I attempted to root my kindle fire and halfway through the rooting processes somehow the Kindle Fire got disconnected. I am now stuck at the splash screen that displays the white and orange Kindle Fire logo and it will not get past this screen. Nothing else happens its just the static logo. I went online and ordered a fast boot cable and attempted to fix it that way but it still will not work and remains on the static splash screen. The computer does not even seem to recognize that it's plugged in nor is it listed in the device manager. I have scoured countless forums trying to find a solution to unbrick my Kindle Fire. Any suggestions on how to get it back and working? I've even searched this forum countless times and cannot find anything that will work! Please help!

Yes, it was using the Kindle Fire Utility. Any way just to reinstall 6.3 and have it back to unrooted normalness?
If you broke the bootoader it just will not be that simple you will need firekit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038 .

The odd thing is that my desktop PC does not detect the kindle device via USB, but my laptop does. Any suggestions? Even if I plug it into my laptop it doesn't get past the Kindle Fire logo (white and orange) screen.

I tried the instructions and tried every single option that it gave me and the device is never detected. Any way to install drivers for the Kindle Fire on Ubuntu?

As long as your laptop can detect..you are save... do the following and try:
1. Reboot your kindle and insert usb cable.
2. Start KFU on your PC
3. Once the Kindle Fire logo appear, at your laptop KFU, quickly hit "1" for Boot Menu, and then hit "1" again for Normal Boot.
Let me know if it works...

I faced the same issue and I precisely had done what ataraxist has suggested.
On your laptop, you might also need to install the drivers which come along with KFU.
That is precisely what works unless something is broken.
Thanks to all that replied! I will be trying this tonight and will let you know if I am able to get it to work! Thanks again!

Try it again, only this time when you get "waiting for device", hold the power button until it shuts off and start it up again. You may have to repeat the process until you have a custom bootloader installed.

Tried it for almost half an hour with it sitting and trying to reboot, no such luck. My laptop is running Windows 8, and it makes the "usb plugged in connection" sound but then it won't let me install the driver for it. I have the driver installed on my Windows 7 desktop, but the KF is not recognized as being plugged in by my desktop.

Yeah, Windows 8 won't work. Boot a Linux LiveUSB and run SoupKit to eliminate Windows driver issues altogether.
FIXED!
Thanks to all that replied! The Soupkit worked! Loaded Ubuntu 12.10 onto a flashdrive, downloaded Soupkit ran it, it took a few reboots but then it finally ran TWRP and I was able to wipe and install the 6.3.1 upload and all is working now! Thanks a ton once again!

Hi,
I go through several related thread but seem not solve my problem, hope someone can help me.
Few days before my wife said the Kindle Fire cannot used. As I'm in business trip so I cannot tell her how to do. When I back home the Kindle Fire stuck at the yellow "fire" triangle boot screen and the power button is green for 2 second and then turn to orange after I long press the power buttom for ~ 10 second. This KF was rooted before using KFU 0.9.5. In Device Manager the computer even cannot detect the KF when I use USB cable connected the KF. I try to use KFU to install drivers but cannot. I try to use KFU "Bootmode Menu" with "normal", Fastboot" and "Recovery" but no luck.
I saw some other thread that is related to the recent update push to the KF and can resolve ny reflash the update, but even my computer not detect the KF, I don't know how to restore it. Pls help, thanks.
See if you can access recovery and mount your sdcard.

