Unbricking My Kindle Fire

About 3 weeks ago, I bricked my Kindle Fire. It was a "spare" that I had, so I started messing around with it. Got TWRP installed, downloaded a couple of ROMS, and attempted to install them. (fortunately, I made a backup of my base Amazon 6.2)
To make a long story short, the fire got stuck. I was able to adb and various other things on this forum to keep things going, but after a while, Kindle Fire Utility (adb, nothing) could see the device. I thought for sure I had an expensive paper weight.
Enter the factory cable. Because SkOrPn was in the middle of a move, my cable didn't get here right away. Then there were some issues with my PayPal address, which SkOrPn went out of his way to fix. Today, I got the cable at my office.
Looked at the cable. Thought I had been send an unmodified cable. Saw no evidence that anything had been done to the cable. An absolutely perfect professional job.
Couldn't wait to get home. Got home. Plugged cable in Fire, then in Laptop. Nothing. Now what? I thought it was supposed to boot the bootloader? adb didn't see the device. Drivers good, it sees my other Fire. I guess I was one of those 1% that hard brick the fire with no chance of getting it back.
Did a few searched on the forum. Found how to install TWRP on my device. I thought I had it already? Ran the commands. Nothing. Switched to regular cable. Nothing. I figured I was screwed. I unplugged the Fire. connected the factory cable. Ran the command. THEN hooked up the cable. JOY JOY JOY!! i GOT TWRP loaded!!!!
Restored my previously saved image, and now I have a working Kindle Fire. NOW i'm going to install some other ROM on it.
The moral is, never give up. Buy a factory cable!!! One of the things I've ever spent $15 or so on. And I recommend SkOrPn as your source. Quality work, great customer service!!!
Step-by-step
1) Make sure you have some charge left in your bricked Kindle. (one of my mistakes
2) Download "Kindle Fire Utility" or other utility that has the fastboot.exe command available.
3) Download twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img (just google it)
4) Without connecting anything, run the command:
fastboot.exe -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
5) Connect the factory cable to your Kindle Fire
6) Connect the factory cable to you PC
7) Wait about 10 seconds.
8) DONE!!!!
Sorry for the long post. My wife doesn't understand why this would make me so excited. But you all would, I'm sure.

a very nice post for people who have bricked their kindles and need a factory cable!

Thanks for the kind words Steve. I hope this cable gives you confidence in flashing your Kindle long into the future. Glad it worked out for you.
Oh, and you did not see any evidence of modification because I do not modify the cable, I just cut off the original micro connector and install my own, already modified of course with a resistor and all I have to do is re-solder the 4 wires back onto their original pins and then fill the entire casing with 400 degree SureBonder PDR Hot Glue (the worlds strongest known hot glue, according to them anyway lol)... That way it looks and feels like a true manufactured store bought cable. However, doing it my way is still in fact more work, but the end result clearly justifies it.
Anyway, again glad I could be of service to you and my fellow XDA friends.

Where do I run the command from?

Hi there,
Where should I run that command from??
Here´s my case, I hope you could help me..
I need urgent help. Just got my kindle todasy and went through tutorial to use the rooting utitily. My kindle got stuck at loading screen and wouldn´t shut shutdown. I waited until the battery ran out. Waited for few more minutes and plugged in the data cable. The kindle now won´t stop blinking and does not get reckgonized by the pc. I did waited for the battery goes dead again, recharged then for about 30 min and nothing has changed. The loading screen keeps blinking and nothing seems to be happening. Please advise!!

Oh boy... I'm going to hope that it was a timing issue and our posts got crossed, because I answered your question for another user just above your post.

Never let your battery die like you did. You can always force a shutdown by keeping the power button pressed down for 20-30 seconds.

make sure the device drivers are working (part 2) and learn some fastboot commands (part 3) so you can reset the bootmode on your device back to normal and reboot it.

