First hi everybody !
I a french noob, so excuse my poor english and informatic vocabulary .
My kindle fire (bought in New York in decembre), and since few month i'm stock on the boot screen and reboot all the time (not on the yellow triangle, just on the kindle boot).
Indeed, after root by kindle step by step with cmd (on windows). After that, i wanted to install Google Market ...
However, i did a mistake when was necessary to chance the permissions settings and my kindle was stock.
One day (2 months ago), i find the solution in this forum and i be able to almost fix my problem with Kindle Fire Utility, i have been able to install TWRP but in the final step:fingers-crossed:, my kindle rebooted and was once again stock on the boot screen.
And now, there is an another problem : now my kindle is totally stock on the boot screen (no reboot) and when i plug on my pc, KFU write that the boot status is "unknown" and i can't root, or re-install TWRP or does anything on my Kindle... (and the "light" of the kindle is orange ...).:crying:
Someone can help me ? :fingers-crossed:I search on this forum and try everything since few months ...
I have Teamviewer if someone have the time to help a poor french noob :silly:
I'm awfully confused... stock on the boot screen? Do you mean you have the stock bootloader, or that the KF is stuck on the boot screen? Do you have FFF installed? If you are unsure, what does your boot screen look like?
Also, how is your KF reported in the device manager?
Excuse me Dasanko, I used the bad word. "Stuck on the boot screen" of course.
To answer your question, i did'nt install FFF (and i can't launch my Kindle in fastboot).
The logo on the boot screen is just "Kindle fire" in white and yellow.
And for the device manager it's write "Android Composite ADB Interface" (it's KFU driver)...
Ask me all question that you want
If you really don't have FFF installed, but TWRP is...
If you can ever get the ROM to boot, go with "adb reboot recovery" or "adb idme bootmode 5001".
If there's a chance you do have FFF installed (could be a yellow triangle, the words "kindle fire" with an android on them, or the words "kindle fire" with fire being coloured blue) - then see if your drivers are correctly installed and issue "fastboot getvar product", then plug the KF into the computer. From there you should be able to get things fixed.
So, just to be clear, what version of TWRP did you install? You said it was a few months ago, so there's a chance you could have installed 2.0, which did include an older FFF version with it (yellow triangle screen on startup).
If you can neither get back on the ROM or have any version of FFF installed, then your best course of action is to get a factory cable, which will force the KF into fastboot mode, from which you can work to fix the issues.
Be sure you double check the device manager while the KF's screen is stuck and plugged into the computer. It could be just getting stuck in fastboot mode.
Hello, sorry for my bad english.
Im a noob and have been looking and trying different things for days now and can't fix my KFHD8.9", I would greatly appreciate any help. Sorry if this have been asked, but ive tried everything and nothing seems to work or match the same problems.
I rooted my kindle fire hd 8.9" (8.4.6) and tried to install the 2nd bootloader + twrp (to eventually install CM10.2) using this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105), but stupidly, I didn't back up on step 2. I attempted to flash the bootloader using fireflash and, as long as I could make it I did everything that was needed. I rebooted and pushed the volume up while booting, and it went to the blue logo and then into fastboot screen and then stoped there.
My pc (Windows 8) didn't recognized the device while in the fastboot screen as a kindle but as a portable device called "jem-PVT-prod-04"
I rebooted my KFHD pressing power button, and when starting again, I saw the orange logo, then the blue logo and it just got stuck there.
So now I just can get to the fastboot screen (by pressing volume up while its booting) or get stuck in the blue kindle fire logo if i dont press anything.
I would like to add also that while on the fastboot screen , My PC wont communicate with my device. I have the Android SDK installed and could use ADB before this happened.
I have tried the commands -i 0x1949 getvar product and -i 0x1945 reboot as suggested on many posts, but both of them stays in "waiting for device" for ever.
Then i tried using Kindle Fire First Aide as suggested on other posts but after downloading everything it gave me an error about something not matching with my device and what i was trying to do.
In top of that, somewhere I got the impression that I just got stuck in the middle of the procedure and that I could still install TWRP or flash a rom,
So now I don't know if my device is bricked, or stuck in the middle of the procedure or what, but if anyone could help me get back to the stock firmware or to twrp or something other than this two screens (blue logo or fastboot screen) it would be spectacular
thanx in advance.
I'm having the same exact issue more or less, but I can't pass the orange Kindle logo. My computer will recognize the Kindle for about all of 2 seconds, but only as Jem_.... then disconnects so I can't enter fastboot or move forward at all. I'm hoping that someone can help with this.
You have to install the driver for the jem device with the drivers in my signature before fastboot commands will work. Try holding volume down instead of up, it should go into recovery instead of fastboot if I remember right.

