I believe I hit the wrong choice in KFU... Kindle is frozen on "kindle fire" screen.

I believe I hit the wrong choice in KFU... Kindle is frozen on "kindle fire" screen.
Hello, Im new. I was trying to root my kindle and I hit option 2 in the KFU. It was the fastboot option. My kindle rebooted and just stayed on the "Kindle Fire" screen.
After this happened, the KF drivers on the PC stopped working correctly and I was left with the exclamation points beside the driver names in the device manager.
Ive uninstalled and reinstalled these at least ten times to no avail.
I keep getting an error 10 stating my device cant start.
I have tried this and that, and after about 12 hours of dead ends, I finally gave in and decided to post.
I am not a "technical term" master and I just don't know where to turn.
I am determined to get this thing working and getting the google app store installed.
I have tried every tip I have read and so far nothing.
I need a step by step tutor

I think Im just stuck in fastboot mode and the drivers are totally preventing KFU from communicating with my kindle fire, which is preventing me from changing it back.

[Q] Tried unrooting, now have constant restarts and acore crashes

So I unrooted my Kindle Fire and got back on the official 6.3.1. I have no TWRP or FFF anymore, but the Fire keeps crashing every 10-30 seconds. I have no idea what to do and, honestly, the device seems ****ed. Can't get into fastboot, can't get into recovery, can't do anything.
Acore crashes, calendar storage crashes, the system reboots, repeat forever. Any way to fix this? I can't get into fastboot mode, it says "failed to copy files\fbmode to /data/local/fbmode: permission denied" and then just reboots into regular mode.

Well it may take many attempts but you need to reach settings factory reset and reset it it`s a race some people win. Most often when I say this some some respond with " I cant do it it fc`s before I can". Then within a day or so it`s " I finally managed to beat it and its fixed". So anything you can do to shave time will help, try starting with the device completely powered down and race from there.

[Q] Root Problem Can't Recover

Hi,
Believe me I have searched, read and tried most of the other posts relating to this problem but can't find anything that has been successful in solving my issue so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction:
I succesfully rooted my Kindle Fire and installed Jelly Bean, all working no errors. I could boot into TWRP (blue Kindle Logo instead of Orange with boot options at the bottom) and had actually tried a couple of different versions, it all worked well. Then I decided to reinstall the Kindle 6.3.1 again but I did something wrong in TWRP - not sure what the procedure should have been but I didn't Wipe Cache or erase when I should have done.
So now the Kindle boots to 6.3.1 with the Orange logo again (so it seems unrooted now) and when I get to the main screen I have 2 force close messages 'The Application Calendar Storage (process com.android.providers.calendar) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again'.And the same for process Acore. I can only hit force close and then the kindle shows the orange logo and I can swipe to log in and the same process happens and repeats.
I can connect to the KF with the cable the device shows in Device Manager as Android Composite ADB Interface and I can see various folders on the KF.
So I've tried re-rooting but can't get anywhere. The KF utility runs and says ADB status online Boot status:4000. If I run 3 to install (or reinstall) TWRP Recovery I get the activating Fastboot message and then
failed to copy 'files\fbmode' to '/data/local/fbmode': Permission denied
Unable to chmod /data/local/fbmode: No such file or directory
/data/local/fbmode: not found
The kindle has been told to reboot in Fastboot Mode.
< waiting for device >
It goes no further.
I've tried a variety of different fixes from posts in this forum but nothing has been successful. If someone knows of a post where someone has succesfully solved a similar issue please point me to it, or if anyone can help or suggest howIi can get the KF either back to 6.3.1 or TWRP back or actually anything other than what I've got at present I'd be grateful.
I seem to have communication with the device so cable is working, device is working (sort of) so I can't beleive it's the end of the line for it.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
For the benefit of anyone else having this problem I solved it. I did a factory reset from within the device section of More+. You have to be quick and it may take an hour or so of clearing the Force Close messages and then trying to get to More - Device - Factory Reset as quick as you can before the loop goes round again, but I stuck with it and suddenly the thing rebooted and I was back in TWRP!!
Subsequently followed the correct procedure to return the KF to it's original state:
1.Connect USB cable to Kindle Fire.
2.Mount it as USB Mass Storage mode.
3.At PC, rename Kindle Fire Software Update bin file to update.zip.
4.Copy update.zip to Kindle Fire SDcard (root level).
5.Turn off USB Mass Storage mode.
6.Unplug USB cable.
7.Power off Kindle Fire.
8.Power on it.
9.Press power button until light turn orange.
10.TWRP 2.0 Recovery will be loaded then.
11.Select Wipe.
12.Select Cache then Wipe cache.
13.Select Dalvik Cache then Wipe dalvik-cache.
14.Select Factory Reset then Factory Reset.
15.Go back to Home.
16.Select Install this time.
17.Then select update.zip.
18.Select Flash after that.
19.After installed, select Reboot System.
20.That’s all.
I did enjoy the Android experience on the KF but really only want to use it as a browser and battery life was far worse on with Jelly Bean. Anyway I can always root it again sometime.

