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

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.

second - don't use the drivers from kfu - do according:

This helped me get out of a brick 4 times I hope it helps you-

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

[Solved] Stuck on yellow triangle (kfu)

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.

[Q] Kindle Bricked no adb, not recognized

I am stuck with this headache and have stressed my self for hours trying to fix this so now I turn to you guys for help.
My Situation:
I had kindle to 6.2.1 then I rooted it, installed CM7.
after using it for 7+ days there is an update of CM7 by another dev. which had sound in the CM7 so I tried to flash it.
I put it in the SD card and renamed it CM7.zip from Update.zip so I flashed on Custom Recovery to flash the Update.zip later finding out that I renamed it to CM7.zip so I was stuck at Customer recovery bootloop so I enter the command to flash stock recovery to boot as the CM7 required.
so after stock recovery flash on Kindle the Kindle got stuck on the "kindle fire logo"
I think it was stuck in Fastboot.
I tried with KFU and Kindle Fire Unbrick software but the thing is NONE of them detect my kindle
I have tried soo many ways to Get my kindle detected to unbrick it but still no luck
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

BUMP!
Still need help with a bricked kindle

BUMP!
Any1?
Kindle Still Bricked and not working >.<

Have you tried Kindle Fire Utility 0.9 to install the latest drivers? After that install Kindle Fire Unbricking Utility 0.1 to unbrick. If that doesn't work, reply with a detailed explanation of what you're seeing and what you have already tried.
This post has links to both and a good alternative option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21232193
Good luck.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.

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 takeno responsibility or whatsoever.
Good luck sir. Do not give up

First of all, I would like to thank you guys for your help, really appreciate it.
Now, I have tried both of your suggestions and I had no success
I have the latest drivers and everything but still adb doesnt detect it and the KFU says adb status: offline, bootmode: unknown and adb root: No.
in the Kindle Unbrick tool it says error finding device and KFU is stuck on waiting for device.
whenever I connect my kindle fire I dont hear any sound but when I connect my htc sensation it says device ready to use.
I think I will have to contact amazon to get this kindle fire replaced ='(

it looks like you have a driver issue - primarily
this is what has to be corrected first
then we could see what to do
therefor some info about your os would be helpful (os/bit)
what drivers are you using ?
do you have the newest kfu available ?
if yes - moved and renamed to c:\kfu ?

In my case, KFU also stated
status: offline
bootmode: unknown
adb root: No
but it still worked when I tried to change bootmode to 4000.
Also, are you sure your KF is charged enough to start? Try plugging it for a while, then recheck in windows.

I am running Windows 7 64bit on two of my laptops and windows 7 32 bit on my desktop.
the Kindle logo is not glimmering or flashing so it is in fastboot, I know that much.
I have tried the drivers that came with the KFU 0.9.2 (Newest, I believe)
and Yes the Kindle Fire is fully (if not mostly) charged as I had it on the charger for 6 hours last night.
and No I have not placed it or renamed to c:\kfu
I will let you know in a minute about the results

If it keeps saying Waiting for Device then it's not really in fastboot. I had a similar issue and got it solved through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430515
It was stuck in a boot loop and appeared like it was in fastboot, but it would hang up and not respond. You may need to install the fastboot package manually and force it into the right mode. Then you can load TWRP and put it all back together.
If ADB isn't working though, you will need to start by getting that to work. It sounds like a driver issue even though you said you worked on that. You should try the Ubuntu boot method and Firekit to install the fastboot package through ADB. Those are outlined in the link above.

got it ?
if you have a 32 bit machine available that is the better choice cause you don't have to hassle with the 64 bit drivers too
here some information that should clarify the driver things:
in normal boot the device is "android composite adb interface"
in fastboot the device is "android adb interface"
here again all the possible commands to change bootmode:
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
the number is the bootmode you want to switch to:
normal boot -> 4000
fastboot -> 4002
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 !

Still no results
I connected my brother's kindle and the computer immediately recognized it and when I connect mine, it doesnt work! :'(
apparently still having the driver issues :'(
any help?
I have tried the KFU driver and that didnt work

I had a similar problem while trying to install TWRP the first time via KFU except I was stuck at the yellow triangle and not the Kindle Fire screen.
First I replaced run.bat in the KFU folder with the one from this post because my Kindle was 6.2.2. Next I installed the drivers for my uknown device in device manager both by pointing the unknown device to where I saved android_winusb.inf and also ran the install_drivers.bat. I got an error saying they could not install.
Next, I followed the steps here
•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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and when I rebooted my Kindle, it booted normally and appeared as Kindle in Device Manager. So despite KFU not detecting my device, and the drivers giving me problems, I was still able to issue the command in KFU for normal boot mode and held the power button for 30 seconds and it was back to normal. This is on a Windows7 64bit machine. I hope this helps.

Make me the third. Here is my story.
I have lots of rooted and rom'd devices so I'm agreeing that this might be device related and not the drivers? Or maybe specifically the Kindle driver? Since all my other devices work fine.
I bought my kindle and rooted it on day one 6 weeks ago using TWRP. things have been perfect on my KF. I decided to install CM7.1 yesterday morning and it was working great. I just realized I never rebooted it so what Im going to say shortly may have been bound to happen.
So last night I decided to add a google Market update per a link on XDA that stated this can be updated to my current CM7 install. After this my KF just kept going into TWRP automatically. I then decided to load my backup rooted stock room and still my KF just boots into TWRP.
Next I decided to use rootkindlefire's unroot/stock rom to 6.2.1 (drop the bin renamed to update.zip to the SD) and got a TWRP logo screen. I powered off a couple times and now I get a KF logo screen. I tried the 20 second reset and it flashes (Windows XP see the request for a USB device also), but no KF OS loads. Windows is showing Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface but the SDcard does not mount files.
I tried:
Kindle Fire utility and it says: Oops... something went wrong. We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire. Make sure it is plugged in and powered on. Press any key to continue . . .
SuperOneClick 2.1 says device isn not found
SuperOneClick 2.3.3 just sits at * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully *

