I was trying to install a rom on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and I am now stuck on a red screen. The kindle will start up and show the boot logo for about two seconds before a red screen appears on the tablet. My device manage flashes as if it was updating the devices on my computer. My PC does not recognize my Kindle. Any help would be appreciated.
Unless you can manage to get it into fastboot somehow, there's nothing you can do
If you do a search on here for KFFirstAide, you will find loads of information on installing drivers, restoring OS and various other helpful tips.
Hope this helps

Yes, I rooted my Kindle before causing this problem. I do have the drivers working. I apparently need to boot into fastboot. I cannot do this with a fastboot cable as they don't work on my device. I can't do this with a PC as my Kindle won't be able to connect to it. I'm at a standstill at the moment. I hope I will be able to fix my device at one point in time. If these are my only options I suppose I will sit on my thumbs until I am able to fix my Kindle.

Working adb drivers doesnt mean you have working fastboot drivers (I had the same problem before) Had to uninstall the drivers then dissable driver signiture form windows and install the unsinged drivers from the kindle first aid.
After you get fastboot working then you can install my rom if you want! Should fix fastboot and install TWRP, after that you can install any rom you want! Hope you can get it going!
Here is the link
Thank you Lizzord30. After messing around in Kindle first aid I got it working again.

16) Reboot the kindle fire into fastboot mode (alternative method).
I used kindle fire first aid. Once in fastboot I restored it.

To get your device into fastboot mode, turn off your device. On your pc go to any directory where you have access to fastboot.exe and press shift+right click anywhere, Click "open command window here"
copy and paste this code
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
you'll get "Waiting for device"
Just plugin your device using normal cable, Your device wil power up and get into fastboot
Now all you need to do is use a restore tool like Kindle Fire first aide to flash a fresh rooted image to your device.
I am total noob. Just want to make that clear from the get go.
I hesitate to start a new thread, but I have been working on this forever, and have not made any progress.
I have a Kindle Fire that I would like to run android on - I started the process with the Kindle Fire Utility v 0.9.9. Something went wrong, and it is now stuck on the Kindle Fire start up logo. I also can no longer see it in the device manager, nor is it responsive to anything in the Utility. (ADB status: Offline Boot Status: Unknown). I am at a loss, does anyone have any ideas? Your help is appreciated!
.................FIGURED IT OUT!..............................
Much thanks to the pooch who spent hours helping me troubleshoot.
What we (he) did, as far as I remember, hopefully this can be of some service to someone else out there.
1) Figured out that trying all of this on a Virtual Machine is not a good idea!
2) I somehow broke the bootloader in my first attempt, so none of my computers were recognizing the KF.
3) Created a Pendrive to run Linux (ubuntu). Here Requires a USB drive formatted Fat16/Fat32/NTFS, minimum of 2 gb.
4) Once I got Linux running, installed SoupKit.
5) Went through a few tries of booting, rebooting, into recovery mode until the Kindle flickered back to life!
6) Followed prompts on SoupKit to install TWRP, updated TWRP, install FireFireFire, install Android 4.2.
Good luck, I am happy to answer any questions - though I am no means an expert now.
What I have tried...more info
More Information:
I am running Windows7 in a VirtualBox on an iMac.
I bricked the Kindle a few weeks ago, after messing with it then, I bought a factory fastboot cable. Still no dice.
I have tried all turning on and off computer, on and off Kindle with it disconnected, connected, going through the KFU 4 seconds after starting the Kindle. Letting the Kindle's battery die, recharging.
I have deleted .android folder, reinstalled drivers, re-downloaded KFU.
I have tried on a different computer (Windows XP) The Kindle is also not recognized there.
I have tried booting into Ubuntu (however in the directions there, it said the FireKit is for more "serious" issues than my soft brick.
I am sure there is some small detail I am missing, but I have not been able to find it - and I am not knowledgeable enough to properly diagnose the problem. Again thanks for any help.

Sometimes KFU will show as Unknown even though it's really fine. I had the same issue as you. Try switching boot mode to Normal and see if that fixes it, it worked for me.

I tried that. When I type "fastboot getvar product" it says waiting for device or something similiar.

