Red Triangle Kindle can't boot.

I brought a Kindle Fire 2nd Gen and wanted to root it. As soon as I took it out of the box it started updating itself to 10.2.3. When I attempted to root it, it started working very slow and the boot logo would randomaly appear and now after alot of searching and trying to fix I now have a red triangle with the message
"Your Kindle device cannot boot.
You can reset your device to Factory defaults to fix this issue (all data will be deleted from the device).
<Menu options>
To reboot your device press and hold the power button for 4 seconds and release.
To reset to Factory Defaults, press the power button 5 times in succession"
Restarting doesn't work nor does trying to reset to Factory Defaults it simply goes back to the same screen.
you're boned contact amazon and tell them that it just keeps going to that screen... DO NOT SAY THAT YOU TRIED TO ROOT IT.

Don'y know what you did in the end, if you contacted Amazon for a replacement, or if you acquired a Factory cable.
This should be recoverable by using a special Factory cable to get Fastboot mode, from which you can flash backed up partitions.
Ideally you should backup your own partitions on your new KF2 straight after rooting it. This thread has the instructions:

Hi,
I have the same problem right now, with the same device... can you please tell me if you fixed it and how? But please bare with me, I am a total beginner. I don't have a factory cable, can I fix it without it? If I order one, i need to wait approx. 40 days to get it.
Thank you

Stuck at white logo on FTV2

For some reason my FTV2 stopped booting. The bootloader works and I can get to TWRP, but some reason it won't boot normally. I've already tried factory reset and re-installing 5.0.5 rooted image, but never gets past the white logo. What else should I try?

Fallow procedure in below post using the unbrick+ramdisk.img option:

Thanks, I will give it a try. I thought this was only required if you didn't already have recovery working.

Non rooted FTV2 updated to 5.2.4 after successful reboot and shutdown won't boot

I have an unmodified AFTV2 that I had on 5.2.1 and was blocking updates via OpenDNS. I decided to update to 5.2.4 (FML) and it went through the process and the FTV2 rebooted and I got the new interface.
I then put my unit to sleep like I always do, and unplugged the power.
A few hours later I tried to reboot and got stuck on the white amazon logo. Tried unplugging and replugging it in, and same issue.
Decided to try and factory reset it so I held the right button and back button for a while and was shown the reset to factory defaults screen and it started resetting.
It resets, and lo and behold its stuck on the white amazon logo again.
WTF is going on?!

Boot loop problem-

I received this Kindle HD 8.9 from a friend. I'm not sure what they did, but it says this when I try to boot:
Kindle Fire System Recovery
Your Kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot. Resetting your device to Factory defaults may help you to fix this issue.
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
Reboot your Kindle
Reset to Factory Defaults
I tried both and it still comes up.
I see this problem on the forum before, but it was a few years ago.
Help would be much appreciatedno
Thank you.

Fire TV Box Gen 1 (Bueller) Rebooting Isssue

Hi All,
I am having issues with my FireTV Box Gen 1 (Bueller). The issue is when i turn off the TV and the box basically after 30 minutes or so, reboots and goes to recovery and get stuck there. I have to reset it by pulling power to bring it to the OS. When rebooted, it will work fine, but when i turn off the TV, it does same thing.
FireTV Gen 1 is Rooted and using rbox’s latest and last update. Bootloader is fully unlocked and TWRP is installed.
I have formatted and installed the OS and same issue.
Is there a way to fix this? if yes, please advise
If no to above, can i revert back to Stock Recovery? if yes, how?
I tried searching form, i can only find unroot option if you have clockwork recovery

If you mean the bootmenu cold-boots into twrp instead fireOS, try wiping cache...
i figured it out. there was an update pending latest update. somehow rbox modded firmware downloaded that and it was scheduling to install. i cleared the cache and disabled ota and took care of it.
