Got my kindle back
Just want to vouch for this procedure. I followed it and got my Kindle back to its stock settings. It is 8.4.8. I was able to root it, but when I tried installing the bootloader, I must have done something wrong (wrong version maybe?). It hung on a reboot and just sat there with the orange Kindle Fire logo. Volume buttons did nothing. I was able to get it to go into fastboot, so I figured it wasn't a total loss. After trying about everything else, including using KFFirstAide just by itself, this procedure finally did the trick. I unrooted it now, and I don't think I'll make a second attempt.

what can i fix this...?
When i try to reboot my Kindle in fastboot mode, i see his logo for one second only and then the system restart normally...
Sorry for my bad english but i'm italian

I killed my KFHD8.9 by some naughty fastboot command.. Had twrp and some older CM rom but everything was buggy so I was trying to update when I did something I shouldn't have apparently (I think the last command was a fastboot command before everything died). The kindle won't boot up, no screen, nothing. It just heats up if you connect it to charge is all I can tell.
I downloaded everything per instructions in this thread but after the first fastboot command nothing happens it just stays at "< Waiting for device >". Also, 'adb devices' doesn't report anything connected. All my other devices connect fine. I have also pressed the power button for 30s to make sure the kindle is off prior to connecting for fastboot command...
Can this be fixed? Thanks!

Try holding down the power button only for 2 minutes. Right around the 90 second to 120 second point, the device should reboot.

Sry about the delay.. I was counting on an email notification but never got one.. Anyway.
Tried it several times and this didn't work. The tablet doesn't boot up with this 2min+ power button press. Anyone have any other ideas please?

Not sure what Kindle you have since you did not say.
The HD Kindles as far as I know will not boot into fastboot using commands so, your is normal.

I am pretty sure your tablet is not recoverable depending on what fastboot commands you were trying when it stopped booting.
Do you remember what you were attempting to do?
If an incorrect non-signed partition was flashed to the tablet (e.g., from some other Kindle model), the tablet will be bricked.
If the wrong image was flashed to the bootloader partition, you are also bricked since the bootloader is key to turning on the tablet.
If your tablet is warm when plugged in, it means it charges at least.
Since the tablet will not turn on, or get into fastboot using the command line on your PC, there is nothing else to do.
The 8.9 tablet does not support the use of a fastboot cable.

Hi, my Kindle 2nd gen 8.9" HD will not power up at all either after flashing the wrong bootloader. Did you ever figure out how to start up your Kindle. Thanks.

Hi! Amazon Fire HD 8.9”. How to Install Google OS? Chromium? ArnoldTheBat? FydeOS? CloudReady?

My 8.9" gets to the TWRP 3.0.2.0 splash screen, but not past that... adb sees the device as being in recovery, but the device doesn't respond to adb commands, and fastboot doesn't see the device.
The 2-min power button trick powered the device off, but not back on.
Any recommendations?

Hello illeonid. Yes you have to search thread for disable driver signature enforcement. There is a thread somewhere on here with how to do windows 8 driver for firehd. I haven't time just now to find it. Will post back later

You cannot install these on the firehd the chipset just is not capable of handling such sofware with the paltry 1gb ram being main culprit. This is mostly tied up with fireOS and system apps already

Cannot boot to recovery

I recently acquired a demo model Kindle Fire (1st gen), and am attempting to make it into something useful.
I can successfully activate fastboot mode and (apparently) flash TWRP 2.2.2.1, as per this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452
However, the Kindle Fire will not boot into recovery, is not visible via ADB, and will not boot into the demo software anymore. I can still access fastboot by using a gerry-rigged factory cable, but thus far all my attempts to boot to recovery have failed.
The following are the results of my most recent attempt to flash TWRP:
C:\Users\Harrson\Downloads\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery C:\Users\Harrson\Downloads\openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img

...
OKAY [ 0.081s]
finished. total time: 0.081s
When I reboot, regardless of whether it's connected by USB or not, I get only a blank screen. No Kindle Fire logo, no nothing. The only way to get any activity on screen is to boot into fastboot using the factory cable.
I'd really appreciate any help you can give.

I'm a moron
Scratch that, folks - turns out the battery was completely dead, and since a) fastboot allows booting without battery and b) I didn't get the factory charger, the Fire was just refusing to boot due to low battery.
It popped up in recovery after ~20 minutes on a 1A charger, and I'm going to let it sit for a while before I try anything else.

Problem starting TWRP recovery

fastboot getvar unlocked:

Then i booted into bootloader using adb reboot bootloader.

