So i been trying to find the answer to my issue everywhere. everything i try fails.
So basically my Kindle fire hd 8.9 is in a constant boot loop. it goes from orange w/animation, then blue w/animation... then after a period of time it says that it cant boot gives me option to factory restore (which does nothing).
when i have it hooked up to a computer, it connects for 1 second, then quickly disconnects. In device manager it comes up as "jem-pvt-prod-04" with the yellow "!". i even tried to use the amazon drivers from another post on xda, in that split second it would appear in device manager, i would update device and point it to the driver. then i will get an error saying it encountered an error installing Android ADB interface. problem encountered while trying to add driver.
Does anyone have any tips for me. im kinda stuck here and desperate with a very expensive paperweight. very upsetting!
I never tried to root, or mod this kindle fire. this problem happened on its own. or possibly after an update of some sort.
thanks guys.

You're not hopelessly bricked if your Kindle still boots to the orange logo.
Might I ask what Windows version you're using? Newer versions enforce driver signatures, and that enforcement will cause failed installations in Windows 8+ unless you disable the enforcement before installing the drivers. I would also suggest installing ADB and fastboot if you haven't already done so. (Use the 15 second ADB installer - it's on XDA, and it works wonders!)

Yes, actually i am using windows 10. My thinkpad has windows 7, so i will try to do this using windows 7. i will post back with results. its funny, out of everywhere i looked nobody mentioned windows 8+ having to disable enforcement. actually it will probably just be easier just to disable the enforcement. ill give it a try and report back.
still no luck. i was able to install the driver. but it still does the same thing. only connects for 1 second when i first turn it on. idk where to go from here? any suggestions?

Completely turn off the kindle and unplug it from your PC if it's connected. Open Command Prompt and type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product. Plug in the kindle when you see <waiting for device> outputted. The kindle should now boot into fastboot mode, from which point you can reflash the bootloader, TWRP, and the freedom-boot image in Hashcode's thread.

ok so im in fastboot mode now. i checked out that thread that you sent. but i have another problem, how am i supposed to get cm and gapps onto the kindle? is there a command i can use to put the files on the internal sd card? and i cant do the adb commands to push the stack, and do the other commands adb since i couldnt get it loaded to begin with, i am not able to enable developer mode. it would be nice if i could do those commands in fastboot mode. there has to be a way to do this....
maybe if someone can send me the stock partitions that they backed up stock boot partititons when they did it. maybe if i flashed them onto my kindle it will allow me to get it to atleast boot up so i can get into adb.
right now this is completely bricked.
can anyone help me? i just need the original boot loader, boot, recovery... basically whatever was backed up before you flashed it.
i aam looking for the original because i know mine was corrupt to begin with. my theory is if i load the original boot loaders and everything then maybe i can get into the kindle just so i can run the abd commands and then put cyanogenmod on it. unless someone has a suggestion on how i can get my device to be detected by adb ? the furthest i can get into is fastboot.

Once you're in fastboot, you should run these fastboot commands (most of which I ripped from Hashcode's thread) to flash the bootloader, etc.:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery
after that, you should be in TWRP, from which point you can use ADB sideload (enable in TWRP through Advanced -> ADB sideload) to flash CM. After running ADB sideload, you need to re-enable it in TWRP for each subsequent zip you want to flash.

That's going to be a problem... hold down the Kindle till it completely powers off. Then open command prompt, type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product , and plug in the Kindle when you see <waiting for device>. Does this get you into fastboot mode?

It sounds like you've got a newer bootloader that's been patched. Go ahead and download the files from Hashcode's thread, and type in all of the commands exactly as given in step 5. Those should fix the red screen issue and allow you to boot normally (or into TWRP, from which point you can ADB sideload CM).

no, i wish i did. the whole reason i started trying this was because the kindle was in a bootloop without even trying to flash it. it would go from kindlefire (orange) then blue, then it will ask me to do factory reset. and nomatter what i did i would keep going in the same bootloop.
so i turned to here for help, and following instructions now i am in this situation.
unfortunatley since i wasnt able to get into the kindle, i was never able to do any abd backups. so i just took my chances with it.
i was actually originally asking if anyone had the original files they can send me so i can try to flash those. atleast i can get it up and running because i really have a feeling this isnt working because i need to push the stack file over thru abd first.

