I hope someone on this forum can help me. I have an unrooted Kindle Fire 1st generation. It is stuck on the Kindle Fire logo. Anytime I plug a USB cable into the device, the logo appears and just stays there. It can be when connecting to the wall charger or to a PC. When I connect the KF to my PC, the PC doesn't recognize it. The ADB console does not recognize the device either. I tried sending a command via ADB as I connected the KF, but that didn't help. I tried the KF utility, but it cannot locate the device (no surprise as this uses ADB too).
I have read through tons of posts and tried everything I can find about fixing this. But no avail, it still is stuck. I even made a Ubuntu USB cable with SoupFix on it and tried from there. ADB in Ubuntu didn't recognize the KF device either. Ubuntu did note that there was a disconnected kindle Fire. So I told Ubuntu to forget the device in hopes that would help my Win 7 machine. Nope.
This is extremely frustrating as yesterday the KF was working and connecting to the PC for file transfer. It was turned off yesterday and upon reboot, nada.
Please help if you can.
Thank you.

Please, please, really, help me out. My kindle fire is bricked, I tried Unbrick tool and a lot of other things, like installing again the drivers, the sdk, but nothing works at all!!
Here is the thing: When I was rooting my Kindle, my building got a blackout during the root process, and when the light goes on, my kindle was stucked on "Kindle Fire" logo. When I use adb devices, nothing shows. When I connect to Windows, it shows as a Unknown device, and when I try to install adb composite, it give a message saying that the driver android_winusb is not compatible with the hardware connected to USB. So, I can now really use this brand new Kindle Fire as a brick? I bought it on june 06 2012 !!!!!! Please, help me with this.. please..
Thank you very much
I was in the same place yesterday
Uninstall the unknown usb driver
Unplug kindle from usb
Reboot pc
Install drivers from kindle fire utility using the install_drivers bat
Plug kindle in, should recognize as adb device (if it shows up as a kindle uninstall those and reboot)
You may need to use kfu to get into normal bootmode if stuck in fastbook onc the drivers are set

Stuck in Kindle Fire logo mostly means your your KF is in fast boot mode. Try unplug your KF, get the latest KFU and reinstall drivers, reboot pc and reconnect KF.
Open KFU and select normal boot mode.

Thank you for the answers, but it is still not working. I did everything you told me, but its not working. My Windows 7 set the device as unknown. When I set it to normal boot mode, the program starts to wait for the device that is already pluged in.
kindle fire bricked at all
What else can I do? I have tried on Mac, on Linux and Windows, but its not working in any of these systems.

First figure out where it's getting stuck in the boot process. If the bootlogo appears on the display and stays that way without ever blacking out, then it's in fastboot mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668159
If it does go black before showing the bootlogo again, then it's no longer in fastboot mode and its trying to boot into something. In this case, you'll have to hope that it's getting far enough into the boot process that it can accept adb commands from your computer.
Either way, you'll have to make sure the drivers are working properly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
The second one covers drivers, but the first 3 posts in general should be helpful to you. If it's not in fastboot mode and you can't get it to execute adb commands, you can either get a factory cable or open up the back cover on the device and use Firekit.
Hi.
I tried to install cyanogenmod on my Kindle Fire. Unfortunately, my device has been bricked....
First of all, I installed sdk manager with platform tools and google usb driver. I did everything to computer can work with Kindle Fire (finally I used "Kindle Fire Driver" pack because when I want to install driver by "Kindle Fire Utility" I can see error, because I haven't english version of Windows).
In the end I turned on "Kindle Fire Utility", I connected device to computer. Device was seen in the computer and "KFU". Then I gave a command to install root and superuser. After this command, I read my device will be relaunch in fastboot mode. KFU tried to download and install
TWRP, but it wasn't complete, because "KFU" couldn't connect with server. Application finished work and my Kindle Fire has been frozen. Now I can see only "Kindle Fire" logo. When I connect Kindle Fire, computer don't recognize it.
What Can I Do? I read that device is again and again in fastboot mode. What should I do to bring this device to life?
I read any command, but I can't do nothing, because computer can't see device.
Please, help me . Thanks in advance and best regards.
And...sorry for my english, I hope You'll understand me.

If i am correct, you should be able to turn it off by holding the power button until the screen turns black while stuck... then just reboot normally.
Thanks for reply. Unfortunately each time when I turn on device, it's stuck on logo .
Edit: When I turn on KF I can see Kindle Fire logo all time, it doesn't disappear.

Sorry, im sort of new here so i kinda guessed. :/
I hope someone else sees this thread.
EDIT:There may be hope! According to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832812 . He has the same problem... try booting into the recovery menu then clear the cache.
The problem is my device has stock bootloader installed, so I can't do this .
I will read some articles, maybe I bring this device to life, but I'm losing hope. Drivers are installed correctly (I think so) and computer recognized unknown device (with problems) - I can't do nothing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833361
look
go back to the kindle fire utility and choose option 1 then choose the option with the 4000 number and thats it.
Ok, you're right! Kindle Fire change bootmode from 4000 (normal) to fastboot (4002). When I plug and unplug device, computer doesn't recognize it. But when I turn on device and connect to computer - it works! I can see ADB Composite ADB Interface.
Thanks for all reply .
Good

Is it up and running m8?:good:
I'm having this same problem with the computer not recognizing the kindle as it is stuck on the boot screen. However, nothing I do gets the computer to recognize that the KF is plugged in. Further, after initially only being frozen on the KF boot screen, now when I plug in the KF it just flashes the "Kindle Fire" screen over and over, shutting itself on and off in an endless loop. Computer can't recognize the KF, none of the utilities pick it up and I don't know how to go back and uninstall the drives because the device itself won't even show up on my computer. Everyone who has this boot screen problem seems to fix it by changing to or from fastboot, but my device doesn't seem to be able to communicate with the computer at all any more. Suggestions?

