Hi Guys,
I brought KF 1 year back and I am not happy with interface and their Android apps. So I tired want install new android media in KF. I tried to root kindle fire, it went so bad that i can't recover or i can't even kindle icon in my computer ( Windows 7 ) . I tried different kind of threads that you guys posted. But non of them is worked. I tired and vexed with downloading this update and that updated non of them worked.
I thinks I lost necessary backup during the rooting. With out making connection to computer i can't install android software. Please send suggestions on this one.
Thanks in advance ,
I'm seeming to have a similar problem, i havent flashed a rom onto my kindle in a while. That is untilll recently. I wiped everything factory reset, dalvik, cache, system, and sd card. Then when i went to mount to copy a new rom over my Kindle using TWRP v2.1.1 i cant mount it to my pc. Doesnt show upm and when i manage to connect it shows up as unknown device. I've tried soupkit, the kindle fire ultimate utility, and various programs, reinstalled drivers, used drivers from different programs like KFU and the andriod SDK however nothing works. I cant seem to mount my kindle or get adb services running. Right now i can boot into TWRP recovery but nothing else. There is no rom currently installed, or FFF. Can anyone help? It would be appreciated.
get a factory cable. i hear an xda develepor sells them. they get kfs into fastboot.

If you can get your computer to recognize your KF as anything, right click in the Device Manager, and click the settings. Go to the driver, and I think (if I read correctly) that you have some sort of driver loaded. Choose to roll back your driver, and then close. In KFU, choose to install drivers (run the drivers.bat file in KFU). Since I used KFU, that's all I know, but feel free to use some other driver that you think works. I think that I used 0.9.6, and that worked really well for me at least. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling the drivers instead, in Device Manager.
I had your problem for a while, and I think I rolled back the drivers, and installed again, but I can't remember.
Anyway, hopefully this helps. Let me know if it does, too!

Hello all,
I need some help and guidance in fixing my Kindle Fire. Some background:
My Kindle Fire was on 6.3.1 when I rooted it, no custom roms, just root so I can get Google Framework on it since I use Google Docs and the Google Market. After about a week or so, I decided I wanted to go back to an unrooted Fire so I can get access to my stock book reading app and Instant VOD.
I had FFF and TWRP on my Kindle Fire as well, running Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
After much searching, every unroot guide kept pointing me back to flashing the stock rom. So I downloaded the latest update.zip through KFU, booted into TWRP, wiped, installed the update.zip, and rebooted.
After that, I hit the Kindle Fire logo, static, and it hangs there. I power off and on, still hangs. I don't have the blue/white FFF recovery anymore so booting into recovery wasn't an option. I then connected the Kindle to my computer, opened KFU, and tried to change the boot option through option 1, and every time I change it, Fastboot, Normal boot, etc. it sends the command, Kindle reboots, but then hangs again on the static logo.
I tried reinstalling FFF and TWRP through KFU to try and reflash, but it shows as preparing, then waiting for device, and nothing. Again, just hanging.
I even tried the manual shell commands I've seen around the forums and in the Kindle Fire for Beginners Guide, but I keep hanging on "Waiting for device" in the cmd prompt.
I don't know what else to do and I'm becoming more confused with the different types of issues that everyone is reporting, with each one have one detail different from my situation. I had no custom roms, just a root, and it seems I may have flashed a bad stock rom.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I apologize if this was solved somewhere else, but I searched numerous threads and guides, but they all dealt with something going wrong with a custom rom or people getting to the animated Kindle Fire logo, where as mine is just static.
Again, thank you for your time.
Sounds like it's stuck in fastboot bootmode to this noob. I had the same problem at one point and used command line to fix with the simple bootmode switching commands - can't recall if I used fastboot or adb tools..but either should work. And if I'm reading your post right, you've tried these so this is likely above my meager skill level, heh. You are handling it better than I did, I might add.
If I may point out where you went wrong:

