Hello, I'm new to this site and would like for some help. I recently just got my first kindle fire and I want to "Root It". My friend tried to help me out and gave me all the supplies
- Kindle Fire Utility
- A Rom
We did everything fine and we installed the fire utility and once we drag the ROM to the kindle fire and restarted it, the OS/ROM never change and it was still the original OS that it came with so I just restored the kindle
System Version/Current Version: 6.3_user_4019920
I hope someone can help me out!
Thanks

Howdy everyone,
I was trying to install a new ROM on my kindle fire using TWRP but I must have goofed and deleted something because I bricked my kindle fire. My Kindle Fire is stuck on the kindle fire logo screen and it stays there without restarting. If I hold the power button the kindle fire will eventually shut down. When I plug in the kindle to my computer, the computer reads it and I can find it on my Device and Printers applet but I cannot open in My Computer. I’m running Windows 7 Home Premium. I've tried using the Kindle Fire Utility and the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility and nothing works.
If anybody can help me unbrick … please please please help me out. Also, if you can write it out, step-by-step that would help me out since I’m still new to rooting.
Thank you.

how is it that you cannot get back into recovery do a wipe and reflash or restore a backup?
I don't know what's going on with it. I don't know what other info to tell you all but if you guys ask questions I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. Thanks.

I share the same problem as you, unfortunately.
I've also tried the unbrick utility, however i can not get my windows premium to recognize the device as kindle. Tried to inistall the drivers. No avail on my end for any of the solutions provided.
Tried to figure out how to install drivers as ADB composite, not sure how that is done either.
Still searching out answers, hopefully someone can give us advice and send us in the right direction.
If i find a resolution, i will post here to assist you.

I was given a Kindle Fire 2 to play around with, as it fails to activate with Amazon. I stupidly mentioned that it might be possible to turn it into an Android tablet or at least root it and now it's my job to do so. I'm usually good at researching & following technical instructions, but even before I begin I'm befuddled by not seeing the "enable dab" option in Settings/Security. There are 3 option showing: Lock Screen Password, Credential Storage & Device Administrators. I've successfully connected it my WiFi & can surf websites, but that's about all. the System Version is "6.3.1_user_4107720".
Anyone have any ideas, comments or suggestions?
Btw, I don't think there's any possibility of getting help from Amazon, as this was a throw-in as part of a large tech purchase (mostly Apple stuff). Maybe someone was trying to dispose of a stolen unit. If that's the case is there any danger in using it?
6.3.1?
That doesn't sound like the correct version for it to be a kindle fire 2 considering the current version is 10.2.6
Is it a kf HD OR something else? Or a first edition kf?

Well, it does have 8 gb storage and no card slot, so I thought it must be a KF2. It's beginning to seem like it's a fake, huh?
It's a real Kindle Fire, just not a Kindle Fire 2.

You are correct, it's a first generation Fire, so I think that means ADB is enabled by default. I will now follow the steps to root the original KF & see how that goes. At least now I know which sub-forum to look in for help.
Btw, I actually found confirmation over at Amazon's Kindle Fire forum - "Kindle Fire - Which do I have?" One of the answers gave this very helpful info:
Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Version: 8.x.x
Kindle Fire HD 7" Version: 7.x.x
Kindle Fire (2nd Generation) Version: 10.x.x
Kindle Fire (1st Generation) Version: 6.x.x
Kindle Paperwhite Version: 5.x.x
Kindle Version: 4.x.x
Kindle Touch 5.x.x
Kindle Keyboard Version: 3.x
Kindle (2nd Generation) and Kindle DX Version: 2.x
Kindle (1st Generation) Version: 1.x
Okay I've been reading up on the forums for the past week, trying to unbrick my kindle by that, but anyway I understand all I have to do, I just can't get my computer to recognize my kindle fire!! I'm stuck in TWRP because if I try the normal boot, I get stuck at the yellow kindle fire screen. I understand that once I do get my kindle fire mounted in TWRP, I can flash a ROM to get my OS back on my kindle fire, so any tips on how to get my computer to recognize my kindle fire?
Thank you so much!

So which generation of Kindle fire do you have. If it's first gen with 6.3.2 the i would say Install the KFU version 0.9.8. I have been using it now for over two weeks and hasn't failed me yet. I have tried version's 0.9.6 and. 0.9.7 and had the same problem your having

good idea. uninstall previous drivers, DL 9.8 or 9.9, install drivers, and see if your computer can recognize the device.
