[Q] stuck at "teamwin" logo - twrp does not start - HELP!

hi
first of all iam from germany so my english is not that good.
i got a kindle fire a week ago from a friend. it was not rooted but in a bootloop.
somehow i managed to install twrp via the kf utility. unfortunally it was version 2.1.1.1 so i was not able to install a other rom via sideload.
i also tried the soupkit.
the last idea was that i just copy the zip file onto the device. it stuck in the middle an after 20 minutes i decided to abort.
now the kf just stuck at the "teamwin" logo right before entering the twrp interface.
i tried to reinstall twrp but that didnt worked. i also tired the unbrick tool with no result.
i have a factory cable too.
if you guys have any ideas please let me know!
thanks

nobody really...?

Just speculation. If this had the kindle software on it, then my guess is it tried to update to the 6.3.3 version, which is currently a real problem. Go to this thread and follow the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2790183
Once you are rooted, please install a different wonderful rom, like kitkat, so that Amazon does not dump on you again!

what bootloader is installed, do you see a press power for bootmenu?
likely need adb/fastboot.exe files from KFU, download a twrp.img from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/blaze,
latest is openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.img
verify md5 check sum
move adb/fastboot files (AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, fastboot.exe)
and twrp.img to same folder like c:adb
connect fastboot cable to kindle powered off, connect to pc, power on kindle
if you have non stock bootloader use
open command prompt
cd\adb
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.img
fastboot reboot
if you have stock bootloader you also need FFF bootloader.bin
verify md5 check sum
open command prompt
cd\adb
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

i did. at first everything looks good.
after rebooting the screen stayed black (green power light was on) and windwos played the "connected - disconnected" sounds for a while.
when i tryed to reset the kf (20sec power button) and turned it back on the problem was the same... is there any way to completley erase the kf without twrp? and if yes can i use ur methode to install twrp and flash a rom?

While pictures are lovely, could you explain what you were doing to install the rom? The steps you took can help others give you directions.

the rom you are installing is for stock partitions, the bootloader you have is for OtterX partition roms
did you use advanced options to change partitions? if so you need a different rom or change back to stock kindle partitions
recovery may be toast
in device manager, do you see an android phone, if so drivers should be good

download a otterx twrp.img like otterx-twrp-2.7.0.1-recovery-f2fs.img
verify md5 checksum https://sites.google.com/site/sdshadowscollection/home/hash-checksums
.
copy otterx-twrp-2.7.0.1-recovery-f2fs.img to adb folder
when you see the bootloader screen (like your posted pic)
press the power button once to open bootmenu, that will give you a couple of minutes before it continues boot to rom
then try the
fastboot reboot-bootloader
kindle show reboot to fastboot screen
then
fastboot flash recovery otterx-twrp-2.7.0.1-recovery-f2fs.img
fastboot reboot
if that works download a compatible OtterX rom
and follow directions on how to push rom and gapps to twrp

[Q] Bricked (Stuck) Kindle Fire 6.3.2

My Kindle Fire is 6.3.2.
I tried to root it using KFU. I went to install_drivers.bat, and it says "google, inc- Winusb failed." For some stupid reason, i chose to ignore that and went on to root through the KFU and "Install permanent root with superuser" and now it says
Fastboot uses a different device than ADB.
You should check device manager for "Kindle" or "Amazon"
If you see it, rerun the driver installer that came packaged with KFU
Installing FFF...
<waiting for device>
So I am now stuck on a permanent logo screen (Black and orange), with no animation. I can turn it off and on.
Pretty much everything I try to do ends with "waiting for device."
I believe it has something to do with missing drivers, although I am not entirely sure on any of this at this point.

Windows 7 or 8?
Sent from my XT862 using Tapatalk

Maybe try the unbrick utility.
I'm having some issues with the KFU myself, after installing the drivers Windows device manager no longer sees the Kindle when it's stock booted. I can mount from TWRP but it appears under Portable devices as E:/ , not Kindle. Root and installation of google apps did not take, though it ran to completion and said all done. KFU hangs when it tries to activated Fastboot (4002) so many of the other options of KFU wont run.

So obviously I'm trying to install a ROM (Jellybean/ Cyanamogen). From this point, how would I go about doing that?
I just really don't want to screw this up again.