Yes I install the recovery, however, I follw the instruction to press the power button again when the triangle fire screen on, but no response.
What is the power buttom turn orange means? When I complete turn off the KF and turn it on again, the power button is green for 2 second, then change to orange and without any response. I read some other thread, some one said is may be no power, but I use the chager for more than 12 hrs, the power button still orange when the power cable still on. Any advice?
Typically, when you press and hold the power button at startup until it turns orange, the device will boot into recovery.
If that doesn't work, you need to reinstall recovery. In order to do that, you need your computer to recognize your device. In order for your computer to recognize your device, you need working drivers.
You need to get the Kindle Fire Utility because it has the necessary Kindle Fire drivers. In the meantime, take a look at this to get an idea of how to fix them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747671&postcount=2

Hi,
Yes I already using the KFU 0.9.5. I try to use the "install_drivers.bat" program but cannot. I already check the system can install "unsigned" driver. I still have no idea. Everytime I connected the KF to the computer, in device manager it shown "? USB devices" for the 1st 2 second while the power button still green, once the KF power button turn orange, the "? USB device" even disappear. Any other idea how to install the drivers?
How about the color of the power button? Why it turn orange? Is orange means recovery mode?

Have you installed any ROMs/recoveries? I had to modify some parts of the driver after flashing AOKP Milestone 5 onto my Kindle Fire.
Check Device Manager, find the Kindle (it should have an icon with a yellow warning sign), double click on it, click on "details" and select "Hardware Ids". Post the IDs here if possible.
If it doesn't appear at all, try another USB port or cable.

Just a few more questions. You answering this would help us tremendously in finding and solving this problem.
1. Have you installed TWRP? If yes, which version?
2. Have you flashed a custom ROM? If yes, what ROM and which version?
3. Are you sure that the Kindle does not appear in the device manager after the LED turns orange? If yes, unplug the Kindle and plug it back into the computer, and see if it appears. Refresh device manager.
4. Do you have another computer running Windows Vista/7?

Instead of using KFU to install the drivers, try installing them manually. You'll have to make sure they're configured properly.

3. Yes, I'm sure the KF is not shown up in device manager. the yellow warning "?" was shown up 2 seconds while the power still green. Once it turn orange, even this warning yellow "?" gone in device manager. I try to serach in all devices even under USB, cannot find. I unplug and plug agian but without any different.
4. Yes, I still have anotehr laptop using Vista, should I need to install thre SDK manager first or just use the KFU?
Anyway thanks.

I've attempted to root my kindle fire with the kindle fire utility and it wasn't 100% successful.
Im stuck on the kindle fire screen where it's booting up and it's on an endless cycle whether
plugged into the computer, or charging through the outlet. It's also completely unrecognized
when I do plug it into my laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated to unbrick it.
Important: When the battery wasn't dead it just stayed at the kindle fire and recognized.
But using Kindle Fire Utility and a few other unbricking programs could not find the device.
uh yeah a usb drive, pedrive universal usb creator and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038
I had a similar experience today rooting my friends kindle fire... The kf utility kept giving me a error, something about removing a root check. And it just kept booting into recovery so on boot up where twrp gives you the 3 options... Normal boot, recovery, or change bootmode I just selected change bootmode and it booted right on up and worked fine...root is good and alls was well every since... Not saying this will solve your problem but just figured I'd share incase... Goodluck!

Here is what I did to fix mine
Hello,
First things first, did you have ADB installed correctly?
I had the same issue that you are having now and I was freaking out.
I was sure my kindle was bricked and my wife was going to be pizzed at me.
After about 2 hours of searching the forums, I found out that getting stuck at the kindle logo screen is pretty common.
When you are stuck at this screen you are stuck in "fast boot"
Here is what I did to fix mine.
Mine was having the exact same issue as yours.
I could not get my PC to recognize my kindle at all and I was stuck at the logo screen.
1. Unplug kindle from PC
2. Hold down power button for 30 seconds until it powers off
3. Plug kindle into PC and power it on
4. More than likely PC will still not recognize it
5. Open Kindle Fire Utility program and choose Option 1 for boot menu
6. Then press 1 again to tell kindle to boot normally and press enter
7. The KFU should say something like "kindle is being told to boot normally"
8. Once kindle reboots, you should be good to go
9. PC should recognize kindle now
I would say once this is done, uninstall your drivers for kindle and reboot your PC
Once PC is back up, reinstall the ADB drivers and try KFU again.
As a side note, ADB would not work on my PC which is running XP
I was able to use KFU on my wife's PC which is running windows 7 and I know have root access.
I am currently running JandyCane on my kindle
All I am left with is "Waiting for device" in kindle fire utility..

