Good day, I gonna be quickly.
Device information:
Kindle fire 8.9
System Version: 8.4.6_user_4620220
I'd like to install CM10.2 on my table, so i follow the next tutorial to get root, recovery, 2nd-bootloader, etc: (I can't post links but it's from the webpage wwwDOTrootkindlefireDOTcom, the article is called "How to Root & Convert Kindle Fire HD 8.9 into Pure Android Tablet!"
I follow every step as was there with two exception,
I change:
1. kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.3.img for kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img (from official post of Hashcode)
2. and kfhd8-twrp-2.6.0.0-recovery.img for kfhd8-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img (from official post of Hashcode)
everything went right, not errors, no mistake, just fine.
when i try to go into recovery by pressing power bottom and then volumen up, it doesn't do anything, i have tried with few seconds, holding it together, nothing works.... the table is working normal, once it turn on show the yellow logo, then the blue logo, and then yellow logo again and star normally the amazon os...
So am i doing something wrong? what should i do?
one more thing, the blue logo doesn't show up quickly as the video i saw, after the yellow logo it fades, turn off, on before stay quiet normaly, and then the yellow one again. is that normal?
Thank you very much.
Its in this order like this: turn on, let go of power button, hold volume down button until you see blue logo, and either continue holding it or let go as you see fit until you see the twrp logo. You can also get into recovery from in the os by using a mobile terminal and running something like
Code:
su -c "reboot recovery"
hope this helps!

Now after i enter the command my kindle won't turn on, it stuck on the yellow logo.
any other solution?... i gonna leave some doubts i have.
what would happen if i re flash everything after the root, i mean reflash the kfhd8-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img, kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img and kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin? will i brick my kindle fire? what happen if i re flash a older version of recovery? and boot?
Any suggestion what should i do now?
Um that's kinda odd, maybe twrp didn't flash correctly, even then I wouldn't expect recovery to corrupt itself that badly. Try restoring with kindle fire first aid and give it another shot.

i didn't make a back up of the system (i want it to do it thought twrp) and was the version 8.4.6, can i find any back up of that version here?
Edit: I kinda understand how that works now, i don't need the image of system, I'm downloading it to try to restore it, if not I'm going to use this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126. is that a good thing to do?
Thanks for everything, I'm sure my kindle will come back to life later.
That tool should work too, go for it.

Good morning..
I tried eveything yesterday but it won't pass the waiting for devices, with both application, but yesterday night i was able to go to the fastboot, with the fastboot today i can't go to fastboot with fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product it just turn on the kindle to stay stuck in kindle logo.. i might be wrong but i think this might be because i tried to many drivers... i don't know.
What can i do? i need to fix this :S, there's anyway to get into the fastboot? with other computer, if that so what should be the processes clean of installing everything, SDK, drivers, etc.
I knew what was the first problem, the twrp file i flashed was corrupted. i checked it with md5 :S.
help!
OK download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere. When you turn the kindle off, open the device manager on your PC, as soon as you plug the device back in and see a jem device with a yellow triangle right click it and hit update drivers and choose the location of my drivers you extracted. Its hard to get the timing right because it will only appear for a few seconds. If you can't get the timing right then try kindle fire first aims driver installer. I believe it has one that will automatically put the drivers in windiow's cache so it will install them automatically. If that still fails then go download a Ubuntu 13.10 live CD and either boot it from a flash drive or CD, and install the fastboot command package from the Ubuntu software center. From their you can type the command and it would automatically work because Linux is awesome like that and doesn't tend to have driver issues like windows. xD

Thanks, I'm going to use Ubuntu, windows will not work.
Once i get into the fastboot throught ubuntu, Do I have to come back to windows and use KF First Aide to restore stock os right?
or can I use ubuntu to do this? if that so, how? KF First Aide works on ubuntu?
Can't I just simple flash the system.img that is in KFHD_SRT_v2.1 folder? (throught ubuntu)
thanks a lot for the patience
I gonna leave these question to try no bother anymore. I'm asking because my KF First Aide yesterday won't pass after this lines..

