[Q] Stock Help - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well my sister wanted to unroot her Kindle and went on a forum and messed it up. Now when you turn the Kindle on, you only see the white and orange kindle fire. I tried to reroot it with the KFU 0.9.6. When I try to permanent root it it goes through some actions and say <waiting for device>. Please Help!!!!

Start by getting a factory cable from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693 post #9 then return for help.

could you be more specific?

Sure when you flashed stock its caused the shell to go missing or corrupted it. So now you need a factory cable to force it into fastboot in order to install fff and twrp again so that you can do a full wipe (which you didn`t before and that`s why you have this problem) and flash another rom to get it running again. Specific enough?

Where would you get this cable

This post is one of the more confusing ones I've read in a while. omap4boot refers to a linux tool and it's not meant to be flashed onto the Kindle Fire, so I don't see what role KFU would play here.
You need to give more details about the problem if you want to get some help. What did you try to do? How did you do it? What is your Kindle Fire doing now?
Also, smirkis is absolutely correct. If you don't have a working bootloader, the factory cable is not going to be of much use here.
RE:

If you're talking about aboot.bin, there's no way to flash it right, because you're not supposed to be flashing it at all.
If you don't even get the boot logo appearing on the display, you're going to have to use pokey9000's Firekit and hope that it can flash a new bootloader for you. If it can't, that means you'll have to dismantle the Kindle Fire so you can short a connection on the board and get it in to usb boot mode.

What do you mean by saying your KF has not FIREFIREFIRE?

First of all, FIREFIREFIRE doesn't just magically install itself. What did you use to root the device? I'm sure whatever you used to root your device installed FIREFIREFIRE.
And your Kindle isn't bricked, it's just in the wrong bootmode.

the 4sec interval signals to fastboot mode! You got to enter necessary commands during to stay in fastboot mode and flash the custom recovery TWRP and than re-install update.zip(kindle update bin renamed). consider the link below for twrp and root manual install plus relevant commanline,those commands will help to flash and boot into twrp mode after installing it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24129239
P.s.remember to point to the directory containing the fastboot and adb command files in my case c:/program files (x86)/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/ ALSo, in future to factory reset the device, install the kindle update.zip (renamed kindle update bin file downloaded from amazon kindle site)
how do i enter the commands? with a program if so give me a link to get it plz

Remove and install your drivers for your kindle fire. Than install kindle fire utility found here in xda forums. Install and run the utility select option 1 and select normal 4000 boot mode. Plug in your kindle fire and turn it on. This worked for me. Booted right up just be patient it may take a few minutes.
what are the drivers and where do i find them and how do i reinstall them?

<shakes head in disappointment>
With all due respect, what on earth made you think it was a good idea to root the Kindle with such an obvious lack of computer literacy? Were you aware of the risks?
Your problem is simple to fix but it requires at least some basic working knowledge of a computer. Do yourself a huge favor and Google search "Kindle Fire USB drivers" to find out. And not to be hateful but I think it's highly unlikely that many people here would be willing to go through the arduous process of explaining how to install device drivers.
I would suggest doing some research on the matter and come back with a better foundation to work from.
Otherwise I think your best bet would be to revert back to stock and forget about rooting all together (requires research).

[Q] Bricked my kindle fire!!!! PLZ HELP...

My kindle fire is stuck at FIREFIREFIRE bootloader ( the screen which has a kindle fire logo and an android logo above it)....
My conditions are like this:
Kindle fire - ROOTED
ROM - Kindle Fire Stock Rom
TWRP - Installed
FIREFIREFIRE - Installed
And i could'nt find 'kindle fire' in my windows device manager when i plugged my kindle on my pc...
Help will be appreciated...
This is a must-read: [GUIDE] Kindle Fire For Beginners
Be sure to read the first 3 posts.
not finding ' kindle ' , or 'android device' on my windows 7 device manager...so how shud i get rid of it? has anybody experienced it?
Long press on the Fire power button does nothing - doesn't launch TWRP in recovery mode. Entering commands in a Command window from my laptop isn't getting through to my Fire. And, as I mention above, the Kindle Fire device is not available on my Device Manager
After reading the guide potestasx offered you, do you you understand why your device is stuck at the boot screen?
I think i've been stuck at boot loader due to lack of battery....
I fully charged it after that...
but its still stuck...
Cant find 'kindle' or "Kindle' on my Device manager...
So dont know whether i on Fastboot mode or Normal mode...
I assume that i m on fastboot mode...
i tried installing drivers from 'install_drivers' in 'kindle fire utiltity'...
but none changed...
Known Tricks
If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.
Please note: If your device can't be seen in fastboot mode, please make sure to install the drivers packaged with this, as it will show up afterwards. You can use the install_drivers.bat with the device plugged in for this.