You should be able to separately flash the system.img, boot, and recovery from this tool via fastboot. It's stock OS 8.1.4, but it should work.

anyone have any suggestions or can help me with my situation?? i am wondering if maybe someone could just send me the original backed up bootloader, boot, and recovery. i tried the original ones that were posted with that srt file. but it included everything but the bootloader. which is what i need. i know that in original thread they recommended to back up your original files (i was unable to do so because my kindle woulnt boot so i couldnt use adb to back up these files).
so if someone on here can send me the original files so i can try to get my kindle booted back up. that so far is my only theory because i tried everything else. i know people with advance knowledge would be able to help me in a heartbeat. any devs out there wanna help me out? i would greatly appreciate it!
anyone?

The TWRP.img file that comes with KFU is not TWRP. If I had to guess, it probably uses wget to download the file, for legal reasons? Maybe? Who knows? Replacing it with one downloaded from the TWRP website would probably be the easiest route.

You're going to have to clarify that a bit. Stuck where? The Kindle Fire screen? If so what does it look like?
The situation changes.
I dunno ecxactly i did, but my KF begins to stuck in the KF logo Screen, not anymore on loop triangles and windows begin to see my device.
So I tried the fastboot commands, but choose wrong:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
and now my KF stuck in triangles loop again and the windows can't se him anyomre.

Kindle Fire wrote on White and Orange.
But don't stuck there, after the logo disapear the triangles begin to turn in loop.
Try to pay attention. You are in normal bootmode, with a corrupt file system caused by CWM. When the device is "stuck" at the boot logo it is in fastboot. Fastboot mode is needed to install TWRP and a host of other activities. All of this you would understand if you had read the Kindle Fire for Beginners guide stickied at the top of the Kindle Fire General forum. You would have been directed to that page if you had read the sticky at the top of this forum, labeled "Before Asking For Troubleshooting Help...". With the exception of CWM acting up (arguably), these are the most basic of Kindle Fire problems and it is a waste of time for people to have to go over them constantly, and unecessarily.

As I said before, that put you in normal bootmode. And, as it is said in the KFFB, you can only issue adb commands in normal mode. Issue the adb command to change the bootmode to fastboot (4002) or recovery (5001).
[Edit:]Use your command line to change the bootmode. If your computer won't detect the device for adb, there is a problem with the device drivers (also covered in the KFFB) and need to be reinstalled.

Yeah, I undestand that. The problem is that I don't know what I exactly donne to KF acept my commands. The only thing i've donne for sure is that I change the USB port, but I tryed again with no sucess.
I am stuck also at the Boot Triangles in loop - I am having the exact same problems as you are Reinaque, so just know your not the only one.
I have tried all of the different tools, but I am still stuck in the CM10 boot logo. Also I am stuck on "Waiting for device". My kindle is recognized by my computer on 4000 boot mode through KFU.... It won't allow me to write any commands through ADB... Stuck with you!
EDIT
It will not for the life of it let me get into fastboot!
Well, I don't know what to do anymore.
I tryed with another PC, installed the correct drivers and try almost every fastboot command with no sucess, the KF still don't aceppt the commands.
I will try something with firekit.
Damm, I really think that I lost my new KF =[

The device has to be in fastboot mode to show up via fastboot.exe
Regarding your issues flashing the bootloader/TWRP, try using FireFlash, an apk that automates the process of flashing the exploitable bootloader and TWRP, using the freedom boot.img and TWRP files from the thread you mentioned in your post They can be anywhere on the device storage.
Stick the FireFlash apk on the device storage, install it with ES File Manager, plug in the freedom boot.img into the boot slot and the TWRP img into the recovery slot, check the box to flash 8.1.4 bootloader if you aren't already using it (red letters will warn you if you aren't) and check apply stack override. also check disable auto recovery update. execute the flash, and you're done.You can also use FireFlash to easily update TWRP later on if you like.

I can also directly follow the program? reliable?
thanks

If you are not seeing the blue logo, then the 2nd-bootloader / freedom boot / twrp img is not installed correctly.
I will post a small set of instructions in a few mins. But they require you have a working fastboot connection.

My point is that it is crucial to have proper drivers present and working BEFORE you even get into fastboot mode.
I would recommend you go back and re-read Hashcode's thread. Back up your system files before modifying anything, so you can go back if anything goes wrong.

but if something goes wrong, without the fastboot mode you can not recover anything the same right?
Surely my mistake was not to test the fastboot. Why can not I work in the device?? for drivers?
I think my kindle volume button is broken. Every time I reboot the device it always enter safe mode.
I reflash the device to stock but the problem still appear, now I want to back to custom rom but I cannot get in to TWRP (the volume up button not working) so I stuck at blue logo.
Fastboot and ADB still working.
Is there any way to install CM10.1 using fastboot/adb only without TWRP?
You can still get into twrp without using volume button, you just need to run adb on your PC with your kindle connected and adb enabled as follows:
adb reboot recovery
Or try
adb shell "su -c 'reboot recovery'"
If it is the second one u can run it from a mobile terminal app on the kindle, just take off the adb shell part.
Once you have cm installed I know for a fact you can reboot into recovery from the shutdown menu, but u have to enabled developer stuff on cm after u flash it. You can tell I'm half asleep when I can't remember the proper term and say "stuff"... Anyways if you want feel free to try what I suggested or search around for what I suggested. I am going to bed.

