What version were you on before you flashed 5.6.0.1?

[Q] TWRP Not Booting

I used the Kindle Fire Utility to root my Kindle Fire, and then I installed TWRP on the device.
When I restart my device though, the yellow caution symbol doesn't display, meaning I can't access TWRP to install my room. Anyone have any solutions/explanations?
Did you turn it off, hit on, then tap the on button again?
Yes sir. It just boots like it normally would into the Kindle Fire UI.
If you are using the latest verison of KFU .0.9.2, it doesn't work. Try using the later versions like 0.9.1, it works on that one for sure.
I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion shintokun. I'll let you know how it goes.
That did it! Thanks for the solution shintokun!

Kindle Fire TWRP Yellow Triangle bootloop

I rooted my kindle fire with the Kindle Fire Utility. Installed TWRP, and installed the rom - MIUI.us_blaze_4.0.3-2.2.3-alpha_0xD34D. After doing this, I reboot and I am stuck at the Yellow Triangle. If I push the power button to get into TWRP the power button turns orange and is still stuck at the yellow triangle . if I power off and on again , do nothing Windows detects the kindle for a few second and then it disappears and then is detected again and then disappears, so I cannot access the device through ADB ,
Any ideas or do I now have a paper weight instead of a kindle fire
Kindle fire Utility should work even without being recognized (well it did for me after turning on and off 3 times).
Does the device at least get's the firefirefire logo? If so, this is what I did
-Turn your kindle off by holding the power button down for at most 20 seconds.
-Plug kindle into your computer
-Run the unbrick utility
-Turn kindle on
-Wait for the Caution Sign with the fire logo (firefirefire logo)
-Choose first option on utility (Recovery Loop)
-Wait... (a max of 10 minutes)
This should work, if not, try to turn off your kindle on and off, and then try again.
==========================================
This is what worked for me (I've been tossing this around awhile now, and it even worked for two of my friends).
The link to the unbrick utility is: Here
Mine got stuck on the triangle as well and I thought I was screwed, but appears you are just stuck in fastboot.
What I did was use the KFU (vashypoo has made an awesome utility) and even though it didn't show as recognized when I opened the KFU, I was able to use Option 1 - Bootmode Menu, Then Option 1 - Normal.
My Fire restarted normally after that.
Give it a shot.

Zane had to cycle a couple of times to get it to take.
Are there alternative download links for this utility....I keep downloading it from the site that this site provides and I keep getting viruses or incomplete downloading. I have been trying to unbrick my kindle for weeks and this seems like my last route...
Try this Linux solution. It was the only thing that worked for me.

Solution for This: I had the exact same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...02&postcount=4
I had the exact same problem and b63 posted this as a reply. My Kindle was stuck on yellow triangle and was not recognized by ADB. When I tried to boot into twrp the power button turned orange but stayed on the yellow triangle. The thread above is what I used, worked perfectly.
Good Luck!
Kindle Fire Bricked and Windows doesn't recognize it.
First off, thanks for all the development and help in getting the Unbricking utility and the KFU for all of us noobs. I have been searching threads for hours before I decided to post, and I can't find the answer. I rooted with KFU and have TWRP installed. I ran MIUI several months until I decided to try MIUI 4.0 after I flashed 4.0 it rebooted to the yellow triangle and the power turned orange. I ran the unbricking utility and now the light is green, but it won't go any further. When I first plug in the kindle windows recognizes it for a second and then it disappears from the device manager completely. I have updated the driver several times, tried the KFU to get it to boot (4000) and nothing works. if I turn off the kindle and turn it back on KFU and windows will recognize it for a second and reboot it, but then it gets stuck on yellow triangle and never goes anywhere. Then I don't see it in the device manager anymore, not even 'unknown device'.
I did forget and leave the Kindle plugged into the computer while it was flashing MIUI 4.0, I don't know if that would have killed it. I never got a chance to see 4.0 it's been bricked ever since.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry if this specific situation has been covered anywhere in the forums and I missed it.
Thanks

Sounds like you dont have bootloader or cwm installed. you had it before and flashed that rom? did you try and delete it?
All I did was flash the rom and wipe factory settings and few others. If I dont have either is there anyway to restore or am I stuck?

[Q] Kindle Fire flashing TWRP logo over and over

Hi, my kindle fire is running CM7 and it is repeatedly flashing the yellow TWRP triangle over and over while plugged in. While not plugged in it does nothing and will not turn on. I tried to hit the power button to go into recovery, with no luck. Also tried to use KF Utilities to change the bootmode, to no luck. Any ideas?
This is typical of a dead battery. Turn your Kindle off and plug it into the wall charger for a while. Afterwards you can issue fastboot commands to change your bootmode.

Stuck on Boot Screen

Not sure there's a Kindle Gen 1 forum, so posting this here.
This morning I was fiddling around with attempting to root my Kindle Fire. For some reasons, most of the root drivers weren't working.
Then something did work, but apparently I did NOT get rooted, as that option on ES File Explorer wasn't there.
Finally, I managed to get something to work. I used Kindle Fire Utility and was pretty successful.
The problem is, it would not reboot. I let it sit there for hours, and it wouldn't get past the boot screen, saying "kindle fire"
I unplugged it, force-shut it down, and tried again to reboot it. Still stuck on the screen. Figuring it would work itself out in a few hours, like most of my Kindle problems, I left it. Now I'm sitting here, and it's still not working.
It reacts when I plug it into my computer, but the computer only recognizes it as 'kindle' without a driver and the little yellow sign. Won't open up a folder for it, and the Kindle isn't getting past boot. Really stuck here.
That's pretty much what happened. Is there any way to fix this? Or is my Kindle facing a unique problem (with my luck, probably is).
Edit: Now the boot screen is flashing on and off...?
First,there is a kindle fire first gen thread just look up kindle fire in find your devices second,you will need a factory cable to reboot to fastboot and reflash the stock rom
