Do I Now Own A Brick?

So im stuck on the kindle fire logo on boot after using kindle fire utility V .8 and well i think im bricked. No commands are working and the power button is basically useless. My main question is ive seen some people say they sent it to amazon and got a new one. How would i go about doing this?

Why don't you go read the many threads describing your exact same problem you can fix it.
No you can not return it your warranty is now void.

go into irc with vashypool and he might be able to fix it, donate if u can..

It does seem that this is a very popular problem... I am not sure what amazon's requirements are exactly on returns once bricked especially if you rooted, but I will say with how popular this problem seems to be, I am sure many of the experienced devs on this site are working on a fix for this (hopefully)... If not I would suggest donating to one of your choice if possible for the work that they have already put into it, explain your problem to them and I am sure it would motivate them to come up with an easy fix for this. Whatever happens you should definitely post back with your findings so that you can help the comunity further with knowledge...

it's not bricked - i never saw a really bricked one
he's in the wrong bootmode - a common problem and a matter of minutes
read the kfu thread in the dev section !!!
basically here are the following things to do:
1. run kfu - select change bootmode - select normal -> success ?
if not
2. shutdown kf by holding button for ~20 sec and power back up - then point 1 -> success ?
if not
3. disconnect and shutdown KF - shutdown computer and turn on again (no restart) - connect kf (don't turn it on - kf will do at connect) - then point 1 -> success ?
if not
4. you have a driver issue - did you run install_drivers.bat before using KFU ? - correct your driver problem - then point 1 -> success ?
if not
5. ask further

Thank you just had to change the bootmode!

My KF is in a boot loop. Boots to the kindle fire logo, sometime does the animation (highlights letters from right to left), sometimes doesnt.
I've downloaded the KFU and installed the drivers. When I run the bootmode menu, it says ADB Status online, ADB rooted no (even though my kindle IS rooted).
When I try to change bootmode to normal, I get a number of errors:
Error: Could not access the Package Manger. Is the system running?
Error type 2
android.util.AndroidException: Can't connect to the activity manager; is the system running?
mount: Operation not permitted
mount: Operation not permitted
failed to copy 'files\rbfb' to '/system//rbfb': Read-only file system
Unable to chmod /system/rbfb: No such file or directory
mount: Operation not permitted
mount: Operation not permitted
then it says root activated and that the kindle is running in root mode
<idme> Invalid permission
reboot: Operation not permitted
Then despite all the errors, says kindle has been told to reboot in normal mode.
Kindle still gets stuck in boot loop when I try to power on. I've tried powering off the kindle and then on and retrying, I've tried powering off and disconnecting the kindle and computer, still no luck.
Any advice?

if your kf is constantly rebooting (2-3 sec) read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424379
if not and you can connect via kfu set bootmode to normal or do it manually depending on the bootstate your in:
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

FWIW, Amazon are really liberal when it comes to returns on the entire Kindle family.
At a X-Mas Eve party, a friend dedcided it would be a good idea to stream some things with AirTwist and left his KF laying on a table, it recieved some pretty serious damage from being dropped, stepped on and having stuff spilled in it, we dont know how, but Amazon replaced it.
So I would say your best bet in case of brick is to at least simulate damage=\

Thank you.
I just wanted to mention this "as it might help others": I was stuck in Kindle fire screen, can't boot, and can't see the ADB status.
In the device manager I was seeing the yellow mark.
I restarted the device, then the yellow mark went.
Selected change bootmoe -> normal from KFU (even though the status is offline), and worked!
Thank you again.

I am having this exact issue and i have tried to install drivers but it will not install the drivers it just brings up a code 10 this device cannot start. The device is in my DM as android ADB Interface but it has the yellow "!" sign. kfu when trying to fastboot just says waiting for device and none of the drivers i have tried allow KFU to do its thing and normal boot it.

I just wanted to add, I just had a similar issue last night. I was loading up the MIUI ICS rom, wiped like normal and rebooted to the firefirefire triangle. ...Did not like... Anyhow, I was following the many unbrick guides and couldn't get anything to work. The KF would reboot, and my system (win 7 x64), would see the KF as an unknown device with, "error 43", device cannot start. Then the unit would disconnect(windows sound) from usb, and reconnect and disconnect and then go no where. Each time I rebooted the KF it would do the same thing, also would not go into recovery if I hit the power button during boot. I made a factory cable from an extra usb micro cable I had, to force it into fastboot, and it would come up in device manager as an android usb device. still could not see it via adb directly or in KFU. I found it was the android sdk drivers messing it up. I uninstalled the Android SDK and reinstalled the KF driver package that came with the KFU and viola! I was able to run the TWRP install, and successfully get into recovery. I tried the MIUI ICS Rom install again with a new download just in case, but with the same results. wash, rinse, repeat. I restored my previous ROM in recovery and it booted up like a champ. I'm assuming that since the SDK drivers were causing the issue, I could have probably got the fastboot in firefirefire(during boot) to work properly, and not needed the factory cable. Just wanted to share my late evening fun.
Cheers!

