Hi I just attempted to root my Kindle Fire 2 (I think its a 2). The root worked I used this Guide. It worked and I had SU installed. I then proceeded to download ES File Explorer and double check for root which again worked. I proceeded to install Tweezermod to get twrp using the On KF2 method. However after installing the APK and running the app the kindle fire reset and booted in to a completely red screen. The computer is not picking it up. Is there anyway to fix this? ( I really hope there is as I was just doing this as a favor for a friend) Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you!
What color was the box you bought it in?

Friend got it as a gift no box just the tab and charger. It had a weird system version 7.3.0_userdebug_xxxxx

Not a kindle fire 2. I've seen a post somewhere that lists the software versions but can't remember where. But a kf2 software version is 10.x

That's what I was thinking but amazon lists that 6.x is the highest for kf 1, 10.2.6 for kf 2, 7.2.3 kf hd, and 8.1.4 kf hd 8.9.
I probably should have asked but I figured since the root for kf 2 worked it must be a kf2.
Aside from that though do you happen to know anyway to fix it?

No clue bro. Sorry! Solid red screen? Never heard of it..

For anyone else that runs into this issue. To fix without sending back (at least it worked for me when i got the red screen)
Process without fastboot cable (this assumes you were able to put the kindle in fastboot mode prior to red screen, you have all the ADB drivers installed, etc)
1. Connect red screen kindle powered up to PC (must have active internet connection)
2. Start KFFirstAide
3. Select Option 9 (Display Fastboot status)
4. Click Yes a couple of times
5. Should say <waiting for device>
6. Power cycle Kindle
7. Kindle Reboots in fastboot mode
8. Select Option for Full restore based on pervious kindle version (mine was option 7)
9. Kindle will go through a full restore
10. Once rebooted you should be able to regesiter your kindle and go from there

What do you mean by saying your KF has not FIREFIREFIRE?
Gửi từ Kindle Lửa của tôi qua Tapatalk 2
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

kindle fire utility 9.5
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?

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).

No never mind the previous post solved it I got the drivers right after I posted 2 days ago it is fixed and up and running now thank you for the trouble I forgot to post back :/
This is the 2nd Kindle Fire 6.3.1 I've rooted. The first one works like a dream thanks to everyone here at xda, you guys also helped me root and overclock my s3. My friend asked me to do his kindle and I'm having problems I searched through the forums to no avail. I already had the driver installed and checked my device manager on windows 7 and saw that everything was working . I opened up ADB 0.9.6 saw that I was online and rooted it, everything went fine. When I tried to boot into recovery nothing happens well almost. When the kindle fire logo is up it flickers and I think I'm seeing the recovery screen but it's only for a fraction of a second. I can't get the triangle to pop up. I also don't have the SU in my app drawer. I have tried everything I can think of. Any ideas?
Update to 1.4a firefirefire.
Reflash and see if that works.

If tried fff still no change. From what I've read it has something to do with the bootloader. What's even more strange is I grabbed my wife's fire and it rooted fine. I think it's an evil kindle lol

Are you sure that your friend's kindle is 6.3.1 and not 10.whatever?
Did you try the whole KFU process again?
And also, now the bootloader is the blue and white kindle fire logo and not the triangle, right?
I rooted my Kindle Fire 2 about a week ago and I was really enjoying it. Today I decided that I wanted to get cyanogen mod on my kindle. I went to a a forum page here on XDA which had a one click thing for TWRP. I downloaded it onto my kindle and started to install it. I allowed it with superuser, but then my screen went black and turned red. Now I'm kind of nervous because I've read that now I need to use a Factory/Fastboot cable to restore it. Is there any other way for me to restore my kindle? I can turn it off by holding the power button for 20 secs, but when I turn it back on the logo flashes for 2 secs and the red screen comes back.. Please help.. I'm kinda upset right now
No. You need a cable. Sorry you are upset but this is clearly stated in the CyanogenMod thread.

Ok, so if I purchase the cable, will that allow me to enter fastboot and fix the problem? Is fastboot somthing that is already on the device.. or is it something that I should of installed on it beforehand? Someone told me that all I need is the Factory Cable and I can work from there. Is that true?