Thanks for your help. I tried to run a fastboot command and get msg: ´cannot run, adbwin.dll missing´... Now I´m really not sure what it´s missing anymore..
I´m going also leave it charging for longer and it seems to be a known issue, right?
My kindle continues not being reckognized and keeps on flashing the kindle Fire/Android Logo. When I unplug it it stops flashing and I won´t get any sigh of life, even after pressing the button for longer than 30s.
I managed to find the driver on device manager and uninstalled it, thinking that maybe it would help finding the device again, but it didn´t...
Recomendations please?

Unfortunately, if the device isn't booting up, it won't charge. Like the guide I posted above says, the device needs to load up a ramdisk before it will charge. If all you see is that KF/Android logo, then it's still in the bootloader and it's not charging your battery.
First, you'll have to get your drivers in order so you can send the device fastboot commands. I suggest you disconnect the KF from your computer and make sure it's turned off. Use the KFU driver install file and get it to install the drivers again onto your machine. I'm not sure if it will help, but it wouldn't hurt to reboot your computer after that. When it's back up and running again, open up the device manager. When you connect the KF back up to your computer, it should automatically power up again... look at what device comes up as it boots. The first thing you see (hopefully) is "Android Phone -> Android ADB Interface" appear. If you see that, you can be reasonably sure you can send it fastboot commands.
You'll have to issue the "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000" on the command line. It will tell you that it's waiting for device... The next time it loops back around in its boot up process, it will send the command and hopefully get the bootmode back to normal. Then hook it up to your stock AC wall charger and if you are lucky it should continue to boot and charge your battery.
There's a lot of "hopefully" things that have to go right for this to work. You've got a few compounded issues that are giving you problems and all of them have to get fixed for the battery to start charging again.

I tried to connect to a different pc. It does get recognized on device manager (as kindle) for few seconds and then it dissapears again...not sure what to do now in order to charge it...any suggestions?

Hey guys thanks for all the help so far, i bricked my kindle to the point of no shell after i tried to reflash the stock rom and was stuck in no mans land. So i ordered skorpn's factory cable (thanks again for sending it up north of the border) and when i plug it into the pc it loads the "kindle fire" screen ans stays there. It shows up in device manager but not when i look for it under adb devices and device won't be found in fastboot. Tried reinstalling the drivers and still no luck. Any ideas how i can get this thing back to the point of usability? Thanks for any help you have

There are several reasons why you would get the typical "waiting for device" message, so...
...here is a step-by-step guide instruct you in getting it working properly, quickly and efficiently.
Step 1. Start a new thread in the Q&A section.
Step 2. Explain in GREAT detail exactly what your problem is.
Step 3. Explain in GREAT detail exactly how your problem started.
Step 4. Explain in GREAT detail exactly what you have done to remedy the situation on your own.
Step 5. Explain in GREAT detail exactly what the device does and everything you see from the moment you press the power button until the problem presents itself.
Step 6. Wait patiently until someone of appropriate knowledge is kind enough to lend a hand.

great advice and exactly what im gonna do. been searching for 2 weeks now reading and learning and still stuck so be looking out for my thread

[Q] bootloop stuck, can't fastboot, need case open short instruction

Background: Kindle Fire 1st generation. Stuck on "kindle fire" logo screen. This is a stock KF -- never any previous attempts to root it.
KFU is unable to connect to the device -- or get it into fastboot. I purchased a factory cable, and that also was not successful. (BTW, I have a different KF 1st gen that works fine, and KFU recognizes it and can fastboot perfectly fine with that one).
I also attempted using the Firekit utility on a Debian Linux system. The tool seems to have the same issue -- gives me a "error: device not found" message when trying to set bootmode.
The "Post #1" HOW-TO by kinfauns talks about the bad bootloader scenario, and it mentions opening the case to short a circuit in order to enable USB boot. Can someone please point me to a link regarding this shorting technique? I think that is my next step.
Thanks,

No. When connected to the Windows7 machine, the bootloop-stuck KF is not recognized at all (regardless of whether using the standard USB cable or the factory cable).
On the working KF which was purchased from Amazon at the same time, Device Manager shows this working KF as "Android phone".

Fairly certain your battery is dead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623244 . If so you can shock it`s inards and hook up fastboot cable all day long and it wont make a bit of difference till you get a new battery.

