The screen went blank and then I couldn't turn it on, even with a fastboot cable. Anyone have any suggestions[insert question mark here because my shift key is broken.] Oh, and i need one that doen't require opening up the kindle.

Hi, did you end up finding anything? I'm sitting here with an opened KF2 with what seems like no bootloader, no system, nothing. Trying to figure out how to go about the shorting method.

hello guys are in trouble. I have a kindle fire January 2 I installed twrpe put cynogenmod 10. Unfortunately it gave me problems with wifi so I tried to download a different rom but I have done something wrong in the flash and now the kindle is stuck on startup logo appears where kindle fire!! The problem is that is not even recognized by the PC. Please help me
please guyssss
If you can't enter "recovery" anymore via pressing the power button (e.g. you still have the original bootloader installed), you need to get the Kindle Fire back to "fastboot mode" to be able to set boot mode back to "recovery" from there.
From what you describe it sounds like you need a "Factory Cable" to get there. A factory cable is a special USB cable that the boot loaders of the Kindle Fire detect and then switch to fastboot mode automatically.
For both (fastboot mode and factory cable) you can find excellent tutorials in the "Kindle Fire General" section right here.

I'm Italian and I do not understand much ....
The problem is that my kindle is not more 'recognized even by the pc ...
The cable factory what?
Just stay calm. If your Kindle Fire still shows a boot logo, it's very likely you can get this fixed.
Simply read the following guides:

I'm sorry but I understand little English .... Basically I need a cable factory? I know where I can buy it indicate? (Unfortunately I can not find any Italian ....).
When posseggoil cable factory say that I can fix it?
Sorry, unfortunately I understand little English and are desperate ... I really need help
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
not neccessarily , i think you really need to imerse yourself in reading especially anything from kinfauns or vashypoo , trust me I thought I needed a factory cable too but you can do it , be patient , make sure you have the right drivers!!! Use a dedicated USB port (meaning one on the back of the pc), if your using adb the kindle drivers might work , it will say they are correct, but for me I used kfu and use there THERE drivers , they will work, kfu will get you a boot loader , might as well go FFF ,
Every Android device is different ,you may be proficient using Samsung , but Acer and Kindle are completely different , Kindle in particular is alot different than just android , READ,READ,READ EVERYTHING!
I need urgent help. As I wrote I bought a factory cable to repair my kindle fire.
But now 'I do not know how to do, and unfortunately I see the little' English.
I tried to connect the kindle with the factory cable and I get the screen that says: fastboot and the design of a traffic light. Now what do I do? I'm desperate.
I tried to use unbrick utility but I do not recognize the kindle
You have a KF2. Install fastboot drivers and install TWEEZERMOD (search on google) then install freedomboot and TWRP and then mount, install a rom for the Kf2 and u r done.
Sent from a bird... No, a plane... Wait, It's a Kindle Fire!
unfortunately they are in a dire situation. I do not know how, but where he made ​​some attempts, now my kindle does not connect more 'of nothing, not even with the factory cable and recharge.
I tried to attack the kindle to the electrical outlet, but will not charge, will not turn on even the lights on the power button, and the charger heats up but the kindle does not charge!

[Q] PC wont recognize my kindle fire 1

Hi,
I get almost new kindle fire 1 but computer won't recognize it. I tried with another one and computer recognize it fine. It's stuck in a boot logo. I don't have any more info about it. Any chance to get it work?
I've had this issue before as well, you should be able to get into recovery. Just make sure your fully charged and keep trying to get into recovery by pushing the power button down in order to select 'recovery' if you've got TWRP.
With your PC though, if it's never been recognised by that computer before then you need to install the drivers for the kindle fire. They should be around this forum somewhere, probably in the stickies if I'd have to guess. And if that still doesn't work for you, download a program called 'moborobo' which should automate all the steps for you and allow your computer to 'see' your kindle.
Good luck.
Hi,
Yes i find solution for my problem by making the Factory Cable and i get it in the fastboot mode. After that I tried to install FFF and now it is completely dead
I don't know why this happened at all... My kindle even doesn't show the power led end it stays off. Later tried with Firekit but with no luck

I am having a similar issue like yours. Yesterday I tried downloading Jellybean onto my Kindle. I did all of the precautions, TWRP, KFU, etc.
And right as I thought I was done, boom, I get stuck in an infinite re boot. Every time it finally boots up it says android.process.phone for not even a full second and immediately reboots. I am not the smartest, but if someone could walk us through a way to restore our kindles or fix the problem. I would be most gracious! I am not sure what the ADB is as well. Is that what I am missing?

