I tried to install CM9 to my kindle, but I didn't realize I was supposed to install TWRP first. I am stuck at the yellow triangle, can't get into recovery (of any sort).
When I plug in the USB cable I type in
Code:
fastboot getvar product
which returns: kindle.
I tried to push TWRP using
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img
and it returns: sending 'recovery' (5568 KB) but nothing ever happens.
I have tried draining the battery and recharging it completely. I have been able to get into recovery before by tapping the power button but don't seem to be able to do it anymore.
adb doesn't work at all. I should mention I am on a mac so KFU didn't work for me either.
I promise to be more careful in the future, can someone please help me save my kindle?
Try omitting the "-i 0x1949" from your command and flash it again.
EDIT: While you're at it, download TWRP again and confirm its md5 checksum before flashing it again.
md5 is ok, I tried without the switch as well still nothing

What recovery did you use to flash CM9 in the first place? What happens when you try to boot into the system?
I'm starting to recall some people having problems with the mac version of fastboot. Do you have another OS available just to compare things?
in my case the commands only return "is <waiting device>"
I had CWM I believe it's still in there somewhere. But I can't get to it anymore. Sometimes I think CM9 is going to start up because I do get the splash screen but it just goes on for like 15 minutes then the kindle restarts and goes back to the yellow triangle of doom.
EDIT: No unfortunately all I have is the mac

If you're using Windows, read the first three posts here...

and make sure your drivers are working properly.

I hope you weren't using Hashcode's CWMR...
In any case, I believe I've seen another user struggle with fastboot on the mac. You might be having the same problem, but I can't find that thread. You might want to look into building Ubuntu Linux on a USB stick and try running that on your mac. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for someone who's used those tools on the mac to chime in here. I've never played around with it.

I have no idea which CWM I have. I couldn't find the mac fastboot thread either, I guess I will just put it away for now until I get access to a pc.
Looking above there is a good chance twrp sent I'm pretty sure now all you need to do is reset your bootmode
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot
Do you try use factory cable? If not, let factory cable and run command
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

Not to just sit here and tromp on your toes chamnv but the title of this thread is "kindle stuck in fastboot mode but wont accept commands" my impression of a factory cable is that it puts you in fastboot and secondly above he has attempted to send a new recovery why would he then send an old one?

Just unplug the KF from the USB, hold the power button and turn it back on. Repeat the process.
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader <name of firefirefire image here>
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery <name of recovery image here>
So, I know not supposed to post questions that are lame, but I can't seem to figure this out. I will state my specs/situation:
I am stuck on the first step of installing FFF on my first Kindle Fire 1st gen.
I am on a Macbook Pro Retina 15" mid-2012 (USB3.0/2.0 mix ports only)
I am using KFU on a Win8 64-bit Virtual Machine (VMWare latest version)
The kindle fire is in fastboot mode (I'm pretty sure, at least).
It is stuck on the stock Kindle fire boot-up logo.
install_Drivers was run successfully after enabling unsigned driver installs.
Run.bat was executed
selected Option 5 first, to install FFF
FFF was downloaded by KFU, the Fire rebooted and then got stuck.
As it rebooted, I had forgotten to automatically have my Fire connect to the Virtual Machine, so VMWare prompted my with what system I wanted the fire connected to. I'm not sure if that delay has something to do with the stall and failure of KFU to install FFF or get out of fastboot.
KFU doesn't recognize the Kindle ("waiting for device" message; ADB: Offline; Boot Status:Unknown).
In my "other devices" on Windows Device Manager I see "Base System Device" and "Unknown Device"
My questions are:
1. How do I go about getting it out of fastboot mode even though KFU can't see the device.
2. What was I doing wrong in the first place?
Before you tell me:
I have read through the Guide
I have read through and searched much of the KFU dev thread
I have searched the forums, without a clear solution.
Thank you very much for your help!!!

EDIT: I guess I should specify, I do NOT have a fastboot factory cable. Do I need one?
Okay since you can use windows on a vm start there. Shift+right click on the tools folder inside KFU select open command window here, plug in the kindle, type the first command hit enter, type the second command hit enter if all goes well it should reboot normally. Same concept on a mac whatever directory adb and fastboot are in open a terminal, same commands same method. Good luck
Edit: in fact you can just copy paste my commands then you know you got it right. Dunno about the cable yet see if the commands work.