and the KFHD_SRT_v2.1 didn't recognize the device even when i was in the fastboot already and my kindle was on the device manager installed as Kindle ----> Android ABD device (what i see is kinda wierd is that the first time i get working in the fastboot if i ask for devices it would should me some kinda of ID XXXXXXXXXXX but yesterday (and I'm sure is because the drivers and maybe something is not right installed even i read could be a conflict with Android SDK,) just show me the device product: Jem-PVT-Prod-04 not the ID.
This all the information i can give.
My kindle software/hardware was or is:
Kindle fire 8.9
System Version: 8.4.6_user_4620220
My OS is windows 7 64bits
I did install everything JAVA develoment, I did have android SDK already (because I flash a xperia sucefully) and it's on my C:\Program Files\Android SDK but i didn't install it, i just unzip it. here's a capture:
I'm using the fastboot that i used to get the kindle into the fastboot from the folder i used to flash twrp and root.
thanks for everything, sorry bother.
any advice will be great, have a good day.
kffa won't work in ubuntu since its a batch file, for some reason it never got converted into a bash script. You can just manually flash those images from ubuntu and it should work just fine, though i'm thinking there might not even be a need to, i mean flash the recovery image and it should work again theoretically, seems to me the idme mode just got stuck to recovery and never got reset because recovery is broken, but thats just my take on it, if that was the case you could change the idme from fastboot but thats kinda complicated because the numbers for idme on the first gen's were in the 4000's and the newer gen ones are single digits and i dont rember which digit is what option so i'd say try to flash recovery from srt and see what happens.

great i'll try that, while i'm waiting for the ubuntu to download i tried to install the drivers and i know now if the work, i guess not, i turn off the kidle run the command to go to fastboot and this is what i get.
that command was off, you left off a word, its supposed to be "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", just thought you might need it for future reference in ubuntu.

THANKS!!! i did fix my kindle fire.
But i still have a very last question...
once i get back to kindle with KFFA the OS system 8.1.2, I tried again to install the Cyangenmod. and get the stuck in the blue logo.
this time i made sure everything was checked, and everything was fine with MD5, all the files are from Hashcode. here's my question:
The kindle fire is running 8.1.2 and this file is kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img that means i need to find my version? or that will not matter at all?
I get back to stock amazon os, waiting to see if i try again.
THANKS A LOT ONCE AGAIN..
For future references, i did fix my kindle fire by uninstalling every driver once the kindle fire show up for 3 seconds, Use ccleaner, reboot the computer, and the in those 3 seconds i installed the stunts513 drivers, then i go back to stock with KFFA.
RE-EDIT: THANKS, i'm running now cm10.2. Thanks very much, this is solved, can be closet.
Hello !

what's can i do now ??
The problem can be from the battery or what ?
Thank you.
try a Factory Cable (Fastboot Cable)
FAQ Q26: What is a factory cable? What is it used for? How do I use it?
A factory cable, not to be confused with the OEM USB cable that comes with the Kindle Fire, is a USB cable made to emulate a Motorola factory programming cable. With the Kindle Fire, it is an easy way to access fastboot mode, especially when no other options are available. To use it, while plugged into your computer, simply plug it into a Kindle Fire that has been completely powered down.

see Kindle Fire Factory Cable
My son's Kindle started doing the same things. None of the Kindles are rooted so I started doing some research and tried using Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.9. However every time I try to enter fastboot I get the error that:
"failed to copy 'files\fbmode' to '/data/local/fbmode': no space left on device"
Now, is it truly completely out of space (which I wouldnt doubt with my 7 year old) and if so will I not be able to fix this no matter what?
Or is that not the case and ordering a factory cable would do the trick? I'll order it if it means fixing this much easier but I just didn't want to drop the $15 without knowing if that space error is going to still be an issue.

which opton where you trying 3? install TWRP?
try power off kindle, start kindle fire utility, select option 3, connect/power on kindle.
if that doesn't work there is a coupe of other options, see my UnBricking Tools list
if it does work
KFU will install TWRP version 2.5.0 you can not reinstall stock rom with that, you can try wiping Cache and/or Data.
if you want stock you will need to downgrade TWRP to 2.2.2.1, just download zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze(sd_shadow).zip and install in current TWRP.
Doesn't matter the option. If I choose option 1 to attempt to enter fastboot (as the status currently says its in 4000 not 4002) or if I choose options 3 to install recovery, I still get:
Installing TWRP...
If we get stuck here for awhile, power the kindle on and off a few times.
You should also check device manager for "kindle" If so, rerun the driver
installer that came packaged with KFU.

Anyone have any other suggestions. Seems like my only problem is this space error or I'd be able to complete the unbricking process.

Yes but it still requires me to perform
"adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp"
which produces
failed to copy 'files\fbmode' to '/data/local/tmp/fbmode': No space left on device
And I can't wipe any files without root. So it looks like I may need that factory cable, assuming that gives me access to clear up space without root.
and you tried starting KFU option 3, then turning on kindle fire?

no, fastboot cable just boots kindle to fastboot mode, where you can flash twrp recovery, which is what the fbmode file would do if you could push it.

