What do you mean by saying your KF has not FIREFIREFIRE?

First of all, FIREFIREFIRE doesn't just magically install itself. What did you use to root the device? I'm sure whatever you used to root your device installed FIREFIREFIRE.
And your Kindle isn't bricked, it's just in the wrong bootmode.

Uninstall/delete and reinstall your drivers and try again.

the 4sec interval signals to fastboot mode! You got to enter necessary commands during to stay in fastboot mode and flash the custom recovery TWRP and than re-install update.zip(kindle update bin renamed). consider the link below for twrp and root manual install plus relevant commanline,those commands will help to flash and boot into twrp mode after installing it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24129239
P.s.remember to point to the directory containing the fastboot and adb command files in my case c:/program files (x86)/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/ ALSo, in future to factory reset the device, install the kindle update.zip (renamed kindle update bin file downloaded from amazon kindle site)

how do i enter the commands? with a program if so give me a link to get it plz

With all due respect, had you invested the time to read the threads posted earlier, the answer would be pretty obvious.

Remove and install your drivers for your kindle fire. Than install kindle fire utility found here in xda forums. Install and run the utility select option 1 and select normal 4000 boot mode. Plug in your kindle fire and turn it on. This worked for me. Booted right up just be patient it may take a few minutes.

what are the drivers and where do i find them and how do i reinstall them?

With all due respect, what on earth made you think it was a good idea to root the Kindle with such an obvious lack of computer literacy? Were you aware of the risks?
Your problem is simple to fix but it requires at least some basic working knowledge of a computer. Do yourself a huge favor and Google search "Kindle Fire USB drivers" to find out. And not to be hateful but I think it's highly unlikely that many people here would be willing to go through the arduous process of explaining how to install device drivers.
I would suggest doing some research on the matter and come back with a better foundation to work from.
Otherwise I think your best bet would be to revert back to stock and forget about rooting all together (requires research).

[Q] Bricked my kindle fire!!!! PLZ HELP...

My kindle fire is stuck at FIREFIREFIRE bootloader ( the screen which has a kindle fire logo and an android logo above it)....
My conditions are like this:
Kindle fire - ROOTED
ROM - Kindle Fire Stock Rom
TWRP - Installed
FIREFIREFIRE - Installed
And i could'nt find 'kindle fire' in my windows device manager when i plugged my kindle on my pc...
Help will be appreciated...

This is a must-read: [GUIDE] Kindle Fire For Beginners
Be sure to read the first 3 posts.

not finding ' kindle ' , or 'android device' on my windows 7 device manager...so how shud i get rid of it? has anybody experienced it?
Long press on the Fire power button does nothing - doesn't launch TWRP in recovery mode. Entering commands in a Command window from my laptop isn't getting through to my Fire. And, as I mention above, the Kindle Fire device is not available on my Device Manager

After reading the guide potestasx offered you, do you you understand why your device is stuck at the boot screen?

I think i've been stuck at boot loader due to lack of battery....
I fully charged it after that...
but its still stuck...
Cant find 'kindle' or "Kindle' on my Device manager...
So dont know whether i on Fastboot mode or Normal mode...
I assume that i m on fastboot mode...
i tried installing drivers from 'install_drivers' in 'kindle fire utiltity'...
but none changed...

Known Tricks
If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.
Please note: If your device can't be seen in fastboot mode, please make sure to install the drivers packaged with this, as it will show up afterwards. You can use the install_drivers.bat with the device plugged in for this.

Not quite. First of all, you're in the wrong bootmode. You just need to change it back to normal and you'll be just fine. The guide posted earlier has information on the different bootmodes, how they work, and eventually how to change them. From your description it should be pretty easy to fix.
You also need to pay attention to the second post of that thread as it will help you verify that your drivers are in order. The third post will give you the necessary tools to fix your problem and any others that may arise.
I will tell you this, after you've changed your bootmode it would be a good idea to reinstall TWRP and then use TWRP to install FFF1.4

Thanx a lot Thepooch...My kindle fire is working now....
thanx.... I m thinking of installing FIREFIREFIRE v.1.4...It has fixed charging mode and other..
It'll help if it happens further...
Thanx again

Your welcome be careful with it now

I thought it's working but it is doing the same thing again again... it is rebooting and sticking to the bootscreen again after using 5 mins.....Cant understand the problem behind it...what to do?

