[Q] I think I just Broke My Kindle... (Clockwork/CM9 Reloaded 1.2h)

Hi All,
I just used kindle fire utility to root my Fire. I installed ClockworkMod Recovery (this is what i use on my galaxy nexus). I then wiped data, cache, and davlink and installed CM9 Reloaded 1.2h. My fire then went into a boot loop where the kindle fire logo came up for 3 secs, then turned off, repeat. I then unplugged from my comp and tried again. now the logo comes up for 3 secs then goes to black screen. but i think the kindle is on bc when i plug into my comp it makes the usb connected sound. battery is fully charged. not sure what else to do. cant boot into recovery bc i cant connect to kindle fire utility...
any ideas?
-Thanks

Read all posts for the ROM before installation!
Code:
Kernel 3.0 (v1.2H) - Bugs:
- Only flash in TWRP
- Black screen for awhile on boot, wait it out
- Notification graphic glitch (my error, being fixed in v1.3 and v1.3H)
- Wifi - Works once; when you disconnect, you have to reboot to reconnect
- Sometimes weird bars appear on the screen (not too noticeable)
- Can't mount storage when not in TWRP
whoops...

That kind of attitude is what makes warranties more expensive for everybody and forces manufacturers to lock down their bootloaders so modifying devices is near impossible.
If you didn't install FIREFIREFIRE alongside CWMR, then you need to buy a factory cable (search for it) so you can get the device into fastboot mode. Then you can flash TWRP and install the ROM you want.
I'm sure you'll be going to Best Buy anyway.
You are correct sir! To bb i go!

Kindle Fire Rooted Running TWRP ERROR HELP PLEASE...

I was running the cm10 build on my rooted kindle fire. its a kindle fire 1st generation. i was searching google for and android 4.2 rom for kindle fire, downloaded and flashed it. then when i rebooted, its not working anymore. it turns on normally and shows the blue kindle fire logo from FireFireFire. it says press power button to change oot options, like we normally do. i let it boot normally, and the rom gets stuck on the bootscreen. so i thought i needed to reflash and factory reset, so i force shut it down and turned it on again. this time, i held the power button to say Recovery. it says booting and the power button turn orange. but then it just gets stuck there. it wont boot into recovery. it just sits there all day with the orange light and the words booting. i cant boot into anything. Anyone Please Help Me... Happy Holidays...
Well for one I haven't seen a 4.2 available for the kindle fire so I am pretty sure your system is broken. Flashing it may have affected the other partitions in some way the one I would be concerned with is the recovery partition which you need access to in order to fix it. Your best bet now is soupkit, first to get some communication with the device, secondly to reflash recovery or force it to recovery bootmode. Here's where to start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038.
one thing though
My Kindle Fire Has A Damaged Charger Slot, Where You Have To Put Pressure And Bend It Forward To Make It Charge. And I cant Move it When Its Charging My USB isn't doing well either, I Haven't Been Able To Connect My Kindle Fire To My PC In Forever! However, Thanks. If You Know A Way To Get The USB Port On The KFire Replaced Please Let Me Know please.

Use tape to hold it in place then maybe you can at least get it fixed so it runs.
Tried that so many times...

Sorry for the delay, Christmas stuff. I have tried for days trying to make a contact between the port and the serial bus. it hasnt worked. the best i could do is get it to charge, but it wouldn't do the same with the usb. im using an android phone usb, chich is VERY thick. mabye i should use the stock usb and give that a shot. i will let you know. :good:
stock usb failed
i used to stock USB to charge my kfire. after charged, its still in the boot loop as expected. i tried to get connection to the device my using my new usb and wiggling it back and forth. the kf utility still wont recognize my kindle no matter what i do. all i can get it to do is turn on to the bootloader. so to make a long story short, i have a boot loader which cant boot into anything. PLUS, i tried soupkit. wouldnt do a thing. i even tried the kfire unbrick utility. none of them can get a connection with my device.

I have a feeling you are in the wrong place. Are, by any chance, the images you described earlier explicitly named "stock-boot.img" and "stock-recovery.img"? If so, there's a good chance you are in the wrong place. What software version was your device running before this happened? Could you describe this so-called "fastboot logo"?
On the off chance that you do have a 1st generation Kindle Fire and not a 2nd Generation Kindle Fire, flashing the boot and recovery images will do nothing for you in your situation. You would have to reinstall the ROM as described in the FAQ listing that I referred to earlier. :silly:

[Q] KF 2 GEN not seen my computer on fast boot cable.

Rank newbie here. I did l watch the video of forum instructions for newbies and I have looked high and low for an answer I could understand. I am still stuck so reluctantly....Here we go...
I rooted my KF 2 Gen and had no problem doing so. Installed Google aps store, launchers etc. all on the stock OS.
All worked well until I got smart and decided to try a custom rom. It seemed to install fine. Asked all the options as I installed. Did I want Chrome, what launchers, etc. I wiped all the cache options and system. Went through all those screens and when it finally booted, I am stuck at the stock Kindle Fire logo in a boot loop. It will not connect to the computer. It seems to boot before it is recognized Dug on this forum, made myself a "factory cable" and it does work. When I plug it in, I get the Kindle logo a moment then a flashing gif of a stop light blinking red and green with the words. "Fast Boot" at the top of the screen. The problem is, I can not get the computer to "see" the Kindle Fire 2 Gen on this fast boot/ factory cable. I have tried switching ports, all the suggestions. The cable will launch the tablet into fast boot mode just fine however, the tablet does not connect to the computer. ( Windows XP Pro SP 3). I think I can figure out how to flash and restore on my own if I can get the tablet to communicate with the computer. I have no idea where to go now other than having a brand new paperweight. I just bought it two days prior and I suppose I could return it but the issues were caused by me so I don't feel like it's their duty to replace it.
Thanking you in advance for your assistance.
Go into TWRP, factory reset, and try again.

Thank you for your reply.
Sadly, the boot sequence terminates and it reboots before it ever gets to the TWRP stage.

When your device boots, do you see the blue Kindle Fire logo at any point?
Got it going! Thanks to this forum!

No, Soup. I would never get to the blue logo but....
I got it flying! After I got to fast boot, I swapped the fast boot cable to a regular cable and all was down hill from there on. I'm looking at a booted tablet.
Beers on me next time I am in Austin!

[Q] What exactly happened here?

I have a Kindle Fire HD 7". What I did was I tried to install TWRP and hashcode's 2nd bootloader (v7.4.3) via the app "Fire Flash" since fastboot was giving me a hard time. Anyway what I did was I flashed the bootloader and TWRP (version 6.2.2.0) I rebooted and everything went fine, I saw the white and orange kindle logo first. Then the white and blue, then my custom boot animation and then it went to the lockscreen. However when I chose the "Reboot Recovery" option to get into TWRP I got stuck in a bootloop. The kindle would show the white and orange boot logo and then the screen would go black and it would just do this in an infinite loop. I ordered a factory cable from skOrPn so all I would like to know now is how am I supposed to fix this and what exactly went wrong so I don't screw up again in the future.
I got the files from this thread if you couldn't find it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
(Also I'm rooted and I have stock Amazon OS 7.4.3, I can't access the kindle using adb or fastboot with a normal cable)
