Hello, I am new to XDA as being a member. This is my first post, and I promise I have spent at least an hour looking for similar threads to no avail.
Now to explain my problem,
Last night I rooted my kindle again after the 6.3 update that destroyed my last root. I used the Kindle Fire utility 9.5 by Vashypoo, and selected install permanent root with superuser.
As I discovered after this, I needed to get team win recovery before getting 6.3, so the KFU installed it for me, and it backed up my data before continuing with the rest of the root. After it said complete, I booted up my kindle, to find a yellow triangle and in a couple seconds, i got sent to this page automatically that I know now is the team win main menu. Every time I boot up my kindle, I get sent to the team win main page. I saw on a video by Nat3mil that the reason this was happening was because my kindle was automatically booting in recovery, so I tried to use kindle's bootmode menu to change the bootmode back to normal (4000) whenever I try, I get a message saying "The system cannot find the drive specified", and it would stop doing anything. I tried to manually set the bootmode back to normal by using command lines from a forum here on xda, similar to my problem, HOWEVER, whenever I try to connect my kindle to the pc, 9 out of ten times, my computer doesnt even recognize my kindle is connected, and when it does, it installs software, KFU says adb is online, and STILL whenever I try using KFU, command lines, or the Kindle Unbrick utility, it says "waiting for device". I literally cannot do a thing without help.... So to sum up, my problem is that I cannot connect my kindle to the computer, and second, I don't know what else to try... I really need help, and I have been doing tons of research (over six hours) to no avail, or progress.
Thank you for your time, and I hope that someone can help me.
Read this guide. It will give you an idea of what your problem is and what you are doing wrong. Its lengthy but worth it if you want do much with your Kindle, like installing recovery.

your on the right path When you get it to say waiting for device hold the power button to shut the kindle off and then turn it back on and it will connect during boot up

You see, I already read this in my expansive research. It doesnt exactly help, My computer does not recognize my device. I have manually installed the driver multiple times, my problem is not ignorance... But the thread was a bit helpful with less knowledgeable people such as myself. I do however have MUCH more experience with a lot of this than I let on by my passage above. Thank you for answering, but do you know what to do in my case? This is not a repeated thread, because I have seen nothing like this on a previous thread

You have to get it to how you had it to say waiting for device... reinstall the drivers, reboot comp what ever you have to do than do what i posted... you can even open a command promp from the KFU tools folder by going to tools hold shift and right click... open command than type..
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
It happens randomly, You see, another problem I have been having is that, My kindle has no problem connecting to the computer, in device manager, I have adb interface up and running, my kindle connected, but it isnt useable, it says my adb is offline, and whenever that happens, I cannot do a thing... There is no tred whatsoever as to how to get adb working, as it happens at random tries of me installing the drivers, and restarting my comp/kindle, do you have any idea how to get it working? Thanks by the way, You literally are a lifesaver.

Hello.
I write to you because I have a big problem with mi LG G2 D802.
Yesterday I tried to install a CRM apk to use in a signature of the University. I was using CM11, but the apk had failed. So, I restored my ROM STOCK backup and when the phone start, a new update was downloaded and installed. Then, the phone only enter in recovery mode. I tried the different wipes, restore again ROM Stock, install again CM11 ROM but the problem was not solved.
I tried to enter in bootleader (pushing vol+ and insert the usb cable), but the phone reboot in recovery.
Now, I don´t know why, the phone is empty. I tried to restore ROM Stock backup from USB OTG but the recovery don´t recognizes the folders.
Please, can anybody help me? I need the pone!
Thanks.
Regards,
Nicolas.

