hello everyone
I just rooted my kindle fire and something gone wrong with it, I tried to follow some online tutorials to recover it but it went worse and now its totally off, but when I connect it through usb pc cable its only blinkering on and off! any help please?
Well I've searched the forums and I can't find anything similar, which leads me to think I'm just missing something really obvious, but this is really frustrating me so I need help.
I'm trying to use the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6 to install TWRP and FireFireFire bootloader to my first-gen Kindle, so I can install Hashcode's Jelly Bean. I think I've got the normal drivers working as it shows up as ADB: online, although Boot mode: unknown is also reported. When enter "Install TWRP" it says it's putting the kindle into fastboot mode, but my Kindle seems to have other ideas. It just reboots normally and the utility is stuck on "waiting for device".
I've read one of your fastboot guides, which said that inserting the factory cable then inserting into a computer should activate fastboot mode. Well I tried that with what I think was the original cable, and it just booted normally.
I some small experience with rooting, but basically I'm a noob. I do have some Linux systems handy if they're required.
Any help would be appreciated!
Can't help much since i don't have a kf1..
But i CAN tell you that the ORIGINAL cable is not the same as a factory cable.

OK thank you, I didn't know that.
However I think even if I did get hold of one of these factory cables, it wouldn't help much as I need to get this program to work primarily...
any ideas what might be causing adb to be online but boot status unknown?
Personally, KFU v0.9.5 worked better for me.
Exactly the same result with that version, I'm afraid. :crying:
Are you using a USB 3.0 port? Maybe that's why. USB 3.0 is high speed, so maybe the connection got messed up...
How old is your computer?
Sent from a bird... No, a plane... Wait, It's a Kindle Fire!
I'm afraid that's not it... It's a 4 year old mid-range Win7 64 bit laptop. I did root my phone using this computer... I think I'll try using one of the XPs that I have on hand to see if that makes a difference.
Well I've tried on two XP computers and I can't even get the drivers to install.
Oops...
OK thanks for your input guys, you've been really helpful.
I feel really stupid now - my kindle is actually a kindle fire 2. That makes sense. For some reason I thought that a second-gen kindle fire was the kindle fire HD, and therefore mine was a kindle fire.
Sorry for wasting your time.

How'd u figure that out?
Well I saw everyone talking about software version 6, and I thought it strange that mine had software version 10. I then did some research and found that there were two kindle fires that look identical. Apparently one way to distinguish is by looking at the software version.
ok so i bricked my kindle and i have everything to fix it but when i plug my kindle fire hd in the computer dosnt pick it up. idk much but i read about some drivers needed so i tried installing ABD drivers so i would detect my kindle fire hd so i could fix it well they always fail to install idk why just dosnt install im on windows 7 and i dont even know if i need those any help at all is greatly appreciated
If its bricked it usually doesn't show up, you have to get it into fast boot mode with a fast boot cable in order to get your PC to recognize it. I saw u said HD though this is in the kf2 section, so I'm basing this on what I know about bricked hd's. I don't have a kf2.

Hello. A friend of mine gave me his Kindle fire 2nd Gen thats stuck at the Kindle Fire logo. He rooted it and did fire fire fire and has version 1.4a on it and also TWRP. I can get into TWRP, I can use it as a usb device and send files to it through TWRP but have had no luck in fixing it. I bought a Fastboot cable (factory cable) and it will NOT go into fastboot no matter what I try (Kindle Fire triangle). Im beating my head against the wall on whats wrong with this thing and have read so much my eyes are gunna explode. I have tried every fixit prog out there. ADB commands....it doesnt even see the device. I just want to flash this thing back to stock and from all the reading I have done a fastboot cable is key. But it doesnt work. ANyone have some time to give me some help with this???? I would appreciate it greatly.
PS. I have tried All/Most of the fixit progs out there...KFHD, Kindle unbrick utility, etc

Hi Guys,
I m using this Kindle 8.9 HD and was trying to root it few days back . Now its stuck at Kindle Fire Logo screen .
I have been seeing lots of threads but many of them are telling to use factory cable as my Kindle Fire just got stuck at <Waiting devices> when I m using normal cable . So want to try out with factory cable but not sure where to buy them.
So can anyone provide us some links for factory cable which worked for Kindle HD 8.9"
Thanks.
