Right, so I fixed the yellow triangle. Was hard to get it to work but I eventually did.
Pretty much, all I did was have device manager open, and plug in the USB, then I held the power button until it shut off, unplugged the USB, plugged it back in and let it turn on by itself. If you did it right it will say 'kindle' with a yellow triangle instead of 'Unknown USB device' or whatever, then once you see this, right-click kindle and click uninstall. when you do that, turn off kindle, and unplug then re-plug back in. You should see kindle again. When you do, install the Google USB drivers that you used in rooting 6.2. Now you can use KF Utility to change the bootmode.
If if doesn't work just let me know, cause this worked for me. I don't see why it shouldn't work for you.

Boot into TWRP... then follow my other directions.
From the op of KFU thread:
Known Tricks
•If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution
•If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.
That fixed my issues in fastboot when I was trying to install TWRP the first time. If that doesn't work then [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20945694&postcount=506]check out this post[/URL]
I cannot boot into TWRP because the kindle keeps shutting off because it is dead. It isn't read by the computer.
Plug it into electrical outlet and leave it alone for three hours.
While waitin for three hours assess your problem and find the solution. Search.
Then execute solution after fire is charged.
Will it charge even when it keeps turning on and off?

Yes it will keep charging.
It did not charge... At least I don't think it did..
When you plug it in do you get a solid color or is the light flashing?
When it's plugged in to the wall and the light is solid you should perform a hard reset by holding power for 20 seconds. This will fully shut down your KF and it will accept the charge
If by flashing you mean turning on and off by itself than yes, it is flashing.
Please help..I'm losing it
Same problem here. It does not seem to charge when plugged into either wall or computer. The green light flashes on and off repeatedly and the recovery screen (yellow triangle) just comes on and off (it eventually just goes black while the green power light continues to turn on and off)
in order to help myself I have done a few things
1: KFU isnt working.
I updated the drivers through KFU
I tried to change bootmode to "normal" and it hung on "waiting for device" I tried hard reset here and nada
2: I tried booting into normal fastboot 4000 through command prompt and hung on "waiting for device" tried reset..nada
So just like the poster above I cannot get into TWRP as the computer never truly recognizes the KF. This all happened when my wife turned on my kf and didnt know what the TWRP was and hit the power button for recovery. It loaded back to the stock kindle set (I had been using CM7) and since then I've been eating FUBAR soup as it doesnt work
Seriously..im pulling my hair out here...any help? I'd try to return the kf to Amazon and save myself the pain but I think we know what would happen when they plug it in and see the flashing triangle...lol
1. Plug your kindle in to the wall for 3 hours like someone mentioned previously (it will charge) The issue with the device being in a boot loop has nothing to do with the kindle fire not charging, this is perfectly normal if you have modified system files and the system can't boot the Android OS. It is also normal to never get past the Yellow Triangle if for some reason that you have changed to FastBoot mode. (Some people may be misinformed thinking that FastBoot does what it sounds like it does (boot fast - not the case), that's how this usually happens)
2. After you know the kindle has been charged for at least 3 hours on a known working power outlet. Press and hold the power button on the kindle for 20 seconds or longer until the device powers down completely.
3. Press the Power button to turn the kindle fire back on, and be ready, as it comes back on press the power button as soon as the Yellow Triangle (firefirefire) logo first appears. Press it up to 5 times rapidly. If you get to TWRP then you can relax. - If you get to the Yellow Triangle and you have pressed the Power button a few times but it is still stuck in a boot loop before giving up try one more time to shut down completely and reboot while pressing Power button rapidly.. You want to be sure to do this before the Yellow Triangle screen goes dim .
4. When you are in TWRP you should be able to use KFU or ADB. You may want to change the boot mode if it is not already to "Normal" if you are having this problem with "Normal" then try to reflash the Kindle with a recovery image or a new ROM.
Hopefully you can at least get to TWRP by following this, so that you can at least flash the kindle with a different update.zip. Good Luck
Charged like you said...still no charge. Flashes on and off and when you pull the power cord goes to black like its dead and will not turn on at all whether you hold it down or just push it...
Never had a problem like this before, could always at least get it to turn on or off not a mix of both lol. Thanks for the help...any more ideas on how to get it where I can at least get it into recovery?