Please post in correct forum. G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see many people having issues that are new to this kind of thing and here is a fairly simple troubleshooting guide that I have compiled that I think will help many of you get through rooting, Installing the Market, and installing twrp with no problems. This is a complete video walk through for those of you find the videos easier. I recommend that you watch the videos thoroughly before attempting this so that you can be sure that you make no mistakes…!!!
• Start off with a stock Kindle on original 6.2.1fw
• Go to this link for a video walkthrough to root the Kindle with Jcase’s Burrito root. All of the links are in the description of this video to do so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KapnjR89ICA
• Now to install the android Market this is another video walkthrough that is from the same person once again all of the links are in the video description for downloading what it is that you need to perform this action http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...tion_598718&src_vid=KapnjR89ICA&v=rTkegVrnAvA
• Now to install a custom recovery (aka twrp2.0) this is also another video walkthrough also made from the same individual. Once again all of the files needed are in the video description http://www.youtube.com/watch?annota...&src_vid=KapnjR89ICA&feature=iv&v=JqKZLMaRSgc
• I have noticed that some people have problems getting stuck around 2:32 into the video where twrp is downloading and getting ready to install. If this happens to you and it is constantly “waiting for device” You may need to hit disconnect on your KF and run burrito root on your Kindle again, click “agree”,then click “You Rock”, Then click “root”. Once you do so you must re-open adb shell by opening a command prompt and typing the following:
cd c:\KindleADB to get into adb shell
adb devices to make sure your kindle is connected properly
adb root to get proper permissions
• Once you have done this re-open the run bat in KFU v0.9.1 and select option 5 again and it will install the twrp with proper root permissions.
• I have also noticed that some people also get stuck at 3:55 in this video at the firefire triangle. The fix for this is fairly easy and is explained in the video if you need a walkthrough step by step for doing this (Updating the drivers)here you go:
- Go to start Menu and right click on computer, Click manage
- In computer Management hit device manager
- I am guessing that you see your kindle connected in there with a yellow ! by it
- Right click on kindle and update driver software
- Click Browse my computer for driver software
- Click let me pick from the list of device drivers on my comp
- Click Next
- Click Have Disk
- Click Browse
- Navigate to your user folder in that window/ or wherever your .android folder is
- Double click on .android folder
- Double click on Driver Folder
- Now Click open
- Now click ok
- Click Next
- ClickInstall driver software anyway
• If you also need a link for installing cm7 here is another video to do so also by the same individual. I do not recommend this as of yet until all of the bugs are worked out in this as I have heard many people have had problems with video playback or sound (mainly in ics) and usually end up flashing back to a custom rom anyway. It is your device though so it is completely up to you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...tion_828059&v=L-zTJWY3CRc&src_vid=JqKZLMaRSgc
UPDATE JANUARY 3rd 2012
• Here is a link for a newer rom install called MIUI. This Rom is very smooth and the only thing confirmed not working at the moment (January 2, 2012 is video playback. There are however some individuals working on this issue and will hopefully have video working soon. Thanks to leeech for the MIUI port and nat3mil for the video. Here is the link for the easy to follow video tutorial.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=OqiX-If5w_4&NR=1
• Here is link on how to resize your internal storage (aka custom partitioning). This is called FireParted made by eldarerathis. This is good for those of you that think that they have too much storage in one place and not enough in another. Playing with partitions can cause you to lose data that is not backed up previously to editing partitions, so use at your own risk. I myself am going to use this to expand the storage on my sd card. Here is the easy to follow video tutorial.

Big thanks for every one of these videos, made by nat3mil. So be sure to thank him and subscribe to his channel for all the latest easy to follow videos!