Can you uninstall the drivers for it and then reinstall the drivers for it?

Heres where i got from following a video tutorial, I installed the KFU drivers, and then ran the utility, and it stopped at this area "fastboot uses a different device thn ADB you should check your device manager for kindle, amazon." Above that is saying that they are unable to locate my kindle fire. The Kindle itself is stuck at the Kindle fire logo, with no animation to it, and i've tried just about everything to get it back to normal, but until the computer will recognize my kindle again. I can do nothing. Let me know if you have a solution for me, thanks.

If you have drivers installed corectly then you could try turning kf off. Go to kfu then bootmode then 4000(normal) It should say waiting for device. then plug kf in while it is off and let it boot from connecting it. If it works then it should boot up.

ok first here is my problem
I have a Kindle fire that is stuck at the boot logo for cm10 from what ive found out due to not clearing the cache prior to rebooting
also with KFU running and the KF hooked up it reads adb status online and boot status unknown. when hooked up through the regular usb cable it goes through to the cm10 boot logo and is recognized by the computer and kfu
when hooked up trhough the factory cable its neither recognized by my computer or KFU and only stays at the kidlefire orange and white logo.
NOW how i got here
little sister got the KF and of course wanted more out of it. rooted and installed twrp and proceeded to flash roms through twrp SHE DIDNT INSTALL FFF. she said she got it stuck first on the AOSP? boot logo also what we later found out from not clearing the cache. then was able to get in through KFU to reboot back up to recovery and flash back to factory setting but still with twrp installed. well then went on to flash cm10 again without clearing the cache AFTER flashing the final gapps before rebooting and got it stuck yet again at the boot logo.
so with her being out of town i wanted to fix it for her so i got a factory cable and what not but wanted to try first through kfu so i hook it up and its recognized and what not well when i go to push 1 for bootmodes i accidently hit 4 i think and starting installing twrp AGAIN while it was STUCK at the cm10 boot logo. and that was the last thing that got me stuck to where the boot status isnt noticed
WHAT IVE TRIED. everything
kfu doesnt find the file for bootmodes now so i tried command prompts and thats saying device offline
so i got a factory cable and that makes it to where the computer AND kfu dont recognize it at all???
i also get with the regualr usb cable MTP USB device FAILED with the litt;le yellow caution triangle under Portable Devices but
shows it under Android Phone as Android Composite ADB interface???
but as stated with the factory cable it IMMEDIATELY says USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED
with regular power it boots and gets stuck at the cm10 logo screen
with factory cable it only goes and stops at the orange and white kindle fire logo
i hope ive provided everything i can and hope someone can help out. thanks guys and its been some great reading on this site

Best way to get things working here is to run Kindle fire utility, run the "intall FireFireFire" option, it will say waiting on device, with your kindle off, attach the Factory cable to the kindle and then plug it into the PC. Hopefully this will get the bootloader installed, and while you're at it, go ahead and reinstall TWRP, as it shouldn't cause an issue. After you get the bootloader and TWRP installed, you can wipe caches and see if that helps.

hey thanks mthous
Ya i told her if she would have installed the FFF that alot of this would be a whole bunch easier.
As for installing the drivers ive done that and it IS being noticed by the computer as i stated with the reg. usb cable, In KFU its read as ADB Status ONLINE but bootmode status UNKNOWN. so its being recognized just i think since the Kindle is stuck in whatever bootmode that its not being read.
ONLY WHEN i plug it in with the Factory cable is it completely invisible to the computer and unrecognized IMMEDIATLEY after attached to the KF.
But im going to try that last piece of advice but i had tried something similar with going to the KFU and choosing option 1 then choosing i believe option 2 for recovery mode then hit enter and it said "waiting for device" BUT as usual it didnt even read that the device was connected with the Factory Cable. IS there a special different kind of driver for the FACTORY cable that i dont know about? MAYBE its not made right???? i bought it from a reputable ebay dealer. and it DOES alter the state of the KF by keeping it at the KF logo instead of going on through to the CM10 boopt logo.
i dont know.
ANYONE reading this with some idea please chime in cause its gotten to the point where i just turn the KF on to see it light up and watch the cm10 boot animation thinking of the day that i will one day be able to use it :crying::crying:
so im just going to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
seems my problem is the drivers and what not so hey why not right. SUCKS i had to search so many places to even know FULLY what pokey (the op) was talking about.
such as making a bootable usb. finding the diagram on how to short out the kindle and things of that but i fully feel confident that this will fix it. also ive included my links incase anyone else is having this problem and isnt as good at searching.

