I attempted to install Android on my Fire HD 9.8 following a Youtube video. I followed the steps, but when it came time to reboot into TWRP, it just keeps rebooting. It gets to the KindleFire orange logo, then black screen with a bit of back light, then reboots over and over. I've tried booting into recovery by holding power and up vol, but it just sits at the slightly back lit black screen after that. This is also the only time Windows can access the device via explorer. adb devices shows it, but says unauthorized. I have tried to get into fastboot, but it says waiting for devices and the kindle goes into reboot loop. I have installed the latest windows drivers for the kindle and I am using the newest adb and fastboot. When I hold the power and up vol and it sits at the back lit black screen, I can access it in windows explorer and see everything there so it can't be completely dead. Any help on getting it back up and running would be greatly appreciated.

I Rooted my KF almost a month ago. i used the KFU 9.5 and everything went fine but i didnt get the yellow traingle loader and superuser. so i run the rooting process again. but it got stuck on the second try until the batt run out. so i got stuck on the "kindle fire" loading screen. but i was able to use the Kindle unbrick utility to fix it. and run the root again this time it was a success but still no yellow traingle and superuser. so i side load the superuser. tried installing the TWRP and firefirefire with the KFU but there were errors. and still didnt have the yellow traingle so i cant access the recovery.
but the result was i had a rooted KF. i also run the KFU 9.5 on my brothers KF the process was a success. he got a yellow traingle but no superuser so i side load the superuser. I got tired of the kindle interface and i wanna load cynogenmod 7. but the problem is that all installers need the yellow triangle.
now what i did is that i use the new kfu 9.6 and tried to root my KF again but it was a fail, so i restored it to factory settings then root it again. it was somewhat success but still i dont have the yellow triangle and what i got was a kindle fire but with a BLUE texted "FIRE" it said press the power button for boot menu.
my choices are:
normal boot
recovery
reset boot mode
tried the "recovery" but all i got was a 4 sec "kindle fire" loading screen. that resets after the time. now what i have is a rooted KF restored to factory settings, with a BLUE kindle fire logo.
can you help me install cynogenmod 7 on my KF? and i think i messed up my loading/booting can i clean them so i'll have a fast loading KF.
thanks guys.
The blue Kindle Fire logo is the equivalent of the yellow triangle, only better.
Turn off your Kindle (not sleep)
Download TWRP 2.1 and place it in your KFU tools folder
Shift+Right click that same folder and select "Open command window here"
In the prompt, enter:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery exact-name-of-recovery.img
When you see "waiting for device", turn it back on
Then reboot and select recovery from the boot menu.
that work Great im now running gederom! thank you soo much!
Alright so I used KFU to root my kindle to android market then I used TWRP to install CyanogenMod 7. Everything was fine tell I wanted to restore to stock. I downloaded the Kindle Fire 6.3 installed it then my kindle rebooted. After this happened, everytime it comes on dimly lit then goes to the brightest setting then goes back to dim brightness all while remaining on the standard kindle fire load screen. The letter animation stops shortly after it goes back to dim brightness. On my computer it no longer shows up under my computer but in device manager it is called a Amazon kindle under disk drives with 0 mb of space. On KFU I can get it to show up ADB online but status is Unkown. After I try to change boot mode (normal, fastboot, and recovery) or try and install any of it the kindle turns out comes back on for 4 to 6 seconds then shuts off comes back on and freezes. Also before changing boot mode any one I click it says is no longer on the device. I have also tryed KF unbrick with no help ether.
Does anyone know how to fix this pleas and think you.

One of two things has probably happened here. Either you did not use the factory reset to delete the /data partition prior to flashing the stock software or the system software is damaged or missing from the /system partition. If at all possible, you will have to try to put your KF into fastboot mode using adb. Unfortunately, the odds are against you and my guess is any "adb shell" command will fail. Temporary fastboot through the bootloader is also a non-starter because you have the stock bootloader installed. That leaves the factory cable or opening the back cover as your last two options. The details are spelled out here...

I suggest you get the factory cable, reflash TWRP, and try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, wipe the system partition as well, unmount all partitions and try flashing the stock software again.
I been messing around with my Kindle 8.9 and I was able to root it no problem. I installed the 2nd bootloader not problem( i see the blue kindle fire logo). I even flashed the TWRP; however, I can not get TWRP to open up. I keep restarting my device and I immediately press the volume up button and it flashes to the blue logo but it just stays there for a long while and restarts again. If I don't press the volume up button again for it to loop back to what I just explained then the Amazon stock OS eventually loads up. I tried to search for somebody not being able to open up/load up/boot up TWRP/recovery and had no luck so sorry if this is a duplicate.
I followed these instructions:

and tried this one:

but not matter what I can't open up TWRP
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Hi there,
All was going well with my Fire HD 8.9, I rooted it, had the 2nd bootloader installed and was trying to install CM 11 before I got an error message saying that the jem version was the one I needed. I couldn't get my computer to recognise the the Kindle whilst in TWRP, so thought that I'd have to restore from the backup I made (of the stock Kindle OS and settings) to be able to transfer the version of CM that I needed. The backup seemed to work, but it hasn't in fact.
I turn on the Kindle and it gets stuck at the very first image of the logo, with NO animation
I'm unable to get back into TWRP
I can turn the kindle on and off but that's it
I can't use any recovery programs because my PC doesn't recognise the Kindle
I uninstalled and reinstalled the adb drivers, but when I connect the Kindle, my PC plays the 'Device Connected' then 'Device disconnected' sounds in quick succession, making the installation of any drivers fail
It's as though there's a brief second or two when USB works on the Kindle in terms of my PC knowing something is there, but then the USB disconnect noise plays
I only got it a day ago (managed to mess it up very quickly somehow!), so I could always try returning it if needs be, but hopefully that won't be necessary. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
EDIT - I can get the device to come up with fastboot mode and then the computer recognises it as an Adb device, but don't know where to go from there.
I would try to fix it from recovery if possible, it is way easier than having to do the process over again. You do know how to get it back into recovery right? Hold down volume up right after you power it on, just keep holding it even after kindle logo turns blue until you see the twrp logo. If that doesn't work, I would use kindle fire first aid to restore it and start over, but if you can get it into recovery then you can simply push a ROM onto it via adb.

Thanks for the reply. I actually managed to fix it in the end by using the fast boot command and then connecting the Kindle, then using the SR tool to erase user data and cache, before flashing the boot and recovery imgs (just saying in case anyone googles and this comes up and it might help).
I can not get my wife's fire HD 8.9 to boot. When I turn it on the Kindle Fire screen appears for about 5 seconds, then the Kindle Fire goes out, but the screen is still backlit.
This device is completely stock with no modifications. It did this when I turned it on one day, no previous problems.
I tried holding the power button down for up to 2 min. After I hold the button for 10 seconds the backlight goes out and the kindle is completely off. I tried letting the battery go completely dead, then charging it for several hours with no change. I tried running fastboot, but it is stuck at <waiting for device>. My computer does not see it at all. I do hear the chime that something was plugged into the computer immediately followed by the chime that it was disconnected, but nothing shows up in my computer at all.
Is there any hope for this Kindle, or is it bricked for good?
So I assume you're on windows. That beeb you hear is the fastboot mode you need to load drivers really quickly during that beeb. At that point fastboot shoukd work and you can issue a command to get into the factory restore.
I got it working again.
The problem was simple, I did not have any drivers installed on my computer for the kindle (I have never plugged it into this computer before it would not boot). I found the drivers to download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890413
I was then able to get it into fastboot and recover it with instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126