TWRP problem
Hello people
First of all thanks Hashcode for putting so much effort into it
I ran into a little bit of problem
First off regarding the BLUE LOGO
I first get ORANGE then BLUE n then ORANGE again with the animation
Second regarding TWRP
I can't seem to get into recovery while pressing the volume up button
It gives me a bad boot kinda error n then takes me to Fastboot mode
I hope you guys can help me out with this
Thanks
EDIT
Thanks to the above post i was able to enter recovery
Now it gives me two options
1 reboot kindle
2 reset to factory defaults
Question : How do i install CM 10.1 from there
You apparently didn't follow the instructions in the 2nd bootloader thread very well because you seem to have skipped a step.
To further explain what soupmagnet means, you didn't flash twrp to your recovery, that's the stock amazon recovery and is completely useless.

Thanks in advance
Usually updating the stock ROM will do it, if you made backups of the partitions like the tutorials tell you to do you can simply reflash them in fastboot mode.

I told someone else to try updating to the latest amazon os using Amazon's manual update the other day to fix this but it for some reason didn't work... But if you download the latest amazon is and update it it should work, however if it doesn't and it boot loops, technically you can go into twrp and tell it to reboot to boot loader (fastboot) and pull the boot loader IMG and recovery IMG from Amazon's update zip file on your PC and flash them via fastboot. If you need me to elaborate any just ask.

do you know of any tutorials on this? i could not find anything and as u can see i dont know much about this stuff so it would be appreciated.
Thanks
Wanna mention ahead of time, i am not responsible if you hard brick your kindle by doing this, i dont like messing with the kindles bootloader unless i have to personally.
Ok follow the instruction on Amazon's Website for manually updating a kindle. This might either bootloop/go straight to recovery once you do this, if not your probably on stock unrooted without twrp or 2nd bootloader, usually you can tell pretty easily since the kindle logo would be blue if it wasn't stock, assuming that for some reason it either does bootloop/go straight to recovery or for some reason works but has twrp and second bootloader please read on.
Keep a copy of the update on your pc. Now this gets a bit more complicated because i realized the update is a bin file, but if i remember correctly it should just be a zip file, so either tell windows open with winrar or 7zip, winzip, etc, or try enabling file extensions in your folder options on windows, and changing the extension to .zip. Once you do that extract u-boot.bin and recovery.img from the recovery folder. Put your kindle into fastboot mode(hit reboot then bootloader in twrp). Now you need a copy of fastboot.exe, so use a utility like kindle fire first aid and remember to put the recovery.img and u-boot.bin into the folder with fastboot.exe. Open a command prompt and cd into the directory that the fastboot command is in (in kffa) and verify we have a connection to the kindles fastboot by running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product"(if it hangs on waiting for device, open your task manager and update the driver for the device with a triangle next to it named jem with the drivers in my signature
.) Once that command can run successfully, run these three commands:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader u-boot.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
Now pray everything went well, because if your bootloader had a bad flash your going to have a hard brick. It should boot into stock os. Tada! I'm going to get soupemagnet to make sure i explained this correctly just to make sure i didn't miss something, you don't want to hard brick the kindle, that's a pain to even attempt to recover from without a major understanding of to solder and hookup an emmc to an sdcard reader.

Okay, let me stop you right there. There's no need to manually flash those images in fastboot and, as you are aware, it isn't the safest option.
To revert to stock (safely), download the appropriate software update for the device from Amazon (onto the device itself), rename it from update.bin to update.zip (very important), factory reset in recovery (extremely important), then install the update.zip in recovery.
Upon rebooting, there will no longer be a 2nd bootloader or custom recovery, and everything will have been reverted back to pure stock.
^^ what he said, I wasn't aware the amazon zip was compatible with twrp, it has files that a flashable zip tend to have but I never looked into it. Now I know something new for future reference. xD

did what you said but install failed so pushed cynagamod to it and installed now i am stuck on kindle logo cant do nothing not even boot to twrp.
Time for a fastboot mode and kffa... If you at some point installed the drivers for fastboot then this should go smoothly, if not you will have to keep your device manager open I. With does and update the unknown jem device that's detect to the drivers in my signature. Once you do manage to make sure that the jem device is detected and has its drivers installed turn the kindle off and unplug it, then on your PC run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", once it says waiting for device plug your kindle in. It should go into fastboot mode, once there use kindle fire first aid to restore the system partition.

