[Q] Need Some help with a bootloop

Hey guys, I'm not sure how I got my Kindle stuck in a boot loop, but I need some help getting it out. I have this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889 for unbricking. The problem I run into is that for some reason the utility wont show my device at all. In my device manager on my computer it shows the kindle as Amazon with the yellow triangle. I have tried everything I could find to get my computer and thus the utility used in the above thread to pick it up and get it out of the boot loop. In case you need to know the ROM I tried to flash before I had this issue can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614004 .

Exact same issue doesn't connect to computer

If you are getting stuck at the ROM's bootanimation and it won't go any further, your system software is broken. You'll have to get to recovery or at least into fastboot mode to fix it. If you have the stock bootloader, you have no easy way to get into recovery, so you'll probably need a factory cable. Read this...

This probably won't hurt either...

Thanks
Just contacted amazon about getting a new factory cable. Also, as much as I hate to admit it, I could probably use that guide

didn't work
Okay so I plugged my kindle in with a samsung charger I had, and it turned on when I plugged it in. Now it is plugged in, and it can't get past the kindle fire logo. What should I do? The computer doesn't recognize it either

Download in use Kindle Fire Utility from the development section. Use it install window driver for KF, install TWRP, and reset boot mode. It is the tool for you. You just need to study how to use it.
Hope it helps.

Kindle Fire may be bricked.

I may have messed this one up big time.I have read other threads and they aren't helping. I attempted to root my kindle fire using the kindle fire utility. Something weren't wrong about the time it was installing firefirefire. Now it's not accepting fastboot commands or adb for that matter. It just says <waiting for device>. This is all rather sad to me. I'm like a child who has broken his favorite toy. If someone with a little more skill could help me, that would be wonderful.

Factory Cable
So a factory cable has failed to work as well, although that may be from bad build quality.

Provide more info please http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644970

This is a typical problem with the way Windows handles
drivers. For some reason, when switching from normal to fastboot mode (necessary for firefirefire), the drivers stop working and need to be reinstalled. Sometimes it works smoothly, but most of the time, getting the drivers to work in fastboot mode seems impossible. Just keep working at it

A factory cable simply puts the device in fastboot mode, which it's already in.

Do a hard reset on you kindle fire whiles its plugged in. Then update the drivers again. Now open up another KFU run.bat and select 1(bootmode) and 1(normal). Now your Kindle Fire should finish rooting.

TKS Man!
FFF now works in my kindle.

Stuck in the orange boot loop and can't access ADB, TWRP or USB etc.

Now I'm in an even worse position to further prove my dopeyness. :crying: I installed CM10 and GAPPs in the root of my KF2. Went to do the wipes as instructed and then I couldn't get those files or access my KF2 via ADB or USB and I was stuck in TWRP with no OS. I couldn't do a sideload ADB through TWRP or Terminal Emulator since they couldn't find the device. FYI I successfully installed the drivers by restarting my Win8 computer and going through without signing drivers, but the device still wouldn't show up anywhere.
After that nightmare, I shut my KF2 down to do some work and then when I started it back up again, I was stuck in the dreaded orange Kindle Fire bootloop and I can't get into TWRP, ADB or anything else.
Any thoughts?

Re: I cannot get Boot Status 4000 in KFU and I can't install TWRP & I've tried EVERYT
KFU?
Do you have a Kindle Fire 2 (this is the kf2 forum)? KFU only works on the KF1.
Time to start reading. Too many people doing things like this lately..
Don't use ANYTHING made for the KF1 on the KF2!

Thanks!! I didn't realize. I also could swear that a KF2 thread lead me to KFU. Either way, what's the best method to get TWRP on my KF2. I love Jelly Beans. BTW I was able to install GAPPs with KFU without a problem. I just can't get a recovery on it.

I'm a dope. I installed the TweezerMod.apk and I have TWRP.
Thanks again for showing me the light. :good:

Yes. If you don't have a fastboot cable.. Get one. You'll need it to restore back to stock.

