[Q] Bricked kindle fire wont register at all on my system

I never managed to finish a root using kindle utility I am unsure but believe it was my battery being low but it never would load back onto the program after the utility rebooted it. windows said it was unable to tell what kind of usb device the kindle was. I just need to know how to get the thing to be recognized on my computer. if i can get that far i can use an unbrick utility i found to fix it. Atm it doesnt load at all passed the orange and white kindle logo and im trying to charge my kindle but it is certainly acting odd, no way of telling if its charging or what. But i just need some general instructions or references to other links. maybe i mis installed the abd not sure. If anyone can get me going in the right direction I would be greatly thankful.

is it just one the orange and white logo? or does it like animate with a flash going from right to left? If it just sits there then you are probably in fastboot mode and can flash twrp through fastboot

Is abd the same as KFU? and if not where do i get it and if it is the same do i install the IDE or something else (i installed abd wrong the first time and removed it and havnt figured out the right way to do so)

KFU (kindle fire utility) is not the same as ADB. KFU is just a one-click tool used to root, and put a custom recovery on your kindle fire. So, do you have Kindle Fire Utility downloaded?

OOOOHH I have that but it always says that my device is offline

OK well what I would like you to do is, unplug your device, go to the folder where kfu is and find /tools and right click to try to open command prompt at that location. Then plug your device in and type fastboot devices.

Can you unplug your device and then the command, then plug it in immediately after you hit enter

A live usb will work and either distro will be fine. You have to either run the commands as the root user, or set up your udev rules, or use the SoupKit for it to work properly.

[Q] Before I proceed...

Hey everyone. I am a fresh new owner of the Kindle Fire 2(and generation), running 10.4.6 firmware, and its definitely a nifty little thing. I got it solely for the purpose of rooting it and turning into some half-ass Nexus 7, haha. I've been reading up as much as I can, and from what I've been seeing, this device is a finnicky SOB. Things can go either really smoothly, or really badly at random. So before I take the plunge, I just wanna post the steps I'm gonna do in hopes that someone who is rooted and running a custom ROM can solidly confirm these steps are correct.
I'm going to use this guide here to for 10.4.6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44577053
Then I'm going to use this guide for root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075959
Downgrade bootloader(not software firmware) to 10.2.4, flash TWRP using fastboot on PC, then load in the FMKilo-2.apk and CM and gapps on tablet, run Tweezermod, reboot into TWRP and do a full system wipe (I'll wipe 3x just to be safe), then flash CM and gapps.
From my understanding, I don't necessarily need a fastboot cable to root and flash ROMs, but I will need it incase things go haywire, which there is a moderate possibility of. Is all of this correct? I'm sorry if this is a redundant and pointless post, but I just want some solid answers before I dive in. I'm not new to Android or flashing, but this device is just a little intimidating, so I just wanna be safe. And who knows, maybe this post can help others with 10.4.6
Cheers, guys. :beer:

I suggest putting the ROM and gapps onto the kindle before flashing twrp and 2nd bootloader, because the latest os detects if the boot loader isn't the same version as the os, if it doesn't match it boot loops into recovery and its slightly more complicated than drag and dropping the ROM once that happens.

So right after flashing TWRP, immediately flash CM and gapps? And how's my steps looking? Am I good to go without needing a fastboot cable?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

It seems like you left out the step for installing 2nd boot loader, I'm more familiar with the HD models so I'll have to check up on the details for flashing on kf2, but I think you can just use fire flash to flash twrp, but I'd better check before you start messing with the boot loader. And yea pretty much you have to flash a new ROM or a older amazon os from twrp after flashing.
Edit: I don't see any mention of fire flash being compatible with kf2's, best to avoid it. There's a thread that tells how to put second boot loader and twrp on in the android dev section if u haven't seen it. Here it is! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963

Sweet, thank you so much man! And I can do all of this WITHOUT the fastboot cable, right? I only need that if SHTF, correct? And one more thing, I put the 2nd bootloader on AFTER I downgrade to 10.2.4?
Once again, I apologize for all the questions. Just wanna be safe rather than sorry.

Well, didn't get very far at all I couldn't get adb to recognize my device. I updated android SDK, install Google USB Drivers, installed new Kindle driver fixes in the reference thread in the development section, rebooted both device and computer. Adb just refused to recognize the device. Maybe I'll try a different computer?

Make sure your drivers are installed, also remember adb doesn't work with fastboot mode, just thought I'd mention that. If you don't have the drivers installed use the ones in my signature.

