[Q] Kindle Bricked no adb, not recognized

I am stuck with this headache and have stressed my self for hours trying to fix this so now I turn to you guys for help.
My Situation:
I had kindle to 6.2.1 then I rooted it, installed CM7.
after using it for 7+ days there is an update of CM7 by another dev. which had sound in the CM7 so I tried to flash it.
I put it in the SD card and renamed it CM7.zip from Update.zip so I flashed on Custom Recovery to flash the Update.zip later finding out that I renamed it to CM7.zip so I was stuck at Customer recovery bootloop so I enter the command to flash stock recovery to boot as the CM7 required.
so after stock recovery flash on Kindle the Kindle got stuck on the "kindle fire logo"
I think it was stuck in Fastboot.
I tried with KFU and Kindle Fire Unbrick software but the thing is NONE of them detect my kindle
I have tried soo many ways to Get my kindle detected to unbrick it but still no luck
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

BUMP!
Still need help with a bricked kindle

BUMP!
Any1?
Kindle Still Bricked and not working >.<

Have you tried Kindle Fire Utility 0.9 to install the latest drivers? After that install Kindle Fire Unbricking Utility 0.1 to unbrick. If that doesn't work, reply with a detailed explanation of what you're seeing and what you have already tried.
This post has links to both and a good alternative option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21232193
Good luck.

Hey,
My kindle got stuck in fastboot too. It wasnt recognized by KFU and unbricking tool. Here is how I managed to recover to normal boot:
Remove the drivers in device manager and reboot your stuck kindle fire, but do not unplug it (just hold power button for pretty long time till it shuts down, then just turn it on). Windows should recognize some device. now install adb drivers and launch KFU. If it sees your fire you are good to go, if not just try changing bootmode to 4000 as if it was recognized.
BUT this worked for me. I do not know if it will work for you! I takeno responsibility or whatsoever.
Good luck sir. Do not give up

First of all, I would like to thank you guys for your help, really appreciate it.
Now, I have tried both of your suggestions and I had no success
I have the latest drivers and everything but still adb doesnt detect it and the KFU says adb status: offline, bootmode: unknown and adb root: No.
in the Kindle Unbrick tool it says error finding device and KFU is stuck on waiting for device.
whenever I connect my kindle fire I dont hear any sound but when I connect my htc sensation it says device ready to use.
I think I will have to contact amazon to get this kindle fire replaced ='(

it looks like you have a driver issue - primarily
this is what has to be corrected first
then we could see what to do
therefor some info about your os would be helpful (os/bit)
what drivers are you using ?
do you have the newest kfu available ?
if yes - moved and renamed to c:\kfu ?

In my case, KFU also stated
status: offline
bootmode: unknown
adb root: No
but it still worked when I tried to change bootmode to 4000.
Also, are you sure your KF is charged enough to start? Try plugging it for a while, then recheck in windows.

I am running Windows 7 64bit on two of my laptops and windows 7 32 bit on my desktop.
the Kindle logo is not glimmering or flashing so it is in fastboot, I know that much.
I have tried the drivers that came with the KFU 0.9.2 (Newest, I believe)
and Yes the Kindle Fire is fully (if not mostly) charged as I had it on the charger for 6 hours last night.
and No I have not placed it or renamed to c:\kfu
I will let you know in a minute about the results

If it keeps saying Waiting for Device then it's not really in fastboot. I had a similar issue and got it solved through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430515
It was stuck in a boot loop and appeared like it was in fastboot, but it would hang up and not respond. You may need to install the fastboot package manually and force it into the right mode. Then you can load TWRP and put it all back together.
If ADB isn't working though, you will need to start by getting that to work. It sounds like a driver issue even though you said you worked on that. You should try the Ubuntu boot method and Firekit to install the fastboot package through ADB. Those are outlined in the link above.

got it ?
if you have a 32 bit machine available that is the better choice cause you don't have to hassle with the 64 bit drivers too
here some information that should clarify the driver things:
in normal boot the device is "android composite adb interface"
in fastboot the device is "android adb interface"
here again all the possible commands to change bootmode:
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
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 !

