Hi
I rooted my KF using kindle fire utility 0.9.5 -successfully.
After flashing gede ROM, KF is boot looping (there is a CM9 logo with the android guy flashing on the screen)---rebooting KF brings me back to the same screen
I have absolutely no access to the device. Kindle unbrick v.1--does not do anything, it gives: waiting for device
kindle fire utility gives: device offline
adb device gives: error: device not found
however, when i plug in the KF into my computer, under Device Manager--the KF is listed as "Galaxy" with a yellow triangle. No longer listed as kindle.
Please help! Thanks
Does this sound like it may apply to you?

Thank you for your response. the KF is fully charged so power is not an issue. The biggest issue is I have no access to the device in order to do anything. Device cannot be recognized and it reads as a Galaxy in device manager
Oh, that problem...

Thanks soupmagnet. However still no progress. my device is still bootlooping.
How can I get into recovery while it is still bootlooping.
I am quite (100%) certain the issue you are describing is a dead battery. It is the only issue known that causes the boot logo to flash like that. Your battery most likely died while asleep as some roms don't sleep or shut down properly.
I'm willing to bet if you pay attention and follow the steps from the links I originally gave you, you'll be able to fix your device.

Qem is saying that as soon as the ROM was flashed and went into boot mode, the kindle kept bootlooping the ROM intro over and over.
Turning the KF on and off does nothing as the KF is trying to boot into the ROM but never gets past the intro screen (blue-ish android cartoon, CM9 type intro).
Because of the bootlop, there is no way to get into recovery physically and when connected to the computer, the kindle is being shown as a galaxy unit with no drivers, probably due to the flashed ROM.

My apologies. Apparently I misunderstood that portion of the first post and it's likely I'm just getting threads confused. So again, I apologize.
Based on this newly discovered information, I'm willing to bet you have Clockwork Mod recovery installed as opposed to TWRP. Yes? or No?

Qem can't post links so I posted her response instead.
"Again, thanks for your response. Yes I have clockwork Mod.
At first the KF kept bootlooping to the KF intro screen followed by a small portion of the ROM intro.
After multiple resets the intro just continues forever.
Here is a link to what it looks like. Its been like this even after powering off and on.

Any ideas for bootloop

However did you see the you-tube link in chat #9?
I do not have any access to the device (in order to install TWRP) because no application (KF utility, Kindle unbrick, cmd prompt) can find the device: "ERROR: device not found".
The only place in which the device is found is in device manager but it lists the KF as "Galaxy".
May be I might be missing something...
You need to flash a different rom, like cm7, older version of cm9, or MoDaCo, just long enough to install TWRP. CWM will not install later versions of cm9.
You can mount your sdcard in TWRP, or if your drivers are working properly, you can use the "push" command in adb to transfer another rom.

I am having the same issue.
The problem is we flashed CWM, then a CM9 rom. Now just runs the aminamtion.zip boot screen and does nothing. it is unable to get into fastboot or CWM. inorder to flash another rom to install TWRP
KF has internal sdcard... cant mount TWRP

Pardon me I am desperate to get my KF in a working condition.
However the KF does not have an external SD card. Therefore to mount TWRP on the sdcard, I need access to the device. This access is what i dont have... The sdcard on the KF is internal and I cannot open any folders in the KF due to the bootloop

No, you're misunderstanding me.
If you want to install the TWRP from inside the rom (i.e. using gscript or smirkit), you have to access recovery (in your case, CWM) to mount your sdcard. It will mount to your computer as an external drive, like a thumb drive. While mounted, transfer a rom that will work with CWM from your computer to your sdcard, then flash it in recovery to have a working rom to install TWRP.
Otherwise, if you want to use the command line method to install TWRP...
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/twrp2.1.img
...but considering KFU says "offline", that is out of the question unless you can get your drivers working.

So I was able to find drivers for the "Galaxy" (http://pastebin.com/nhbaaWMu) and installed it. This enabled KFU to recognize my device as "online".
However there are two issues (1) there is no access to the drive. it mounts like an external drive, but does not open/explore. like an external drive or USB would.
(2) when i try to go into recovery mode via KFU, KFU gets stuck.
When you say fastboot flash recovery /path/to/twrp2.1.img, does the "path/to/twrp2."1-- mean the actual file path to where TWRP is located on my computer or is the "path/to" part of the cmd line input

[Edit:] I've heard one of the roms here won't mount the sdcard in TWRP but I'm not sure which one. It may be gedeRom.

