OK, I have ready many posts and guides an am completely lost. This is my 12 year old sons Kindle Fire that he decided to "root". I am fairly computer savvy but this thing has got me baffled. He used "superoneclick" and now it tries to boot and stops at the kindle fire boot screen and goes no further. Any help on pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. I do know this. The hard reset obviously does not work because I have tried that at least 100 times. My pc currently does not allow me to access it as a drive although it does show up. It sounds like a bootloader" problem? Again, please give me hand before I kill my son after telling him in advance not to do this.
Thanks
Forrest
Try and see if you can get KindleFireUtility to recognize your Kindle Fire

Veeman, thanks I will try that and report back.
do you have fastboot?
type
fastboot devices in terminal and see if it returns your kindle number.
you are stuck in fastbootmode.
kfu will sort it out for you.
some more info would be of help.
what operating system on pc?
has your son got fastboot installed in sdk/tools or sdk/platform tools?
what stage was he at in the rooting process?
don't worry, has far as i know there is only one hardbrick issue at the moment, and that has to do with one type of recovery and doing a wipe/restore.

I understand your concern, and I don't mean to be out of line and tell you how to be a parent but...
If you're really computer savvy, you know that on the way there, you fudged some settings that made the computer unstable or unbootable. You installed programs, printers, a different way and had it not quite work out because you didn't follow directions.
My point is this: A 12 year rooting his kindle shows a level of intellectual curiosity that I think should be commended and encouraged. Any electrician, programmer, repair guy, anyone who does this kind of stuff will tell you; they learned the most when they screwed up.
What I would do? Work together with him to fix it. Show him what and how you're doing it, how you're asking for help (and that that's okay) and where to find what he needs to fix it.
You're not hard bricked, at least its unlikely, you're likely just stuck in fastboot which is not a big deal at all.
Just take it with a grain of salt. I know to when a kid breaks something it's "There goes X dollars" But sometimes, you have to break some eggs.
Good luck though.
Well, you came to the right place for guidance! I'm sure a forum search for "stuck in fastboot" would lead you and your son in the right direction. Unless there is a better way I'm not aware of, you will need to get adb up and running on a PC (which is most of the work). Then you will be able to get the kf out of fastboot by issuing commands from your computer's terminal/command prompt
But....
I think you should let your son do it... Especially if he plans on keeping his fire rooted. "Rooting" allows users to make changes to critical system files... On one hand this is really cool because it will allow your son to load custom ROMs (operating systems) and take full advantage of the kf's hardware....But, it will also make it very easy to royally screw things up.
So, if that's something he's interested in he needs to learn how to troubleshoot and fix things himself. You definitely came to the right place though... xda is a very sweet resource.
Goodluck!

Update
Ok folks, thanks for all the input so far. We (my son and I) have worked on it and found KFU useful. We installed the latest update and it is now working. However, TWRP will not go away. We need to take this in for service so I need to reset everything. We have tried the wipe and install of the update several times it restarts with the blue kindle fire logo with the option for recovery. How do we get rid of this?

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
Tera Tike, thanks for the answer. I have tried that multiple times and the twrp blue kindle fire with boot options keeps coming back.

True, but I think it's a tad different when you spend a couple of hundred dollars on something and specifically asked the lad not to do this one thing.

Try letting it sit while it "bootloops."
Might sound strange but I've had this exact same thing happen recently after a fresh install, and it loaded up back to normal after a handful of loops.
sbeddoesdesign, you are right i was upset not about the act but that he done it after i told him not to, then he lied to me about doing it. Either way, I have calmed down about it now and he is helping and participating. We are learning a lot together and its good dad/son time.
anomalya, i tried that and let it sit for an hour and no change.
FIXED
Thanks to all who helped. We finally got it to work correctly. Everyone was a big help and we appreciate everything.
I am glad that you got it working, but I am posting this for anyone else that can't seem to read or do a simple search. If you have the KFU all you need to do is have it running and restart your KF while connected the computer, and send the normal boot cmd when it first connects for those few seconds, and you are good to go, but seeing how too many people are to stupid to understand this, I believe that everyone should stop responding to them!!! We see this too often and everyone gives them this long work around...

Are -any- such problems fixable with KFU? :silly:
Yeah, because 99% of the problems can be fixed by simply sending the command to start in normal boot you are offended and want to try and say I was saying something about you? If you are offended, then yu might be one of the people that can't seem to learn from the past!!!

Thread cleaned up and closed.
Ok, so here is my deal. I rooted and successfully installed Jelly Bean onto my Kindle Fire months ago. After about a month or so, there was an .android error that kept popping up whenever it booted to the home screen. Since I couldn't do anything with it, I decided to delete the ROM and set it back to factory, BUT when I deleted the ROM, I deleted ALL ROM's including the stock ROM. I also managed to delete all my backups. I can boot my Kindle into TWRP but that is all. I purchased a factory cord from skorpn and am able to put my KF into fastboot mode but KFU will not detect the Kindle unless it is in TWRP. The ADB status is always offline if I try running KFU when in fastboot mode. I have installed all drivers, over and over and when I mount the SD card to USB it shows up on my computer as "KINDLE" BUT, I have no folders in my kindle except for TWRP. There is no /sdcard folder or anything. I am stuck and completely frustrated and I don't know what else to do. PLEASE HELP!!