Well, for some reason I can't even get other computers to recognize my device using ADB. These same computers I've been using for root for quite sometime now, are all of the sudden not listing any devices through ADB, not even my phone. Should I try reinstalling adb drivers? And how would I go about using the USB drivers posted in your signature?

You just find then device in the device manager with a yellow triangle next to it usually, right click it, hit update driver, and point it to the directory that u extracted that zip file to. If you happen to need a newer version of adb/fastboot, download the attachment on this post.

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for the ADB drivers and USB drivers! My device is now successfully rooted
However, I've ran into another problem. When continuing through the bootloader process, when I'm supposed to downgrade to 10.2.4, I'm supposed to enter the fastboot command to flash the bootloader, command prompt just hangs at <waiting for device>...
I've read through the thread about this message, but I couldn't find a clear answer, as it seems some people have succeed with AND without a fastboot cable for this part :/
Any suggestions?

You can still do everything through the ADB shell. Using fastboot isn't really necessary, but you'll have to be really careful.

Thank you for the response. Is there a guide somewhere I can use that explains how to issue the adb commands instead of going through fastboot?
*EDIT*
Dug around for a bit and stumbled across this. Would these be the correct commands for going through adb?
" Put them in the same directory as adb and open up cmd
cd to the directory with adb and issue the commands:
adb push otter2-freedom-boot.img /sdcard/
adb push otter2-twrp-2.4.4.0-recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/otter2-freedom-boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot
dd if=/sdcard/otter2-twrp-2.4.4.0-recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery

Close. Asuming your device is already rooted, you created your backups, AND flashed the stack override, you still need to downgrade the bootloader.
Code:
adb push otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin /sdcard/
adb push otter2-freedom-boot.img /sdcard/
adb push otter2-twrp-2.4.4.0-recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/bootloader

dd if=/sdcard/otter2-twrp-2.4.4.0-recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery
reboot
Be sure do check the md5s of all downloads before flashing though

Thank you, will try a little bit later in the day. One more question, do I no longer need the FMKilo apk? I've been seeing in other threads that the apk has been bricking devices, but v4 may or may not work. And its not mentioned in the 2nd bootloader thread, so I'm just a bit confused. Should I still download and run v4 after downgrading bootloader and installing TWRP, or should I just downgrade, install TWRP, and immediately flash CM + gapps from there? Wanna get all the clear information I can.

*UPDATE*
HOT DAMN! I AM RUNNING CM10.1!!!
So what I did was download all the needed files, and used the fixed commands posted above by Soup to adb push them to the device, then proceeded with did commands to flash them to the device. I made damn sure that the file names matched that of those in the commands, inputted them one by one, rebooted and was greeted by the blue Kindle Fire logo, where I was able to cycle through the options to get to recovery. Immediately wiped everything in TWRP, and flashed CM and gapps. Up and running! This tablet is soooooo much better with AOSP running on it. Thank you, Stunts and Soup for helping me out.
And this was all done WITHOUT a fastboot cable. It was extremely dangerous and risky, but I made it through unharmed.

[Q] Kindle Fire Stuck At Boot Logo Screen, HELP?!?

Hello my device is stuck in bootloop and wont be reconised by my computer unless it is connected by a factory cable i bought from 'EarlyBird' on Amazon.
The screen turns on as well as the green light, it flickers and then goes black. This just REPEATS. (also the kindle fire logo shows in white/orange).
Plugged my kindle in with factory cable and showed up in Device Manager as KIndle fire like it should.
I have drivers installed so this is why.
How can i make the kindle boot up again and work like normal?!?
Thanks.

I recommend you read everything in that thread. Then read some more.
What I wrote in the original post is pretty self-explanatory. If you don't understand something I said then you haven't read enough.
This is NOT a basic device to work on. I also see you started in the Kindle fire 1 forums. If you flashed anything there you're already screwed.

Because adb doesn't work with fastboot, with fastboot you use fastboot commands. Once its in fastboot I suggest using this to restore it to working order: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

The main thing is to have the right versions adb and fast boot available and you should be able to restore ok.

And now a Mod has to do clean-up. If you 2 wanna argue, go take it to the playground or something.

I understand that your need to flash a new .IMG and a new system image. I believe that your download then has those files. I see from the text that I out the text/code into fastboot with kindle connect with fastboot cable. Then should reboot and work. Is that right? Does kindle have to show in adb devices for this to work as its not for me...
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

ADB is for pushing and fastboot is for flashing. No, while in fastboot you won't see ADB recognized. Try typing fast boot devices to see if fastboot is set up right and type fastboot getvar all in the command prompt to see if your device is recognized. Also if you're running Windows 7 X64 or Windows 8 you should disable Windows driver enforcement first.