Update January 7th 2012 This is a program to fix boot loop Problems easily (For Windows Only)
I noticed that many people are still having problems with getting stuck in a recovery boot loop, firefirefire boot loop (Yellow Triangle), Or even the kindle fire boot loop. This is a program to fix it automatically like the kindle fire Utility. I believe that it was made by Zombiepiratez, and he made this to change all of the headaches that many people are having with bootloop problems, proper file permission problems, and bricking problems, so be sure to thank him if this helps you. Once again this is a batch file made only for windows so for those of you that are not on windows, I will leave the common manual fixes below. Here is the link to his thread and download for the Fire Utility Unbrick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428428
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have also heard of the problem with some people getting caught in a boot loop and see a constant Kindle Fire boot screen. To fix this you must open up your cmd and type:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also for people getting caught in a recovery boot (whenever they turn on their kindle they boot into recovery without hitting the power button do this in your cmd:
adb shell
su
idme bootmode 4000
reboot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope that this clears up a lot of confusion for some of you weary of trying to do this to your kindle fire. I did all of this manually with my first Kindle. I have also used this method to be sure that it works and any problems that might come about when using this method and I have confirmed this to be successful. I really wanted to post this guide because I know that it is easier for some of you people new to this to follow along with a video. I know that some people say well there are a lot of tutorials out there but not one with a step by step and video links for a walk-through to do this whole procedure. If a mod could please sticky this I am sure that many would be greatful!!!
Remember that there is a thanks button…
DO not forget those who made this all possible:
Thanks to Jcase for Burrito Root & Vashypooh For KFU v.0.9.1 I would recommend that any of you that enjoy this and would like to see more mods such as these come out, to donate to these devs..
Thanks for the post. Really helped me out. Now that I have twrp 2.0 installed...
1.) how do I make a back up file (in case something happens when i try to flash a rom) so i can restore and recover to where i am at now
2.) once i do make a back up file, where is it saved and how would i access it, if i wanted to recover and restore.
3.) when i rooted my phone and flashed a new rom i had to use titanium back up to save all my apps and information. if i wanted to flash cm7, do i need to install titanium back up and do the same thing as i did on my phone or is the sd card untouched during the flashing process and all apps will remain?
Thanks
I was worried about doing this but now that I read your guide and seen the videos I am going to give this a try when I get settled in. Thank You!
I got a question as well
After installing the twrp2.0, what will happen to my Kindle? Does that mean the device is already rooted and good to go?
If I don't install the cm7, what can I do with the rooted KF?
You have to root the kindle before you can install the TWRP. the twrp 2.0 is used when you want to flash a rom and a few other things, (i think) you wont be able to install the twrp with out rooting first

I do believe that how to make a backup is on the install twrp2.0 video (the third one). I do not believe that you will have to install titanium backup like you do on your phone. I also do not believe that the sd card gets touched in the flashing process...

If you follow this guide in the order which was given everything will work out great after the first video your kindle will be Rooted. Twrp is really for creating a backup of your kindle in the current state and flashing different roms such as cm7 or ics... There are many things that you can do with a rooted Kindle really too many to name. You can run different market for starters which will give you more of a selection than what amazon has to offer. I did not mean to sound as if cm7 is not a good thing to use it is just not as stable as it could be and ics is still in the process of being worked on. I will be flashing to a different rom myself such as cm7 or cm9 or ics once they are stable with little or no bugs...
Awesome! Thanks again. I should be all set. one last question and I promise I am done bugging. if you install cm7 rom will you still get OTA updates that amazon sends out. I know on the most recent OTA update, it unrooted the kindle. As of now i am just rooted with go launcher running and i dont feel like trying to reroot if another update comes out. so if i flash to cm7 will i still receive these updates? I know this is the wrong thread for this but just thought you might know.
Thanks again for your help.. definite sticky

From what I understand if you are on a different rom such as cm7 you will not recieve a ota update, i could be wrong so do not quote me on that. I have however heard of people installing a modified 6.2.1 update that will help them update from the old fw to the previous one, so for them to have not gotten the update they must have either been using cm7 or turned their wifi off completely until they found a sure fix. Do a little searching on older threads you might find something when you do post back to this thread but make sure that you are sure that it does work as I would not like to have any mis-information in this thread... Thanks

