I don't know what to do. I'm giving him the kindle fire back on monday but it's bricked! It's stuck on the Kindle Fire screen. When I go to device manager I see,
Android Phone-
Android ADB Interface
I was in kindle fire utility and I clicked on fast reboot then it got bricked. Anyone know how to help me? please?
i assume you did'nt read very well or don't know what fastboot is
you selected "fastboot" !
just redo kfu and select "normal" this time ...
kindle fire utility is very easy to use, as long as your computer can recognized your kindle fire with ADB protocol, then you should be ok. read the instruction in detail please
You may need to reinstall your drivers... This happened to me as well.. though not quite the same

First, sorry for my english.
I have a Kindle Fire OS 6.2.1. I dont know why my Kindle didn't work with ADB driver.
Only one time it work when I used Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.1, then I run option 2 then 3. After that, my Kindle reboot and stop at logo's screen, and adb didn't recognize my Kindle anymore.
I tried install/uninstall, downloaded new driver, install Android SDK,.... but don't luck.
All method to unbrick need adb work well.
Help me fix this issue, please. I live in Asia and can't return my Kindle for Amazon.
first - have you read and done the tricks from kfu ?
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.

Just to be redundant this is not a 'brick'
Confirming the driver issue- gotta use diff drivers I restored my Win8 to the kfu .6 just to get adb working

The 2nd option help me out to get my kindle fire recognized.
Thanks.
On mine I booted it up to the firefirefire logo and right before the screen flickered I'm not sure if yours does that) I ran a command on the an adb shell command then re ran Kindle fire utilitity's taro installed and it fixed it!
I spent two weeks with a similar problem, finally have everything working. My biggest problem was a USB to micro USB cable that worked fine for charging, but seldom worked for communication between the Fire and my PC. Try another cable.
If your PC beeps when you insert the USB cable, then the cable is probably OK.
Next likely problem is that you don't have ADB installed properly. You can check this by typing adb help at the CMD prompt. (START, RUN, CMD, adb help) If you get a lengthy response, then ADB is installed OK. If you get an error msg, then you need to fix that. Google "How to Install ADB"
If ADB is OK, and you still can't see your Kindle, you probably haven't updated your PATH Variable properly. "How to Install ADB" should include instruction for doing that, but you need to be sure you enter the actual path that your have to the SDK Platform_Tools folder on your PC, not the one described in the video.
Once I managed to get these three thing all working at the same time, things started to fall into place. To most of the people on this forum, these things are probably obvious, but to an old geezer like me every step is a painful learning process.
Good luck
So i may have bricked my Kindle Fire. I rooted it successfully, did not install TWRP or anything similar. Installed the Android Market but could not get it to work so i "deleted from device" from my carousel and my Kindle turned off and couldnt turn back on Then I attempted the Kindle Unbrick Tool and tried that, but it seemed that it could not find my Kindle on my computer (I'm running windows vista) Even when i plug in the usb it doesnt make the happy little noise it makes when you plug in something. I went to device manager and saw that it was recognizing it both as "Android" and under portable devices, "Kindle" or a few times it came up as "L" which is the usb port I had it plugged into.
tldr; Unbricking tool is not "finding" my Kindle on my computer Also I'm kind of a n00b at this, as far as running codes and whatnot.
side note: My kindle is also low on battery at the moment. I have it charging right now, so maybe that's a factor?. When I turn it on, I get the Kindle fire logo but no animation, it still stays lit after that screen as if it's still on but nothing happens..Any advice would be appreciated ^.^
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 take no responsibility or whatsoever. Good luck sir. Do not give up
(If you bricked your kindle after trying to install MIUI, then go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22433402&postcount=4) I just recovered from a bricked kindle fire, so I decided to make a quick tutorial on it.This tutorial includes the DRIVER issue. After trying to install TWRP, my kindle was stuck at triangle.I unbricked my kindle. Here is how the easy way
1.Download kindle fire utility
2.Unzip kindle fire utility
3.To install the driver,its easy,just plug in your kindle, when it pops up with the install wizard say pick from the location of: KindleFireUtility>drivers>kindle
4.run kindle fire utility,select 1 then select 1 again
That's it, hope it helps someone like me
I just got my KF tonight and decided what the hell to go ahead and root it. I read the information in the development thread on the Kindle Fire Utility (ver 0.9.3).
I installed the driver files on Windows 7, no problems, device manager shows my device as a Kindle and not ADB composite.
Once that was done, I started the KFU and got my command prompt stating that it was resetting ADB and waited and waited.
I then got the messages after about 5 minutes stating that the daemon had been started successfully.
I then kept waiting and waiting and waiting for around 15 minutes.
I am not a complete noob to rooting, I rooted an OG Droid and my Samsung Fassy. My question is how long is it suppose to take to get the number prompts in KFU or am I totally missing something here
Please any assistance is greatly appreciated.
It should take few seconds. Apparently, your PC configuration for USB driver is not correct.
I recommend before using KFU that you test the interface using adb. Start with adb devices command. If you get a response from KF with its s/n then you go a he'd and use KFU to root, install bootloader fff, and recovery such as cmw or twrp and finally select a ROM to install.

Well I rechecked through ADB, got this as the feedback. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, device mgr still showing as Kindle USB device.
C:\Users\Ninja\Desktop\ADB>adb devices
List of devices attached
2CBC002600000001 device
Am I suppose to be seeing this output or the name of Kindle on the output?
Yes, you do have ad working.
Now you can root your KF.

The screen is just Frozen on Kindle Fire once we turn it on
Computer Specs:
windows 7 ultimate
64 bit
Kindle Fire Specs:

How do we fix this?
Launch KFU and try selecting 1 then select 1 again. Plug the Kindle Fire into the USB; NOT on a USB 3.0 PORT!!
Hope you was able to get the fastboot drivers install...

humm...Item 1 in your first post...LINK??
NOTE: you really need to get FFF 1.4a and TWRP 2.2.0 installed before you tinker too much as they will keep you from killing your Fire.
