Hi all,
I got a boot loop with toggling between Amazon logo and black screen. Did a wipe of cache & factory reset and it persisted. So i downloaded the bin file for latest version from Amazon's website. I did a side load through ADB. The phone screen shows these and highlights reboot system now option.
Finding update package....
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
script succeeded: result was [/system]
Install from ADB complete.
So i then do a reboot and it goes in to the boot loop between black screen and Amazon logo. I tried doing it multiple times to the same result. What have i done incorrectly or am i missing something. Is this fixable or is it a lost cause?
This forum had been a great help in getting me do something on this bricked phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

it's crazy... mines is doing the same thing.
It all began by only working if the phone was plugged in (if unplugged, it restarts). I was running CM11
I decided to do a factory reset, that's when my troubles began
I did the adb sideload with the factory rom from amazon
It worked for about 24 hours and was usuable, but it still would restart if unplugged, but I'm cool with doing that until I get a new phone.
Now my phone is just boot looping the amazon logo over and over... it'll get your hopes when it makes it to fire logo for that split second then back to the amazon logo it goes.
this is so f'd up
It happened to me when I sideloaded the wrong factory image for my device (i.e. carrier vs unlocked). Try sideloading the other one.
Same problem with me. Moreover I can't go to recovery mode normal way. I can only go recovery mode only when I have phone attached with a computer using usb cable.
Please help with any idea.

Hi,
Believe me I have searched, read and tried most of the other posts relating to this problem but can't find anything that has been successful in solving my issue so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction:
I succesfully rooted my Kindle Fire and installed Jelly Bean, all working no errors. I could boot into TWRP (blue Kindle Logo instead of Orange with boot options at the bottom) and had actually tried a couple of different versions, it all worked well. Then I decided to reinstall the Kindle 6.3.1 again but I did something wrong in TWRP - not sure what the procedure should have been but I didn't Wipe Cache or erase when I should have done.
So now the Kindle boots to 6.3.1 with the Orange logo again (so it seems unrooted now) and when I get to the main screen I have 2 force close messages 'The Application Calendar Storage (process com.android.providers.calendar) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again'.And the same for process Acore. I can only hit force close and then the kindle shows the orange logo and I can swipe to log in and the same process happens and repeats.
I can connect to the KF with the cable the device shows in Device Manager as Android Composite ADB Interface and I can see various folders on the KF.
So I've tried re-rooting but can't get anywhere. The KF utility runs and says ADB status online Boot status:4000. If I run 3 to install (or reinstall) TWRP Recovery I get the activating Fastboot message and then
failed to copy 'files\fbmode' to '/data/local/fbmode': Permission denied
Unable to chmod /data/local/fbmode: No such file or directory
/data/local/fbmode: not found
The kindle has been told to reboot in Fastboot Mode.
< waiting for device >
It goes no further.
I've tried a variety of different fixes from posts in this forum but nothing has been successful. If someone knows of a post where someone has succesfully solved a similar issue please point me to it, or if anyone can help or suggest howIi can get the KF either back to 6.3.1 or TWRP back or actually anything other than what I've got at present I'd be grateful.
I seem to have communication with the device so cable is working, device is working (sort of) so I can't beleive it's the end of the line for it.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
For the benefit of anyone else having this problem I solved it. I did a factory reset from within the device section of More+. You have to be quick and it may take an hour or so of clearing the Force Close messages and then trying to get to More - Device - Factory Reset as quick as you can before the loop goes round again, but I stuck with it and suddenly the thing rebooted and I was back in TWRP!!
Subsequently followed the correct procedure to return the KF to it's original state:
1.Connect USB cable to Kindle Fire.
2.Mount it as USB Mass Storage mode.
3.At PC, rename Kindle Fire Software Update bin file to update.zip.
4.Copy update.zip to Kindle Fire SDcard (root level).
5.Turn off USB Mass Storage mode.
6.Unplug USB cable.
7.Power off Kindle Fire.
8.Power on it.
9.Press power button until light turn orange.
10.TWRP 2.0 Recovery will be loaded then.
11.Select Wipe.
12.Select Cache then Wipe cache.
13.Select Dalvik Cache then Wipe dalvik-cache.
14.Select Factory Reset then Factory Reset.
15.Go back to Home.
16.Select Install this time.
17.Then select update.zip.
18.Select Flash after that.
19.After installed, select Reboot System.
20.That’s all.
I did enjoy the Android experience on the KF but really only want to use it as a browser and battery life was far worse on with Jelly Bean. Anyway I can always root it again sometime.
Well I have fooled around with this Kindle Fire for awhile and seem to be at a road block.
It is my wife's who stated she left it alone for a week or two, came back to turn it on and it locks up at the stock KF logo screen.
From what I have gathered that means the OS is toast.
Tried to get the KFU tool to work untill I found out that it needs to be forced into 'fastboot' to receive commands. So I built a debug cable and forced it. I then ran KFU to install twrp, said it installed and was rebooting. I had to force reboot the KF and then ran a KFU perm root script, rebooted.
Now I get to the white/blue kf logo and boot options for twrp, yet when it boots it hangs on the Teamwin logo screen.
Is this a boot loader malfunction that will require the shorting method to force USB rom loading? Or am I just missing something like a regular noob?
Thanks