[Q] Another Bricked KF for the Pile [SOLVED]

I looked through A LOT of bricked KF threads but I can't fix the issue that I'm having. Before I found this forum and the very useful looking tools that it provides (KFU, etc) I managed to root my KF by using adb and pushing / installing burritoroot by the command prompt. Everything looked OK, I installed su and got root access to work in the adb shell as well as for apps.
I attempted, without much success, to get the Android Market working on my KF but it always crashed. I messed with some permissions like for /system/app, but I changed that one back to match the other folders in /system.
I may have deleted an apk out of /system/app that wasn't the Android Market, but I'm not sure...
Anyway, I tried to reboot my KF and it got stuck in a boot logo loop. It reports a boot mode of 4000 (normal).
I tried the fastboot recovery method and also KFU, but there are some issues:
Root access seems to have disappeared (access through adb shell cannot be elevated)
Burritoroot will not install anymore through KFU (I get the message "Error: Could not access the Package Manager. Is the system running?"
The above message also occurs when I try to use the adb install command
Fastboot never recognizes the device. It sits on <Waiting for Device> forever.
I've tried rebooting the KF while connected and reconnecting the USB.
I made a Factory Cable, but the Fastboot condition is the same.
I uninstalled my Windows drivers until it showed up as "Kindle" in the Device Manager and installed the files that came with KFU.
I tried the KF Unbrick utility, but that didn't seem to do anything that I missed.
Additionally, when I connect with adb shell I have limited file system access. I can is through /system and some other folders, but I can't access /sdcard and I can't seem to mount the sd card
After writing all this and thinking it through, I decided to compare the /system/app directory on my KF with one in an update.zip file that I downloaded.
It looks like I deleted the file ApplicationsProvider.apk from /system/app
That seems to be the only thing missing.
Is this a Try-to-return-your-KF important file? Is my KF hosed?

Nope, if you can get fastboot working it doesn't matter how broken /system is. Try this to sidestep the Windows driver problems I think you're having:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
Once you get TWRP installed you can restore from the stock update which will wipe and replace /system.

Thanks I'll give this a shot. I had some issues with Windows when trying to install Cyanogen on my Droid X and a Linux Live-CD got me back on track. Hopefully this will do the trick. I'll report back.

Well, I'm in Ubuntu and I got the firekit stuff up, but it does the same thing. It refuses to connect with fastboot. It just sits at < Waiting for Device >.

I had a similar problem and it was my usb driver set up:
/etc/udev/rules.d/##-android.rules
the ## for Meerkat is 70
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ATTR{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
Vendorid is 1949 for KF

Are you sure you're in fastboot at that point? Are you using your factory cable? Try doing this to get into fastboot mode and use a different USB cable to connect with fastboot. If that doesn't work, do the same but use Firekit in case the fastboot drivers are messed up.

I'm probably not in fastboot. I'll give this a shot. Thanks again.
Edit:
That seems to have gotten me into Fastboot! I'll see if I can get TWRP installed.
There's a faint pulse =)
Edit 2: TWRP installed OK and I used it to try and install the stock update.zip. It rebooted and then got stuck at the logo again, but I'm going to keep working on it. At least I have a tool I can use.
Edit3: I seemed to be stuck at the TWRP yellow triangle, I think I managed to install FireFireFire, and managed to get back into TWRP. I cleared all my caches and did a factory reset. Then I installed a pre-rooted version of 6.2.1. It did a little reboot dance for a while and then came up into the OS!
Thanks a ton pokey9000. I'm happy to send a couple $$ your way.

Just in case someone else reads this... The Yellow Triangle is not TWRP... it is FireFireFire... TWRP by default is the blue themed screens you get after the FireFireFire icon and will start out saying TEAMWIN in Landscape mode.
BTW, good to hear you fixed the problem. You should edit the original post and change the Subject adding [SOLVED]

Sorry about the confusion. It was the FFF triangle, but the KF wasn't going into recovery when I held the power button down. I reinstalled with FFF using adb and it worked. Original post subject updated.

