Kindle fire - Not even showing in device manager

Hey All,
So my kindle fire was chugging along just fine and it showed up in Windows device manager, mounted as a drive etc. I ran the 'Kindle Fire Utility' v3 and used zergrush - no problem. Then I selected 'Install latest TWRP'. It did something, rebooted, then it all went tits up.
Now when I turn on my kindle fire, I'm stuck on the logo. It doesn't show up in device manager and I've spent about 2 hours trying just about every adb/fastboot command I can find.
Obviously none of them are working because they just say device not found or sit on 'waiting for device' forever.
Anyone got any ideas at all what I could do? I've only had the bloomin' thing for about 2 weeks and I think I've really bodged it up!
I've read through every related post I could find and none of them seemed to match my conditions and none of the commands have done the job.
Fingers crossed! Cheers
UPDATE: I finally managed to fix this by booting from a live Ubuntu disc where the kindle was found over usb and I was able to use fastboot.

There is several threads about this use the search
Actually I think the answer to your problem is contained in the thread where you downloaded the tool.

Hiya,
I appreciate the reply but I think you're wrong. There are similar issues but I haven't yet seen any that are exactly the same.
You *think* there's a solution in that thread? or you know? Because I've looked through it and several others over the last couple hours and I'm still not making any progress.
Like any forum you're quick to jump on the bandwagon and scream 'use the search'. I'm active on other forums and I get the reasoning behind it. But I think you've jumped the gun in this case.
Cheers

others have reported the same behavior with version 3 of the tool.
they recovered by downloading version 1 or 2 and use the usb driver
from one of theese versions.
have not tried it, just read it today ...

Thanks for the heads up b63. I saw the same earlier and tried v2 but not yet v1. The reason being that although the drivers are bundled, I can't (that I know of) install them without the device at least showing in the device manager..
Cheers

From this I read "doesn't make the USB Connected noise when you plug it in". I don't imagine that different drivers will make much difference. Have you seen the post on how to make a factory USB cable?

Here's what you need to do to fix that:
Go to device manager
Right click the device. It will be Android USB Composite Device or just kindle
Click uninstall
Disconnect the kindle and reboot the computer
When the computer is back up, turn on the kindle and plug it in
It will fail to install the driver. So, go back to device manager
Right click kindle
Click update driver
Click let me choose...
Click let me pick the driver...
Click have disk
Point the file browser to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb-driver\android_winusb.inf and click ok.
Choose Android USB Device when prompted
Click install anyway if prompted
The driver should have installed properly now
open Kindle utility
Choose factory reset
Unplug kindle
Boot kindle
Have fun!!!

daveoggy,
That's right, no ding dong. Although if I turn the kindle fire on and plug the usb cable in immediately (have it sitting ready to push into the fire) then the device manager does refresh after about 5 seconds, as if something was connected. Although no new device is shown.
I'll look into the factory cable, thanks for that.

does the usb connection make a noise - thats the right question !
if jes then ist a driver problem - there is something wrong with the driver from v3
if it makes the typical noise then a factory cable is like shooting with a cannon on flys

Good man. Uninstalled and rebooting now. It's been a long time since I've used Windows.
Will update shortly.
Cheers

Try completely powering the device down. IE holding power for 20+ seconds. Give it a minute, then turn it back on with it plugged in.
DO you hear it dinging over and over for like 10 seconds?

I was able to uninstall the device by following b63's advice on items not listed in device manager.
I then rebooted and connected the kindle. It came up with the new hardware alert in my taskbar but that then disappeared and no new hardware is being shown in the device manager. There was no ding ding at any time.
Vashypooh, I held the power button for 20 seconds, the kindle fire turned off. I then booted it back up about a minute or two later. Still no ding.
*sigh*

Computer unable to recognize kindle stuck at Boot logo

I've attempted to install drivers, but it still isn't recognized by fastboot, kindle fire utility, and everything else. I reconnect it to my computer and it just comes up as "Unknown usb device"... It came to be this way because while I was installing TWRP with Kindle fire utility it froze and it's been like that for at least 30 minutes now. I've tried restarting it, resetting it, and nothing is working. Please help!