I'm sorry, I know im asking dumb questions; honestly I'm new to this and I just need some help and I do appreciate the help you are providing. I have read the link you posted, but I have one more question. When I plug in the Factory Cable is fastboot something that is already on the device? I dont think I installed fastboot on my device (if it can even be installed) But I know for a fact that my KF2 is rooted. I know this is a dumb question, but the only way for me to find out is if I ask. Thanks.

It helps but you can use Kindle Fire FirstAid and a factory fastboot cord and restore to factory. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 You can make a fastboot cord or buy one for 10 bucks, up to you.
He did a good job describing everything.
If you want to try getting custom recovery again, root your Kindle Fire using Bin4ry's method. Use the new method (No Xperia stuff - You'll know when u use it). And use Kindle Fire First Aid and disable OTA updates. Download TweezerMod Installer (Google it) and follow instructions. You will be as amazed, excited, and happy as at first when you recovered your kindle.

Kindle fire 2 ,10.3.1
Hi guys, ive been reading on this forum for a few days now. Whilst i wait for a factory cable to try restore this kindle fire 2.
My brother tried to flash it and turn it into an android tablet. I was there when the rooting was done. And it was rooted using the Bin4ry Root and qemu root. And verified with a root checker pro apk. Which i had installed.
Now from here on out i was not there. He was trying to instal the cm10. First he ran the Automated Freedom-Boot and TWRP installer apk, from the device itself.
When it rebooted it displayed the kindle fire logo and then went straight to a red screen. Which is where he handed it to myself. Ive rooted and flashed a few phones, but the kindle is proper confusing me.
Anyhow. I ordered a factory cable. The cable came today. I hooked it up and tried to run Kindle fire first aid. And plug in the kindle. It shows a red light and a green flashing light and says fastboot. (Im asuming thats good)
However when i choose option 1 to restore the kindle. The highest option is 10.2.4 (i think, going by memory here). Not 10.3.1 which it is on. So i try that. It detects it in fast boot but says it cant reach or find directories.
Tried it restore from backup folder, again comes up with directory error. This thing is only 6 months old. Im not sure what else to try.
I was looking for kindle fire utility 2 to try but no luck finding the download link.
If anyone can help me id be greatly appreciative i have read the forums.
from what i understand the 2nd bootloader install did not go as plan and due to being a red screen it was not signed. And now a fastboot cable is required. Which i have.
Just not sure what to do now, ive tried restoring it. And it fails. I tried reading the forums. Searched for hours. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your patience and time

I was given this by a friend who tried rooting it and flashed a zip file instead of the bin file. Now it will not power on, however I am able to press power and volume button and windows will detect omap4770 in the device manager however it will disappear and then reappear over and over. I've tried to install the omap4770 driver but that doesn't seem to get it to stop disappearing and reappearing. My friend stated the usb short trick should fix it, I did order the factory cable from Amazon to get it into Fastboot mode. Is anyone able to assist me, or has had this problem before?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Its hard bricked, and fastboot cables don't work on 8.9" models, and the USB short trick is only for kindle fire 1's, ironically it basically makes the device show up how yours is already showing up, as a omap device, but unlike how we can use the omap device on the kf1, we can't on the newer models because the initial file we push has to be signed by amazon. If you can exchange it with amazon they might give you a free replacement, but since it was given to you I don't know. If amazon won't replace it there is a method in development for unbricking a hard bricked kf, it was initially meant for kf2, but should work on all kindles, but the person working on it needs a kindle fire 8.9 inch to try to make the fix for it, its kinda like a hardware mod, he's working on making a solderless version, anyways if amazon won't replace it he might be able to fix it and it would also possibly benefit the community in general.

Instructions:
Download
Install on your KF2
Open Tweezermod Installer
Press install
What about the device you installed, was it called jem, if so you should be able to get into fastboot by running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" with the kindle off and unplugged, then plugging it in after the command prompt says waiting for device. From there you can just reflash it.
