cm10 logo stuck, boot status unknown, ect

ok first here is my problem
I have a Kindle fire that is stuck at the boot logo for cm10 from what ive found out due to not clearing the cache prior to rebooting
also with KFU running and the KF hooked up it reads adb status online and boot status unknown. when hooked up through the regular usb cable it goes through to the cm10 boot logo and is recognized by the computer and kfu
when hooked up trhough the factory cable its neither recognized by my computer or KFU and only stays at the kidlefire orange and white logo.
NOW how i got here
little sister got the KF and of course wanted more out of it. rooted and installed twrp and proceeded to flash roms through twrp SHE DIDNT INSTALL FFF. she said she got it stuck first on the AOSP? boot logo also what we later found out from not clearing the cache. then was able to get in through KFU to reboot back up to recovery and flash back to factory setting but still with twrp installed. well then went on to flash cm10 again without clearing the cache AFTER flashing the final gapps before rebooting and got it stuck yet again at the boot logo.
so with her being out of town i wanted to fix it for her so i got a factory cable and what not but wanted to try first through kfu so i hook it up and its recognized and what not well when i go to push 1 for bootmodes i accidently hit 4 i think and starting installing twrp AGAIN while it was STUCK at the cm10 boot logo. and that was the last thing that got me stuck to where the boot status isnt noticed
WHAT IVE TRIED. everything
kfu doesnt find the file for bootmodes now so i tried command prompts and thats saying device offline
so i got a factory cable and that makes it to where the computer AND kfu dont recognize it at all???
i also get with the regualr usb cable MTP USB device FAILED with the litt;le yellow caution triangle under Portable Devices but
shows it under Android Phone as Android Composite ADB interface???
but as stated with the factory cable it IMMEDIATELY says USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED
with regular power it boots and gets stuck at the cm10 logo screen
with factory cable it only goes and stops at the orange and white kindle fire logo
i hope ive provided everything i can and hope someone can help out. thanks guys and its been some great reading on this site

This means your bootloader is not the FireFireFire.

Reinstall Kindle Fire Drivers from the Kindle Fire Utility package. Unzip your download and run the install drivers batch file. Then try to plug the Kindle in again.

Best way to get things working here is to run Kindle fire utility, run the "intall FireFireFire" option, it will say waiting on device, with your kindle off, attach the Factory cable to the kindle and then plug it into the PC. Hopefully this will get the bootloader installed, and while you're at it, go ahead and reinstall TWRP, as it shouldn't cause an issue. After you get the bootloader and TWRP installed, you can wipe caches and see if that helps.

hey thanks mthous
Ya i told her if she would have installed the FFF that alot of this would be a whole bunch easier.
As for installing the drivers ive done that and it IS being noticed by the computer as i stated with the reg. usb cable, In KFU its read as ADB Status ONLINE but bootmode status UNKNOWN. so its being recognized just i think since the Kindle is stuck in whatever bootmode that its not being read.
ONLY WHEN i plug it in with the Factory cable is it completely invisible to the computer and unrecognized IMMEDIATLEY after attached to the KF.
But im going to try that last piece of advice but i had tried something similar with going to the KFU and choosing option 1 then choosing i believe option 2 for recovery mode then hit enter and it said "waiting for device" BUT as usual it didnt even read that the device was connected with the Factory Cable. IS there a special different kind of driver for the FACTORY cable that i dont know about? MAYBE its not made right???? i bought it from a reputable ebay dealer. and it DOES alter the state of the KF by keeping it at the KF logo instead of going on through to the CM10 boopt logo.
i dont know.
ANYONE reading this with some idea please chime in cause its gotten to the point where i just turn the KF on to see it light up and watch the cm10 boot animation thinking of the day that i will one day be able to use it :crying::crying:

so im just going to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
seems my problem is the drivers and what not so hey why not right. SUCKS i had to search so many places to even know FULLY what pokey (the op) was talking about.
such as making a bootable usb. finding the diagram on how to short out the kindle and things of that but i fully feel confident that this will fix it. also ive included my links incase anyone else is having this problem and isnt as good at searching.

ill let you know what happens CROSS YOUR FINGERS this is the last step before i pay someone to fix it.... ANYONE in TX!!!!

What was your outcome? I'm having the same exact issue, and I'm pulling my hair out!

i have one other option you might wanna try.
using fastboot cable, get to the kindle logo and plug it in to your computer.
delete your .android folder located at c:\users\%your user%\.android
open kfu and it should say offline
run the option to install FFF that might do it.
let me know what happens

now you cant get into recovery right?

I can't get anywhere, or flash anything. It just boots up, and goes to the off center CM logo.

