TWRP not opening up, system just restarts - Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting

I been messing around with my Kindle 8.9 and I was able to root it no problem. I installed the 2nd bootloader not problem( i see the blue kindle fire logo). I even flashed the TWRP; however, I can not get TWRP to open up. I keep restarting my device and I immediately press the volume up button and it flashes to the blue logo but it just stays there for a long while and restarts again. If I don't press the volume up button again for it to loop back to what I just explained then the Amazon stock OS eventually loads up. I tried to search for somebody not being able to open up/load up/boot up TWRP/recovery and had no luck so sorry if this is a duplicate.
I followed these instructions:

and tried this one:

but not matter what I can't open up TWRP
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

[Q] is my KF requires Factory Cable?

Hi,
From yesterday, my KF keeps rebooting at Yellow Triangle, attempts to get into TRWP not succeceful. Although it turns to orange when pressed power button, it just keep reboots.
It reboots itself that no time allows to PC recoginise the Kindle fully, as soon as it showed as external disk called "Kindle" then disappears then re-appears.
It is however turns-off when pressed more than 10sec on power button.
I would like to know at this stage, whether do I need factory cable to revive it or any other methods may I can try.
Yes, at Kindle Fire Utility, it just say waiting for device forever.
Best regards
Heesang

Many thanks
Thank you soupmagnet,
I was able to re-install ADB driver from KFU (have to figure out change of install language code) and able to boot in normal mode between nick of time.
Now it continues to boot normal OS and as soon as it ready for operating, it shuts down automatically and backs to reboot, repeating of yellow triangle loops.
I still able to re-enter command to boot normal mode, however it keep repeats same thing again.

[Q] Stuck at blue/white startup screen after 'flashing' bootloader + TWRP

Hello,
I have an Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and today I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105
Everything went well, untill I arrived at step 3. This is were it went wrong:
Check that "disable recovery auto update" box, leave everything else alone, unplug the cable, and hit flash (the first option). You will see a progress window, and just hit OK. Then, turn off the device. Now, when you turn it on, immediately hold down the Volume Up button (leftmost from the power button) before it turns blue, an once it does, count to three in your head and let go. Be patient because you'll be stuck on the blue logo for a minute or so, then you'll see the TWRP splash logo. Once you're in TWRP, you're done. Just hit reboot, and everything's finished. Now you can browse the 8.9" Development forum for custom ROMs.

After rebooting my device in TWRP, it gets stuck at the Kindle Fire logo in blue/white. (Click here for logo)
and my device is not recognized by my PC anymore.
The next step should be to load a .zip file from a custom rom on to the SD card. But since my PC doesn't recognize my kindle anymore, I can't do that.
I am still able to acces TWRP and I can still load in FastBoot Mode. But to be honest, I have no idea what to do now, since I am new to these kind of things. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Btw, my problem seems to be about the same as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330669

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 8.9 - 8.4.6 - stuck on blue logo, or fastboot screen.

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??

You need to push a ROM onto TWRP. You should still be able to access TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498 be glad you did not hard brick it.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 just keeps rebooting

I attempted to install Android on my Fire HD 9.8 following a Youtube video. I followed the steps, but when it came time to reboot into TWRP, it just keeps rebooting. It gets to the KindleFire orange logo, then black screen with a bit of back light, then reboots over and over. I've tried booting into recovery by holding power and up vol, but it just sits at the slightly back lit black screen after that. This is also the only time Windows can access the device via explorer. adb devices shows it, but says unauthorized. I have tried to get into fastboot, but it says waiting for devices and the kindle goes into reboot loop. I have installed the latest windows drivers for the kindle and I am using the newest adb and fastboot. When I hold the power and up vol and it sits at the back lit black screen, I can access it in windows explorer and see everything there so it can't be completely dead. Any help on getting it back up and running would be greatly appreciated.

Kindle Fire 7 rebooting loop after flashing

HI there,
I have a Kindle Fire 7 and it's stuck in a constant reboot loop. Nothing shows on the Kindle screen - the only way I know it's rebooting is because I have the device plugged into my PC and it's making the USB device on/device off sounds.
I was attempting to downgrade the Fire using amazon7gentool_v1.8. I asked to downgrade to FireOs 5.4.0. The flashing was successful at which point I did the data wipe and cleared the cache. When I restarted is when the on/off loop began.
The file I flashed was from the Amazon servers and is called "update-kindle-55.5.7.9_user_579225620.bin"
I've tried holding the power button down, holding the power button in combination with the volume-up, and holding the volume-up button - all while plugging the device into a charger.
I've also checked the Windows Device Manager to see if I could find any info. When the Kindle is powered on, it shows up in Device Manager as "mt65xx preloader."
I've searched everywhere but can't find any instructions that are applicable to my situation.
Any tips would be much appreciated! I'd love to get this unbricked, and ultimately get a regular Android tablet build installed.
Thanks,
Robert.
