Got stuck in the Kindle Fire boot screen

My kindle fire runs on Rooted Kindle Fire stock ROM downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569298.
Yesterday I tried to install twrp using KFU0.9.6 and it says the MD5 check sum failed deleting the files.
Then it worked fine. After that i turn it off my Kindle fire. And I turn it on after some time. From that moment it got stuck in Kindle Fire boot screen.
Then I tried to connect my device to PC and launched KFU0.9.6 and it is saying my Device is offline
Could someone help me to resolve this issue???
Hard boot then boot into recovery.....then flash your stock ROM backup. You made a backup, right?

Im having the same problem... How can i boot into recovery mode if the Kindle Fire utility isnt detecting the device unless its literally on?
try this
Hi
I had the same problem... Try this:
Download the 'Kindle Fire Utility' unzip it and run install_drivers.bat
Plugin the kindle and make sure nothing is unrecognized in the Device Manager
Open a command prompt and enter the following two lines
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
(If fastboot cannot be found switch to the "kindle fire Utility" folder into the Tools directory)
Afterwards you can run the utility and install the latest "TWRP Recovery" and "FireFireFire". I've been stuck there in the installation: Don't plug-out your kindle, just reboot it a few times (keep the power-button pressed for at least 10sec)
Hope this helpes

Custom rom without Fire fire fire utility?

Guys, please help! I have installed cyanogenmod rom on my Kindle fire 1st gen and don't install Fire fire fire utility. Currently Kindle Fire Utility shows ADB status: Online but Boot status: unknown. I want to install new custom rom but can't get into TWRP. If I choose from rom's power menu reboot into recovery it only reboots to cyanogenmod, can't enter recovery with button either.
You should try to change the boot mode to fastboot through adb and then try fastboot reboot recovery to try and get into recovery that way, might work.

So if i use adb shell idme bootmode 4002 and then fastboot reboot recovery it will enter in recovery? Will i need to reboot between these two commands?

[Q] (PLEASE HELP) Kindle won't pass bootloader

My kindle has an otterX (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2671619 ) and i just get the Kindle Fire logo and press to open bootmenu. I cannot boot into revoery for some reason and upon clicking continue boot the kindle fire just shuts off. i can't figure out what i need to do to get it unstuck from this situation or if i can throw it into fastboot. when sitting in the bootmenu the kindle shows up in Device Manager as a Kindle Fire (below when Kindle Fire is clicked) and then Android composite ADB Interface. Would rekindle work? i seriously don't want this kindle to be bricked/broken.

When that has happened to me it was from a incompatible recovery or corrupt recovery.
when you see the bootloader it is in Fastboot mode.
just reflash a recovery like otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img
in command prompt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img
fastboot reboot
still confused...
i am getting an error saying it cannot open the file.

i've gotten TWRP to install. i couldn't get the otterX one i needed to install so i installed one i downloaded else where. i was originally wanting KitKat on here but don't want that fiasco to happen again. unfortunately now i cannot boot normally. just gets to the Kindle Fire Logo and restarts.
Is the bootloader set to amazon or otters partitions?
Sent from my Amazon OtterX using Tapatalk
i think it's on amazon. however upon reading some articles of what i was doing the version i have now isn't able to haandle what im doing so i have to update twrp.
You need to pick a direction otterx, or other custom ROM, or stock
Sent from my Amazon OtterX using Tapatalk
using the updated version of twrp thats compatible with installing KitKat will that be possible to leave it amazon or would i need to use otterX for CM11 KitKat?
You can install whatever you want, just need to tell me so I can give correct directions.
You need to check Bootloader settings, advanced does it say amazon or or otterx partitions
Sent from my Amazon OtterX using Tapatalk
i don't see a way to check that. im using the fff-u-boot v1.5 bootloader i believe (not to sure, pretty new to android and rooting) (with openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze (need to update downloaded 2.8.0.2-blaze already) sorry for my being a noob with this. your helping a ton though :highfive: .
1.5 FFF is not otterx just otter
flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-blaze.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-blaze.img
fastboot reboot
in TWRP Wipe/factory reset
install cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10-otter.zip
and PA MINI MODULAR PACKAGE GApps
in TWRP
im having an issue getting into fastboot mode. i've tried restarting my kindle and running fastboot commands. the command to install the updated twrp is still saying waiting for device.
When you see Bootloader it's in fastboot mode
Could be a drivers issue.
When I flash, I usually start with connecting USB cable, then power off kindle, run commands, reboot kindle

The Fastboot mode finally loaded. had to pull the device manager and begin process of pointing out driver and shut off the kindle and as it hit the bootloader point i had to install driver. i believe my issues have been resolved. It booted up KitKat just now. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! :victory: :highfive:
Do you have backup?

[Q] My fire won't exit fastboot

Hi, I was running CM11 on a rooted Kindle Fire HD 8.9 happily but decided to take the CM12 nightly and it's not gone well.
It installed but wasn't running correctly, here's where I made my mistake. Instead of waiting until I had a PC to hand, I did a factory reset on the kindle itself (i'm an idiot!).
Now, the kindle will start up into fastboot mode and take some commands but that's it. No recovery, no adb.
I have the android SDK installed along with google usb drivers and the amazon kindle usb drivers. The device appears on the PC (no yellow triangle, I'm running windows 8.1 and the driver is signed).
With fastboot, I can flash a boot and recovery image but I can't then restart the device in recovery mode or standard boot.
a fastboot reboot stays in fastboot mode. any volume and power button combinations won't take it into recovery.
i tried fastboot oem unlock but that doesn't get a response from the device.
I have the kindle SR tool utility (v 1.3.5). It can flash the images to the device but any attempt to reboot will always take it back into fastboot.
I've read countless articles but I'm now stuck. Have I killed my fire?
Thanks, Mike
"fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery" should reboot your kfhd into recovery. From there you can wipe system, recovery and data and re-install recovery, cm11 and gapps assuming the zip files are still on your device. Or you can erase and re-flash everything using fastboot commands. If all else fails you can first return it to stock KFHD OS using the system recovery tool. All you need is to get it into fastboot mode which it sounds like you can.

In my situation (Kindle fire HD 8.9 amazon OS 8.1.5) after install TWRP 2.6.0.0, the device is not loaded (always orange logo kindlefire at all) me helped Wipe> format data, after I then sent image cm-11 for devices, `adb push cm-11.zip /sdcard/`, and wipe cache and install cm-11 are successful.
Installing TWRP only for fastboot mode, in the fastboot mode `adb` command dont work, only `fastboot...........` command.
I hope something helped.