Thank you for your help thus fat, I appreciate it. However I still have not fixed the issue...
I tried it (actual path to file), it still said "waiting for device".
after a while, I held held power button to manually reboot, still nothing.
I also uninstalled and re installed the drivers... nothing
using KFU to boot into normal mode still returns "system cannot find the drive specified."
at wits end...

so yesterday i got tired of my ICS Rom. So, i went to recovery (TWRP) then recovered my old back up of stock. But since it had all the settings like when I flashed the rom, I Factory reseted it. But then suddenly it had deleted the whole stock rom! Couldn't go back. So my kindle was stuck on recovery loop over and over again. I got really impatient. So I started moving around then I mounted my Kindle to my computer and apped the ICS Rom that I used before. Then it flashed but it was still stuck on recovery. started moving more stuff on it, clicked the partitioning sd card and now I can't mount my kindle via Usb -___- and Then I new it was on Recovery fastboot. Please help! I Need this fixed. it deleted everything. and when I connected it to Adb shell, it says "Missing system/bin/sh"
Help me! i'm going to california on next week and I would like my kindle to work for me to play, listen to music, watch tv on it on the way.
Sorry for bad Grammar -___-
Do you have FFF? Is fastboot working at all? If so, have you tried fastboot oem format? (this will cause all your data to get lost), or booting/reflashing TWRP?

I Have FFF 1.4, have TWRP 2.1 and fastboot works. But Mounting USB don't work. In recovery it says (cannot mount /sdcard/ (Invalid argument).)
What's the output of
adb shell "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 p"
?
Can you please explain what that means. i really don't now many of these commands. I need more like a Step-by-step. Like in ADB Shell, it says error: device not found

Means your KF is either not plugged in, or the drivers are wrong. You can't go on until the drivers are properly installed, if that's your issue. Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747671&postcount=2
Okay, Installed ADB Drives I think it now works it just tells me (exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2))
Can you type "fastboot getvar product" and then restart/plug in the KF?
Dasanko said:

Yes i did and it says "Kindle"
Get TWRP (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/79) and type "fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img" and see if you can get ADB working now.
Okay I already have TWRP Installed on 2.1.1 so Do I just go on Recovery and try to work adb shell on there instead of FFF Fastboot?
You just hinted at your ADB not working properly, try to fastboot boot into that TWRP to see if ADB works fine from it (I guess your drivers are good on the Device Manager, no errors or warnings showing up?). If it doesn't, then I guess the alternative is to try restoring the entire stock layout...
okay, I have TWRP, and when i have the usb connected to Kindle while its on Recovery, My Internet i use a Easytether so you can tell what android devices are connected and while my kindle is on recovery, The Easytether says My Kindle can connect, (but it really cant) and the ID Shows up that 0000005 number? but I Really Need My kindle to work! -__-
These issues have been fixed.
For future reference, this user was experiencing a combination of bad drivers and a corrupt sd card partition (rm 12 + mkpartfs primary fat32 start end + name 12 media).
The ADB issues were gone after fixing the drivers, without a need to reinstall TWRP.
Hi everyone, I have two kindle fire, I messed with both of them.
I've root them the first one has the problem with the yellow triangle logo stucked. And the other one I've tried to reset it to the factory settings and everything was cool until I hit the TWRP utility and I think I erased everything.
I've see tons of posts regarding rooting and troubleshooting related to rooting and i'm pretty sick of rooting, I think that 3 months is sufficient time, please DON'T POST anything related to rooting.
I'm here asking if anyone knows how to flash all the data ofthe kindle from the pc and been able to install the factory software, firmware (I don't know) from scratch from my pc. Anyone, please?
The first one is probably stuck in fastboot. Try giving it a go with "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000 && fastboot reboot".
For the second one, "I think I erased everything" is as descriptive as not wanting people to post about your procedure is helpful. What exactly is going on with it? For future reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644970
You should also update both FFF and TWRP on both devices once they are working normally.
If i may suggest flashing modaco first after a good wipe everything except your sdcard I believe this will make a smoother transition if you desire to return to stock before returning to stock always do a good wioe to remove remnants of previous roms download the latest stock bin and rename it to update.zip do not place it in any folder just at the root of your sdcard flash in twrp this will also wipe out twrp and fff I really dont recommend doing this lots of people fail at doing the procedure correcty modaco is stock with only the market added try this approach first then you can retain fff and twrp for custom backups.
Ok, so, I've been investigating and what I'm really looking is to erase ABSOLUTELY everything from the kindle sdcard, system, etc, everything. And I'm looking for a method to sideload from the pc the orginal stock ROM of Kindle Fire. Any clues, directions? Any fully functional software?
I really, don't want to try the adb commands (I've tried them before), nor follow any tutorial about root troubleshooting.
I'm really sick of them and of all that mal-functioning software that you have to download(Eg. Not-responding superOneClick, kindleFireUnbrickUtility saying in one line <No device found> <Processing something> <Congrats, your kindle is good to go! (When it's not)>, Eternal loading Android Commander)
With all due respect I DON'T want any more of those, as I said, 3 months is sufficient time, I feel so frustrated.