Recd msg alert stunts513 to the error while using wallpaper fix 2.1
I am having a terrible time with this Kindle HD 2nd generation table I tried to root. I was following this guys post on You tube and got it rooted but something when wrong when I tried installing the 2nd bootloader and twrp. I ended up stuck with a blue kindle logo. I tried turning it on with the volume button pushed to the left and it went from orange to blue and then to the twrp recovery menu. That was a few days ago, Its been stuck in that mode ever since, there are no back up folders and I think was making the problem worse, as it seems I could do the adb push and now I cant, well at least i couldnt before running your wallpaper fix 2.1 I ran it once and it wouldnt take I dont remember the error, but my table was at the blue logo screen. I remembered reading about running something while you powered the device on because there was an few seconds of access to something, I cant remember so I tried that and unknown to me It appears from these notes i found that I suscessfully installed it - then tried again -then something about the backup??? I am going to cut and paste it here and not do a thing until I hear from you, as I dont want to mess it up. I didnt know the fix worked cause i was watching the command screen and not the side of the file where i have your tool on my desktop.
Here is everything from that run. in the attached file
OK so lemme get this straight, you are stuck in twrp without adb access? Also I will have to double check on my PC but when I download that file its not a PDF but a text file and its HTML with a 404 error message in it when I view it on my kindle.

Yes somehow I have twrp and I think when I first got into the bootloop I had adb access but in fumbling around trying to fix it I lost adb access.
If I turn the kindle off, and then push power and do nothing it powers up with the yellow logo and in 4 seconds that log turns blue and it stays that way until i turn it off. In this state checking device manager it shows the device as an android phone, Android ADB interface. If I unplug the device the device manager no longer shows it - If I power up the device and while the logo is still yellow push the volume button to the left it boots to twrp
I re did the notes in a new pdf file I hope you can access them now. I tried looking at them from my post on my pc and got that same access code error. I cant win on this thing tonight,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly

The tutorial at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105 tells you, in step 4, to place a custom ROM on the Kindle before you reboot into twrp. You then install that from from within twrp and then you get past the blue logo. If you didn't put the custom ROM on your kindle and adb isn't working then you need to install the abd drivers from stunts513's forum signature then do the twrp adb sideload.
Relevant sections from the tutorial:
Once you have the .zip files for the ROMs with GApps (Google apps, like Play Store), place them on the sdcard, and turn off the device. Turn it on, hold Volume-Up before the logo turns blue, and enter TWRP. Once there, immediately do two things: make a backup, and after that, wipes: system, factory reset, cache, and Dalvik cache. After these two things are done, go ahead and flash the .zip file, and wait for it to finish. After it finishes, go ahead and again, wipe cache and Dalvik cache, then reboot. After you rebooted, wait 5 minutes, then reboot again, and you're all done!

6. Wiped /sdcard, can't reboot from recovery: You thought you had the ROM file on the sdcard, but you didn't, and wiped everything, so without a ROM image, you can't boot into system.
Solution: Put the ROM file where your ADB binary is (usually inside platform-tools folder in Android SDK directory) and rename it rom.zip. On the device, boot into TWRP, select Advanced, then ADB Sideload. Connect device to PC. From here, run "adb" and hit Enter to check for your binary version, if it's anything lower than 1.0.3.0, you need to update the binaries by re-installing the latest Android SDK. Once the device is in sideloading mode and is connected to the PC, type "adb sideload rom.zip" and hit Enter. Now you'll find the ROM on the sdcard, flash, and you're done.

Yeah, I know there's a lot of information. It took me a long time and a lot of research before I attempted it as a noob myself. An important thing is to follow the tutorials word for word and skip nothing, and cross your fingers.
Got fastboot comunication between PC and KFHD

Thanx a lot for the quick response! :good: I was finally able to install your great drivers. I had to be quick as you said in some other posts, because the pc only detects it for a little while, when the logo it's still orange on the kindle, I think. After that, and while on fastboot screen, my device manager would detect a Jem-something device, but could not install any drivers on it. So I had to install the drivers really fast while in the orange logo, oh, and had to disable the drivers signature check on windows 8 also.
Now I can use fastboot commands to reboot the kindle, but I can still only get to the blue logo or the fastboot screen.
I guess this means I now can use the kindle first aide to go back to stock and try again for the TWRP and 2nd bootloader. I'll post if I can't make my kindle boot normal again later.
Do you know if this was my kindle being bricked or was it something else?
Thanks a lot again, I was very worried that i wasn't getting anywhere. .:laugh:
Stuck on blue logo!
Hi!
I'm having a similar problem... I recently got a second hand Kindle 2nd Generation already rooted with Cyanogenmod 10.1.3.otter2 on it. Google Play and some other apps where having issues, so I decided to downgrade. After testing a couple of different ROMs, I got stuck on the blue logo, an infinite booting screen. Funny enough, I think the mistake was to install a Fire first generation ROM into a 2nd generation. Anyway, long story short, I've tried everything, Kindle First Aide (won't help because it seems that all the options need me to be in the desktop of the tablet and I can't get there), SDK ADB will see the device but return a device offline... I'm running out of options and don't really know what to do!
Any ideas guys??