Ok, now I have another problem, with a completely different Kindle (6.3.2)
I've installed FFF and TWRP, and I'm trying to install Jellybean 4.2.2 on it through TWRP.
When I'm trying to move the ROM and GAPPS zips to the G: folder, it won't show up, even though the kindle is recognized as..
Android Phone
Android ADB Composite Interface
I'm almost positive this is because the Kindle has a passcode on it, which i forgot to remove before this whole process. This wouldn't be a huge deal, as a factory reset through TWRP would erase the pass code anyways. However, after I do the factory reset successfully, and then go to reboot-system, it will go back to the blue/white logo, then go to the white/orange unanimated logo, which it gets stuck at.
If there was a way to get the files onto the SD without going through the conventional way, it wouldn't be an issue, but i don't know of way to

You used fastboot.exe to flash twrp and bootloader, right?
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
so you have adb.exe that came with it, use adb.exe to push rom and gapps to sd card
place rom and gapps files in c:adb folder use exact file names
Code:
adb push romname.zip /sdcard
adb push gappsname.zip /sdcard

Did you get drivers installed?

x2110311x said:
Well, I tried that, and I ended up bricking my kindle (most likely because I tried the experimental version of his binaries) and neither of my computers (one runs linux, one Windows) are able to see the device correctly. Windows shows it as an unknown device, but I have the fastboot drivers installed. That's why I said I need a factory cable, hoping that I'd be able to get it into fastboot to repair it

I have little experience with Linux, but windows will not work till drivers are correct.
Did you in device manager uninstall unknown device, remove driver if asked, install drivers with Kindle Fire Utility's install.drivers.bat, reboot pc and kindle
may take a few reboots to get it.

I've done work with fastboot on my kindle fire with this computer before, probably only like a month ago, so I don't think that was the issu

Sorry, I didn't mean to say binaries, I wrote that response in a rush.
I used Pokey9000's experimental version of fbmode.
Right now, whenever I try turning it on, the green LED stays on, and it just stays at the "Kindle Fire " screen. Neither fastboot nor adb are recognizing it at this point.

If all you used is the alt fbmode file, it is likely in fastboot mode, which just shows Kindle fire screen with no animation.
If there is animation on the kindle fire screen, it's bootlooping...

It turns out that it was just stuck in fastboot, and windows was having some issues. I did nothing to the drivers, and it worked fine after trying again

Stuck on Kindle Fire(Doesn't Change) screen
Hello,
Sorry if this is addressed somewhere else, as I have been unable to find it.
I successfully rooted my kindle fire, then made it all the way to the "fastboot" part of step 6 of the fff and twrp post. The command prompt stuck at waiting for device. The kindle fire is now stuck on the unchanging kindle fire logo. I have tried the unbricking utility, holding the power button down for 20 sec. removing the device and drivers under device manager(I saw this somewhere else).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Which windows version? 7, 8?

It is listed as 'other devices' and then kindle in the drop down from that. I am running windows 8.1 at the moment.
Btw, thank you so much for the help you've already provided, the youtube video and your posts really helped me figure out how to troubleshoot and eventually root it successfully.

With windows 8, You need to disable driver signature enforcement, before installing drivers, and use the Instal.drivers.bat from Kindle Fire Utility

That took care of it. Thank you so much!

Can't root KindleFire
hi I am trying to root my kindle but it does work I use the Saferoot way and it does work

Corrupted settings.db- stuck in boot loop
Help, I toasted my Kindle Fire!
Ok, now that I got that out of the way, here's the details. I followed the steps from SDShadow's first post on how to root my Kindle Fire (6.3.3) and it worked great. Many thanks SDShadow! What followed was how I went off the reservation.
My purpose in rooting was to change 'mock_locations' to 1 so that I can receive GPS position over wifi and use my Kindle screen for navigation. Being focused on my end goal, I did not take the time to install Google Apps or FFF or TWRP. My mistake. Another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19688907&postcount=1) gave directions to do update 'mock_locations', but as with others on that thread, I ran into permission errors. Unable to figure out SQLite3, but able to find the 'settings.db' using ESFileExplorer, I managed to corrupt the file.
Not knowing how to test the updated 'settings.db' in any way, I copied the corrupted version to my Kindle and rebooted. The Kindle never finished booting, and that's when I realized that I must have corrupted the file. But now I can't copy my backup file where it needs to go because my Kindle never finishes booting to give me access to ESFileExplorer on the Kindle. I still have adb access to the Kindle from my computer, but still get permission errors when I try to push a file.
Is there a workaround to upload my backup settings.db file through adb, or do I need a factory cable? Does the workaround involve installing FFF and TWRP through adb while the Kindle is in its reboot loop? Either way, can someone provide detailed instructions for that?
BTW, I figured out how to modify my settings.db using SQLite3 Browser on my PC. So I can actually upload my desired file, if I can figure out how. But if I could perform a check in some way, that would be good...

