Hey Guys,
I successfully rooted my kindle fire 8.9" a while back and a few days ago decided to follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105 to install the twrp/custom rom.
In fireflash I moved the bootloader back to 8.1.4 and changed the boot and recovery partitions accordingly. I disabled the recovery auto update. I applied the changes and rebooted (I saw the red kindle fire letters and then it changed to the blue letters). It went into the TWRP screen at which point the guide told me to reboot. I found a "reboot to recovery" option and clicked it. Apparently, this was a very bad thing to do. The kindle boots to the Kindle Fire logo in red letters and stays there. it doesn't go blue and nothing moves. It stays that way until I turn it off.
It no longer will show up in Device Manager at all, but if I turn it on while plugged into the computer, the computer makes fast bump sounds like it sees the device for a second.The first time I plugged it into a different computer windows said it was trying to install a driver for "Jem-PVT-Prod-04" but then the driver installation failed and it doesn't show up in the device manager even with an exclamation mark.
Using different adb tools (Minimal adb and fastboot, kindle adb drivers, and android sdk) yields no response from the device even with a factory cable (which I purchased and arrived this morning). Fastboot just says < waiting for device > after the command "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product"
Adb kill-server followed by adb devices leads to a blank list of devices. (I also went into user/.android/ to change the adb_usb.ini file to 0x1949 (which it already was)
I tried KFHD SRT v2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 but it can't see the device either.
At this point, I don't know what can be done and am open to trying everything.

Just to confirm that you're doing it correctly...have you powered the device completely down, entered 'fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product', and then turned the device on? And still no luck?
BTW, the factory cable will not work with the KFHD8.9 and can possibly damage it. Don't use it.

Correct, I tried fastboot with the kindle 8.9 off, on,off then on, and on then off. None of these does anything except sit and say < waiting for device >.
Thanks for the heads up on the factory cable. It didn't seem to do anything any different anyway but is unplugged now.

I've run into relatively the same problem with my HD8.9 several times while testing scripts but I've always been able to enable fastboot after rebooting using 'getvar product'. The difference in my case, is that I was always using Linux. You may want to set up a LiveUSB and install the SoupKit from the Dev section and try again to see if it makes a difference. SoupKit is not required, of course, but it is definitely recommended if you're not very familiar with Linux.

Are you running windows??? If you are.... when your kindle is powered down and you type in the fast boot commands, go into device ,manager and see if your kindle shows a yellow triangle next to it. Reply asap.

Brandonrz,
It does not show up in the Device manager when off, when I send fastboot commands, or when on. It will however show up as Jem-PVT-Prod-04 for ~1 second if I have device manager open and I turn on the kindle (regardless of whether or not a fastboot command was sent).
@soupmagnet,
my flashdrive was dead so I just picked up a new one. Putting linux on it now.

For those who may be in same situation here is what I did.
Go to device manager. For that second, try to Right click on Jem-PVT-08 and choose update driver software, then browse my computer for driver software, then let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. I moved down list and picked Kindle and it installed as adb composite interface or something like that. Once installed the device manager showed "Kindle" and my fastboot was working. I've had the issue before. I hope this helped!
Glorious Success!
So I ended up doing a combination of the two solutions and since I know how frustrating this was here's how I did it just in case someone stumbles upon this.
How it magically worked:
1.) Inside of Linux Mint, I installed Soupkit
2.) In terminal i typed "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product"
-----The kindle reacted for the first time in a long time and went into fasboot mode. Since I had no idea where to put the boot.img or recovery.img in linux to send them but the fastboot or adb commands, I decided to risk it and move to windows.
3.) I unplugged the kindle
4.) Booted into Win 7 x64
5.) The fastboot wasn't working in windows but I checked device manager and the exclamation mark was lingering. I manually picked the driver of amazon.com/kindle and it installed the adb composite device. Fastboot now works in windows.
5.) ran SR Tool.bat in the KFHD_SRT_2.1 folder and chose option 1 (Enable Fastboot)
-----Success
6.)in SR Tool i chose option 4 (erase cache and userdata)
----Took ~4 minutes but success
7.) in cmd I navigated to my sdk platform tools folder by typing "cd C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130522\sdk\platform-tools"
8.) I downloaded the boot.img and recovery.img linked here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126) and placed them into C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130522\sdk\platform-tools\
9.) in the cmd from step 7 I sent the following commands "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img"
----Great Success
10.) In SR Tool I chose option 6 (reboot normally)
-----It looped for ~2 minutes but eventually booted like normal but the SR_Tool asked me to make sure that adb was enabled before clicking enter. I enabled it on the device but SR Tool still didn't seem to see that I had done it. Since it rebooted normally, I didn't really care.
11.) The kindle upgraded itself after I set it down to type this response to 8.4.3
I probably could have easily done this is linux, but I didn't know where to put the boot.img and recovery.img. Also, I'm guessing that the system.img is put back on the device when I used the KFHD SRT but I'm not sure.
Now I'm going for round two to get CM 10.1 put on this thing!
Thanks for all of the help. I really thought that I had actually managed to brick the nearly unbrickable kindle fire 8.9"
Congrats on your success and thanks for sharing the experience!
I think one problem with Windows is that, "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" does not work very well on putting the kindle to fastboot if the device driver is not properly installed, kindle will simply bypass the fastboot step and continue(and hang), the whole situation is a dead loop on Windows if the fastboot driver is having problem and the kindle can't boot into the ROM, and to make things even worse, there is no factory cable for HD8.9
So the SoupKit is a real life saver here.
I had the same sort of driver problem after I installed the second bootloader. For me the simple fix was to go into device manager (In Windows 7), uninstall whatever driver was there with the yellow triangle and then reinstall the official kindle adb driver. Congrats on getting it fixed though. It's a great feeling, I know.
Worked form me too!

