Bricked, What to do after factory cable. - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a first generation Kindle Fire, I have a functioning fastboot cable and have flashed a bad rom. When the android rom loads, it constantly gives this error that pops up after you dismiss it. That's beside the point however. When the fastboot cable is plugged it, the kindle goes into fastboot and I see the kindlefire logo. I believe this is what fastboot is and I have tried to use KFU but it reads that it is not connected. Then I put Ubuntu on a flash drive and tried using Soupkit. However, it still did not connect to the Kindle Fire. Any suggestions? I may have made an simple error but any input is greatly appreciated.

Did you install the drivers for your kindle fire?

In Linux you should just be able to install fastboot from the terminal.... Just open your terninal and type fastboot if it is not installed it will tell you
the command to install it... Let me know if this helps....Thx lj

After the kindle boots into fastboot, use a normal USB cable

[Q] Kindle Fire Brick (possibly FUBAR) Please help!!!

First of all, I search many threads but couldn't find help for my specific problem. I rooted my Kindle Fire 6.2.2. with TWRP. Upon trying to unroot it, it bricked. I downloaded Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.3. to fix this but my computer won't properly recognize my Kindle. It doesn't seem like a driver problem. All I can do when I plug in my Kindle is eject it. And when I try to install FireFireFire, I get this error "Oops...something went wrong. We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire. Make sure it is plugged in and powered on."
Please help! Thanks.

so you get an understanding of how these different pieces fit together.
I can't get a sense of where your problems begin. 1) TWRP is not used to root. 2) you never mention what your Kindle Fire is doing that you think it's bricked. 3) how did you manage to root it in the first place if your drivers weren't working?

Answers: 1. Rooted with BurritoRoot3 and also installed TWRP. 2. It is stucked on the Kindle Fire screen. 3. My drivers were working then and seem to be now. The problem is my computer won't recognize my Kindle. And when I go to Kindle properties, the manufacter, model number, and description all come up as unavaible and grayed out.

If you installed TWRP, then you also installed FFF. If by "Kindle Fire screen" you mean the yellow triangle logo and that's all you see when it starts up without it ever blinking black, then you are in fastboot mode. Use KFU to set it back to normal and reboot it. If that doesn't work, you need to check the device manager in Windows and make sure it shows "Android Phone -> Android ADB Interface" for your Kindle Fire. If the device manager does not show that, then you need to uninstall the drivers, remove the device from the device manager, disconnect the KF from your computer and follow these directions....

First of all. thank you for the help. And now my Kindle is stuck on the Kindle Fire screen.
Mine is stuck here too..been 3 days.. ordered the factory cable.. hopefully that works.
One thing I've noticed is that sometimes when the you try to issue fastboot commands in fastboot mode it doesn't register. But that doesn't mean you aren't in fastboot mode.
Get your command prompt ready (“ready" means that "fastboot" is in your present working directory)
Turn off your Kindle
Type "fastboot devices" (without quotes)
Turn your Kindle on
Hit enter to send fastboot command
Keep hitting UP arrow to bring up last command and keep hitting enter until your computer recognizes the Kindle. If it doesn't, start over and try again. When it does, then you can change your bootmode.
It WILL work, eventually. If it doesn't, the only other logical explanation is it's a driver issue.
Typically speaking (but not always), the only reason you should ever have to use a factory cable is if you killed your battery and you don't have enough juice to power the device. There are other reasons but they are extremely RARE.
And please forgive my frustration, but this is one of the simplest concepts to master. "Unbricking" your device shouldn't be this difficult...for anyone.

I notice in a post someone is seeing:
"Bricked mine too. It shows up as a USB COM port and spits out "READYREADYREADYREADY" until it disconnects itself. I think this means it should be possible to restore 5.3.2.1 via sp flash tool (or maybe another serial loader). If we can get the right files"
Is that the "Ready" you are saying means wait until fastboot?

[Q] Kindle Fire Really bricked

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.

Help! Possibly bricked Kindle Fire HD 8.9

Hey everyone
I think I've just bricked brand new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 :/
So, I'm new in rooting and I tried to install custom rom Cyanogen Mod 10.1 following the instructions from there: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fi...-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet/ .
After rooting Kindle, installing 2nd bootloader and TWRP my Kindle rebooted. It showed up Kindle Fire logo, first yellow then blue one. But after that nothing happened, it stucked at booting. So I entered to recovery mode by holding down volume up button and because of my stupidity I thought backing up system and restoring it will get me able to enter to original Amazon's system. After restoring system and rebooting worse thing happened. Logo while booting didn't turn from yellow to blue, it just stucked in yellow logo like it freezed. Now I can't enter anywhere in my Kindle, even in recovery mode and after plugging Kindle to PC through USB cable PC doesn't see Kindle. I think maybe using fastboot cable will help but I'm not sure about that, so I'm asking You: Is there anything I can do to restore my Kindle? And the fastboot cable will work with this software: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126?
Thanks for any help

(if you're bricked, you need fastbootcable?). that what i was told anyways
OK good news, you don't need a fastboot cable, in fact they don't even work on 8.9" models. The only problem is if you never have put the device in fastboot before while plugged into windows you are going to have a fun time trying to install the drivers... More or less plug the device is while it is off and have the device manager open already, you should see a jem device with a yellow triangle pop up for a moment, this is what you have to do, download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere. Now when that device pops up briefly, right click it, hit update drivers, and point it to where you extracted my drivers. If you can successfully complete this step the rest is easy, you just need to download a utility, like the one you asked if it would fix it(the answer is yes BTW). Extract the utility from its' zip file, hold shift and right click the folder that was extracted and hit "open command window here". Now with the device turned off and unplugged type this
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Press enter, once it says waiting for device then plug the kindle in while its off, it should go into fastboot. Once in fastboot you can use the SRT utility to fix it or kffa if you prefer.
Post above mine also makes skipping the entire try-to-install-driver-while-disappearing problem go away, instead you would reboot into windows after it goes into fastboot, still install the driver, and just run SRT.

