When I connect the charger or usb cabe to the computer my kindle shuts down immediately. It is charging (no lights are lit), but not possible to turn it on until I disconnect the USB cable. Any ideas? (not rooted device, but it was rooted once, the 6.2 update unrooted it and I can't get it recognized (and root) on the PC since. Now it is even shutting down (crashes) when I connect it

Any ideas?

Ok a big thanks to b63

I am closer to unbricking this I just have a problem at the mount command . Windows will not let me move the update zip without formatting the drive . I get the feeling that this is a big NO NO so if someone can point me to the right direction that would be a help I am in the process of looking for it myself but a little help is always welcomed Oh I am Using Vista 64

Okay I got the info here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20707200#post20707200 kindle is unbricked Thanks again
[Kindle Fire General] Mama Luigi:
I think I have a similar issue. This all started when I went to resize my partitions. After resizing the Kindle wouldn't boot (kept going back to recovery). I tried numerous tips I found but nothing worked.

At some point, I decided to try installing CM7 - after all, my data partition had just been wiped anyway, so what's the harm? I pushed the CM7 zip to my sdcard partition using adb and installed. Everything seemed to go fine, but again, I couldn't actually boot. This time, if I pressed the power button, it would go to recovery, but if I didn't, I'd just get a black screen (CM7 was supposed to be starting up but it never did, no splash screen or anything).

After letting it sit for a long time I finally gave up and searched some more. Came across someone with the same problem in the CM7 thread so I went through the same steps someone else told him - he was told to remake his partition map. Daunting, for sure, but I was desperate to get this thing working again. I remade my partition map. After that...

Well, since then, I haven't been able to even get to recovery. The worst part is I can't even see the Kindle on ADB. It's extremely frustrating and scary because almost all the suggestions I've read on unbricking involve using ADB commands. Now I have a portable screen displaying a yellow triangular sign. I guess when I remade the partition map it wiped out the recovery mode, but I should still be able to connect via ADB, right? I used Kindle Fire Utility to install TWRP before and it worked fine, but now without even being able to see the Kindle, I'm really worried. I don't know how to fix this.

I've tried numerous times to reinstall the drivers. I also tried using a different computer and installing the drivers there, but it's been stuck installing them for about half an hour now (it's given me the same red dialog box asking if I really want to install them three times now). I KNOW it should work with my main computer. Why would ADB stop working? Why can't my computer see my Kindle anymore?

EDIT: Additional info: Both computers are using Windows 7 64 bit. Like I said, ADB was WORKING on my main PC for a long time before it just stopped! Still can't get the drivers installed on the second computer. And on both computers, when I plug it in, it says "Device Not Recognized" and doesn't show up in the device manager at all.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
if your on the yellow triangle the kf is in fastboot mode - adb commands will not work

would install the newest fff: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369405

then you can issue "fastboot oem format" to restore factory partitioning

update your drivers first - adb and fastboot use different drivers

you can check if its connected in fastboot mode by:

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product - it should return "kindle"

then - if you need - you can do the same as guy in the post above yours
[Kindle Fire General] Mama Luigi:
Thank you so much for coming to my aid but I have no idea where the fastboot drivers are or how to install them. I've never seen them mentioned anywhere else. I tried restarting my computer but there was no change - my Kindle still does not show up in the device manager, it does not show up in adb, and it does not show up in fastboot.

I've searched for fastboot drivers but couldn't find anything at all about them on the forums... could you point me in the right direction?

I think the biggest problem here is that there is nothing Android- or Kindle-related in my Device Manager. I've searched and found several instances of people in similar situations to my own, but in nearly every case they at least had something in their Device Manager. I don't have that. I don't know how to uninstall and reinstall my drivers.

EDIT: Slight progress. I tried having my device manager open while plugging in the Kindle. Windows makes the little "device connected" sound, and a device called Android Phone appears briefly. Then the "device disconnected" sound happens, and it disappears from device manager. It will connect once more and then disconnect again, and that's it. Only way to get it to appear again is to power off, unplug, and plug it back in. It only shows up for a few seconds each time and I'm not sure it's enough to actually do anything.

EDIT 2: Slightly more progress. I plugged it in, waited for it to show up in device manager, and quickly opened it up, right clicked, and chose "uninstall driver." It briefly appeared under "other devices" as "kindle" with a little yellow triangle next to it. Then it disappeared again. Turning it off and back on does the exact same thing now, except instead of showing up as Android Phone in the device manager, it now shows up as a kindle in other devices. But either way, it's still appearing and disappearing from device manager very quickly. I think this is the primary problem; I can't get it to STAY in device manager. It's as though the device itself is only on for a short period of time after booting and then turns off or something. If I simply unplug and replug the Kindle, it will not show back up - it'll only show up if I turn it off and back on.
[Kindle Fire General] Rahkso:
You are the greatest, saved my life, it worked like a charm after a lot of trouble trying Kindle Unbrick Utility, and Kindle Fire Tools, my problem was that I messed the permission on the Google Market apk and rendered the system inaccessible when booting, anyway now it works, I have root, Google Market and a lot more, Thanks again
[Kindle Fire General] Mama Luigi:
I THINK I FIXED IT!!!

