Help unbrick Kindle fire.

So i was trying to reroot my Kindle Fire with the latest version on KFU. My pc was not connected to the internet (didnt notice until it was too late.) The root failed so i disconnected the kindle. Right now the kindle is stuck in the Kindle logo with no animation. Can anyone please help me fix it?

i already rooted the kindle before with it. it should be all configured. The problem is that KFU (or the PC) wont recognized that the KIndle is connected.

I would go to the thread in development and check it out. I originally had an issue the first time I rooted my kindle in May, and found the best answers right in that thread. Is the failure that it is stuck? Have you tried powering it down (hold power button) and then power on again?

yeah basically, it said the the rooting failed and told me to press any key to continue.
i just tried turning it off and on but it didnt help

It turns off and then goes to yellow kindle? You may need to get a factory cable, which tells the kindle to fast boot, allowing you to push fff and twrp onto the kindle. I have read about shorting 2 pins, but I do not know this. Search the board for kindle factory cable.

yellow kindle? is that The grey and orange kindle fire logo?

leave it connected and simply power the device off and back on then check status in kfu

Yeah. It has been a long time since I have seen it! I have a blue kindle that changes to EyeCandy graphic. You kindle boot sector is messed up; completing the installation of fff and twrp is pretty important.

I fixed it guys. Thanks for the help. I had to reinstall the drivers and reboot the kindle. After that I had to change the bootmode to normal and it restarted.

[Q] Please help

ok so i bricked my kindle and i have everything to fix it but when i plug my kindle fire hd in the computer dosnt pick it up. idk much but i read about some drivers needed so i tried installing ABD drivers so i would detect my kindle fire hd so i could fix it well they always fail to install idk why just dosnt install im on windows 7 and i dont even know if i need those any help at all is greatly appreciated

If its bricked it usually doesn't show up, you have to get it into fast boot mode with a fast boot cable in order to get your PC to recognize it. I saw u said HD though this is in the kf2 section, so I'm basing this on what I know about bricked hd's. I don't have a kf2.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 8.9 stuck in fastboot mode

Hi guys,
I wanted to convert my kindle fire hd 8.9 to full fledged android device, so I followed this post: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fi...-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet/ Everything went well except that I kept getting stuck on white/blue kindle fire logo. I could however get into TWRP.
So I browsed through the internet and found about soupkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038 (Now I notice that I was not supposed to use it on kindle fire hd, d'oh!) I tried changing my boot mode to normal using it, nothing happened. Then I changed my boot mode to Bootloader and it went to fastboot mode. Since then I haven't been able to get out of the fastboot mode. I have tried everything so far.
Commands like
fastboot erase boot
gives me FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist) error.
I even tried changing the boot mode to 4000. Still nothing it keeps booting into fastboot mode. Any help will be appreciated.

Please, whatever you do, don't do anything else until you read this...

So basically it's unfixable at this point?
Don't think warranty covers it.

Does your device show anything on the display?

It shows white/yellow Kindle Fire logo for about 5 seconds then goes to fastboot logo.

You should be able to fix it using the Kindle Fire First Aide posted in the HD7 General forum.

I'm throwing a guess out there if kffa said that, maybe you deleted an unsigned partition? If it was signed your kindle wouldn't even be turning on. I'm not an expert at this particular kinda thing. If that is the case though I would think the only way to fix is to reflash the entire emmc to restore the partition layout, though I'm not sure if you can do that over fastboot. What do you think soupmagnet?

Sorry, I got caught up in stuff. Check your inbox.

I'm having this same problem. It goes to the Kindle logo for a few seconds, and then the screen turns red, and then it boots into fastboot.
I have been trying to unbrick my device for a day now with no luck at all. Nothing I try (KFFA, KFHD SRT, flashing stock imgs) works. I am getting very frustrated and I am starting to think that I will not be able to fix it. I just threw $300 out the window. I am an idiot.

Could u provide more details as to what happens when u try to reflash it from fastboot using those utilities?

You will more than likely need a fastboot cord but you can try it with the USB since you are in fastboot already. I am not sure if this will work with a USB cord though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 when you run it, use the one marked "Added a improved Root-Method by Ariel Berkman."