Read from "Reverting to stock software". You can manually rename the file and then copy it into the KF instead of using ADB for it, just make sure the extension is .zip and not .zip.bin (Windows hides extensions per default settings).

To restore back to full factory
1. Download Kindle Fire Software Update Version 6.3.1
2. Rename the file to update.zip
3. Get in to TWRP and mount USB drive
4. Copy update.zip to Kindle Fire
5. Unmount USB drive
6. Do factory reset, then wipe system cache, and dalvik cache
7. Flash the update.zip
8. Let it bootloop about 3 times or so...
If you want FFF and TWRP then flash Stock 6.3.1 Basic from TWRP. This has no root or gapps.

When trying to execute the adb shell commands all I get is:
- exec 'system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
I've also tried, fastboot update | flash | boot | flash:raw
This is with one kindle, with the other one, I can't even get the PC to recognized it as a USB
Is there any tool, that really erases everything and take the stock ROM to be installed again? Software, script?

Ahh, that's a bother. It's a pretty annoying error. Could be something messed with your TWRP (I'm assuming you tried the commands from there).
There isn't one, but there's really no need for it... you just rename the ROM to update.zip, wipe cache, dalvik-cache and factory reset, and install update.zip. If you just want to flash stock because you like it better for whatever reason, you could also just look at the MoDaCo custom ROM instead, as it is stock based.
As for the other KF... you can't get it recognized, from where? The ROM? TWRP? Fastboot?

Both of the kindles, are damaged. I can't access them. I just can access one by USB.
For future reference:
This user's issues have been partially dealt with.
The first KF will require a factory cable to be fixed.
The second KF was soft bricked (there were a few corrupt partitions) after a bad flash attempt of the stock ROM. Luckily, FFF was still installed, but the Windows fastboot drivers weren't. Reinstalled FFF+TWRP from Firekit, and then fixed the partitions, wiped and flashed the stock ROM.

Ok, So, I have the factory cable. How can I test its Ok?
I have another question, the kindle is pratically empty no system, no sdcard memory, probably corrupted ¿How do I use the factory cable, to format the Kindle and install the Stock ROM again?
With the KF off and unplugged, type "fastboot getvar product" on a shell (KFU/tools).
Then plug in the KF using the factory cable. If you get anything listed or returned, it should be working fine. Otherwise, if you wait a few seconds and still nothing, you'll have to check the drivers to make sure the correct fastboot ones are installed.
To check the partitions, you can just "fastboot boot twrp.img" to load a TWRP into memory, and then "adb shell parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 p" to print all partitions' information.

Well, I'm at my job now. So I will try this at home, but the shell is not working since system/sh (shell) it's not in the Kindle. I was trying to boot it yesterday with "fastboot boot twrp.img" and nothing. I also tried: "fastboot getvar product" and nothing but I only used the console. Anyway, let's see what happens...
Quick question, I've read that the factory cable puts the Kindle straight into bootmode, ¿So the color of the power button, has something to do with it? ¿I mean how do I know the kindle has entered factory mode? ¿The orange light is an indicator? (With a standard USB Cable I only get the green light with the power button, with the factory cable I first get green light, then orange light)
I've also read that if I can see the Kindle fire logo, the bootloader is Ok. Hence my Kindle is OK, but I can't enter fastboot mode. ¿Can anyone confirm this?
It'll get stuck in the bootloader screen, and fastboot commands should work as well, provided the drivers are properly installed and working.