lol i am so lost.
Basically you need to get a copy of kindle fire first aid from the 7" general section of the forum(yes I know it says 7" but its more liken all second generation kf's), open a command prompt as admin, and CD into the kindle fire first aid directory, run the command mentioned in my last post and plug the kindle in while its off. If it goes into fastboot mode then great, if not you have to install the fastboot mode drivers, you must open the device manager, and when you power on the kindle it should briefly show a jem device, you have to update its drivers to the ones in my signature before the device disappears. Once that is working run the command again. and do as previously mentioned.

Thank you so much for this solution. Although I get my 7HD to enter fastboot mode with cable - I can't get these other solutions to work.
In TWRP I REBOOT and see RECOVERY - but when I hit RECOVERY it just boots back to TWRP. Is that all I'm looking to do before going to INSTALL the .bin file (now renamed as .zip)???? thanks much...

Flash from TWRP and then reboot into system. You'll need to Swipe to factory reset first.

I have a kindle fire HD 8.9, where a system framework file was edited and turns out to be bad.
When i try to boot it fails and defaults to recovery where i have two options, to reboot, or wipe data (which i have done extensively). I want to flash a full brand new system image to get the kindle like new, (note: It was on system 8.4.6 i believe) so that i can go the road of android. If possible, please leave a way to revert to an old system version.
Also, this cannot be recognized in fastboot because it boots straight to the recovery when given the fastboot command to boot to fastboot.
Much thanks.

turn off the kindle, type the fastboot command, when it says "waiting", then plugin the kindle
This is always a pain, if you have never installed the fastboot driver you will have to install the driver when it briefly appears before that command will work, that's why this process is so much easier on Ubuntu 13.10. If you boot a live CD there's no drivers to install, you just need to run a few commands, 2 for the package manager then the fastboot command itself.

I was able to do this with modded drivers when it popped up in device manager, after removing driver verification(stupid windows 8...) , then use one of the various tools to get into fastboot because for some reason the normal command wouldn't do the job, then i used yet another tool to revert to 8.1.4, and i am now happily running ParanoidAndroid
EDIT: Thanks for the drivers by the way!
Hello,
Without beating myself up, here is what I did:
1. used steps from another site to root my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and attempt to load Android 4.4.2 on it. First major mistake.
2. during that process, the steps to make a backup didn't work and I continued. I realize that was my second major mistake, one from which I cannot recover.
3. attempted to use a Factory Image found on this site. I followed the steps, and when I perform the "fastboot -i 0x1949" reboot command, I get the "kindle fire" orange logo, and it sits there. I'm guessing it's bricked.
4. without giving up, I attempted to follow the commands found on this site here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175), but I've been unsuccessful.
So, I'm stuck looking at the "kindle fire" orange logo. My thoughts were to get an image on the device and boot into it to at least get all the necessary files for flashing the image. Nope. I would appreciate any assistance. I will also state that I am a very fresh NooB when it comes to these things. I thought I was prepared, but I guess not enough.
TIA!
Mike

if you never installed the fastboot drivers that would explain the issue. when the kindle first turns on after you plug it in while off, it should briefly be detected as a jem device in the device manager. if it already has the drivers installed it will briefly show up as a adb device. if you don't have the drivers installed then grab the ones from mg SIG and extract them somewhere and point the update driver box to it in the few seconds it is detected. once it is installed power the kindle off! run the "fastboot -I 0x1949 getvar product" and when it says waiting for device, plug in the kindle while it is off, it should go into fastboot.

OK. I followed your instructions and installed the driver. I then attempted to install a base image following the instructions here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126
I chose the following prompts: 1. enable fastboot, then 2. Restore-su/supersu.apk only, then 4. Erase cache and userdata, and finally Reboot normally. No luck.
I'd really appreciate any and all ideas/help. My hope is to turn this brick into something productive again.
What are you using to restore the kindle?

All I have are whatever people have shared. As mentioned in my initial post, I do not have a backup of what I had before I started. Perhaps my biggest mistake. My understanding is that I need to get the Kindle software back on it in order to install the Android bits. Perhaps I am in error on that thinking. Please let me know if that is an unneeded step.
Use either kindle fire first aid or system restore tool and stay away from kindle fire utility unless you want a paperweight.
