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

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.

Kindly read the linked thread it covers the state stuck on yellow fire sign screen
well how do i set up an adb? i dont understand
kindle fire utility 9.5
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?

<shakes head in disappointment>
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).

No never mind the previous post solved it I got the drivers right after I posted 2 days ago it is fixed and up and running now thank you for the trouble I forgot to post back :/
My kindle has no rom or recovery on it, and it is stuck in fastboot. ANY help is appreciated.
Same problem
I have the same problem with my Kindle Fire!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
Thanks, but ...
Thank you for the answer.
But my main problem is, first time, when i used KFU and installed fastboot, the reboot prozess started, but nevermore ended.
I see just the Kindle Fire logo on the screen, and nothing happens. I turn it off (long power button press), and i it on ... Kindle Fire logo nothing else.
The thread what you recommended don't help me, because i can't attach my Fire to my PC. (ADB driver installed and worked well last time)
Sorry for my poor english.

You'll find, when you read the thread posted above, what the "stuck at Kindle Fire logo" means, along with what would cause adb and fastboot to fail connecting to your computer. You may have to read more than two paragraphs though.

Sorry, what you said doesn't make a whole lot of sense because you've attached a photo of a recovery screen that you claim to have wiped... and that's not even TWRP you have in your photo, that's CWMR. Maybe you'd like to go back a few posts and read the guide in the link that was provided earlier.
Then, you'll need to describe what you have installed on your device, what appears to be broken, and exactly where you are getting stuck int he process of reinstalling the Kindle Fire software.
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 this is my situation...i got a kindle fire or kindle fire 2 off someone and when i got it i couldnt get passed the White and Orange Kindle fire logo so i decided to search these forums up and down trying different things...decided to buy a factory cable and i get to the Fastboot screen with the green blinking light and i get no further...i have never seen the home screen or anything..just that darn logo until the factory cable came in now im only seeing the fastboot screen...so im guessing this think cant be fixed.
im running windows 7 64bit and i have a linux live usb already set up.
i just wanna get this thing back to stock if its possible. if someone could possibly help me or if you need more info then by all means im here to listen or give the information needed to get this thing working again.
oh and i forgot the device comes up in the device manager as otter2-prod-04 ive installed the drivers from the android sdk
What you have is a Kindle Fire 2. Do not try to flash custom recovery on it until you visit the Kindle Fire 2 forums.

hard bricked kindle fire hd 7" fastboot cable flashing 8.9 bootloader,recoveries,ect.
So i had purchased a fastboot cable to unbrick my kindle fire hd 8.9 out of a boot loop. adb read great, ran fastboot and got it restored finally using kfhd tool. then started to attempt to load 2nds bootloader and twrp and now it seems to be hard bricked! won't even turn on or anything connected with the fastboot cable now and was working flawlessly earlier. major help would be appreciated ;please please--------------------------
ii
edit:- so what i thought was the 8.9" kindle fire hd is actually now that ive opened into hardware had come to be the 7" Kindle fire hd . So i believe the source of my hard brick via the fastboot cable (that was working so i should have known right there) trying to flash 8.9" bootloader, and recoveries, and imgs. Is there anyway out of this mess? the only avenue i could think to even work would be attempt the linux usbboot shorting trick withg the command prompts. only problem im having is find a tutorial or a pic confirming what i support to short on motherboard. all i can find is on different hardware with the kindle fire hd 8.9". ive ran the kfhd utilities but just runs as cant not load img or device not reconized. help..........

This is the HDX forum. not the HD. You will probably get better answers from someone actively working on THAT device, than you will here. You really should never mess with things you don't fully understand & you should NEVER use tools designed for older models or other devices. Older devices have different hardware in many instances, so everything is different. Flashing bootloaders or firmware for another device is often time a fatal mistake. I could be wrong, again check in the appropriate forum, but unless you have a custom recovery or safestrap installed, you are likely up a creek, short of jtag & to be honest, with the way the newer devices are, even that is a long shot.
The shorting trick doesn't work on the HD models, well it does but it doesn't, we need a xloader or uboot(can't remember which) that is signed by amazon when you start the process because the processor is a high security model. Only amazon and TI have those files and they aren't public. If it is hard bricked the best bet is to wait until we get the pinout for a 7"HDs emmc, once we do that you can solder a USB sdcard reader to the motherboard of the kindle and reflash the boot loader from linux and it will run again, so far we can do this on the kf2 and the hd8.9" model but we still are waiting for the 7" HD pin out.
