I've bricked my Kindle Fire into Bootloop. I installed busybox 1.19.3 and was attempting to install TWRP recovery with "Kindle Fire Utility" then it started to download the latest version of TWRP. While it was downloading my Kindle Fire rebooted itself (download has not finished yet) and was stuck at the "Kindle Fire" splash logo(no animation). What should I do?
My adb cant find my device at all.
I've added
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
and installed the adb driver currectly.
Note: Before it got bricked, root access turned off after installing busybox.
I've tried Hard Resetting, but turns off at 10sec and stays in bootloop after i press the power button.
I don't know what to do, plz help!!!

OK that helped a lot and fixed it. now its stuck in recovery bootmode. KFU cant even detect it. its stuck with a yellow triangle with fire inside, and says "press power for recovery" on the bottom.
What should i do???????
use kfu anyway - change bootmode to normal (point 1 of my last post)
KFU cant find device
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
what's the error message if you try the KFU ?
looks like a driver problem we have to sort out
what's the status of your drivers in device manager ? (assume your on windows)
if windows what version/bit(32/64)/language ?
yes , im on windows, 32bit xp Traditional chinese
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
it stays in <waiting for device>
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
ok - you have a driver problem
do you have the newest KFU (.9.1) ?
download and run install_drivers.bat
Still didnt find my kindle...
how should i connect my kindle??
i turned it off my pressing on the power button for 10sec, ran KFU, went in to bootmode menu, connected my kindle and ran Normal(4000), and stays at <waiting for device> .
like i said - you have a driver problem
take the newest kfu and run "install_drivers.bat"
if that does not work we have to uninstall your faulty drivers first and
if it's really bad we have to install the drivers manually*
let' take one step after the other
* to uninstall old/faulty drivers:
disconnect kf and use:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us
connect KF and select the last installed driver (which you installed by running "install_drivers.bat") manually (check the date/time on selection)
alternately you can try:
open a command prompt and cd to the tools folder (Kindle Fire Utility\tools)
do the following commands:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot
depends on the current status/bootmode of your kf and drivers if it's working or not ...
or this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20756846&postcount=15
or if you can get into TWRP by pressing the power button at startup till it gets orange:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20757041&postcount=16
the terminal is in the right upper corner
did you get it ?
adb wasn't recognizing any devices
kfu wasn't letting me change boot mode
I reinstalled ADB on kindle (it was listed under other devices again...not android)
now adb is installed but it says no devices listed
still stuck on yellow triangle with fire screen.
can someone help me or link me to a older thread that can help me?
I seriously just want to get my device functional again...i don't even care about loading a custom rom anymore (I think this has completely discouraged me from trying to load a custom rom on this thing ever again.)
there are a lot of reasons, try reading this:

and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20761609&postcount=12
if you have still problems after doing this, ask further
btw. don' be encouraged - it's a common problem - once you've setup you drivers correctly (connect right in every bootmode) most problems are gone and you can do nearly everything you want with your KF
FIXED!!!
Thanks Guys!!!!
I just switched a computer and installed the driver(so i dont have to uninstall form first computer).
Then started KFU didnt cared if it said "cannot find device" and chose the bootmode, surely the Kindle Fire Rebooted, Started up, and Recovery working greatly. Thanks Guys!!!!!!!!
glad to help ...

So I was following the tutorial HERE to install TWRP, after successfully installing root via the previous tutorial.
I got to the step where you have to hit "reboot" on the kindle screen, and then press any key in the CMD prompt. I waited till it was on the yellow triangle screen, with text at the bottom stating I can press power button for recovery. I hit "space" to progress my installation, and it got stuck at "activating normal <4000>" as the video said might happen.
Following the instructions, I opened Device Manager and sure enough, the kindle was displaying a missing driver icon (although mine was still called kindle, in the video it was called something else.) I told it to reinstall the drivers, and this is where it got strange. It claimed the driver was up to date, but still displayed the yellow driver error symbol. Now, when I plug in the kindle, it shows up as "unknown device" and when I try to install the driver, it claims my driver for unknown device is up to date.
Meanwhile, the kindle itself it chilling on the yellow fire/triangle screen.
wat do
It says your drivers are up to date? You shouldn't be trying to auto install drivers, you have to do it manually, or are you trying but its just not letting you?
I am manually selecting the folder in the Device Manager dialog, and it tells me that the driver for "unknown device" is up to date
I have found that if I turn the kindle off by holding the power button down, then plugging it in(while off) it will show up as "ADB Device" (not ADB Composite Device), but nothing works, and if at this point it is unplugged and re-plugged in, it returns to Unknown Device giving an error code 43
Okay getting to adb device works, reinstall the drivers like your supposed to under that and then use KFU to try to get it to boot normally