You need to push a ROM onto TWRP. You should still be able to access TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498 be glad you did not hard brick it.

I am having a similar issue like yours. Yesterday I tried downloading Jellybean onto my Kindle. I did all of the precautions, TWRP, KFU, etc.
And right as I thought I was done, boom, I get stuck in an infinite re boot. Every time it finally boots up it says android.process.phone for not even a full second and immediately reboots. I am not the smartest, but if someone could walk us through a way to restore our kindles or fix the problem. I would be most gracious! I am not sure what the ADB is as well. Is that what I am missing?

Well your problem is nowhere near the same as June's, but I'll go ahead and try to help your anyway. I've had this happen to me once or twice. My suggestion is to redownload your rom and gapps, and then try flagging them again. Hopefully that should work. There is an option in TWRP to mount your kindle on your computer.

So far.
Guys, sorry I might not have explained the issue in enough detail. Although the information is full of things that are helpful. It didn't quite help me.
Sorry about having to deal with a compete noob here...
---I'll list my issues to isolate confusion.---
-I cannot boot ADB, I click on it, a cmd window pops up and then immediately closes each time I proceed to open it. for a start, if someone could perhaps tell me what I am doing wrong, because I know I must not be doing what all of you pros are doing.
-Although I had TWRP installed on both my pc and kindle. Whenever I boot up my kindle, I do not get the blue and gray "Kindle Fire" logo before the Orange and White logo. So that for me was very frustrating.
-The Kindle Fire Utility is not detecting my device at all. Which is worrying me to death, the Kindle Fire Unbrick utlity is not working either which is killing me inside.
-For a detailed description of what my kindle fire does when I press the power button goes as so: I press the power button, the orange and white Kindle Fire logo pops up for a few seconds like normal, then it proceeds to boot or "Attenpt" to boot the Jellybean OS, after waiting 5 minutes, the OS lock screen pops up with "android.phone.com" or "phone.android.com" pops up, for a second, then it proceeds to fully rebooting the OS for another 5 minutes. It does it indefinitely.
So does this mean my kindle is officially done for? Bricked? Or is there still hope for me. This is really depressing, I spent most of my money on this, money is tight for me right now ant I use my kindle for school and research. It is a vital tool to me. I need all the help I can get.
Thanks for all of the help so far. You guys really know what you are doing, thanks!

Hey Phil. Doesn't look like you've posted anything else, so you probably won't see this. But oh well... Sorry your problem got left in the dust. I didn't mean for that to happen. You need to shift + right click in the folder with adb.exe and click "open command window here" and then you can do your things. As far as everything else: does your computer do anything when you plug your kindle into it?
I accidentally did this once (at least I think it's the same) and what I did was I went into ADB and side loaded a custom ROM I used CM
Hi! Yesterday I rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with no problems. The problems came after I installed TWRP before installing Cyanogenmod and GApps. Long story short, I got those on there eventually, and when I rebooted my Kindle, it showed the Cyanogenmod splashscreen/ animation, so I thought everything went well. After about, probably, 8 minutes it flashed the Android lock screen, but that's it. So I turned it off, then on again. Now, when I turn it on, first it shows the regular "Kindle Fire" logo with "Fire" being in orange, and then changing to blue, then it just loops showing the Cyanogenmod animation, then flashing the Android lock screen for a split second, then repeating that from the Cyanogenmod animation. I can't get into TWRP when I press the volume up key IMMEDIATELY after I turn the Kindle on. But, I can get it into Fastboot mode, except anytime I do a command, it'll either say "error: device not found", or something like, or it'll say "List of devices connected" followed by the serial number, and next to that "offline". If anyone could help me with this, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Or, is there a way to completely reset it? At this point, I honestly don't care if I end up with the Amazon OS again, I just want my Kindle back
Anything? I just want to be able to use my Kindle again... At this point I'd rather it have a full factory reset, and just start fresh, as if none of this happened, and leave it that way... :crying:

Are you taking care to include the "-i 0x1949" parameter in your fastboot commands? That's one of the things I would think is preventing the kindle from being recognized. Also, try downloading and installing the Kindle ADB drivers.

Thank you! I eventually got it fixed. Now it's just looping the regular "Kindle Fire" logo in orange :/ but I'm working on getting it back to normal.
I tried to upgrade my Kindle Fire HD with the cm13 builds, but due to some reason it went to a loop where in it starts and then "Kindle Fire" logo appears and then it going in a loop again and again.
Post that I bought a Fastboot cable from Amazon thinking it will give me a solution as described in few other threads.
I connected the fastboot cable , it went into fastboot mode and then nothing happens.
Then i tried to use kindle Unbrick utility 1.1 version and tried to recover my kindle.
But to my surprise what it does is something I am not able to get rid off.
Now when I tries to start my kindle ..."Kindle Fire" screen appears once then I can see the "Fastboot logo" for few seconds........And then it went to black screen again and i cannot see anything.
Please experts whom so ever can throw some light on it...please do so as I want to recover it back...
Thanks in advance.