OK, I've finally made myself a working factory cable. And in the device manger I can see the kindle listed as "Android phone" and in that root it says "Android ADB Interface". Look like drivers are not working. Where can I download them?
Those are the proper drivers for fastboot you should be able to use kfu to send twrp and fff to the device if that doesn't work you will need to fastboot flash them
All I get is < waiting for device>. Looks like the drivers are not installed.
Simply hold the power button down while connected when it says waiting then power it back on and it should send also try unplug replug when it says waiting

(note: I used the KF utility)
Now when i turn the device on, it shows the Kindle fire logo for a second or two, then a bunch of triangles float on the screen forever and nothing happens.
Ive tried a few unbrick utilities but it keeps saying it cant find the device. Im having troubles booting into recovery mode. (the utility says device not found)

Is this what you're refering to when you say you see floating triangles?
http://androidbootanimation.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/nexus-7-bootanimation.jpg
If so, That is the jandycane/Jellybean Boot animation. On first boot that could take a few minutes before it finishes. It does, however, sound like you are having other problems... have you tried contacting the kindle using fastboot?
Also, I would highly suggest flashing TWRP (team win recovery project) rather than CWM on the Kindle Fire, on most devices I would recommend CWM but on this one it doesn't work as well and leads to problems >>
I also assume that you flashed firefirefire because you said you saw the kindlefire logo before it went to the triangles so you should be fine on that front.

Yes thats it! Im going to leave it on for about 5-15 minutes and see what happens. il let you know
I have tried to boot into fastboot mode with the utility and it says cannot find the file specified.
btw: i dont think i installed firefirefire...
EDIT: Yep, after letting the animation run for 10 minutes still nothing.
Im going to try using TWRP now. Il let you know if it helped.

If you're talking about KFU, then no. It is not 100% necessary, It is just designed to make it easier for users so they don't have to use command prompt on their own. I am uploading KindleADB from the burrito root method to help us with what you need to do. I will post a link here when it is finished uploading. Do you know how to use command prompt/adb at all?
KindleADB.zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?1fb30q3wqf95b3i
download this file and unzip and then place it on the root directory of your C:/ Drive (this is not completely necessary, it is just for convenience)
Then try seeing if your device shows up in adb by typing in:

cd /

OR
Code:
cd /
cd kindleadb
fastboot getvar product
Either way you want it to show either a series of numbers or say something like amazon kindle or something to that degree, if it is blank or does not leave the <waiting for device> status then we will need to go in another direction. My suggestion for fastboot would be to turn the kindle completely off and then do those commands and then plug in your kindle when it says <waiting for device>... get back to me on your results and we can go from there
Did both of them. On the first part it says
List of Devices attached: (nothing shows up)
second time i did exactly what you said. it was waiting for device before i turned the kindle on, nothing happened.
EDIT: Okay I tried using the utility again, whenever i try to fastboot or boot into recovery it gives me this error
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
The kindle has been told to reboot in Fastboot Mode.
Press any key to continue . . .
I'm having the same issue here.
The triangles keep turning and nothing happens.
In the KFU the devices keep showing OFFLINE and Boot Status UNKNOW.
The cd /
cd kindleadb
adb devices
don't show the device and
cd /
cd kindleadb
fastboot getvar product
show waiting for device
Edited:
I dunno what i've done, but im KFU appears Online in normal boot (4000), but the options don't work anymore.

As long as you have CWM instead of TWRP, you're just wasting your time trying to install Jelly Bean. Install TWRP and try again.
same problem
I have the same exact problem with my fire, it happened two days ago but i hadn't seen anyone else with the problem. I couldn't fix it so i ordered a factory cable on ebay, I'm waiting on that now...
no fff? how about just booting to recovery and flashing a new rom after a full wipe or restoring a backup or have the normal ways of doing things just become obsolete lol I mean so you cant flash isc or jelly bean mount your sd card in recovery transfer one of a few different cm7 roms which will flash right on cwmr and your golden ...

i'm seeing that too when i try to change it to recovery on KFU, but now its actually showing adb online and boot status 4000 as oppposed to when it said offline and unknown for me
What are all the ways to boot into recovery mode? It wont do it with the KFU.
I understand what I need to do now, Factory reset, then install TWRP, then firefirefire, then flash the rom and Gapps?
How am i supposed to do this if i cant get into recovery mode?

