Ok so i rooted my kindle and flashed energy rom with twrp. They were both outdated. So i was about to update them but my battery ran out. So i let it charge and it kept showing the twrp logo and kept looping in other words it was in a recovery loop. I can't acces recovery or abd i think fastboot works but im not sure i tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428428 but it still doesnt work please help.:crying:
Try soupkit.
Forgive me if this sounds like an obvious question, but could you describe the "twrp" logo you are seeing?
"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."

See? There's no such thing as a stupid question.
Actually that is the FireFireFire splash screen. And I'm guessing that the "boot loop" you are experiencing is more like the FireFireFire splash screen flashing on and off?
Your device must to be able to boot so far before it can charge properly. It's kind of a screwed up situation but there is a way around it.
Every time you hold the power button to force the device to shut down, it performs a series of tasks before letting go. One of these I'm guessing is to enable charging over usb. The best way to do this is to plug the device in and immediately hold the power button until it shuts off, and stays off. Leave it alone for a while and it will charge properly.

omg ty couldnt find the awnser to this ty so much. ill let u know i it works
Not working. it reboots in 5 secs
Let it sit for a while (probably overnight) and try again. Unfortunately, short of replacing the battery, that is probably your best option.

Hi all,
Ran into something new and may be educational to all of you at my moronic expense.
System Config:
Rooted with twerp recovery 2.0 and i am pretty sure i am running kernel 3.0. I have the Kindle fire utility as well as the Kindle Unbrick Utility
What i did:
one of my biggest enjoyments with this community is the folks at CM, so after flashing a new CM9 rom, i believe i left the fire too long without charging her. Battery died completely.
My problem:
plug the fire into the wall: power button turns green, screen lights and yellow triangle comes on with the "press power button for recovery' phrase.. after 15 seconds (approx) power button changes to orange and the fire reboots. power button turns green, screen lights and yellow triangle comes on with the "press power button for recovery' phrase.. and the process continues over and over again.
plug the fire into USB: same thing
Tried to use KFU:
fire will not mount so obviously device will not connect.
stuck at <waiting on device>
Device will not even register on the desktop. so the driver fix that is running around as of late failed
tried to shell with ADB: fire will not mount so obviously making a connection will not work
tried KUU:<error: device not found> and <waiting on device> are the returning messages.
I believe this is beyond the soft brick realm however, if any of you super developers out there can assist, I will greatly appreciate it.
thanks in advance
sounds like a dead battery.

with that in mind, is there a way to charge the battery without having the KF power up or run through the loop it is currently in?

attach it to the stock charger and let it charge. or as its booting up get into recovery and charge from there.

Having the exact same issue and no one seems to help past this point. :/ If you find an answer would you mind shooting it my way too? I've been searching for days about this.
While it's plugged in, hold the power button until it shuts down completely and leave it alone for a while. If that doesn't work, your next step is a factory programming cable.
I flashed the new FFF through TWRP as stated in the title of this post, but I didn't read any of the instructions which is sadly why I'm here now x.x...When I turn the kindle on, whether it's connected to my PC or if its connected to a wall outlet, the screen never turns on, but the power button light goes bright green for a split second, then bright orange, then it turns into a very dim orange and thats it, will anyone please help me on this on what to do?
How recently did you do this? A new version was released yesterday that was supposed to prevent that from happening.

Like half an hour ago :\ and, I made some food and came back to find the gedeROM booting, and as soon as it booted, it said Powering Down because the battery was too dead, then the kindle restarted and I took the power cable out, and it said Charging please wait, but thats it, that shows up for like a split second then the screen goes black again
EDIT - Sorry for being so paranoid, I ran over to check how my tablet was doing and I pressed the power button, and its successfully booted at 4% battery. I guess the battery was just THAT dead
Sorry, I misunderstood your post. I thought you meant you flashed the .zip through fastboot instead of TWRP.
But yeah, that's normal.
Charge it hopefully you'll be good
I recently installed Alien Droid for kf2 on my kf2 and everything was going smoothly so I doubt it was that, but I woke up this morning to a kindle fire that wouldn't turn on at all, the screen doesn't flash or anything and it just stays blank. I've done the hard reset where you hold power button for 20 seconds and still nothing. The battery indicator light comes on when I plug it in and it will turn off when I do the hard rest. Could this have anything to do with maybe the battery dying overnight?
While it's plugged in to the computer (given time to boot normally), are you able to communicate with the device via adb?
Nope, I've also left it to charge for about six hours. Now when I try to press power button it flashes green but the screen does nothing

I would suggest checking to see if it can be detected by Linux (lsusb). If not, your last available option may be to try and usbboot. I can't imagine what would cause the device to act such a way, but guess it's still remotely possible that the bootloader or bootloader partition got corrupted.
Hopefully, you're not looking at a bad eMMC.
I have a suggestion that your kindle has a bsod (black screen of death) hold the power button for 20 sec. and then press it another 3 sec. hopfuly i am right and your kindle will turn on. have this bsods 1-2 times per day.
It absolutely sounds out of power.
I know when my kindle isn't charged the light blinks like that. Maybe if the above suggestions don't work.. Try another charger

I just realized you have a kf2 and not a kf1, so usbboot is obviously not an option for you. Disregard my previous statement.
You' already tried the hard shutdown and you say you've let it charge, but have you tried letting it charge while completely powered down?
Outside of that, I wish I had a better suggestion for you. It's definitely an odd situation.
I was using my Galaxy S2(SGH-T-989) normally today and it suddenly crashed when I opened my tether app. Now all it does is reboot constantly unless I remove its power source/battery. Sometimes the Samsung logo pops up but the screen just stays black and the phone constantly vibrates like its turning on. I tried to boot into both download mode and recovery mode withe every possible key combination and it does not work.
I also tried removing the battery and let it sit a while without power and then put the battery back in. As soon as i put the battery in it starts up in the loop again.
running Clockwork recovery mod and cyanogen
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I haven't tried that yet since I dont have access to a wall charger but I do have access to a usb cable and it does the same thing like the battery. I will try tonight.
Edit:
same thing with a wall charger. It just vibrates like it starts up and sometimes a samsung logo will appear but it then boots up again and again.
Wrong forum, belongs here. I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do.

Sounds like a sticky power button, do a search on this forum section for that and you will find a possible workaround for it.

this was it. had to do a few different things but it looks alive now! thank you so much :laugh::laugh:
I have a Google Galaxy Nexus and was using it last night (8/11)--it was a bit slow, as it has been for a few weeks, so I shut it down and hope restarting may help. When I started it back up, it was stuck on the "Google" word for about an hour and then I suppose lost power. I was not near a computer to plug it in.
When I got home, I plugged it into my pc to charge, then read online to hold down Power + Up + Down, which I did. I got to the Recover console with the "start" and little Android guy and the white arrows. However, no matter what I press (power, up, down) nothing happens. I cannot get past this screen. Also, my pc was trying to find drivers for it and couldn't. What should I do? And is there a way to preserve anything on the phone? I have not modified the phone in any way (rooted or whatnot).
I think you cannot move between options because the bootloader is locked. Can't say 100% that's the cause of it though.
Thank you for replying. If that is the case, how do I fix that?
And after it ran out of power, I charged it again and tried starting it normally and it started. So I have no idea what is going on. However Im now afraid to restart it in fear it will be stuck on the logo again. It still runs a bit slow.
So I guess I have 2 questions:
1) If I have to load it into recovery again and no buttons work, how do I fix that?
2) Since it did start again, but runs slow, what could be going on? Any tests I can run?
Thanks!
