[Q] Brick: black screen

I just made an attempt at installing CM9 on my KF.
I used TWRP and thought I had downloaded FFF but throughout the whole process have yet to see the yellow triangle, so I probably do not have that installed afterall.
Anyway, just after I installed CM9 through TWRP, I hit reboot and was greeted with the kindle fire logo for a couple of seconds, then a black screen. The screen remains black until I power off. The power light turns on, and there is no difference between connecting to my computer via USB or using the wall charger.
I'm running Windows 7 with limited command line know-how; I've gotten this far by using Kindle Fire Utility.
When connecting my Kindle now, the computer doesn't seem to recognize it. It plays the little USB sound when plugged in/out, but that's it. When I try to do "adb devices" it no longer detects my Kindle, which has me a little worried.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm sure I can't be the only one with this problem but I've been Googling without finding a solution that works.
Thanks!

did you wipe before flashing rom and gapps?
Hold your power button for 30 seconds then let off power back on tell me in detail what you see? The new fff is white kindle logo with blue fire logo when you see this push your power button a few times till you get a tiny boot menu at the bottom select recovery.
Well if you get to that point I suggest you wipe factory/ data reset wipe dalvik wipe cache and try reflashing your rom and gapps then reboot select system hope youll be good if not repeat this process to include wiping the system as well then reflash.

I did wipe before flashing and then after the install I did whatever wipe/clear option there was before rebooting.
When holding the power button, the kindle powers off after 10-15 seconds. I kept holding but nothing else happened. Powering it on was the same as usual: the regular kindle fire logo for a few seconds, then a backlit black screen, which remains

Aha, sorry. I believe it is the one found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411895
as it has the same file name and showed up on my browser history. I was installing from instructions on lilliputing, unaware that there were different processes for different files.

This rom is old and hasn't been updated in a while, can you get into twrp
If so boot into twrp
Plug in your kindle to your computer and mount usb storage to transfer a different rom to your kindles sdcard
Then wipe whatever the Roms instructions say to do and flash
Reboot and see if it works

Unfortunately, I can't boot into TWRP, and my computer will not recognize the Kindle. I have all the drivers installed fine but it only recognizes it as a "portable device" with which I can do nothing.
With all the information I've given, does it seem like I could fix the issue with a factory cable? If that's the only answer I don't mind buying one. Since I had TWRP installed, would I be able to access it with a factory cable?

Do you know how I can fix the issue?

yah I know what will help since you cannot access recovery you need to get a bootloader on that so you can. you will need to fastboot flash a bootloader on it. I know you dont flash a zip because that will brick you bad worse than you are now.

How do I do that? I don't have a lot of experience with this and given that I've failed the first time around I'm wary of doing anything without completely understanding the process first. Do I need a factory cable to do this, and if so, what would I do once I have one? Where can I find the bootloader?

wait till someone can tell you with more experience than I for flashing a bootloader.

although there is a chance that you can power off your device start up kfu select the option to install fff and when it says waiting for device plug it in and hopefully it will push fff to your kindle when the utility detects it in fastboot. If it spits out some dialogue and your kindle reboots and you see a white kindle with a blue fire you will know its a success then you will be able to access recovery to fix what you messed up the first time

its a longshot but Im doubtful it could hurt
---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------
otherwise wait till someone can give you exact instructions like soupmagnet or kinfauns on how to fastboot flash a bootloader because its unclear to me yet in the meanwhile setting up a live usb with linux will sort out all your driver problems then you wont have to worry abot that part at least http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670405
---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------
just a side note you do the bootloader thing wrong you will create one of the hardest bricks to get out of IMO now you are only soft bricked it is fixable
---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------
also if you already see a white kindle and a blue fire logo then push your power button a few times till you get a boot menu select recovery this will take you into twrp. If so post back your problem isnt that bad

I've been trying last night and today, and it won't work. The version is 6.3.3. Drivers are fine, shows up as Android Composite ADB Interface in device manager on windows 7. I can access the Kindle as a drive on my PC. When I run Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9, it reports
ADB Status: Online
Boot Status: Unknown.
If I try to either manually set fastboot with option 1 Bootmode Menu, or try to "Install Permanent Root with Superuser" option 2, it has
Installing Permanent Root
Activating Fastboot (4002)
5090 KB/s (510876 bytes in 0.09x) then this:
couldn't write bp1, panic!
finds twrp.img, and downloads fff.bin. Then the kindle reboots, KFU says "Installing FFF..." and <waiting for device>.
But then does nothing, even after I swipe the lock and go back into file transfer mode on the kindle.
Anything I try to do reports "couldn't write bp1, panic!" on KFU. I have another kindle that rooted fine, this one just refuses to.
Any ideas?

Yes, I actually had 2 of them that rooted fine. They are all KF HD 7" First Generation. This one just won't. I'm now working with the KF First Aide tool kit, and I now get SU: ACCESS DENIED or something like that. Communication with ADB is fine, there's a permission issue somewhere I can't figure out.

Rooting Kindle running 6.3.3
so you have successfully rooted a kindle fire hd running 6.3.3? I have spent all day trying to figure out how to root mine and install a version of jelly bean. Could you point me in the direction of what versions of jellybean/kindle fire utility to use? i have tried using kf utility 0.9.9 and i have the same issue as you where it says the device is online but the boot status is unknown. Thx for the help.

