Hi, Im having a huge problem with my kindle fire, in an attempt to root my device, i seem to have made a mistake somewhere along the line (I actually just wanted to select one background, but i was lead to all sorts of videos on youtube showing rooting procedures and i had to have it rooted to do so, so alas i rooted). My device upon power up starts up, loads yellow triangle (firefirefire?) and goes to the "Kindle Fire" screen and stops, it cannot load any further . I have tried numerous fixes such as updating but the files cannot be copied and flashed to my device, because i cannot copy them to my device from my pc. the option to do so is just not there.
I appreciate any help I can get, do i need to finish / fix a rooting procedure or unroot or what? thanks in advance.
When you get the fff screen try holding down the power button till it turns orange that will hopefully put you into twrp from there you could do a few things but try selecting reboot see what happens . Could be that it would just send you to the back to the same screen
testing
when I go into twrp, i click reboot, brings me to screen with two options (im sure you all know this). When pressing option one, system, it closes out of twrp, loads fff, loads the "Kindle Fire" screen, and is froze...
I then powered off by holding the power button for 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi... all the way to 11 mississippi
Turned back on, fff loads, held pwr for twrp, hit reboot, chose option two, power off, and this did just as it said it would, powered off...
Sorry I sound retarded while writing this, im just trying to be thorough
P.S. i have toyed around with twrp, totally reset all data and caches, done just about everything...
Go here
...and download FFF1.4
Mount your sdcard in recovery and transfer the FFF1.4.zip from your computer. Install FFF1.4 in recovery (no wipe) and reboot.
As soon as you see the Blue kindle fire logo, hold the power button until you see options show up on the bottom. Use the power button to scroll through the options and select "Normal Boot"
that would work but...
Hard to explain my situation... anyway, when i plug in my kindle, it does not play auto play, no way to put files from computer to kindle. I have gone into my devices and cant seem to find a way to open and veiw and edit the files on my device.

You have to access TWRP and select mount > mount sdcard and mount to USB
Are you saying that you tried this and it doesn't work?
Ok so i just did what you said, loaded up twrp, went to mount sd mounted, its plugged into a working usb, and i still cannot access files from my computer i was just messing with kindle fire utility 0.9.5 i beleive, and i chose the option that said install latest version of fff, it gave me a "kindle fire" screen with the android robot above it, but when kfu gets to the end it says dont touch kindle if its frozen, but on the kindle it prompts to reboot, should i reboot, wait, or forget that and try to fix the file veiwing problem... ive tried reboot and i loose the android over the kindle fire screen which origionally replaced the yellow triangle.
EDIT: Just toyed around with KFU more and got the yellow triangle screen to be replaced by android robot over "kindle Fire" text, still no luck on installing that file

That might be that you had your kindle plugged in when you ran the bat file for the drivers and it wiped out your USB mass storage drivers in the process my suggestion is to restore your computer back to a time before you messed with the drivers and see if you can't get mass storage mounted via USB before.without your kindle plugged in run the driver install to regain adb then plug the kindle in you should have working adb and mass storage driver then

Hopefully I won't muddy up your situation but I did the same thing myself once on the driver thing that's why I believe you can't access SD on your kindle
---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------
And soupmagnet is right he's trying to get you out of fast boot with his suggestion the bootloader he pointed you to has that option. As long as you can access twrp and mass storage you have a lot of options on what to do next mess that up and you'll brick your kindle so take your time relax do it right. Also if you can still access twrp check your battery level there don't let it die you can still charge while in twrp I believe so if it gets low plug it in give it a rest and see if your battery level doesn't come up this will save you a bunch of heartache.

Reading this has given me a headache so let me make sure I understand it correctly.
You tried to mount your sdcard and you say it mounted but it didn't show up on your computer? With Windows Explorer open, while switching between mounting and unmounting the sdcard, nothing happens? Nothing is being added, like "F:\" or "D:\"?
Also, you said you used the KFU to install FFF and it worked because your boot screen has changed (which by the way isn't the latest version). With that, your drivers are obviously working properly.
So make sure you have FFF1.4 downloaded from HERE, rename it to fff.zip and place it in the "tools" folder of your KFU directory along with adb.exe.
Boot into TWRP
Shift+right click on the KFU "tools" folder and select "Run in Command..."
In the prompt that opens, enter the following command:
Code:
adb push fff.zip /sdcard
Reboot your device and back into recovery. The fff.zip should be there for you to flash. Don't wipe before installing.
If successful, your boot screen will be a blue Kindle Fire logo. Then read the FFF1.4 thread OP to learn how to change your bootmode to normal.

Good to know thought it was your drivers
I have had a Kindle Fire since they day they came out. I immediately disliked the stock Rom so I ran the kindle fire utility and installed Fire Fire Fire and TWRP, rooted it, and installed CM7 Rom which has been working great. Transferred files and programs between my PC and Kindle with no issue for months. Now with all the ICS roms available and working I decided to try and upgrade to one of those and thats when everything went wrong. Its in a bootloop and the triangle appears, fades, lights up again and immediately boots to TWRP. I have flashed the entire kindle using TWRP trying to get everything off of it. Upon plugging it into my PC BRIEFLY when the triangle logo pops up I get a "USB device not recognized" on my PC. I have tried using KFUtility to reinstall drivers, tried uninstalling n reinstalling drivers but the same thing happens. I cannot use TWRP to mount at all, nothing happens. Kindle Fire UTility keeps saying adb offline, CMD adb devices also results in 0 devices found. I have tried putting it on normal boot using both ADB and KFUtility and it says "wait for device" and nothing ever happens. Any idea? Not even sure if I have a rom installed on my kindle anymore but my PC wontread it so I cannot push another image to it. Got a plane trip on Saturday and would love to have this working to kill the bordom lol. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
It sounds like your bootmode is set to recovery. An easy way to fix this is download FFF1.4 to your computer and use the mount function in recovery to place it on your sdcard.
Flash it in recovery as you would a rom except don't wipe anything. When you reboot, hold the power button like you're trying to enter recovery and you'll be given the option to reset the bootmode.
Thank you so much for your advice but there in lies the problem. Inside the recovery console i choose to mount it and nothing happens. My PC will not let me access the kindle in anyway at all, either mounting the SD Card or via ADB/KFUtility.