[Q] Your Kindle Fire has detected a problem

I have tried to refrain from asking but I have read many posts and am not really clear on my issue. Several weeks ago my wife was using the her kindle mainly just for books and laid it down to charge. The next morning she turned it on a the message "your kindle fire has detected a problem, please press the power button to restore your device to factory settings. Due to her books being on the amazon servers this was no big deal, pressed the button and it went through the motions and said it was sucessfully completed. Reboots and back to the same message, again and again and again. I come to this site read how to download KFU to help get me out of this loop. Installed the drivers per instructions opened ADB and saw were the kindle is in the device manager but shows as online boot status unknown. Uninstalled reinstalled to no avail. Took it to a local shop to see if the could get it to work. They were able to get TWRP loaded but could not get a clean install loaded, it always failed. I picked it up still had TWRP on it to try it myself. I was able to get the update.zip file where it needed to be, installed, failed, rebooted and now I am back where I started with the "your kindle has detected a problem". I tried to re-install TWRP but ADB continues to say it is online boot status uknown. I have rebooted the device serveral times as well as computer and noticed that for a moment it will reflect the online boot status 4000. If you have a cat like reflex you might be able to do something but I guess I am a little slow. I know it is not a driver issue as when it had TWRP on it it would reflect correctly and could communicate. So at this point I am a little lost, in fact for as much time as I have spent on this I probably could have bought a new one. Are there any instructions out there that I may be missing on how to deal with this or is it pretty much dead. If I could get it connected I do think it could be fixed.

[Q] Kindle Fire Bricked Bootloader. Help?

Ok, So I am extremely stupid. I installed TWRP, and I clicked on the botton which says "Delete /System", So after that, It seems that when booting up, It displays the Kindle Logo, and that is it. Literally. And when I tries to unbrick it, none of the tools recognize it. I tried FastBoot cables, no luck. And one time, I'm not sure how I did it, but I managed to make the tool(Forgot its name) to recognize it, but it never able to push back the new bootloader and system file back... Anyone can fix this for me? I'm willing to pay $10-20 for anybody that came up with a solution that works. Thanks.

I am sorry if this is not an appropriate response, but the thread looks similar to my problem. The user does not wish to ROOT the unit, only get it functioning! My son attempted to update his Fire2. Now it seems to have a Launcher problem. The unit boots to the swipe screen, but swiping gets the following:
"The application Launcher (process com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. <force close>"
I can't find any way to get past this. I can view the files from my PC via USB. Can I install a new launcher from this link?

A new response. From other posts, I made a "factory usb cable." The Swipe Screen changed, but the unit response did not. Still can't get past the Launcher problem. Anyone have a plan for getting past this issue?

I'm in the same predicament. My son was trying to re-flash a rom I had placed on the KF for him (after having a Google sign in error problem) and during wipe, he hit "system" not realizing it would wipe the entire thing. Now it's booting into the logo screen with orange "fire", then into the blue "fire" logo screen and staying there. He is having a FIT and I cannot seem to find a solution to the problem that does not require a fast boot cable (since it says it will be 2 weeks before it gets here). It's not a full hard brick since it still boots, but I get no option to boot into the recovery, since I am assuming that too is gone from the Kindle. I guess I just assumed it would be as easy to fix and my Android phone. Is there no option to return it to stock with the included USB?
