HELP! Cyanogenmod Broke My Kindle Fire!

Hello all,
Right now I am getting very pissed at my kindle. I rooted it with KFU and installed TWRP and then flashed it to twa_priv's CM10.1/SGT7 ROM. After flashing it and gApps it got stuck on the cyanogen boot screen/animation. I tried to reboot it but it doesn't even show the option to go into TWRP anymore. It shows the orange Kindle Fire logo then goes straight to cyanogen and the logo just keeps spinning. I am getting ADB status when I connect it to KFU but I can not do anything with it or put it into Fastboot. Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point!

You shouldn't be mad at the Kindle, it didn't do anything wrong.
On the other hand, you probably failed to wipe system and factory reset before flashing the ROM (installation instructions are in twa_priv's SGT7 thread btw). Unfortunately, short of opening the case and list of other things that are outside the scope of this conversation, you're going to need a factory cable to get into fastboot.

If you're getting adb and the Kfu works why cant you just change to fadtboot from there?or re install root from here, adb should be able to give command line to access twrp

Personally I would say go with Skorpn's. They are made in small batches with great quality, fairly inexpensive, fast shipping, and everyone who gets theirs from him seem quite pleased with it overall. He's got a pretty good reputation on XDA so you should probably look into it, if not for that reason alone.

[Q] Bricked kindle fire wont register at all on my system

I never managed to finish a root using kindle utility I am unsure but believe it was my battery being low but it never would load back onto the program after the utility rebooted it. windows said it was unable to tell what kind of usb device the kindle was. I just need to know how to get the thing to be recognized on my computer. if i can get that far i can use an unbrick utility i found to fix it. Atm it doesnt load at all passed the orange and white kindle logo and im trying to charge my kindle but it is certainly acting odd, no way of telling if its charging or what. But i just need some general instructions or references to other links. maybe i mis installed the abd not sure. If anyone can get me going in the right direction I would be greatly thankful.
is it just one the orange and white logo? or does it like animate with a flash going from right to left? If it just sits there then you are probably in fastboot mode and can flash twrp through fastboot

KFU (kindle fire utility) is not the same as ADB. KFU is just a one-click tool used to root, and put a custom recovery on your kindle fire. So, do you have Kindle Fire Utility downloaded?

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

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.

Connect kindle, to PC, it should power on when connected.

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.

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] Rooting Kindle Fire 1st Gen 6.3.4

Hey all!
I'm sorry if there's a post about this somewhere and I missed it but I looked and couldn't find anything.
I recently bought a 1st gen Kindle Fire off a friend of mine and I want to root it so I can have a bit more usability than what it comes with. The problem is that it's running 6.3.4 and I've only been seeing root help and tools for 6.3.2 and lower. I tried using the KFU but the root tool there wasn't able to perform the necessary operations (it just restarts in fastboot and won't continue from there). Does anyone have any tips or advice for how I would still be able to root this device? I've even looked into trying to revert back to 6.3.2 but haven't found anything that allows for that.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

I recently bought a 1st gen Kindle Fire off a friend of mine and I want to root it so I can have a bit more usability than what it comes with. The problem is that it's running 6.3.4 and I've only been seeing root help and tools for 6.3.2 and lower. I tried using the KFU but the root tool there wasn't able to perform the necessary operations (it just restarts in fastboot and won't continue from there). Does anyone have any tips or advice for how I would still be able to root this device? I've even looked into trying to revert back to 6.3.2 but haven't found anything that allows for that.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

Okay, so I followed all of the steps to the letter on the first post you listed and its rooted and have Google apps on there now through KFU. The problem is now that I can't install TWRP or FireFireFire. It goes back to not working in fastboot. I'm pretty new to rooting but I want to put some version of android onto this but I can't find any troubleshoot for this particular problem.

When I try to push the fbmode file to the kindle it keeps saying device not found (adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp). Its one of the first steps. I have the drivers installed and the computer is recognizing the device is connected but it's not going any further. I tried reinstalling the drivers but nothing's worked so far.

I did, and then when I was ready to do it myself I put it back on with the intention of following you step by step but I got stopped right here in the beginning. I have the C drive adb folder with all of the files you listed and I verified each download.

I've tried it with two different USB cables in every port on my computer with no luck. I even tried my old Motorola USB cable that I used to root my Droid years ago with no success.

I haven't been able to push any other rom to it but I did use KFU to install Google Play and GoLauncher but beyond that I haven't done anything else to it.
