[Q] Kindle Fire Stuck in Yellow Triangle After Attempted Root

Hello,
I just received a Kindle Fire and decided to root and install Cyanogenmod. I found a tutorial which I thought looked pretty straightforward on Lilputing. I downloaded the Kindle Fire Utility and followed both the utility and the article told me to do. After installing TWRP 2.0, disaster. I rebooted the device and the Kindle read, "press power button for recovery," and showed a yellow triangle with a fire icon in the middle. I pressed the power button, and nothing happened. At this point, I rebooted. The device would not get passed this screen, and my PC would not recognize the Kindle. I presume I bricked my device, however (as I do not have any experience in this field) I honestly have no idea what I did, nor do I know where to go next. Any suggestions? Please help!

I'm stuck too. And i cannot install the driver because it is an unknown device.

Try this:
1) Download v6 of the Kindle Fire Utility from here. (The forum thread can be found here)
2) Extract the files into a folder anywhere (but remember where, obviously)
3) Go into the folder, then into 'drivers' and open up adb_usb.ini in a text editor and add "0x18D1" (without the quotes) on a line underneath "0x1949"
4) Open up Device Manager and find "kindle". It should have a yellow triangle near it.
5) Download fastboot.exe from here
6) Open up command prompt and navigate to wherever you saved fastboot to.
7) Run the command "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000"
8) Power off your device by holding down the power button for ~10 seconds and turn it back on, and this time don't hit the power button to go into TWRP. It should move past the yellow triangle after a few seconds and boot into Kindle. Hope this helps!

Thank you!
I did, however, find a solution using the Kindle Fire Utility.
With my device connected to my computer, I selected Change BootMode. Next, I chose Normal. That brought me out of the frozen boot screen, so I decided to wing it and flashed Cyanogenmod, and that worked. Thank you anyway for your time.

For me 7 resulted in a device not found, though I fixed this by rebooting the kindle (I guess fastboot mode ends at some point?)
So after I fix this - how do I get into TWRP? Trying to install it from the utility does not work!!

Unfortunately, I don't know. I've been trying to get in TWRP all night and have been unsuccessful. I knew how to get out of this issue because I've put myself here several times tonight, trying to get TWRP to start up...so far, no luck...

I had same problem. Kept booting to "press power button for recovery" but never went to recovery. I had to download and install FireFireFire manually after i installed twrp. Now works great. Just power off then hold power button in for few seconds (until it turns orange) when powering back on, release, then there's twrp.

THANK YOU! This fixed the problem, I just had to find the thread that was ONLY FireFireFire, and not combined with TWRP, since that hadn't worked for me. I included instruction below for anyone having similar issues:
I downloaded the u-boot.win from here then ran
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin
at which point it sait "Waiting for device". So I rebooted the Kindle like had the last several times that's appeared and it flashed it and then I rebooted again and I held down the power button, and it turned amber, like it had earlier, except THIS time it actually booted into TWRP!! Hooray! Hope this helps anyone else having this issue.

I tried this and it won't work, what am I doing wrong ?
Why is there a step 4? Is it only there so I check if kindle shows up or do I have to update its driver so there is no yellow triangle anymore?
EDIT:
So I managed to get it running. What I did is I added the "0x18D1" as in step 3 but after that I opened my device manager and by clicking on kindle (that has yellow triangle next to it) I updated its driver. I chose the location of adb_usb.ini that I edited. After that I ran Kindle Fire Utility and chose option 1 (Boot mode) and in the following menu I tried all of the options. In the option 3 (Recovery) it did something and now every time I boot kindle it goes to the yellow triangle but by pressing power button once it starts normal boot.
Ok, but still I would like to get it completely back to normal if possible so if anyone can help, thanks

It is supposed to show the recovery triangle EVERY time you reboot.
Just don't touch anything and it will continue to boot on its own to the OS.
The only time you should do something different is if you want to boot into recovery, then you push the power button until it turns orange and let go, it will boot into the TWRP recovery.
You really shouldn't need reboot the machine often. I do it maybe once every couple days at most.

