I tried to upgrade TWRP, after rebooting my Kindle will boot up, show the Kindle logo and black out. It doesnt bootloop or anything. Just remain black. I put the kindle into fastboot mode, it shows 2 traffic lights, green and red. The green light is blinking. But on my PC, when I tried to fastboot flash, it just say "Waiting for device". Any ideas on resolving this?
For fast boot to work you need to run it like this, try this for instance to test it:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
If it reports something back then you can go ahead and reflash the stock ROM I guess. The -i 0x1949 is crucial in use fast boot with kf.

Ok so i just tried to download the newest CWM from the kindle fire utility and when i tried to do that it got stuck in what i think is fastboot but i'm not sure. Has the little android guy above the name "Kindle Fire". Tried turning off the device and power back on but it is still stuck and nothing is working. Adb doesn't recognize my device either. Any help would be really appreciated. Here is what it looks like - http://db.tt/gd59KBHe
Type "fast boot devices" in a command prompt and see what you get

Code:
C:\Users\urweb3>fastboot devices
C:\Users\urweb3>
Thats all it did
Did you open the command prompt where you have fast boot installed on PC ie. Sdk/tools/
sent from my ever evolving kindle fire
Yes and nothing is recognizing my device
OK
Try this.
1/ turn of kindle
2/open command prompt where you have fast boot on your PC.
3/ type the following. Fast boot -i 0x1949 one idme boot mode 4000
4/ press enter (it should say waiting for device)
5/ then switch on kindle
6/ fast boot -i 0x1949 reboot(this should reboot your kindle(if not then your not getting fast boot.
Let me know what happens
Edit.. it should be OEM after 0x1949 not "one"

Windows is not detecting your Kindle Fire properly. The "fastboot devices" should return some alphanumeric characters if the drivers have properly loaded and your device is really in fastboot mode. You need to make sure the right drivers are loading or fastboot commands are useless.
Read this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
Pay particular attention to the second post because you NEED to get your drivers working right first. Then the correct fastboot command is...
Code:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
You don't need the "-i 0x1949" if you have the FIREFIREFIRE bootloader and "bootmode" is one word.

It says it finished but i am in the same state as i was to begin with
GOT it working. Ignore all posts. Thanks to Everyone!!!!
Did you get the latest FireFireFire as well? ClockworkMid recovery requires a fastboot such as firefirefire.
Try the kindle fire unbrick utility first before anything.
Here, try this.
1. Power on the kindle.
2. While the kindle fire logo and the android logo are on the screen, Try to boot into recovery by holding three power button until the screen goes black. Then, let go. Let it sit for about two-ten seconds, and it should boot into cwm recovery.
3. Select "factory reset/ wipe data option, and after its done, reboot your kindle and it should work properly.
If that failed, try a hard reset.
1. Power off the kindle.
2. Hold there power button for a Full 20 seconds, even when it turns black.
3. After step two is applied, power on the kindle.

If this doesnt work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038 you will need to aquire a factory cable so you can fastboot flash fff.bin and twrp image in order to then flash a rom because your system software is likely broken factory cable here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693 its possible you are stuck in fastboot but I doubt it if you get lucky and that is the case shift+ right click on the tools folder in kfu select open command window here power your device off completely leave it unplugged type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product when it says waiting for device plug in your powered off kindle it should then power on in fastboot mode if you get the response product: kindle then type fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 it will say okay hopefully the type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot it should then reboot in normal mode
I used Hashcode's method to install a second bootloader and to install recovery and CM10.1. After I flashed CM10.1 like normal, I didn't like it, as the screen resolution was way out of whack. So, I restore using fastboot the stock .img backups that I created prior to rooting.
Well, now my Kindle gets stuck on the Kindle splash screen, and no matter what I do to flash stock back onto it, every time it reboots, it has the same problem. I have tried the KFHD restore tool (none of the commands work), KFFirstAide (the same problem as KFHD restore), I even tried doing the rooting process again, with the same results. I cannot get this cursed device to boot into stock OS, and I have burned out on trying to fix it. I've had this thing for one day.... :crying:

Do you have a factory cable or is your KFHD an 8.9"?

Which splash to you become stuck at? White and orange logo or white and blue? If you get stuck at the white and orange it is a stack installation failure. If you get stuck at the white and blue logo the system is likely broken. Can you access recovery? Get it into fastboot and try
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 erase cache
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 erase userdata
at the userdata part it could hang just let it sit for ten minutes or so. Then
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
side note this will wipe your sdcard so all backups and rom files will be gone. So best you transfer all you wish to keep to your pc.

With a lot of persistence, I finally restored it. I had to use KFFA. It was ver likely that it was a stack failure, as when I was using Hashcode's method to root, I never pushed a new stack (because adb wasn't working).
But all is good now, I fixed it! :victory:
After the fact
I suppose it's not much a help now but using fastboot has helped me a lot with my kindle. I've locked it up several times to the point I thought it was broken. Usually it seems if you can turn it on and you see anything, you still can fix it.
After trying wallpaper fix I am looped at screen that gives you a choice of factory defaults or reboot
Shows a shows a robot with a red triangle on it.
Would I be able to fix this with a factory cable?
No, you don't need a factory cable since you are on a 8.9”. Simply open a command prompt and CD into a directory with a copy of fastboot, and run this command, "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", after it says waiting for device plug your kindle in with the power off. It should go into fastboot, if it doesn't then you need to install the drivers for fastboot that are in my signature.

So way back when I bought my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 I decided to root it. Unfortunately I don't know which process I went through but once I had an issue with a google app, I decided to try to remove the root I had put on it. In the process I obviously messed something up as the kindle refuses to boot to anything but the Kindle Fire System Recovery. Even at this screen when I do "Reset to Factory Default" it simply reboots and comes to the same screen.
I don't have a "fastboot" cable that I keep seeing on forums, so I can still go try and retrieve one of those. But I'm interested in what steps I can do to either revive my Kindle or use it to boot another operating system. Anything to keep it from being a large paper weight!
Thanks for reading and any insight you all give
EDIT: Okay so I've been able to install Fastboot and ADB on my pc when using "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" it gives me a response of <waiting for device> then I reach over onto the kindle and tell it reboot and heres my result in my CMD window:
Jem-PVT-Prod-04
So it appears that I'm able to send/recieve information from my kindle.
Upon sending the command to get the product's information, It now has the Fastboot mode logo across the front, but still not recognized by ADB. Anyone have any ideas on the next step?
Edit #2: So I found another user one here say to use the command: "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme boot mode 1" which allowed my kindle to boot through to the operating system! Hooray!!! The only small issue is that now periodically my top bar with Time/Battery/options disappears and I have to wait for it to come back before opening the system settings. In the "About" Im running 8.4.3_user_4308820 if that helps.
I see that theres been about 45 people view my question, If there's ANYTHING you can think of to help me. please let me know. I'm in a standstill with this perma-recovery boot kindle..