Might be a stupid question to ask - but it seems like you already have firefirefire due to previous flashing and etc, have you tried pushing the power button repeatedly during the boot to change the bootmode?
This can be an easy way to get into recovery and do a complete wipe then reflash. I had an issue similar to this and it was because I forgot to do my wipes because I was focused on getting my device recognized by KFU.

sorry been lazy and i gotta search where all the links were now... but def going to do this today sometime.....oh ya links are in my post lol ok well i WILL get back to see if this "drastic way" works is it wierd that it doesnt seem that complicated to do it this way??? i feel like im missing something like it should be alot harder. idk ill find out and get back.

Kindle only shows red screen

Ok im posting in hopes to help someone else and myself.
DEVICE: 1st Gen Kindle Fire (D01400)
PROBLEM: Kindle quickly flashes stock logo then displays red screen.
I created this problem by using the wrong root tool (Qemuroot) [This tool is made for a Kindle Fire HD]
I bought a fastboot cable i hopes to use KFU/KUU to unbrick the device.
However Windows 8 only shows the device driver listed as Otter2-Prod-04 (Unknown Device) I proceeded to install the ADB drivers, even manualy assigned the device driver, and disabled driving signing and reinstalled drivers. (Drivers appear to install correctly however won't show up in connected adb devices.)
At this point im going to use SoupKit. I will post the outcome.
If you have had a similar problem or know of a fix which I have yet to research please let me know.
Thanks

Tested with Ubuntu linux using soupkit & firekit.
Both resulted in <Waiting for Android device> same in windows as well.
So I tried another computer also running windows 8, installed fresh SDK/Java/Drivers.
Once again had to force the driver to replace the unknown device "Otter2-Prod-04" now the device says its working in device manager yet nothing in ADB or fastboot.
I will add when I plug the device in using the fastboot cable it shows a red fastboot text and a stoplight green is flashing.
At this point im stuck and have reached the end of google. Yup thats right the very last page.

More hours put into this. I can issue fastboot commands. So this now turns into a question.
Is it possible to restore my kindle using fastboot?

You should be able to if you can push fff and recovery over and flash them via fastboot
Should enable you to have recovery back and work from there

[Q] Kindle 8.9" stuck in Kindle Fire System Recovery

Hi,
I had my kindle rooted and a few weeks back the OS got updated automatically to a new version and my Home screen went black and I was unable to change the wallpaper. So I ran Stunts Wallpaper Fix but something must have gone wrong and I am now stuck in the:
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.
The choices I have are:
Reboot your kindle
Reset to Factory Defaults
Choosing any of the two options eventually leads back to the above. So I purchased the fastboot cable but that apparently does not help either, as soon as I plug it into the kindle it will go back to the Kindle Fire System Recovery screen. I have ADB installed on my PC, however when starting the Kindle, my PC only recognizes the driver for about 2 seconds and displays it as "Jem-PVT-Prod-04" in the Device Drivers then that disappears as well.
I read many, many threads on this forum but don't seem to find anyone with this particular problem. Help very much appreciated.

Where did you get your factory cable?

I got it from the "EARLYBIRD SAVINGS 3ft USB to Micro USB Factory Cable for Amazon Kindle Fire Motorola Xoom/Phones" from Amazon.

And before plugging it in, did you make sure your device was completely powered down (held the power button for 10-15 seconds)?

Yes, absolutely. Tried it several times always returning to the System Recovery Screen.

You may have a bad factory cable, or the "factory cable" you have is not a factory programming cable.

If you can install the driver in my signature on the jem device before it disappears, then you should be able to use the fastboot command like this and not have to use a factory cable:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Run that command and after it says waiting for device, plug your kindle in while powered off, it should go into fastboot.

I followed your instructions and it seems to be working.
I am now receiving after rebooting the Kindle a dark screen saying "fastboot mode" in yellow.
In order to not screw things up again, what would be the best way forward?

I would suggest using kindle fire first aide and reflashing the stock system partition.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app

I followed the steps mentioned for the Kindle First Aide and did a complete restore. My Kindle is now up and running!
Thank you sir for your excellent advice!

On another note if you try my wallpaper fix again, if it has some kinda error and bricks again, could u report the error to me? I always try to make it as safe as possible, and would like to know why my safeties didn't help in your case. Who knows, it might actually work this time since your os is closer to stock than before possibly.

My kindle is stuck in the exact same loop. What do you mean by 'install the driver...on the jem device'? ...I'm pretty green

Basically it means open the device manager on your PC, and plug you kindle in while its off, if it is indeed an 8.9" model, after it powers on you should see a device pop up briefly in the device manager called jem something, if it instead makes the noise like something connected an you don't see a jem device popup, then you probably have the drivers installed already. If you see the device pop up then quickly right click it and hit update drivers and point it to where you extracted my drivers and let them install. After that you should be able to use the fastboot command I mentioned to get I to fastboot mode.

Thank you so much Stunts!!! I'm now trying to do your programming, and I'm having a bit of a problem. The dos is telling me 'Could Not Find ...system32\framework-res.apk.orig doing prelim check...' followed by 'Your system partition is too low...' what am I doing wrong?