How I was able to unbrick my Kindle Fire

Hi everyone.
I managed to brick my kindle fire within an hour of purchasing it, but using the suggestions on this forum, I was able to get it back up and running in a few hours.
The method that I had to use involved suggestions grabbed from several threads, so I wanted to provide instructions on exactly how I managed to fix mine in case someone ends up in the same situation as me.
For starters, I had just updated my Kindle Fire to 6.2.1 and I was messing around with trying to get the google app manager installed. I rooted the device, and I was changing permissions in the /system/app directory when the device crashed and became stuck on the boot animation. I did not have TWRP installed at the time.
So if you are like me, or in a similar situation, this may be applicable.
These instructions assume that you have adb on your computer.
First, ensure that you are able to communicate with your device using ADB. Verify this by using the command:
adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or by using the kindle fire utility and ensuring that the status is online.
If you are not able to communicate with your device AND have the boot animation (right to left reflection across the "Kindle Fire" logo text), you likely have a driver issue.
Several possible ways to resolve this. First, I recommend going to device manager and unistalling the driver for the android phone adb interface. Unplug the kindle fire and plug it in again. The device should show up without a driver as "kindle". Manually apply the proper driver again and check the adb connection. If this does not work, uninstall the driver again and add 0x18d1 at the end of adb_usb.ini on a line underneath "0x1949" and reapply the driver. Toss in a few shutdowns in between some of these steps if you are still having trouble. Hopefully you now have a connection to your device.
If you are not able to communicate with your device AND do not have the boot animation (right to left reflection across the "Kindle Fire" logo text), your kindle fire is in the wrong bootmode (likely fastboot).
To fix this, download fastboot.exe (if you don't already have it) and run the following command, even if you don't have an adb connection)
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or if that doesn't work
fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your kindle fire should restart and now be stuck at the logo with animation, and you should have the ability to communicate with your device through adb now.
Now, you should download the kindle fire firmware (6.2.1 as of the time of writing this) from http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620. Rename this to update.zip and drop it in the same directory as adb.exe on your pc. Execute the following command.
adb push update.zip /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, you need to use fbmode to enable the fastboot mode, per pokey9000's instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20755810
Assuming that that was able to complete successfully, you need to flash TWRP 2.0 per pyrostic's instructions at http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12363-ho...our-kindle-fire/page__pid__301703#entry301703
You now should be stuck at a screen with a yellow triangle. Pressing the power button several times until it turns orange should bring you into the recovery screen. Do the following:
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Factory reset
Go back to the home screen and select install -> update.zip
And when that's done, you can tell it to reboot.
It'll think for a minute or two at the kindle fire boot, and then it will go into the initial setup screen. You're now the proud owner of a working fact0ry default kindle fire!
Quick note: I wrote this from memory quickly to try to help anyone experiencing problems. I'm no android expert, so if there are ways to improve on this or corrections to be made, please let me know so that the community can benefit.
And I don't want to appear to take undue credit for any of these instructions. I did not come up with anything on this guide on my own, everything came from various threads on this forum. These are just the steps that I followed to successfully bring my kindle fire back from death.

Man, My Kindle Fire does not even get detected by my PC

****When I run the fbmode I am getting stuck on the boot logo screen. Can someone please help me??

that is normal - you are in fastboot mode now - adb commands don't work in this mode - fastboot commands do - resume with the description ...

Thanks for your post.
I also "bricked" my kindle the day I got it but my issue was not having the correct drivers installed when I started the rooting process. My drivers would recognize the Kindle when it was booted normally but when it went into fastboot mode the Kindle would just show as "Unknown Device" in device manager. In windows you can't remove the drivers for unknown device so I had no way of backing out the old drivers.
What I ended up doing was grabbing my other laptop and making sure I had the correct drivers installed, then connected the kindle and was able to back it out of fastboot mode.

Just wanted to say thanx for the post. I ran into the exact same condition that the op did where I inadvertently screwed up the permissions on the /system/app directory which caused the kf to wig out and brick. I wished I had seen your post earlier because I ended up going to many posts and piecing together the information which was a little confusing at times. The op is great and I just wanted to point out two observations that seemed to me the most confusing working through the issue and getting it unbricked and hopefully will bring some clarity for folks.
1. Understanding the different states of the "kindle fire" logo.
- Shimmering animation and appears to loop = normal boot mode and is the state that you should be able to communicate with adb. This is the state where you can push files to the kf like twrp and fbmode which is what is needed to get kf in fastboot mode when bricked like this.
- The logo is static and does not "wink" out or loop = fastboot mode. This is when you use fastboot commands on your PC to change boot modes and also execute files such as twrp to get it installed once you pushed it to the kf with adb.
2. USB Drivers.
- This can be a real killer. After playing with this for hours, the one thing that I found that helped the most was when the driver stopped working I would unplug the kf from the PC and then hard reboot the kf (hold on/off ~20 seconds) then just plug back in, don't use on/off. Keep the device manager open on the PC and watch. You will soon start to see a pattern when you have the right driver and do this a few times.
Once these things are ironed out all eventually works out. BTW, this occurred after my kf was upgraded to 6.2.2. So the instructions and tools and everything else you will find still works. Good luck to anyone working through this issue. Just remember, if you can communicate with it, it's almost certain there is a way to recover it.