Are you able to boot to recovery? If so, you might try running a backup and then load a custom rom just to test normal boot. I've had bootmode issues twice with the stock rom (6.3 & 6.3.1).

Run fastboot 5001 (full command in the guide thread).
If it says waiting on device, hold the power button until it shuts off and then power it back on. That should alow you to get into recovery.

Yep, that'll do it. The stock roms were not built to update with root/recovery installed. I learned that the hard way, too.

Kindle fire stuck in reboot loop

This is somewhat unique, I haven't found an exact duplicate of this problem yet, but basically I have 2 original KF's. I rooted them months ago, and installed android 4.2 on them. I got a couple new tablets and decided to bring these back to factory defaults, so I went through the process. One worked great and is currently able to do everything as per usual. The second is in a perpetual boot loop. I can't get FFF or TWRP to install because it won't stay booted long enough. It will boot usually with the Kindle Fire gold and white text, and then go to the unlock screen. Once I swipe to unlock, I get a handful of errors about processes not working properly. I can navigate around for right about 20 seconds before it immediately reboots. There is no shutdown process, just a black screen and then the KF logo again. I have a full charge and I am at a loss, any suggestions?

I ran TWRP and had a custom rom on it before, but then reverted back to stock rom and am now running 6.3.2 from Amazon itself without any custom bootloaders.

So I got mine working, and now I feel really super embarassed.
Not sure which trick finally did it, but here's what I did:
I can't paste links yet as I am a newb user on the forum, but google for "kindle fire usb debugging" and open the result saying "Setting Up Your Kindle Fire Tablet for Testing". Note that there are two steps in that guide, first install the Amazon provided USB-driver and then prepare your Kindle.
Then the embarassing part: change the USB-port. I tried with three different cables and four different ports. Apparently the ports on the front of my desktop pc aren't good for this. After switching ports to behind my pc, Kindle Fire Utility all of a sudden was able to push in TRWP and FireFireFire bootloader!
4th: Wipe EVERYTHING using TRWP. Everything might not be necessary, but I figured why not. Even the SDcard had to go.
5th: Push in an older TRWP with instructions from here: teamw.in/project/twrp2/79
The instructions are a bit messy, after "idme bootmode 4002" you should exit the adb shell and run the fastboot command.
Having the older TRWP seems to be the only way to install Amazon's stock rom, newer ones give me errors. The version I used was 2.2.2.1.
I also installed the 6.3.1 version of the stock rom just to be sure, and let Kindle do the update afterwards on its own.
Everything seems to be working now, hope you'll get yours working too!

[Q] Kindle Fire stuck on booting with kindle fire blue logo!

Hello guys,
Well am kinda stuck with something really annoying with my kindle fire (1st Edition). Since it had amazon software, i wanted to root it into android jelly beans Rom which i was able to do. But it was a bit laggy so i decided to root it with another Rom which i found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747564. I plugged the kindle into my pc and i copied the Slimkat Rom and the gapp build 6 into the storage. Then i used the run application found in the KFU. Next thing i did was i pressed the number 1 which is bootmenu and then number 3 for the recovery and it went into TWRP. There i wiped the Dalvick cache, cache, and system. Then i went in install and there were the 2 files Slimkat Rom and the gapp. I installed both which was done fine and i rebooted the system. Here is where it gets nasty, upon rebooting the system it shows the kindle fire blue logo and at the bottom it says Booting...and nothing happens. Its stuck here and i dont know what to do. Another problem is that when i plugged the kindle into my pc with the kindle fire blue logo and the booting...stuff, it doesnt even detect it anymore. Can u guys see if u can help me with this please
Im using windows 7 Ultimate service pack 1 64-bit. Please help me do something to make it work again. Thnks.

Slimkat ROM is an otterx. You need the new boor loader and twrp 2.7.1 in order to flash the ROM. This will change your partitions to otterx rather than the Amazon layout. If this sounds confusing, you should choose a standard otter ROM, not otterx.

Lost root on sd_shadow pre rooted 6.3.3, not showing in device manager now. Help.

