I've read other users postings on this but I I haven't seen a thread with my issue. I ran the KUF and went to install TWRP. It said it was rebooting in fast mode. Now when my KF starts, it just says "kindle fire" and does nothing. I saw where other users were able to use KUF to set it back to normal boot mode but I can't get my machine to recognize the KF anymore. Does anyone have any ideas?
I think you need to find a thread about install twrp manually.
The automatic utility fails sometimes because blablabla.
Good luck!
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.

would try:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
or
fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot
I will try those. I found a forum elsewhere that said I had to let the battery drain all the way and that I could change the boot mode back to normal. I only saw this once though. Do you guys have experience with this?
some had success with battery drain others drained so much that they where not able to charge it again
i'm personally not a fan of this method ...

OK... I think I have drained my battery completely and I cannot charge it again. I have connected it the wall outlet and no indicator lights show up
Did I brick my machine completely... does any one know how to get it back
I haven't had an opportunity to see if this method has worked yet, but I've drained the battery pretty far before to the point where indicator lights don't come on. After leaving the device plugged in for 15 - 20 minutes and then trying again it worked. I'm not sure if that will work for everyone but it worked for me.
glad that it is working again ...
please mark the subject of the topic (edit first post) with [Solved]
Sorry, that was in response to balle007. I haven't had an opportunity to normal boot yet. I will be sure to close the thread properly if/when my issue is resolved.
sorry if i was too fast
do you mean that yours is in the status where you can't charge it ?
edit: just reread your first post
did you try to change the bootmode manually ?
open a (elevated) command prompt and cd to the tools folder of kfu (usually c:\kfu\tools)
issue "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" - it should return "kindle"
and issue "adb devices" - you should get sernr. & mode
do you get a response ? to which of the two commands ?
try to issue the corresponding command:
with adb (secure kernel):
adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4000"
adb reboot
or (twrp or unsecure kernel):
adb shell 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
Thanks, b63. I just tried turning my KF back on and now it just flashes "kindle fire" and reboots over and over. I don't know if that has something to do with me draining the battery or not... =/
would look at device manager - is it recognized ?
maybe only for a short time ?
as what ?
Thank you b63. For some reason(maybe a battery issue) my KF is just flashing "kindle fire" when I turn it on. I can't do anything with it now...
It's not being recognized in device manager, no.