Still no results
I connected my brother's kindle and the computer immediately recognized it and when I connect mine, it doesnt work! :'(
apparently still having the driver issues :'(
any help?
I have tried the KFU driver and that didnt work

I had a similar problem while trying to install TWRP the first time via KFU except I was stuck at the yellow triangle and not the Kindle Fire screen.
First I replaced run.bat in the KFU folder with the one from this post because my Kindle was 6.2.2. Next I installed the drivers for my uknown device in device manager both by pointing the unknown device to where I saved android_winusb.inf and also ran the install_drivers.bat. I got an error saying they could not install.
Next, I followed the steps here
•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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and when I rebooted my Kindle, it booted normally and appeared as Kindle in Device Manager. So despite KFU not detecting my device, and the drivers giving me problems, I was still able to issue the command in KFU for normal boot mode and held the power button for 30 seconds and it was back to normal. This is on a Windows7 64bit machine. I hope this helps.

Make me the third. Here is my story.
I have lots of rooted and rom'd devices so I'm agreeing that this might be device related and not the drivers? Or maybe specifically the Kindle driver? Since all my other devices work fine.
I bought my kindle and rooted it on day one 6 weeks ago using TWRP. things have been perfect on my KF. I decided to install CM7.1 yesterday morning and it was working great. I just realized I never rebooted it so what Im going to say shortly may have been bound to happen.
So last night I decided to add a google Market update per a link on XDA that stated this can be updated to my current CM7 install. After this my KF just kept going into TWRP automatically. I then decided to load my backup rooted stock room and still my KF just boots into TWRP.
Next I decided to use rootkindlefire's unroot/stock rom to 6.2.1 (drop the bin renamed to update.zip to the SD) and got a TWRP logo screen. I powered off a couple times and now I get a KF logo screen. I tried the 20 second reset and it flashes (Windows XP see the request for a USB device also), but no KF OS loads. Windows is showing Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface but the SDcard does not mount files.
I tried:
Kindle Fire utility and it says: Oops... something went wrong. We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire. Make sure it is plugged in and powered on. Press any key to continue . . .
SuperOneClick 2.1 says device isn not found
SuperOneClick 2.3.3 just sits at * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully *
Stuck on logo option for Kindle Fire unbrick says: Kindle unbrick in progress... adb server is out of date. killing... * daemon started successfully * error: device not found error: device not found Congratulations, your Kindle should be unbricked!
My Sonxy Xperia, Eris, Vibrant and LG470 all work fine when connected.
At a loss here..

[SOLVED by Linux method by pokey900] Yellow triangle, pc doesnt detect my kindle fire

Hey everybody.
I have tried all options regarding kindle fire utility and no success.
Here's my story:
I have rooted 6.2.1 firmware. ALl worked fine for the past month. Yesterday went online on my kindle fire for about ah hour. Today I tried to turn my device on and twrp screen appeared (though i didnt hold power button for no second) and started installing updates (updates within twrp). But I was very stupid by holding power button and the device was turned off.
When I tried to turn it on again yellow triangle came on and nothing happens. The PC doesn't recognize my device, kindle utility doesn't help.
SO I think nothing will help until my PC detects the KF. In device manager i see no question marks, KFU cant detect the KF.
Please help me somebody

Your KF can be bootable. First you need to connect your KF to your PC and use a general adb Android Composite driver for Windows to communicate to your KF. Once you are able to communicate I.e
advanced devices and you see the SN of the KF, then follow the instruction given in the fastboot thread available under development ofKF.

Hi, firstly I have Windows XP, following the link provided I cannot complete these steps:
Click on Windows (Start at bottom left).
Select Devices and Printers.
I don't see that "Select Devices and Printers. "
I try to right-click on my computer-properties-hardware-device manager.
I don't see kindle there, I don't see any question marks.
So, any ideas?