OK well the cannot find time isn't an error, its just extra output that I haven't disabled, that file it can't find is basically the cleanup process running to delete any files from a previous attempt, and if they aren't there you see that error. As for the disk space error, you should check your system partition to see how much space it has left on it, you will need around 40mb to use the wallpaper fix. You can attempt to disable the check if you are sure you have enough space, but if it doesn't have enough space you will end up with a softbrick'd device stuck in a boot loop until it has its system partition reflashed. Try either over adb shell or in a mobile terminal running "df /system" and tell me how much space it has free.

Ok, recap...system is still rooted. I did a full system reboot, and the only other os that I had was go launcher. To try and get the script to run, I deleted Go launcher, along with widget picker, and live wallpaper. I tried to run "df/system" through COMMAND under administrator, and I tried the same command on my kindle through a terminal emulator and it said "not recognized" on pc, and "not found" on kindle. I'm sorry if this is annoying, and I appreciate the help.

n/m, just found the df. on system it says 37M. What can I do for the other 3M?

Ok...I realized I was asking stupid questions that I should resolve myself. For nOObs (like me) I went to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619153 to get help with the adb shell. In doing so I was able to find my available space. I typed the command "df" and it showed all my available and used storage. I then went in to X-plore (root file management app) where I was able to change my user status to SU and go in to the systems folder and remove apps that were invaluable. Thanks for all the help stunts, if it wasn't weird I would send you some Christmas cookies lol.

[Q] Help Unbricking

I've read the basic guide for the Kindle and I've recently obtained a factory cable for my Kindle Fire I (not II). The factory seems to be working and it gets the kindle in to fast boot. I have installed the drivers and I have ADB running but no device is detected. I'm honestly completely lost and would appreciate any help. Thanks!

If your factory cable is working then the KFU will work even if the device isn't detected. It did for me, and adb didn't find the device. Try typing "fastboot devices" instead of adb devices.

For me it does not. I'll pub it in and the Kindle Fire logo pops up for fastboot. Then I launch KFU and my computer detects a device too.
However when I try to do anything it will give me "<waiting for device". What exactly do you mean by type in fastboot devices.

Look up a tutorial for setting up adb and fastboot on your computer and you'll see what I mean

Have same problem described. KF 1, fastboot cable. Tried following threads on xda for unbricking but none of the instructions are presented in a way that covers every step required, Some download links are dead. Assumes prior knowledge of steps, sofftware used.
My goal is to unbrick and restore instead of throwing this thing out. Amazon will not support Kindle Fire 1 and threw me a discount offer on a new HD (after I had already bought one). Can somone help pick up where the previous post left off (assume he gave up)?

[Q] Kindle Fire 1st Gen Stuck in Fastboot and is not Recognized by the Computer

The kindle is stuck in fastboot mode and will launch immediately into fastboot once the power button is pressed. Also the device does not show up in device manager when connected to a computer.

So you flashed OtterX bootloader? What else did you do? Convert to OtterX partitions? OtterX twrp?

Okay im new to this thread and am (sort of a noob dev). I have the same issue what i did was.
1. download saferoot(installed that worked perfect.
2.went into adb following your guide for twrp and fff while in adb. instead of a (-i) i thought it said (-1) so i put that after 0x1949 i think anyway.
3. noticed what i did then changed it waited a little bit and it just kept saying waiting for device. Then i closed adb and shut it off. rebooted it and opened adb nothing.
It isn't being recognized by windows and it is making the usb connection error sound when plugged in. all that adb says is no device connected. however in my windows devices menu it says other device\kindle? as in a malfunctioned device. i need to try and fix this and i wanted cm11. but if i need to go back to stock i will. Thanks.

Did you ever get this resolved? I am currently stuck in the fastboot mode, although it doesn't say fastboot on my screen, just the non-animated "kindle fire" boot screen. I have been browsing for a while now and no solution, so hopefully if you found a fix then it is related!
I got rooted, ran some fbmode thing to get to fastboot to install a custom recovery and now I'm stuck here without being able to actually access fastboot. Shows up as "other devices/kindle" with a yellow triangle. Both "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" returns no results. I am now on Ubuntu hoping that the drivers would be as automagic as every other Android device, but still no fastboot/adb devices results.
I'll probably post a new thread by the way, but really hoped you had found a way past this already!

Actually I followed the guide at Cyanogenmod, but was unable to fastboot so I followed their instructions to manually fastboot and after successfully entering fastboot from running their "./fbmode" script and rebooting, I'm now stuck without being able to contact the device. Nothing shows up under "fastboot devices." I guess I tried on Ubuntu and Windows 8, not Windows 7. I will try installing the Kindle drivers under Windows 7 when I get home later this evening.
