Help~how can I do to recovery the Kindle fire
I originally posted this in the kindle fire utility thread, but thought I might get faster help here.
Stuck on the yellow triangle after installing twrp using this utility. I have not unplugged the device. It says in tricks to try and hold the button for 20 seconds (the screen says waiting for device to put back into normal boot mode). That didnt work. It then says to check and see that it ISN'T coming up as a kindle in device manager, but doesn't say what to do if it is IS coming up as a kindle in device manager (mine is, kindle with an exclamation point next to it).
I originally had installed drivers to use adb by modifying the USB_init file or something in my android sdk, that was all fine and dandy. Just wanted you to know where my drivers were from (unless this utility over wrote that).
Tried to uninstall kindle in device manager, then turn off device, then turn back on and reinstall google driver, no go, still says no available driver in that folder (still have NOT unplugged the kindle).
Any help would be appreciated. Still plugged in and on the yellow triangle.
Thanks!
Edit: Instead of reinstalling my google drivers after uninstalling, i installed the ones that came with kfu. Idiocy to not try that to begin with. I'll leave this here for any other moron that tries to not use the proper drivers. *NOTE* If it says kindle in your device manager with a exclamation point sign after you hard reset the kindle, try to manually install the drivers in the kindle fire utility drivers folder and then tell it to boot into normal mode!
All you need to do is update your drivers in the .android folder, if it says kindle in device manager right click and choose update drivers. There's no reason to uninstall. This is where following directions and reading how.to.use adb can be very helpful. Do it once do it right. If anyone needs any help feel free to pm me and ill get to you when I can.

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
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:

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.
