Hey guys, I'm not sure how I got my Kindle stuck in a boot loop, but I need some help getting it out. I have this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889 for unbricking. The problem I run into is that for some reason the utility wont show my device at all. In my device manager on my computer it shows the kindle as Amazon with the yellow triangle. I have tried everything I could find to get my computer and thus the utility used in the above thread to pick it up and get it out of the boot loop. In case you need to know the ROM I tried to flash before I had this issue can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614004 .
Exact same issue doesn't connect to computer

If you are getting stuck at the ROM's bootanimation and it won't go any further, your system software is broken. You'll have to get to recovery or at least into fastboot mode to fix it. If you have the stock bootloader, you have no easy way to get into recovery, so you'll probably need a factory cable. Read this...

This probably won't hurt either...

Thanks
Just contacted amazon about getting a new factory cable. Also, as much as I hate to admit it, I could probably use that guide

didn't work
Okay so I plugged my kindle in with a samsung charger I had, and it turned on when I plugged it in. Now it is plugged in, and it can't get past the kindle fire logo. What should I do? The computer doesn't recognize it either

Download in use Kindle Fire Utility from the development section. Use it install window driver for KF, install TWRP, and reset boot mode. It is the tool for you. You just need to study how to use it.
Hope it helps.
Howdy everyone,
I was trying to install a new ROM on my kindle fire using TWRP but I must have goofed and deleted something because I bricked my kindle fire. My Kindle Fire is stuck on the kindle fire logo screen and it stays there without restarting. If I hold the power button the kindle fire will eventually shut down. When I plug in the kindle to my computer, the computer reads it and I can find it on my Device and Printers applet but I cannot open in My Computer. I’m running Windows 7 Home Premium. I've tried using the Kindle Fire Utility and the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility and nothing works.
If anybody can help me unbrick … please please please help me out. Also, if you can write it out, step-by-step that would help me out since I’m still new to rooting.
Thank you.

how is it that you cannot get back into recovery do a wipe and reflash or restore a backup?
I don't know what's going on with it. I don't know what other info to tell you all but if you guys ask questions I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. Thanks.

I share the same problem as you, unfortunately.
I've also tried the unbrick utility, however i can not get my windows premium to recognize the device as kindle. Tried to inistall the drivers. No avail on my end for any of the solutions provided.
Tried to figure out how to install drivers as ADB composite, not sure how that is done either.
Still searching out answers, hopefully someone can give us advice and send us in the right direction.
If i find a resolution, i will post here to assist you.

This is for my 9 year old daughter.
I bought her a kindle fire for christmas but she didnt like the user interface but loved the way my samsung note 2 ran. So to stop her using my note 2 all the time i decided to go ahead and root her kindle fire. Which i did fine. i struggled with installing cutom recover but found TWEEZERMOD worked briiliant along with the cordless APK.
i tried to install cm-10.1-20130218-UNOFFICIAL-otter2.zip and it worked like a charm. In cuoidstom recovery i did all the nessasary wipes beofre installing the rom to avoid being stuck at boot lolgo and it loaded up perfect!
i then downlaoded another om to test that (i shouldnt have pushed my luck) jb-4.2-kfire-hashcode-12-11 and it installed but never booted.
I am now stuck on the white and orrange kindle fire logo. my computer wont recognise or ackowladge that the kindle fire is plugged into it so i cannot use unbrick utility or anything.
I have been upp all night desperatly trying to solve this problem and im stuck.
please please help me i have do get this done before my daughter wakes otherwise i lose all hero status.
i will await your response
thank you

Ive tried holding the power button for 20 seconds to reboot into recovery but no joy
Nothing happens
When i switch it on it just stays on the "kindle fire" white and orange logo. When i hold the power button down, it switches off. So if i hold it for 20 seconds it powers on for about 15 seconds (still holding power) then it goes of. I have plugged it into my laptop when its off then it comes on (back to the kindle fire logo) but the laptop wont detect it.
im in dyer need of help here
No option for boot into recovery. Piror to me installing the second rom a blue "kindle fire" Logo would show and say " press power button to boot into recovery" id press it and that took me into twrp. And as you know from there i can do wipes and reinstall a rom.
But it doesnt get past "kindle fire" white and orange logo.
this is where im stuck.
there is nothing on this site that i have found to help me out it looks like a new problem. which is just my luck.