So if there isn't enough space on your Kindle to push the file 'fbmode' to it, your pretty much screwed with a brick? I tried searching the web over and over for anyone else experiencing this. With such a small space available I can't believe this hasn't been ran into multiple times.

So I decided to follow clean install steps again. When I try to install the drivers those I get this error as it appears per some searching a lot of other's have gotten.
I'm using Windows 8.1 64bit.
So I'm installing Windows 7 32bit on a virtual machine to see if that's possibly the issue.
My Kindle Fire is 6.3.2.
I tried to root it using KFU. I went to install_drivers.bat, and it says "google, inc- Winusb failed." For some stupid reason, i chose to ignore that and went on to root through the KFU and "Install permanent root with superuser" and now it says
Fastboot uses a different device than ADB.
You should check device manager for "Kindle" or "Amazon"
If you see it, rerun the driver installer that came packaged with KFU
Installing FFF...
<waiting for device>
So I am now stuck on a permanent logo screen (Black and orange), with no animation. I can turn it off and on.
Pretty much everything I try to do ends with "waiting for device."
I believe it has something to do with missing drivers, although I am not entirely sure on any of this at this point.
Windows 7 or 8?

Maybe try the unbrick utility.
I'm having some issues with the KFU myself, after installing the drivers Windows device manager no longer sees the Kindle when it's stock booted. I can mount from TWRP but it appears under Portable devices as E:/ , not Kindle. Root and installation of google apps did not take, though it ran to completion and said all done. KFU hangs when it tries to activated Fastboot (4002) so many of the other options of KFU wont run.

So obviously I'm trying to install a ROM (Jellybean/ Cyanamogen). From this point, how would I go about doing that?

Ok, now I have another problem, with a completely different Kindle (6.3.2)
I've installed FFF and TWRP, and I'm trying to install Jellybean 4.2.2 on it through TWRP.
When I'm trying to move the ROM and GAPPS zips to the G: folder, it won't show up, even though the kindle is recognized as..
Android Phone
Android ADB Composite Interface
I'm almost positive this is because the Kindle has a passcode on it, which i forgot to remove before this whole process. This wouldn't be a huge deal, as a factory reset through TWRP would erase the pass code anyways. However, after I do the factory reset successfully, and then go to reboot-system, it will go back to the blue/white logo, then go to the white/orange unanimated logo, which it gets stuck at.
If there was a way to get the files onto the SD without going through the conventional way, it wouldn't be an issue, but i don't know of way to

You used fastboot.exe to flash twrp and bootloader, right?
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
so you have adb.exe that came with it, use adb.exe to push rom and gapps to sd card
place rom and gapps files in c:adb folder use exact file names
Code:
adb push romname.zip /sdcard

Did you get drivers installed?
x2110311x said:
Well, I tried that, and I ended up bricking my kindle (most likely because I tried the experimental version of his binaries) and neither of my computers (one runs linux, one Windows) are able to see the device correctly. Windows shows it as an unknown device, but I have the fastboot drivers installed. That's why I said I need a factory cable, hoping that I'd be able to get it into fastboot to repair it

I have little experience with Linux, but windows will not work till drivers are correct.
Did you in device manager uninstall unknown device, remove driver if asked, install drivers with Kindle Fire Utility's install.drivers.bat, reboot pc and kindle
may take a few reboots to get it.

I've done work with fastboot on my kindle fire with this computer before, probably only like a month ago, so I don't think that was the issu

Sorry, I didn't mean to say binaries, I wrote that response in a rush.
I used Pokey9000's experimental version of fbmode.
Right now, whenever I try turning it on, the green LED stays on, and it just stays at the "Kindle Fire " screen. Neither fastboot nor adb are recognizing it at this point.

If all you used is the alt fbmode file, it is likely in fastboot mode, which just shows Kindle fire screen with no animation.
If there is animation on the kindle fire screen, it's bootlooping...
It turns out that it was just stuck in fastboot, and windows was having some issues. I did nothing to the drivers, and it worked fine after trying again
Stuck on Kindle Fire(Doesn't Change) screen
Hello,
Sorry if this is addressed somewhere else, as I have been unable to find it.
I successfully rooted my kindle fire, then made it all the way to the "fastboot" part of step 6 of the fff and twrp post. The command prompt stuck at waiting for device. The kindle fire is now stuck on the unchanging kindle fire logo. I have tried the unbricking utility, holding the power button down for 20 sec. removing the device and drivers under device manager(I saw this somewhere else).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Which windows version? 7, 8?
It is listed as 'other devices' and then kindle in the drop down from that. I am running windows 8.1 at the moment.
Btw, thank you so much for the help you've already provided, the youtube video and your posts really helped me figure out how to troubleshoot and eventually root it successfully.

