Hello, I'm currently trying to install CyanogenMod on my Kindle Fire (otter2), but when I put "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" into the command prompt, the Kindle boots into system instead of going into fastboot. fastboot also doesn't recognize my device, and thus waits for the device forever until I close the command prompt.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I have used this cable to successfully root and flash a rom on an HTC EVO 4G before if that means anything.

You'll need to root or get a fastboot adapter to boot into fastboot.

I'm stuck on the Kindle File logo boot screen.
I used this client to attempt to root my Kindle. I am rather inexperienced, and tried to apply a permanent root with superuser before installing a custom bootloader. In the process, i think it tried to install FFF, but would take an unusually long time to download and install it. So naturally, as any frustrated noob would do, i tried to X out of the window and unplug my Kindle. Bad idea. Turned it on, and it was stuck on the boot screen.
I've tried using a MOTO factory cable to start it in fastboot, but it would not work. In the Kindle Fire general section, there is a sticky that has instructions on how to unroot it, but the link to download important files just leads to some internet propaganda thing multiupload is hosting or something; I can not download the files.
Any help and instruction would be great. I must warn, I'm rather new to the whole rooting and device modding thing, so I may need some additional instruction. Thanks in advance.
Your just stuck in fastboot shift +right click on kfu tools folder select open command window here power off your device leave it unplugged type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product when it says waiting for device plug it in it will power on in the terminal if you get a response product: kindle type fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 hit enter then type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot it should then boot normal use a standard cable for this not your moto factory cable

SOLUTION:
shift +right click on Kindle Fire Utilities tools folder, select open command window here. power off your device leave it unplugged, type "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" (no quotations). when it says waiting for device, plug it in it will power on in the terminal. if you get a response "product: kindle" type "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000", hit enter then type "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot" it should then boot normal use a standard cable for this, not your moto factory cable

Sounds like your booting to fastboot mode you need to download the drivers so you can set your bootmode back to system

Your KF is OK and you need to change the boot mode to normal by following the below commands
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
or
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
then fastboot reboot

Okay, I'm assuming i can do this through cmd.exe, but what commands do i need to type in to get to the point where i can type these in?
I've fixed it. Thanks to someone over in the Q&A section.
Turns out i was stuck in fastboot.
For anyone who discovers this thread in the future, here was the solution:
shift +right click on kfu tools folder, select open command window here. power off your device leave it unplugged, type "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" (no quotations). when it says waiting for device, plug it in it will power on in the terminal. if you get a response "product: kindle" type "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000", hit enter then type "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot" it should then boot normal use a standard cable for this, not your moto factory cable
This worked for me, thank you very much.
I have this same problem, but I cannot get my computer to recognize that the Kindle Fire is plugged in. I have tried installing the KFU driver but that doesn't seemed to have worked.
Try the iso I made post 7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413358 or just run your own http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038

If this doesnt work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038 you will need to aquire a factory cable so you can fastboot flash fff.bin and twrp image in order to then flash a rom because your system software is likely broken factory cable here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693 its possible you are stuck in fastboot but I doubt it if you get lucky and that is the case shift+ right click on the tools folder in kfu select open command window here power your device off completely leave it unplugged type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product when it says waiting for device plug in your powered off kindle it should then power on in fastboot mode if you get the response product: kindle then type fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 it will say okay hopefully the type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot it should then reboot in normal mode
Ok, so I have very eagerly jumped on and tried to root my Kindle Fire. I read a few things, thought "This is easy and didn't read everything (shocker) and now am looking at a white / orange kindle fire logo and "unknown device" in device manager
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers provided by the kfu
I have tried the unbrick kit
I have downloaded the soupkit but gave up cuz my experience with Linux is celebrating that I can SPELL U-b-u-n-t-u right.
At this point, I realized I am jumping the gun and need to focus on drivers.
I have read that I need to know 'where' it's broken (huh?) in the bootloader or boot process.
I have also read I need to run adb or kfu or skd or ffff or twrp or my kf will remain f.u.b.a.r.
I have read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644970

and dunno where I got lost.
Please help! Thanks in advance!
Progress!!!
ok so I got drivers installed as I now have an "android phone --> Android ADB interface" in the DM.
Id suggest flashing bootloader + recovery manually in fastboot
Something like:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery "/home/mike/twrp.img"
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader " /home/mike/fff.bin"
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 rebootot
Alright, if you have the drivers working you should be able to root and manage everything. I wrote a detailed guide on getting it working. Have you attempted to root it yet?
OH NOES! Your device manager says "Unknown Device"! From my experience, it is caused by a faulty bootloader flash, which is probably why you couldn't connect after using the SoupKit.
In Linux, with the device plugged in and powered up, enter the following command...
Code:
lsusb -v
...and print the results here. Also, it is very important to know what bootmode you are in. The easiest way to tell is by looking at the boot screen at startup. kinfauns' fastboot guide will give you an idea of what you should look for.

worked and was able to run the kfu to root the device and install TWRP and FFFF and I think that's it.
Now, I see the TWRP screen can't do anything from there. I tried mounting USB Storage and doing an "adb push" and get " 'adb' is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
::edit:: figured the adb issue. now getting 'device not found' when trying to push a ROM
Still confused and thinking maybe it's not too late to turn back.

That tool is for the 7" KFHD. Don't use that one or you will hard brick that tablet. Use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 You just use your USB cord if you have the 8.9 KFHD
First thing is to download the SDK package and set the environment up. Here is a great video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw This will allow you to use fastboot command which is what you will do to push the images you need onto the bootloader.
To make sure your computer issue fastboot commands, open up a command prompt as an administrator and type "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" with no quotes and it should return Jem-xxx-xxx. If you don't get that response, do not move forward.
Now use the tool per the instructions in the tutorial or extract the files and CD from inside the folder and manually flash the 3 images via fastboot issuing these commands
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot "image name here" include .img at end"
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery "recovery name here" include .img at end
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system "system image name here" include .img at end
Now give some time as the system image is quite large
when done, type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
Profit

You can download the zip, check the md5sum, now drag and drop the ROM onto the internal SD card, boot into TWRP, "swipe" to factory reset, flash zip, wipe dalvik and CACHE only, reboot system, profit.
