I installed the drivers and connect and got KFU to report online and status of 4000, I chose to root and it rebooted the Fire and then got stuck on the White Orange Fire logo and the computer did not see it again.
What I ended up having to do is run the driver installer again! While the fire was in fastboot mode and KFU was still waiting on device and the root install proceeded normally.
No where i have seen has this been said so i figured id give a heads up if it will help someone else out if yours gets stuck on unknown.
This happened on two separate Fire's on two different systems and wasn't required by a third.
I had the same issue when I rooted my kindle. I waited awhile to see if i was just being impatient, then restarted, waited some more etc. plugging it in and running kfu again did the trick. I rooted the thing the day I got it so I wasn't sure what the deal was but it was an easy fix.
On a related note the kindle forums have more 'help I'm bricked!!!' Threads than any other device I follow. I am not sure why b/c it also has some of the most helpful and thorough guides I have ever read.

when the dos screen shows waiting for device, do not unplug the cable and do not turn the dos screen, you should hold the power button to turn off, and then pressthe button again, when the pc ask for driver again you can install the old one... voila, it's ok

I seem to be having a little problem here. I've been wanting to root an android device and after reading about how simple and fail proof the TF rooting experience is I decided to take the plunge.
I found a tutorial on another site (I'm not able to post the link because of forum rules) and decided to proceed. I followed the instructions to the letter and got confirmation that the “phone update was successful” but after rebooting the TF is stuck on the “Eee Pad” screen. I’ve tried rebooting into APX mode but the computer doesn’t find the device.
I’ve looked elsewhere regarding how to unbrick the device but every solution that I see requires booting into APX. Please help!
Edit: I'm sure that it's important that you know what exactly I did. The site that I got the tutorial was eeepadhacks dot net. I'm almost positive it's using the Nvflash method.
Posted this in the middle of the night and it's almost off the first page. Bumping it for an answer...hopefully.
You are in the wrong section. Look in the Android Development section. The first topic there is about unbricking your device.

Not too experienced with the TF, but had the same bootloop type problem on Android phones straight after rooting.
Can you still get into recovery (power off, then hold the power button + volume down until the message shows up, then press volume up)? Try this if you haven't already. If you can get into the recovery you've installed (clockworkmod), you'll be able to flash a new ROM such as Prime and it should be working. If it's the same problem I've run into then it's not bricked, it's just somehow screwed up the original ROM during the rooting process.
Try to get into recovery and let me know. If it doesn't work, then hopefully someone else can help but I wouldn't worry much. It should be relatively easy to fix.
I had the same problem and posted about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181795
What happened to me was that I forgot to unzip the boot.img file from 84411.zip and copy it into the "root" folder in tf_rootkit_31, which I downloaded from the rooting tutorial on xda. That caused the transformer not to boot up. I then held power until it turned off, then held power/vol up until the screen turned black, that means it's in APX mode. Then I ran root.bat and rebooted, works fine now!
Not sure if you missed the same step since you used another tutorial, just try starting over again from the tutorial I used here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
Thanks for the replies guys. I saw your thread last night Vert and that does seem to be the exact problem that I am having. The difference is that I can't get the TF to turn off.
If I hold the power button until the screen shuts off it just reboots. The only way that I can get the screen to turn off is by holding down the volume up button and the power button simultaneously but that doesn't appear to put it in APX mode. At least my computer doesn't seem to recognize it as such.
My plan is to redo it by following the link that you posted (I saw that last night too) but I don't think there's any way to do that until I can get the TF to show up on the PC. Anyone have any suggestions?
After playing with it for a couple of minutes I've noticed that when I put the TF into APX mode a new entry appears under the USB Controllers. It is called NVIDIA USB Boot - recovery driver for Mobile devices.
Hopefully that is helpful information....
Thanks again!!
Are you on windows 7? If so, open up device manager by going to start menu>right click on computer>manage>device manager. Then hold power/vol up on your transformer until the screen doesn't turn on. Device manager should then refresh. Look under Universal Serial Bus controllers and "Nvidia USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices" should show up. This means it is in APX mode. If that doesn't show up try reinstalling the drivers. From there you can run root.bat and it will boot up
Good luck
EDIT:Looks like you got it while I was typing lol
Thanks for your help guys!!
I'm back up and running. I'm not rooted but at least my TF is back alive.
I'll try again later today using that video that you posted Vert.
Thanks to all and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
At least you got it back up and running. When you try it again, let us know how it goes. Hopefully should work smoother this time if you know where you went wrong.

Yup, got it all up and running and am happy to report that I am now sporting Prime 1.5 on my newly rooted TF. Thanks again to everyone that helped out!
I had this problem earlier, and I used nvflash to recover. I thought I was not in apx mode as well but I was. Win 7 64 did not show it but when I flashes it worked. Just try it.

The reason why you forgot may be because in the instructions it tells you to unzip the files higher in the thread before Step 1 begins.
"
extract the file inside the zip to directory root before running root.bat

My kindle fire stuck at yellow triangle while Flash Custom Recovery (TWRP).
Kindle fire can not found in device manager.
In device manager show USB device but I cann't install driver.
Please help me to solve this problem.
were you flashing with KFU? Try using v0.9.1 rather than 0.9.3
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.

Hey guys, normally I would research this good, but I'm in a bit of a time crunch. So, if I unplugged it, I need to follow the directions linked above (uninstalling drivers / reinstalling drivers)?
This kindle belongs to my nephew and I've had it for almost two weeks, I would like to return it to him soon.

So, I rooted my device, and I flashed CM7, and everything worked fine.
after running for awhile my device just went black. So when after about 15 mins, it went to the Fire triangle logo and is now stuck in this logo.
I searched and found problems like this but when I plug in my device, my computer wont recognize it...
so am i screwed? - Again, I've searched and tried many of the steps advised...
What did you use to obtain root? Do you have the KF Utilities downloaded and on your computer?
If not, here is a link: (Vashypooh gets ALL the credit)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
Mine got stuck on the triangle as well and I thought I was screwed, but more than likely you're just stuck in fastboot.
What I did was use the KFU and even though it didn't show as recognized I was able to use Option 1 - Bootmode Menu, Then Option 1 - Normal.
My Fire restarted normally after that.
Don't know if it will fix it for you, but it's worth a shot huh?
Thank you sir. After reading that I got to reboot correctly by turning it off plugging it in, and turning it off and on three times and tried the unbrick utility again and it went through. Thank you.
Glad you got it to work. Now you can get on to the fun parts.
Also for some people this might work. I unbricked my kindle. Here is how I did it
1.Download kindle fire utility
2.Unzip kindle fire utility
3.To install the driver,its easy,just plug in your kindle, when it pops up with the install wizard say pick from the location of: KindleFireUtility>drivers>kindle 4.run kindle fire utility,select 1 then select 1 again
That's it, hope it helps someone like me
I used the kfu to root 6.3 and followed all the instructions perfectly. The command prompt told me the root was successful and I caught the kindle screen out of the corner of my eye and it looked like it was loading into twrp but it shut off and won't turn on. I've tried hard resetting and nothing. My comp won't recognize the kindle plugged in and have no idea what to do. Srry if this has been asked before but I think i might be in trouble and need help asap. Thanx

DON'T LET YOUR BATTERY DIE
You are stuck in fastboot mode. Easy to fix...just follow the instructions. Letting your battery die will cause more problems than you want to deal with.

Go to your PC and go to control panel>system>device manager (I'm not near a computer but I'm pretty sure that's right) and look for anything that says kindle or android and uninstall it. Then install the driver package that was included with kfu. You may need to reboot your PC for it to worl