When using the stock bootloader (plain "kindle fire" boot logo), the fastboot command must always specify the custom vendor ID used by the Kindle Fire. For example, the commands above must be slightly altered to...
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
fastboot -i 0x1949 devices
and likewise, all of the following commands will need the "-i 0x1949" switch when using the stock bootloader. The FFF bootloader's vendor ID has been changed to one that is normally recognized by fastboot, so the "-i 0x1949" switch can be omitted.
Now onto some more useful fastboot commands...
Code:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4002
fastboot oem idme bootmode 5001
Using one of these commands will change the bootmode to normal (4000), fastboot (4002) or recovery (5001). Then issuing...
Code:
fastboot reboot
will reboot the device into the respective bootmode.
I've tried that as well...
Just so I am totally clear, this is what I did in relation to those instructions:
Opened Command Prompt - set the directory to C:/kfu/tools
Typed "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" (with out the quotations, obviously)
<waiting for devices>
I plugged Kindle in, it powers on and the frozen logo pops up.
I also tried "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000" and "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4002"
According to the guide it often takes multiple tries, I have done it over and over again.
I have also tried different orders of code, plugging in Kindle, and powering on and off.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a specific code for my Kindle? (Not -i 0x1949)
Thanks!

By reinstall drivers do you mean clicking on "install_drivers" in the KFU folder? I have tried that.
Is there another method of uninstalling and installing drivers? Sorry if that is a dumb question!
If the devices is in fastboot which I believe it is it would show up as android adb interface, if it was attempting to boot to the system it would show up as android composite adb interface. If you are on xp or windows 8 this can be a bit of a tricky task. Android adb interface and android composite interface are two facets of the same driver. So yes I suggest rerunning the driver installation bat that is packaged with KFU. If perhaps you are on windows 8 you must disable driver signature verification and reinstall the driver. 3.0 usb ports have an issue with fastboot and can leave the device undetected.
Still not working

Thanks for the quick reply.
So I am on a Win7 and/or a Windows XP. Currently on both systems, when I plug it into the computer, with the Device Manager open, nothing happens other than the Kindle turning itself on.
Before it froze up, I saw it in device manager as Android ADB interface, and before doing anything at all, saw it as the default Kindle Fire.
On the Win7 system, I have rerun the driver installation bat over and over and over again, with absolutely no results.
On the WinXP, I have tried it, and for the life of me can't get it to install (it says install failed (Unsigned)). I never connected the Kindle up to this computer before it froze up, so I wonder if that is somehow causing the problem (it is trying to update drivers that don't exist?)
Am I doing something wrong with this? Can I uninstall or delete drivers, and totally start over?
If you are using a WinXP you must install driver manually.

okay well then you`re running xp use another computer getting the driver installed is hard even for the very skilled particularlly when the device is stuck in fastboot. Friend or relatives computer running windows 7 would be perfect. Otherwise it`s linux on a live usb booted on your xp machine.

Yeah so I have a Windows7. I have reinstalled the drivers (by clicking on the install_drivers.bat file in the KFU) over and over again, and I still do not get any recognition on the computer, or in the Device Manager when I plug in the Kindle.
Try different usb port, make sure they are usb 2.0. Is the logo static or animated? It possible that you broke the bootloader. At some point I would be willing to look at some things for you via teamviewer. If it is not driver related I fear your next move is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038. Keep it on charger or off till it can be dealt with.

Thanks! I would be willing to give it a shot (teamview I mean) if you are willing.
I tried the Firekit before I began this thread, but I kept getting stuck trying to run the tool after booting into ubuntu. Perhaps that is a different thread topic, but I am more than willing to put more work into figuring that out, if it could be the key to unlocking this stupid thing.
I am having this exact same problem. Using Win XP i was able to get the ADB drivers loaded initially and used KFU to try to install TWRP. When it rebooted during that process it got stuck at the Kindle Fire logo. Since then I cannot get my computer to recognize the kindle. Like you, I feel like i've tried everything.

Hey all, I have a kindle fire 2 that I have been trying to restore and reset using kindle first aide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
I purchased a factory cable from skorp and when I plug my KF2 in with it, it simply says "kindle fire" on the screen. It is listed in device manager as Android Phone, and it says the Android ADB Interface is working properly. Yet when i type "abd devices" in cmd prompt nothing shows up, and when I try to use the first aide tool it says its waiting for a device.
Does anyone have any ideas on what may be wrong with it?

