Ran "adb reboot bootloader and my kindle2 rebooted into fastboot mode, with the green and red light "stop light" on the screen. The Green light is blinking. The problem I am having is that my device comes up on my computer as Otter2-Prod-04 and I have no idea how to install fastboot drivers.

Use KFAID and install the adb drivers that come with it.
If your device is showing up as stated... Fast boot drivers are installed.
What is your goal?

Windows 8, but i've been thinking of creating an ubuntu partition because it seems people have a lot less problems with adb and the sort with linux.
I've tried the kindle fire drivers from the sdk, and the kindle fire hd drivers that some people used to root their kindle 2. had no problem getting my kindle fire to show up with adb. I've tried editing a driver to add the hardware id's that come up with the driver.

Very strange as the adb driver and fast boot driver are one and the same..
I assume you turned off driver signing and installed them manually (if not, do so)

What's the issue?
You're in fastboot.
That's what you want, you're done.
If you THINK there is an error with your PC connecting to the KF2 in fastboot, then try stuff with ADB. You say you want fastboot but you already have fastboot enabled. There is nothing more you can do to.....get more....fastboot?
Now, if ADB is having issues, then you should post what kind of errors or issues you're having, and then hopefully we can help more. As of now though, it seems like you're already at where you want to be.
I've got the driver installed after turning off the signature checking thing.
I just thought I would be able to issue fastboot commands, whenever i try and do that I just end up with waiting for devices. Not a big deal , my device is working just fine so it's not like im stuck or anything. Just trying to further advance my android knowledge.

Hey man, can you help me? How did you install ADB driver? could you be more specific on this turn off signature checking? I'm using windows 7 and even I manually install driver and did everything that you did I still have the yellow triangle in device manager and cant be detected in adb that's why I can't sideload files.

you've probably already have them installed. in device manager, right click on the yellow triangle and click "update driver" when it asks you if you want to automatically search, choose "browse my computer for drivers", then click "choose from a list of installed drivers" scroll down the list till you see "kindle" click on kindle and the driver you want should be called "android composite adb interface" that's how i got mine to work
My kindle fire is stuck in a boot loop (i think) it just keeps saying "Kindle Fire" then restarts then says the same thing and does this for ever in this state the computer doesnt find the device. I have a fastboot cable and it does put the device in to fastboot. Then I switch the fastboot cable with a regular kindle cable then it finds the device as otter2-prod-04. This all happened when I was trying to put twrp on it. And I think I rooted it.
If it shows up now as otter on your PC you just need to use fastboot to reflash the system image. If you are have an exclamation mark in the device manager you need to install the adb drivers for it when its in fastboot mode.

Thanks for the reply but another problem that i forgot to mention is that neither adb nor fastboot find the device.
Check the device manager for an an exclamation mark then also, what fastboot command are you running? If you don't run the command with -i 0x1949 it won't detect it. So for a test try running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product".
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
when I run that command it only says <waiting for device>. And also in device manager it has a exclamation mark.
Then u need to tell it to install the adb drivers for the device with the exclamation mark. That would be the reason the fastboot command isn't working. If u have rooted it then you should have the appropriate drivers laying around somewhere for adb mode. If not send either rpost back or pm me, and I will link u to my drivers I customized for kindles, though I am unaware if they will work with kf2 as is because I don't have its pid, only the vid may be the same, if that's the case I can always fix it and reupload it.

I also have a kindle fire second generation. But it's in a different bootloop, with the first bright white and orange kindle logo repeating every 10 seconds or so. Nothing else. No adb, no fastboot. Not recognized by the computer at all! Could you please help?
Sounds like you will need a fastboot cable to attempt fixing that.

These don't use fastboot. Use the regular USB and Has codes thread for 8.9" tablet for instructions to factory reset. Red screen on this is lack of bootloader.

Once the tablet is connected to the computer it will fall into red screen and become invisible to the computer in 1 second so the computer is not able to recognize the tablet.How can i install the necessary drivers?
BTW,you mentioned the instructions to factory reset,could you give me the link of the thread?
I would suggest using a Ubuntu 13.10 live CD in your case since you never installed the fastboot driver previously. Makes things a lot simpler since you won't need to install drivers, only the fastboot command. Should be able to install it from the Ubuntu software center, just search for fastboot.