Hi, after spending several hours reading this forum Id like to say "you guys helping so many ppl, ure great " and ask for help myself.
I was doing the new root on rootkindlefire.com. After " fastboot -i 0×1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img "and rebooting it stucked on the triangle. My device wasnt been found anymore. I had several trys on reinstalling the driver. But the kindle wasn`t supposed to work with them. Maybe trying this I deletec the working one so I cannot press " previous working driver ".
I felt asleep for 6 hours...
I dont really know what really happened. Maybe it was a frustrated line like "adb reboot " taking my fire in a neverending reboot-loop with the triangle independent of plugging the usb cable to pc or electric socket.
Apart from this my fire doesn`t show any reaction when i unplug the usb cable - It just turns off. I cannot turn it on or smth.
My pc isnt having any time to detect the device. Its not even doing the "pluged-in-sound" " device-couldnt-been-installed-sound" anymore. Any adb on cmd is giving " device not found ". Any fastboot on cmd is giving "waiting for device".
To be clear: My device is restarting every 2-3 sec an shows me the triangle.
I would be incedribly thankful for any help
would suggest to uninstall the old drivers
unplug kf
remove all kindle, adb device
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us
replug (will power on by itself)
use those drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20855280&postcount=54
and set bootmode to normal with kfu or manually:
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
Hi,
thank you for your idea.
But pluging in the device doesnt change anything to the reboot-loop.
I cannot install the hardware the right way so I installed it thourght " legacyhardware" - i dont know whether its a good idea.
So if we assume your way doesn`t stop working here and doing the next step I get by typing adb shell su-c "idme bootmode 4000" :
*daemon not running. starting it now *
* damon started successfully *
error: device not found
I guess i shouldnt continue, but thank you a lot anyway
that is ok !
set the bootmode to normal with kfu or manually:
seems your in fastboot mode
to test it use:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
it should return "kindle"
then:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
or
fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot
btw. have you used the drivers from my first post ?
I tried to add KF thought Legacyhardware. Thats an option in the device manager. I used your driver link for that.
Typing fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product just gives waiting for device, like any other fastboot-command.
PC seems not to be connected to my Fire
I just overall screwed up big time with this thing. I rooted 6.2.1, then uninstalled/froze a bunch of the stock apps (including the default Kindle launcher, as I had Go Launcher installed).
I then decided I wanted to restore to the factory default settings, as I wanted to use Amazon prime, among other things. I went into settings and hit the "restore to factory defaults button" (which was stupid, I know). Unsurprisingly, this resulted in Kindle Fire bootloops.
Trying to fix this, I used the KindleFireTool to install the most recent TWRP...which didn't work at all. It would just stay on the yellow triangle screen. Now, things have gotten even worse, though I don't know why. Whenever I plug the fire into the computer, it goes into TWRP bootloops!
For the brief few seconds that the Fire is on when plugged into my computer, the driver isn't recognized at all (shows up as "kindle" with a triangle next to it in device manager).
I know what I did was dumb, but even so, any help would be hugely appreciated.
YES YES YES!!!! OK HERES HOW I DID IT TO FIX THE BOOTLOOP OF TWRP
First you must download Kindle Fire Utility and extract it to your desktop
then go to command prompt or cmd then type in the location of the folder heres mine for example: C:\Users\Madaran\Desktop\Kindle Fire Utility\tools
then type in fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
For me it said waiting for device all I did is rebooted the device and it worked
as the device reboot it will still go back to TWRP now type this in the command prompt
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
then it should reboot again and ITS FIXED
----------------------------------
I used this thread to fix it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428715
Thank you so much! I'll post results when I get the opportunity.
Well it didn't work...the thing isn't connecting to the computer properly. I think it's a goner.
Mine didn't connect also but it still worked. You don't need the device to be connected just plug it in and put it in the TWRP recover mode. Then do the steps again.
1.Download Kindle Fire Utility
2.Extract it to desktop.
3.You can't connect it while its in FastBoot mode so open up CMD or Command Prompt.
4.Again locate the folder and type it in the CMD for example I typed:
"cd C:\Users\Madaran\Desktop\Kindle Fire Utility\tools"
5.Then type this in "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000"
6.It should say waiting for device. Go to TWRP and hit reboot system.
7.It should work now and while waiting for your Kindle to boot up, the power button should be orange.
8.When it turned orange I immediately typed this in the CMD or Command Prompt
"fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000" so it wouldn't boot to the TWRP recovery menu.
9.It should reboot again and load up your CyanogenMod 7
10. If it work hit the thanks button please.
I did all of that up until step 6. My device won't allow me to reboot. When it's plugged in via USB, it boots up, dies within 20 seconds, then boots again. I can't break the cycle, and it just says waiting for device on and on...

It maybe your battery its low. Try to charge it and connect it again.
Definitely worth a shot
You were right! It was a battery issue

Hey guys... I kinda bricked my Kindle... I tried all the steps mentioned above. My Kindle boots but it freezes on the Kindle Fire Boot Screen. It does not load the home screen of Kindle with Shelf.
Please help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428428
Not quite sure what i did 0_o. I used the kindle fire utility to install permanent root. It rebooted and allwas well. Then i used the program to tell it to boot into fastboot mode. when I did this now it just loops between the Triangle and TWRP. Im guessing not screwed...i just dont know what to do next to fix it lol. I tried the brick fixer program. it just reboots the kindle fire and then it does the same thing over and over.
Try hooting into TWRP and telling it to reboot in normal mode.. using KFU of course lol.
I'm in the same boat...however, I figured out how to get it to stop and stay at the Triangle (fastboot mode)
I typed "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" into the Command Prompt Window on my computer. It then said <waiting for device>
I forced the Kindle off with the 20-sec press, then unplugged and re-plugged it into the computer.
Now I just have to figure out how to get the fastboot mode to give me access to the USB, or to get ADB working on this sucker. I'm trying to get a ROM over to the Kindle's internal memory so I can save it's life!
Hopefully this will give you a launching place, too. Oh, and using the Kindle Fire Utility will then work as long as it's in the triangle screen, but every step I've used with it so far just puts me back into the FireFireFire / TWRP loop.
Hey guys thanks for the response. shortly after I posted this I went into the kindlefire irc channel and they helped me out. somehow the stock rom i was on corrupted itself and even when i did
adb shell
su
idme bootmode 4000
reboot
It still wasnt fixed. So the solution was to flash that modaco rom thats here and then run the adb command again. Viola. Working Kindle Fire . Now if i can just figure out how to make the stupid wallpapers stop auto cycling lol.

