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

Hi...
Thanks for the linky, i grabbed it today and for some reason, it's not detecting my device. I've installed/reinstalled the drivers that came down with v0.9.8, still same results. Shows the driver Android ADB Device
When I run the option 2 to install root & superuser error encountered. We are unable to locate your kindle fire. Fastboot uses a different device than ADB. ck device mgr for Kindle or Amazon (when looking, neither are listed.)
So tried to just boot it to FastBoot and same results, device not found.
So being dummy me, i ran the Run script as admin, now i get the Tools\wget cannot be found. Thought maybe it was a long file name issue, so copied folder to c:\temp\ - still same results.
What am I doing wrong here guys?
Thanks in advance and thank you for the work you do for us idiots.

The one that ichigo said is good.
So I was using the new KFU 9.8+ on my first gen kindle (6.3.2)
and during the procedure while I think it was attempting to install FFF bootloader it was on <waiting for device>, my laptop lost batter life and shut down. Upon booting up my computer and trying KFU again
ADB Status: Offline
Boot Status: Unknown
My kindle now displays the logo. I assume it's bricked right now.
Are there any remedies to fix this?

The .android folder is found under the root of your sdcard or you ext-sd. To remover the drivers:
If you are on Windows 7/8:
Hit the "Start" button on the keyboard, and when the homescreen (Windows 8) or the Start dialogue (Windows 7) pops up, type in "Add or remove".
Hit enter on the highlighted option, which should be "Add or remove programs". (Note: You may have to go into the settings tab if you are running a search on Windows 8)
This will show you a window where all the apps that are currently installed on your computer shows up. (Metro apps don't show up here.) Look through the list until you find your KF drivers. This should be listed as something like this: Kindle Fire Drivers
Highlight the driver and look towards the top of the window. You should see that a "Change/uninstall" button has popped up. Click on that and follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the drivers.
You're done!
If you are on an older version of Windows:
The procedure is the same, only you have to go into Control Panel > Add or remove programs to do this.
Good luck rooting your KF. :good:

Hello all
I realize the one post below me is almost the exact same problem, but I am stuck. I just got my kindle hd 89 and I already have a red screen. Every option I try to use to get fastboot does not work, whether I'm using cmd and typing in the command, using KFFA, or KFHD 2.1. I think I ended up with a red screen by using FireFlash but without checking the right options. If it matters, I started with 8.4.6. I really want to unred-screen this, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
hi beatmastermcfly,
I guess this will be a driver problem, for me win 7 64bit it works perfectly.
Have you ever tried KFHD_SRTv1.3-8.1.2 to start on another PC? Did you run it as an Admin?
You get a red screen when you try to SRT to enter fastboot?

I used KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4 and I am going to try KFHD_SRTv2.0- 8.1.3 , but the link to KFHD_SRTv1.3-8.1.2 in this thread appears to be dead. Anyone have a mirror?
And yes, the issue I'm having with KFFA, the SRT, and even when I am just trying to boot into fastboot via cmd, is that it says "waiting for device" and then when I plug it in it says "KindleFire" (in orange) for a second or two before switching over to the red screen.
I was able to do fastboot before the red screen showed up, so I doubt it has anything to do with drivers.
hi beatmastermcfly,
I asked because I recently in a German Help - Forum have 3 different PC's tried it with a user (always bare OS with identical increments). Only after 1 week it has then eventually folded.
the Pc's have not accepted the Fastboot.exe for any reason.

I do not understand what you are saying.
I will say that when I plug the Kindle in, my laptop makes the "device connected" noise followed quickly by the "device disconnected" noise and it even shows up in the device manager for the split second before it turns red.
What exactly is the device that shows up in the device manager call itself before it disappears? And does it have a yellow triangle on it?

At first it showed up under "portable devices" as an "unknown device" and I managed to uninstall the drivers in the hopes of re-installing them, and then the next time it showed up under "portable devices" as "jem-004..." etc. or whatever the code name for this type of kindle is. I think it just shows up as the category "other devices" now, but I do not have the kindle handy.
Depending on if it manages to stay connected long enough you might be able to install the drivers in my SIG, but I think windows cancels the driver install if it disconnects in mid install. If that's the case and running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and then plugging the kindle in doesn't go into fastboot you may need to boot a ubuntu live CD and do this from a terminal since the drivers work differently on Linux, they load up immediately without you having g to install anything.

Dead Kindle Fire HD 8.9
Okay, due to my own errors while using fastboot on my KF, it no longer does *anything* when I try to turn it on. I can't reenter fastboot, since ADB no longer recognizes the device (which of course, it can't, since the device doesn't start). I mean, it does *nothing* (although the hardware is in great shape).
Am I, as I suspect, just dead in the water here? I have the recovery files, but without ADB or fastboot, I no longer have a way to load them.
Should I just start using the KF as a doorstop now? Or is there some obscure solution to this mess?
rogerlig
Someone correct me but figuring concludes that the red screen is because amazon blocks tablet when it comes to a stolen board or losses , my I get a tablet I did not say much , so that the repaired but through the serial number of a personal contact amazon and they said it was lost and I imagine blocked the operating system so I could not use the tablet
Please Help!

