There are allot of bricks on this device. But this one is kinda hard to figure out. Anyway....Ive flashed some things on my kindle fire before but this time i tried to flash honeycomb meant for the galaxy tab. YES i know it is crazy. But i just like honeycomb better than ICS. So then i rebooted and it didnt work but then i wiped the system and flashed it again. Reboot and it will not boot up or show a charging light. I tried kindle fire unbrick 1.1 and the utility and the kindle fire utility 0.9.3 and tried to boot into recovery. DID NOT WORK. PLEASE HELP!

Kindle fire Utility should work even without being recognized (well it did for me after turning on and off 3 times).
Does the device at least get's the firefirefire logo? If so, this is what I did
-Turn your kindle off by holding the power button down for at most 20 seconds.
-Plug kindle into your computer
-Run the unbrick utility
-Turn kindle on
-Wait for the Caution Sign with the fire logo (firefirefire logo)
-Choose first option on utility (Recovery Loop)
-Wait... (a max of 10 minutes)
This should work, if not, try to turn off your kindle on and off, and then try again.
==========================================
Well, if that doesn't work, I know there's someone is working on "factory cables" which (I think) should fix this problems.
Wish I could be more help.

if adb is not working you still may have fastboot.
try powering kf off type "fastboot devices" into a command line. (open prompt in folder where you have fastboot installed on pc) it should say waiting for device.
then plugin kf to usb cable and power on if you've got fastboot it's easy, if you haven't it's a factory cable or a door wedge

PERFECT! But heres the problem, it wont turn on
will a motorola factory cable work with the kindle fire? if so, how do i fix this thing?
Buy a factory cable instead of making one
If your unit doesn't turn on at all and isn't recognized by the PC whatsoever then that is your only hope

Factory in the sense that the cable used is one in the same as the cable used in initially programming the device at the manufacturer, not in the sense that it is an OEM cable that came with a phone.

This post is one of the more confusing ones I've read in a while. omap4boot refers to a linux tool and it's not meant to be flashed onto the Kindle Fire, so I don't see what role KFU would play here.
You need to give more details about the problem if you want to get some help. What did you try to do? How did you do it? What is your Kindle Fire doing now?
Also, smirkis is absolutely correct. If you don't have a working bootloader, the factory cable is not going to be of much use here.
RE:

If you're talking about aboot.bin, there's no way to flash it right, because you're not supposed to be flashing it at all.
If you don't even get the boot logo appearing on the display, you're going to have to use pokey9000's Firekit and hope that it can flash a new bootloader for you. If it can't, that means you'll have to dismantle the Kindle Fire so you can short a connection on the board and get it in to usb boot mode.

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.

Turns out thing work better when you actually know what you are doing. But at leas I gained some knowledge. probably had the right drivers for a day and a half. Smh
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?

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