Now when i restart the phone using adb reboot recovery i get the "dead android" logo. No key combination works.
When booting using the Power+Vol-Down, the phone enters the reset menu. I select twice "YES", but TWRP is not started, and the phone is empty
Any idea?
Thanks

i went through the exact scenario, and found the solution myself, you're typing the wrong command, take the battery out, plug your phone into bootloader/fastboot mode or do it via adb
adb reboot bootloader
then flash the recovery again just to be safe
then either type fastboot boot twrp-2.8.6.1-h815.img
or adb boot twrp-2.8.6.1-h815.img

Is this fixable? Did I brick this thing?!

Here's my problem...
My Kindle Fire HD (Jem) is stuck on the Kindle Fire boot screen (orange logo, no animation). I haven't been able to get it to mount to any of my computers running various operating systems. More details below.
Here are the steps that made my device like this...
Got root using the latest eploit for 8.5.1 successfully. I confirmed that I did have root level access.
Side loaded FireFlash11
Used FireFlash11 to try installing 2nd-bootloader, TWRP and CM. I got the files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175
Booted into recovery mode and immediately performed a backup.
When I soft rebooted after the backup I only ever saw the Kindle Fire boot screen (orange logo, no animation).
Some other notes...
In Ubuntu when I hard shut down the device and then start it up I get the message Unable to mount JEM-etc. etc.
In Windows if I when I hard shut down the device and then start it up I see something about JEM-etc etc in device manager for a quick second and then it dissapears.
I tried SoupKit on Ubuntu with no luck. I've tried just about every option but no luck. The device never mounts.
I've never had root on this device before. I just got this device a couple of days ago.
Please help! Thanks in advance for your time and effort!

Completely power off the Kindle (hold power button for 10 seconds), and then type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product into the terminal. Plug in the Kindle as soon as you get the <waiting for device> message. after a few seconds, you should get a string beginning with "Jem-PVT". If you do, download the 2nd bootloader, etc. from Hashcode's thread and flash them as directed in step 5. After that, follow the directions to reboot into TWRP, and your recovery process should be complete.

Thanks for taking the time to post, monster. Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. In fact, before I ever changed a thing on my device fastboot wasn't working for me (just ADB), in spite of everything being properly installed on my computer. Could this be an issue with 8.5.1? Any other thoughts?

If you've got ADB enabled on your Kindle (settings -> security if I remember correctly?), you should be able to type adb reboot bootloader and have it boot into fastboot without a hitch.

Although I did have ADB enabled on my Kindle, I am no longer able to communicate with it via ADB since using FireFlash11 to install the 2nd-bootloader, TWRP and CM. The Kindle now does not appear when I type adb devices (although it always had before using FireFlash).

Alright, I think I'm just going to return this one. I have lost all hope. Were the steps that I took above flawed? I'd consider purchasing this same device, but I need to know the mistake that I made. Can anyone tell me?

Monster, thanks for all of your help. I will name my first born male child after you. You earned it.
*EDIT I MADE IT INTO RECOVERY by using "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery" once in fastboot mode. I'll continue with your instructions now.!
Well, fastboot worked and so I got excited for a second there but unfortunately I'm stuck again. I successfully followed all of the instructions in step 5, but unfortunately I am still stuck on the orange kindle fire boot-screen. The logo never becomes blue....
I am not able to get into recovery by holding the up and/or down volume buttons
I am not able to get into recovery via terminal yet. I can still see "fastboot mode" with the blue arrow when I issue the "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" command, but it does not respond when I issue commands like "fastboot boot kfhd8-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img" or fastboot flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img" -- always just "waiting for device".
The device appears in Ubuntu's launcher as Jem PVT 04 (ONLY when in fastboot mode), but when I try to access it I get an error message about it being inaccessible.
The device still does not respond to ADB
Any other ideas?

Many years later and I find this post still helpful and it saved my KFHD8.9. I had this same issue with a KFHD 8.9 that I had repurposed to a photo frame. I flashed a new ROM to it, thinking it my photo frame app might run better on a different ROM. Only I hadn't flashed a ROM for a few years and got sloppy with the flashing sequence and wound up stuck at the Kindle Fire orange logo. I spent hours reading XDA posts and trying things to get fastboot and adb to get into the device during the roughly 2 or 3 second bootup window before it gets stuck. The problem is that the way windows 10 and windows 7 handle the USB drivers makes it almost impossible. I made an Ubuntu USB stick to boot from and loaded up fastboot, adb and the android usb drivers and was able to get my KFHD into fastboot mode instantly. Once there, it was simply a matter of running the fastboot commands above and I then I was in recovery and able to restore from a backup.
Many thanks!!!