Thanks to Thepooch. Progress has been made. I was admittedly very skeptical about the dead battery theory. This Kindle Fire had been connected to a charger for literally days if not weeks. But I grabbed my wife's 2A charger and connected it.
Okay. Here is where the weird part starts.....
After several hours on the 2A charger, I hit the power button and got a TWRP Recovery screen! I was astounded. When using KFU, I have always gotten "ADB Status: Offline" and "Boot Status: Unknown" with this unit. I still do. But I have certainly tried the KFU selections of "Install Latest TWRP Recovery" and "Install Latest FireFireFire". Even though the utility returns messages that imply it was not successful (typically "< waiting for device >"), the only thing I can figure is that it was successful at least once. Even today when I run KFU, it still behaves as though it does not recognize the unit. Also, Device Manager still does not see the Kindle Fire.
So, now I have a Kindle Fire that seems to have good TWRP Recovery and FFF (I get the white & blue Kindle Fire logo now when booting). And this is a good thing, and a major step past the infinine white and orange Kindle Fire logo boot screen.
However, since I can't apparently connect to the unit via USB, I can't put a ROM on it to install. This is where I am stuck now.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations.
Thanks again.

First you must fix your driver. Unless it shows up in device manager as android composite adb interface. I still have question of it's proper installation since mounting sdcard is connected to a proper install.
Code:
adb push rom.zip/sdcard/
shift plus right click on kfu's tool folder select open command window here. Type
Code:
adb devices
you should get a number string code 1234××××××××× device if it says offline then driver is not proper. If it says 1234×××××××××× device then your good.
Type adb push <---leave one space here drag and drop the file you wish to push into terminal , then one more space , /sdcard/ it takes some time depending on file size. When it's done it will show records in and records out along with the time that the push took. If successful make a backup and then wipe cache, dalvik, and system. Flash rom.zip/gapps.zip reboot system. There is a catch 22 is the recovery packaged with KFU new enough to flash newer ROMs with full s-Linux support follow the steps in my guide highlighted in my signature to at least flash rooted stock before proceeding. @sd_shadow 's Rom would be perfect for first flash.
Edit: Side note modifications need to be made to driver to keep adb working on custom ROMs as some have been added prior this helps but the device ID changes with each new build ics, kit kat and so forth.

Thanks @Thepooch for the detailed reply.
I spent several hours playing with this Kindle Fire, a different Kindle Fire (stock unit that works), regular USB and factory cables, kfu, and adb. Here are my observations that may or may not be significant:
1) With the working stock Kindle Fire: this shows up in Device Manager as Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface. In KFU, this working Kindle Fire shows ADB Status: Online and Boot Status: Unknown. If I run the "adb devices" comand, it happily gives me a 17BExxxxxxxxxxxx response.
2) With the non-working Kindle Fire that I am working with: This does not show up in Device Manager UNLESS I am in the FFF (white & blue logo screen) with the 3 boot choices listed at the bottom of the screen (Normal Boot, Recovery, Reset Boot Mode). If those 3 choices are shown, then Device Manager recognizes this as Android Phone > Android ADB Interface (it does not say "Composite" -- no matter how hard I try to delete that Android ADB Interface driver). This non-working Kindle Fire then disappears from Device Manager completely if in any TWRP screen or any FFF screen other than the one with the 3 boot choices at the bottom. When I run the "adb devices" command, I get a message "List of devices attached" with nothing below (no numbers or anything).
I suspect that you are correct -- that I am fighting a driver issue -- but I don't know how to get the Windows 7 computer to recognize the non-working Kindle Fire as a Android Composite ADB Interface. It happily recognizes the working Kindle Fire as Composite, so I know the driver is on the PC.
Any ideas of how to go forward are appreciated. I think that I have tried everything that I know to try on that Windows 7 PC, so at this point, my next plan is to play with this Kindle Fire using the FireKit tools and a Debian Linux PC. Maybe that will help -- or at least I will learn something.