Thanks much for your pointer. In my case the Kindle showed up as an "Other devices" and I was able to use "browse my computer ..."->"let me pick from a list"->Kindle fire->ADB(ver 1.3).
You are awesome.

Turned out it was a driver compatibility issue with Windows 10. It doesn't recognize the Kindle HD 8.9 properly. Moved it over to a Windows 7 machine and it was working, up until i attempted to flash a new recovery and boot .img . Now it's stuck on the red Kindle logo and computer won't pick up the USB. Halp!

Power off the Kindle, type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product , plug in the Kindle when you get <waiting for device>, and flash the 2nd bootloader, recovery, and freedom-boot images as directed in Hashcode's thread. Skip to step 5 after downloading the files, as we're already in fastboot mode at this point.
Also, Windows 10 enforces driver signatures, so you'll need to disable that before proceeding with the Kindle driver installation.

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?

the device disappears after one second from the hardware devices.it is staying on the non animated logo forever till the battery is dead.i have tried everything.i have installed the drivers with no problem and i even rooted the kindle.but after i restarted it the problem appeared.i ve tried to run the command with the kindle unpluged but when i plug it to the computer nothing happens.i tried usb2 and usb 3 ports, i tried windows 7 and windows 8 and pretty much everything i found here in the forum.still no luck
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

Now we're getting somewhere. You should do as stunts says to get your device booted into fastboot (see below)

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.
I was using [REF] Installing Kindle Fire HD 8.9" 2nd-Bootloader + TWRP Complete Tutorial and had gotten to step 3 of the guide where I downloaded the recovery and boot img's and put them onto the device. I had the device rooted fine, installed FireFlash, selected both the files in the correct places, and selected the check box for flashing bootloader 8.1.4. I did however fail to select "apply stack", which is where I'm assuming I made my fatal mistake. I proceeded to hit flash and it then rebooted into TWRP. I thought I had done everything successfully as far as I could tell. Made some backups with TWRP and then went to reboot but it froze on the kindle fire logo.
I should have made backups with the command adb pull before proceeding but it didn't work for me the first time so I gave up. Probably should have done that properly. But I've been trying to use KFFirstAide and KFHD SRT to at least get it to a working state. But I've had no success trying to get the device into fastboot. The device will show up momentarily in device manager as jem something and then disappears after connecting the usb cable from a turned off state. The only thing I can do with the device at the moment is getting the orange kindle fire logo to turn on and off by holding the power button. I feel like I have some sort of idea about going to environment variables and editing paths to point it to the folder with adb and fastboot, along with having the correct drivers. Well, I don't know about the drivers cause I've tried two different ones. I'm clueless at this point and could use some help.
Try installing the drivers in my signature for the jem device as soon as it shows up, then when that's done, shut the device off, and run your fastboot command as follows: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Once it says waiting for device plug you kindle in while its off, and you should go into fastboot mode.

Just one question, how do I install those drivers in your signature? I've seen you help out a lot of the members here so I appreciate it.
You open the device manager, and when your PC detects a jem device, right click it and hit update driver and point it to where you extracted the zip file.

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.
SDK setup video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw
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.
Can you help me?

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.

Thank you very much !!!
Help! I never post threads on these things because I can always find what I need somewhere. Alas, after working on this for days without sleep I admit I need help.
I have an 8.9 HD and had it rooted with TWRP 2.4.4 (I think, def. older one) and Cyanogenmod 10.X. I wanted to update to Cyanogenmod 11 but TWRP failed every time I tried to flash. I thought maybe I needed an updated TWRP to flash C11. I downloaded Flashify app to the Kindle and also the TWRP otter IMG file. After flashing the recovery, the app said to reboot so I did.
It booted up into the first kindle fire logo (orange) but went no further. Whenever I plugged the Kindle in, Windows makes the du-Duh sound like a USB device is connected but then immediately gives the Du-duh unplug sound. I read something about using the original Kindle cable to go straight to fastboot mode. I think I have it (is it white?) because I plugged it in and it is now in fastboot mode.
Windows is recognizing the unspecified device as Jem-PVT-x. I am in CMD but "ADB devices" shows an empty list and fastboot devices just goes back to the original line without showing/doing anything.
Can I fix this?! HOW?! Thank you SO MUCH for any help!
You have to either install the drivers in my signature in the brief moment it's detected or take the easy route and use a ubuntu live disk, either way you will be running" fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and plugging the device in while it's off after that command has been run.