well, I got it to display "ADB Composite Interface, but when I run the KFU, it says ADB Status: Offline.
Furthermore, when I run "adb devices" my kindle does not show up
What device IDs do you have listed in %userprofile%\.android\adb_usb.ini? I know most people only list one ID but I found that a surefire way to get the driver working is to have both 0x1949 and 0x18D1. You also need to have those IDs in android_winusb.inf
This was the only way I could get my Kindle to be recognized while in recovery

I added the 0x18D1 to adb_usb.ini, and I beleive it was already in the other .inf file. Now, my kindle is connected, and device manager sees adb composite device, but adb devices says nothing is connected. Im feeling a reboot might be necessary, which sucks because my computer doesnt reboot well (long story)
You can try adb kill-server and try again
Trouble
Having trouble getting TWRP to install on my Kindle Fire, I had no problems getting it Rooted and getting the Market installed, but trying to run the TWRP program it just hangs at the waiting for device and the Kindle hung at the KindleFire logo. I'm running Window's 7 64 bit is this suitable for TWRP
Thanks for any help.

I fixed my device using the info I found in a thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431785
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot
Unplug your Fire from USB, turn it off (hold the power button ~30 sec), run the first fastboot command above, then plug it in. If the first command completes, do the second.

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.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
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..

Hi guys!
I have a problem with my kindle fire, brought 2 days ago...
Yesterday I've tried to root my device...and I think that I've done (because on my Fire, there was the superuser app)...but after that, I've tried to put C7 rom but the tutorial says that before this, I need install TWRP.
I've tried to install TWRP with KindleFireUtility...but after 3 steps, the program reboot my device and when it restart, remain fixed on the bootscreen (the black-screen with text: "Kindle Fire" and NO yellow triangle)
I've tried to use CMD but the problem is one: never command (on cmd) find my device...beacause also the pc NOT FIND DEVICE!!!
Please help me...I'm very desperate
PS. sorry for my poor english

I can't do this! Because when I plug-in my device on PC, windows XP not recognize the device!!!
So, if I go on device manager (on pc) in the list of devices...there isn't my Kindle Fire...and then I can't re-install drivers!!
it's not kindle fire - look for "android phone" or "unknown device"
i've only find "device USB unknow" (this a translation, because I'm italian and xp says: "Periferica USB non riconosciuta").
I've uninstall this, I've restart XP and I've plug-in my device...and I try to install the driver but when I select the .ini file, there is no good for this!
which ini ? which driver set ? do you use the drivers from kfu 0.9.2 ? if yes - fine
the right driver installation file is android_winusb.inf (not the ini) in the drivers\kindle folder of kfu
nothing!
1) I plug-in the fire
2) XP says that is an unknow device
3) I open the device manager. In the "USB root HUB" there is a "Unknow Device". DoubleClick that open a window of Property.
4) I click on Driver tab and click on "Upgrade Driver". Choose the path (folder driver of kfu) and select "android_winusb.inf"...but there is a message box "The specified location does not contain information about the hardware".

I Think that the principal trouble are DRIVERS! In fact, when I plugin my device, now XP (another pc with xp) see the device but tell me that the device is unknow...
So, I try to install driver from (extras/google/usb_driver/android_winusb.inf) but xp says that "there is no information about hardware".
after 48h, now XP see my device and I reinstall the driver (android_usb.inf).
but...now I've anothere trouble: WHY the Kindle Fire Unbrick not see my KF?
While KFU see my device and show me this:
adb status: online
adb rooted: no
boot status: unknow
but if I open CMD and write "adb devices"...no device found!
What Can I Do?
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 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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