Its a fast boot cable? Dude- you need to read like EVERYTHING in the dev section here. There is a thread on recovery.

And PLEASE.. once you have recovered your device READ everything in the kf2 and kfhd forums. Use the xda app if that's easier, but read it all. I promise it'll help.

The original cables that came with the KF2 are not the same as fastboot cables? I thought I read that.

Thanks. I guess I'll order one.
Before I do that, is there anything else that can be done without getting the cable? Believe me, I searched and read everything I could find on the problem, but since I can't get into ADB or TWRP due to the lovely bootloop (and no OS), my options look very limited.
The super sad part is my KF2 was working great for around 1/2 hour, but I got greedy and wanted JB.
BTW if it might be my only hope, is there an easy way to disable Android SDK as pointed out in the First Aide thread since uninstalling seems like a pain?
Thanks again!

Your only choice left is to get the fastboot cable. No Adb, recovery OR ROM....
Not sure why you need to disable the SDK or what to do, since I've never used it on windows. I just use the files I need (adb and fastboot) and installed the drivers specific to this device. I've only used the SDK on Linux

Thanks. I figured, but I could dream. To quote the First Aide link you provided:
To keep your Kindle safe, we have integrated this feature into our software, You do not need any command line knowledge, just as simple as 1, 2, and 3.
Prerequisites for the Recover Options:
1. Install The Latest Version Of Java SE: Java SE Development Kit 7u13
2. Android SDK Must Be Disabled Or Removed

I don't know. Ask in the thread. The OP likes to help and communicates way more clearly than me. I'm sure he can tell you how to disable or remove it.

[Q] Go right to factory cable if having problems?

So I picked up a refurbished Kindle Fire 1st Gen for dirt cheap. Tried to root with KFU 0.99. It downloaded the necessary files, and said it would reboot the device, which it did, then got stuck in Fastboot. I have read this forum for about an hour straight and it looks like my best option is to get a factory cable and save myself hours of trying things. Most of the suggestions I find are way out of date, so I'm not sure what the CURRENT recommended suggestions are to fix this problem.
I can't get the Kindle Fire to show in Device Manager since it has been stuck in Fastboot mode. It just shows as "unknown device" in the USB section, even after uninstalling old drivers and reinstalling the ones with KFU, rebooting, etc. Should I just order a factory cable, or does anyone have suggestions for up-to-date things to try? (Today is 6/7/2013) Or will a factory cable not even work if I can't get the device to register in Device Manager anymore?
I have probably rooted 30 devices from Apple TVs to Android tablets and phones. This is the first problem I've ever run into!
Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you!

Something similar happened to me. I used KFU and then the Kindle got stuck in the logo screen. I reinstalled the drivers on a different computer and plugged in the Kindle. I just reset the boot mode and it worked fine.

[Q] kindle fire stuck in fastboot (i think)

So last night I decided to try and root the kindle fire to install custom recover and ROM. However everything went wrong. When I tried to use the one click utility I pressed one and booted into normal mode. Nothing happened so I read that you need to be in fastboot. So I re tried and pressed 2 to place device in fast boot and then it got stuck on the logo screen. I have been doing as much research as I can to fix this issue and can't figure out what to do. I do not have Linux nor have I ever used it but a couple times, I was using a gs4 charger to install root which I now think was a bad idea, the computer says waiting on device and can't connect to utility to go back to normal mode, I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in and tried to get some sort of connection but nothing and finally I do not understand adb and how to properly use cmd to manually do much. If anyone can help me in this situation and run me through some steps to fix it I would appreciate it so much. Thanks

Did you install your adb drivers?

I believe I did. I tried to install the drivers that came with the utility and it failed. I went to Google and searched amazon kindle fire drivers windows 8 and found two sets of drivers one called amazon kindle fire and USB drivers. Is that the adv drivers?

Did you disable driver signature verification on W8 before installing the drivers?