You don't have FireFireFire installed so you need to get a factory cable.
Factory cable? hhmmmmmmmmm now im in trouble. What would this do?
when you say factory cable do you mean the cable that came with the kindle?
Factory cable
PLEASE NOTE: THIS CABLE IS NOT A STANDARD USB DATA AND CHARGING CABLE IT LOOKS THE SAME AS A STD CABLE BUT IS WIRED TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO A STD USB CABLE. It is a factory cable that is specifically designed to access functions on devices that cannot be accessed with a standard USB Data Cable.
What is a Factory Cable?
Unlike a normal USB cable these cables are wired in a way that allow compatible Motorola phones or devices, including the Kindle Fire to recognize a "factory" setting when plugged in. This allows the phone or device to power up and be flashed without having a battery in the phone, (no battery removal is required with Kindle Fire). Depending upon the model of the phone or device, it may also boot up differently than it does with a normal USB cable.
A Factory Cable is used when your device is being made in the ‘factory’, the manufacturer plugs in a cable and loads the Operating System for the first time. They use the special cable as shown in the Ebay listing above which makes the device download a boot-loader easily. A Factory Cable allows you to do the exact same thing – it enables someone to load a new boot-loader easily. This can, in turn, be used to load new ROMS (Operating systems) and access a device such as the Kindle Fire in a boot mode when it has been impossible to access the Device.
If you want to buy one, go with SkorPn's factory cable. Unless you are cheap and you want to buy it from China...
Here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20380015
It is different from a regular USB cable or a power cable like the one that came with the kindle in the sense that it shorts the kindle, which causes the device to be put into fastboot.

Is youre kindle a KF2? before you rooted/rom'ed it, what was the system version? I think you flashed your Kindle Fire 2 with a KF1 rom. Was your 1st rom from here: http://get.cm/?device=otter or Here: http://get.cm/?device=otter2. If your rom was the 2nd one, you have a KF2 and you flashed the rom for the KF1 on the 2nd one. You will have to get a factory cable (The one jma9454 shows)
Ichigo said:
Ah, yes. I took a look, and the first ROM you flashed was powerpoint45's build fore the kindle fire 2. You said it worked like a charm, so I assume you have a kf2. You should not flash any ROMS you find over here, for they are kf1 only

And TweezerMod is only KF2.
Case Solved!
ok guys im back!!! thank you all so very much for your input last time round i need to call on your good selves again!
I have purchased a factory cable. I have it plugged in to my laptop and on the screen i have in red the words FASTBOOT with a green light flashing.

You have a 2nd generation Kindle Fire. You should probably start with the Kindle Fire 2 forums.

As much as I would LOVE to take your money, there are others more deserving of your donation...

ok so i bricked my kindle and i have everything to fix it but when i plug my kindle fire hd in the computer dosnt pick it up. idk much but i read about some drivers needed so i tried installing ABD drivers so i would detect my kindle fire hd so i could fix it well they always fail to install idk why just dosnt install im on windows 7 and i dont even know if i need those any help at all is greatly appreciated
If its bricked it usually doesn't show up, you have to get it into fast boot mode with a fast boot cable in order to get your PC to recognize it. I saw u said HD though this is in the kf2 section, so I'm basing this on what I know about bricked hd's. I don't have a kf2.

Hello. A friend of mine gave me his Kindle fire 2nd Gen thats stuck at the Kindle Fire logo. He rooted it and did fire fire fire and has version 1.4a on it and also TWRP. I can get into TWRP, I can use it as a usb device and send files to it through TWRP but have had no luck in fixing it. I bought a Fastboot cable (factory cable) and it will NOT go into fastboot no matter what I try (Kindle Fire triangle). Im beating my head against the wall on whats wrong with this thing and have read so much my eyes are gunna explode. I have tried every fixit prog out there. ADB commands....it doesnt even see the device. I just want to flash this thing back to stock and from all the reading I have done a fastboot cable is key. But it doesnt work. ANyone have some time to give me some help with this???? I would appreciate it greatly.
PS. I have tried All/Most of the fixit progs out there...KFHD, Kindle unbrick utility, etc