Oh good times. Your sdcard either lost it's formatting or part of its formatting or some other similar situation. This is probably caused from not correctly ejecting or unmounting the sdcard before trying to write to it...but that's merely speculation on my part.

[edit:] you can just skip ahead to printing the partition table and recreating & formatting the sdcard.

You need to download the Android sdk, then you can run adb from the command line.

I know this isn't helpful now. But the original problem (I am pretty sure) had to do with the drivers with the audio. You probably had the volume all the way down, which causes the error you were receiving. If you mute it, that is fine, just don't have the volume down all the way.

I asked for help, I didn't ask to be belittled. I already stated I am not the most technical person, but when I set my mind to something, I do the research and I figure it out on my own. The last time I did this, was months ago and I haven't touched it since. Since then all of my research was wiped out because of computer problems and my PC had to be reformatted and my data was lost so now I am trying to get all my research back and excuse me for asking such a stupid question. I am doing this with my OWN Kindle to learn how to do it and I am not hurting any one else or their stuff. How else is someone supposed to learn without trying it?
I will say thank you for your time to help "educate" someone so "inexperienced".

I put a lot of thought into how I should respond to this post, so bear with what I'm about to tell you.
My previous post was not intended to "belittle" you, rather, wake you up to the reality that you might not be ready to take on such an endeavor. This is not an iPhone and it isn't as simple as plugging it in and pressing a few buttons. For new users, there is a high degree of risk involved in certain aspects of modifying the Kindle Fire, especially when it comes to repartitioning...which is what you'll need to do to get your Kindle working again.
My harshness is NOT out of ego or feeling "holier than thou". It is not to make myself feel better or to make up for some low self esteem. Treating people with kid gloves around here tends to give them a false sense of security that quite often leads to them getting into very stressful situations. Besides, a little "tough love" is better than indifference any day.
I created a thread in the General forum a while back, titled "**WARNING** You will BRICK YOUR KINDLE if you don't READ THIS FIRST!!!". The purpose of that thread is to warn owners of newer 2nd generation Kindle Fires of the DISASTROUS consequences of trying to modify those devices in the same way the 1st generation devices are. One would think, with a title like that, there would be very few people to make that mistake. Of course one would be wrong, as there are at least two individuals a week that were not prepared to deal with the situation at hand and did not give it the appropriate amount of respect, therefore their Kindles are completely worthless. Needless to say, if something I say is construed as rude yet prevents mishaps like that...so be it...and I'll consider it worth the hurt feelings.
And I agree, in order to learn, sometimes you have to get your hands dirty. But there is a big difference between tweaking some system files contained within a single partition and actually modifying partitions. And yes, you do have to start somewhere, but if you don't know that commands go in the command prompt (and I'm saying this respectfully), this is not the place for you to start. Go back, read through the links I gave you, and get a better foundation to work from before trying to fix your Kindle Fire. Not doing so, would do you a great deal of injustice.
No hard feelings,
And I wish you the best of luck.
I am really green at all this hacking stuff and read the forums as much and often as i can. I have a suggestion which may help i know it would me>
When all you hard working hackers and i and many others appreciate all your hard work put up a tut or a procedure it would be nice if there was a place in the corner that listed what devices it will work on ex. kindle fire 7" 7"hd or 8.9hd also which build of the rom it will work on ex. 8.4.1 or 8.4.8
I know they are in separate forums but still really confusing. Or even a chart showing the different root programs that would be updated as things progress. Just a suggestion from a new guy trying to learn from you smart hard working guys and girls.

i think the dev section has somethign similar to that, i fyou goto the sub-forum for your device, look for a "all things kindle fire hd(insertmodelhere)"
Not sure if it's kept up to date as i don't ever use it except for reference for links. The flashing process is always going to be the same, so theres not much need to say if it works with x.4.8, only difference is, is that whenever theres not a current freedomboot image it will bootloop into recovery, so you would need to know to either put the rom on ahead of tiem before you install 2nd bootloader and twrp or you would have to push it. Actually i think they should just add that to the tutorials at then end, just add a notice (if your version of amazon os is newer than current freedomboot, put rom on sdcard ahead of time)
that would be very useful.
Hello. I've been doing research and just can't seem to find a way to clone my original fire sticks onto the other two. It seems most "cloning" or "back-up" applications out there are geared towards cloning or backing up Kodi only...and not the stick.
So, does anyone know if there's a way to clone a stick so that Kodi and everything else I've installed onto it will be on the other sticks when complete?
Thnx!

