Hi. I just got a Kindle Fire 6.3 that I rooted recently through instructions from this site. Worked like a charm. I then installed CM7 and decided that I didn't like it, so I removed it. I restored to the backup I made before installing CM7. It worked fine after that. To save space, I went into the root and deleted the backup and rom files that I didn't think I needed anymore. I called Amazon because I was having trouble streaming videos from the amazon video store. So... they told me to do a factory reset. Now it keeps booting into the TWRP menu and won't go any further. After this, my Windows PC also no longer recognizes my Kindle, ever after reinstalling drivers from the Kindle Fire utility. I have the Kindle 6.3 update, but I can transfer it to my Kindle's root since my PC can't see the Kindle. My PC makes the noise when I connect and disconnect the Kindle, but I can't access it. Any ideas? PLEASE HELP!!!

Try it if not uninstall the drivers in device manager then reinstall

Try going to where fast boot drivers are located ie. Sdk/tools etc. Open command print there and type "fastboot devices" (no speach marks).
See what you get.

you need to mount your device as usb storage. its not in fastboot, its in recovery lol
adb devices should make it pop up. than adb idme bootmode 4000.
twrp is your issue, and will continue to cause issues like this for you and others!

How do I mount the device as USB storage? Device is online with kfu, but the boot menu says "The system cannot find the drive specified." I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and nothing. Even when trying to reinstall twrp, it's stuck on activating fast boot (4002).

Thanks, all! Mounting to storage worked. I just copied the kindle 6.3 zip update to the root and installed. Everything works fine now! Thanks again!
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.
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.

I accidentally wiped the OS yes I know it was stupid but it was long time ago and I don't remember why. Anyways, the kindle fire is stuck in the logo screen and will always stay like that (until I turn it off). I can't seem to do anything with it. I'm on my linux live cd typing this. I am using ubuntu and I tried the Soupkit. It didn't work because it said my device was offline. I don't know what to do. I tried switching cords but it did not do anything. Now I did successfully install the Google usb driver for the kindle fire on my windows, And when I go to My Computer I see the kindle but you cant click on it. When I tried using KFU it said my device is online but it still didn't help me recover because it failed to get the downloads necessary. I am open and thankful for your suggestions. Thanks.
You need a factory cable to get into fastboot since you don't have access to the shell.

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.

And before plugging it in, did you make sure your device was completely powered down (held the power button for 10-15 seconds)?
Yes, absolutely. Tried it several times always returning to the System Recovery Screen.

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.

You must be on windows 8, you need to disable driver signature enforcement. Google it.

It's rebooting now...fingers crossed!!!
IT WORKS!!!
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.