best option is fastboot cable, but you can try some adb commands like
Code:
adb devices
you will need adb files
power off kindle, run command, turn on kindle, also can try
Code:
fastboot devices
if you get one of them to work we have some options

does show my Kindle serial number. As I said, adb seems to be working, despite the fact that the Kindle doesn't complete the boot process.
I have not installed or tried fastboot on my PC, so I can't answer whether that works.
Edit: I should mention that when the Kindle was still running, I allowed just about every permission in the on-Kindle superuser app.

Bricked 1st Gen KF.

Howdy all, I have an old KF here that I have bricked. I'm stuck at the logo. I'm trying to issue shell commands and I get the "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)" error. So far I've found that this means I screwed up my /system when I tried getting this thing back to stock. I cannot remember what I was running on it earlier today.
I do know that I downloaded a factory update.zip and installed that from TWRP. I wiped everything before hand. I'm afraid wiping the SD card after installing the update.zip may have caused me to be stuck at the logo without being able to issue shell commands? I've tried the KindleFireUtility and KindleUnbrickUtility and a few things with soupkit. Nothing is working.
I seem to have found a few hints that there are indeed workarounds to this problem without having to make or buy a factory cable. I'm terrible at soldering.. much better at typing in terminals.
If there is any help out there, I would massively appreciate it.
All I want to do is read a d*** book.
-Ellison
UPDATE:
I bought a fastboot cable.
It appears that I can boot in to fastboot mode (Kindle Fire logo, green light, and screen never dims) but I think at some point, the device gets lost. I installed the android bootloader ADB drivers for the fastboot mode. If I start the kindle without the factory cable and it boots normally and sits at the logo screen forever, it gets listed as an ADB device. While the kindle is still attached, I can reboot it in to what I am assuming is fastboot mode. My Windows10 rig sees it as a composite ADB bootloader interface. But I can't get unBrickUtility to do anything... the only thing I saw it do to the kindle was wipe the userdata. Other than that, UnBrickUtility cannot see my kindle in fastboot mode.
Unplugging my factory cable and plugging it back in causes the kindle to be completely unrecognized ( unknown usb device set address failed) on Windows 10.
I have soupkit running on a netbook... it tells me that my shell is damaged, which I know is the problem. But now I'm not sure what to do next as I can't get linux (mint) to recognize my kindle in fastboot mode either.
I really hope someone out there has been here before and can help. I'd love to see this thing running back to normal again.

UPDATE: I FIXED IT.
What ultimately saved this device was being able to get in to fastboot mode. I bough the cable, flashed FFF and TWRP from fastboot mode. I then found I could not run shell commands. I fixed this by running
Code:
fastboot oem format
from fastboot mode. Then going back in to TWRP, I was able to mount /System and was then able to use Soupkit's kindle fire utility to fix the /sdcard. The version of TWPR I was using would not flash the stock update, so I downloaded and flashed that. Afet that installed, I was able to flash the stock update and now I'm up and running again! WOO! Thank you so much for the developers here!!!
Admin: can I get the thread title so reflect the fact that I have fixed this for future users? Thank you!

most likely need a fastboot cable
did you try command
adb devices

I have a question, I acquired from a guy from another repair shop a couple first gen kindle fire's and one has the red screen upon boot. I have tried to attach it to my pc and I get a USB driver error. Says can't install driver even though I have the driver installed. Also when it pops up in device manager it shows up as Otter 2 prod 4. Only thing I can think of is the person before me flashed the kindle fire hd bootloader to the device. Any ideas on a fix? I have a fastboot cable if that helps. Also when I attach the device to my computer it shows me fast boot with a flashing green light and a solid red one.

Yeah I know, that's what I was saying. Whoever had this thing before me flashed it with the kindle fire 2 rom or whatever not entirely sure. The model number is D10400 which is the first gen. Any clue if it can be saved? Right now I can't get it to connect to my PC or I'd just flash it

i think Amazon used D10400 for both 1st and 2nd generation fires
at least there have been several people ask about a D10400 with a 2nd generation bootloader, trying to flash 1st generation bootloader has always ended up with a bricked device
but if it doesn't connect to pc now, cannot do anything anyways
