My upgrade of lollipop on KFHD 8.9 to latest of hashcode's release died aborning as my tablet somehow rebooted itself right after I "swiped to flash" in twrp.
I can get into fastboot, consistently, I've tried SRT 2.1, but I'm still stuck. Not sure what else I can try. I hate to toss the tablet, but I'm out of ideas.
Any help appreciated.

OK, folks. Hopefully somebody can help me out of this mess I've caused. I'm currently stuck on the Kindle Fire Screen with no access to ADB to get into fastboot or anything else.
Here's how I got there:
Fire was rooted and had CWM recovery installed using KFU
Downloaded Pure AOKP ICS ROM with 3.0 kernel
Flashed with CWM like an idiot, instead of using TWRP like the instructions called for
Here I am -- My Kindle shows up in Windows 7 Device Manager, but can not be found via ADB; it just hangs on the Kindle Fire boot screen.
I've done a lot of reading on the subject and I'm really hoping I won't have to resort to getting a factory cable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, folks!
The only thing I can think of atm is either the KFU or the kindle fire unbrick utility. Try both.. good luck..
Sounds like you are not bricked and fast boot is possible.
I would recommend trying to fast boot twrp onto it and get into recovery.
Hey.
Firstly i've had a read around, and can't seem to find any answers.
Tonight i tried to flash kindle back to stock using a video on youtube. Basically said to download the 6.2.2 stock rom, change name on the fire to update.zip then flash that in twrp after doing a system wipe.
I did that - i was coming from a ics rom with fff and twrp on. My kindle boots in to 6.2.2 but then i get application calender storage force close and process android.process.acore force close, and the kindle unsurprisingly just keeps restarting.
Im stuck. Any help or ideas?
When the kindle is on and attached to my pc, it says in device manager android ADB interface but when using KFU it doesnt see the fire (im assuming because its not staying on for long enough?)
Any help would be appreciated - im annoyed at myself! clearly didn't read enough before attempting this.
Thanks.

Can you get into Recovery??
Nope. No recovery on it anymore. Boots straight in to kindle fire stock.
Most likely this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28004774&postcount=10
Thanks dasanko and tera tike. Looks like i will have to try the factory cable see if that works.
Thanks for your help though. I will post back my results here.
Genius!
Well thanks to Tera Tike, all is well again.
Used Basic fire utility and followed tera's instructions, managed to get the fire back in to normal mode, then flashed fff then twrp, now finally back on good old hellfire kindle sandwich!
Man im happy now!
Must make sure to read more thoroughly how to flash back to stock before being a fool again!
Okay so basically I decided to root my Kindle Fire. I have rooted my android phone and my iPod before so I wasn't too worried about it, but it's gone horribly wrong and I need major help.
So here's what happened:
I got my root from rootkindlefire.com and followed the necessary steps (i'm running on 6.3.1)
It got halfway through and froze and I stupidly unplugged my kindle
Then it was stuck on this screen with a yellow triangle with a flame in it and at the bottom is said press power button for recovery, but when I pressed it nothing happened
So I went messing around online, in my drivers, etc. I ended up deleting my kindle drivers (like the original ones) and now my kindle is freaking out.
I watched this other tutorial on rootkindlefire.com and tried to follow the steps on how to unbrick it but when I managed to get into the recovery (i can't remember what it's called? blue screen with options like install, mount, reboot, etc.) and put the zip drive he said to, in there... i couldn't see it.
I then downloaded KFU and managed to get my kindle to reboot, but it is now stuck on the "Kindle Fire" screen. I can turn it off, get into recovery, etc. I cannot get it to move past the start up screen however.
I do not believe I am in fastboot, but one of the sites I was on could have misled me. Anyway... HELP! please... I'm sad:/

I followed all the steps and everything worked just like it said....but when my kindle rebooted, it is still stuck at the kindle fire screen but now there's animation...which it did not have before.
Any suggestions?
If your getting animation and it doesn`t go any further this usually indicates a broken system which TWRP are you using ? If you are using 2.3.1.1 there`s a problem with how it formats best you revert to an older version 2.2.2.1 or older then it should work for you. Full wipe except your external storage/sdcard, refalsh rom and gapps. The proper methods for wiping are also provided in the link I gave you.
Very good point though make sure your using the newest version of KFU 9.6 the older version uses burrito root which no longer works on the Kindle Fire. Really though alll you need is a bootloader and recovery rooting is obsolete.