With windows 8, You need to disable driver signature enforcement, before installing drivers, and use the Instal.drivers.bat from Kindle Fire Utility
That took care of it. Thank you so much!

Can't root KindleFire
hi I am trying to root my kindle but it does work I use the Saferoot way and it does work
Corrupted settings.db- stuck in boot loop
Help, I toasted my Kindle Fire!
Ok, now that I got that out of the way, here's the details. I followed the steps from SDShadow's first post on how to root my Kindle Fire (6.3.3) and it worked great. Many thanks SDShadow! What followed was how I went off the reservation.
My purpose in rooting was to change 'mock_locations' to 1 so that I can receive GPS position over wifi and use my Kindle screen for navigation. Being focused on my end goal, I did not take the time to install Google Apps or FFF or TWRP. My mistake. Another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19688907&postcount=1) gave directions to do update 'mock_locations', but as with others on that thread, I ran into permission errors. Unable to figure out SQLite3, but able to find the 'settings.db' using ESFileExplorer, I managed to corrupt the file.
Not knowing how to test the updated 'settings.db' in any way, I copied the corrupted version to my Kindle and rebooted. The Kindle never finished booting, and that's when I realized that I must have corrupted the file. But now I can't copy my backup file where it needs to go because my Kindle never finishes booting to give me access to ESFileExplorer on the Kindle. I still have adb access to the Kindle from my computer, but still get permission errors when I try to push a file.
Is there a workaround to upload my backup settings.db file through adb, or do I need a factory cable? Does the workaround involve installing FFF and TWRP through adb while the Kindle is in its reboot loop? Either way, can someone provide detailed instructions for that?
BTW, I figured out how to modify my settings.db using SQLite3 Browser on my PC. So I can actually upload my desired file, if I can figure out how. But if I could perform a check in some way, that would be good...

best option is fastboot cable, but you can try some adb commands like
Code:
adb devices
you will need adb files
power off kindle, run command, turn on kindle, also can try
Code:
fastboot devices
if you get one of them to work we have some options

does show my Kindle serial number. As I said, adb seems to be working, despite the fact that the Kindle doesn't complete the boot process.
I have not installed or tried fastboot on my PC, so I can't answer whether that works.
Edit: I should mention that when the Kindle was still running, I allowed just about every permission in the on-Kindle superuser app.
So I was rooted and decided I wanted to go back to stock. Foolishly before doing anything I wiped my SDcard, deleting my TWRP backup. I went in to TWRP and wiped DATA and SYSTEM. Now I can not get my Kindle to boot. It just sits at the booting screen. I have tried to install several ROMs but nothing works. They all fail to install. I changed my build.prop to read as a Nexus 7 so that may be the issue but I can't find the build.prop file to edit it back. It's not in /system. KFU didn't help and I cant get the Unbrick tool to even run on my laptop (Windows 10). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure what you are trying to tell me here. I can see the Kindle in ADB. I can run ABD commands against the kindle. This is not an ADB or Driver issue. The issue is that I wiped the system and data partitions and now the Kindle has no OS and I can not get a new one installed.

Ahh okay. Thanks! I'll try that when I get home tonight then.
EDIT: Thought I could get FFF installed via KFU. I could not. Guess I'll have to order a fastboot cable to fix it

Finally got around to getting a fastboot cable. Now, how do I fix the Kindle? I'm not sure that it is going into fastboot mode. It just sits on a screen with the white and blue Kindle Fire logo and says "Booting..." at the bottom of the screen.

Still not working. As soon as I plug the cable into the powered off Kindle, the Kindle turns on. I then plug the USB into the PC. It sits at that same screen.
I run adb devices and it sees it just fine. I run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and is says "Waiting for device". I run "fastboot -i 0x1949 devices" and it returns a blank line. It may be a driver issue. I tried installing drivers from KFU but it fails every time. Any idea where I can get the drivers? I'm on Windows 10.

driver signature enforcement needs to be turned off, to install drivers from KFU
if adb commands work, fastboot commands will not, and visa versa
they are mutually exclusive
Could try running fastboot command before plugging fastboot cable in