Edited the quote for my own amusement.
What all do you use your KF for? I use mine while at work to keep from lugging my Mac around. Also for the occasional updates (socialnetworking=SN) and emailing.
Another question I would like to know is the types of differences there are when running alternatives in the ROM Dept.....fluid transitions, non changing wallpapers, and the like?
Can't give you a thanks yet because of low post count, but this is exactly the sort of thing someone needed to do.
I got home at 8:00 this morning and took a nap. I could not even sleep because I was so anxious to do this to my Kindle Fire, so I decided to get up from 2 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours and give this a shot. This was by far the best guide that I have seen to rooting the Kindle and I pulled it all off flawlessly. Thank you so much for posting this. I did have a few issues when trying to download the recovery file through Kindle Fire Utility, but I followed the guide to a tee and it worked for me perfectly!
I would thank you but I do not have enough posts to do so I hope that this thread gets pinned just in case I have some friends that need a sure fire way to do what I am about to show off to them.
Got my Kindle Fire Stuck in a bootloop.
This thread helped me a lot, now it's fixed!
Thanks a lot!
guides and explanations
Its good to see your hints, because all those really awsome videos have their traps and you can easily get trapped on it, as i did and i had a hard time to find the right way.
My secret for this is to fully understand why you have to do this and that, and here all the guides lack, because there is no explanation WHY you have to do this.
This needs more love. I was successful, because i know from my old background how a chmod works, why i had to install the drivers again and so on but it really took me a while to get this all done, because i didnt read this thread in time.
I also understand that developers are excited about their custom roms and the cyanogenMod, but really who wants to have a kindle fire without sound and a mod with so many bugs ?
I am so happy to have my kindle fire rerooted again after the latest update without opening it or using a special cable.
So this all works quite well, but the guides really need some more explanations to get a deeper understanding about what we are doing here.
I am still working on that, to learn the details.
I want to say a big thank you to all who invested their free time and to spread the knowledge about this awsome device and make the kindle fire a really usefull tablet.
Please keep on the good work ! And have fun with a fully rooted device. There are so many possibilities now !

I am glad to see that you got through this flawlessly. This thread was made just for that very reason to help the lesser experienced user with any issues they might encounter without having to post threads that may get lost in all of the other "Help Me" threads...
If there is a mod that could please sticky this thread I do believe this will answer many questions for individuals and help new users pull off a flawless root, recovery, etc...
+1 on stickying this thread. I have just been pointing people having the same basic problems here. This thread (especially the OP) seems to be helping a lot of people who need help "filling in the blanks".
Good job [-_-]!
I have also directed many of my friends to this thread and they have also gotten through their minor problems. It is kind of funny because a lot of my friends tell me I think my kindle is bricked I just laugh say I doubt it and send them here. Can you also make a guide about going from cm7 back to a the amazon rom please. I put cm7 on my kindle and did not like it so I flashed badk and hit reboot and now I just keep booting up in recovery is there a way to get out of that?

