Hi,
currently I am stuck at the non flashing "kindlefire" bootlogo.
I cant access TWRP anymore and my computer also does not recognize the kindle fire.. what options do I have to get a bootable kindle fire again?
What I have done in the last 4 hours to end up in that state:
follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105077
IMPORTANT: WHEN COMING FROM STOCK AMAZON OS
-Make sure you wipe everything while in TWRP before you flash anything!

I did like statet and ended up without OS because I wiped everything like statet.
Then, after booting into fastboot I tried that tool:

It said that I recovered my kindle to stick firmware but In fact I am stuck now with the bootscreen.
Can anyone help me please?
after following this thread
Do you have a KF1 or KF2?
As soup said, are you sure you have a Kindle Fire 2?
Did you buy it new, and did it come in a brown or black box?
You might be OK to flash TWRP again, then use ADB push command to get a 10.1 ROM onto your Kindle. I would talk with Soup a bit in case there is an issue with his tool.

OK, folks. Hopefully somebody can help me out of this mess I've caused. I'm currently stuck on the Kindle Fire Screen with no access to ADB to get into fastboot or anything else.
Here's how I got there:
Fire was rooted and had CWM recovery installed using KFU
Downloaded Pure AOKP ICS ROM with 3.0 kernel
Flashed with CWM like an idiot, instead of using TWRP like the instructions called for
Here I am -- My Kindle shows up in Windows 7 Device Manager, but can not be found via ADB; it just hangs on the Kindle Fire boot screen.
I've done a lot of reading on the subject and I'm really hoping I won't have to resort to getting a factory cable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, folks!
The only thing I can think of atm is either the KFU or the kindle fire unbrick utility. Try both.. good luck..
Sounds like you are not bricked and fast boot is possible.
I would recommend trying to fast boot twrp onto it and get into recovery.
Hello bricked my Kindle about 5 months ago, and I tried everything I could to unbrick it. I recently started to attempt to unbrick it again and ran into the same problems.
OS - Windows 7 x64
KF - Kindle Fire (I got this around December 2011) (Firmware unknown)
Problem - Kindle Fire is stuck on the screen which says "kindle fire." Nothing else happens.
How did you cause this problem? - I was trying to install Cyanogen Mod, and my friend said he knew how to do it. Obviously he didn't.
Was the recovery installed prior to installing the mod? - No.
Have you installed SDK? - Yes.
Does ADB detect device? - No, I've been searching this forum time and time again for new instructions or new ways to do it. Reading other threads, it seems to be a driver problem. Yes, I've uninstalled it, and reinstalled it. I'm installed the driver the old way (Going to extras/google/usb_driver) then I tried the KFU's exe then I tried Amazon's way. Currently, the device (in Device Manager) is named Android ADB Interface. However, if I disconnect the device and reconnect it, it will give me "Unknown Device" and "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
EDIT:I just noticed this is probably in the wrong section. Sorry! If it is, could a MOD move it please?
Additional Information - The Kindle Fire was rooted by me, and I did get ADB working before. Unfortunately, right now I cannot get it working. I believe if I can start ADB, that the KFU should do the trick. Also, if anyone has additional time and is feeling generous, I am more than happy to do Teamviewer to try and solve this problem.
I will continue trying to tackle this on my own. Thank you for your time.

What CM build were you trying to attempt? what version of KFU did you try? I assume you have TWRP or CWM installed? and finally, is the Kindle Fire logo the regular one or is it blue?
Hopefully the answers that you give me will help, and I hope that I can help you too.
I think I got the same problem, and I'm a big noob.
Kindle Fire is stuck at the blue "Kindle Fire" screen, when I go on either recovery or normal boot it just hangs on "booting".
I did not install TWRP so I'm screwed. Tried adb reboot and some fastboot commands in order to change booting stuff so I can fix it up.
I was trying to install ICS through this guide: techhive.com/article/258452/how_to_install_ice_cream_sandwich_on_your_kindle_fire.html?page=2 (I'm not spamming :[ )
I did thesse steps:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery C:\kfu\software\openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img
3. Change the boot mode to Recovery:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001
4. Reboot into TWRP:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Right after I tried to reboot into TWRP it just got stuck into "Booting".
I have no idea what to do now :/
EDIT:
SO for some strange reason, it booted back to the default KF OS.
I unplugged my KF and turned it off, booted my Ubuntu partition, plugged the kindle back in and turned it on... it booted normally.
I'm gonna try and redo all the process, maybe SouKit can help you with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038
Not quite sure if it'll help in your case, but I've seen threads with people solving similar problems with it.
This thread did it for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750250
I used SoupKit to get the kindle into fastboot, then I installed TWRP through SoupKit.
After that I put in my ICS rom in Kindle's sdcard.
Booted up TWRP and installed ICS...
That's what I did, maybe it can help you out in case the other solutions don't work.

I apologize for the late reply.
What CM build were you trying to attempt?
CM 7
what version of KFU did you try?
KFU 0.9.6
I assume you have TWRP or CWM installed?
As for TWRP/CWM I sadly don't think that was installed.
is the Kindle Fire logo the regular one or is it blue?
Regular Logo
Thank you everyone else, I will follow your links and see if it helps.
Cesgore,
Try going into the KFU and installing TWRP with the kindle attached to the computer and see if it installs. It's okay if KFU doesn't see the device, just try it anyway. This worked for me and I was able to get into recovery. If not try installing FireFireFire the same way with KFU.
Also, is your Kindle showing up in device manager at all?

Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. By some miracle I just connected it and a the drivers decided to recognize it (Usually saids Unknown Device, and when trying to update it, it says it's on the latest version). Did KFU, said it didn't see the device. But TWRP installed and it just booted for the first time in MONTHS! I love you.
Thank you everyone else who help!
Hello,
I received a new Kindle Fire 2 (after hard bricking the previous one flashing a wrong bootloader on it...)
I flashed otter2-freedom-boot.img on boot and otter2-twrp-2.3.3.0-recovery.img on recovery of the new KF2, and ended up bricking it again: it keeps rebooting over and over, I can only see the standard (white and orange) KF2 logo.
ADB and fastboot cannot connect to the device.
I found some threads saying this is a battery issue, but I believe it's not my case.
Can I do anything to unbrick it?

Mine is doing the same thing never shows the FFF blue logo just keeps showing orange logo then goes black, shows orange logo again and again. I can get into fastboot using a factory cable, but none of the unbricking utilities for the kindle fire 2 are working.
Did you both follow this guide?

[BOOTLOADER] 2nd-Bootloader/Recovery unlock process for KFire 2 [04/02 TWRP update]
If you had a new KF2, it was probably on 10.3.1, which I think might have issues with the basic setup. I believe you have to downgrade to 10.2.4 first.
Did you flash the stack override file as well?

Please forgive my noob-ness. I've done some research but i can't figure out whats up with this device.
I have a Kindle Fire first gen that is stuck in a boot loop. I get the boot logo with "Kindle Fire" and a flicker effect but that is it. This is NOT my device i'm trying to fix it for a non-technical family member. I know they didn't try to root it or any of that. It just stopped working for them one day.
after installing / removing / reinstalling the drivers a million times i finally got the kindle fire utility to see the device as online. its seems like no matter what i do the device goes back to the boot loop and KFU gives me "waiting for device'. anyone have any ideas? do i need the factor cable to get this working again??
according to FAQ 16 Frequently Asked Questions - Amazon Kindle Fire
If the Kindle Fire logo you're talking about flashes and goes dim after being brightly lit for a few seconds, then your device is trying to boot normally to a malfunctioning operating system, likely caused by not wiping the data partition (factory reset) before flashing a ROM. If that's the case, you will likely need a factory cable to get into fastboot mode so you can access or (if needed) install custom recovery, then reinstall a ROM properly.

Not sure of the state of your Kindle Fire G1 (It's not rooted? Are you sure?), but this sounds similar to what I ran into trying to install CM11.
What version of TWRP do you have installed? If it's 2.2.2.1 and you're trying to install a ROM with KitKat (CM11) you can run into this. I did. When I installed TWRP 2.7.0.1 I could install CM11 just fine without the boot loop.
To install TWRP 2.7.0.1 I found that you could only do so by:
When you turn Kindle Fire on, hold down the power button to cycle through the options when you see the Kindle Fire logo. You want to land on the Recovery option.
Mount storage from TWRP 2.2.2.1 on a PC and copy CM10.x.x and related GApps to SDCARD
Factory reset then reinstall CM10.x.x (with Gapps for that version)
Install Flashify from the PlayStore
Download the latest TWRP for otter/Kindle Fire G1 (2.7.0.1)
Install it with Flashify
Download CM11 and related ZIPs (GApps kk, Change to Nexus 7, etc) to Downloads directory
Restart into TWRP recovery (should be 2.7.0.1 now), and factory reset/reinstall CM11 and related ZIPs from Downloads directory
Should be fine now.
I found that I could only do it this way because for some reason Kindle Fire Utility Kit and ADB couldn't work with my Kindle anymore with TWRP 2.2.2.1 (don't ask, I don't know why). This way works. Just make sure you have a copy of a version of a ROM and GApps on SDCARD at all times since mounting storage might not work anymore in TWRP (again, I'm not sure why). I tried it again and again, but I couldn't get it to work and it might be the same for you. Keep in mind this is for CM11. If you're using stock, then follow sd_shadow's advice.
I was trying to install CM 12.1 to my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and I believe it is bricked. I feel as if there is an easy fix but I have been trying for 2 month to no avail. So I finally decided to make an account to try to fix it. So I was using a tutorial to root my Kindle Fire, (I'm a new user so I can't post outside links yet) and everything was going fine until it would only boot into the blue Kindle Fire logo. After about a month I figured out that it was just my terrible, broken volume buttons, and I eventually booted my device into TWRP. From there, I tried to add the CM 12.1 to the Kindle, but it wouldn't recognize my device so I couldn't get into the device to add the files. So I just backed up my OS, and tried to boot into my recovery. I read somewhere that it is a big no-no. Who knows? Anyways, it booted into a normal Kindle Fire logo, just stuck. I did get my device into fastboot, but it won't recognize the device. Every time I try to use any recovery tool, KFHD SRT in specific, it just says no device found. I've been messing with drivers for ages. I've tried using the Amazon driver installer, tried using Android_winusb.inf (I don't even know if I was supposed to do that) and somehow every time I'd uninstall the driver, it would re-install as Android ADB Interface, and wouldn't be recognized by anything. Not ADB, or any recovery. Any help please? Sorry if this was posted in the wrong section, but please, someone just help me get my device running in CM 12.1 or any CM.
