I have the Kindle 8.9 HD with the front-facing camera. I tried to flash CM 11, but now it's stuck at the bootscreen. It has the orange and white boot screen and a second later, a pixelated white bar pops up on the left, then it stays frozen until I shut it down. Windows doesn't seem to detect it at all, and I can't seem to get fastboot mode except for in Ubuntu using Soupkit. However, even if I do manage to get it into fastboot on Soupkit, SK says the device is offline afterwards even though the tablet displays fastboot on the screen.
It should be said and might be obvious, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing. I spent a great deal of time reading into how to troubleshoot it myself. I do have previous experience with flashing roms on my Android phone, but that's about it.
Once it is in fastboot, reboot into windows and use kindle fire first aid. As I recall soupkit wasn't meant for 2nd gen kindles, only the kf1, but I could be mistaken, I use Ubuntu and know what I'm doing so I don't use these kinda things. Windows should detect the device as a jem device, so download drivers in my signature, extract them somewhere and in the device manager right click the jem device, hit update drivers, and point it to where you extracted mine. Once that is done kindle fire first aid should be able to reflash it.

Just like that. It's working! Didn't realize SK wasn't for 8.9, so when it didn't work, I stopped and just assumed it was fastboot on the tablet that wasn't working. I guess thinking it was hard-bricked might have been a bit dramatic.
Thanks, man! You're a lifesaver. You know your ****.

I'm tired of searching Google for answers and not finding them. So the problem is my Kindle Fire won't connect via USB to my PC, it will charge on it though. Now, this is where MY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT. Yes that is all caps for people who want to skip over these crucial details.
Kindle Fire was rooted, now it is not.
I do not have a Kindle Fire or Amazon device under device manager
Installing the adb drivers does nothing
I see nothing when Kindle Fire is plugged in to PC other than it is charging, NO MATTER HOW I DO IT
I feel like I'm forgetting some of the other more common answers that don't apply to me. Basically, I want to connect to my Kindle Fire to my PC but I have nothing on the PC end to recognize the Kindle Fire. It was rooted using the Kindle Fire utility 0.9.6, I unrooted using said utility as well and had to go and manually delete something IIRC so that it would boot normally into Kindle Fire, but it also not takes a lot longer to boot than it did out of the box. Is it possibly still rooted?
ALSO, Kindle Fire utility 0.9.6 can't find the Kindle Fire either.
What do I do?
Dou you have custom recovery installed?
I don't believe it did, or does. Whatever KFU put on it as standard is what it had on it. The most frustrating part of it is I don't have anything in Device Manager for it. No android phone, no Kindle/Kindle Fire, or Amazon, nothing. Installing the drivers does nothing, I even did a factory reset on the Kindle Fire and got nothing. I'm lost on this and I really want to put some books on my Kindle Fire so I don't have to read them on my iPhone.
When you boot your device, what does the boot logo look like (images, color, etc.)?
Kindle Fire logo, then blinks back on and glazes over from right to left and stays there for a while before turning on.

Orange and white Kindle Fire logo? Since you didn't specify I'll just assume that is correct.
Drivers are most likely the reason your computer won't detect the device correctly. Unfortunately with Windows, there is about a hundred solutions to this problem and none of them are effective enough to be called a real fix.
If you have a flash drive, you can set up a Linux LiveUSB and run SoupKit so you can issuee adb and fastboot commands, without dealing with Windows based driver problems and you can work to get to the root of your problem more effectively.

All right, do I need to download and install android sdk for Linux? Using terminal and looking for adb devices using the Linux LiveUSB with SoupKit didn't find any adb devices with the Kindle Fire plugged in. So I assume I need to download sdk to install drivers?

If you used the preconfigured iso no other steps are needed. Adb and fastboot are already setup. Time to consider your cable and or USB port that you are using.
Might be cable, plugged it into another computer (running windows) and it didn't see it.

Yeah, it was the cable, I'll have to go pick up one for myself.