Not quite. First of all, you're in the wrong bootmode. You just need to change it back to normal and you'll be just fine. The guide posted earlier has information on the different bootmodes, how they work, and eventually how to change them. From your description it should be pretty easy to fix.
You also need to pay attention to the second post of that thread as it will help you verify that your drivers are in order. The third post will give you the necessary tools to fix your problem and any others that may arise.
I will tell you this, after you've changed your bootmode it would be a good idea to reinstall TWRP and then use TWRP to install FFF1.4
Thanx a lot Thepooch...My kindle fire is working now....
thanx.... I m thinking of installing FIREFIREFIRE v.1.4...It has fixed charging mode and other..
It'll help if it happens further...
Thanx again
Your welcome be careful with it now
I thought it's working but it is doing the same thing again again... it is rebooting and sticking to the bootscreen again after using 5 mins.....Cant understand the problem behind it...what to do?

Are you able to boot to recovery? If so, you might try running a backup and then load a custom rom just to test normal boot. I've had bootmode issues twice with the stock rom (6.3 & 6.3.1).

Run fastboot 5001 (full command in the guide thread).
If it says waiting on device, hold the power button until it shuts off and then power it back on. That should alow you to get into recovery.

Yep, that'll do it. The stock roms were not built to update with root/recovery installed. I learned that the hard way, too.

Need more information; as in...
What OS are you using? How familiar are you with it?
What's your current level of experience?
What exactly did you do to "reset to factory settings"?
Have you flashed a ROM to your Kindle or leave it stock?
When you say "it goes to the twrp then goes to the orange kindle fire", are you saying that it boots up to the TeamWin blue curtain splash screen then goes back to the stock boot logo? Or is it something completely different?
Are you familiar with the difference between TWRP and FireFireFire?
Based on your description and depending on your current understanding of how the Kindle Fire works, your problem could be one (or more) any number of things.

Hi,
You download Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.6 and run it.
Then choose 1 then 1 ( normal mode). KF is live again.
If still live again, you try Kindle Unbrick
If still live again, can you try factory cable and run command
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
In TWRP, you can install rom stock kf ( download rom for KF from Amazon)
reseting bootmode sounds realistic but as you can see in his post above he says his kindle goes to recovery I suggest doing very little till you have fully explained your situation with better clarity as soupmagnet recommended in his response.
sorry guys
You guys are right, i should explain better and ill try to, I don't have much knowledge of the Kindle fire. OKay so, I have a kindle tht runs andriod software 6.3.1. I've recently rooted my kindle using 0.9.6 utility. I've upgraded my kindle to go launcher ex. I wanted to reset my kindle to how i bought it at the beginging. So i went to device menu and put it to factory resent, which didnt reset everything. Then i turned it off and tried going to twrp to see if i can find a reset to normal button. There wasn't any, and after twrp when it goes to the orange kindle logo, it just stays there and doesnt do anything. The kindle fire logo isnt lighting up or changing at all. So i need some help on what to do, thanks hope this information is better
If you just want a factory Reset then just flash the Kindle Fire Stock ROM.
First go into TWRP.
Just to be safe go to wipe and wipe cache, dalvik's cache, and then do a factory reset. Then put the Kindle Fire Stock ROM zip file on your kindle fire. To do this go into TWRP and select Mount. Now you can acess your sd card so put it on there. Now go to install and you should see the .zip file. Install it and you have a brand new Stock ROM(basically a factory reset).

Thanks for the help that you gave me, I tried it but it just won't work, when i plug in my kindle into the computer it doesnt show up, thats one of the main problems too. Thanks anyways tho.
So you couldn't do it because it wont detect your device? Did you try going to TWRP and pressing mount? If that doesn't work, then I'm not really sure what you can do. It should detect it. Try a hard reset and mount again. Sorry that I cant really help you right now
Could you maybe give anymore information? Like what it says when you plug it into your computer.

[Q] Kindle Fire 2 completely bricked after flashing wrong bootloader.