Previously I installed drivers and everything, I gain root access ect, I have TWRP installed. I connected my kindle to PC multiple times without any issues, but...
everything changed yesterday. I guess my device got updated without my knowledge. Amazon is very unfair. They should have implanted an option if people wanted to update automatically or manually, like every Windows or any other OS has got.

Here is what happening now:
I open KFU go to boot mode, then connect my kindle fire and press 1 (normal mode) very fast (it looks like the computer recognizes the device for a couple of seconds only) then triangle disappears and...... I see kindle fire words. I start jumping of joy (for 2 seconds maybe) then the triangle shows up again and nothing happens.
So sad

would try to follow this thread starting at post #2:

My issue was solved via LINUX solution found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
To be short:
1. Download Ubuntu 11.10 - Latest Version (about 700MB)
2. On the same ubuntu website foolow step to to create bootable USB stick and follow the steps provided
3. Download file from the buttom of the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038 and copy it to the root of your bootabel USB.
3. Now boot your pc from USB
4. Now you should be in Linux
5. Now I quote: "When Ubuntu desktop shows up, press the Windows key on your keyboard and type "term". Hit enter to run the terminal.
In the terminal window, type "sudo /cdrom/fk".
You should now have a prompt that says "[email protected]:~/firekit#"
Now the most important part. SInce my pc recognized my kindle fire for 4-5 seconds only I needed to be very quick. SO this is what I did next:
I typed in the terminal "install_fff_twrp_from_stock" and didn't click ENTER.
Then for the first time during this process I connected my kindle to PC, waited one second and then hit enter for the above command to take effect. A couple of seconds was enough and Now I've got working KF.
Thanks to the guy who wrote LINUX SOLUTION, e.g. pokey9000

[Q] Stuck on FireFireFire logo slightly diffrent problem

So after reading and trying how others on here fixed that very same problem I deiced its time to make a post and ask for help because those other methods did not work.
Ok I did something stupid and I went ahead and did a factory reset to my kindle. Yes I know it was a complete noob thing to do and I should have known better seeing that I have rooted and flashed ROMs on all my other android devices and never once did something that dumb but I did it this time. Now I do have a back up made and had it safely stored on my PC.
Problem is that I can't get into recovery it stuck on the FFF logo and holding down the button only brings it back up. When the device restarts windows recognizes it as an unknown usb device and won't connect and Adb also wont recognize the device or show that it is connected. So now I need to ask someone who is more knowledgeable then me on what to do next. Any help will be appreciated
Ok update: Was able to solve my own problem using the Kindle fire utility and by uninstalling the drive for the kindle through the device manager, then using the drive install_drivers.bat in the KFU folder to reinstall the drivers. I next unplugged my kindle from the pc, turned it off by holding the button on the kindle in and then restarted it with the usb plugged into the pc. My Pc recognized my kindle and I was then able to use KFUs Bootmode menu and once in there used option 1. to boot it in normal mode. Hope this helps anyone who was stuck like I was. My memory of which adb commands to use was a bit rusty but using the KFU helped with that part.

[help] kindle fire stuck at yellow triangle/reboot loop

Hi, I've recently rooted my Kindle Fire device using KFU v9.3. After this, I noticed that FFF and TWRP weren't installed. So I used KFU to install FFF and it worked perfectly. I tried to install TWRP and it failed saying
"Oops… something went wrong with the download.
The recovery downloaded is not correct.
Please try the download again."
However, on the second try it worked up until a point where KFU said "Setting Normal bootmode" followed by "waiting for device...". This was when my kindle got stuck on the yellow triangle screen and my computer has not been able to recognize it since.
I have tried to install drivers via the install_drivers.bat file in KFU, however i get the error "install failed (Unsigned)" I tried to use Zombiepirates' Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility and selected "Stuck at logo" but it can't find the device.
Now when I plug my kindle into the computer it just keeps turning on and off and my computer doesn't recognize it.
I'm using a WIndows XP pc and I have access to a windows 7 one if needed.

Try this..