To remove TWRP and go back to the stock Amazon ROM, all you have to do is flash the stock Amazon firmware. Use Kindle Fire Utility v.7 to download the stock update.zip, copy the file to the SD card, boot into recovery, and install it.

I had this same problem a few days ago. I fixed it by going into Device Manager, finding the device called "kindle" (it had a yellow triangle next to it) and manually installing the ADB drivers. You can't search for drivers automatically, you have to manually specify the "ADB Composite Interface" or something to that effect.

I have also had this issue, thought it was because I was using a 64 bit windows 7 system.
I had previously installed cyanogenmod 7 using destructions from this forum, and I have also done something similar with my Galaxy S2 (I mention this, because this may be why the drivers havent worked?)
Anyway, I added the line above, then rebooted my PC (twice), and then unplugged my kindle fire and rebooted. I then plugged it in to the PC and it came up as "kindle" in device manager, but had the exclamation mark warning. I clicked update driver and found the updated usb.ini file. Windows did its stuff and then it appears as Android bridge device.
The kindle wa still stuck at the yellow triangle, but selection the fastboot menu option 1, then boot normal and it worked a charm.
Persevere and dont give up!
Thanks to the great advice on this forum, everything becomes easy, once you have found the right posts!

I am having this problem and have gone back to install FireFireFire manually but I still get stuck at "press power button for recovery". If I leave it alone it eventually boots as normal. If I press and hold the power button for a few seconds, it turns orange but never does anything. Any ideas?
I should mention that I'm running Ubuntu Linux - no access to Windows so KFU is not an option. My Fire is at version 6.3 and I've been roughly following the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568340

Kindle Fire stuck in TWRP boot loop, wont mount, not recognized.

I foolishly let someone try to root my Kindle Fire, and now it is stuck in what seems to be the TWRP boot loop (the kindle fire is blue and white). If I leave it alone unplugged it will occasionally continue to the Kindle Fire orange and white screen but will not go any farther. From the Blue/white screen I can hit the power button to enter the boot menu where I get Normal Boot, Recovery, and Reset Boot Mode. I can enter TWRP recovery menus, but otherwise it just keeps rebooting. Once in the TWRP recovery screen I can only navigate for a short time before it locks up and I have to reboot by holding the power button in. The sd card will not mount, and they did not backup anything before they started messing with the os. Ive tried the Kindle Fire utility but it says device not found. The Kindle showed up in my device manager as Other-Kindle before I installed the android drivers mentioned in another thread, and now it is under Android Phone- Android ADB Interface. It doesnt show up in My Computer at all. I've read about the factory cable but cant find on in the US so it would take 2 weeks to get here from China. Any suggestions on how to fix this, or do I now have a $200 paperweight? Thanks in advance.

Maybe go into twrp and do a factory reset. Can you get to that menu? Click wipe and then factory reset.

I've tried the factory reset but it seems to have no effect on it. How do I do the adb push? I've tried using the command prompt to run some of the commands on other threads but I'm not doing something right. I always get an 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file error.
I'll apologize now for my stupidity on this one- I have never worked with android software before this.
The kindle fire utility reads:
ADB status: Offline
Boot Status: Unknown
I can get it to boot in normal and recovery mode, but each time I try to boot in Fastboot I get an error message 'Oops... something went wrong. We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire. Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.' The Kindle shows up in Device Manager under Android Phone as Android ADB Interface
When using the twrp, anything that involves writing to or wiping the sd card receives this error E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)
I'd appreciate any help I can get. I'm at a standstill on this one.

im in the same position you can open it as a USB by selecting mount in TWRP and selecting mount USB Storage

do you have drivers / ADB on your computer ?
I did manage to get my kindle go into a recovery boot loop by doing the root procedure for the original 6.3 original Amazon ROM while my kindle had the 6.2 ROM . After i realized that the root procedure (intended for ver 6.3) didn't work for me, I had to try the procedure for rooting ver. 6.2.
It worked but after a couple of resets, the tablet went into a recovery boot loop.
what i did was to use ADB comands:
enter windows - > start command prompt (start - > run -> cmd)
check if kindle is connected: adb devices
if the device is found then use:
adb shell
su
idme bootmode 4000
exit

