Cant Get into fastboot mode - Kindle Fire General

i am now in 6.2.1 rooted by Jcase's method.
i can enter the adb correctly but when i type "adb remount"
it resulted back "operation not permitted"
the more important part is that:
when i type in "idme bootmode 0x4002" in the adb shell
it said "<idme>invalid permission"
i have put superuser.apk and su in the correct places.
is there any solution for my situation?
i want to get into fastboot mode becoz i want to try the oc kernel

I have the same problem. is there a solution?
Edit: i found a solution: type su after adb shell, then continue with idme bootmode 4002
after that i was able to install TWRP

Yea you need to su in to be able to do whatever you want.

[Q] Stuck at triangle screen

Got the triangle screen and following instructions in guides are not fixing it. Heres my scenario. I got my kindle with 6.2 on it. Got it rooted, installed market and go launcher and was great. Then the update of course came thru and broke root. Still been able to download market apps and use go launcher. So I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417284
to regain root and install twrp. It says root is successful, but superuser force closes everytime trying to open or use it. I can open my tibu and root explorer and everything still gave me root access. Went and changed the MarketIntentProxy.apk to MarketIntentProxy.apk.bak so market links go to market by default. That worked. Noticed that all amazon apps downloaded have a default amazon icon. Thought nothing of it. Went to install twrp anyway. Stuck at triangle now. Followed all instructions to fix and the KFU keeps flashing error device not found constantly and boot status unknown. Not showing up in my devices but I can eject via the safely remove hardware program. What happened? Did everything as guide states and watched the videos as I was doing each step.
you have to update the drivers by right click in device manager (some have to this up to 4 times)
to change the bootmode you can use kfu or do it manually:
with adb:
adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4000"
adb reboot
with fastboot:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
or
fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot
this is also sometimes helpful:
power down kf by longpress the powerbutton then replug it without powering on before - will do it by itself
then i would suggest to reroot with kfu but take care - if you allready have burritoroot on your device you have to delete it before retrying

I can't update driver any longer because it doesn't show in my devices. I will try the adb method since I can't install fastboot.

No that did not work either. I have let my tech geek who has a linux based system try to unbrick it. Hopefully he can get his system to talk to the kindle since my windows cant. Thanks for trying to help.

Rooted 6.2.2?? TWRP help

Kindle looks and acts rooted but i can't install TWRP with KFU.
When it ask the kindle to reboot in fastboot the kindle stays idel in usb mode.
EDIt got it rooted by installing android phone drivers then i rolled them back now it reads as a usb composite device or something, doesn't say kindle with the flag like it did at first.
What commands did you use?
what commands??? i used 5 on KFU it did its thing so far then it said waiting for device after it told the kindle to reboot in fastboot.
I just got this today with stock 6.2.2 and got it rooted finally but i want recovery and other roms >.> THe kindle just doesn't reboot when its told by KFU during TWRP installation.
I think KFU isn't working for 6.2.2 at the moment.
Are you comfortable with running commands from the command prompt? If yes, do you have ADB running properly?
if i have a set of instructions I can use the command line. but not intuitivelly, i got this thing rooted even after installing the drivers gfailed so i did pretty good so far
,
Disregard this post. See my next post.
I has to be root first right, cause i was mistaken and it didn't take. when i run the command line to enable root it gets this message
adbd cannot run as root is in production build.
i even tried the instruction on this link by they are very vague for 6.2.2 and it doesn't tell you were to place files which i assume got to C;\kindleADBhttp://rootzwiki.com/topic/13027-universal-all-firmware-one-click-root-including-262/
Disregard my last post. Do the following.
Download BurritoRoot2.bin from this thread and TWRP from here. Place BurritoRoot2.bin and the TWRP image in the same folder as adb.exe and fastboot.exe (you can use the ones from KFU).
Now run the following...
Code:
adb push BurritoRoot2.bin /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot2.bin
adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot2.bin
adb root
adb shell idme bootmode 4002
adb reboot
You were given root access for the adb shell with BurritoRoot2 and that allowed you to change the bootmode. The last command will rebooted the KF into fastboot mode.
When you see a solid "Kindle Fire" logo, you can continue with the following commands...
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
The device will reboot and install FFF and TWRP.
I.will be attempting this a lil bit later today have Tiber optics installed and they are due any min.
Thankyou for your help.
Do you guys know why when I command Adb root it tells me its in.production build? This confused me.last night and I am expecting to ru. Into it mater when I attempt to do this root and twrp fix
It's because it isn't rooted. I don't think KFU has implemented BurritoRoot2 yet.
I tried downloading the 6.2.2 update and manually update but when it reboots TWRP 2 says Can't mount /mnt/sdcard/kindleupdates/update-kindle-6.2.2_D01E_3205220.bin
then TWRP gets stuck in a loop only loading into TWRP until I do "idme bootmode 4000"
Anyway, since it seems pretty safe at this point to update to 6.2.2 I want to get it over with now, but am having trouble, is the problem TWRP 2.0?
if you use the original amazon update you will loose fff, twrp and root

