Fastboot Help

Ran "adb reboot bootloader and my kindle2 rebooted into fastboot mode, with the green and red light "stop light" on the screen. The Green light is blinking. The problem I am having is that my device comes up on my computer as Otter2-Prod-04 and I have no idea how to install fastboot drivers.

Use KFAID and install the adb drivers that come with it.

If your device is showing up as stated... Fast boot drivers are installed.
What is your goal?

Windows 8, but i've been thinking of creating an ubuntu partition because it seems people have a lot less problems with adb and the sort with linux.
I've tried the kindle fire drivers from the sdk, and the kindle fire hd drivers that some people used to root their kindle 2. had no problem getting my kindle fire to show up with adb. I've tried editing a driver to add the hardware id's that come up with the driver.

Very strange as the adb driver and fast boot driver are one and the same..
I assume you turned off driver signing and installed them manually (if not, do so)

What's the issue?
You're in fastboot.
That's what you want, you're done.
If you THINK there is an error with your PC connecting to the KF2 in fastboot, then try stuff with ADB. You say you want fastboot but you already have fastboot enabled. There is nothing more you can do to.....get more....fastboot?
Now, if ADB is having issues, then you should post what kind of errors or issues you're having, and then hopefully we can help more. As of now though, it seems like you're already at where you want to be.

I've got the driver installed after turning off the signature checking thing.
I just thought I would be able to issue fastboot commands, whenever i try and do that I just end up with waiting for devices. Not a big deal , my device is working just fine so it's not like im stuck or anything. Just trying to further advance my android knowledge.

Hey man, can you help me? How did you install ADB driver? could you be more specific on this turn off signature checking? I'm using windows 7 and even I manually install driver and did everything that you did I still have the yellow triangle in device manager and cant be detected in adb that's why I can't sideload files.

you've probably already have them installed. in device manager, right click on the yellow triangle and click "update driver" when it asks you if you want to automatically search, choose "browse my computer for drivers", then click "choose from a list of installed drivers" scroll down the list till you see "kindle" click on kindle and the driver you want should be called "android composite adb interface" that's how i got mine to work

Kindle only shows red screen

Ok im posting in hopes to help someone else and myself.
DEVICE: 1st Gen Kindle Fire (D01400)
PROBLEM: Kindle quickly flashes stock logo then displays red screen.
I created this problem by using the wrong root tool (Qemuroot) [This tool is made for a Kindle Fire HD]
I bought a fastboot cable i hopes to use KFU/KUU to unbrick the device.
However Windows 8 only shows the device driver listed as Otter2-Prod-04 (Unknown Device) I proceeded to install the ADB drivers, even manualy assigned the device driver, and disabled driving signing and reinstalled drivers. (Drivers appear to install correctly however won't show up in connected adb devices.)
At this point im going to use SoupKit. I will post the outcome.
If you have had a similar problem or know of a fix which I have yet to research please let me know.
Thanks

Tested with Ubuntu linux using soupkit & firekit.
Both resulted in <Waiting for Android device> same in windows as well.
So I tried another computer also running windows 8, installed fresh SDK/Java/Drivers.
Once again had to force the driver to replace the unknown device "Otter2-Prod-04" now the device says its working in device manager yet nothing in ADB or fastboot.
I will add when I plug the device in using the fastboot cable it shows a red fastboot text and a stoplight green is flashing.
At this point im stuck and have reached the end of google. Yup thats right the very last page.

More hours put into this. I can issue fastboot commands. So this now turns into a question.
Is it possible to restore my kindle using fastboot?

You should be able to if you can push fff and recovery over and flash them via fastboot
Should enable you to have recovery back and work from there

Well I killed my kindle.
Pushed the FFF via fast boot and now the device no longer powers on, no lights, no sign of life.

New battery ? Can you explain never heard of this before. I was under the impression that I killed the bootloader.

I was just thinking that the battery may have died

[Q] Kindle Fire 2 Bricked BootLoop

My kindle fire is stuck in a boot loop (i think) it just keeps saying "Kindle Fire" then restarts then says the same thing and does this for ever in this state the computer doesnt find the device. I have a fastboot cable and it does put the device in to fastboot. Then I switch the fastboot cable with a regular kindle cable then it finds the device as otter2-prod-04. This all happened when I was trying to put twrp on it. And I think I rooted it.

If it shows up now as otter on your PC you just need to use fastboot to reflash the system image. If you are have an exclamation mark in the device manager you need to install the adb drivers for it when its in fastboot mode.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app

Thanks for the reply but another problem that i forgot to mention is that neither adb nor fastboot find the device.

Check the device manager for an an exclamation mark then also, what fastboot command are you running? If you don't run the command with -i 0x1949 it won't detect it. So for a test try running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product".
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app

when I run that command it only says <waiting for device>. And also in device manager it has a exclamation mark.

Then u need to tell it to install the adb drivers for the device with the exclamation mark. That would be the reason the fastboot command isn't working. If u have rooted it then you should have the appropriate drivers laying around somewhere for adb mode. If not send either rpost back or pm me, and I will link u to my drivers I customized for kindles, though I am unaware if they will work with kf2 as is because I don't have its pid, only the vid may be the same, if that's the case I can always fix it and reupload it.

