Hello, i was trying the omap4boot but i flashed using the kindle fire utility.
Now my kindle wont boot up. Any ideas?
Use a factory cable to flash the boot partition

the bootloader its self is required to even get into fastboot so your only fix may be pokey9ks usb_boot method

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:
Sorry for the confusion: I tried to flash pookey9000's omap bootloader, however, i flashed it wrong and now my kindle will not turn on or show any color on the power button. I dont think I can turn on the Kindle
What is the pookey9's usb boot fix thing?

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.

What do you mean by saying your KF has not FIREFIREFIRE?

First of all, FIREFIREFIRE doesn't just magically install itself. What did you use to root the device? I'm sure whatever you used to root your device installed FIREFIREFIRE.
And your Kindle isn't bricked, it's just in the wrong bootmode.

Uninstall/delete and reinstall your drivers and try again.

the 4sec interval signals to fastboot mode! You got to enter necessary commands during to stay in fastboot mode and flash the custom recovery TWRP and than re-install update.zip(kindle update bin renamed). consider the link below for twrp and root manual install plus relevant commanline,those commands will help to flash and boot into twrp mode after installing it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24129239
P.s.remember to point to the directory containing the fastboot and adb command files in my case c:/program files (x86)/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/ ALSo, in future to factory reset the device, install the kindle update.zip (renamed kindle update bin file downloaded from amazon kindle site)
how do i enter the commands? with a program if so give me a link to get it plz

With all due respect, had you invested the time to read the threads posted earlier, the answer would be pretty obvious.

Kindly read the linked thread it covers the state stuck on yellow fire sign screen
well how do i set up an adb? i dont understand
kindle fire utility 9.5
Remove and install your drivers for your kindle fire. Than install kindle fire utility found here in xda forums. Install and run the utility select option 1 and select normal 4000 boot mode. Plug in your kindle fire and turn it on. This worked for me. Booted right up just be patient it may take a few minutes.
what are the drivers and where do i find them and how do i reinstall them?

With all due respect, what on earth made you think it was a good idea to root the Kindle with such an obvious lack of computer literacy? Were you aware of the risks?
Your problem is simple to fix but it requires at least some basic working knowledge of a computer. Do yourself a huge favor and Google search "Kindle Fire USB drivers" to find out. And not to be hateful but I think it's highly unlikely that many people here would be willing to go through the arduous process of explaining how to install device drivers.
I would suggest doing some research on the matter and come back with a better foundation to work from.
Otherwise I think your best bet would be to revert back to stock and forget about rooting all together (requires research).

No never mind the previous post solved it I got the drivers right after I posted 2 days ago it is fixed and up and running now thank you for the trouble I forgot to post back :/
My kindle has no rom or recovery on it, and it is stuck in fastboot. ANY help is appreciated.
Same problem
I have the same problem with my Kindle Fire!!!

Thanks, but ...
Thank you for the answer.
But my main problem is, first time, when i used KFU and installed fastboot, the reboot prozess started, but nevermore ended.
I see just the Kindle Fire logo on the screen, and nothing happens. I turn it off (long power button press), and i it on ... Kindle Fire logo nothing else.
The thread what you recommended don't help me, because i can't attach my Fire to my PC. (ADB driver installed and worked well last time)
Sorry for my poor english.

You'll find, when you read the thread posted above, what the "stuck at Kindle Fire logo" means, along with what would cause adb and fastboot to fail connecting to your computer. You may have to read more than two paragraphs though.

Sorry, what you said doesn't make a whole lot of sense because you've attached a photo of a recovery screen that you claim to have wiped... and that's not even TWRP you have in your photo, that's CWMR. Maybe you'd like to go back a few posts and read the guide in the link that was provided earlier.
Then, you'll need to describe what you have installed on your device, what appears to be broken, and exactly where you are getting stuck int he process of reinstalling the Kindle Fire software.
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?
Cmon guys, any help?
KFU fully configured? USB driver installed? Kindle recognized?

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.

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.
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.

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