Have you tried using KFU to change the bootmode back to normal despite your kindle not being detected? After you attempt to change the bootmode to normal perform a hard reset (hold the power button for 30 seconds) and your kindle should be detected. Hope this helps, worked for me for the same issue

I can't, whenever I use "install_drivers.bat" I get an error that says "Install failed (Unsigned)"
Do you know how I should go about fixing this?

Yes I have. It says "waiting for device" and I did a hard reset to my Kindle but still it's "waiting for device" now my Kindle is just shutting on and off rapidly whenever it's plugged into the computer

Is windows blocking the driver? You're on XP right? Try this, then try installing the driver.
Right click on My Computer then select Properties to open System Properties.
In “System Properties” dialog box, select the Hardware tab.
Click on Driver Signing button.
Make sure "block" option isnt checked. That wouldn't let you install any uncertified drivers.

Update your kindle fire driver with the file in the KFU directory.
Go into Device Manager, find the Kindle fire, update the driver and point it to the driver in the KFU directory. (KFU>drivers>kindle)

I don't know why it's doing that. Is it constantly rebooting? Try another USB port or PC.

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.

Kindle Fire in FFF Loop
I am also having the same issue as well. Tried running the KFU for unbricking and still nothing as my PC nor my laptop is able to recognize my KF. Not sure what to do. It is constantly just looping while connected via USB and if I disconnect it, it powers off.
Any help would be great.

sounds like empty battery
would try to charge it with the wall charger for some hours
if it turns on if you plug it to the wall charger try to power it off by holding the pwr button ~20sec till it turns off to allow charging

noob needs help with ice cream sandwitch gone wrong!!
Hey ya'll,
So I'm sure you're tired of noobs posting but I just need a little help. I rooted my kindle last night and then tried giving it ics 4. So, I wiped everything (as instructed) and before hand I added the cm09 file along with the gapps. Yet, when I downloaded and extracted these two files they came out as multiple files so I first extracted the files to my desktop. I then transferred the individual files to the root of my kindle. When trying to "install" them , the individual files(which cm09 and gapps had been comprised of ) popped up but I couldn't do anything with them (flash ,etc). So, then I tried condensing all the gapps files into one "gapps" folder and all the cmo9 files into one "cm09" folder and transfer it to the root. Same thing happened. What I think I should haev done is not extracted either and just have sent the unzipped files to the root of my kindle...woops...I am a dumb noob after all! So, now I'm stuck with my kindle and when I turn it on to "normal mode" (not the TWRP) the "kindlefire" insignia pops up at start up like normal but it just sits there like that. Any idea of what I should do and where I can get the files to do it so that I too can have the LIMITLESS POWER OF ICE CREAM!!?? MWAHAHAHAHA...really though..any help ?

would try to boot to twrp - tap mount and mount sdcard - copy the cm9 file to the root of sdcard as instructed - install it with twrp - that should do it
you can install the necessary gapps afterwards - if i remember right it is also described how to do in the op of cm9

i just wanted some help. I rooted my kindle fire and flashed everything had cm7 on it one point and wanted to try miui's rom. I did as instructed but its stuck on the fff screen. Ive also tried as b63 instructed. But every time i connect my kindle it shows up for a brief second and disappears. What do i do? Please help! thank you!

You are 100% correct.

If the yellow triangle is flashing and the tablet turns of when you unplug it from your computer then the battery is totally dead. I figured that out after 7 hours of frustration!

Yea I had that same issue with mine. I connected it to its factory shipped charger and about an hour later it was turning on and staying on.

stuck on yellow triangle after miui4.0//on mac

I have read the write up on how to restore the Kindle after being bricked by miui4.0
I however am on a new macbook pro, have downloaded KFU for mac, have everything installed and where it should be, (i suppose. I have done this on my parents windows machine but this mac is new to me.) I have all files needed in the same folder as dab.exe and fastboot.exe.
When I run either script it just pops up in the terminal and really doesn't run through the script like it does on windows. And definitely nothing happens.
When I open the terminal and start putting in the commands in the thread about restoring the kf, every command just says "command not found"
So now I'm stuck, and would very much like to use my kindle fire. I will get back to my parents house to use the windows machine in a few weeks and can def. get it restored then, seeing as how I know how to do it on windows, but this is my first mac.
Thanks guys!!!

