I attempted to install firefirefire on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 while installing it, it rebooted my Kindle twice now the kindle wont come on at all, does anyone have any recommendations on what I can do or do I need to just scrap it and buy a new one? Thanks for the help in advance.
This thread should be able to help you. Sounds like the process failed somewhere and it got corrupted, but that doesn't make it a brick. Also, did you have a full charge when you started?

Actually, installing FireFireFire in the Kindle Fire HD absolutely without question turns it into a brick.

Howdy everyone,
I was trying to install a new ROM on my kindle fire using TWRP but I must have goofed and deleted something because I bricked my kindle fire. My Kindle Fire is stuck on the kindle fire logo screen and it stays there without restarting. If I hold the power button the kindle fire will eventually shut down. When I plug in the kindle to my computer, the computer reads it and I can find it on my Device and Printers applet but I cannot open in My Computer. I’m running Windows 7 Home Premium. I've tried using the Kindle Fire Utility and the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility and nothing works.
If anybody can help me unbrick … please please please help me out. Also, if you can write it out, step-by-step that would help me out since I’m still new to rooting.
Thank you.

how is it that you cannot get back into recovery do a wipe and reflash or restore a backup?
I don't know what's going on with it. I don't know what other info to tell you all but if you guys ask questions I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. Thanks.

I share the same problem as you, unfortunately.
I've also tried the unbrick utility, however i can not get my windows premium to recognize the device as kindle. Tried to inistall the drivers. No avail on my end for any of the solutions provided.
Tried to figure out how to install drivers as ADB composite, not sure how that is done either.
Still searching out answers, hopefully someone can give us advice and send us in the right direction.
If i find a resolution, i will post here to assist you.

I followed the directions for rooting my KF 10.2.6 from Patel989's 1/30/2013 post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125628
It worked fine. Happy day!
Then I loaded TWRP using KFU and powered it off to see how TWRP worked.
It will not power on again.
I assume it's toast, true?
If so, where did I go wrong?
Still learning the hard way,
SJ

Why have you used KFU?
This post explains how to get TWRP installed on a Kindle Fire 2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36888389
This is from the 2nd to last page on the KFU post.
If it is a 10.x.x version, then you have a Kindle Fire 2nd generation. Do not attempt to use this utility. It will brick. Go to the KF2 forum.
Don't want to be harsh, but the reason people keep bricking their devices, is because they don't read enough before doing something. The creators of these tools could help the situation by adding a model check before the tool runs.

I'm a dumb noob and didn't do enough research, I suppose. I didn't realize it was a KF 2 until today when I asked about the device on the KF forum and was sent to this one. I thought a KF 2 would say it was version 2 somewhere, perhaps on the box, so I assumed it was a plain KF.
In any case, did KFU poison it?
And if so, is there a way to kick start it?
Thanks,

i bricked my kfhd and i havent unricked it yet
Well I've searched the forums and I can't find anything similar, which leads me to think I'm just missing something really obvious, but this is really frustrating me so I need help.
I'm trying to use the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6 to install TWRP and FireFireFire bootloader to my first-gen Kindle, so I can install Hashcode's Jelly Bean. I think I've got the normal drivers working as it shows up as ADB: online, although Boot mode: unknown is also reported. When enter "Install TWRP" it says it's putting the kindle into fastboot mode, but my Kindle seems to have other ideas. It just reboots normally and the utility is stuck on "waiting for device".
I've read one of your fastboot guides, which said that inserting the factory cable then inserting into a computer should activate fastboot mode. Well I tried that with what I think was the original cable, and it just booted normally.
I some small experience with rooting, but basically I'm a noob. I do have some Linux systems handy if they're required.
Any help would be appreciated!
Can't help much since i don't have a kf1..
But i CAN tell you that the ORIGINAL cable is not the same as a factory cable.

OK thank you, I didn't know that.
However I think even if I did get hold of one of these factory cables, it wouldn't help much as I need to get this program to work primarily...
any ideas what might be causing adb to be online but boot status unknown?
Personally, KFU v0.9.5 worked better for me.
Exactly the same result with that version, I'm afraid. :crying:
Are you using a USB 3.0 port? Maybe that's why. USB 3.0 is high speed, so maybe the connection got messed up...
How old is your computer?
Sent from a bird... No, a plane... Wait, It's a Kindle Fire!
I'm afraid that's not it... It's a 4 year old mid-range Win7 64 bit laptop. I did root my phone using this computer... I think I'll try using one of the XPs that I have on hand to see if that makes a difference.
Well I've tried on two XP computers and I can't even get the drivers to install.
Oops...
OK thanks for your input guys, you've been really helpful.
I feel really stupid now - my kindle is actually a kindle fire 2. That makes sense. For some reason I thought that a second-gen kindle fire was the kindle fire HD, and therefore mine was a kindle fire.
Sorry for wasting your time.

How'd u figure that out?
Well I saw everyone talking about software version 6, and I thought it strange that mine had software version 10. I then did some research and found that there were two kindle fires that look identical. Apparently one way to distinguish is by looking at the software version.
I recently rooted my Kindle Fire 1st generation to use Simple CM. I flashed it correctly and it worked fine, but to my surprise I recieved an iPad Mini as a gift. My parents asked for the Kindle and I said sure. Now, they wanted to go back to the original Amazon OS. So I downloaded a Kindle Fire stock zip to flash. I soon found out it was only an update... Now my Kindle successfully flashed it, I was setting it up, then it started to reboot, and it showed the launcher screen of Amazon, and then it gave me error pop-ups and it reboots after 30 seconds. I have been trying to get it to recognize on my computer but ADB and KFU aren't working the best. And now it says at 40% charge it will attempt to factory restore. (I will try soon). It repeats booting, then goes to the home screen, then it goes and shows errors and then does it again every 30 seconds. I am 13 years old and probably made a big mistake. I have read the threads on here and no solutions have worked. So I think it is bricked, and I have to give it to my parents by tonight and it has to have some sort of Amazon software or even CM. Is there anybody or anything that can help fix the Kindle Fire?
Thank you in advance, Jake.
You need to access fastboot to wipe data. You may need a factory cable.
In some cases, users have been fast enough to get into the settings and factory reset from there, so you may want to try that first.

Have you heard of anyone that tried that? I will definately try it being that you have 1000+ thanks on the meter.
EDIT: I attempted to factory reset but it still did the same thing..... How do I enter fastboot and detect the Kindle in 30 seconds?
I attempted to root my kindle fire with KFU and it hasn't powered on or charged since... Is it bricked or can it be repaired.... anyone?

Well, that depends...
Is your Kindle Fire a second generation Kindle Fire?

It's still a WIP, but that's the only hope you have of restoring your device.

It would be very helpful if you could explain how you got to this point in the first place.
If you haven't rooted it and all that yet, amazon will probably replace it if it's still under warranty. Looks like you still have the stock bootloader

^^This means you don't have access to the shell and you'll need to get a factory cable in order to get it fixed.
then where can i get a factory cable ?

Hello
Best thing would be to describe all the steps that you did to get to this point.
To begin, you need the right cable, then download the Kindle FIRE UTILITY and next get your PC to recognize the tablet.
Then the Utility will proceed once its shows the online status. Without the online status, you cannot proceed .
Hope this helps