Yes this will work...
1.Plug in USB cable to Kindle Fire on TWRP Recovery mode.
2.Bring up Command Prompt.
3.Key in adb shell.
4.Key in idme bootmode 4000.
5.Finally, key in reboot.
There you go..!!!
Great tutorial setup. Rooted, installed Android Market as mentioned without any issues. Have not installed the Recovery yet though.
Thanks for this thread.
How's it going everyone. I just want to thank everyone for all their help and for putting up with me the past few days. I've been bugging everyone with question after question on how to root my kindle. When I first got my Kindle I knew I wanted to root it and have access to the android market and eventually flash some new roms so I hoped right over to the XDA site. When I got on the site, I was a little overwhelmed with all the information out there on what to do and how to get started. I was reading things like the Burrito root, utility, twrp, ect...
Well, I thought I'd try and help anyone who is in the same boat I was in. I was finally able to root my kindle last night with the help Jayceooi.
The steps that I took and the steps that might be easiest for people new to rooting:
I used the Kindle Fire Utility v.9.1 to root my device, install twrp (which is used if you want to back up your system, flash a rom, restore back to stock, ect.. its recommended to install), and install the android market and go launcher. My thanks goes out to the Jcase and Vashypooh.
1.) Before you try and use the KFU v.9.1 make sure you have the ADB driver installed (properly) and is running when the kindle is connected to the PC
I used Jayceooi's and adb driver file link (not the one that comes in the KFU zip) to install my driver. On his guide he states - "Why not use install driver feature in Kindle Fire Utility? There is an issue on Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.1. It will replace Kindle Fire USB Mass Storage driver. So you can’t use USB Mass Storage mode anymore if you install driver with Kindle Fire Utility." (Might be why alot of people are having problems trying to root)
2.) Once the driver is installed, then run the KFU v.9.1 and selection option 3. Hit enter and the utility does the rest.
3.) Intall TWRP - plug kindle back in and run KFU v.9.1 and selection option 5. Hit enter again and the utility will do most of the work. Make sure you read everything during the installation and wait until you hit reboot and see the yellow triangle before you press a key to continue. (watch the video in the link below and you will see what I mean.)
4.) Next I installed the android market, google apps, go launcher from the Utility too. Like i said, that utility is tits! run the utility again and select option 6 (extras) then 2 and it will do the rest.
This may be a redundant thread and get pushed out and I know a lot of the experienced guys might laugh at how lame, but If I had something like this to follow it would have really helped me out and saved alot of time. The guide that Jayceooi does is really nice and easy to follow.
I think the the installation of the correct driver is the biggest thing and what causes the most problems for people. so if you get that right, you should be in good shape. just follow the guides and it shouldn't be to hard
Step 1.) Install Kindle Fire ADB usb driver - http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/29/how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver-video/
Step 2.) Root kindle - http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/29/how-to-root-kindle-fire-with-burritoroot-video/
Step 3.) Install TWRP - http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/29/how-to-install-twrp-2-0-recovery-on-kindle-fire-video/

Thanks a lot!
This is surely helpful for a newbie like myself
I hope it helps... from jumping from thread to thread in this forum, the biggest issue i was seeing the most was getting the correct driver to install. just make sure you get that step down and it should be pretty easy... knock on wood

I hope it helps... from jumping from thread to thread in this forum, the biggest issue i was seeing the most was getting the correct driver to install. just make sure you get that step down and it should be pretty easy... knock on wood

I'm not really a noob per-say, been around a good while actually. But your point in this post about the correct driver and you bringing everything together for a very easy to follow guide really did help. Thanks!
I actually had a weird issue where I wasn't seeing a yellow triangle for the ADB driver and just couldn't get root to take. Updating it did the trick (It needs to say 'Android Composite ADB Interface')
Yay! My backup just finished and I'm not stuck with a yellow sign. Success.
just got my KF today and I'll try this out tomorrow when i can get to my friends windows computer (virtualbox on my Mac doesnt like me.....)

You should be able to use the KFU to install the android market. once your plug the kindle into the pc and the driver is installed properly, run KFU v.9.1 Select option 6 (extras) then select option 2 (Google apps / go launcher) KFU should do the rest. If you want to manually downloand use this link http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...t=Click Here&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13252517466081
for some reason my Mac wont recognize my KF and my VirtualBox Windows won't either so i have to wait for a bit....
EDIT: nevermind
next issue, whenever i go into the Devices and Printers menu and then to the Kindle and into Properties, it only lists USB Composite Device. Could this be because i am trying to do this on an Windows 7 VirtualBox setup and not through a true W7 computer?

Glad it helped. Jayceooi did an awesome job. Like i said before, if you get the driver installed correctly the rest is a piece of cake

the driver was annoying cuz i tried to do it through a VirtualBox virtual machine but when i would plug it into my MacbookPro, i would have to unmount it from there and then it wouldnt recognize it properly in the Windows VM so i had to wait to get to a friends computer but it"s all good now

stuck at triangle
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 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 device status unknown. What happened?
My kindle is bricked and I have tried everything.
This is what i did: I rooted it, installed CM7, it worked fine. I then wanted to go back to the stock rom (due to countless FCs and freezing in CM) so i flashed the stock rom through TWRP. When i re-booted, the TWRP recovery screen no longer shows and it has the stock kindle fire logo on screen.
It does not show up in device manager in windows, I have re-installed the usb drivers multiple times. Any recovery methods using ADB simply result in "waiting for device" forever.
I have tried:
hard reset
fastboot commands
booting to linux live cd with firekit
kindle fire unbrick utility
None of these work because it does connect via usb
Anyone else have this problem>?
EDIT: Im fed up, ive tried every method on XDA and youtube, nothing works. I convinced amazon to replace it. Thanks anyways.