First off, have you considered installing TWRP manually? You may want to check the md5 of the recovery.img before installing though.
I enrolled in the Beta Program, and upgraded to Android O. Everything was great! Until I rebooted, things were acting funny. I have played with enough nightly builds and custom roms to realize, I need to factory Reset.
Bootloop.
I was able to get into the recovery mode: and then did another factory reset from here--
Now my recovery mode is only, "No Command" Vol up + power did not get me a list of options again
So, I followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/guide-fix-bootloop-locked-bootloader-t3608679
I got here: "click on all buttons and flash all partition files from extracted archive - except recovery ,userdata and cache."
And still was boot looping
So, I went to this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/req-help-to-unbrick-t3251740
Installing the "LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23" Looks rather uneventful.
But, I booted up with Vol UP+Power
and got to the Firmware Update screen.
It's been sitting at 0% for twenty minutes... "Do not unplug the USB connection until the process is completed"
and "LG USB driver installation is needed before starting LGUP"
and I will need to close my laptop in an hour
Im lost
Edit:
Okay, I got the LGUP to install a new TOT file--
LGH791 - resulted in freezing on "google" after reboot
LGH790 - also frozen on "google" after reboot
However, my recovery mode is no longer "No Command"
So I'm going to try to Sideload an update
I Has an operating system! I'm going to update my firmware to 791 now
hmm.. .no option for "BIN" so I'm going to leave it-- i was supposed to go an hour ago
[Follow-up] My sensors were "malfunctioning" with LGH790. Upgrading to LGH791 fixed all of my sensor issues.
I recently rooted and installed a custom rom on my 2011 (gen1) kindle fire.
I followed directions (https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire/development/how-to-kindle-fire-1-update-6-3-3-t2814955) to root.
Then I installed twrp latest version (older version did not accept my rom) https://twrp.me/amazon/amazonkindlefire.html
Then I installed the Infriction speed rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580232
I installed some apps... about 134 MB left in app install partition.
In developer settings I enabled ART, thinking, maybe this will make it faster...
Then it rebooted.
It was then stuck at a screen (not the android logo w/ words "kindle fire", but the bubbles screen of the os).
I decided, maybe I can fix with my pc.
Unplugged it - it then immediately shut off (loss of power??).
Then tried to use kindle unbrick utility, the various commands.
Now it is out of battery, but when I plug into PC or wall, it's in a boot loop, where it shows about 3 sec of the boot logo (android robot and words) and shuts off, before doing that again.
It is now undetectable by Kindle Fire Utility (just says "waiting" while the kfire reboots over and over), fastboot probably cannot detect either... (?) (worked one time but it just shut off again... and now doesn't work??), and can't boot into recovery.
Help.:crying:
So I'm assuming the partition ran out of storage?? but then what happened...
So I had a little luck trying to reset: ht tp s:// it stillworks.com/fix-kindle-fire-boot-loop-30462 .h tml
Then I got to the OS booting screen.
EDIT:
well that worked once... I tried to do adb reboot recovery after it got to OS boot screen (bubbles).
adb tells me:
error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Then it just fell into boot loop again. ?
So then I plug in, try again, it's just the boot loop. I'm going to try again after 30 min, but maybe need to do something different.
Cause of boot loop found
So it turns out it was just out of battery... I let it charge, did the reset thing, then was able to reboot into recovery.

I was installing the latest update on my 7T and it got stuck on the reboot animation. I waited about half an hour and it was still stuck on the animation screen so I held Power+Volume Up to force reboot, nothing happened. Got into recovery mode and deleted system settings and cache still the same. Drained it and powered it up again still nothing works. And my laptop doesnt recognize it if I plug it into the USB port. I can access both fastboot and recovery mode. I need to extract some very important data. Please please help.
Try reflashing the ROM manually. There should be a guide somewhere in the 7/7T forum.
