I have rebooted my kindle fire while waiting for it, but I haven't been able to find other solutions, please help! I'm fairly sure that I have ADB working... I'm really not sure what to do

If you would have followed my tutorial you wouldnt have this problem here is the fix:
• I have noticed that some people have problems getting stuck around 2:32 into the video where twrp is downloading and getting ready to install. If this happens to you and it is constantly “waiting for device” You may need to hit disconnect on your KF and run burrito root on your Kindle again, click “agree”,then click “You Rock”, Then click “root”. Once you do so you must re-open adb shell by opening a command prompt and typing the following:
cd c:\KindleADB this is to get into adb shell
adb devices this is to make sure your kindle is connected properly
adb root this is to get proper permissions
Just to be very clear on what you should type in your cmd prompt:
cd c:\KindleADB
adb devices
adb root
• Once you have done this re-open the run bat in KFU v0.9.1 and select option 5 again and it will install the twrp with proper root permissions.
here is a link to my tutorial for you to check if you have more problems afterwards:

I tried what you said, and have made some progress, the Kindle Fire is rebooting when it comes to say "waiting for device" but then gets stuck at boot, so I have to put it back to normal boot rather than fast boot

Once again all of the answers to your problems and the questions you have are in this tutorial. From what it looks like to me from your screen shot you do not have "root Permissions" if this is in fact the problem then what you are probably trying to do is to start at step five from the Kindle Fire Utility and download to install twrp2.0 If this is what you are trying to do then you must see on the command prompt of KFU that you are downloading and then waiting on device. If this is still your situation then the fix is what I stated above and in my link. If you have gotten passed that problem and still have issues with you either being stuck at the yellow triangle( firefirefire ) or a Kindle Fire boot screen that will not go away then the fix is also in my link... If you do not wish to follow the link and see the videos or read through the trouble shooting guide then I am afraid I have no way of helping you...
If I helped please do not forget to hit the thanks button and post back in my guide thread that it worked okay for you as well so that new members can see that this is one of the easiest guides to follow here is a link to take you to that guide a little quicker good luck....

Not wanting to steal any of Vashypooh's thunder, but I kluged together the following tweak/hack to restore full functionality to KFU with 6.2.2 ROM and the new version of BurritoRoot.
Basically I've taken JCase's directions for using BurritoRoot2 and incorporated them into Vashypooh's script. I know there are better ways to do this, but everything seems to be working OK.
1. Download the new BurritoRoot2. Links can be found at the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410223
2. Move BurritoRoot2.bin to the '\files' subdirectory in your Kindle Fire Utility directory.
3. Find 'run.bat' in the KFU directory, open in your favorite text editor, and find the following section:
Code:
:burrito
if "%adb%" == "Online" (
if /i not "%rooted%" == "Yes" (
echo. Installing BurritoRoot, Courtesy of Jcase of TeamAndIRC!
echo.
tools\adb install -r files\\%kindleroot%
echo. Activating BurritoRoot...
tools\adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n net.andirc.kindleroot/net.andirc.kindleroot.DirectCall
echo. Elevating the Shell...
tools\adb kill-server
echo.
tools\adb root
echo.
tools\sleep 5
set rooted="yes"
4. Edit the section so it looks like the following (the highlighted lines are the changes):
Code:
:burrito
if "%adb%" == "Online" (
if /i not "%rooted%" == "Yes" (
echo. Installing BurritoRoot, Courtesy of Jcase of TeamAndIRC!
echo.
[COLOR="Red"][B]tools\adb push files\BurritoRoot2.bin /data/local/
tools\adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/BurritoRoot2.bin[/B][/COLOR]
echo. Activating BurritoRoot...
[COLOR="red"][B]tools\adb shell /data/local/BurritoRoot2.bin[/B][/COLOR]
echo. Elevating the Shell...
tools\adb kill-server
echo.
tools\adb root
echo.
tools\sleep 5
set rooted="yes"
5. Save the file and run. Full Functionality should be restored to KFU
I'll have to admit I haven't tried every option, but I have been able to install the permanent root, install Twrp, and install the Google apps.
Hopefully this works OK for you. If not... I can try to help, but I'm really pretty new at all of this. You might be better waiting for the next version of KFU.
I just used your method and replaced the Burrito2 code and added in the file. Then I went to 0.92 KFU and run it. Now my Kindle is bricked, stuck on kindle fire logo and the unbrick utility won't work for it.
thanks alot, your method works, i can install TWRP now

since it is still kfu the op of kfu is still valid:
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.

Follow the instructions carefully and don't mess up your run.bat. This method DID work for me. I regained root and reinstalled recovery without issue.
Thank you very much, rich_stwrt!
Have you PMed vashy with the updated code so he could add it to the KFU on the main thread?