First off, definitely listen to Thepooch and Josepho1997. Next, do you just want a rooted KF running the basic 6.3.1 firmware, or will you be switching to ICS or JB?
Next, is the blue screen you mentioned the TWRP screen? (TeamWin screen with 8 different choices)? If you are, then go to (I think) the bottom right and select mount, then mount system or USB or whatever it says. After that you can add files for a custom ROM or whatever you want through your computer. I forgot to mention that you need to of your KF into your computer.

Help
I have done everything that has been listed here. My kindle is stuck on the kindle fire screen, I can not boot into recovery and I do believe the TWRP that was previously on it, has been removed as well as the OS...My son was messing with it and all I could get out of him was he was on a blue screen and swiped to reboot and he thought it said no OS installed. So, I have the done the Alternate method for rooting, however, when run the kfu, it says its online but boot status is unknown. I can not get it to say any different. What am I doing wrong?
I'm rooting a kindle, and some weird things happened while I was rooting it, problems with rooting on Windows 8, But now that I have TWRP and FIREFIREFIRE installed, it won't let me boot to system. It flashes on and off of the shiny kindle Fire screen, then boots to TWRP. KFU says it is in Boot STatus 0x5003. Any help?

You're in the recovery boot mode. Change it to normal boot mode using kfu.

Hello, sorry to bump an old thread, but when I tried to boot into normal boot mode, it tells me "The system cannot find the file specified." I have been stuck in this TWRP recovery mode for so long. Even when I get into Normal Boot mode, how do I get JellyBean installed so it loads that ROM? I have the Jellybean ROM files on the Kindle, which I can access via TWRP, but don't know how to install. HELP!!!
Well, right now I did a factory reset of the Kindle and I was able to get the KF back to it's defaults. I copied the Jellybean .zip file and gapps Jellybean .zip file to the root of the KF. I booted into Recovery Mode and I was finally able to see both .zip files when I clicked on Install. I thought I could do the Permanent Root now that I did the factory reset, but once I ran it under KFU, it would go through the process to install TWRP and then boot the KF into TWRP, but it doesn't look like it completed the root. How do I complete it?
In the meantime, I had went into Recovery Mode, went to Install and currently loading Jellybean onto the KF. I'm currently stuck at Verifiying partition sizes and it's been sitting there for a few minutes. How long does it take before it's updated to JB?
System Only boots to TWRP and KFU will not see kindle
I have a Kindle Fire 1... Not the HD when I got it in Dec of 2011 I got some help to get TWRP and CM7 Installed on it, and it worked great until a couple of days ago and now there is no help in the kindle fire room anymore so I was wondering if there is someone out there who would be willing to help me to get this to work again either through teamviewer or a Chat of some type, Gtalk, IRC anything at this point to get this to work again.
I have tried everything from a Hard reset, and KFU will not see it and I even tried a unbricking tool and that cannot find it either. Please help me out.
Thanks

Stuck booting into TWRP
Hello Forum Lords, I hope that I found the proper thread for my problem.
I was simply trying to install Cyanogemod 9 on my wifes replacement KF1 after the first KF1 suffered some sore of hardware malfunction and would no longer take a charge. Somehow, somewhere I went horribly wrong this time around. I got stuck at the KF1 logo and eventually I got it to boot, but only to recovery.
My predicament is this: My KF1 is stuck booting into TWRP. Device manager on Win Vista recognizes the KF1 as Android Composite ADB Interface. When I try to use the KFU to boot the device into Normal Mode it says "cannot find the drive specified".
At the KFU starting menu, it says ADB Status: Online, Boot Status: 0x5003.
My ultimate goal is to get this thing running Cyanogenmod again. I am painfully noob at all of this. Please speak as you would to an escaped chimp who will not let go of the keyboard and mouse.
Thank you, anybody
Hi,
currently I am stuck at the non flashing "kindlefire" bootlogo.
I cant access TWRP anymore and my computer also does not recognize the kindle fire.. what options do I have to get a bootable kindle fire again?
What I have done in the last 4 hours to end up in that state:
follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105077
IMPORTANT: WHEN COMING FROM STOCK AMAZON OS
-Make sure you wipe everything while in TWRP before you flash anything!

I did like statet and ended up without OS because I wiped everything like statet.
Then, after booting into fastboot I tried that tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
It said that I recovered my kindle to stick firmware but In fact I am stuck now with the bootscreen.
Can anyone help me please?
after following this thread
Do you have a KF1 or KF2?
As soup said, are you sure you have a Kindle Fire 2?
Did you buy it new, and did it come in a brown or black box?
You might be OK to flash TWRP again, then use ADB push command to get a 10.1 ROM onto your Kindle. I would talk with Soup a bit in case there is an issue with his tool.