Any ideas?

You have another kindle that has 6.3.3 that rooted with no issues? Just curious. Planning on rooting mine as well and looking for any insight as I don't want to brick my device since it updated to 6.3.3 on me.

Yes, I actually had 2 of them that rooted fine. They are all KF HD 7" First Generation. This one just won't. I'm now working with the KF First Aide tool kit, and I now get SU: ACCESS DENIED or something like that. Communication with ADB is fine, there's a permission issue somewhere I can't figure out.

Hmmm. Downloaded it, installed it. The "make it rain" button that says it will reboot my device does not.

Rooting Kindle running 6.3.3
so you have successfully rooted a kindle fire hd running 6.3.3? I have spent all day trying to figure out how to root mine and install a version of jelly bean. Could you point me in the direction of what versions of jellybean/kindle fire utility to use? i have tried using kf utility 0.9.9 and i have the same issue as you where it says the device is online but the boot status is unknown. Thx for the help.

Awww crapola. Nevermind. All I knew was that both of them were on 6.3.3, so I thought that was what they've always been on. Bzzzzt. The one that was working still has the adw launcher installed, but it doesn't have root any more. So THAT'S why KFU doesn't work on this new one.
They are my girlfriend's kids' kindles, and I told her not to ever update them, but I guess this one was pushed out.
So.... how long until theres a root kit for 6.3.3?

Didn't brick it, but didn't work either. The apk installs just fine, but when I click the "make it rain" button that says the device will reboot, nothing happens. The device does not reboot, and is not rooted. I tried rebooting the kindle and trying again with the same result. I guess I now fit the definition of insanity.

And... tried V2 of towelroot this morning. Still no worky-worky.
Somebody get a straitjacket.

Old rooting methods not working yah...
What I have done -
1. fastboot using factory cable
2. install TWRP+FFF with KFU
3.flash modified pre-rooted ROM
If Amazon continues updating 1st gen, not sure there are lots of enthusiasts, who would continue rooting it. Thus decided to switch to alternative ROM. Well, stock is better for battery etc... etc... but as I do also have HDX and most of time use it, having stock ROM on 1st gen is not as crucial for me.

According to this post (and the post above^^), if you have a factory cable (special cable used to power on in bootloader mode), you can revert to a custom recovery and bootloader and then flash a 6.3.2 ROM. Problem then is avoiding another OTA.

no toot for 6.3.3, cmd other otherwise

To root new update 6.3.3, you need a fastboot/factory cable, adb/ fastboot.exe files, FFF bootloader.bin, twrp.img, and my prerooted 6.3.3 zip

[Q] Rooting Kindle Fire 1st Gen 6.3.4

Hey all!
I'm sorry if there's a post about this somewhere and I missed it but I looked and couldn't find anything.
I recently bought a 1st gen Kindle Fire off a friend of mine and I want to root it so I can have a bit more usability than what it comes with. The problem is that it's running 6.3.4 and I've only been seeing root help and tools for 6.3.2 and lower. I tried using the KFU but the root tool there wasn't able to perform the necessary operations (it just restarts in fastboot and won't continue from there). Does anyone have any tips or advice for how I would still be able to root this device? I've even looked into trying to revert back to 6.3.2 but haven't found anything that allows for that.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

Okay, so I followed all of the steps to the letter on the first post you listed and its rooted and have Google apps on there now through KFU. The problem is now that I can't install TWRP or FireFireFire. It goes back to not working in fastboot. I'm pretty new to rooting but I want to put some version of android onto this but I can't find any troubleshoot for this particular problem.

When I try to push the fbmode file to the kindle it keeps saying device not found (adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp). Its one of the first steps. I have the drivers installed and the computer is recognizing the device is connected but it's not going any further. I tried reinstalling the drivers but nothing's worked so far.

I did, and then when I was ready to do it myself I put it back on with the intention of following you step by step but I got stopped right here in the beginning. I have the C drive adb folder with all of the files you listed and I verified each download.

I've tried it with two different USB cables in every port on my computer with no luck. I even tried my old Motorola USB cable that I used to root my Droid years ago with no success.

I haven't been able to push any other rom to it but I did use KFU to install Google Play and GoLauncher but beyond that I haven't done anything else to it.