I suspect that you are correct -- that I am fighting a driver issue -- but I don't know how to get the Windows 7 computer to recognize the non-working Kindle Fire as a Android Composite ADB Interface. It happily recognizes the working Kindle Fire as Composite, so I know the driver is on the PC.
Any ideas of how to go forward are appreciated. I think that I have tried everything that I know to try on that Windows 7 PC, so at this point, my next plan is to play with this Kindle Fire using the FireKit tools and a Debian Linux PC. Maybe that will help -- or at least I will learn something.

Android adb interface alone is a detection of fastboot composite is normal boot. This could be due to a partially broken shell try while the device is in recovery not at the bootloader your bootmode is iffy.

What is current Twrp versiom? 2.7.1.0?
If the problem is Kindle software, a could try a couple of things
adb commands should not work in bootloader mode
fastboot commands should work in bootloader mode
try
fastboot devices
if that works could try flashing twrp, I would Flash a different version so you know it worked, like 2.6.x.x http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/blaze

Thanks @sd_shadow for the reply.
In recovery mode, TWRP reports that it is version 2.6.3.1
I did try the "fastboot devices" command. When I am in the initial FFF screen (blue & white kindle fire logo with "Press power button for boot menu") or I am in the FFF menu with the 3 boot choices at the bottom (Normal Boot, Recovery, Reset Boot Mode), the "fastboot devices" command returns "0123456789ABCDEF fastboot". I didn't make up that number. It reports the hexadecimal digits in order from 0 through F, followed by the word "fastboot". It is pretty apparent that this is not a valid device ID number, but it is reporting something. I just don't know what it means.
If I am in any screen other than those, the "fastboot devices" command returns nothing, and it goes back at the command prompt.

I press the power button, to show boot menu (Normal Boot, Recovery, Reset Boot Mode) so it will pause the boot process for 2 mins or so.
the "0123456789ABCDEF fastboot" could be good, I believe that is what i usually get, and would go ahead and flash twrp.
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-otter.img (or whatever version you are trying)
or try the reboot command
fastboot reboot

When in recovery if there is no adb my first thought is driver. Two other things are possible missing or broken shell or broken recovery. I myself lean to the side of it being a driver issue. Attach your working Kindle to pc while in recovery. Type adb devices it should say 12345678 blah blah recovery. If it does not then it's your driver.

@sd_shadow -- the "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-...." command worked, and TWRP now reports that it is running version 2.7.1.0 (it was 2.6.3.1). It was immensely satisfying to find a command that this Kindle seems to like. Seriously. Thank you.
My next stupid question is, can I use another fastboot command to program the ROM, or can I use some fastboot command to load the ROM on sdcard via USB and then install it with TWRP? If I can do either of those things, then I think this problem is licked.

Thanks both of you for your help. But not all stories have a happy ending.
Over the past couple of days, I have been fighting a battle with the battery. The battery charge level indicated in the main TWRP menu would decrease even when connected to the 2A charger. I found that I could temporarily add a few percent charge by disconnecting the USB cable, reconnecting to the 2A charger. However, that trick would only last for a few minutes and a few percent charge, and then the power button light would go out and discharge would start again.
I think that the battery is now pretty dead. Power button light stays off event with the charger connected. If I disconnect the USB cable and reconnect, then I can *occasionally* get the power light to go green then orange, and it will fire up into a FFF blue&white logo screen, but then it shuts off again.
At this point, I think I have to decide if I want to spend the $ for a replacement battery and then try to fight the rooting battle again. I was never able to get the PC to recognize the device in normal mode so no adb -- only fastboot would work.

The battery will always charge in recovery. When it goes flat you end in a 5 second boot loop. Try 2 things since your bootloader is equipped to hand such things as a failsafe attach to pc via USB right when it powers on long press power button till it powers off and let sit for 24 hours. The low level charge might even kick in and indicate charging on the screen if so let it sit and it will eventually boot properly on its own. Good luck

I suspect it's the usb port that is bad, not the battery. The Kindle's usb port is weak and has a high failure rate, it can be repaired but likely not worth it, unless you know how to solder connections.

Problem getting device into fastboot mode.