I'm experiencing the same thing.
I'm still confused... are you guys trying to charge it while it is in the boot loop?
Have you tried turning it off (holding down the power button for 20-30 seconds until the screen and the power button go dark and stay dark)? And then plugging it in? I wouldn't expect you to see the firefirefire triangle if the device is off while charging.
The other thing that you might want to look into is the factory cable. Supposedly charges the device and can access it w/o any battery power at all - if I understand that thread correctly.
The point is you can't turn it off, it's dead. If you try to put it on charger either through wall charger or USB, it blinks on and off repeatedly and the power button does nothing at all. The computer won't recognize (tried several diff ports and pcs)
I'm beginning to think the factory cable is my only option to bypass the bootloop and fix it, just hoping I wouldn't have to wait so long for a cable or drop 40 bucks on it. I guess that's what I get for messing something up!
I left it bootlooping for like 6 hours on the charger. Unplug it and you can't turn it on. Plug it in and it bootloops and you can't turn it off. So is this just bricked for good with no possible fix?

Kindle fire turning on and off by itself and won't charge
The only way I know around that problem is unfortunately to remove the back cover and remove the battery with a good adjustable power supply apply 3.7V to the battery for a 30 to 60sec it will draw approx. 3.4A and over the 30 - 60sec the current draw by the battery will drop. Be very careful as you don’t want to blow it up. Put the battery back in and you should find the kindle will charge again. Good luck
Hmmm, I wonder if the factory cable would be an alternative as last I checked an adjustable power supply (if you're without one) can run 70-100 bucks which is half of the kindle itself, I'd almost just take my chances sending it back in to amazon. Thanks for the help though from someone who has had the problem
I'm using the factory charger but I have twrp.when I boot it it shows the triange then shuts down then back up in a loop, what should I do.I had the charger plugged in then the kf just died
Please help
I am seeing more and more of these threads of the kindle "not charging" after TWRP is installed. I am wondering if it's user error or something deeper.
I would let it charge for a bit and see what happens. Also press the power button a few times when you turn it on until the light turns orange. If it does turn orange and boots into TWRP then you know at least the kindle is not "bricked" and you can restore a backup.

Thanks but it won't charge at all I know its not charging because when it turns on a little later it shuts back down,then it boots up and shuts down even faster than last time.
Have you try to press and hold the Power button for more than 30 seconds?
I think I need to take the battery out and charge it separately,but how would I charge it once its out?I need help.

mad at myself
I am so mad right now...I got it working by making a charger that is one volt stronger.It booted up, but then i was going to take a picture of it to put on xda and when i plugged my charger in the seond time, the device shut down.NOW WHEN I CONNECT A CHARGER TO IT IT WONT EVEN TRY TO TURN ON,BUT IF I CLICK THE BUTTON IT TURNS ON FOR 2 SECONDS THEN TURNS OFF. I am so mad:
i assume you meant Ampere not Volt ?
usb charger has 5V - if build one with 6V (don't know how) - you will damage the device !
it should have ~2A - let it on the strong charger over night

I'm pretty sure that will work, if you can get that far. Otherwise (assuming you've already opened it) unplug the battery cable, start the fastboot command, plug in USB, then when (if? not sure it'll work) fastboot completes plug in the battery.
Changing the charging voltage won't help because the charge controller has a built in regulator. IIRC it will take something >12V, but there are probably other things on the USB V+ that might get fried at those levels.
I do remember from the tiny bit of battery charger documentation I'd seen that the Fire's charge controller does not have the flat battery recover feature, that is, provide a trickle charge by default if the battery is too low to power up the CPU. Which is flat out stupid on a consumer product.
I installed Go Launcher HD onto my KF and after that the device's performance became very lagged. So, I shut down the device in order to restart it. And when I turn on the device, Kindle Fire logo appeared and then the screen went black. After that, I cannot turn on the device as nothing appears (even the orange-color power button light.) When charging, the device becomes hot (which I think it's charging correctly.) But when connecting to PC, nothing comes up (again, even power button light) and the device manager cannot detect the device's plugged in. That's why I cannot try unbricking my KF with other unbricking softwares out there as it cannot be detected on PC. Please help me how to solve the problem.. (already tried pressing power button for 20sec but nothing happened)
Firmware is 6.2.2.something and it's already rooted
Please..
Thanks a lott!!
Uninstall and delete your drivers
Find and reinstall new drivers.
Use command prompt and fastboot to change bootmode to 4000
Reboot
Get rid of KFU