I have opensuse installed in my PC but that doesn't work either. Connect the tablet with the computer and the red screen shows up then the connection breaks and the tablet become invisible to the PC,just the same situation as it is in windows.
Yes but here's the thing, it's supposed to do that. You basically run in a terminal "fastboot -i 0x1945 getvar product" and after it says waiting for device you plug your kindle in while it's off. That way once its detected for a brief moment it sends the command and goes into full fledged fastboot. Never had an issue with it in Linux before, then again I have never red screened my kindle and mine's a 7" model so a fastboot cable would have worked on mine.

Thank you for you reply.I'd like to know if I could use this method in opensuse?
Should be able to as long as the kernel supports the device, anything modern should. I had native drivers in 10.04 of Ubuntu so it's safe to bet you have the kernel drivers. If you can't get it to work in suse, just try a live distro like I said, though I don't think there's a need to, but I have never tried suse before, I stick to Debian based distros.

I tried thay in suse but it didn't work.I think when the yellow kindle fire logo shows up the tablet is in fastboot mode but I'm just wondering why the tablet can't stay in fastboot after the screen truned into red.
Because it's not supposed to... The 8.9" models don't work with a fastboot cable so instead they made it so it will briefly appear as a fastboot device when the boot loader initializes, and if a command gets passed to it while its briefly like this it gets told to go into full on fastboot mode. That red screen you're seeing is not it trying to go into fastboot, its just a messed up bootloader, but it should still be intact enough to reflash the bootloader to fix this. Weird to suggest this at this point but maybe try using an Ubuntu live CD and see what happens... I don't know why suse wouldn't work but maybe give it a shot.

So your suggestion would be
step1，Download a Ubuntu live CD image file，write the image into a usb disk，and reboot into the live CD.
step2，Open a terminal，input the fastboot command，then connect the tablet to the PC when the terminal says"waiting for device"
step3，Then the tablet should stay in fastboot and it is now possible to fix the bootloader and system with fastboot command.
Did I understand that correctly？

And since my tablet is dead now， is it possible to install the fastboot driver in windows without the tablet？
It would be very difficult' unless you can get the driver into the driver cache but I haven't looked up how to do that, also on Ubuntu you will have to install the fastboot command, it should be in the Ubuntu software center, I'd give u the terminal command but I don't know the package name offhand.

Hey all, I have a kindle fire 2 that I have been trying to restore and reset using kindle first aide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
I purchased a factory cable from skorp and when I plug my KF2 in with it, it simply says "kindle fire" on the screen. It is listed in device manager as Android Phone, and it says the Android ADB Interface is working properly. Yet when i type "abd devices" in cmd prompt nothing shows up, and when I try to use the first aide tool it says its waiting for a device.
Does anyone have any ideas on what may be wrong with it?

Yes they are, I tried the cable on my mom's kindle as well and the screen said kindle fire fastboot on hers. Device manager recognizes hers the same way it recognizes mine though.
If it was in fastboot mode then "adb devices" wouldn't show anything. When in fastboot mode, use fastboot commands, try this out:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

Try upgrading the factory amazon firmware first to repair fastboot on the device. I've had this happen before on a customers kindle. I was able to just grab a rootable amazon firmware update, update it, then continue to root, twrp and flash with a new rom.
Hey everyone
I think I've just bricked brand new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 :/
So, I'm new in rooting and I tried to install custom rom Cyanogen Mod 10.1 following the instructions from there: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fi...-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet/ .
After rooting Kindle, installing 2nd bootloader and TWRP my Kindle rebooted. It showed up Kindle Fire logo, first yellow then blue one. But after that nothing happened, it stucked at booting. So I entered to recovery mode by holding down volume up button and because of my stupidity I thought backing up system and restoring it will get me able to enter to original Amazon's system. After restoring system and rebooting worse thing happened. Logo while booting didn't turn from yellow to blue, it just stucked in yellow logo like it freezed. Now I can't enter anywhere in my Kindle, even in recovery mode and after plugging Kindle to PC through USB cable PC doesn't see Kindle. I think maybe using fastboot cable will help but I'm not sure about that, so I'm asking You: Is there anything I can do to restore my Kindle?

