Here is what I did. Followed the attached video, and when the guy got to adb shell, and went in as su, then entered bootmode 4002 to create boot image, I got called away from my desk, and a coworker unplugged my kindle. Now it is stuck at the kindle fire boot screen, and I cannot get adb to recognize it again. Please help me before I am forced to off my coworker.
cant post the link, because I am a new user but it is zedomax's post on you tube.

Ok, so i wanted to install Cynogen Mod 7 on my perfect kindle fire. So i followed the directions on http://liliputing.com/2011/12/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-7-on-the-amazon-kindle-fire.html. Everything was going fine, i downloaded and opened The Kindle Fire Utility and used the permanent root option. It rooted and everything went fine. Then i went to the TWRP Recovery, it installed and then went into fastboot. It took a little while for me to realize that it wasn't going anywhere. I started following other guides to unbrick my kindle fire but all my efforts was in vain. I got desperate and uninstalled the drivers, the kfu and windows 32 bit computer won't recognize my kindle and i just want this horrible nightmare to end. Can someone please help me here.
You are currently being assisted in another thread. After an attitude you posted another. The other thread was not yours, so understandable, but please be more patient.
Reinstall the drivers using the .bat file. Try to restart the kindle again. 90% of the time these are driver issues. If that does not work, try the fastboot commands in the other thread and restarting the kindle again. The Cd "your directory" is typed in then press enter. Each line is a new command so hit enter between each.
I missed it I believe and just "fastboot reboot"
after installing twrp recovery in th 6.3 root by jcase.
Now I'm stuck at the yellow fire and adb does not recognize my device any more and fastboot says waiting for device.
Did leaving this line out brick it? I got too excited after seeing the recovery screen I must have missed the line. I'm scared to do anything. Please help.

connect it and hit normal boot in kfu and when it says waiting for device turn the kindle off by holding the power button then turn it right back on and it will connect during boot
KFU utility? or unbrick? I tried to use the utility to root option 2 but I believe I had the path wrong. I had adb set up correctly cuz it recognized my device and I made it all the way to flashing the recovery img.
I'm not that command line savy any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

i was rooting using the 6.3 method I made it through the first set of command lines. I installed the twrp.img. i saw it on my kf's screen. I got excited cuz I've been at it for a few hours typed fastboot reboot without the idme oem 500 something(sorry from memory I know thats not right) So the device rebooted into fast boot(yellow triangle with fire) and immediately tried to download drivers as the device was no longer recognized by fastboot(waiting for device) or adb (daemon started but no connected device) although after reinstalling the driver through kfu its now recognized in fastboot but not kfu. i think it has something to do with putting kfu in platform tools. So I know I'm not bricked just not sure where to start I'm gonna try the command line I believe I missed or a couple right before it.

OK cool so you have twrp and fff flashed.... do like I said before hook it up in kf utility hit the number for normal boot and it will say waiting for device.. turn your kindle off by long pressing the power button and then turn it back on and it will connect and switch to normal boot wile the kindle is turning on
if our using just adb in a command promp type this
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Thanks for the advice. The problem was I had the wrong path for kfu. I have rooted an Evo an epic and my transformer all fairly easy. That actually took me around 4 hours. I really should use adb more. That was my sister's KF I was rooting. I couldn't stand to see her using it stock like that. I got Hell Fire up and running. Thanks for trying to help.

No problem glad you got it going and good choice for a rom
I used the kfu to root 6.3 and followed all the instructions perfectly. The command prompt told me the root was successful and I caught the kindle screen out of the corner of my eye and it looked like it was loading into twrp but it shut off and won't turn on. I've tried hard resetting and nothing. My comp won't recognize the kindle plugged in and have no idea what to do. Srry if this has been asked before but I think i might be in trouble and need help asap. Thanx

Hello, my kindle fire is stuck on the kindle fire logo, i have tried to hold the power button to do a reset, but it just stays on the logo after the reset. I don't have TWRP installed. I have attached an image to the post that shows the driver. I have tried to use the kindle fire utility, but my kindle appears offline. I will be very grateful to anyone that can help.
Thanks In Advance,
Zachary.

with emphasis on device drivers.
"Android ADB Device" typically means the device is in fastboot mode and you cannot use adb while in fastboot mode.... you must use fastboot.
With your KF off and disconnected from your work computer, run this command...
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
and then connect it to the computer. The KF will turn on automatically. The computer will say "<waiting for device>" for a bit, but if the command works, it will eventually return "product: kindle" as output. If that works, you can actually flash TWRP from there, but if you are anxious for it to do something again...
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
should get it booting normally again. If it doesn't, look at the link I gave you and focus on getting your drivers fixed. You won't be able to execute any commands (fastboot or adb) through Windows if the device drivers don't work. You might want to go back to Firekit if drivers remain problematic for you.
Everything you need to know to fix your KF is in that link at the beginning of my post, including the commands you need to run. At the bottom of post #3 is also another link to a how-to root/install ROMs page.

Can you please walk me through the whole process? Are you talking about cmd???
When i type it in there it says fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command .
As mentioned your answers are in the kinfaux "beginners guide".

What did you do to the KF to end up with it in it's current position? Prior to the current issues have you ever used ADB or the Kindle Fire Utility to connect to your KF? If not, or even if so, you need to read the entire Kindle Fire for Beginners. The entire second post will take you through installing the Kindle Fire Utility and verify you can connect to your KF. When that is done you can use it as josepho1997 suggested.
Long time ago i root my kindle and everything was find but i touch the factory reset bottom and i thought that i had to did the root again and i made a mistake because the root was there so when i finished to root again my kindle get stuck on the yellow triangle so..... i see that there said touch the bottom to go to recovery mode so i go there but i cant do anything there i try to do an actualization but when i put the actualization by the comuter in to the kindle fire i cant find it
i need help please
sorry for my english is bad i know but im trying to repair my kindle
To me it sounds like you Bricked your kindle, There are numerous tutorials on how to fix this. I found the easiest way was to use Kindle Fire Utility and if it says the boot mode is 4002, To switch it to 4000, And it fixed mine numerous times.

but are you sure becuase i actualisate my kindle with the kindle fire utility and get stuck again a long time
Try this:
Open CMD > Navigate it to your ADB directory, For me I do "CD C:\KindleADB". > Type "adb devices" and post the result. If it doesn't show your device, Try typing "fastboot devices" and posting the result.