Generally, the only thing that would prevent adb/kfu from communicating with the device is the drivers. Make sure they're installed properly. You may have to uninstall them (delete if applicable) and reinstall them.
Follow the instructions in this guide to install and verify your drivers.

K heres the latest (we r making progress!)
I got my device to be detected by my PC and used KFutility to change it to normal boot. Now instead of booting into recovery everytime it boots normally.... to a black screen (guessing my rom is shot or I deleted it while playing with it). The issue is the ONLY time my PC recognizes my kindle is for a .5 second period when i first turn my KF on and the yellow triangle appears. I can use this window to change it to normal bootmode, reinstall TeamWin, stuff like that, but i cannot mount it so I can transfer or adb so I can push. You can watch device manager and it'll pop up ADB android phone or whatever it should but poof, a second later gone.

Get your device drivers working so you can use adb. Follow the instructions in the post below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26144447
That is excellent advice and I wish it would work but I cannot pull up ADB once in TeamWin. Keeps saying no devices. As i said my PC detects it and ADB will detect it for .5 seconds on the orange triangle. Once the orange triangle disappears and it either boots to blackness or boots to TeamWin ADB stops recognizing my device. But I will play around with your suggestions once I get off work and let you know what i find out. Thanks again for everyones support.
Frozen screen during rooting
Hi,
I am new to the forum. I have a kF screen stuck (where it says 'kindle fire') while I was trying to root it. I tried hard reset, charging for half hour, calling AMAZON...nothing works. The screen goes off if I hold it for 20 seconds but when I put it back on same thing. I was trying to root it with 'fastboot (?). Is there anything at all I can do? Thanks.

Don't hijack the threads please. If you have a problem or question, post it in the Q&A section.
Alright so I used KFU to root my kindle to android market then I used TWRP to install CyanogenMod 7. Everything was fine tell I wanted to restore to stock. I downloaded the Kindle Fire 6.3 installed it then my kindle rebooted. After this happened, everytime it comes on dimly lit then goes to the brightest setting then goes back to dim brightness all while remaining on the standard kindle fire load screen. The letter animation stops shortly after it goes back to dim brightness. On my computer it no longer shows up under my computer but in device manager it is called a Amazon kindle under disk drives with 0 mb of space. On KFU I can get it to show up ADB online but status is Unkown. After I try to change boot mode (normal, fastboot, and recovery) or try and install any of it the kindle turns out comes back on for 4 to 6 seconds then shuts off comes back on and freezes. Also before changing boot mode any one I click it says is no longer on the device. I have also tryed KF unbrick with no help ether.
Does anyone know how to fix this pleas and think you.

One of two things has probably happened here. Either you did not use the factory reset to delete the /data partition prior to flashing the stock software or the system software is damaged or missing from the /system partition. If at all possible, you will have to try to put your KF into fastboot mode using adb. Unfortunately, the odds are against you and my guess is any "adb shell" command will fail. Temporary fastboot through the bootloader is also a non-starter because you have the stock bootloader installed. That leaves the factory cable or opening the back cover as your last two options. The details are spelled out here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668159
I suggest you get the factory cable, reflash TWRP, and try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, wipe the system partition as well, unmount all partitions and try flashing the stock software again.
Okay so I had TWRP and I was going to flash a different Rom. However I accidentally while not looking managed to wipe EVERYTHING, including my old Kindle OS (I reformatted it back to stock OS for some reason before I was going to flash another rom). I deleted everything, system, SD data, cache and delvec. Factory reset and whatever else was there, I didn't think it would do anything, there were no warnings. Now I believe my kindle is completely bricked for good and it makes me wanna cry
So far when I turn it on, it shows the original Kindle Fire screen and flashes to black quickly like it's rerunning the animation every 15 or so seconds. I'm afraid to keep it on and continue anything due to the battery last I saw was 30 person and the charging is already messing up on it.
If I could get it to connect to my computer I could reinstall TWRP and manae to flash it to whatever I want but when connecting it doesn't pick up and TWRP won't reconize it either. I've tried to use JDK or whatever it's called to ADB or something (you computer people get me!) and it gives me the error - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed. No such file or directory.
I'm not sure what I'm doing either, I've been watching a video on youtube and cannot get any farther in it due to this error.
Please, someone help me I'll worship you, I am completely lonesome without my Kindle
exec '/system/bin/sh' failed. No such file or directory
If you have FireFireFire installed (blue & white Kindle Fire logo) that error is not much of a problem. If it is not installed, however, you will need a factory cable.
Try to run Kindle Fire Utility 0.99 first and wait for KF reboot
ADB is also nightmare for me since my PC recently never recognizes my Fire in adb mode (always failed with KF tool .096 and 0.99). Therefore my TWRP version was stacked with 2.2.2.6 version for a long time, and the method to update it through the soft in Google Play store was also failed. However, I accidently find a good way to update TWRP to 2.6 versions by run KF tool and select Install TWRP. Then with the KF still connect to PC, I restart it and it take a seconds to install latest TWRP while my Fire still in boot status (blue Kindle Fire logo)

Okay! I ordered a cable off ebay and it just got here today, please tell me what to do I feel like you guys can help me unbrick it.
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.

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??