Here is a tutorial that will show you how to install a 2nd bootloader and TWRP recovery.
2nd bootloader/TWRP install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175
Then choose a ROM made for the 8.9 Kindle Fire HD only and flash it.
If you wish to go stock then flashing the appropriate images in fastboot will be your plan. This requires setting up some SDK tools in your environment.

KFFA is another option as well.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Bricked
Can someone please provide me with some information. I tried to update the recovery for my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 running on cm10.2 using flashify which I found out now was a very lazy and dumb thing to do. Now my device is bricked its stuck at the white and orange kindle logo, my computer only recognize it for a split second and I can't boot into recovery.
My question to the experience members is if my device is done for or can the factory cable restore it? I tried creating one but it didn't get my device into fastboot mode and I also heard that it isn't compatible with the 8.9 series, I would like to know how true this is.
Thanks a lot.
You don't use a fastboot cable with a 8.9. It should when plugged in while off show up for a brief moment as a jem device. In this brief moment you must have the device manager open and right click the jem device hit update drivers and point it to where you would have downloaded and extracted the drivers in my signature. Once you manage to get the drivers installed shut off the kindle and open a command prompt that's CD'd into the directory of the fastboot command and run
Code:
fastboot -I 0x1949 getvar product
it should say waiting for device, at this point plug the kindle in with a normal cable and it should go into fastboot. I recommend a ubuntu live CD for this procedure because you don't have to deal with the driver issue, instead you just have to install the fastboot binary from the repo but it is fairly easy.

Can you explain step by step for techno-peasants how to fix my Kindle fire HD 8.9?
It flashes the words "kindle fire" for 14 seconds then goes dark and won't to anything else. I tried holding in the power button for 20; 30;40;60 seconds and that whole thing. I tested the charge in the battery. I'm past the easy fixes.
I'm at the point Kemoid was at above, ready to throw my Kindle Fire away and buy a new one.
I need the idiot proof directions that start with words similar to "Go to ww.somemagicURLwhereIcangetwhatIneedtodiagnoseandfixmyKindefireHD8.9.com and download xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx to your computer, then....."
Assume downloading an app reaches the limits of my technical comfort level.

Your in a bootloop. Just use the factory restore tool for the 8.9 and your USB cord.
I'm thinkin your kernel is messed up, probably just needs reflashing, I agree with LinearEquation, you just need to use the system restore tool or kffa and it should reflash that, if you can get into fastboot though you might need to wipe your boot partition. Try the SRT first though.

[Q] [Help] Red Screen Bricked KF2 [Have Fastboot Cable]

So I managed to brick my rooted Kindle Fire 2nd Generation after trying to install a rom with TWRP app. Anyways, I have a fastboot cable, and the correct drivers and Android SDK, but when I plug in my cable, turn off the device (holding button for 20 seconds), then turn back on, it still goes to red screen immediately after the brief kindle fire logo, exactly the same without fastboot cable. What am I dong wrong?
Would really appreciate any help .
-Thanks,
Jacoobyman
You sure the fastboot cable works? If it does I would keep the device manager open and see if it is briefly being recognized as a adb device or not. If it briefly detects it then I would attempt a "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", then plug the kindle into fastboot cable while off and see if that works, and yes I know that is typically meant for a 8.9" model but if its a weird circumstance then it couldn't hurt to try.

No it does not detect it at all in device manager. not even briefly. :/
That sounds bad, I don't trust windows too much for debugging but I'm guessing Linux would say the same thing, what were you trying to flash that caused this?

[Q] Help, stuck in a boot loop!

Hi, I just recently got a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and decided that I wanted to flash CM 11 onto it. Well I followed the steps of a tutorial up until the point where I have to flash a second bootloader and TWRP Recovery. I flashed and installed the script, but accidentally clicked the option to turn off and go into recovery mode or something. Now my Kindle is stuck in a boot loop where the Fire in kindle fire is red. The logo stays for a couple seconds then the kindle just restarts itself.
I've tried to go into fastboot mode using the command prompt "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" but when I connect my device, the computer does not see a thing. I do not know what else I can do at this point. I've looked up and read countless forums, but nothing has worked. Is there any way for me to recover my Kindle?
If it hasn't ever been in fastboot mode before while hooked up tot hat PC and had the drivers installed then it is precisely that reason the command is not working, because the drivers ade not installed. You can try to install them if that is the case, you just have to be fast and update the driver while the device is first plugged in and showing up for a brief moment. I personally recommend using a ubuntu 13.10 CD for this kinda case because of how Linux's driver system works you Don,t have to do anything, the driver already loads up when you plug it in.
