Ok guys I'm going to try and give you as much detail as possible in the hopes that you can help me fix my Kindle Fire.
I originally rooted my kindle; it started acting funny about 6-8 months later and I tried a factory reset(this morning).
Now:
Kindle is stuck in FFF loading mode; it doesn't reset or turn on or off or anything like that it just hangs there.
Kindle is unrecognizable by windows, KFU, and Kindle Unbrick Utility.
Kindle also does not have access to the recovery menu I only have a FFF screen.
Any and all help is appreciated! PS I searched and searched and searched for someone with a similar situation to mine and did not find a fix. Also I read some of the stickies.

You're looking for an all encompassing solution to your problem instead of identifying what causes each symptom.
Try to find an answer to...
What does it mean when the KF is stuck at the FFF screen?
What would cause the KF to be unrecognizable by Windows?
What would keep you from having access to recovery if you have FFF installed?
Answer those questions and your problem is easy to fix.

I found an easier solution chow!
This is the 2nd Kindle Fire 6.3.1 I've rooted. The first one works like a dream thanks to everyone here at xda, you guys also helped me root and overclock my s3. My friend asked me to do his kindle and I'm having problems I searched through the forums to no avail. I already had the driver installed and checked my device manager on windows 7 and saw that everything was working . I opened up ADB 0.9.6 saw that I was online and rooted it, everything went fine. When I tried to boot into recovery nothing happens well almost. When the kindle fire logo is up it flickers and I think I'm seeing the recovery screen but it's only for a fraction of a second. I can't get the triangle to pop up. I also don't have the SU in my app drawer. I have tried everything I can think of. Any ideas?

this is the entirely wrong forum. we are the kindle fire 10.2.* community.. the kf2 community... the forum you seek is the kindle fire 1 forum...
Please help!
I recently rooted my sons Kindle fire 2 using TWRP, all was going ok until reboot when screen would flash every couple of seconds, flashing the kindle logo even when at the carousel screen etc.. also slow and slow to react to touch of the digitiser screen. From here I think I have got it terribly wrong and have wiped the KF of its OS and with it also stuck in fastboot.
I have made wrong selections on TWRP, then used TWRP command to boot the KF into fastboot. Now have no way to get it out of fastboot, only recognised on windows 7 device manager as Kindle Fire - Android ADB interface and also as a Other Devices - coprocessor which has no recognised driver.
Please note: i think I used nearly all options in TWRP and this is why I think I may have wiped the OS from the KF.
The fastboot screen is the traffic light logo, the green light is the only light that flashes!
when holding for 20 secs then powering back up it boots straight to fastboot after 1 sec of kindle logo showing.
Has anyway managed to save a KF2 from this state?
use this tool to recover:

otherwise read in the q&a section.
there are many more with similar probelms.
Thanks for supplying this info flopower!!
Lets give it a go!:fingers-crossed:
Totally Mental!
Ok, firstly I feel bad to all of you who do have a bricked Kindle but I have no idea how my Kindle has now recovered!
I bought another Kindle Fire as I made the conclusion that I had totally made my son's unusable. Tried all the recovery programmes with no joy. Was permanently stuck in fastboot mode with the assumption that no OS was on it after deleting all by accident.
My plan was to use the replacement box and put the bricked Kindle in it and return it to the store where i got the new one from, explain to the staff member that my son had just purchased this the other day and on start up and registering the device he was then informed that the Kindle needed to update the firmware. On reboot this Kindle would always show this fastboot screen, explain that I had a look also and could not get it back to its normal state. So I went round but switched off the Kindle first, informed the staff member of what has happened at the same time handing it over to her whilst switching on. I noticed that the Kindle logo as normal would come up but normally within a second it would go to the fastboot screen. This did not happen and I was like twat u twat you have brought round the new one by mistake! right enough the Kindle started up with the original first setup state. So I got myself away as quickly as possible and thought I will just do the same at another branch but this time put the right Kindle in the box. So now back at the house made a cup of tea and sat down, the Kindle which I left behind was on the table next to me and was switched off, I pressed the power button for some reason on it, to my surprise I was welcomed with also the orignal new set up screen! This was the new Kindle!!!!!!!!! I did take the bricked Kindle to the branch and for some reason it was now working, I have even just updated it from to 10.2.6 as it was on 10.2.0 with no issues, turned it on and off nearly 10 times all is perfect!
Unbelievable totally unbelievable! do not understand how the Kindle is now back in play!
I have rebooted tried all options of KFU, KFFirstAide etc etc..... always instantly rebooted in fastboot state! even upto an hour before going round to the shop it was still doing the same, I also tried to electrocute the Kindle so the mainboard would be fried! cant be believe it!
Sorry I will never be able to give an explanation of how it worked!
It seems as if you got off lucky. I incorrectly installed CyanogenMod, and got stuck on the boot anmation. Of course, I din't make a backup, and so I went to another thread and someone stupidly said to wipe the system. Now I'm left without an OS, as TWRP tells me. I don't know how I am going to fix this, as I can't post a thread because I have less than 10 posts.

Surely you just need to flash CM10.1 again?
Normally it happens when you flash a custom ROM over the KF2 standard rom. Wiping system and flashing cm10.1 again should allow you to boot, or you might have to do a factory reset to wipe the leftovers out.

Thanks so much. I figured out that all I had to do was wipe the system. Now I have Jelly Bean!
Almost same problem

Read the dev section. Not sure why anyone would do anything with their device without learning how to unbrick first...

I just flashed fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip, now the Kindle Fire HD will not turn on. Please help!!!
Seriously?... That's for the original Kindle Fire 1st Generation. You're in the wrong forum mate.
Also, what exactly happens when you hold down the power button?

Yeah, idk if there's anything that can be done for your Kindle since you flashed the wrong bootloader. But I'd wait until one of the experienced guys replies.
It's dead, Jim.
Well I got tired of modifying my stock Kindle OS and getting wierd results so I tried a Second Time to Install CM10 on my KFHD 8.9 (FW 8.1.4) Followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963 Got to step 4 and at this point the damn thing hard bricked. No fast boot, No Safe boot, No boot at all just a black screen. How come everyone else can seem to get it right but me? Anyway I have already recieved 1 replacement device from Amazon, and I am quite poor and cannot afford expensive tools or another system. So My question here is 2 fold. Is there any fix for this? and if so what is the safest way to attempt TWRP and CM10? Thanks and hope to hear from somebody.

Unfortunately that Kindle is more than likely done for good. What you flashed was for a Kindle Fire 2 to your Kindle Fire HD 8.9.