There are apps in the Google Play store that will temporarily remove your root status so you are able to use services that detect and shut down when root is detected. OTArootkeeper.apk is one that I've heard of.
And don't ever chose to lose fff once you have that as this is your lifeline to unbricking.
Hopefully someone with better chops than I on this will post up - continue with your patient reading and take a little comfort that this is most probably fixable.
First off, I applaud you for trying to figure out and fix the problem yourself using the guides available. Thank you. The information you provided will go a long way to getting the help you need.
So far it seems you've done everything right, but to be sure, you should check to make sure your drivers are in order (most likely the problem). The second post of the Beginners Guide will help you with that.
Once you have done that and you still can't change your bootmode, try using recovery to flash a custom rom. It's possible the stock boot image you have has been corrupted. You can use the "mount" function in recovery to push another rom to your sdcard. If that works you can stick with a custom rom like MoDaCo. It's the same stock stock interface with Google apps and services installed and you don't have to worry about OTA updates. OTA Rootkeeper will let you easily switch between "rooted" and "unrooted" so you can take advantage of Amazon's VOD.
And if you still want pure stock you can d/l a new copy of the update and try again.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did try OTA Rootkeeper, but when I went into my Instant VOD, it still had the buttons grayed out. I tried temp unroot, reboot Kindle, and still grayed out, so I assumed Rootkeeper wasn't working for me, thus, the looking for the unroot tutorials.
A little bit of extra information, when I hook up my Kindle Fire, my drivers says Android Composite ADB Interface. When I try to switch to Fastboot to have it switch to Android ADB Interface, it doesn't switch. It just stays as Composite.
Thanks again.

I followed the advice in the Beginners Guide, uninstalled whatever drivers I had, rebooted my comp, then installed the ones that came with the KFU download.
Are there any other drivers I should be looking for?
Also, a little bit of more information, I tried switching to Fastboot through KFU, received some messages to the effect of "system/some file name file not found (2)", (I apologize for not being specific, typing from memory), it then reboots my Kindle Fire, then I execute the commands:
fastboot getvar product
After that, it just says <waiting for device>
In fact, after any command I do in cmd, I get that message. So I believe it may be a driver issue, like was suggested, or my Kindle isn't far enough into the boot process to be found.
It definitely sounds like a driver issue. Keep working on your drivers.
If that doesn't work, you can try it on a different computer OR set up a Linux LiveUSB for issuing adb/fastboot commands.
FIX for Kindle stuck on logo
Finally I FIXED MY KINDLE FIRE!!!!
Issue : Kindle Fire stuck on 'Kindle Fire' logo and never moves after that.
Hello All,
Just like others in here, even I tried to upgrade to new version of Android on my kindle and I messed it up very bad.
I have read a post where, some-one just updated that it is because we have enabled fast boot on it and we need to move to regular boot.
However, none of the solutions suggest on this website worked for me (am not saying my friends are wrong in here).
Finally the work around that WORKED for me, and am sure this will be help you all.
When you are wiping/erasing the data/SD card, please do not wide the ROM. If you delete the ROM - Booom!!, you are cutting off the branch yo are
sitting ON )
Now if you have already done that.. please follow the steps.
You have intall/upgrade to a new version of Android.
Make sure you have the TWRP 2.1.x or 2.2.0 installed << which you will have, using that only you wiped off your kindle )
Now download the latest version of Andriod Jelly Bean and Google app on your computer from the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778010
1. Now, boot ur kindle into recovery.
2. Connect your kindle to your computer, if the computer recongnise your kindle paste both files onto kindle, and move to step 6
3. If your kindle is not recognized (like in my case), go to mount option in recovery
4. Choose mount USB
5. Kindle will be recognized in computer, and copy the files.
6. Disconnect Kindle from the computer
7. Wipe data/factory reset
8. Wipe cache
9. Wipe dalvik
10. Install ROM <install Andriod Jelly Bean> Do not install Google Apps
11. Reboot
Once you do a normal reboot, your system will boot into Andriod Jelly Bean edtion. Go to file manager and reach out to Google Apps and install the

I am stuck at the very same place you are. I was in an endless bootloop after trying to flas back to the Stock Amazon ROM using TWRP. Once i got the drivers sorted out and ADB could see my device i used KFU to "Install permanent Root with Superuser". The KF went to reboot into fastboot and the screen said "waiting for device" for about ten minutes. Now the KF is stuck at the white and orange "kindle Fire" boot logo. Windows will no longer see the KF as an android device. It only shows up as an "unknown device" in the device manager.