EDIT: SOLVED.
after spending about 20 minutes with "b63" on TeamViewer, I was able to get the commands correct for a mac. mainly just newbie stuff due to the os change.

just took a look to the linux/mac version
if you open a terminal and cd to the tools directory of kfu then there are the commands
for mac it's:
adb.mac and fastboot.mac
that means you have to adapt the commands like eg:
fastboot.mac -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
edit: attached corrected run.sh - just rename (remove .txt)

trying to cd to the folder but says no such directory.
even though when I go through the hd, its right there.
the terminal doesn't make sense to me like it does with a PC.

Need Assistance Via Teamviewer to Fix Kindle
Hi
My Kindle is stuck into the yellow triangle blinking when I link it via usb.
The Kindle run flat and when I tried to get it going again it was stuck in this loop.
I tried unsuccessfully to get it out.
If there's someone willing to assist me via teamviewer please let me know.
I am on a mac.

when the yellow triangle is blinking it is booting constantly
means the battery is dead - try to charge it with the wall charger
for some hours - best over night - if you don't use the original charger
be shure it has ~2A - most replacement chargers have only 1A - that is
too few to charge when the battery is so low

wall charger
Hi b63
I have no wall charger. I will check with the friend who brought it into South Africa if he got one with.
If not. You are saying that I can get such a wall plug micro USB as long as it has ~2A.
Thanks for that.

On a Mac, type:
cd <space> and drag the folder you want to change to, into the Terminal window.
You can only cd directly into the next folder in the tree. Otherwise, you need to type the full path.
i.e. $ ~/Users/JohnDoe/AndroidSDK/platform-tools

I am currently working on a Mac, and do not have access to Windows.
My Kindle Fire was running v6.3, and I rooted it using BreakDroid v0.6.
And now I'm stuck at the yellow triangle. Pressing the power button during this phase won't bring me into recovery mode.
While the device is powered on, and plugged into my Mac, at the yellow triangle screen, I opened a Terminal window and typed "adb shell", but am receiving "error: device not found."
Also, wotandsdwys, where is the post on how to restore the Kindle after being bricked by MIUI 4.0? A link would be very helpful.
And is this the Kindle Fire Utility you are referring to? Is the script that user b63 attached to this thread supposed to convert that to be able to be used on a Mac?
Anything at this point would be helpful. I keep finding solutions that require a PC, but not so much when you're on a Mac.
Thanks!

While the device is powered on, and plugged into my Mac, at the yellow triangle screen, I opened a Terminal window and typed "adb shell", but am receiving "error: device not found."
Also, wotandsdwys, where is the post on how to restore the Kindle after being bricked by MIUI 4.0? A link would be very helpful.
And is this the Kindle Fire Utility you are referring to? Is the script that user b63 attached to this thread supposed to convert that to be able to be used on a Mac?
Anything at this point would be helpful. I keep finding solutions that require a PC, but not so much when you're on a Mac.
Thanks!

I am in the same boat. I used Breakdroid, and was stuck at the kindle fire boot screen. Stupidly turned the power off and have been stuck on the yellow triangle. Could someone help me out? I am a total noob at this stuff

Bump?

Don't own a mac but consider this link for how to input adb commands

and this link for the necessary commandlines:

If you are stuck at the boot logo then you are in fastboot mode. ADB commands will not work here, only fastboot commands.
Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23747567
It will tell you what you need to know about the difference between the two.
If your boot logo is simply a Kindly Fire logo without an android above it then you need to install FIREFIREFIRE, else you will not be able to enter recovery with the power button.
Find the FIREFREFIRE development thread for instructions on installing.
Mac is not much different from PCs when using adb and fastboot other than driver installation, but you should already have that taken care of.
In some cases you may need to type ./fastboot ... rather than just fastboot but other than that the commands are the same.