On a win7 x64 box you need adb (there is a quick version) installed. The kfhd drivers. USC disabled. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU MUST RUN ADB FROM A COMMAND PROMPT ORIGINATED FROM THE ADB FOLDER. (shift+right click and select "run command prompt from here)

i had the same problem with the "red screen of death" as well. i found that if i installed the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and / OR (i did the minimal first.... ) KFHD_SRTv1.3.5 and RUN THE APP FIRST, then when it says "waiting for device" you then plug in the ALREADY OFF tablet it then WORKS!! says "fastboot mode" on the tablet. and it is listed in device manager also.

Hi,
I had my kindle rooted and a few weeks back the OS got updated automatically to a new version and my Home screen went black and I was unable to change the wallpaper. So I ran Stunts Wallpaper Fix but something must have gone wrong and I am now stuck in the:
Kindle Fire System Recovery
Your kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot.
Resetting your device to Factory defaults may
help you to fix this issue.
The choices I have are:
Reboot your kindle
Reset to Factory Defaults
Choosing any of the two options eventually leads back to the above. So I purchased the fastboot cable but that apparently does not help either, as soon as I plug it into the kindle it will go back to the Kindle Fire System Recovery screen. I have ADB installed on my PC, however when starting the Kindle, my PC only recognizes the driver for about 2 seconds and displays it as "Jem-PVT-Prod-04" in the Device Drivers then that disappears as well.
I read many, many threads on this forum but don't seem to find anyone with this particular problem. Help very much appreciated.
Where did you get your factory cable?
I got it from the "EARLYBIRD SAVINGS 3ft USB to Micro USB Factory Cable for Amazon Kindle Fire Motorola Xoom/Phones" from Amazon.

You may have a bad factory cable, or the "factory cable" you have is not a factory programming cable.
If you can install the driver in my signature on the jem device before it disappears, then you should be able to use the fastboot command like this and not have to use a factory cable:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Run that command and after it says waiting for device, plug your kindle in while powered off, it should go into fastboot.

I followed your instructions and it seems to be working.
I am now receiving after rebooting the Kindle a dark screen saying "fastboot mode" in yellow.
In order to not screw things up again, what would be the best way forward?
I would suggest using kindle fire first aide and reflashing the stock system partition.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
I followed the steps mentioned for the Kindle First Aide and did a complete restore. My Kindle is now up and running!
Thank you sir for your excellent advice!
On another note if you try my wallpaper fix again, if it has some kinda error and bricks again, could u report the error to me? I always try to make it as safe as possible, and would like to know why my safeties didn't help in your case. Who knows, it might actually work this time since your os is closer to stock than before possibly.

My kindle is stuck in the exact same loop. What do you mean by 'install the driver...on the jem device'? ...I'm pretty green
Basically it means open the device manager on your PC, and plug you kindle in while its off, if it is indeed an 8.9" model, after it powers on you should see a device pop up briefly in the device manager called jem something, if it instead makes the noise like something connected an you don't see a jem device popup, then you probably have the drivers installed already. If you see the device pop up then quickly right click it and hit update drivers and point it to where you extracted my drivers and let them install. After that you should be able to use the fastboot command I mentioned to get I to fastboot mode.

Thank you so much Stunts!!! I'm now trying to do your programming, and I'm having a bit of a problem. The dos is telling me 'Could Not Find ...system32\framework-res.apk.orig doing prelim check...' followed by 'Your system partition is too low...' what am I doing wrong?
OK well the cannot find time isn't an error, its just extra output that I haven't disabled, that file it can't find is basically the cleanup process running to delete any files from a previous attempt, and if they aren't there you see that error. As for the disk space error, you should check your system partition to see how much space it has left on it, you will need around 40mb to use the wallpaper fix. You can attempt to disable the check if you are sure you have enough space, but if it doesn't have enough space you will end up with a softbrick'd device stuck in a boot loop until it has its system partition reflashed. Try either over adb shell or in a mobile terminal running "df /system" and tell me how much space it has free.

Ok, recap...system is still rooted. I did a full system reboot, and the only other os that I had was go launcher. To try and get the script to run, I deleted Go launcher, along with widget picker, and live wallpaper. I tried to run "df/system" through COMMAND under administrator, and I tried the same command on my kindle through a terminal emulator and it said "not recognized" on pc, and "not found" on kindle. I'm sorry if this is annoying, and I appreciate the help.

n/m, just found the df. on system it says 37M. What can I do for the other 3M?