Awww crapola. Nevermind. All I knew was that both of them were on 6.3.3, so I thought that was what they've always been on. Bzzzzt. The one that was working still has the adw launcher installed, but it doesn't have root any more. So THAT'S why KFU doesn't work on this new one.
They are my girlfriend's kids' kindles, and I told her not to ever update them, but I guess this one was pushed out.
So.... how long until theres a root kit for 6.3.3?

Didn't brick it, but didn't work either. The apk installs just fine, but when I click the "make it rain" button that says the device will reboot, nothing happens. The device does not reboot, and is not rooted. I tried rebooting the kindle and trying again with the same result. I guess I now fit the definition of insanity.

And... tried V2 of towelroot this morning. Still no worky-worky.
Somebody get a straitjacket.

Old rooting methods not working yah...
What I have done -
1. fastboot using factory cable
2. install TWRP+FFF with KFU
3.flash modified pre-rooted ROM
If Amazon continues updating 1st gen, not sure there are lots of enthusiasts, who would continue rooting it. Thus decided to switch to alternative ROM. Well, stock is better for battery etc... etc... but as I do also have HDX and most of time use it, having stock ROM on 1st gen is not as crucial for me.

According to this post (and the post above^^), if you have a factory cable (special cable used to power on in bootloader mode), you can revert to a custom recovery and bootloader and then flash a 6.3.2 ROM. Problem then is avoiding another OTA.

[Q] Can I stop an update that has already begun?

Sorry if this is a repost but I couldn't find anything on the subject.
I just got my Kindle Fire (1st gen) today and was toying around with it. It was connected to my wifi and then without prompting me shut off and began updating. I knew that there was no root for it so I turned the kindle off by holding the power button while it was updating. Is there any way for me to disable the update without powering it on the whole way?
It currently has 6.3.2 and I don't want to update to 6.3.3
I am aware that you can root 6.3.3 but from my understanding it requires a factory cable which I currently do not have.
Thank you
Update: I did some more digging and saw that it could be rooted but could not install a custom recovery without a factory cable. My apologies.

I would never shut off any operating system in the middle of an update. It is trouble. I wish you the best, but I think you should be purchasing a factory cable.

Not sure what will happen when you power back on.
Could download kindle fire utility, start run.bat
Connect kindle, to PC, it should power on when connected.
See what happens.
Bad idea to power off in the middle of installing firmware.

Maybe you could push fbmode can't test it my device is so far from stock never going back My point about smirkit is fastboot is not needed it writes bootloader and recovery from a running system. The only prerequisites are superuser or supersu, busybox with .sh working, terminal emulator and smirkit of course.

Neither fbmode nor smirkit work with 6.3.3

Yep it works I just need different commands
my steps
I just did
Step 1: Root the kindle fire
Step 2: Download fbmode
Step 3: Install fbmode by using adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp
Step 4: Set fbmode permissions by using: adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode
Step 5: Run these commands here:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./fbmode
exit
exit
Kindle reboots to fastboot mode
6. downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img and fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
7. placed in adb folder
8. ran these command in command prompt
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
9.done

I just use these files adb-fastboot.zip mirrors unzip and move (AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, fastboot.exe) to a folder in c drive named adb.
Also move fbmode, FFF, and TWRP. Be sure to verify md5 checksums for FFF and TWRP flashing a corrupt Bootloader is bad.

[Q] Can't copy ROM after installing otterX

I followed Hashcode's guide to install the OtterX partition scheme and updated TWRP to 2.8.2.0, and did it successfully, But now I can't figure out how to copy a ROM to the device, I've already tried to use the USB mount(nothing happens) Already tried adb push(unauthorized device) Already tried adb sideload(closes). I am at a loss of what I'm supposed to do, I have already installed the Kindle Fire usb drivers, and my device is found in adb, but it says it's unauthorized, I have no way of booting into a ROM, is there anything I can do?

Driver's are likely not correct

If you can mount, mount to your computer and copy the Rom and GApps of your choice, then wipe everything but internal storage and install the Rom. If you can't mount, then you are going to have to connect your kindle to your computer after selecting boot to bootloader and adb push the Rom and GApps of your choice, then shut down your kindle and reboot to TWRP, wipe everything but internal storage and install the Rom.

I can't get the Kindle to mount usb storage, But I can enable MTP and see it with "adb devices" But when I try to "adb push" a rom, or anything, it says to check the confirmation dialog on the device, which is not present.

Did you try "Reboot to Bootloader" in TWRP in the Reboot menu?
Also try this for ADB and Fastboot: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

I'm using adb from the "15 second adb/fastboot installer"

When I used the ADB Installer that I mentioned in the post above, I never needed to get a confirmation dialogue. Maybe you should try it and post your results. It most probably won't overwrite your 15 second adb/fastboot installation.

When I boot into bootloader, it goes to fastboot, and then adb can't find it, but fastboot can. I do have an otterX rom, is there some way I can flash it while in fastboot?

Alright, nevermind, I got it flashed back to twrp 2.8.2.0, now it is shown as an unrecognized device, I'm on the TWRP homescreen, where do I go from here

I would flash otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img and retry mount

fastboot flash zip rom.zip should work.
Edit: Don't try the above method of flashing in fastboot. Just flash the previous recovery in fastboot: fastboot flash recovery otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img with the otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img in the adb/fastboot folder.

Did that and got adb push to work!, but the rom won't install. It's the lollipop build that HC did a while ago.

Pretty sure you will need a Fastboot Cable see Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
There is a chance that [UTILITY] Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility V1.1 may work but it's unlikely.
or Flashing FFF and TWRP without Fastboot Cable may work