Mate, why are you bumping all these "cloning/backup" threads? One should be enough!
However, asking "how to" it's not enough, more details are required, like what do you want to backup, for what purpose and if you are rooted or not..
If you are rooted and have twrp, then you could use TWRP to backup boot, system, vendor and data.
Or you can use a terminal and" dd " method to backup most partitions (this is an advanced method and i only recommended it if you really know what you are doing).
Sorry ._.
My request is same as OP. Not sure if I am rooted or not but I followed the hardware mod for the 4k firestick mantis and I dont want to wait for the OTG plug to arrive.
Am on the twrp screen swipe to continue scree but I don't have keyboard mouse to attach right now.
How can I run commands from abd? I was installing stuff like for 4 hours I don't want to do it again. I want to copy THE ENTIRE firestick exactly how it is.
Thanks and sorry again...just wanted to reply to old threadz so they dont feel left out lol

looked promising but doesn't work on firestick. doesnt let me create the hotspot even in the rooted version , i guess it needs google services. really wished it worked. concept is great !
My firestick downloaded 5.2.7.4 and its broke my accessibility and adb commands. I looked on amazon to see latest versions for their devices and none of em are listed to have 5.2.7.4. Not sure if anyone else is having this problem or if they are rolling out another update and I just got unlucky and got some of the first roll outs of it. I also had ran some debloat commands and not sure if the stick just ran some updates after that. But it was after that it broke. But I have since factory reset and its still broke adb and accessibility. Just wanted to make people aware and see if anyone else has found a fix for this version or any info on a fix.
I having this problem too, cant set custom launcher.. anyone help us??
The 5-6 domains did not block this update either! This update made it through!
I also am wondering about this. Not even the app I used to prevent standby works anymore!
I have been looking all over for any info on the .4 update and no one seems to care as if this update doesn't exist. I have found no info on any existence of .4 except for a select few people sharing the same problem. this update has broke my adb as well as accessibility. Virus scanner wont work custom launcher will work if manually loaded. any app that requires any adb or accessibility are completely broke. sm commands come back as doesnt exists as will as i believe pm commands. only a select few non important commands will work. trying to give details in case it helps at all. but for now just letting developers do their thing and not trying to bother them to much. would love to help more but my 2nd gen tank cant be rooted. so i cant pull a backup or anything from it. not to mention if it was able to be rooted id be golden. Hopefully if someone figures out this whole .4 thing they will be kind enough to post something about it.

Adb works without any Problems.
dont try rooting. 5.2.7.4 wont flash twrp recovery and you are stuck in hacked bootloader.
EDIT: If you know what you are doing you can do the 2 flashes and recovery reboot from the fastboot-step.sh in Windows if you run into the above. It works, got magisk, am rooted.
Mine isnt rooted nor can it be. Its the model that was made in 2020. And I see they have updated the device to say it has 5.2.7.4 but my adb is still broke. I have tried to factory reset and my adb commands are still busted. sm command and pm commands come back as invalid or missing. Not sure whats going on. It doesnt make sense if yours works. Thank you for letting me know your adb is still functioning. I guess Im gonna have to mess with it more.

Try toggling unkown sources and debugging in settings? Maybe they got turned off?

Done all that. Unfortunately Im stuck. I dont what else to do with this thing. ADB will still connect but all the important commands come back as missing or invalid. such as sm commands and pm commands.
With 5.2.7.4 , you need root for this commands!!!
Thank you for clarifying this. I appreciate that. I unfortunately can't root mine due to manufacture date and them blocking the BL from what Ive read so I guess that stick is limited on its capabilities. But thank you for your time to reply to this. Hopefully this will clear it up for others as well.

That is a common fastboot bug, not related to the fireOS version or the xploit.
Latest ubuntu with a full fastboot install works (fixed), on arch linux (like the 4k fire ISO) it's fixed it too, but also a full reinstall with pacman is necessary.

So just to clarify, 5.2.7.4 OTA has taken custom launcher apart by blocking pm grant permissions in accessibility.
TechdoctorUK mentioned this too a couple of weeks back. It seems the devs at amazon have been all over him lately and have been quoting tutorials etc from his site.
I've been using the ftvlaunchx app wrote to system settings on a post Dec 2019 unrootable 2nd gen and thought I'd blocked 5.2.7.4 update but I came back in today and was fkin horrified it had updated to 5.2.7.4 (I nearly sh't myself) its still optimizing apps just now but I'm hoping, just hoping that due to the pm grant permission already being installed it maybe slip through the net. Wishful thinking I know.
Hurry up and arrive 4k firestick I NEED ROOT
Let me know what you find out with yours. I have been watching the forums to see if and when someone may find a work around. Till then I'll keep tinkering with my 4k version.

Hi noremy, i just made a new thread there on 5.2.7.4, the cure is ftvlaunchx wrote to system settings, install atv launcher pro and set that as default launcher in the ftvlaunchx app, should work with any android tv launcher too.
Big thanks to the developers @github
Edit #### i rebooted and now the home button is not working at all
Only sending me back to amazon screen.

Hi! Mine is a 2nd gen Firestick. After the 5.2.7.4 update, none of my apps are opening. It says "Amazon App Store is out of date. Please visit the Amazon website to install the latest version". When I click on the link, it says Appstore is installed & I am good to go. No matter what I do, same thing happens for each and every app. So I can't use any of the apps on my Firestick. Any suggestions on what this is? Thanks!
The only option I can think off would be to factory reset it. I know its a pain to put everything back on but not sure what else to try.