Long story short.....I went from CM7 to the prerooted 6.3.3 from sd_shadow. Put off moving the OTA.cert, and lost root tonight. My own fault, I know.
I figured....no big deal, just use my fastboot cable, FFF and recovery, etc. and back in business. I'm a little out of the loop, so I'm missing something simple, I'm sure.
I simply followed the instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53652317&nocache=1#post53652317
with the intention of flashing the updated pre rooted 6.3.4, but it wasn't accepting the commands, said waiting on device.
I checked device manager, and the kindle wasn't showing, and the drivers are installed from the first time I did this. I ran the driver install again, just for fun, rebooted, and still no show.
I also plugged in my wife's old first generation kindle, and it didn't show either, so I have to conclude it's not something specific to my kindle.
So, right now there is some issue getting the kindle to show in device manager.
It has to be something simple.....I hope.
I don't need to root first, correct? My assumption is, plug in with my factory cable, and simply flash FFF and TWRP, and go from there, but please correct me if I'm missing something.
Any suggestions??
And....thanks in advance!

Kindle was updated to 6.3.4?
Don't need root if using fastboot cable.

Yes, it got the 6.3.4 update from Amazon. My fault for procrastinating.
It was sitting right next to me when it happened, and didn't realize it. The kindle was sitting here, I had just got a book, and out of nowhere, it re booted, and it was weird....twrp flashed briefly on the screen, and then some commands, like after a flash, then it went black, and booted back up, like a stock kindle. I wasn't 100% sure what happened, at that point, so tried to boot back into recovery, but it doesn't allow it now. I just get the regular orange KF logo when booting, the blue/white is gone. Most of the apps that came with your pre rooted 6.3.3 are still there, but the play store doesn't work, for example. So it's basically a stock kindle with 6.3.4
What's odd is that it's not showing up on my pc, and I'm sure that's all the problem is, but I can't understand why.
Windows 7, for whatever it's worth. Kind of frustrating.

Rooting it now, while watching your youtube video. No option to install GAPPS from KFU, and I downloaded 0.9.9. I guess that's no big deal, right?
And, when this is done, will I install FFF and twrp manually?

# 1 in the KFU was bootmode menu, nothing to do with Google apps, or any of the other things listed on that video.

Got to the fastboot devices step, and no return code, and tried your instructions here

After that first code, I got waiting on device.
It's not showing up up in device manager as Android phone, or unknown device. Just doesn't make sense to me.
Seems like I've tried all the drivers. I must be missing something.....very strange.

I can try my laptop. Maybe tomorrow, it's too late, and I'm getting sort of pissed now. Need to walk away.
I could simply put KFU on my laptop, and run the install drivers file on that, and see if it shows up, correct?

Sooo, back at it. Got busy for a couple days.
I installed KFU and the USB drivers on my laptop. Installed the drivers, restart...and had the Kindle plugged in. Upon restart, it installs the drivers, and for whatever reason, the Kindle has the swipe screen showing. Kind of weird, so I think maybe I can reboot it, and by a stroke of luck, the option to boot into recovery will appear again. Wishful thinking, I know. Nope. Boots into fastboot, and there it stays. Here's where it gets weird....it will not show up in device manager with regular usb cable, but if I plug it in with my fastboot cable it shows as an Android phone, as it should. It's stuck in fastboot mode, no matter what, but only shows when connected with fastboot cable.
So....do I follow the instructions for flashing fff and twrp using a factory cable or??? Since when it got stuck, I was trying to issue fastboot commands manually. I feel I have no choice, but curious what someone much more knowledgeable thinks I should try.

Sooo, back at it. Got busy for a couple days.
I installed KFU and the USB drivers on my laptop. Installed the drivers, restart...and had the Kindle plugged in. Upon restart, it installs the drivers, and for whatever reason, the Kindle has the swipe screen showing. Kind of weird, so I think maybe I can reboot it, and by a stroke of luck, the option to boot into recovery will appear again. Wishful thinking, I know. Nope. Boots into fastboot, and there it stays.

Sorry....the KF swipe screen, and the orange and white KF logo, no animation. That is where it sits right now, but only shows on my laptop while connected via fastboot cable, which seems odd, but I'm better off now than the other night. At least I think so. I've got a pulse.

Should I just try flashing twrp and fff with fastboot cable??