Ok, I dont know, how to fix this (as I was not in this situation). Try following the steps - Download update.zip through KFU. Connect your Kindle to PC and install the android driver. If your PC detects the kindle copy update.zip file to kindle and try to install that.

Im in the same boat you are. I have tried everything stuck on same logo device is recognized in devices as android phone and adb interface but cannot connect to unbrick utility or KFU and doesnt show as a drive either. tried to search devices in cmd using fastboot commands and nothing shows either. I decided to purchase a factory cable today on ebay. Keeping my fingers crossed because after reading everything I could find I think it is my only option.
No, your problem is as "simple" as fixing your drivers so the computer can communicate with the device through adb and fastboot. KFU relies on those two tools to do pretty much anything. Unfortunately, Windows is stupid and is not very effective when dealing with certain USB devices.
In order to, say, install TWRP, you need adb to change the bootmode to accept fastboot commands, and use fastboot commands to overwrite the recovery partition. In the process of going between different boot modes, Windows had a hissy fit and decides not to communicate with the device at all. Hence the need to fix/reinstall the drivers. It doesn't always work out that way and you get stuck where you are right now. A factory cable will put you in fastboot, but it wont make Windows communicate with the device. You can continue to fight with Windows drivers and hope to get lucky, or you could try other, more effective options...

Somewhere on the many tabs I have open, as I frantically search for ways to unbrick my Kindle fire... I run into " SoupKit" for Linux ... install it... mess around with the Bootloader .. change it to 4002 I believe the value was ... my Kindle that I've been working on for literally 6 hrs is back on! ... now on the figuring out how to root it / remove demo software. SOUPKIT!

Ok, so I had TWRP including FFF installed, as well as all the other features that comes with kindle fire utility, when I decided that I wanted to restore to stock firmware.
I placed the update.bin in kindleupdates folder on the Kindle itself, and launched TWRP Recovery to install the rom/firmware.
When it was done installing, I was such a nutjob not thinking, that I decided to also delete everything (system, sdcard, cache, dalvik-cache), as well as to tell it to restore to factory settings, where I immediately after told it to reboot. Totally dumb, I know it, so now it's stuck at the "original"/orange Kindle Fire-logo, and just hanging there (i'm able to turn it on/off though), hence it can't restore stock firmware since I deleted everything off the kindle after I installed that stock firmware. It doesn't even have TWRP anymore (boot options doesn't appear when turning the kindle on.)
I also tried to connect it to the USB-port on my PC, (already have drivers installed), but it just gives me the "badom"-sound implying that a USB has been connected, nothing else. I can't even access the Kindle as an external storage device anymore now.

Yes because my PC won't even detect my Kindle now!
Fix your drivers.
Otherwise you can use SoupKit w/Linux Live USB to save yourself some hassle in getting ADB to connect. Either way, it's very likely your shell is missing or corrupt, requiring a factory cable to get into fastboot.