Ok. Let me preface this with I know that there are many different forums/posts/discussions/whatevers concerning that the first generation Kindle Fire gets stuck in a bootloop. I have scoured the web and tried every solution I could find. The most recent one was using the soupkit to try and fix it. I even bought a factory cable to attempt to gain access to fastboot mode for the soupkit. With a normal USB cable, the soupkit recognizes the kindle fire with adb access. When I connect the factory cable, however, neither fastboot commands or adb commands work. The kindle fire has no animation at all and just stays at the white and orange kindle fire logo, regardless of a cable plugged in. The battery is charged, as indicated by the LED light and the fact that it will stay on when not connected to a power source. The kindle has been in this state for month, but if I recall correctly it was running Jelly Bean. Then, I was trying to get back to the stock Amazon OS. I flashed their files, but apparently that just bricked the kindle fire. Sorry for such a long post, but anything is worth trying at this point. I have access to all operating systems as far as computers go (Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows XP) Thank you in advance.

I think you tried to flash the stock firmware for the 2nd gen kindle fire. for the original kindle fire the firmware will always be in the 6.x.x range. for the second gen it will be in the 10.x.x range. I'm sorry to say though i'm not going to be any help here because i haven't ever hit a brick on my kindle (just on my Optimus V). If you look in the general section i think there is an unbrick utility though. Post results.
I do remember someone said that when they used kfu on xp it works fine. You may want to use it so that you can restore as kfu gas the ability to restore it.

hi.
after i rooted my kindle with success i restarted it and it stack to the boot logo screen.i cant see the kindle anymore as a device in the computer.when i connect my kindle it appears for 1 second to the hardware devices and then disappears.so i cant send any command through fastboot.anyone has any idea what to do so i can fix the kindle?i ve tried everything there is in this forum but with no luck
Try running this with your kindle unplugged and off,
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Once u run that it should say waiting for device, now plug the kindle in, and if it doesn't automatically power on, then power it on. It should go into fast boot I think. I am a bit unsure if it will because of the fact I don't own an 8.9" kindle, but I think I remember this method didn't work on the 7" model, but read it was more so intended for the 8.9" model. This would probably be more likely to work on Linux, because if you haven't installed the adb drivers before on fast boot, then I don't think windows will finish installing them before then device disconnects, but that's just what I think. Post results plz.

I agree that it's probably a problem with the fastboot drivers not being installed on your PC, so the tablet leaves fastboot mode.
Does the Composite ADB Interface driver on the 2nd bootloader guide include fastboot driver? Perhaps if you install it as a legacy device via device manager without the device connected, it will connect after?
Personally I had difficulty installing these drivers as I'm on Windows 8 which disables installing drivers that arent digitally signed by default, if you use this OS then you need to toggle this via advanced startup options first.
O yea I know windows 8 is a total pain when it comes to unsigned drivers, had to deal with that on my friends pc. You can always try an Ubuntu live CD since the drivers won't be an issue. Is it staying on the non animated logo or the animated kindle logo after the device disappears?

First off, your device is not in fastboot. Second, it is very unlikely that rooting alone would cause your device to hang at the Kindle Fire logo. Is there anything else that you attempted to do to your device before this happened?
Before getting to the appropriate solution, it would be beneficial to know what you used to root your device, whether or not you tried installing a custom bootloader/recovery, and what device you have in the first place.
i have a kindle fire hd 8.9" with 4.1 in it. i have followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105 so i can have root access. i used the binary method for the rooting.after i succesfully rooted the kindle i installed the astro file manager just for testing the root and it worked.then i followed the steps for installing the 2nd bootloader with twrp. it installed succesfully and i was able to boot in twrp mode. then i restart the kindle then it stack in the logo.thats pretty much all

If that doesn't work, you need to either fix your drivers in Windows, or use Linux (I believe he mentioned that as well)........Those are your only two options.
You'll need fastboot restore the partition images you saved in step one of the 2nd bootloader thread and start over.
at last.thanks a lot mate for your time and the tool you have created.i installed ubuntu then i used the soupkit and it finally went into fastboot mode and then i used kffirst aide and managed to make kindle work again.thanks so much.now i will try again to load the 2nd bootloader and install a custom rom.
My thread title pretty much explains what happened after I tried uninstalling some pre-installed apps (using Clean Master) in my Kindle Fire HD 8.9.
My question to XDA kindle owners... is the potential fix for my device just a 10 dollar factory cable away? Can my device be restored in factory setting once I get in to fastboot and find the Android equivalent of Windows system restore?
Sidenote:
1) 2 days ago I succeeded rooting my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with no issues. In that same day I installed setCPU to keep my device running at 1.5 Ghz. I admit... the only crazy thing I did with my device was attempting to uninstall pre-installed applications that came with my Kindle.
2) my desktop computer knows the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is being connected to USB... but a few seconds later it refuses.
Fastboot cables don't work on 8.9" models, you need to install the drivers when the device briefly is detected with the ones in my signature if it doesn't have them installed already. If/when they are installed you just need to so only turn the kindle off and unplug the cable and run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and when it says waiting for device plug the kindle in, it should then go into fastboot. From there you can restore it with kffa.