Did the first one, but still says "waiting for device" and nothing is happening. :/ (EDIT: for clarity's sake, nothing happening means its still stuck on the kindle fire white/orange stock boot logo)
btw, thank you for your help.
Hold the power button to turn the device off. Enter the command, and turn the device on when you see "waiting for device".

Still doesn't show up. (It also occasionally crashes my mac system when I plug the kindle in now :/ )
If I get a factory cable, will that likely solve this easily?
Well I'm not a Mac person but it's far better with drivers than Windows ever will be maybe google how to setup and and fastboot on a Mac and go from there. Download install breakdroid that should be accompanied with the drivers.

Got it! Using Breakdroid, I was able to capture the Kindle as it powered on. I believe my main problem was that there was a significant enough delay in connecting the Kindle via USB to the Windows Virtual Machine, that the ADB couldn't access it in time to capture it. Or whatever.
Solution: I used BreakDroid on my Mac. Turned the kindle off, then back on while Breakdroid was waiting for my device to perform Step 1 on Breakdroid's Kindle Tools. Then it immediately captured the Kindle when I powered it on. Went through the steps on Breakdroid, and it's working with bootloader and recovery
Works great! Have all my stuff back. And...it's rooted
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, GUYS!
EDIT: Now how do I install Google Play?
I use "Custom CWM-Based Touch Recovery 5.0.2.7 for Kindle Fire" to install CM10.1
And now my KF stuck at boot animation. When i connect it with computer, the computer had the 'mtp usb device' error (can't install).
KFU still show 'Online' status but I can't use the boot mode (included normal, fast, recover).
"Waiting for device" is the only thing that I had.
Any one can help me solve this problem?

FFF 1.3 with the Android, right? Enter the following command, and reboot your device:
Code:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 5001
That should get you into recovery so you can reflash your ROM. Remember to factory reset.

Hello,
Still working on my kids KF2. I got root, yeah! However at some point it updated to 10.3. Can someone point me in the right direction for getting its bootloader downgraded from a Windows 7 x64 platform? I can use a RHEL box at work if I really need to, but rather not.
so I get CM on this thing
thanks!

That is a command to be run from the command lint to put your device in fastboot mode without a factory cable. Once your device is in fastboot, then you can continue with the fastboot commands. If you are in fastboot and you still get "<waiting for device>", you need to make sure your drivers are configured properly.

Well bummer. I got into fast boot. I think I got a backup. But on a reboot, it just looks the Orange Kindle Fire logo...
Now I really need a fast boot cable hua? Assuming a fastboot cable will let me fast boot. Once there again what can I do?

Hold the power button to turn your device off, enter the following command and boot it up again...
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
...dose your device boot into fastboot? If so, start over and try again. If not, you'll need a factory cable.

When I make one, will it just boot into fastboot upon boot if the cable is in? Just pins 1 and 4 right?

If your device is completely off, and you plug a working factory cable in, it will boot into fastboot.
Info on pin layout
You need a 5-pin usb cable BTW.

Were you able to successfully backup your boot, recovery, and system partitions before everything went wrong?
No I was looking at it, I think it errored out.
I can just fastboot with cable and start over with hash's guide?

You are supposed to save your partition images with the 'dd' command using the shell:
Hashcode said:
STEP 1. Backup your stock partitions to your own HD for later if you need disaster recovery:
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/stock-boot.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/stock-system.img" # This will take a few minutes
adb pull /sdcard/stock-boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/stock-recovery.img
adb pull /sdcard/stock-system.img # This will take a few minutes
Take those files and put them somewhere safe.

You won't see a "max-download-size" message unless you are using fastboot to flash those images.
ohh ok.. so I dont have a backup
But the fastboot cable is working! Im in fastboot
keeps telling me no device found
do I want the "Android ADB Interface" or "Andriod Composite ADB Interface"?
Also once booted in to fastboot with the cable, do I just leave the cable or put the stock cable back in? Shouldnt matter... but just want to make sure.
Hi,guys!I've had some trouble now.
I've unlocked bootloader before on N5x, but I accidentally locked it up again today.I want to use the "fastboot oem unlock" command,it doesn't work.
Now,when I open the phone,it only shows fastboot mode . And I can't start,recovery,boot anymore. My phone can only stay on this page which shows"Your devixe is corrupt.It can't be trusted and may not work properly" with a red exclamation mark.
How can I do now ? Looking forward to your reply.

Just under that does it say "fastboot mode" in red?
If so does fastboot recognize the device?
fastboot devices <-- this is the command to check.
Also command prompt needs to be run as administrator in windows for fastboot to work properly.
