[Q] Kindle keeps rebooting - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a big problem. I have a kindle Fire and I had TWRP installed. I installed a stock rom and it removed both TWRP and FFF. Now every time I turn it on and slide the lock over I get error messages. they are as followes:
Calander Storage (process com.android.providers.calandar) has stopped unexpectedly. ((FORCE CLOSE BUTTON))
process com.android.acore has stopped unexpectedly. ((FORCE CLOSE BUTTON))
This repeates as soon as I press the force close.
Then the Kindle Fire reboots.
If I type ADB Devices I get 4458002600000001 device
if I use the KFU it reports
ADB STATUS : Online
Boot Status :4000
none of the options work as I keep getting errors in FKU
Is it hopeless?
Please help me as the warrantee is done and I NEED IT BACK BADDDDDD
Thanks

Don't wait for it to fc on you race it to factory reset in the kindle settings and reset it or get a factory cable to force it into fastboot so you can reflash twrp and fff and then flash a rom.

Not sure what you are saying

I don't Understand what you mean by your post.
My kindle keeps rebooting BEFORE I can factory reset. I can get to the settings screen, but it only goes so far and reboots.
I am a newb so to speak and appreciate the help. Just wondering if you could give me specific details to follow. Have read posts but nothing stated works.
This is making me crazy.

There wasn't any hidden meaning in my suggestion some manage to be fast enough to make it to settings to factory reset it before it reboots. If it's not possible for you then a factory cable is needed. Hold the power button for 30 seconds till you are assured it is off then try the race from that powered off position anything you can do to shave time in your effort or gain a few seconds to reach the factory reset.

You r amazing

I am having this same issue, KFU says its still online 4000 but doesn't let me go into fastboot. Please help.

Try Soupkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038 if it still doesn`t work get a factory cable post # 9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693 .

This happened to me. I just turned it off, turned it back on, opened KFU, and rooted from there. I installed twrp Then mounted, copied the stock rom, wiped everything, copied stock by mounting again, and installed it. If it doesn't work then use soup kit or a factory cable

I can turn it on without a problem the problem is when it turns on I get the same error messages like in the first post and before I can erase everything it reboots. When I attach to KFU it says it's online and 4000 if I tell it to go to fastboot it says waiting on device.

On KFU, Just click root. Remember, this is while it is booting. By the way, what rom did you install. if you got it off Amazon and renamed it to Update. zip, after installing ics or jb, then my way should work. just keep trying and don't give up.

All fixed now, easiest way to fix it was to go into applications and clear data of the affected apps (calendar,keyboard and contacts) and it cleared right up and booted normally and now I am back to stock. Just glad it was something so easy. Took a couple of times of the kindle fire rebooting but finally was able to clear out the data affected.

should've thought of that at first. good job.

Red Triangle Kindle can't boot.

I brought a Kindle Fire 2nd Gen and wanted to root it. As soon as I took it out of the box it started updating itself to 10.2.3. When I attempted to root it, it started working very slow and the boot logo would randomaly appear and now after alot of searching and trying to fix I now have a red triangle with the message
"Your Kindle device cannot boot.
You can reset your device to Factory defaults to fix this issue (all data will be deleted from the device).
<Menu options>
To reboot your device press and hold the power button for 4 seconds and release.
To reset to Factory Defaults, press the power button 5 times in succession"
Restarting doesn't work nor does trying to reset to Factory Defaults it simply goes back to the same screen.
you're boned contact amazon and tell them that it just keeps going to that screen... DO NOT SAY THAT YOU TRIED TO ROOT IT.

Don'y know what you did in the end, if you contacted Amazon for a replacement, or if you acquired a Factory cable.
This should be recoverable by using a special Factory cable to get Fastboot mode, from which you can flash backed up partitions.
Ideally you should backup your own partitions on your new KF2 straight after rooting it. This thread has the instructions:

[Q] KF 2 GEN not seen my computer on fast boot cable.

Rank newbie here. I did l watch the video of forum instructions for newbies and I have looked high and low for an answer I could understand. I am still stuck so reluctantly....Here we go...
I rooted my KF 2 Gen and had no problem doing so. Installed Google aps store, launchers etc. all on the stock OS.
All worked well until I got smart and decided to try a custom rom. It seemed to install fine. Asked all the options as I installed. Did I want Chrome, what launchers, etc. I wiped all the cache options and system. Went through all those screens and when it finally booted, I am stuck at the stock Kindle Fire logo in a boot loop. It will not connect to the computer. It seems to boot before it is recognized Dug on this forum, made myself a "factory cable" and it does work. When I plug it in, I get the Kindle logo a moment then a flashing gif of a stop light blinking red and green with the words. "Fast Boot" at the top of the screen. The problem is, I can not get the computer to "see" the Kindle Fire 2 Gen on this fast boot/ factory cable. I have tried switching ports, all the suggestions. The cable will launch the tablet into fast boot mode just fine however, the tablet does not connect to the computer. ( Windows XP Pro SP 3). I think I can figure out how to flash and restore on my own if I can get the tablet to communicate with the computer. I have no idea where to go now other than having a brand new paperweight. I just bought it two days prior and I suppose I could return it but the issues were caused by me so I don't feel like it's their duty to replace it.
Thanking you in advance for your assistance.
Go into TWRP, factory reset, and try again.