[Q] [Solved] Kindle fire stuck on yellow triangle and no working drivers.

So I JUST got this thing today, and was trying to get android marketplace.
here is the list of things that have happened so far:
1. after moving vending.apk to apps folder, main GUI crashes and hitting the home button only switches through apps
2. decide to reboot since it is the next step for installing marketplace anyway
3. stuck in boot loop with shiny animations
4. manage to get TWRP installing
5. post says I need to hit 'reboot' on my kindle. I do.
6. stuck on yellow triangle, with all the drivers no longer working no matter what I do.
known fixes I've tried:
-uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
-rebooting computer and kindle multiple times
-selecting 'android driver' or whatever
-pressing the home button right after startup to try and get back into recovery mode
when looking in the device manager, it used to come up as 'kindle' with the yellow exclamation mark. now it only shows up as 'unknown device'
I JUST got this thing, and it wasn't from an official seller, so im basically on my own... anyone know what I should do?
EDIT: now the device manager IS saying 'android composite ADB interface' but it still wont how up in the kindle fire utility...
EDIT2: I was able to get it into restore mode, and get TWRP to pop up. I then have it clear the cache, and restored back to factory defaults. when I told it to reboot, it rebooted back to recovery mode. I then used the Kindle Fire Utility to set it to normal boot mode.
NOW, the problem im having is that it is stuck in a boot look with the animated 'kindle fire' logo.

Its working now! turns out that originally, all I needed to do was change the system permissions back to 755.

Yes, I have twrp 2.0 installed. It had worked fine until yesterday.

have a .android folder in your home dir ?
should have adb_usb.ini in it with this entry: 0x1949 and 0x18D1 - if not add it
then it should show up in kfu
to test manually:
cd with an (elevated) command promt to the tools folder of kfu and do:
adb devices - should return serialnumber and bootmode

When I went thru this procedure it says "list of devices attached"

I think my problem is drivers. Since my pc recognizes kf for several seconds only.
During those several seconds nothing really I can do.

Arrow [Q] Kindle fire bricked, adb : device not found

Hello,
I know there are many similar threads but i have a slightly different issue: I was editing /system/build.prop and did a reboot and i got stuck, right after the Kindle Fire logo pops up it goes black at the time the animation is supposed to start, computer reads it fine but ADB nor Fastboot will pick it up.KWRP also doesn't work, Any help?
IMPORTANT:
I have a backup of a TESTED and WORKING build.prop, if i can mount the Kindle in windows i will be able to apply the backup and fix it that way.
FYI:
I don't exactly care about keeping my data anymore, I just want it to turn on and be usable...

When you first try to power on the device and the amazon logo is still being displayed have you tried to get adb shell rooted or set it to recovery mode boot? Without the firefirefire bootloader it is going to be difficult to use adb unless you can at some point get adb to connect. Just out of curiosity, why didn't you also flash the boot loader instead of just flashing twrp? All I know to try is either kfu and keep hitting 0 to recheck device status and maybe you will get an Online+Rooted read out at some point before the system attempts to load & crashes.

I try to get into recovery mode, I'm not sure why i didn't use FireFireFire, this is my first tinker with an android device, I tried KFU from the instant i pressed power button to the black screen and its just unknown device. Is it broke for good?

I have a crazy idea and i have no idea if it will work, but it's worth a shot:
After reading the Kindle Fire breakdown, I think i can take the kindle apart and get access to it's internal SD, my questions is this: can I somehow plug it into a computer?

So KFU is reporting unknown device? Sounds like you need to install the kindle fire USB drivers again. Is this on linux or on windows? unknown device means that it is recognizing a device, just doesn't know what device it is.. You need the correct drivers installed for the Kindle Fire, be sure to re-install those and try again.

When I was stuck on Fastboot I just reinstalled the Drives and then changed the boot over KFU.

The fact that it goes black right after the kindle fire logo makes me think it's not stuck in fastboot (would be unlikely in a build prop edit) which is why you can't get fastboot to recognize; at the same time depending on where it's failing during the boot init adb won't load either.

I have a crazy idea and i have no idea if it will work, but it's worth a shot:
After reading the Kindle Fire breakdown, I think i can take the kindle apart and get access to it's internal SD, my questions is this: can I somehow plug it into a computer?

First off; I seriously doubt you would be able to mount the sd from your PC properly. Rather than cracking the device I would try booting it from a factory cable, it should hopefully force fastboot mode at which point you should be able to resolve your issues.