Killed my kindle fire on recovery install

Hi Guys! I need your Help!
My Kindle fire is stuck on the booting logo, it looks a bit sharper and brighter than usual.
I was running a perfect running stock 6.2.2 firmware with root access.
Those are the steps i did:
went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410223 and did:
Code:
To install the CWR recovery by DoomLord after gaining root:
Download it, and push it to your Kindle
adb push <filename> /data/local/recovery.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery
Reboot normaly with no boot manager, so:
Did the first part of the thread BurritoRoot3 and tried to perform the "To install the CWR recovery by DoomLord after gaining root:" procedure.
Again it did boot normal.
Went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414832 and did:
Code:
adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fbmode
adb reboot
it went good, i did reboot the device and now its stuck with kindle fire logo and no adb connection
Any advice please Next i will try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
Hopefully someone can assist.
I was at the same place, stock rom, 6.2.2 with root access via burritoroot2. To add TWRP I used KFU edited to support burritoroot2.
Haha puh, i think i fixed it.
this thread help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407254&page=2
You have to look at the kindle fire logo. when its static. you are in fastboot mode.
to boot normal you can just do:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
This should work with 4002 as parameter to re enable fastboot mode.
Soo. question solved
But has anybody an idea how to get to CMW installed in fastboot mode?
//ps. i added vendor id (0x18d1) to adb_usb.ini on windows 7
it is described at the op of cwm under [how to test]:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454241
Did that process b63 link mentions last night without issue on a KF that has TWRP.

Stuck in never ending boot between Triangle and TWRP

Not quite sure what i did 0_o. I used the kindle fire utility to install permanent root. It rebooted and allwas well. Then i used the program to tell it to boot into fastboot mode. when I did this now it just loops between the Triangle and TWRP. Im guessing not screwed...i just dont know what to do next to fix it lol. I tried the brick fixer program. it just reboots the kindle fire and then it does the same thing over and over.
Try hooting into TWRP and telling it to reboot in normal mode.. using KFU of course lol.
I'm in the same boat...however, I figured out how to get it to stop and stay at the Triangle (fastboot mode)
I typed "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" into the Command Prompt Window on my computer. It then said <waiting for device>
I forced the Kindle off with the 20-sec press, then unplugged and re-plugged it into the computer.
Now I just have to figure out how to get the fastboot mode to give me access to the USB, or to get ADB working on this sucker. I'm trying to get a ROM over to the Kindle's internal memory so I can save it's life!
Hopefully this will give you a launching place, too. Oh, and using the Kindle Fire Utility will then work as long as it's in the triangle screen, but every step I've used with it so far just puts me back into the FireFireFire / TWRP loop.
Hey guys thanks for the response. shortly after I posted this I went into the kindlefire irc channel and they helped me out. somehow the stock rom i was on corrupted itself and even when i did
adb shell
su
idme bootmode 4000
reboot
It still wasnt fixed. So the solution was to flash that modaco rom thats here and then run the adb command again. Viola. Working Kindle Fire . Now if i can just figure out how to make the stupid wallpapers stop auto cycling lol.

would try to boot to twrp, tap the mount button and mount sdcard
now you should be able to copy a rom to sdcard and install it
to force it to boot to recovery issue: "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001" and "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot"
if it says <waiting for device> just cold restart the kf - the command should be picked up and finished
don't forget to switch back to normal boot after installation: "adb shell idme bootmode 4000" and "adb reboot"
maybe this could also help you:
driver (under android phone):
normal & recovery boot: -> android composite adb interface
fastboot: -> android adb interface
here all the possible commands to change bootmode:
with adb (secure kernel):
adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4000"
adb reboot
or (twrp or unsecure kernel):
adb shell idme bootmode 4000
adb reboot
with fastboot:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
or:
fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot
or:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot
the number is the bootmode you want to switch to:
normal boot -> 4000
fastboot -> 4002
boot to recovery -> 5001
and if you know:
normal boot -> adb commands YES -> fastboot commands NO
fastboot -> adb commands NO -> fastboot commands YES
recovery -> adb commands YES -> fastboot commands NO
then you only have to count 1 and 1 together and can master nearly each hanging situation !

[Q] Need help, please

So I have been reading the forums for a while and want to say thank you to everyone here. I had to register so I could ask a question about my kindle fire, I've been searching for a few days but cant see to find a answer. A friend of mine rooted it for me and we choose to put cm7 on it, loved it but saw that ICS was ready and decided to go fot it. I neglected to back a back up and wiped cm7 off and now am unable to load any rom on to it I have watched dozens of videos and hundreds of pages but I'm now stuck. I run ubuntu 11.10 on my computer I download a rom plug in the fire drom the rom in the SD card folder clear the the approiate things and trey to flash it. when I reboot it brings me right back to TWRP. I'm about ready to use it a a frisbe. Am I missing something?

Sounds like you're still in Fastboot mode.
Try these ADB commands:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
or
adb shell idme bootmode 4000
adb shell reboot
Thanks
Sorry it took me so long to respond but I had a login problem. From what I have read ADB doest go al that well using ubuntu, that and I'm not really all that good using command line and terminal. Any other ideas?
So my friend tried setting it up remotely last night but it didn't go well, anything I can't do from inside TWRP to make it work?

hey
hey man, in twrp, trying doing mount, then on your computer, put on a stock rom to the drive, then in twrp, run the stock rom
I'm pretty sure that is what I have been doing but I will try again
Ok, tried again and no luck, I have tried cm7 cm9 and a few others with the same result.
semms like the kf is in bootmode 5001 (recovery)

Now should I be able to put on a different rom from Ubuntu computer without that happening again?

Way over my head, plus im not able to do the adb from my computer I have to have my friend do it from his windows machine.
just flashed a gapps for a different rom but still not letting me sign in to google. Driving me nuts.
everything is also running on linux (ubuntu) or on a mac
there is a linux/mac version of kfu:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21369040&postcount=653
update the run.sh with this one (original has a bug):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23159077&postcount=2
you can use the commands in the tools forder also but you have to adapt them
eg: "adb.linux devices" or "./adb.mac devices" (not shure about ./ at linux - just try)
and don't forget to run "install_drivers.sh" from a terminal