Thanx for the info, changes worked fine for me. Just got my kindle 2 days ago and got recovery going now...time for some flashing!
yeah... if you use this to try and get into fastboot mode.... it'll brick you

Most likely not...
I used this this morning without any issue on a friends KF using his computer... There was a hitch where trying to get fastboot working but as usual it was the common problem of device drivers needing to be redone (again). Every thing needed to get his KF settled after the update is included.
Note that if you are seeing <waiting for device> your drivers are not loaded correctly... Even if they were before... you need to reinstall them again.
well, my kindle won't boot past the "kindle fire" screen, i've rebooted numerous times...
the lack of solid drivers for this thing is ridiculous
I edited the .bat file as you showed us how to do here and it worked great using the KFU, thanks a ton!!

what do you mean lack of solid drivers?
They include the only drivers you need with the KFU. If you get stuck look up the KFU thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889) and there are plenty of people that got stuck, read how to get unstuck in that thread.
If you follow the directions carefully it should work as I have done it all on 3 kindle fires and all 3 worked flawlessly. The 1st one required me to install drivers again and after that everything very smooth.
like alot of people i'm reading about, i've downloaded the "install_drivers.bat" 1k times.
i even deleted android sdk and re-installed it, still same thing. adb works, fastboot does not.

root Kindle 6.2.2
Ready to paste Burrito2 from Kindleupdates folder, but can't find "files" directory, even with search. Do I edit run.bat on the Kindle? Is there any way to see all the kindle folders on the computer? TIA
I tried this method but i'm getting this error when the kfu tries to write the recovery image after rebooting into fastboot mode.
"downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (data transfer failure (Too many links)"
Anyone had a similar issue?
I'm posting here cause i can't post in the official kfu thread.
Thanks for this! It worked great to quickly re-root my Kindle. I had absolutely no problems, but that may be because I don't use Fastboot. (To be honest, I never understood what I needed it for.)
Repacked KFU
You can find the repackaged Kindle Fire Utility for Firmware 6.6.2 in this thread:

Thanks for this tweak. It worked perfectly! Before this, I'd rooted manually following jcase's instructions but wasn't able to get the recovery software loaded. This fixed the issues

ok, thanks of course
but let me tell you I'm a very stubid person
you know? the root couldnt do it without the video on Youtube
so can you please give me the steps one by one, like how can i install twrp??
i relly don't know that much, but i would be pleased if you help me, thank you anyway
1. download kfu http://random.kennocha.com/kindle/utility/Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.2.zip
2. extract to c:\ and rename "kindle fire utility" to "kfu" that it is "c:\fku"
3. download http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
4. move it to c:\kfu\tools"
5. open a (elevated command prompt) and enter "cd c:\kfu\tools"
6. enter "fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img" - leave command prompt open - need it later
7. tap reboot on the kf - it should reboot to twrp
8. download http://www.multiupload.com/VUAPS24569
9. rename downloaded file to "update.zip"
10. copy update.zip to sdcard
11. in twrp on the kf tap install - select update.zip and install
12. if it finished tap clear dalvik/cache on the same site
13. in your command prompt type: adb shell "idme bootmode 4000"
14. and then type: adb reboot
that's it - if you have got no errors to this point it should reboot - it takes some time for the first boot
good luck !
Thank You Again I Know I'm like Pain in the Ass, but you are amazing.
So, Now I'm at TWR, I did All the 10 steps successfully but still My PC couldn't find My Kindle Fire So I can copy update.zip to sdcard
Is there A Soultion you have for this problem?
becuase I think my problem will be kind of easy after this step, right?
Of Course many thanks to you, relly man you are a lifesaver
I Love You
PS : when i adapt the kf with my pc and go to Devises and printers
it goes under "unspecified" and the name "Unknown Device"
not like the others the name is "kindle fire".
I'don't know relly what the mistake that I made but I'm sure I did one because
before the name was Kindle fire not unknown
and thanks again anda again and again
it's a driver issue right now
- right click the unknown device and select update driver
- select don't search and have disk
- direct it to c:\kfu\drivers\kindle
if your on win7 this might be helpful too:

Sorry for being late, but i had a problem with the internet conection
So...
My PC OS is Windows 7 64-bit
i did what wrote on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21720811&postcount=41
but it dosen't really helpful, in fact it was somehow, let me tell you what i got now
Now, My Pc Recognized my Kindle, and when I go to devices and printers I had this "http://i.imgur.com/q8SCu.png"
but when I go to My Computer, I found nothing !!
there is no Driver for the device.
So... is there any solution to this problem?
when you are in twrp you should tap on mount and mount the sdcard
then it should show up on your computer
you should use device manager to look at the devices and see what's going on
what i see on your picture is not the device manager
Ok, this is photo from my device manger