Hi all, I'm having a problem with my Kindle Fire. It is automatically booting into TWRP no matter what I do.
I have wiped everything, and installed the stock ROM, and when I reboot it just goes back to TWRP.
There is always a message of *verifying file system and *verifying partition. I can mount it and move files via USB.
In the fire utility it reads
ADB Status: Online
Boot Status: Unknown
If I try to change the bootmode it comes back waiting for device. I then got into the command line.
Doing "adb devices" shows it as being in recovery. I can reboot it from here, but goes right back to twrp.
I tried to do the adb shell--> su--> idme bootmode 4000
but after I do the shell it comes back that "su" isn't valid. I'm assuming I am doing something wrong, but I can't
for the life of me figure it out...any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

At startup hold thepower button untill you see the bootmenu come up and select "normal boot"

On the Kindle itself you mean? There is no bootmenu. I get the Kindle Fire (Orange) text, then goes straight to twrp, and if I do normal reboot from there, just straight back to twrp.

Tried it, no go.

This is what I get in the command line

The "<[6n" is likely the result of pressing the up or down arrow with number lock turned off and it is causing the command to be unrecognized.

Regardless, there's no need to use the "adb shell su -c..." command to get into fastboot. Instead use Pokey9000's bootmode binary "fbmode".

As you can see, the "adb shell" command is successful because of the change in the prompt.
~ # <-indicates the shell is working and active, so the actual /path of adb is irrelavent.

Kindle fire stuck on boot logo...the device is corrupted?

Hi,
I tried to install the original ROM by TWRP but the process stopped and the kindle fire rebooted.
Now it is stucked on orange boot logo.
When I try to invoke ANY command on KFU, on the screen appears the message <waiting for device>
When I try to invoke ANY "fastboot" command manually, on the screen appears the message <waiting for device>
If I delete the windows drivers and plug the device, I can see the memory but I can't read the content and I can't write any file.
If I install the drivers from the KFU folder (install_drivers.bat), the devices is recognized correctly by the system, but I can't see the memory on pc resources(only on system)
Anyone has some ideas or suggestions in order to install TWRP or the original ROM On my kindle?
Could I solve my problem by a factory cable?
Thanks in advance

It's going to be important for you to figure out where your device is in the booting process when it gets stuck...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668159
If by "memory" you mean the storage area in the /sdcard partition and it can be mounted on the desktop, you are not going to be in fastboot mode. If it's trying to boot into the system software but it doesn't quite get there, you need to see if you can use an appropriate "adb shell" command to change the bootmode to fastboot. If you can't do that, your next best option is probably to get a factory cable and see if your bootloader can be put into fastboot mode. If what I just said in this paragraph doesn't make any sense to you, take a good look at the guide mentioned in the beginning of the post above.

The "memory" are the storage area of my Kindle, and it can be mounted on the desktop but is not accessible.
I have tried to boot the system in all fastboot mode (4000, 4002, 5001) but the system shows the <waiting for device> message. I have tried to activate the fastboot also using "adb" command, but I have the same result.
I could reinstall TWRP or the original ROM with the factory cable? When I plug my kindle by the factory cable my pc can communicate with it?

Recognizing fastboot mode
The Display - As the bootloader loads up on the device, one of the previously mentioned bootlogos will appear on the display. With fastboot mode enabled, that bootlogo will be persistent and remain bright on the display. If the display blacks out and redisplays the bootlogo with the backlight slightly dimmed, the bootloader has bypassed fastboot mode and moved on in the boot process.

Now, are you in fastboot or not?

The orange logo is persistent on the screen, but if i press for 20 sec the power button on reboot the display shows the orange logo, then the display blacks out and redisplays the bootlogo with the backlight slightly dimmed.
I think thant the kindle not is in fasboot mode...is correct?