That's what it is supposed to do on the 8.9” model, you have to try to install the driver while it briefly appears. If you can't kffa might have something that will help, if not you can always do this from a Ubuntu live CD, which is easy because the drivers are built in, only thing you have to do is install the fastboot command from the repos, but that's easy as long as you use the 13.10 live CD.

Ah that's cause your on windows 8, you have to disable windows driver signature enforcement, look it up on Google, then try again. Also no offense but could you just tell me what the error is next time, I use the xda app on my kindle for the most part and I can't select those as links without opening it to my browser then copying and pasting it.

You need to disable the signature enforcement that both Windows 7 X64 and Windows 8 users have to deal with. This post covers it better than I can type it. http://www.fotoclubinc.com/blog/how...on-of-windows-7-printer-drivers-on-windows-8/
My status so far...
1. Install stunt513's driver with windows driver signature disabled..... check
2. run fastboot in command prompt ..... check (but "fastboot mode" logo on the screen is just there... not moving)
3. run KFFA 4.1.100 (RunMe.bat) ..... check
4. attempted to run 1. Device Diagnostics (Safe) >>> 1. Ready to Test ADB Communication
result...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037
* daemon started successfully
No changes happening and kindle fire is still in "fastboot mode" logo.
I'm not sure if I should take the next step in attempting to restore the kindle fire (option 4 in KFFA 4.1.100) because I might hardware brick it for real this time.
When using kffa I believed there is a option or question it asks you about putting it into fastboot mode for you or something, you need to tell it not to because it sounds like its just hanging on a adb command that cant execute because its in fastboot mode already.

I get the following error trying to install your driver: "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation."
I'm on a Win7 32-bit system. After downloading your zip, I extracted the files to their own directory and right-click the android-usb.inf file, which gives the above error. Can you point me to a solution? Thanks.
You are supposed to open the device manager, find the device with a triangle next to it, usually will say jem unless its not an 8.9" device, then it would say something like otter2, or Tate, right click it and hit update driver and point it to where you extracted it, then it should install.

It shows as jem, but on power-up it appears so briefly that I cannot install the driver for it. From power-on to device appearing to disappearing takes 1-2 seconds.
Yea you have to be fast, this is why I stick to Linux... Kffa might have a driver install option that installs to the driver cache on windows so it would auto install the driver when detected, at least after you hit skip obtaining from Microsoft update. Not sure about that though as I have never used kffa.

that makes it more difficult, probably because you repaired the KFU zip
try fixing drivers, then try
redownload KFU from the Mega link
connect Kindle
run KFU's run.bat
select install twrp
if nothing happens, may need to power down kindle, and power back on
may need to restart KFU a few times
if that does not work
may need to use fastboot manually see my Fastboot.exe with Windows Command Prompt
did you try to open your kindle by pressing your power button for about 15 - 20 sec.?

You didn't listen to me. My kindle won't connect to the computer any more since it can't finish booting. Meaning I can't install anything on it. The kindle drivers are fine. The kindle is half rooted due to the rooting fail.

Q16: What does it mean when my device is stuck at the Kindle Fire logo?
It depends on which Kindle Fire logo you're talking about. If you're talking about the Kindle Fire logo that stays brightly lit without any change in brightness, it means the device is in fastboot mode. Just change the bootmode to normal or recovery and reboot. If you are unable to change the bootmode, then you need to fix your drivers. If the Kindle Fire logo you're talking about flashes and goes dim after being brightly lit for a few seconds, then your device is trying to boot normally to a malfunctioning operating system, likely caused by not wiping the data partition (factory reset) before flashing a ROM. If that's the case, you will likely need a factory cable to get into fastboot mode so you can access or (if needed) install custom recovery, then reinstall a ROM properly.