I love you. No homo, of course. Thanks a ton! This worked great for me. I thought that my kindle was screwed Thanks so much for that!

lol You're welcome. Glad it worked for you

Computer doesn't even recognize that a device is connected...
Okay, I'm not having the same issue, but I'm pretty sure I've completely, irevicalbly, bricked my kindle.
I know that I'm not in Fastboot mode, I've experienced that issue and solved it with the KFU.
Here's what I did:
I used the KFU to root my kindle. That worked fine. I was able to load all the Google apps (which was my initial goal). Then, I got greedy and decided that ICS was my next step - oops.
I followed the instructions on the following site:
androidauthority.com/kindle-fire-miui-4-ics-55853/
Note: I know, I'm an idiot - I should have paid attention to comments! UGH!
After I did this, I now only get the firefirefire logo and that is it. I can't load/reload TWRP and I can't change my bootmode to normal or recovery. The thing is, no matter which computer I plug the device into, the computer won't recognize the device. I get a message saying something "malfunctioned" when I plug it in. I've tried 3 different Windows machines (I've installed/reinstalled drivers I don't know how many times!) and I even tried loading Linux on a spare laptop and that didn't work either.
So, I tried the next thing I could think of. I followed the instructions on the following site:
ramble.karrth.com - Section "Troubleshooting TWRP
which involved removing the back cover, shorting a circuit (to force usbboot) and plugging my Kindle in. This didn't work for me either.
At this point, I'm willing to try anything. I'm not quite sure how to fix this issue. I think my next step is to either order a factory cable or make my own and try that, but if my bootloader is broke (truely broke) will that even work?
Please, if I should post this in another forum/place, just let me know. Any help appreciated!
I should also not that nothing comes up in my device manager. It does come up as a unrecognized USB bit goes away after telling me there was a malfunction (it tries to recognize it twice).

Please don't post the same question in multiple threads... especially ones that have been dead for 4 months. I've replied to the same question as a followup to your other post.

[Q] Black screen, plugged into PC, keeps disconnecting/reconnecting. Bricked to Hell?

Just like the title says. At first when I plugged my Kindle Fire in it showed up as the processor name. I installed the drivers by just using that hoping to get some sort of PC connection.
Im on Windows.
TWRP was messed up and wouldnt boot for me. (when screen worked.)
Had ICS beta. (When screenworked)
Would like to get back to stock.
Could anyone help me out?

maybe out of battery ? charge for an hour with the wall plug (pc loads very slowly)
some more information would be helpful:
what exactly have you done ?
os/bit of your computer ?
do you have newest kfu available ?
if yes please move and rename to c:\kfu (win7 64bit drivers will not install with spaces and it's easier to help cause in the tools folder are all necessary commands)

Usually it charged through the USB port on my computer but currently I put it on the wall charger to see if that would be the problem.
Well the history is this: Rooted 6.2.1, installed ICS, but after messing with TWRP my Kindle Fire arrived at a point where ICS was the ONLY OS, no backup available and TWRP being stuck at the logo not proceeding. I used the KFU to try to install a new TWRP on it but I think that might of messed it up. Im not sure to be honest theres been a lot done on this and its been a week til I had time to resolve my issue.
Windows 7 64bit
EDIT: Btw the green light from the power button never comes on. Ill plug the device in and nothing will happen until I hold the power button down for a while.
It shows up in the device manager, but only for a second to be disconnected, then the cycle repeats constantly.

Bricked to hell....I got a chuckle out of that.... Good luck man, hope you can get it fixed.

Okay. So at this point you are unable to power the device on? Even after charging it off of the wall port? (PC charging my android devices never personally worked for me)
Also have you loaded a custom kernel on? And have you checked if ADB can recognise the device?

Ok, all you have to do if twrp is messed up is to reflash it in fastboot. You can never Really brick a device.... See if you have adb.

[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..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422832

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.

from the op of 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.

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.

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.

Are you able to enter bootloader mode on your phone? (Power on while holding the "volume up" button. If that doesn't work, try pulling the battery and re-inserting it while holding the power and volume up buttons.) Then try connecting to RSD Lite.
If all else fails, you could try using the sbf_flash tool in a linux environment. See here and here for guides.
If you don't have a computer with Linux, you can run it from a usb thumb drive with this. If you haven't used linux before, Ubuntu is probably easiest to use.

That's strange. Does the Bootloader screen say "Battery OK, OK to program, Connect USB Data Cable"? Do you see anything else in RSD Lite besides "Unknown Device"?
You could try using USBDeview on your PC to try to figure out what sort of device your PC thinks your phone is. If the phone is in bootloader mode connected properly, you should see "Motorola Flash Interface" listed under the connected devices, and if you double-click on it, you'll see more information that might help with troubleshooting. What driver version do you see there?
I've attached a screenshot so you can see what it's supposed to look like.

Try in another pc or in a virtual machine of Windows XP, or check in which usb port you're plugging on the cable, in my computer with Windows 8 for example, I have 4 ports on the back of the cpu and 2 on the front, the front ones don't work to use RDSLite but they work for mass storage and debugging without any problems, but for RDSLite I have to use the back ports

Hmm, the safewipe script isn't supposed to touch the recovery partition. Can you get into stock recovery? (Take the battery out, then put it back in while holding the volume down and power buttons at the same time.) If you can get into the stock recovery, do a full factory reset, then try flashing an sbf again.
