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.
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).

no i cant boot to recovery
How are you trying to get to recovery?
By using FFFv1.4a....

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.

ok let me try it..
Btw i m using stock version 6.3...
I tried updating it by booting it on normal mode
and going in settings but it shuts down as soon as i press 'update'

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

Alright, back story first :
Had ICS running on my kindle fire. I went to just delete everything off of it, but must of accidentally deleted the ROM itself. Went to go flash a new ROM, and it wouldn't flash it. Kept getting an error after it "installed". So i let it sit for a couple of weeks.
Where i am now :
My KF is currently charging (it is turning on and off, so it appears to be charging?) The kindle fire is recognized after i install drivers on my 64 Bit Windows 7 pc. I am using KF utility, as well. How do i remove all my roots, and start over again?

If it's turning on and then off again, it's probably a dead battery.

I figured that..it's probably completely dead. I will give the exact error once it charges all the way.
This is for my 9 year old daughter.
I bought her a kindle fire for christmas but she didnt like the user interface but loved the way my samsung note 2 ran. So to stop her using my note 2 all the time i decided to go ahead and root her kindle fire. Which i did fine. i struggled with installing cutom recover but found TWEEZERMOD worked briiliant along with the cordless APK.
i tried to install cm-10.1-20130218-UNOFFICIAL-otter2.zip and it worked like a charm. In cuoidstom recovery i did all the nessasary wipes beofre installing the rom to avoid being stuck at boot lolgo and it loaded up perfect!
i then downlaoded another om to test that (i shouldnt have pushed my luck) jb-4.2-kfire-hashcode-12-11 and it installed but never booted.
I am now stuck on the white and orrange kindle fire logo. my computer wont recognise or ackowladge that the kindle fire is plugged into it so i cannot use unbrick utility or anything.
I have been upp all night desperatly trying to solve this problem and im stuck.
please please help me i have do get this done before my daughter wakes otherwise i lose all hero status.
i will await your response
thank you

Hey guys thanks for the imput been sat here for ages waiting for a reply so im very greatfull. Do you mean reboot the phone into recovery via KFU?

Ive tried holding the power button for 20 seconds to reboot into recovery but no joy
Nothing happens
When i switch it on it just stays on the "kindle fire" white and orange logo. When i hold the power button down, it switches off. So if i hold it for 20 seconds it powers on for about 15 seconds (still holding power) then it goes of. I have plugged it into my laptop when its off then it comes on (back to the kindle fire logo) but the laptop wont detect it.
im in dyer need of help here
No option for boot into recovery. Piror to me installing the second rom a blue "kindle fire" Logo would show and say " press power button to boot into recovery" id press it and that took me into twrp. And as you know from there i can do wipes and reinstall a rom.
But it doesnt get past "kindle fire" white and orange logo.
this is where im stuck.
there is nothing on this site that i have found to help me out it looks like a new problem. which is just my luck.

You don't have FireFireFire installed so you need to get a factory cable.
Factory cable? hhmmmmmmmmm now im in trouble. What would this do?
when you say factory cable do you mean the cable that came with the kindle?
Factory cable
PLEASE NOTE: THIS CABLE IS NOT A STANDARD USB DATA AND CHARGING CABLE IT LOOKS THE SAME AS A STD CABLE BUT IS WIRED TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO A STD USB CABLE. It is a factory cable that is specifically designed to access functions on devices that cannot be accessed with a standard USB Data Cable.
What is a Factory Cable?
Unlike a normal USB cable these cables are wired in a way that allow compatible Motorola phones or devices, including the Kindle Fire to recognize a "factory" setting when plugged in. This allows the phone or device to power up and be flashed without having a battery in the phone, (no battery removal is required with Kindle Fire). Depending upon the model of the phone or device, it may also boot up differently than it does with a normal USB cable.
A Factory Cable is used when your device is being made in the ‘factory’, the manufacturer plugs in a cable and loads the Operating System for the first time. They use the special cable as shown in the Ebay listing above which makes the device download a boot-loader easily. A Factory Cable allows you to do the exact same thing – it enables someone to load a new boot-loader easily. This can, in turn, be used to load new ROMS (Operating systems) and access a device such as the Kindle Fire in a boot mode when it has been impossible to access the Device.
If you want to buy one, go with SkorPn's factory cable. Unless you are cheap and you want to buy it from China...
Here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20380015
It is different from a regular USB cable or a power cable like the one that came with the kindle in the sense that it shorts the kindle, which causes the device to be put into fastboot.

Is youre kindle a KF2? before you rooted/rom'ed it, what was the system version? I think you flashed your Kindle Fire 2 with a KF1 rom. Was your 1st rom from here: http://get.cm/?device=otter or Here: http://get.cm/?device=otter2. If your rom was the 2nd one, you have a KF2 and you flashed the rom for the KF1 on the 2nd one. You will have to get a factory cable (The one jma9454 shows)
Ichigo said:
Ah, yes. I took a look, and the first ROM you flashed was powerpoint45's build fore the kindle fire 2. You said it worked like a charm, so I assume you have a kf2. You should not flash any ROMS you find over here, for they are kf1 only

And TweezerMod is only KF2.
Case Solved!
ok guys im back!!! thank you all so very much for your input last time round i need to call on your good selves again!
I have purchased a factory cable. I have it plugged in to my laptop and on the screen i have in red the words FASTBOOT with a green light flashing.

You have a 2nd generation Kindle Fire. You should probably start with the Kindle Fire 2 forums.

As much as I would LOVE to take your money, there are others more deserving of your donation...

Kindle fire 2 ,10.3.1
Hi guys, ive been reading on this forum for a few days now. Whilst i wait for a factory cable to try restore this kindle fire 2.
My brother tried to flash it and turn it into an android tablet. I was there when the rooting was done. And it was rooted using the Bin4ry Root and qemu root. And verified with a root checker pro apk. Which i had installed.
Now from here on out i was not there. He was trying to instal the cm10. First he ran the Automated Freedom-Boot and TWRP installer apk, from the device itself.
When it rebooted it displayed the kindle fire logo and then went straight to a red screen. Which is where he handed it to myself. Ive rooted and flashed a few phones, but the kindle is proper confusing me.
Anyhow. I ordered a factory cable. The cable came today. I hooked it up and tried to run Kindle fire first aid. And plug in the kindle. It shows a red light and a green flashing light and says fastboot. (Im asuming thats good)
However when i choose option 1 to restore the kindle. The highest option is 10.2.4 (i think, going by memory here). Not 10.3.1 which it is on. So i try that. It detects it in fast boot but says it cant reach or find directories.
Tried it restore from backup folder, again comes up with directory error. This thing is only 6 months old. Im not sure what else to try.
I was looking for kindle fire utility 2 to try but no luck finding the download link.
If anyone can help me id be greatly appreciative i have read the forums.
from what i understand the 2nd bootloader install did not go as plan and due to being a red screen it was not signed. And now a fastboot cable is required. Which i have.
Just not sure what to do now, ive tried restoring it. And it fails. I tried reading the forums. Searched for hours. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your patience and time