about the twrp i don't have any option
just the the yellow triangle and wrote down "Press power button for recovery"
of course i try to hold on the power button to recovery and nothing happen
also try to press the power button repeatedly but nothing happen
try to issue:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001
if the command says <waiting for device> then power it down by holding pwr ~20sec - unplug and replug - but don't power it on - does it by itself
the kf should pickup the command at some point and the command finishes
No Way!!
Now I'm really like this
really I don't think that my kindle will be back after what I did
but you man?? Unbelievable, you are amazing, you are Genius
Thank you so much, so much.
Now People I have My Kindle Back, wow!
That's really Unbelievable.
and you sir, you are fantastic!
thank you again, and good night "it's night where I live"
I'm trying to use the Kindle Fire Utility to root and install Google Apps/Market but I'm not getting anywhere with it.
I downloaded the file, ran the Driver Install .bat file. then opened run.bat
It keeps saying that the Kindle Fire is not plugged, and I've plugged it in over and over and over.
Its not listed in "Device Manager" as Kindle Fire, it says Android Phone>Android Composite ADB Interface.
Could someone please help me with getting root and Android Market?
I'm in the KindleFire IRC chat, but no one is talking/responding.
i assume you'r talking about kfu 0.9.4
it's a good practice to extract/move it to c:\ and rename it to "kfu" to that it is c:\kfu
have you used the kfu drivers ?

is it booted normally ?
then the driver should be "android composite adb interface"
is the kf doing something ? rebooting ?
GooglePlay and Go launcher wont install
When trying to run extras, GApps and Go launcher the utility just closes. I can't install Google Play manually either, even though I have mounted the permissions and the device is rooted. I've also tried the SuperUser app. ES File explorer wouldn't root the system/apps folder. GooglePlay will install but closes out when trying to setup the account. I'm using the latest utility, .9.4, and I have version 6.3 on the kindle. It took me a while to get the drivers to work right, and the root, but I did finally get it. By a while I mean 5 frustrating hours, but its the only way to learn. However my whole purpose for doing this was for the google play store. Any ideas? I will also donate for help. This is an awesome utility. Great job!
You are going to have to do a little more work to get the market to work. Do a search in the development section. There is a thread for that. I think you have to get the vending apk move it to the system/app folder and then reboot and then install it from that folder. A lot of apps require that method use the search function to find info on apps you are having a hard time with.
I am having the exact same issue. The device boots normally. It jsut isn;t recognized by ADB.

Alright, to start I have tested this and am currently using my rooted Kindle Fire with CM11. I also must say that this has only been used on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9, and I haven't tried it with the 7in variant, and I teccomend that you do not try it either. Also, I am not responsible in any way if you brick your device of mess it up any way otherwise. You must follow this procedure completely, no skipping anything at all. Let's begin.
1. Enable the function to install apps from unknown sources
2. Enable ADB debugging
3. Download Aptoide, install, and open
4. Search for vRoot, download, install, and open it
5. If an ad pops up, close it. There should be a green button that says "download apk". Note that this does not appear without ADB debugging enabled. Download the app and install it. This will grant you superuser access. However, you still don't have TWRP.
6. Open Aptoide, download and install supersu and supersu pro
7. To get TWRP, I used seokhun's guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105, while skipping step 1
This method works as of August 02, 2014, 22:00. If you have any questions just ask.

This guide, including the handoff for twrp and cm11 worked great for me. The root process was fool proof!! Thank you. CM11 is great on the HD 8.9.

Ill try the rootjunky method in a few hours, I tried the terminal emulator installed and it just forceclosed all apps and rebooted.
Sent from my KFTBWI using XDA Labs
So I got a bit impatient, and decided to retry the w0lfdroid method. The same thing happened from last time (apps wouldnt open) and so I decided to reboot.
As the device began to shutdown, SuperSU appeared for a few seconds, then my device switched off. I believe I have bricked my device as it has been stuck on the 'fire' logo for the past 10 minutes. Congrats to me ._.
I tried to install adb and its drivers, however drivers wouldnt install saying 'windows couldnt find any driver software for you device' when i point it to the drivers. Any idea why?

Thanks
Have I done it right? I hope I've done everything. Also when I open ADB a load of text flashes down the cmd box for about a second then it closes. Ran as administrator and everything. Hoping I can get this fixed by the weekend...
Ok, I think I got it.
Doing adb devices gives me G000HH0454340LB9, I beleive this is the correct device?
Anyways, plan is:
Boot into recovery on device and select apply update from adb
Get the 5.1.1 update (firmware it originally had) and place it in the folder adb installed in.
Do adb sideload (file name)
Wait (maybe grab a cup of coffee?)
Hopefully success, back to stock firmware!
Afterwards ill root with kingroot and then remove using rootjunky supertool.
Ok, this is getting kinda annoying.
Placed the update-kindle-32.5.4.1_user_541112720 .bin file in the same folder I have adb installed.
Booted devices into recovery mode, selected apply update from adb
Open adb, do adb sideload update-kindle-32.5.4.1_user_541112720
Get error message 'cannot read update-kindle-32.5.4.1_user_541112720'
Have ALL correct drivers and stuff installed @sd_shadow
Can anyone help? I really need this fixing...

try downloading the firmware again, or try a different version like 5.1.2
which version is on it now?

The version on my device before it was bricked is 5.1.1. I'm staying on that version since its the easiest to root.