Here's a complete rundown on what happened. As I mentioned before, my Kindle was showing up only briefly in the device manager, just after I would turn it on, and then it would disappear, reappear for a few more seconds, and disappear again permanently. Worrisome to say the least, since I wasn't able to find anyone else with that same problem.

Thanks to b63's advice, I was able to run fastboot. What I did was turn the Kindle off, enter:

fastboot oem format

so it says waiting for device, then turn it on. As soon as it found the Kindle it said "FAILED (remote failure)". But after that, the device would stay in the device manager and didn't disappear! It now appears as an "Android Composite ADB Interface" under "Android Phone." No yellow triangle.

Now that I wasn't under time pressure, I tried pushing TWRP 2.0 to it using:

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

And it worked! The Kindle then rebooted into recovery and it says "install complete." I entered the command:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001

pressed reboot, then entered:

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Now I'm looking at the main TWRP screen. ADB works. Yay!

Now if I can only resize those partitions...

EDIT: My resized partitions were still intact. No more of that headache now. At this point I installed CM7, but it wouldn't take until I did a "factory reset" from within TWRP. Once I did that, it installed normally. I used the idme bootmode commands to force it to boot to the system instead of recovery. The CM7 boot screen showed up and now I have a functioning Kindle Fire again!

hey guys

im stuck on the kindle fire logo

- i have 6.22

- i did perm root with burrito (worked ok)

- i used kf utility 0.93 to install twrp recovery

- something went wrong with windows drivers during the process

now i am completely stuck, device not recognised by windows

also, im using a mac since many years now and im really no longer familiar with win drivers

sometimes the fire is shown as unknown device sometimes like adb composite

kindle fire utility and adb do not see the device

tried on xp and win 7

any idea would be really appreciated, thank you!
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
to use xp for this is the better choice

would try to update the drivers:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20945694&postcount=506

then use kfu option 1 -> bootmode normal
[Kindle Fire General] sputnickita:
thanks for your reply

can you please confirm that the drivers included in kfu are ok on xp?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
they are ok - i'm using them by myself on xp

they are in the drivers\kindle subdirectory

thanks!

thanks man, i really appreciated your help

i was able to boot the kindle using your instructions

I was tricked by the fact that kfu was still reporting the device as offline

do you think i can now proceed to install recovery without touching the drivers?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
you can procced installing twrp but i can't say if you have to touch the drivers

that depends if you have allready the right drivers installed for the two modes:

normal & recovery boot -> android composite adb interface -> adb commands YES - fastboot commands NO

fastboot mode -> android adb interface -> adb commands NO -> fastboot commands YES

nevertheless i think you should have the right ones installed now

if you use kfu:

[Kindle Fire General] b63:
i think you try to install twrp (the custom recovery) which also installs fff (firefirefire - the custom bootloader) - is this right ?

if so then it is very likely that your kf is stuck in fastboot now

do as described from the dev of kfu:

and redo the installation

furthermore please read the op of kfu - espacially the "known tricks"

Kindle Fire stuck at FFF logo

My kindle fire is stuck at the yellow triangle for FFF and won't boot past it and isn't recognized by my computer in device manager. Any sugestions?

I get the device not found error.
[Kindle Fire General] emer1984:
I have never posted before but was hoping to get a little help. I ran into the "stuck on the yellow triangle" problem, and have done all the googling and reading I can think of without any luck. I flashed the new MIUI using TWRP, it appeared to complete just fine, but then when i hit "reboot", it did not get past the Yellow triangle bootscreen. I cannot get back into TWRP by holding the power button, and I can't do anything with Kindle Fire Utility because the Kindle will not show up as mounted, even though it shows up in device manager and says drivers are up to date. I also tried to use the Kindle Unbrick Utility but no luck there either since it just says device not found. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
please look 3 posts up - you have exactly the same problem

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

[Kindle Fire General] evanjos2:
It's not the same problem. Neither my kindle or adb composite device show up in device manager.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
ok - then let's look further into it

have you tried to power it down by holding pwr ~20sec ?

does the computer the typical dingding if you power it up or unplug/replug ?

what os/bit ?

it is in fastboot mode now - adb will not work in fastboot

have to fix the drivers first - here a quite long post about that:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22342376&postcount=6

hope that helps ...

if not ask further or gimme a pm ...
[Kindle Fire General] evanjos2:
I have powered it on and off by holding the power button. The computer makes no noise or notification when I plug or unplug the kindle or power cycle it while plugged in. I have tried reinstalling the drivers with kfu and I have tried changing the boot mode using kfu but I just get waiting for device and nthing happens I have tried powered cycling while it was waiting for device also. In device manager there is no adb composite or kindle fire at all.
[Kindle Fire General] emer1984:
This is basically where I'm at as well. The only difference is that when I plug mine in, it mounts, I get the popup that says its mounted and useable, but that only lasts about 5 seconds and then it un-mounts. it repeats this same thing 2 more times, and then stays un-mounted. No idea what to do to get back into recovery and restore this thing.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
what os of computer ?

you use the drivers of kfu ?

sometimes this helps (cause the computer thinks it is still connected):

power down kf, disconnect, power down computer (no restart) and power computer on, plug kf in without powering on (should do it by itself)

sometimes using an other usb port is also a good idea

manually uninstalling drivers you don't see:

xp:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us

vista & win7:http://www.petri.co.il/removing-old-drivers-from-vista-and-windows7.htm

have an other cable to try ?

no more ideas atm ...