No, it's not in fastboot mode. Use the Fastboot guide I referred to earlier and try to get the system to set the bootmode to fastboot. This is your next best option to getting the device fixed. I'm pretty sure you have an unrooted stock device, so you'll have to use pokey9000's fbmode. If you can't get it to fastboot mode this way, you need a factory cable. If you don't have a factory cable and you can't make or buy one, then the only option you have left is to open up the case and use Firekit. All of this is detailed in the Fastboot guide. I highly recommend you try using the factory cable.
Once you get the device into fastboot mode, you'll need to follow this guide to flash TWRP and FFF again...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452
Once you've done that, the same guide contains instructions on how to revert back to the stock software. Follow those instructions carefully and it will walk you through the process.

Kindle fire stuck on boot logo...the device is corrupted? [SOLVED]

I have an other problem. In Kindle Fire Utility the kindle is always offline, and the boot status is unknow (and I can't install FFF and EX Launcher...)
I tried to reboot in normal mode or fastboot mode with KFU and "fastboot" command, but my pc show <waiting device> message.
What kind of command I need to use?

The KFU problem is due to driver issues with Windows.
If you are booted normally, you can use the command line or Pokey9000's bootmode binaries from a terminal emulator to change your bootmode.

I tried this and it stopped the boot looping but stuck on the Boot Logo. I used the unbrick method and it went back to boot looping. I have restored my KF several times in the past but this one has really stumped me. I have never had this problem. Are there any other solutions out there?

[Q] Stuck on Yellow Triangle Without Recovery Option (Was: Is it bricked?) [Fixed]

I rooted and installed an ICS ROM several months back on my Fire. One morning the wife brings it in and says my son got it stuck in some weird mode. Turns out it is stuck on the TWRP yellow triangle and does not seem to be able to get into recovery mode. I have done that several times before so I am pretty confident I am not messing that up. Just the power button never turns orange and eventually the device just turns off. My computer see the USB device but ADB does not. I did `android update adb` and then added '0x1949' to '~/.android/adb_usb.ini'. Do I have any options left or is it bricked?
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this. Especially to any who can reply with suggestions.

Download TWRP and FFF1.4

ADB will not work because you're in fastboot mode. Use fastboot commands to install the new TWRP and change the bootmode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
fastboot oem idme bootmode 5001
Hold the power button to perform a hard shutdown and restart the device. You should then be able to launch recovery using the power button. If not, you'll have to flash the bootloader as well. If this is the case, be extremely careful you don't pull the USB cable during the flash or you will really brick your device.
Also, it is very important to know that the version of FFF you'll download comes in a .zip format to be flashed in recovery. Don not flash the .zip file directly to your bootloader partition. Instead, unzip it and find the "fff-u-boot_v1.4.bin" located in the cache folder and flash it.
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader /path/to/fff-u-boot_v1.4.bin
fastboot reboot
If you were able to access recovery just by reinstalling it with the first command, push the FFF1.4.zip file to your sdcard and flash it in recovery. Just remember not to wipe anything before installation. That will help you to fix your bootmode problems a lot easier in the future by holding the power button untill the boot options appear at the bottom.

Thank you! I am back in recovery!

[Q] Kindle Fire stuck on splash

Hey all!
I came across a Kindle Fire here at my work that someone left behind. It gets power and when turned on I get to the Kindle Fire splash screen and that is where it stays.
I read on Amazon's website that holding the power button for 30 seconds should hard reset the device, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Is there any secrets out there to completely reset this thing?
I doubt it is rooted in any way or running anything custom.
Thanks for any help!

I just set up ADB on my Mac and I think I can see the device in it. I think that is a good sign.
Does "USB Debugging" have to be activated in the first place to even use ADB? Because I have no way of getting in the OS to activate it, but it's still showing up in the list of attached devices.
EDIT: Running the commands
$ ./adb reboot
$ ./adb reboot bootloader
$ ./adb reboot recovery
All of those send the tablet into a reboot but nothing more. Still hits the splash screen and never into the bootloader or recovery.

Enter...
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Hold the power button to shut it off then start it up again (you do have fastboot, right?). Let's see where that gets you.

My brother recently did this to his KF and I downloaded a lot of stuff and troubleshot a lot of stuff I thought it could be. Turns out I just needed to changed the fastboot mode with the Kindle Fire Utility. Download that, run the .bat, and for me it used the first option to change the fastboot mode.