Do you have TWRP or any other bootloader installed?
I've attempted to root my kindle fire with the kindle fire utility and it wasn't 100% successful.
Im stuck on the kindle fire screen where it's booting up and it's on an endless cycle whether
plugged into the computer, or charging through the outlet. It's also completely unrecognized
when I do plug it into my laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated to unbrick it.
Important: When the battery wasn't dead it just stayed at the kindle fire and recognized.
But using Kindle Fire Utility and a few other unbricking programs could not find the device.
uh yeah a usb drive, pedrive universal usb creator and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038
I had a similar experience today rooting my friends kindle fire... The kf utility kept giving me a error, something about removing a root check. And it just kept booting into recovery so on boot up where twrp gives you the 3 options... Normal boot, recovery, or change bootmode I just selected change bootmode and it booted right on up and worked fine...root is good and alls was well every since... Not saying this will solve your problem but just figured I'd share incase... Goodluck!

Here is what I did to fix mine
Hello,
First things first, did you have ADB installed correctly?
I had the same issue that you are having now and I was freaking out.
I was sure my kindle was bricked and my wife was going to be pizzed at me.
After about 2 hours of searching the forums, I found out that getting stuck at the kindle logo screen is pretty common.
When you are stuck at this screen you are stuck in "fast boot"
Here is what I did to fix mine.
Mine was having the exact same issue as yours.
I could not get my PC to recognize my kindle at all and I was stuck at the logo screen.
1. Unplug kindle from PC
2. Hold down power button for 30 seconds until it powers off
3. Plug kindle into PC and power it on
4. More than likely PC will still not recognize it
5. Open Kindle Fire Utility program and choose Option 1 for boot menu
6. Then press 1 again to tell kindle to boot normally and press enter
7. The KFU should say something like "kindle is being told to boot normally"
8. Once kindle reboots, you should be good to go
9. PC should recognize kindle now
I would say once this is done, uninstall your drivers for kindle and reboot your PC
Once PC is back up, reinstall the ADB drivers and try KFU again.
As a side note, ADB would not work on my PC which is running XP
I was able to use KFU on my wife's PC which is running windows 7 and I know have root access.
I am currently running JandyCane on my kindle
All I am left with is "Waiting for device" in kindle fire utility..
try this

OK, what happened when you plugged it back into your PC did it recognize it?
Can you uninstall the drivers for it and then reinstall the drivers for it?
What OS are you running?
I don't use Windows so I couldn't say for sure whether this works or not, but it's worth a try.

Hi all,
I've got a Kindle Fire, which was rooted quite a while ago. More recently, I had the 5 second bootloop, so I took the kindle apart and charged the battery directly by cutting apart a micro usb cable. This worked and now the device powers on, but is stuck on the logo. I previously had all my drivers set up for kindle, and ADB was working properly, but now it shows up as an unknown device. I have tried reinstalling my entire Android SDK, with Amazon's repositroy added, and have uninstalled the drivers on the Kindle, so that only the Amazon ADB drivers remain. Still, I am unable to connect with ADB, and the device still shows up as "Unknown Device" and fails to be noticed by Windows7, or ADB.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thanks!
P.S. I've tried the KFU.

install drivers that are included with KFU
then
In Device manager>select unknown device>Update driver software>
browse my computer for driver software>Let me pick from a list of Device Drivers on my computer>
show all(uncheck show only compatible)>look for ADB interface or android phone
select yes to Ignore warning
may need to reboot both.

+1 to above response. Tell windows to look for similar installed drivers and choose the ADB interface drivers.
Thank for the quick response. I tried what you told me, and I notcied that when I plugged the Kindle in, and listing of "Android phone" popped up in device manager. It then immediately disappeared. After a little dinking around with the cable, I found that the micro usb port on my Kindle in loose on the inside. It wasn't making a proper connection. So I'm charging it right now with the cable slightly angled in the device. Thank you for the help anyways!
Any ideas what I could do to fix the loose port? Solder?
soldering should fix it, several YouTube videos on it.

Hi, all
I’m a newbie he and I extremely need your support and sorry if I’m starting threat in wrong place. I have my Kindle Fire HD7 2012 TATE bricked during installing a custom ROM. I’ve searched everything but had no chance to find the similar issue solution described.
First I had it stuck on a Kindle Fire logo after rebooting from TWRP after flashing stock ROM again (probably was some problem with a bootmode). Device stopped on Kindle Fire logo and has no reaction. Then I’ve got a factory cable and was able to enter the fastboot and tried change the bootmode with KindleFire Utility and something gone wrong. KF turned off and just sometimes turns on and goes to fastboot (even with ordinary usb cable) just for couple seconds and turns off again. When I connect KF to PC it tries to connect and I hear connect and disconnect USB devise sound constantly. PC even tries to install some drivers for some reason (actually I have KF drivers and ABD installed properly as I it checked with another Kindle).
Probably the battery is low, as I haven’t charged it for some time and I’m not sure it was charging while was connected when stuck a KF logo.
Does anyone has any idea? Please help!!!! I will really appreciate any support and thanks to all of you in advance.