(if you're bricked, you need fastbootcable?). that what i was told anyways
OK good news, you don't need a fastboot cable, in fact they don't even work on 8.9" models. The only problem is if you never have put the device in fastboot before while plugged into windows you are going to have a fun time trying to install the drivers... More or less plug the device is while it is off and have the device manager open already, you should see a jem device with a yellow triangle pop up for a moment, this is what you have to do, download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere. Now when that device pops up briefly, right click it, hit update drivers, and point it to where you extracted my drivers. If you can successfully complete this step the rest is easy, you just need to download a utility, like the one you asked if it would fix it(the answer is yes BTW). Extract the utility from its' zip file, hold shift and right click the folder that was extracted and hit "open command window here". Now with the device turned off and unplugged type this
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Press enter, once it says waiting for device then plug the kindle in while its off, it should go into fastboot. Once in fastboot you can use the SRT utility to fix it or kffa if you prefer.
Post above mine also makes skipping the entire try-to-install-driver-while-disappearing problem go away, instead you would reboot into windows after it goes into fastboot, still install the driver, and just run SRT.

Here is a tutorial that will show you how to install a 2nd bootloader and TWRP recovery.
2nd bootloader/TWRP install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175
Then choose a ROM made for the 8.9 Kindle Fire HD only and flash it.
If you wish to go stock then flashing the appropriate images in fastboot will be your plan. This requires setting up some SDK tools in your environment.

KFFA is another option as well.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Bricked
Can someone please provide me with some information. I tried to update the recovery for my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 running on cm10.2 using flashify which I found out now was a very lazy and dumb thing to do. Now my device is bricked its stuck at the white and orange kindle logo, my computer only recognize it for a split second and I can't boot into recovery.
My question to the experience members is if my device is done for or can the factory cable restore it? I tried creating one but it didn't get my device into fastboot mode and I also heard that it isn't compatible with the 8.9 series, I would like to know how true this is.
Thanks a lot.
You don't use a fastboot cable with a 8.9. It should when plugged in while off show up for a brief moment as a jem device. In this brief moment you must have the device manager open and right click the jem device hit update drivers and point it to where you would have downloaded and extracted the drivers in my signature. Once you manage to get the drivers installed shut off the kindle and open a command prompt that's CD'd into the directory of the fastboot command and run
Code:
fastboot -I 0x1949 getvar product
it should say waiting for device, at this point plug the kindle in with a normal cable and it should go into fastboot. I recommend a ubuntu live CD for this procedure because you don't have to deal with the driver issue, instead you just have to install the fastboot binary from the repo but it is fairly easy.

Can you explain step by step for techno-peasants how to fix my Kindle fire HD 8.9?
It flashes the words "kindle fire" for 14 seconds then goes dark and won't to anything else. I tried holding in the power button for 20; 30;40;60 seconds and that whole thing. I tested the charge in the battery. I'm past the easy fixes.
I'm at the point Kemoid was at above, ready to throw my Kindle Fire away and buy a new one.
I need the idiot proof directions that start with words similar to "Go to ww.somemagicURLwhereIcangetwhatIneedtodiagnoseandfixmyKindefireHD8.9.com and download xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx to your computer, then....."
Assume downloading an app reaches the limits of my technical comfort level.
Can you help me?

Can you explain step by step for techno-peasants how to fix my Kindle fire HD 8.9?
It flashes the words "kindle fire" for 14 seconds then goes dark and won't to anything else. I tried holding in the power button for 20; 30;40;60 seconds and that whole thing. I tested the charge in the battery. I'm past the easy fixes.
I'm at the point Kemoid was at above, ready to throw my Kindle Fire away and buy a new one.
I need the idiot proof directions that start with words similar to "Go to ww.somemagicURLwhereIcangetwhatIneedtodiagnoseandfixmyKindefireHD8.9.com and download xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx to your computer, then....."
Assume downloading an app reaches the limits of my technical comfort level.
Can you help me?

Your in a bootloop. Just use the factory restore tool for the 8.9 and your USB cord.
I'm thinkin your kernel is messed up, probably just needs reflashing, I agree with LinearEquation, you just need to use the system restore tool or kffa and it should reflash that, if you can get into fastboot though you might need to wipe your boot partition. Try the SRT first though.
My kindle still brick
