[Q] Stuck at triangle screen

Got the triangle screen and following instructions in guides are not fixing it. Heres my scenario. I got my kindle with 6.2 on it. Got it rooted, installed market and go launcher and was great. Then the update of course came thru and broke root. Still been able to download market apps and use go launcher. So I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417284
to regain root and install twrp. It says root is successful, but superuser force closes everytime trying to open or use it. I can open my tibu and root explorer and everything still gave me root access. Went and changed the MarketIntentProxy.apk to MarketIntentProxy.apk.bak so market links go to market by default. That worked. Noticed that all amazon apps downloaded have a default amazon icon. Thought nothing of it. Went to install twrp anyway. Stuck at triangle now. Followed all instructions to fix and the KFU keeps flashing error device not found constantly and boot status unknown. Not showing up in my devices but I can eject via the safely remove hardware program. What happened? Did everything as guide states and watched the videos as I was doing each step.

you have to update the drivers by right click in device manager (some have to this up to 4 times)
to change the bootmode you can use kfu or do it 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
this is also sometimes helpful:
power down kf by longpress the powerbutton then replug it without powering on before - will do it by itself
then i would suggest to reroot with kfu but take care - if you allready have burritoroot on your device you have to delete it before retrying

I can't update driver any longer because it doesn't show in my devices. I will try the adb method since I can't install fastboot.

maybe this helps:
power down kf (long press pwr) disconnect

remove all regarding adb & kindle & restart comp
then reconnect without powering on - will do itself

No that did not work either. I have let my tech geek who has a linux based system try to unbrick it. Hopefully he can get his system to talk to the kindle since my windows cant. Thanks for trying to help.

[Q] Bootloop in TWRP + bricked device...

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.

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...

You were right! It was a battery issue

[Q] Help installing TWRP (won't start)

As a disclaimer, I've searched for this question, but have only found when the question is asked as a much broader topic and goes unanswered.
That being said, I can't seem to get TWRP 2.0 installed through using "fastboot boot", the Kindle Fire Utility, or the technique using dd to rewrite the contents of the parttitions.
The closest I've come is getting FIREFIREFIRE to start up using the "dd" technique, but TWRP still will not start when I hit the power button for recovery. And yes, I did use "dd" on the TWRP image file as well.
Also, I even tried using fastboot to flash u-boot.bin onto the bootloader partition, and twrp onto the recovery partition. Still, I can get to the yellow, but no further into starting TWRP.
Any help would be appreciated. At current time, I have the stock bootloader and recovery partitions on the Fire and it is rooted.
Thanks.

maybe your in fastboot mode and hopefully your drivers are installed correctly you can use:
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
this should bring you to normal bootmode

I've tried that in case there was an issue. In fact, if I don't press the power button during the yellow triangle, the Kindle Fire OS will start as normal after 10-15 seconds. So, it looks like the bootloader is working right and I'm in the correct bootmode. But, if I hold down the power on the yellow triangle (which is supposed to start TWRP), I just get stuck and nothing starts.
That being said, I think I'm in the correct bootmode.

if i don't remember wrong there is an issue with installing twrp with dd
i think you could retry the installation or simply use KFU (but don't use the drivers of kfu if you have working ones)

Thanks.. I'll give it another shot tonight, and then.

when the device starts and the Triangle appears, are you just pressing the power button once? or are you pressing it until it turns orange?
I have to press it a few times before it changes color to orange and then just let it alone. A long press doesn't work for me.

I can get it to turn orange. I think the long press worked for me on that one. Though, I do know I did the multiple presses as well and didn't get any further.
Is it possible that it might be goofed up because I used SuperOneClick for the original root on 6.2 instead of KFU?

not possible - had the same - rooted with superoneclick on 6.2 then updated
i think your twrp install failed - would retry

I finally figured out my problem. For whatever reason (which is still unknown to me), the Kindle Fire Utility was not able to properly download the twrp.img. The file that was downloaded was 8K (which I'm guessing was some sort of error web page). Anyway, I went straight to teamw.in and downloaded the latest version that clocked in at around 10MB, installed it via the "fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp.img" command and all is well now.
If anybody is having similar problems, you might want to check the size of the twrp.img file. 10M = good, 8K = bad.

It turns orange the second it starts booting recovery. That's when you should let go. Holding the power button for ~30 seconds for any reason is a hard signal to the PMIC chip to power off.

good that it works again ...

[SOLVED] "bricked" kindle stuck at recovery page

I have rooted a few phones and even two kindle fires but I messed up my fathers.. Rooting went fine, I was able to install the google framework and vending.apk.
On reboot kindle fire logo kept repeating.
Where I think I went wrong wrong was changing the permissions on vending.apk I might have changed permission on system/apps.. I ran the unbrick application but didn't know what the right issue so I ended up going a little hog wild trying "stuck at logo", "recovery" and "modded system/application"
now it only boots to press power for recovery page.
It is correct that I need to get adb shell working to have a shot here? I decided (a little to late) to slow it down but the shell didn't seem to be working at the point I stopped..

the kf is in fastboot mode - adb ist'n working in this mode
what tells your device manager? it should be "android adb interface" under "android phones" - if not update your drivers
then you can issue:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
if it says <waiting for device> to the first command let the command open and power off the kf by holding pwr button ~20sec - power on again - the command should be picked up and finished - pwr off/on again

Thanks... Will try this in a few hours when I get home

Thanks... After that I was able to get the ADB shell and find the issue with my permissions...

glad to help ...

[Solved] Stuck at Yellow Fire Triangle ***Ubuntu***

Hey guys I rooted my Kindle Fire with no problems.
Then I went on to what you guys know will follow after a root.
Flashing a custom recovery so that I can install a rom.
Well I followed this guide here:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12363-how-to-windows-install-twrp-20-on-your-kindle-fire/
Yes I had the recovery in the same folder etc...
After I typed the following:
adb shell
idme bootmode 4002
exit
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
I got stuck at the Yellow Fire Triangle
I pulled open the case and unplugged the battery.
Even after that it boots right into the Fire Triangle.
I am using Ubuntu Linux.
Can anyone help me get out of this situation. Or does anyone know what I did wrong?
I herd about the kindle fire utility but im running Ubuntu not windows.
thanks guys

Plug it in and type
Fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA

It says <waiting for device>
And nothing happens

I don't know if it helps but before it booted into that mode the vendor id on the usb was 1949.
Now the vedor id is 18D1
I'm not sure if that helps but that's what I have.
Thanks

Try running fastboot as root.

issue "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000"
if it says <waiting for device> power it off by holding the pwr button for ~20sec till it turns of - pwr on again - the command should resume and finish
a second pwr off/on will bring you back to normal

I got it working last night. The problem was that it did flash a recovery it just wouldn't boot into recovery for some reason. I kept click and holding the power button until it finally rebooted into normal mode.
Then Instead of using twrp recovery I flashed cwm and installed ICS.
Thank you all for helping me.
