The unit is fully stock; I've not tried to root it or anything. It began acting up, so I did the first thing the Amazon CSRs would have recommended: A reboot. The tablet is, for some inexplicable reason, stuck at the "Fire" screen phase of the boot process... and yes, there's animation. It's now been 2 hours(!) since I rebooted it, and it's stayed stuck. With a normal phone with a removable battery, I know how to correct this... (Remove the battery, wait 30 seconds, reassemble and restart) but with this, no. Any ideas how to correct?

Most 9th Gen Fire discussions are in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire
You could try forcing it into fastboot mode
Hold Power and volume down button for 5 to 30 secs
I'm not sure what the fastboot screen looks like on the 9th Gen
It may say fastboot, have some device specs, or just a black screen.
Most likely the fastboot mode options have been largely locked up.
You should be able to to boot into recovery from fastboot
Power and volume up button for 5 to 15 secs
Then select factory reset/ wipe data
If that doesn't work return to Amazon if it's still under warranty.
Or
There maybe a bootloader unlock method posted in

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
Alright I'm sure you all love these posts... Well, I've been rooting for a while so I'm not really a novice, pretty embarassing this happened really.. So I'll start by saying my device was successfully rooted a little while ago. I installed one of the cyanogenmod roms at first, but the battery life was terrible so I reverted back to stock. I then decided to play around a little with the systemui to change the battery icon to something that actually displays the battery %. Worked fine for a little while, then it started to reboot everytime I turned the screen off. It started to get annoying, so I decided to revert back to my backup and the problem still continued. Then I decided to wipe everything and install the new rom just released a little while ago and as soon as it started up an app kept forceclosing so it wouldn't work. So I rebooted into TWRP to wipe and reload again but accidently formatted the internal memory. So I did some searching as mounting wouldn't work and used a tool KF2_SRT_10.2.3 to restore the files to start from scratch. I used TWRP to set it to boot fastboot and it installed without issues. Then it was stuck in fastboot, so I used the command fastboot -i0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1 while in command prompt on my computer as I couldn't obviously boot into TWRP to do it there. Then it poped up with the red triangle with the exclamation point saying something about the data is corrupt and I should hold the power button for 4 seconds to reboot or hit it 5 times to factory reset, so I hit the button 5 times to reset. Wasn't really paying attention to it at the time, then it powered down, powered back up and now it's stuck on the splash screen.
TL;DR, flashed stock system.img and recovery using KF2_SRT_10.2.3, kindle booted to error screen saying to reboot device to press power 5 times to restore, pressed power 5 times, kindle stuck on splash screen.
The splash screen blinked like it did before it booted to the screen where you choose to boot either TWRP or the system. Computer doesn't detect it. Any ideas where I can start?
And yes I'm 100% sure this is a Kindle Fire 2, came in black box and last I checked had OS 10.2.3. Hoping this can be fixed, if not I can probably get away with sending it back to amazon. I hope.....
You need a factory cable.
From there you can restore the system from fastboot.

Thank you kindly for your quick responce! I ordered a cable because I don't have my soldering iron with me here at school and I want this fixed as soon as possible. After doing some reading this should fix everything so no further replies are needed. Thanks!
My rooted 1st gen fire started rebooting itself into recovery this evening. It boots normally, but after ~15 seconds, whether I leave it on the lockscreen or am in an app, it goes through the normal Powering Off sequence and boots into TWRP. KFU reports boot status 4000, although it obviously switches to 5001 during the reboot.
No new apps have been installed in a while.
Thoughts?

When it is in recovery, does it reboot into recovery again after 15 seconds? If yes, I suspect a hardware failure. If no, then a reinstall is in order.

It behaves properly in recovery and I can reboot to system. Once up in system, the cycle repeats.
I found this post, and the second part looks like it might be a fix short of reinstalling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26229637&postcount=8
I'll report back once I've had some time to try it.
I flashed the Amazon recovery per the other thread and it resolved the issue. It booted to the Amazon recovery, did some sort of repair, rebooted, and it's back to normal. I just need to re-root and reinstall FFF and TWRP.

Alternatively, you can download the Kindle Fire software update from Amazon, change the suffix to .zip, extract the contents of the zip file, get the recovery.img out of it, flash it in fastboot, and restart. That might fix whatever problem is causing the reboots into recovery. Make sure you have the FFF bootloader installed before you do that so you can flash TWRP back again if that doesn't help.

kindle fire 5th gen, stuck in boot loop unless battery drained.
I am able to boot fine only if the battery becomes drained from the boot loop'ing and then i turn it back on. But after it boots fine into the fire os, if i do a reboot or power off, then power on again, it will go back into a boot loop. And, i can't even turn it off right now, it is jsut in a boot loop.
It seems strange that it still boots, but only in that condition. WHat could be wrong? if i flash a custom rom, would it fix it or what?
thanks

So I updated to Android 11 on Tuesday, and all seemed fine. Last night my phone was trying to install an app, and seemed to freeze.
After a few minutes, I forced it to shut-down (power + vol down) and it started to reboot. It got to the G logo with the small bottom bar animation for a number of minutes and eventually kicked back into Recovery mode.
I decided to try rebooting, and it started to reboot, got to the Google logo (the full word, not the "G"), and then kicked back into rebooting.
The phone now constantly reboots and even if I get into fastboot mode, it only stays in fastboot until I hit a key (vol up/down or power) and it then reboots into constant bootloops described above.
If I don't push a button on fastboot mode, it will just start booting anyways after about 3-5 seconds.
Does anybody know of what I could do? Not sure if replacing the battery would help (e.g. a power issue) or if it may be a corruption of the flash memory and that the system and underlying partitions are corrupt leading to nothing I could do to repair the phone.
I have really enjoyed this phone, but I am afraid that this phone is all-but-dead and unusable.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
B.D.
You can try flashing the stock rom from recovery or from fastboot.
Had something similar on an og Pixel... Turned out to be a broken power switch.
I had a weird issue last week. Phone would freeze after a couple of minutes and would reboot. It would also boot loop while connected for charging (wireless and corded.). The battery would not charge. I would shut down the phone and when I plugged in the charger, it would boot loop. The battery finally discharged to 0% and shut off. I plugged the charger in and it remained off. I let it charge to 100% and it's been working for the past week without issue. I'm not sure what happened.
I would suggest letting the battery drain to 0% and go from there. HTH
I updated my 3XL to Android 11 two days ago and since then I have caught it rebooting at seemingly random times, though only when it is on the wireless charger. I guess it's back to Android 10 for now. Hopefully reverting a Pixel is as easy as it was on the Nexus. Thanks Google.

Are you familiar with how to use commands in platform-tools to flash stock images? How did you upgrade? OTA? Are you rooted? Is it unlocked or Verizon variant? If unlocked, do you know how to unlock the bootloader?

I am proficient in using the bootloader. Phone has been bootloader unlocked since day one.
I upgraded to Android 11 with ota and all was good for a day (rooted with Magisk canary). Then the phone started acting up, first not booting system and then bootlooping.
I can get into the bootloader (fastboot) but only for maximum 3-5 seconds before the phone reboots, or if I hit any button (vol up/down) the phone reboots. Also, if connected to my computer the USB does not recognize fastboot anymore (before it reboots anyways)
I think it's dead, Jim.
Cheers,