[SOLVED by Linux method by pokey900] Yellow triangle, pc doesnt detect my kindle fire

Hey everybody.
I have tried all options regarding kindle fire utility and no success.
Here's my story:
I have rooted 6.2.1 firmware. ALl worked fine for the past month. Yesterday went online on my kindle fire for about ah hour. Today I tried to turn my device on and twrp screen appeared (though i didnt hold power button for no second) and started installing updates (updates within twrp). But I was very stupid by holding power button and the device was turned off.
When I tried to turn it on again yellow triangle came on and nothing happens. The PC doesn't recognize my device, kindle utility doesn't help.
SO I think nothing will help until my PC detects the KF. In device manager i see no question marks, KFU cant detect the KF.
Please help me somebody

Your KF can be bootable. First you need to connect your KF to your PC and use a general adb Android Composite driver for Windows to communicate to your KF. Once you are able to communicate I.e
advanced devices and you see the SN of the KF, then follow the instruction given in the fastboot thread available under development ofKF.

Select Devices and Printers.
I don't see that "Select Devices and Printers. "
I try to right-click on my computer-properties-hardware-device manager.
I don't see kindle there, I don't see any question marks.
So, any ideas?

Previously I installed drivers and everything, I gain root access ect, I have TWRP installed. I connected my kindle to PC multiple times without any issues, but...
everything changed yesterday. I guess my device got updated without my knowledge. Amazon is very unfair. They should have implanted an option if people wanted to update automatically or manually, like every Windows or any other OS has got.

Here is what happening now:
I open KFU go to boot mode, then connect my kindle fire and press 1 (normal mode) very fast (it looks like the computer recognizes the device for a couple of seconds only) then triangle disappears and...... I see kindle fire words. I start jumping of joy (for 2 seconds maybe) then the triangle shows up again and nothing happens.
So sad

would try to follow this thread starting at post #2:

My issue was solved via LINUX solution found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
To be short:
1. Download Ubuntu 11.10 - Latest Version (about 700MB)
2. On the same ubuntu website foolow step to to create bootable USB stick and follow the steps provided
3. Download file from the buttom of the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038 and copy it to the root of your bootabel USB.
3. Now boot your pc from USB
4. Now you should be in Linux
5. Now I quote: "When Ubuntu desktop shows up, press the Windows key on your keyboard and type "term". Hit enter to run the terminal.
In the terminal window, type "sudo /cdrom/fk".
You should now have a prompt that says "[email protected]:~/firekit#"
Now the most important part. SInce my pc recognized my kindle fire for 4-5 seconds only I needed to be very quick. SO this is what I did next:
I typed in the terminal "install_fff_twrp_from_stock" and didn't click ENTER.
Then for the first time during this process I connected my kindle to PC, waited one second and then hit enter for the above command to take effect. A couple of seconds was enough and Now I've got working KF.
Thanks to the guy who wrote LINUX SOLUTION, e.g. pokey9000

DO NOT USE KFU ON THE KINDLE FIRE HD 7"
This utility was designed for the original Kindle Fire, not the HD.
If you push it, you WILL Brick (Break) the Kindle Fire 7" HD.
At this point there is only one Bootloader that works on the KFU HD,
that is SafeStrap, although the developer has it on hold at the moment.
Having said this, there is no easy way to upgrade the Kindle Fire HD
to JellyBean - we were able to port over JellyBean but over 50%
of the applications did not work. So, we are at least 1 year away from
posting custom ROM's. Do not try it with SafeStrap, it is a waste of time
at the moment. Sorry........

No worries, I just did not want you to Brick the Kindle.
If you have the original Kindle Fire and not the Kindle Fire 2 then KFU
should see it. Do you have ADB Enabled on the Kindle Fire?
Did you install these USB Drivers: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/usb_driver.zip
If yes, you should see Android Composite ADB Interface in the Windows Device

That is normal since the Kindle uses a high powered USB Charger. You can safely ignore the error.
If you look in the Windows Device Manager, do you see Android Composite ADB Interface?
Download this utility: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/ADB%20Update.zip
Save the ADB Update.zip to your desktop. Unzip ADB Update.zip to ADB Update on your desktop.
The open the folder. While your mouse arrow is hovering over the ADB Update folder, press the Right
Click Mouse Button, Choose "Open a command window here". Windows will open a Command Prompt.
You will be at the root of ADB Update. Type the following commands (pressing Enter after each one):
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
Do you see a serial number after adb devices?

Go to our How to Root the Kindle fire using Windows Noob (Easy Edition.
We have a video I think you will find helpful, it takes you through the entire
process and Yes, it does work on the original Kindle Fire. I can be 99% sure
you have a driver problem. The links to this series is below. Keep us posted.

Check your firmware version. I got a Fire for Christmas and tried to root unsuccessfully until I noticed I was on 10.2 firmware which told me I had a KF2. It is exactly the same in every way except it has a 1.2ghz dual core processor and 1gb RAM instead of a 1ghz dual core and 512mb RAM. Aaaaand it has a locked boot loader. So you can root, but no custom recovery, no custom ROMs. Yet.

LegendaryCatalyst,
Very good point, many think they have a plain old Kindle Fire when indeed they have a Kindle Fire 2 and
if this is true, you can Brick the Kindle Fire 2 when using the KFU Utility on the Kindle Fire 2. The KFU
utility is only designed for the ORIGINAL Kindle Fire, about 6-8 Months old now.
Thank you for the feedeback.