Yes they are, I tried the cable on my mom's kindle as well and the screen said kindle fire fastboot on hers. Device manager recognizes hers the same way it recognizes mine though.
If it was in fastboot mode then "adb devices" wouldn't show anything. When in fastboot mode, use fastboot commands, try this out:

Hey everyone
I think I've just bricked brand new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 :/
So, I'm new in rooting and I tried to install custom rom Cyanogen Mod 10.1 following the instructions from there: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fi...-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet/ .
After rooting Kindle, installing 2nd bootloader and TWRP my Kindle rebooted. It showed up Kindle Fire logo, first yellow then blue one. But after that nothing happened, it stucked at booting. So I entered to recovery mode by holding down volume up button and because of my stupidity I thought backing up system and restoring it will get me able to enter to original Amazon's system. After restoring system and rebooting worse thing happened. Logo while booting didn't turn from yellow to blue, it just stucked in yellow logo like it freezed. Now I can't enter anywhere in my Kindle, even in recovery mode and after plugging Kindle to PC through USB cable PC doesn't see Kindle. I think maybe using fastboot cable will help but I'm not sure about that, so I'm asking You: Is there anything I can do to restore my Kindle? And the fastboot cable will work with this software: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126?

(if you're bricked, you need fastbootcable?). that what i was told anyways
OK good news, you don't need a fastboot cable, in fact they don't even work on 8.9" models. The only problem is if you never have put the device in fastboot before while plugged into windows you are going to have a fun time trying to install the drivers... More or less plug the device is while it is off and have the device manager open already, you should see a jem device with a yellow triangle pop up for a moment, this is what you have to do, download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere. Now when that device pops up briefly, right click it, hit update drivers, and point it to where you extracted my drivers. If you can successfully complete this step the rest is easy, you just need to download a utility, like the one you asked if it would fix it(the answer is yes BTW). Extract the utility from its' zip file, hold shift and right click the folder that was extracted and hit "open command window here". Now with the device turned off and unplugged type this
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Press enter, once it says waiting for device then plug the kindle in while its off, it should go into fastboot. Once in fastboot you can use the SRT utility to fix it or kffa if you prefer.
Post above mine also makes skipping the entire try-to-install-driver-while-disappearing problem go away, instead you would reboot into windows after it goes into fastboot, still install the driver, and just run SRT.

Here is a tutorial that will show you how to install a 2nd bootloader and TWRP recovery.
2nd bootloader/TWRP install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175
Then choose a ROM made for the 8.9 Kindle Fire HD only and flash it.
If you wish to go stock then flashing the appropriate images in fastboot will be your plan. This requires setting up some SDK tools in your environment.

KFFA is another option as well.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Bricked
Can someone please provide me with some information. I tried to update the recovery for my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 running on cm10.2 using flashify which I found out now was a very lazy and dumb thing to do. Now my device is bricked its stuck at the white and orange kindle logo, my computer only recognize it for a split second and I can't boot into recovery.
My question to the experience members is if my device is done for or can the factory cable restore it? I tried creating one but it didn't get my device into fastboot mode and I also heard that it isn't compatible with the 8.9 series, I would like to know how true this is.
Thanks a lot.
You don't use a fastboot cable with a 8.9. It should when plugged in while off show up for a brief moment as a jem device. In this brief moment you must have the device manager open and right click the jem device hit update drivers and point it to where you would have downloaded and extracted the drivers in my signature. Once you manage to get the drivers installed shut off the kindle and open a command prompt that's CD'd into the directory of the fastboot command and run
Code:
fastboot -I 0x1949 getvar product
it should say waiting for device, at this point plug the kindle in with a normal cable and it should go into fastboot. I recommend a ubuntu live CD for this procedure because you don't have to deal with the driver issue, instead you just have to install the fastboot binary from the repo but it is fairly easy.

Your in a bootloop. Just use the factory restore tool for the 8.9 and your USB cord.
I'm thinkin your kernel is messed up, probably just needs reflashing, I agree with LinearEquation, you just need to use the system restore tool or kffa and it should reflash that, if you can get into fastboot though you might need to wipe your boot partition. Try the SRT first though.

so, Please help me this case.
Thank you very much !!!
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. Currently TWRP is installed but I can not figure out the get to the recovery. This started after flashing a custom bootloader while I was converting it into an otterx. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I found the solution to my problem. The battery was too low to boot into the recovery so after a full charge the problem was solved

Sorry for the late reply.
It says fastboot mode and when connected to a wall charger it also goes straight to fastboot mode and is stuck.

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.
Same issue

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!
Thanks

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. Thanks.

I flashed the OtterX bootloader and then tried to convert to OtterX partitions. Here something went wrong and now it is stuck in fastboot. The device does not appear in any way in device manager and a live Linux OS does not recognize the device either. Also, when in fastboot it does not seem to run off of the device's own battery, but I can get it to charge the battery if needed by connecting it to wall power.
Thanks for any help
