possible fluke again.
I get home, and here's my current situation.
The only way the phone boots up in any manner is when I take the battery out and the charger is not plugged in. Here are the scenarios I run into:
1. Boots into download mode, can press VOL + to get to the "Downloading..." screen, then shuts off 2 seconds after.
2. Boots into recovery mode, only up until "RECOVERY BOOTING", then shuts off.
3. Boot by pressing power button, plug charger in, shows grey battery icon.
3. Boots into download mode, can press VOL -, either shuts off, OR
3b) Only after tons of tries, it booted up all the way up until my actual home screen, then shut off.
I can't have the charger plugged in while booting (pc or wall), and I can only boot right after I put the battery in.
Are there any suggestions as to what I should do? I was thinking of buying a jig from Amazon, but I don't know if it is hard bricked or not. Should I just attempt to get it replaced under warranty once again, even though it shows the flash count?
Thank you very much!
FIX: STUCK POWER BUTTON PROBLEM
So, one thing I didn't check. Take the battery out of the phone, wait about a minute. If it buzzes as if its powering on, that means that your power button (either the actual button itself or the switch on the mainboard) is stuck.
Solution: Smack the power button with your battery until your battery has a (small) dent. If it doesn't work, smack it a couple more times. Took me 2 tries, second try, phone didn't buzz when I put battery in. I press the power button, works like new. Absolutely....ridiculous
So I was at 3 percent and plugged the phone in the car charger. I just texted and the phone got stuck. Waited for it to start being normal again but it didnt. Suddenly it shut down, restarted and got stuck on the LG logo. I waited and waited and finally removed the charger and took out the battery. I then plugged the charger back in but the screen would just not light up. Tried holding the power and volume button key at the same time, but to no avail. Took the battery out and kept the power button pressed and then put the battery back in. Still wouldnt work. I then connected the phone to my laptop and pressed the volume up key to enter into download. Nothing.
What is wrong with my phone? The phone is just DEAD. It doesnt even light up showing that its charging when i put the plug in. What should I do?
The phone is rooted. Its on stock rom btw.

Please do some search and refer to the bootloop thread as there is no need to create new one. since there are many discussions on this topic already. Try freezer or baking method and see if you can at least get it to boot to have your data backed up.
Basically, the device wont turn on no matter what I do, no matter what key combinations I use. If I plug it into a power outlet, the LG logo comes up, then the tablet shuts down, then the LG logo comes up, rinse and repeat.
If I plug it into a PC, I get the sound of it connecting and disconnecting over and over, but nothing comes up on the display.
I've never had a bricked device that I couldn't unbrick by going into adb or download-mode but I can't even get into download mode. I'm stuck and ran out of ideas.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
EDIT: I got it to show the charging logo. Basically just left it plugged in doing the logo-loop for about 15 minutes until the battery indicator showed up. Very strange. Hopefully once it's charged everything will be fine.
Have you pressed the volume up key + pressed the power button multiple times over and over, I can get mine into download mode only if I use that method.
When I corrupted my tablet, first it would hang on the LG logo screen and never boot into anything, once, then I got the issue of it boot looping only into TWRP only even after installing ROM's, then flashed TWRP in TWRP, and wala, fastboot boot loop only, for the life of me I could not get it to go into download mode, I had almost given up, but alas the last attempt to randomly smash buttons unveiled that holding volume up + clicking power over and over rather quickly rendered it to download mode...
If your getting the LG logo screen its likely that you can recover it.
As for the connecting/disconnecting, its likely that the device your connecting it to cant provide the power being pulled by the device, I have to use a powered USB hub for my Alienware 17 (R2) early 2015 laptop, as it cant handle the power draw of almost any devices, I have had issues even with self powered USB portable hard drives, so I really can feel your pain.
I was getting a notice on boot that said "Your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted," so I held down the power and volume down buttons to get it to fastboot mode. However, I couldn't get it to be recognized in fastboot on my laptop. At one point I selected "reboot bootloader" and the phone promptly shut off, black screen and completely unresponsive.
From that point on, I can't get it to do anything. I've tried holding power + volume down for 20 seconds and then plugging it in (as noted in another thread) as well as taking it apart and disconnecting the battery to see if that would reset it somehow. No dice.
Any other suggestions before I give up? Thanks very much in advance...

my device is for the most part of the time in qualcomm mode, but I managed to have access to the phone 3 days ago, installing apps & stuff, worked perfectly well until I had
the bad idea to try to charge it through the charger instead of charging it through my computer...
how I've done it?
I used the power reboot technic :
1) pressing the power button for 1 minute
2) doing nothing for some seconds
3) pressing the power button again for 1 minute
4) connecting the phone to the charger, the red light flashed
5) the battery icon appeared soon after
6) waiting for complete charge, phone rebooting
it worked once, so I suppose it can work again. fingers crossed.