If you notice, that uses ADB shell. All of these commands result in "waiting for device" as it it not detected as a USB device
Sorry forgot to attach
Ok dont worry ive gotten my self into the same issue and lots of other ones lol
I just kept on trying different things.
it will be a driver issue Ill try to find the thread that got me out of it

I bricked mine last night and kept getting stuck at "waiting for device" and figured out Windows ceases to recognize it as something it has a driver for.
Windows Device Manager showed the Kindle with a yellow sign next to it. I right clicked and updated the driver but rather than detecting it at all I manually picked a device.
Don't have Windows in front of me right now but it was something like "Android Phone" for the device type and then the device was the first one listed "ADB Interface" or something starting with ADB anyway.
Once that driver was loaded I could issue ADB commands again and got it fixed.

Please do the KF rooting community a favor when you get your new kindle and stay away from rooting it. You obviosuly cant take the time to fix your own problems and would rather give amazon another reason to hate root users.

Well considering he already convinced amazon to send him a new one its a little too late, and others have already weighed in to help, its not very nice but its the truth. If he would have just waited more than an hour for people to try and help him he would probably have been able to fix it.
Jus a quick servh would give you the answers you're looking for. It's not bricked. So relax

Hey, quick question. I'm having similar issues and want to just call it a day.
When you convinced Amazon to replace it, did you tell them it was rooted/modified? Also, are they shipping you a new one just like that? Or do you have to send yours back first. Thanks! A response would be very much appreciated.
i had an issue last night and spent seven hours between dos and reading forums and couldn't find the answer, but at 630 this morning i got it and retested it today again by rebricking it and fixing it and it has to be the easiest thing that i've ever done.
unplug your kindle
turn your computer off
turn off your kindle with a hard reset
turn the computer back on and plug the kindle in
turn the kindle back on
in kindle utilities hit 1 and press enter
then hit 1 and press enter
it should go to reset your kindle and say it's done and to press any button to continue but don't press anything until your kindle is back on the splash menu
it worked for me when i couldn't find anything else to do and is way to simple to not try, so i hope it helps someone else

This is exactly what happened. Because it didn't have the TWRP recovery screen or anything, any average tech support person wouldnt be able to tell it had been rooted. The failure actually happened after installing the stock rom so im pretty sure if they even take the time to inspect it, they wil see an unused, unrooted stock rom on the devoce

Thanks, but this only works if it connects over usb. Doing this results in "waiting for device" as mentioned before
Okay,I've read everything on this topic. I've tried almost everything (except using the factory cable). If you can help me fix this I will paypal you (or the charity of your choice) the $25 dollars I would've spent on a factory cable.
I just want to know if I'm missing anything before I try and make or buy a cable.
My Problem:
I rooted my Kindle fire 6.3 using KFU, everything went flawlessly
(This is when I should've stopped, enjoyed my new root, and be problem free...but I didn't)
I saw a thread for the CM9 Reloaded Rom and thought "Hey I should push my luck and install this rom immediately!"
so with KFU I installed TWRP and then from there all hell broke loose
and by all hell I mean that I got stuck in TWRP recovery and couldn't boot my device normally
blah blah blah, I tried everything and somewhere along the way wiped everything from my kindle, I dont know why or how but it happened
The only thing I can do now is boot into twrp recovery. I've tried literally everything but if there's anyways you can fix this I will paypal you the $25 I would've spent on the factory cable.
I will be on this forum all day seeing as it's sunday and I am ready and willing to answer any and all questions about my predicament to further clarify the issue.
THANKS!!
p.s.
This isn't a knock against ReloadedRom or TWRP, I understand people have worked hard on them and I really appreciate all the devs do around here. this is simply an IBM (Idiot Behind Machine) problem!