Ok...I realized I was asking stupid questions that I should resolve myself. For nOObs (like me) I went to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619153 to get help with the adb shell. In doing so I was able to find my available space. I typed the command "df" and it showed all my available and used storage. I then went in to X-plore (root file management app) where I was able to change my user status to SU and go in to the systems folder and remove apps that were invaluable. Thanks for all the help stunts, if it wasn't weird I would send you some Christmas cookies lol.
My thread title pretty much explains what happened after I tried uninstalling some pre-installed apps (using Clean Master) in my Kindle Fire HD 8.9.
My question to XDA kindle owners... is the potential fix for my device just a 10 dollar factory cable away? Can my device be restored in factory setting once I get in to fastboot and find the Android equivalent of Windows system restore?
Sidenote:
1) 2 days ago I succeeded rooting my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with no issues. In that same day I installed setCPU to keep my device running at 1.5 Ghz. I admit... the only crazy thing I did with my device was attempting to uninstall pre-installed applications that came with my Kindle.
2) my desktop computer knows the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is being connected to USB... but a few seconds later it refuses.
Fastboot cables don't work on 8.9" models, you need to install the drivers when the device briefly is detected with the ones in my signature if it doesn't have them installed already. If/when they are installed you just need to so only turn the kindle off and unplug the cable and run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and when it says waiting for device plug the kindle in, it should then go into fastboot. From there you can restore it with kffa.

Have you or any XDA-ers out there seen this kind of dilemma My desktop PC is having?
Jem-PVT-Prod-04 appears briefly, then disappears.
Here is a snapshot of my desktop.
Here is what I see in 0-3 seconds

That's what it is supposed to do on the 8.9” model, you have to try to install the driver while it briefly appears. If you can't kffa might have something that will help, if not you can always do this from a Ubuntu live CD, which is easy because the drivers are built in, only thing you have to do is install the fastboot command from the repos, but that's easy as long as you use the 13.10 live CD.

Here was my attempt to install drivers in your signature

Ah that's cause your on windows 8, you have to disable windows driver signature enforcement, look it up on Google, then try again. Also no offense but could you just tell me what the error is next time, I use the xda app on my kindle for the most part and I can't select those as links without opening it to my browser then copying and pasting it.

You need to disable the signature enforcement that both Windows 7 X64 and Windows 8 users have to deal with. This post covers it better than I can type it. http://www.fotoclubinc.com/blog/how...on-of-windows-7-printer-drivers-on-windows-8/
My status so far...
1. Install stunt513's driver with windows driver signature disabled..... check
2. run fastboot in command prompt ..... check (but "fastboot mode" logo on the screen is just there... not moving)
3. run KFFA 4.1.100 (RunMe.bat) ..... check
4. attempted to run 1. Device Diagnostics (Safe) >>> 1. Ready to Test ADB Communication
result...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037
* daemon started successfully
No changes happening and kindle fire is still in "fastboot mode" logo.
I'm not sure if I should take the next step in attempting to restore the kindle fire (option 4 in KFFA 4.1.100) because I might hardware brick it for real this time.
When using kffa I believed there is a option or question it asks you about putting it into fastboot mode for you or something, you need to tell it not to because it sounds like its just hanging on a adb command that cant execute because its in fastboot mode already.

also, i was just reading some instructions in the KFFA thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
here's one of the instructions...
Kindle Fire First Aide Step 4: Find the RunMe.bat file. Right Hand Mouse click on RunMe.bat, select 'Send to', select Desktop (Create Shortcut). Now press the Left Hand Mouse button to create the Shortcut named RunMe.bat. Temporary disable the Android SDK.
The bolded red text above..... are you guys sure it's not a misplaced instruction? In my mind it sounds kinda totally off topic (or it should have been step 5... or something)
I having ever used it before, I assumed as long as you had java installed it was pretty straight forward as running the run me.bat as admin, I would assume the stuff in red means if have the android SDK to take it out of your paths temporarily.

I get the following error trying to install your driver: "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation."
I'm on a Win7 32-bit system. After downloading your zip, I extracted the files to their own directory and right-click the android-usb.inf file, which gives the above error. Can you point me to a solution? Thanks.
You are supposed to open the device manager, find the device with a triangle next to it, usually will say jem unless its not an 8.9" device, then it would say something like otter2, or Tate, right click it and hit update driver and point it to where you extracted it, then it should install.

It shows as jem, but on power-up it appears so briefly that I cannot install the driver for it. From power-on to device appearing to disappearing takes 1-2 seconds.
Yea you have to be fast, this is why I stick to Linux... Kffa might have a driver install option that installs to the driver cache on windows so it would auto install the driver when detected, at least after you hit skip obtaining from Microsoft update. Not sure about that though as I have never used kffa.