I also have a kindle fire second generation. But it's in a different bootloop, with the first bright white and orange kindle logo repeating every 10 seconds or so. Nothing else. No adb, no fastboot. Not recognized by the computer at all! Could you please help?

Sounds like you will need a fastboot cable to attempt fixing that.

Red Screen + no fastboot

Hello all
I realize the one post below me is almost the exact same problem, but I am stuck. I just got my kindle hd 89 and I already have a red screen. Every option I try to use to get fastboot does not work, whether I'm using cmd and typing in the command, using KFFA, or KFHD 2.1. I think I ended up with a red screen by using FireFlash but without checking the right options. If it matters, I started with 8.4.6. I really want to unred-screen this, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

hi beatmastermcfly,
I guess this will be a driver problem, for me win 7 64bit it works perfectly.
Have you ever tried KFHD_SRTv1.3-8.1.2 to start on another PC? Did you run it as an Admin?
You get a red screen when you try to SRT to enter fastboot?

I used KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4 and I am going to try KFHD_SRTv2.0- 8.1.3 , but the link to KFHD_SRTv1.3-8.1.2 in this thread appears to be dead. Anyone have a mirror?
And yes, the issue I'm having with KFFA, the SRT, and even when I am just trying to boot into fastboot via cmd, is that it says "waiting for device" and then when I plug it in it says "KindleFire" (in orange) for a second or two before switching over to the red screen.
I was able to do fastboot before the red screen showed up, so I doubt it has anything to do with drivers.

hi beatmastermcfly,
I asked because I recently in a German Help - Forum have 3 different PC's tried it with a user (always bare OS with identical increments). Only after 1 week it has then eventually folded.
the Pc's have not accepted the Fastboot.exe for any reason.

I do not understand what you are saying.

I will say that when I plug the Kindle in, my laptop makes the "device connected" noise followed quickly by the "device disconnected" noise and it even shows up in the device manager for the split second before it turns red.

What exactly is the device that shows up in the device manager call itself before it disappears? And does it have a yellow triangle on it?

At first it showed up under "portable devices" as an "unknown device" and I managed to uninstall the drivers in the hopes of re-installing them, and then the next time it showed up under "portable devices" as "jem-004..." etc. or whatever the code name for this type of kindle is. I think it just shows up as the category "other devices" now, but I do not have the kindle handy.

Depending on if it manages to stay connected long enough you might be able to install the drivers in my SIG, but I think windows cancels the driver install if it disconnects in mid install. If that's the case and running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and then plugging the kindle in doesn't go into fastboot you may need to boot a ubuntu live CD and do this from a terminal since the drivers work differently on Linux, they load up immediately without you having g to install anything.

Your solution to fastboot and redscreen issue
Hey beatmastermcfly,
I'm having the same issue you had with the red screen and fastboot not working.
Are you able to walk me through the solution you had with the the drivers that were recommended?
Did you end up using Ubuntu, or did you figure out how to do it in windows 7?
cheers

Hello I am very sorry to ask for help, I have this same problem and can help stunts513 beatmastermcfly, my kindle has a red screen and make everything after root, and the worst part is that my laptop recognizes it as unknown device which driver you downloaded work for you

Dead Kindle Fire HD 8.9
Okay, due to my own errors while using fastboot on my KF, it no longer does *anything* when I try to turn it on. I can't reenter fastboot, since ADB no longer recognizes the device (which of course, it can't, since the device doesn't start). I mean, it does *nothing* (although the hardware is in great shape).
Am I, as I suspect, just dead in the water here? I have the recovery files, but without ADB or fastboot, I no longer have a way to load them.
Should I just start using the KF as a doorstop now? Or is there some obscure solution to this mess?
rogerlig

Someone correct me but figuring concludes that the red screen is because amazon blocks tablet when it comes to a stolen board or losses , my I get a tablet I did not say much , so that the repaired but through the serial number of a personal contact amazon and they said it was lost and I imagine blocked the operating system so I could not use the tablet

Please Help!

Did you ever find a solution? Thanks!

On a win7 x64 box you need adb (there is a quick version) installed. The kfhd drivers. USC disabled. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU MUST RUN ADB FROM A COMMAND PROMPT ORIGINATED FROM THE ADB FOLDER. (shift+right click and select "run command prompt from here)

Did you ever get your kfhd 8.9" to work. Everything youve said so far is the exact replica of my kindle. I know its like 7 years later but this is still a problem for people

this is a COPY/PASTE of my own post. the files i specify are the exact names, just search this section of X-DA for them. SEE BELOW.
i had the same problem with the "red screen of death" as well. i found that if i installed the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and / OR (i did the minimal first.... ) KFHD_SRTv1.3.5 and RUN THE APP FIRST, then when it says "waiting for device" you then plug in the ALREADY OFF tablet it then WORKS!! says "fastboot mode" on the tablet. and it is listed in device manager also.
i got BOTH apps here at this board in this section.
WARNING: i run windows XP with all updates as of 10-31-2017 (pm me for info, 2 lines of text!! ) . NEWER windows versions have "permission issues". fixes are posted in multiple topics here in the Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD, 8.9" Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire 2 section. READ THEM!!

Kindle Fire Gen 1 Bricked Help

However, how likely am I to make this problem worse... Any thoughts or tricks that I haven't found would be wonderful.