If you know how to use fast boot try this command:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
That should get you out of the twrp loop.

I'll help you if you'll spend the money on a factory cable anyway so you can get out of your next situation.
Read this post and make sure your drivers are in order.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747671&postcount=2
You'll have to get that done first before anything else. If you are completely lost, reading the first post in that thread wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Basically, you have to set the bootmode back to normal using either adb or fastboot... but like I mentioned before, you have to make sure your drivers are working and recognizing your KF.

Just having it show up isn't good enough. With TWRP open... you need to have it show up exactly as "Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface" and "Composite" must be in there.
If it does that... Go to your Kindle Fire Utility folder, open the tools folder inside there. Once you have that open, shift-right-click inside the folder and select "Open command window here" to get to the command line. Then inside that enter these two commands... one after the other....
Code:
adb shell idme bootmode 4000
adb reboot
Your KF should restart back into a normal boot and get you to your system.
EDIT: I guess I should mention that the "shift-right-click" inside a folder works in Windows 7, but I'm not sure that it does in previous versions.
When I did that, it reboots, shows the yellow triangle telling me to press the power button to enter recovery, if i press i get to twrp if i don't it just shuts off with the amber power button on
I think i may have to manually install the drivers?

If it's able to reboot with the "adb reboot" command, I'm guessing your drivers are working fine, but just to verify... What device is shown in the device manager when you have it booted into TWRP?
It's possible that you have a broken ROM flashed onto your device right now and it can't complete a normal boot. You might want to try flashing a new ROM...
If it's rebooting after issuing the commands, then you shouldn't have to press the power button once the yellow triangle comes up. Just give it a few seconds to get past that part and to the KF screen.
I was having the same issues yesterday after flashing, but resolved once I realized I could issue the commands.
if I dont press the power button it just shuts down, I actually figured out a fix for this brick that worked for me I'll post it in a thread today because i've seen a lot of people having the same problem without much success, THANKS to EVERYONE who helped me with this!

Hi all,
Long story short, I accidentally bought a Kindle Fire HD 7. I was hoping to root it but I've had nothing but difficulty. Can anyone help me with the things below? ** Please don't reply if you can't - the disorder and unmoderation of this forum is part of the confusion problem **
- The apps that are given on this site mostly don't work for 7.2.3. Is this an issue with the version?
- I kept getting permission denied errors. Nothing that pushes over, pushes successfully - yet it says it does
- When I finally got something "rooted", my status bar and home bar (at the bottom) are all gone. I can pretty much do nothing with it
- I can't figure out how to restore. I can get into FastBoot mode fairly easily, but when I try to do anything I get "waiting on device" errors. Any ideas?
- I'm a Mac guy, but running Windows 7 to do this. I've tried various versions of drivers posted on the board, but W7 is just a PITA to work with. When it goes into Fastboot, it comes up as an "unrecognized device" in Device Manager. Would this be part of the problem? I've tried to associate drivers with the unknown device, but it keeps saying the driver it has is the best (even though I've removed it).
And while I admit, an emotional rant after spending way too long having to do the above..:
- This forum is a complete mess.. can people with KF HD 8.9's get out of the forum and quit replying or giving advice on the wrong device? Mods, please shut down or move KFHD 8.9 posts. For people trying to find out info, it's seriously a mess.