Hi. So the other day I installed TWRP on my Kindle Fire successfully. The KF was at 10.2.6, I'm not sure if that means it's a Kindle Fire 2 or not. Anyways, when I went to flash FFF, I stupidly flashed the .zip as a bootloader, thus making my Kindle Fire completely unusable. When I press the power button, nothing at all happens. Nothing I do will make the screen turn on or the power button to flash in any way. I've tried using Firekit with usbboot and the shorting trick, but that hasn't worked for me. (I just installed stock Ubuntu to a flash drive with the fk file on root, I'm fairly certain that's all that needed to be done?)
Anyways, my Kindle is unresponsove, and the usbboot trick has yet to work for me. I really want to save this guy. I've heard the KF cannot be completely bricked through software/flashing. I hope it's true! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
if that is your software version then yes you have kindle fire 2, i'd wait for someone with more experience on here to post, but it sounds to me like you are going to need a factory cable

Thanks fro replying. I'm pretty sure a factory cable only puts it into fastboot if you have a working bootloader. I don't, so I don't think it would work.
I remember an instance where a friend of mine had a broken bootloader, and we used a factory cable to restore it, this was on the kindle fire. we had to first reflash the bootloader. I hope this is possible here.

I think you need a Factory cable to recover.
If you connect the Kindle to the PC and try adb devices in a terminal window, what do you see?
From the software version, you have KF2, as such you need to use the tools and ROMs from the KF2 threads. You could try to use the one click freedom boot and TWRP installer, to see if you can get that on.
From there you would probably have to push one of the 10.1 ROMs on, or the 10.2.6 recovery image, and then start again.
This seems to be happening a lot, and could be avoided if people read a bit more before using the wrong tools.

Howdy. I just fashioned a factory cable, just jumping +5V to pin 4, right? It seems to be doing absolutely nothing. No lights or anything are turning on. The freedom boot just spits out "error: device not found" and hangs on "Pushing Stack". Again, I was under the impression that the factory cable only made it boot in fastboot if you already have a working bootloader. I'll try loading into Ubuntu and see what it says in terminal. Thanks
EDIT: So, when I type adb devices into terminal, I get:
The program 'adb' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'
Could this have been my problem to begin with?
EDIT 2: Well, I installed ADB. There are no devices found when I enter that command, and the shorting trick with still doesn't work. Ugh.

Leave your Kindle plugged in for an hour using the normal cable, as it may be totally flat.
The attached diagram shows what pins need joining. If you can, make sure none of the other pins are shorting.
Hold the power button for 20 seconds, plug in your fastboot cable, power on the Kindle.
You should see some traffic lights on the screen.
If you can get fastboot enabled, you should be able to push the correct partitions back on using the partitions from the factory restore image, your backup files or from the recovery thread. Hope you get it running.

I tried the fastboot cable out on a working Kindle Fire, and it worked correctly, so I did wire it right. I did as you said, holding the power button down and then plugging in the cable, and nothing happens still on the KF2. I have access to the insides, should I unplug the battery? It should be around 85% charged. Thanks again.
Edit: BIG NEWS~ Not really. When I plug the Kindle Fire with the fastboot cable into Windows, it appears under Device Manager as "Unknown Device" with a yellow triangle, but nothing shows up on the Kindle, no lights or anything. Hmph.

In my case, I did by accident because it wasn't clear to me which KF generation I had (I've bricked mine just after christmas). These forums were not really clear either, I had a Kindle Fire so I just looked for a KF guide. After I bricked it I found out my device was a second generation Kindle Fire.

Nothing whatsoever.
I can't really send it back to Amazon, because of two reasons:
1) I already opened up the back
2) It was gifted to me from the US, and there is no Dutch Amazon, so I'd have to send the device back to the person who gifted to me, that person has to mail it to Amazon from there, and the replacement device has to come back the same way (via that person). That's not a situation I'd like to put that person in.

I am sure they can figure it out. Can you boot into TWRP?
If so, you can still recover...

Nothing whatsoever.
I can't really send it back to Amazon, because of two reasons:
1) I already opened up the back
2) It was gifted to me from the US, and there is no Dutch Amazon, so I'd have to send the device back to the person who gifted to me, that person has to mail it to Amazon from there, and the replacement device has to come back the same way (via that person). That's not a situation I'd like to put that person in.