I installed the driver using the one from KFU.. and when using cmd, the message keep saying "No device found" although I connected to the PC.. =(
plss...
Did you uninstall then reinstall your drivers?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium
yep, bro! I just tried... nothing's happened.. the PC still can't see the device attached.. Also, even power button is not showing orange color..
Make sure you have a good charge on the device. You may have to leave it plugged in for a day to make sure. Afterwards, if you aren't able to get your screen to turn on, your next step would probably be to get a factory programming cable.
If you are able to turn the device on then it's probably just a matter of issuing the appropriate commands.

Try This
I had something very similar happen to me the other night. I couldn't power on the device. Nothing would see the device......computer or wall charger. I didn't have a green or orange power light either.
I held the power button in for 30 seconds. Let go and hit it again and it came back to life. Seems simple I know but it worked for me.
I did a good charge.. tried leaving charged for at least half a day (pretty enough amount of charging time.. I think) nothing comes up beside becoming hotter when charging and yes.. I did tried pressing the power button for 30 sec several times.. it really shows up nothing..
Btw, what's the factory programming cable, bro?
A factory programming cable provides power directly to the device instead of the battery and forces the device into fastboot mode. Your problem is that you are already in fastboot mode and if I'm not mistaken, the device will not charge in that mode.
The factory cable gives power to the device so you can issue fastboot commands to change the bootmode so you can charge it normally (among other things).

So, please point me out.. should I try that one? cuz I'm from Asia and not okay to order that stuff.. should I really try with that one?
You have a couple of options, depending on how brave you are. You could make your own factory cable http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/146492-how-why-make-your-own-motorola-factory-cable.html Or you could CAREFULY open your device and make a temporary connection between the number 4 and 5 pins of the USB port. By opening your device you stand a real chance of causing irreparable damage.
But I can't see a reason why you wouldn't be able to find a "Motorola style factory programming cable" somewhere in your area. Search the web, you might get lucky. I wouldn't suggest doing anything that would get you in trouble with your local government though.

So the battery died completely in my girlfriends rooted Kindle Fire. When plugged into the USB cable via the computer, it would just keep shutting off and on again. I plugged it into the wall outlet, it boot up to CM9 and then shut right off again and indicated it was charging. Went to turn it on now and the device simply wont turn on. The back light turns on and off via the power button, but the device does NOT power on at all. Help?

Questions:
Have you pressed the power button for 20 seconds to shut it down and try again?
What version of FireFireFire are you using?
How long did you let it charge before trying again?
When the device is turned on, does it show up in your device manager?
When the device is turned on, are you able to send adb or fastboot commands like "adb devices" or "fastboot devices"?

Thanks! I was able to get it to boot finally by simply holding down the power button while it was plugged into the AC outlet. I have no idea why that worked!
Hi, i have never opened a new thread,
but this time i want to share my solution for the 5 second bootloop.
If your kindle fire is not turned on and it keeps showing yellow triangle and blinking when you try to charge, this is the solution for you.
I experienced same issue today and googled and search xda.
but i could not find any easy solution without other cable or tools.
I accidently? find this solution so it may not work on all cases and may be cause some other problem, but it worked fine for me.
Solution
1. Connect your kindle fire cable to the wall charger first, but
do not connect with KF yet.
2. hold the power button for 3seconds
(nothing will happen as it does not have enough power)
3. keep press the button and connect the kindle fire
4. done.
Even if the charger is connected, the KF will not turn on.
So the power is not wasted and the KF will be charged.
Leave it for at least 30mins.
and then turn it on
Congratulation! Your kindle fire is BACK.