Jus check if our kindle is coming up under the USB devices as a composite USB device..if so uninstall the driver and reconnect the kindle..
It shd get detected under other devices..install the drivers manually by clicking dont install and use have disk and get it detected as a android phone or android composite interface..
If that works u can use adb commands and try..this might help u recover or kindle

Hey I'm a brand new member so I apologize in advance if my problem has been solved already, however, I could not find anything on any of the threads. Okay so I am severely confused right now. I have had my Kindle Fire for almost a year now and this problem has never occurred. Ever since I got my Kindle I have been experimenting on it. I rooted it and have flashed many different custom roms. I had been using TWRP Recovery 2.0 for a long time and when I found out that it was outdated I updated it to the new 2.2.1.1 version...Everything seemed to be working perfectly until I tried mounting USB storage in the new TWRP...It did not work. My computer wouldn't recognize it. I kind of just let this slide since I figured I wouldn't need to mount USB storage in TWRP unless it was an emergency. A while later I switched back to the Kindle's stock rom. That's when I noticed that it would not mount...Not only was TWRP not mounting, but it was my Kindle altogether. I deleted all drivers that had any thing to do with Android from my computer. After restarting both my computer and my Kindle I tried mounting again...Nothing. The drivers weren't even reinstalling. To test wether this was a problem with my computer or my Kindle I got my brother's Kindle Fire (Never had any tweaking done to it) and mounted USB storage. It installed the drivers and mounted just fine. I then plugged my Kindle back in and it mounted just fine also. I thought I had solved the issue, but about an hour later I tried mounting my Kindle again and nothing happened. My brother's Kindle will mount (Actually there are a total of four Kindles in my house all of which have not been tweaked except for mine) but mine won't do anything. As a last resort I deleted EVERYTHING with TWRP and flashed the Kindle Fire 6.3.1 update.zip. My Kindle is now true factory default (no root, custom recovery, etc...). I thougt for sure this would work but IT STILL WON'T MOUNT USB STORAGE!!! When I plug my Kindle in and go to "Devices and Printers" it recognizes my device as a "Kindle" but I just cannot get it to mount! I am now stuck with a Kindle that cannot be re-rooted or anything due to the fact that it cannot be recognized with ADB. Sorry for the long post...I am just trying to give as much information as possible. By the way I am running Windows 7 and my Kindle is the only one that will not mount which makes this problem have nothing to do with drivers or my computer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Wheww okay well try a factory reset this will wipe your sdcard as well. It should resolve most your problems. There are multiple things that can cause this to happen but one thing that really comes to mind. Are you ejecting your kindle before hitting the disconnect button? Just a wild guess but failing to do so can cause this disorder the very next time you plug it in. Something that could resolve minor sdcard issues is
Code:
fastboot oem format
don't let this make you to crazy yet RC soupmagnet should be releasing something very soon that will solve the majority of SD card mount problems hint hint . You will need to reroot and flash a custom ROM on it to have success though. So if nothing works hang tight and stay tuned.
This might help

Thepooch, no I had not been ejecting it before disconnecting. I'll do that from now on. Also commands do not work because my computer doesn't recognize my Kindle as either a storage device or an ADB device, and what does it mean what it says "fastboot not found"? I made sure I have the fastboot.exe in my ADB folder...Soupmagnet, I can't get those commands to work since I'm no longer rooted and my computer doesn't recognize me...

I don't use Windows so I couldn't tell what's normal for that OS.
Use the tutorial here to confirm your drivers are installed properly. Then Shift + right-click on your KFU "tools" folder with adb.exe and fastboot.exe, and select "Open command window here". Enter your adb or fastboot commands there and see how it goes. Start with "adb devices" to see if you are connected. If not, reinstall your drivers and try again.
Some ROMs have different product IDs than the stock OS so you may want to look into that if you are using a custom ROM, and edit your androidwinusb.inf accordingly. I know some JB roms have a PID of 0004 instead of 0006.
If for some reason Windows refuses to cooperate, you could always set up a Linux LiveUSB and get it done a lot easier.
Okay so I've been fiddling around with stuff. I completely uninstalled all Android drivers again then restarted my PC and Kindle. This time I plugged my Kindle in and it installed the correct drivers. It mounted USB just fine. When I tried reinstalling the ADB drivers that came with Kindle Fire Utility it erased the Kindle's normal drivers, so now it won't mount anymore...at least I know that it is a driver problem and that my Kindle doesn't need to be repartitioned. I'm really getting sick of Windows and its annoying drivers...Any ideas on how to get all the drivers to work? If not I think I might just install Ubuntu and screw the need for drivers.