Alright so this morning my wife handed me her Kindle Fire and said "It's not working, fix it." Well that is all I got out of her, nothing of what was she doing when it went borked. All she said was yesterday she put it in her bag at the beginning of the day and at lunch time, when she tried to turn it on, nothing happened. Great, troubleshooting without a clear problem is just how I wanted to spend my day.
Device specifics.
+Kindle Fire first gen
+OtterX bootloader v2.05
+TWRP for OtterX 2.7.1.0
+OtterX partition files
+SlimROM v6.4
Windows 7 32bit enviroment
Well anyway first thing I did was plug it in to charge it. Once I plugged the device into a wall outlet the power light turned orange after a second or two but the screen never turned on. Not to the charging screen or the ROM unlock screen. Ok, no biggie, she let the battery run down and it just needs to charge.
After a few hours of charging the power light was green so I unplugged the device. Thinking the device was in the charging mode I held the power button, it turned orange then turned off but no bootloader screen or ROM splash screen. OK so that's odd. Did a hard reset and second time I tried to turn the device on sane thing, power light turned green for a few seconds and then turned off, again no OtterX bootloader or ROM splash screen. Ok, now there is a definite problem.
Plugged the device into the computer and Windows made the device connecting sound and I opened Windows Explorer. In the explorer window I saw the device connected as an OtterX, opened the tab>internal storage and all the files and folders displayed. Opened a command window from the folder I have my adb and fastboot and ran the adb devices command and it came back with the device ID>device. OK so maybe the screen is hosed. Still want to troubleshoot and attempt to re-flash the bootloader, TWRP and the ROM before I say the digitizer is hosed.
Typed adb reboot recovery and Windows made the device disconnecting sound and a few seconds later the device connecting sound. I typed adb devices and the same thing, the device ID>recovery. I was successfully able to push and pull a test file so I know adb commands are working just fine.
Here is where I'm running into a problem. I try to type the command adb reboot-bootloader and nothing happens in the command window, nor does Windows make the device disconnecting sound. I also try to hard reset the device, type the command fastboot devices, turning the device on at the <waiting on device> but it just boots into the ROM and OtterX appears in the Windows explorer window.
How do I put the device into fastboot node so I can re-flash the bootloader and recovery? Mind you as I already said at this point nothing appears on the screen so pressing the power button as normal is out of the question.

with OtterX bootloader v2.05, every time kindle is booting, fastboot commands can be used, but the window is short.
with kindle off, enter command
Code:
fastboot devices
then power on kindle, if you get a response like 123456789 fastboot
then you could try flashing bootloader again, but likely LCD is bad
unzip OtterX bootloader v2.05.zip, copy otterx-u-boot_v2.05.bin from cache folder, paste to your adb folder
verify md5:241A3FD1EDAD0A0D95886DDEB4693E1C
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader otterx-u-boot_v2.05.bin
Code:
fastboot reboot

I'll give it another go. One thing I forgot to mention, when I rebooted the device to recovery I pressed the power button and the TWRP screen briefly displayed. Then the screen went blank again.
EDIT: I try the fastboot>devices command, power on the device and Windows comes up with device not recognized and the device booted into ROM. I have confirmed this is also happening with my Kindle Fire so looks like I'm missing a driver. Both devices connect successfully within the ROM and Recovery so is it just a bootloader driver issue????

Windows 7 32bit. I did a search of the forums and found a thread with a link for signed Kindle Fire drivers from Amazon. Downloaded, installed and rebooted system. Plugged in and powered up my Kindle Fire into SlimKat and Windows recognizes device and I'm able to transfer files no problems. I'll have to try the adb and fastboot commands later, I have to get my son to a college entrance exam soon. I'll let you know the results when I return home.

Had to step away for a few days because work but now I have five days off to diagnose this fastboot issue. Anyway installed the signed Amazon drivers and adb still works with no issues but still unable to get fastboot to work. Next steep I updated the the adb and fastboot files from the Android SDK tools and still same issue. Next step I put my phone into bootloader and was successfuly able to issue fastboot commands so I know fastboot is working. Now I know the problem is isolated to the Kindles and not my system.

