A couple weeks ago i rooted my Kindle fire. Sadly I had no idea what I was doing. I have gone throught countless troubleshooting forums, programs, KFU, Kindle Fire unbricker. I cant access the SD or much less anything in the device. When i turn it on all that happens is the "Kindle Fire" logo pops up. When i run KFU It says ADB is online but boot status is unknown. I can NOT RUN ADB SHELL and get the error message
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
I also get the occasionaly running other commands.
Please help me I have no idea what I'm doing.
Was your kindle version 6.x or 10.x? First answer this and then I can help you.

I THINK it was 6.2.2
I got it in January of 2012 and never updated it.

That's a KF1. You'll need a factory cable since you don't have access to the shell in order to change bootmodes.

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 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
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?

Hi guys,
I wanted to convert my kindle fire hd 8.9 to full fledged android device, so I followed this post: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fi...-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet/ Everything went well except that I kept getting stuck on white/blue kindle fire logo. I could however get into TWRP.
So I browsed through the internet and found about soupkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038 (Now I notice that I was not supposed to use it on kindle fire hd, d'oh!) I tried changing my boot mode to normal using it, nothing happened. Then I changed my boot mode to Bootloader and it went to fastboot mode. Since then I haven't been able to get out of the fastboot mode. I have tried everything so far.
Commands like
fastboot erase boot
gives me FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist) error.
I even tried changing the boot mode to 4000. Still nothing it keeps booting into fastboot mode. Any help will be appreciated.
Please, whatever you do, don't do anything else until you read this...

So basically it's unfixable at this point?
Don't think warranty covers it.
Does your device show anything on the display?

It shows white/yellow Kindle Fire logo for about 5 seconds then goes to fastboot logo.
You should be able to fix it using the Kindle Fire First Aide posted in the HD7 General forum.

I'm throwing a guess out there if kffa said that, maybe you deleted an unsigned partition? If it was signed your kindle wouldn't even be turning on. I'm not an expert at this particular kinda thing. If that is the case though I would think the only way to fix is to reflash the entire emmc to restore the partition layout, though I'm not sure if you can do that over fastboot. What do you think soupmagnet?

Sorry, I got caught up in stuff. Check your inbox.
I'm having this same problem. It goes to the Kindle logo for a few seconds, and then the screen turns red, and then it boots into fastboot.
I have been trying to unbrick my device for a day now with no luck at all. Nothing I try (KFFA, KFHD SRT, flashing stock imgs) works. I am getting very frustrated and I am starting to think that I will not be able to fix it. I just threw $300 out the window. I am an idiot.
Could u provide more details as to what happens when u try to reflash it from fastboot using those utilities?

You will more than likely need a fastboot cord but you can try it with the USB since you are in fastboot already. I am not sure if this will work with a USB cord though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 when you run it, use the one marked "Added a improved Root-Method by Ariel Berkman."

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

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