I downloaded the sdk and i can now use adb. But, my problem now is that i cannot copy the fbmode to my kindle via adb. When i push it to a location, it says that my kindle is read only. So without the fbmode, i cannot boot into fastboot, cannot install fff and twrp and no os again. what should i do now?

Well your problem is nowhere near the same as June's, but I'll go ahead and try to help your anyway. I've had this happen to me once or twice. My suggestion is to redownload your rom and gapps, and then try flagging them again. Hopefully that should work. There is an option in TWRP to mount your kindle on your computer.

So far.
Guys, sorry I might not have explained the issue in enough detail. Although the information is full of things that are helpful. It didn't quite help me.
Sorry about having to deal with a compete noob here...
---I'll list my issues to isolate confusion.---
-I cannot boot ADB, I click on it, a cmd window pops up and then immediately closes each time I proceed to open it. for a start, if someone could perhaps tell me what I am doing wrong, because I know I must not be doing what all of you pros are doing.
-Although I had TWRP installed on both my pc and kindle. Whenever I boot up my kindle, I do not get the blue and gray "Kindle Fire" logo before the Orange and White logo. So that for me was very frustrating.
-The Kindle Fire Utility is not detecting my device at all. Which is worrying me to death, the Kindle Fire Unbrick utlity is not working either which is killing me inside.
-For a detailed description of what my kindle fire does when I press the power button goes as so: I press the power button, the orange and white Kindle Fire logo pops up for a few seconds like normal, then it proceeds to boot or "Attenpt" to boot the Jellybean OS, after waiting 5 minutes, the OS lock screen pops up with "android.phone.com" or "phone.android.com" pops up, for a second, then it proceeds to fully rebooting the OS for another 5 minutes. It does it indefinitely.
So does this mean my kindle is officially done for? Bricked? Or is there still hope for me. This is really depressing, I spent most of my money on this, money is tight for me right now ant I use my kindle for school and research. It is a vital tool to me. I need all the help I can get.
Thanks for all of the help so far. You guys really know what you are doing, thanks!

Hey Phil. Doesn't look like you've posted anything else, so you probably won't see this. But oh well... Sorry your problem got left in the dust. I didn't mean for that to happen. You need to shift + right click in the folder with adb.exe and click "open command window here" and then you can do your things. As far as everything else: does your computer do anything when you plug your kindle into it?
I accidentally did this once (at least I think it's the same) and what I did was I went into ADB and side loaded a custom ROM I used CM

[Q] Kindle Fire doesnt work.

First im not good speaking english, im Dominican and i dont know a lot of vocabulary, so i apologize if I confuse you a bit.
Ok,
some days a go i tried to install a custom software to my Kindle Fire 1st generation, i could root my kindle with a app, but when i tried to install the TWRP, the fire fire fire and the Recovery with the CMD or Command Pront i get a little lose, i mean, i did everything that said in one tutorial that i was reading, but when i finish i had to put on my CMD "adb reboot" to end the process, ok i did it and my kindle doesnt reboot,the kindle do nothing.
i mean the screen doesnt turn on, indicating that it was restarting, it kept in black and the power button was in green, i wait until 5 minutes and i push the power button to verify my kindle but it didnt respond, so i hold the button trying to turn on and nothing so, now my kindle doesnt turn on, even when i put my power cable to charge it doesnt do anything i mean the power button doesnt get green or orange and my computer doesnt recognize my kindle...
i think that this is the mother of the brick, if this can be named "BRICK". so if someone can help me I would appreciate...
Note: if i get you lose pls ask me i will answer right away... THANKS.

Stock FireTV 1st generation - stuck in boot

Hi,
My stock fire tv is stuck in boot process. When I turn it on loads the b/w amazon logo and, about 30 seconds after, the colorful amazon fire tv logo comes up. And that's it, nothing else ever happens. No reboot, noloop, nothing else.
I have tried to factory reset it by pressing alt+i+print-screen hundred of times while booting with no success. I have tried with 4 different keyboard (including a logitech k400).
I have tried to connect a USB-A to USB-A cable from the fire tv and the PC and installed adb drivers (all devices are recognized by windows and display and device manager) but I can't detect the device with adb devices at any stage of the boot process at all.
Does anyone have any other possible way to un-brick it? O any other suggestion to revive it?
btw, It "bricked" itself. One day I turned on tv and I saw empty menus and nothing happened if I tried to navigate on it... So decided to reboot it and... there you go, the way it is now.
Thanks in advance.
Anybody can help please? I've got a precious brick os plastic and circuits on top my desk right now....