KFHD 8.9 Bricked

I was given this by a friend who tried rooting it and flashed a zip file instead of the bin file. Now it will not power on, however I am able to press power and volume button and windows will detect omap4770 in the device manager however it will disappear and then reappear over and over. I've tried to install the omap4770 driver but that doesn't seem to get it to stop disappearing and reappearing. My friend stated the usb short trick should fix it, I did order the factory cable from Amazon to get it into Fastboot mode. Is anyone able to assist me, or has had this problem before?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Its hard bricked, and fastboot cables don't work on 8.9" models, and the USB short trick is only for kindle fire 1's, ironically it basically makes the device show up how yours is already showing up, as a omap device, but unlike how we can use the omap device on the kf1, we can't on the newer models because the initial file we push has to be signed by amazon. If you can exchange it with amazon they might give you a free replacement, but since it was given to you I don't know. If amazon won't replace it there is a method in development for unbricking a hard bricked kf, it was initially meant for kf2, but should work on all kindles, but the person working on it needs a kindle fire 8.9 inch to try to make the fix for it, its kinda like a hardware mod, he's working on making a solderless version, anyways if amazon won't replace it he might be able to fix it and it would also possibly benefit the community in general.

What exactly did did you try to do after installing the drivers, also was the device you installed the drivers to initially called something like jem before or after you installed the drivers?

What I did was the following found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106463
Cordless (APK)
Instructions:
Download
Install on your KF2
Open Tweezermod Installer
Press install

What about the device you installed, was it called jem, if so you should be able to get into fastboot by running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" with the kindle off and unplugged, then plugging it in after the command prompt says waiting for device. From there you can just reflash it.

[Q] Can not get y Kindlefire to work

Hi all,
As a prerequisite to this, I don't know much about Kindle fires but I am tech savvy. That being said, my fiancee's mom gave her a broken kindle fire for free so assuming it's fixable, free kindle fire for us. After doing a lot of research I believe it to be in a bootloop. I've installed KFU and got the drivers.bat file to work (which took a long time). But now the ADB status is offline and the boot is unknown. When I go into my device manager there isn't even an android device on it. So I'm stuck here. If anyone has any suggestions I would be forever thankful.
Thanks all,
Keeps.

There are two methods to fix this:
1. Use soupkit
2. Use a factory cable to boy into fast not and use a USB cable for flashing a recovery

Can you further explain the second option as if I was 5 years old. Because I'm lost trying to decipher it. As for option 1 I really don't want to have to install linux.

And you called yourself a tech savvy...oh, the irony.

Hi Damystica,
Thanks for the reply. As you can see in my original post at the top I also stated I knew next to nothing about Kindle fires. Just because I'm tech savvy does not mean I know every term ever used by people talking about a product I stated I know nothing about. But thank you for your kind input on the thread and have a great night.
Thanks,
Keeps

Thanks Andro, I'll have to get my hands on a factory cable once I get my paycheck.
P.S. I discovered something new about the Kindle today. IT only boot loops when plugged into a wall, when plugged into my computer it only glows orange on the charger light but doesn't loop. Tonight I left it plugged into a wall just to see what would happen when I woke up it was sitting on at the unlock screen. When I unlocked it worked for about ten seconds before restarting itself and going back into a bootloop.

Which ROM are you runninf

BTW are you sure its a first gen kindle?
Sent from my finger to your face

I honestly have no idea. The Kindle was given to us in this broken state and I've never used it before. I'm not able to get my computer to recognize it either. So I'm basically lost on any information other than it's a first generation Kindle Fire.
Yes, I'm sure it's first gen.

Do you remember the lock screen?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app

All I really remember about it was it flashes Kindlefire for a few seconds and then it's like a darkish backround picture with a long yellow bar around the mid section that you swipe to unlock it. I can try and get to repeat itself to get to that point and get more details if need be. Sorry I can't say much it only stays there for a few seconds.

It is first gen then, but its not rooted huh?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app

As far as I know, no it is not rooted.

Anyone have any other ideas. I've doing hours of searching for fixes and nothing seems to work.

Umm... While its turning on try installing a recovery

Yeah. When I was in this situation, it was online for a few seconds while booting up and I installed TWRP during those few seconds using KFU in the dev thread. hope it works.

Or check whether their is any problem in the USB port

I had to install the new TWRP while I was in TWRP, my PC wold see the kindle but would not install it fully.
sometimes, you have to reboot several times but the actual install is quick.
then it reboots and you have a new recovery option during boot