[Q] How to restore the Amazon Kindle Fire 2 to stock?

Hi guys i have had various versions of Cyanogen mod running on my KFOT2 for the last few months but i would like to go back to the stock kindle software as I am selling the tablet. After a corrupt install i can get to the TWRP recovery but not mount usb storage. I have access to fastboot via cable but what am I supposed to do to restore it to stock as most threads here discuss how to root the kindle in the first place. Thanks!

Long time not even being active! Okay, so connect your Fastboot cable, and then download the file from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888. It also contains the tutorial and all, but it should be quite straightforward.

you have to use a fastboot cable

and plug factory cable to your kindle and pc, run Restore.bat and follow instructions, when it finish, click Power button 5 times to complete

Amazon fire phone stuck at boot logo and cant access to recovery mode.

I was recently planning to install Miui 7 on my Fire Phone. So, i installed safestrap 4.01.
1. I opened safestrap recovery mode
2. I wiped (First screen of Safestrap recovery mode)
3. I installed Cleansystempartition.zip
and then i don't know why, but i lost my mind and decided not to install Miui 7 and i went back and clicked on reboot.
So, now my Amazon Fire phone is stuck at boot logo and i can't even enter recovery mode.
It doesn't respond when connected to PC. It is charging and again when i boot again get stuck on boot logo.
Please reply ASAP.

What you need:
1 x USB Cable, 1 x PC, 1 x Fire Phone update bin, adb and correctly installed drivers. GOOGLE
How too:
1. Ensure phone is turned OFF
2. Plug the USB cable into your phone.
3. Press and keep held the Volume UP (+) button only
4. Now plug the other end of the USB cable into the PC. (keeping the Volume UP held)
5. The phone will now boot into recovery and you can let go of the volume button.
6. Select "apply update from ADB"
7. type
Code:
adb sideload your-firmware-version.bin
Use google or search the Fire Phone threads on how to install adb and drivers etc etc.

Thanks for your time, but i couldn't understand how ADB is used. I installed adb drivers (tried bunch of times) but can't figure out how to do steps you suggested.
Could you please elaborate in detailed step-by-step, or provide me some revalent link so that I (noob) could understand easily. Once again thanks for help !
Code:
Is there any way i can ensure that proper drivers are installed for my Fire Phone?

Since i understood how adb is used, I categorized further remaining problem into two type:-
1. If I hadn't installed right drivers...
I tried installing driver from different source but i failed (i guess).
So anyone can provide me link for Drivers for Fire Phone?
2. If i have installed right drivers then :
I tried steps as you suggested but my phone won't boot into recovery mode. When i connect Phone to my pc holding volume + , It shows charging symbol as usual.
If i am doing the process in wrong way, please correct me. I will be waiting for helps...:crying:

If Fire Phone detected in Windows Device Manager with PID 9008 you can't do anything (as i know). PID 9006 give you a little chance.

Your only hope to revive this phone is to get into the stock recovery.
If you wiped the stock recovery or messed with it then your screwed as there is no PC flashtool like odin, spflashtool, etc etc that works on the fire phone that I am aware of so you need the stock recovery to be functional.
To get into recovery re-read post #2 HERE very carefully on how to do it. :fingers-crossed:
There is no need to PM me just simply quote me in this thread and I will then get notified.
You also need to provide as much info as possible things such as screenshots, photo's, Videos, logs etc etc as these will help when people try to assist you.
Once you are in stock recovery we can move on.

I quit guys. I just can't get that thing on recovery mode. I tried several times, tried other ways but nope. My phone is not giving a damn ****. Its just gets stuck on boot screen logo. That's all. I guess, i won't get my phone returned/exchanged since had i rooted it which violates its warranty.

Am having thee same issue

Weirdly enough -my gfs fire phone started exhibiting the same exact issue just yesterday(amazon logo blinks on start up and doesnt go any further no matter how long you wait) and this is the first link google gave on the problem. Did anyone find a resolution to this? She loves this phone and I already replaced battery once few months ago.