i have one other option you might wanna try.
using fastboot cable, get to the kindle logo and plug it in to your computer.
delete your .android folder located at c:\users\%your user%\.android
open kfu and it should say offline
run the option to install FFF that might do it.

Might be a stupid question to ask - but it seems like you already have firefirefire due to previous flashing and etc, have you tried pushing the power button repeatedly during the boot to change the bootmode?
This can be an easy way to get into recovery and do a complete wipe then reflash. I had an issue similar to this and it was because I forgot to do my wipes because I was focused on getting my device recognized by KFU.
sorry been lazy and i gotta search where all the links were now... but def going to do this today sometime.....oh ya links are in my post lol ok well i WILL get back to see if this "drastic way" works is it wierd that it doesnt seem that complicated to do it this way??? i feel like im missing something like it should be alot harder. idk ill find out and get back.

I have read to a nausea thread after thread about fixing my bricked Kindle, unfortunately I cannot post in the development section since I am a big NOOB. I'm sure most have heard this a million times, and have read about it a million times but have I still have not a clue how to go about it.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
So story is downloaded KFU, installed drivers via KFU, plugged in Kindle, started option 2(ROOT w/ SU), it chugged away snagged at install FFFing, so I thought okay let me unplug and re do it, but now it is stuck at KF logo white/orange which many of you say is in fastboot mode. I cannot get the computer to recognize when connected, usually you hear a audible tone when connecting via usb, but nothing. Have tried reinstalling drivers again but they show they have already been installed. People say unistall but I cannot find the device to uninstall the drivers!! I have tried the unbrick util, but KF does not show nor on KFU. Thus I think Soupkit would be the same if it cannot see that KF is connected.
Another q, is even if I get it unbricked and use KFU will it still hang at FFF again...is it just dependent on computer or something, I don't understand why it works for some and not for others(causing them to use linux instead of windows?)
Please help me
You can still reboot to normal mode. Load KFU, and press 1, and then enter, and then 1 and then enter. This should reboot the kindle EVEN if it says its offline in KFU.
If that doesnt work, turn off the kindle, and as soon as you turn it back on, press 1 enter 1 enter in KFU.
Both these methods worked for me... but my KFU still hangs every time it enters fastbootmode!

first of all lets get this straight. KFU did not (what you call bricking) brick it. you did by taking on the challenge.
second does device manager show up with anything when you plug it in?

Thanks for the replies guys, I tried the first solution of using KFU and option 1, however it just hangs and just says waiting for device/device not found. Goldflame you are correct, I did it myself, no one forced me LOL. The device does not show up when I plug it in. If I power down(hold power down for 15secs, and then plug it in the KF logo comes back up but remains nonresponsive.) Seems the computer doesn't know its connected so the two cannot communicate. I've installed drivers so don't know what the problem is, tried different usb ports as well. I am also using a non factory micro cable, IDK if that matters or not read other people ordering factory ones to help them.

ok well this is different from my case where it showed up as an unknown device in device manager. reboot your computer without the kindl plugged in and let me know if anything different happens when you plug in your kindle

I have no guarantee that it will work but try to delete your .android folder.
Its located in c:/users/your user name/.android
Then plug in your kindle, open kfu and choose option 2 even if it says device offline