Thank you for your reply.
Sadly, the boot sequence terminates and it reboots before it ever gets to the TWRP stage.

When your device boots, do you see the blue Kindle Fire logo at any point?
Got it going! Thanks to this forum!

No, Soup. I would never get to the blue logo but....
I got it flying! After I got to fast boot, I swapped the fast boot cable to a regular cable and all was down hill from there on. I'm looking at a booted tablet.
Beers on me next time I am in Austin!

Kindle Fire 2 Bricked

Alright I'm sure you all love these posts... Well, I've been rooting for a while so I'm not really a novice, pretty embarassing this happened really.. So I'll start by saying my device was successfully rooted a little while ago. I installed one of the cyanogenmod roms at first, but the battery life was terrible so I reverted back to stock. I then decided to play around a little with the systemui to change the battery icon to something that actually displays the battery %. Worked fine for a little while, then it started to reboot everytime I turned the screen off. It started to get annoying, so I decided to revert back to my backup and the problem still continued. Then I decided to wipe everything and install the new rom just released a little while ago and as soon as it started up an app kept forceclosing so it wouldn't work. So I rebooted into TWRP to wipe and reload again but accidently formatted the internal memory. So I did some searching as mounting wouldn't work and used a tool KF2_SRT_10.2.3 to restore the files to start from scratch. I used TWRP to set it to boot fastboot and it installed without issues. Then it was stuck in fastboot, so I used the command fastboot -i0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1 while in command prompt on my computer as I couldn't obviously boot into TWRP to do it there. Then it poped up with the red triangle with the exclamation point saying something about the data is corrupt and I should hold the power button for 4 seconds to reboot or hit it 5 times to factory reset, so I hit the button 5 times to reset. Wasn't really paying attention to it at the time, then it powered down, powered back up and now it's stuck on the splash screen.
TL;DR, flashed stock system.img and recovery using KF2_SRT_10.2.3, kindle booted to error screen saying to reboot device to press power 5 times to restore, pressed power 5 times, kindle stuck on splash screen.
The splash screen blinked like it did before it booted to the screen where you choose to boot either TWRP or the system. Computer doesn't detect it. Any ideas where I can start?
And yes I'm 100% sure this is a Kindle Fire 2, came in black box and last I checked had OS 10.2.3. Hoping this can be fixed, if not I can probably get away with sending it back to amazon. I hope.....
You need a factory cable.
From there you can restore the system from fastboot.

Thank you kindly for your quick responce! I ordered a cable because I don't have my soldering iron with me here at school and I want this fixed as soon as possible. After doing some reading this should fix everything so no further replies are needed. Thanks!

Phone stuck at fire logo , irrecoverably bricked?

Hi,
I am new to xda and would like to thank everyone for their help in advance.
I have a fire phone that does not go beyond the fire screen. The phone becomes extremely hot and is stuck at that point. I tried calling amazon and since I deregistered the phone they can't do anything to help me. I don't have the developer mode enabled so wasn't able to use ADB. When I turn on the phone, it still makes sounds/vibration when i plug and unplug the charger, press the home button. Also, I can see internal storage when I connect the phone to a computer via USB.
I already tried to wipe the cache, factory reset the phone etc from recovery with no avail. Has anyone had this problem and has it been solved?
Thanks again for you time.

ethereal123 had a similar problem booting up Fire OS. The problem was fixed by reinstalling Fire OS. See my post to ethereal123, starting at 1 through 6. If that doesn't work, and your phone is still under warrenty, you should call Amazon back and get your phone replaced.

Fire Phone Won't Go into Download Mode

I'm not entirely sure if this is where I should post this, but I am having a problem with my Fire Phone and I really hope you guys can help.
So, story time. I was thinking that I wanted to install a new ROM on my phone just to try some new things. I decided on the SlimKat android 4.4.x ROM and I installed it with GAPPS using SafeStrap 4.01. However, the new ROM was not working correctly so I thought I installed it wrong. So, I read up a little bit more on this and it said that I had to do a factory restore beforehand so I did it with high hopes that it would work. However, it sill did not work. What happens is that I power it on, it asks whether I want to go into SafeStrap or not, it continues if I say no, and they it starts with SlimKat. After about 20 seconds, it stops the starting animation and starts its boot loop.
Since I factory restore it, I had no back ups or and ROMs that I could install on my device. I try to plug it into my computer but it is unrecognizable even if it is the recovery. I also tried going into download mode, doing it multiple ways, but with not luck. It still goes into the boot loop. I factory reset it multiple times but still with no luck. Within SafeStrap, I tried to wipe it, but it is unable to wipe the Dalvik Cache or Data. If there is any way that I can move the stock ROM onto my phone, it would solve all my problems. If any of you have any ideas, please let me know.
I having same problem. Unable to go to recovery mode in normal way, but I could managed to go to recovery by attaching it to computer with usb cable and keeping pressing power + Vol up key for few seconds.
Then I tried Factory restore, Adb Sideload original file downloaded from amazon, but the problem still not solved.
My phone is keep flashing amazon logo in loop.
If any one have idea please help.