First I would try using the kindle unbrick utility:
I couldn't find the thread for this so I just have it uploaded to my mediafire account: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?6kxjs8kbmgn8h3l
I also found this Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility, it might actually be a newer version of the one I provided above with a Graphic UI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428428
If that doesn't work I would suggest trying a linux environment to contact your device, as Android is linux based and therefore can communicate with a linux machine better than a windows machine. (plus drivers are always a giant mess in windows)
Use this guide to make a portable linux box to try to save your kindle:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670405
If all else fails, you're probably going to need a factory cable to get your Kindle back up and running:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20380015&postcount=9
Once you have this you can run commands from linux very easily to unbrick your kindle. If you need help with this feel free to PM me.
Good time of the day to everyone. I have the problem with my Kindle Fire first gen. Please tell me the solution If someone knows. First was the problem with picture on the screen then I changed the controller of LVDS and then image became normal. But first I thought that this problem is software and though I almost didn't see nothing on the screen I tried to solve the problem in TWRP. When display started to show good picture I did see that tablet do not boot on. So now I can start TWRP recovery but in the log I see that tablet cannot mount sd-card. This is half of the proble. I saw the solution on this forum how to mount by ADB and some command from command line. But the computer also do not see the tablet. The tablet shoes in device manager just from the begining of the booting for about 2 sec. And I cannot do something. Is there any solution in this situation?

Thanks, I will. The problem is that I cannot do any adb which needs that tablet is connected to computer and recognized. My computer see thee tablet only in the time of booting in the begining.
One question, is it possible to write all commands wich I see in instractions for unbricking kindle in native terminal of the TWRP?
Is it possible to solve the problem with "can't mount /sdcard (invalid argument)" from TWRP itself without ADB, I mean computer. Then I could
make some BAT file wich will handle connection with KF in the begining of booting and write update.zip to sdcard on the tablet, then I could
to flash it.
Please help! I can PAY for the real help by PayPal.

Thank you very much. I see that Soupkit is just what I needed. First I need to install Ubuntu, then will try to recover my KF wich I made two of them not working. I hope one will work. I thought I have no luck and only way to reball a flash from another board of KF wich I have as spare.

Dear Sir. So, I tried SoupKit. The same situation as with ADB in Windows. My KF can be seen just in the begining of the booting.
And this is not enaugh time to do something. Also I wanted to ask that man wich made SoupKit, but for now it is not allowed for me to pos there.

Thank you for the answer, I tried to post in your theme but it wasn't allowed.
The computer see my KF only in the begining of the booting 2-3 sec. I also tried your SoupKit in the Ubuntu, the same problem,
I just can flash bootloader, recovery and that's all.

Okay, boot into Ubuntu, let the device boot up normally and enter the following in the terminal...
Code:
lsusb
Let me know what the output is

I'm sorry, but I can't do this right now. Notebook on wich I installed Ubuntu I left on the work and tablet also. Tomorrow I will try to do so. I will explain what happened. First I had a problem with picture on the screen, I hardly could see what is on the screen. I thought it was the software problem and try in the recovery to solve the problem. But as I couldn't see what I do, I done something what bricked my KF. The problem with picture was solved by reballing the LVDS controller. And now I have a tablet wich cannot mount system, data, sdcard what I saw in log of TWRP. And also tablet can't be seen now by computer as it was and I cannot recover tablet by ADB. I also asked before if is it possible to do something in TWRP in terminal that to solve the problem with mount of partitions.

First we need to see if Linux is detecting your device when plugged into USB, hence the 'lsusb' command. We need to get the communication problem resolved before you can fix your mounting issues. As far as using TWRP's command line to fix the partitions, not likely. I've tried it before and it didn't work out.
It's possible, for whatever reason, your device is reporting a different product ID than what is configured in the udev rules, but we probably won't know for sure until we have access to 'lsusb'.

Good time of the day. As I thought computer do not see the device.
But now I can remain in fastboot mode by the comman "fastboot getvar product". And SoupKit see the device in fastboot. Is it possible somehow to transfer the firmware file to the KF?

If SoupKit sees the device in fastboot as you say, use it to install recovery and boot into it

By the help of your instructions from the another post about mounting of SYSTEM DATA CACHE and SDCARD,
now all partition can be mounted only SDCARD won't. But computer as it was before do not see device in normal mode,
just in fastboot. All work concirning mounting SYSTEM DATA CACHE was made from the terminal of TWRP.

In the list there is no the device. Only standart wich belongs for notebook hardware. If I could mount sdcard then I could flash update.zip from fastboot, but I can't.

Your mounting issues shouldn't have anything to do with whether or not Linux will detect your device. Are you using a LiveUSB, VM, or full Linux boot?