Ok what is the state of your KFHD? 7"? I would try to use this toolhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 to restore your kindle and getting back to a working state. If you have any questions post them in here or that forum and I will try to guide you through anything. You should not try to use an automated root tool if it isn't for your specified version(7" 7.2.3) and using a automated tool, I think personally, is just not good in general. What does the device manager specifically say when you are in fastboot? It shoulde look like this:
Thanks for getting back to me. I have indeed also tried that, but I encounter the Fastboot problem mentioned above. I can get it into FB mode fine, but when I go to do anything, it gets stuck at "waiting for device". I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong?
I'm using Windows 7 (gah)... just for the purpose of this. Believe me, it reminds me why I've left Windows looonngg ago
PS All automated tools were specific to my model and version #.. i wouldn't do otherwise.
And I forgot to say, it shows the yellow triangle warning signs.
I have however installed all the right drivers that I got on various places on the forums. Any ideas why it's doing that? (USB debugging/ADB is enabled of course)

Try to reinstall the appropriate drivers.. first uninstall the ones you have now then reinstall.. if you have the yellow triangle in device manager the drivers are not installed correctly
I've tried that.. not sure what I need to do now. (I hate Windows)
The drivers appear fine when not in Fastboot (ie regular ADB) just not when in Fastboot

You do know that ADB and Fastboot are different.. Correct? They are two different cmd lines to execite comds to your kindle..does your kindle boot? What is its state? what are you seeing or does it even run at all>
I thought I made this clear in other posts, sorry
My Kindle boots fine normally, but in my attempts to root it, it's screwed something up (my menubar doesn't appear). I wished to restore it using the tool above.
I can get it into Fastboot, but I can't actually perform any actions due to it saying "waiting for device". Most ADB functionality works fine, i.e. to push apps. But I also can't get it rooted.
My issue is that when it is in Fastboot...not when it's not. That is what I'm trying to figure out.

Have you tried Kindle Fire First Aide tool and the restore option of you version?
Yes, I have.
And my issue remains - when in Fastboot mode, it also gets stuck on "waiting for device".
When normal boot, ADB functions are fine. It communicates.. things happen
When in fastboot (I have a WordArt looking 'fastboot' logo on the screen) then nothing appears to communicate, and my Device Manager claims it has an "Unknown Device" that it wont let me manually install drivers for.
Windows 7 is x64 if that makes a difference

Try a factory reset on the device and if that doesn't work go to Chris's thread, KFFirstAide and post your problems that you having with the software. He will help you figure out if something is wrong with your device or its the software. I would think its user related, in the nicest way possible. A lot of times we get are selves all worked up over this stuff and forget to specific steps, I am guilty as well. Maybe take a step back for a few hours and then give it another shot.. Sorry I couldnt help more but I currently don't have my KFHD bc I just got a new one shipped to me and still waiting for it to arrive.. If i had my device in front of me I would probably be able to find you a solution.. Its been three weeks since I have seen a Kindle and my memory is vanishing

Do you mean you get that when you select the option to reboot into fastboot mode, or that you are already on the fastboot screen but nothing is happening?
I had the exact same issue with missing status bar and softkeys, cazy annoying. So hopefully I can remember exactly what I did, depending on your answer to my question though
In regular mode, I had missing status bar and softkeys. I restored factory settings (by using adb to get into the settings screen). They are now back.
Now, I have it rooted (well, I have Superuser loaded at least and it appears to be working)... but that is all. It still feels half-done to me.
With the FirstAide tool I'm getting into Fastboot and then I was going to use it to restore it using the Restore Tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
But it doesn't work.. I can load into the Fastboot screen (wordart logo) but it doesn't connect to the device... I just get "waiting for device" and that's where it stops. The WIndows 7 PC I'm using just says that an unknown device has connected and leaves it there.
Ideally, I wish to load Google Play etc, but I can't do that using the First Aide tool. It throws a lot of permission denied errors at me.. reboots several times, says it has been successful but none of the apps are there.
Ideas? I feel like I'm getting closer... perhaps..!
Have you tried running a app that needs root and seeing if the "grant permission" window pops up when you run it. There is a root checker app that you could install from the Noobs Guide to rooting, which should do the trick. SUChecker.apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
If you have managed to get the UI bars back, how come you want to use the restore tool to reset the whole kindle?
If you root is working fine, and you want to install google play then follow the Alternative Manual Install from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329 instead of using the first aide tool, which seems to be giving a few issues at the moment.
Another random solution is make sure you are using a usb2 port instead of a usb3 port(if you have one)