would try to boot to twrp, tap the mount button and mount sdcard
now you should be able to copy a rom to sdcard and install it
to force it to boot to recovery issue: "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001" and "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot"
if it says <waiting for device> just cold restart the kf - the command should be picked up and finished
don't forget to switch back to normal boot after installation: "adb shell idme bootmode 4000" and "adb reboot"
maybe this could also help you:
driver (under android phone):
normal & recovery boot: -> android composite adb interface

or:
fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot

fastboot reboot
the number is the bootmode you want to switch to:
normal boot -> 4000

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 !

my kindle fire is stuck on the Kindle Fire screen, with no animation.
i have looked through XDA but could not find anything with my problem.
i do not have TWRP or FFF.
I'm running the stock rom.
kindle is not recognized on ADB.
i uninstalled the driver, but now computer management doesn't have anything for the device listed.
i used the kindle fire utility to install the drivers, still not listed on computer management.
it is recognized in the bottom right as plugged in as a 'android adb interface'
i have tried using the kindle unbrick utility, but it says there is no device plugged in.
EDIT:
i restarted my computer. now the kindle is listed as unknown device in the bottom right and in computer management.
i am still unable to install new driver software on it, though.
EDIT:
I tried using the driver from the .android download, it says that it's not going to work.
if someone could help me, please, it would be great.
EDIT::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
UPDATE TO THE PROBLEM::::
the kindle is still in the kindle fire boot screen brick.
it went from being an 'unidentified device' to being 'android adb interface'
the error code has switched from code 43 to code 10.
it says Device Cannot start (code 10)
it is not recognized by ADB
unbrick utility still doesn't recognize.
neither does kindle fire utitlity.

that means:
your kf seems to be in fastboot mode -> adb commands not working
the question is what have you done to come to this situation ?
you can:
- try to switch to normal bootmode
- or try to install fff & twrp (this is done in fastboot mode)
switch to normal boot:
use kfu option 1 - bootmode normal or manually (see above)
when it says <waiting for device> power off the kf by holding the pwr button for ~20sec till it turns off - pwr on again - the command should be resumed and finished - another pwr off/on should bring you back
install fff & twrp:

Thanks so much I was having this same problem and have been bashing my head against the wall all day. This kind of thing is a little above my paygrade but I'm learning quickly!
It is stuck at the picture of yellow fire icon, with a phase press power button for recovery at the bottom...... but no matter how many times i press the power button, it does not respond..............helphelphelp.....
Try holding the power button for about 20 seconds, that should reset it. You can also try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356257
Did you install a recovery yet? if so, try spam pressing the power button to get into it. From there you should be able to mount usb and install a rom
The kindle fire has several boot modes, one being a fastboot mode where it will stay at the bootloader until fastboot issues a command to change the boot mode. The command would be...
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000 && fastboot reboot
not trying to be an ass but i wish people would learn some of the basics before jumping in head first into things they don't really understand then posting basic questions in the development section of forums
But my PC now cannot recognize my fire which is recognized as unknown device. Every time I tried to use adb shell, it said device is not found.....oh my god.....
And I have tried to hold the power button for more than 20s but it doesn't seem work.....
In fact I have installed TWRP once. However, when I am accidentally installing the TWRP twice, the fire is then stuck at the yellow triangle "FIRE" logo...and with a phase press power button for recovery at the bottom.
OH MY GOD....the Fire is my mum's ..... she is going to kill me

not using adb shell??!! then how can I use the command????
You might also need to use the -i switch. So the command would look something like...

I solved it! it very easy:
1- plug your device to your PC while it is on fire icon
2- open "Kindle Fire Utility" and then press 5
3- done!
I was so scared that I had lost my kindle. I write this for others so hopefully will be helpful for them.