If you run the driver bat packaged with kfu with the device plugged in sometimes it will waste the mass storage drivers. It`s always best to run it then plug the device in and see what windows decides to install. Unplug, replug, unplug, replug as well as try this while in recovery because it will also attempt to install the drivers as well in recovery.

I can boot to TWRP.. I want to start over and flash the Amazon update 6.3.1 but my
Windows 7 PC cannot connect to the Kindle over usb. Fastboot seems to connect
(returns "Kindle" on fastboot getvar product) ADB does not show any devices attached.
I have deleted and reinstalled drivers - Windows does not recognize the Kindle.
Will a factory cable allow my PC to recognize my stuck Kindle?
Which version of twrp are you using?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app
A factory cable will only put your device in fastboot. If you plug the kindle in while in recovery it should install the correct drivers. Try connecting to your computer and selecting mount and hit the big button to access your sdcard contents, where you can transfer a new rom zip to it. I wouldn`t attempt to flash stock unless you research prior many brick their devices and then a factory cable is needed. Did you wipe before flashing? If so how and what?
Also, do you have FireFireFire installed?
Thank you for your replies!
I have FFF installed
TWRP is 2.3
I did do a cache wipe and factory reset within TWRP
I did see this morning manofFishfry posting "[Q] I need help bad"
and it seems he was having a nearly identical problem with USB
connection.
I will attempt thepooch's recommendation:

I will post any progress I make.
Many thanks

TWRP 2.3 is your issue if you do get ubuntu setup with Soupkit simply replace 2.3 with 2.2.2.1 and rewipe and reflash another rom.

Looks like I'm still stuck then - I've only got Win7 on my PC - unbuntu is WAY out of my league.
I'll try Zombiepiratez unbrick utility

It`s not that far out of your league. Use universal usb creator to make a live usb with persistent run soupkit on it reboot the usb Your in like flin If you want help I can help you at some point to get this done.

I removed the Kindle drivers from my Laptop PC and then connected my son's unrooted stock KF1. It was recognized, the drivers loaded, and I loaded the KFU drivers and updated them no problem. I ran KFU and got 4000 on the code.
I then plugged in my "stuck in TWRP/FFF/JB Splash Screen" rooted KF1 and the PC sees it as a removable memory device. It prompts me to load it with media when I double click on it. KFU can't find it. ADB can't find it. Fastboot can get "Kindle" from getvar product, but nothing else.
What can I do next?
Thanks!

One new thing: I mounted the SD card using TWRP, then my Win 7 Laptop could connect to my Kindle via usb as an external drive. Win 7
then siad the drive needed reformatting. KFU still would not connect.
would the soupkit help in this situation? I had the same problem but figured out the whole mounting from TWRP and it worked for me

Your sdcard issue and ADB issue are two completely unrelated things. The ADB issue is due to the way Windows handles drivers. Fix the driver problem or use SoupKit/Linux.
The sdcard issue is due to your sdcard losing its formatting somehow. You'll have to reformat (quick format, block size 4096) in order to use it again. You will lose all data on the sdcard BTW.
"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh"
Huzzah! Success in spite of myself!
Many thanks to each of the experts that each gave me nuggets of info that eventually
unbricked my KF1.
I last posted that Win 7 would see my Kindle when I used TWRP to mount the SD card.
It prompted for me to "format the device" and feeling I had nothing to lose - selected
default settings and quick format.
This then opened a File Manager window giving me access to the SDcard folder on the KF1.
I had downloaded the Stock update from Amazon update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin
On another thread - Soupmagnet had said to rename this BIN file to a ZIP - which I did.
I shortened the file name to update-kindle-6.3.1.zip.
I de-mounted the SDcard folder in TWRP.
I wiped the Dalvic and did a factory reset.
I navigated to the Install screen and it found the update file and installed it.
UNBRICKED!
Thanks again for the tireless help you guys give.