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

to clarify:

it boots into the os ? or do you mean it shows up in device manager ?

still stuck on the triangle ?

update : ok i think you mean the device manager

do you have the latest kfu available ?

assume you have it available:

open an (elevated) command prompt and cd to the tools folder of kfu (eg c:\kfu\tools)

issue "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001" - if it says <waiting for device> power down the kf by holding pwr ~20sec - pwr on again - the command should be finished - pwr off/on again - it should boot to twrp
[Kindle Fire General] emer1984:
Yes I have the latest KFU. To be clear, when I plug it in, I get the BEEP-BEEP sound from Windows that happens anytime you plug in a USB. The small tray icon with a check mark pops up, and if I click on that tray icon real quick, it says "Android ADB Interface" Then 5 seconds later, the reverse sound that happens when you unplug a USB and that icon disappears. This repeats once, sometimes twice more and then is gone, and its as if nothing is plugged in.

Also, I just followed your link to uninstall hidden drivers, did that, but got the same result when I plugged the Kindle in. as soon as it reinstalled the drivers, it un-mounted. Used a different cord this time as well, to no avail.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
just updated my last post - try this - it should fix it ...

that was'nt meant for you - your computer allready recognises the kf
[Kindle Fire General] emer1984:
I am admittedly a noob when it comes to command prompt, so I wanted to ask, before I go ape **** on google trying to figure out how to do what you suggested, is this the same as doing the following:

open KFU and open Bootmode menu

select Recovery

this gives me the <waiting for device>

plug in Kindle and it turns on, then immediately reboots and KFU says "the kindle has been told to reboot in Recovery Mode" press any key...

But then the Kindle is still stuck on the triangle, never gets to TWRP.

If not, and its something that needs to be done in C-prompt, then I am afraid I would need noob-like instructions, but I hate to be that guy.

EDIT: Google is my friend, I did figure out how to execute the command, and it didn't change anything. Still no recovery. Thank you, by the way, for trying to help, this is driving me nuts.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
it's basically the same - did it pick up the command ?

the command should finish - try to pwr off/on again

Stuck in Fastboot...tried everything

I recently rooted my daughter's kindle using burrito root, installed TWRP, created a backup, then flashed MIUI. After flashing and rebooting, the kindle is stuck on the yellow triangle. I have read the entire string of posts and tried the following, all to no avail...

1) KFU...ADB Status offline...went into boot menu, chose normal boot, let it go to "Waiting for Device", powered off Kindle, then back on and KFU reported as successful....on reboot, though, still goes back to yellow triangle

2) issued fastboot -i 0x1949 -w which did wipe data successfully

3) issued fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 400 which finished successfully

4) rebooted, but still on yellow triangle

5) all along the way, I have checked to see if I can issue adb commands and the device is never recognized

6) I have uninstalled adb drivers (removed files from computer) and reinstalled a couple of times using KFU

This is a very brief summary of what I have done. I have tried several combinations with hard resets at various points. I was hopefull because I can issue fastboot commands, but can't seem to get out of fastboot mode.

I am at the point of desperation...Any help would be greatly appreciated.

same issue - flashed with MIUI

Edit. Followed instructions from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22433402&postcount=4 and managed to get to TWRP, leaving it charging now, I think part of my problem PC couldn't see the device was because my kindle was really low on battery, ~ 3%. I wont be flashing to a MIUI anytime soon.

Just downloaded the MIUI ROM several times, and everytime I get an error with MD5
[Kindle Fire General] Emelianenko:
I'm having trouble fixing my Kindle Fire. After using BurritoRoot to root it, I had been using FileExpert to change the permissions of files. I was trying to change the permissions or mount /system/app and it went wrong.

The Kindle Fire rebooted and it is now stuck on a screen telling me that it detected a problem and must clear App storage. It attempts to recover but then it just boots to the same screen telling me to recover again.

I've tried several different methods of unbricking the device, none of them seem to work.

Here's the message I most commonly get:

C:\kf>adb shell

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

C:\kf>adb devices

List of devices attached

7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx1 recovery

(masked SN)

Here you can see it is recognizing the device as in recovery mode. However when I attempt to use adb to open a shell that error message "No such file or directory comes up"

Yes, I have the correct driver installed. I have actually reinstalled the driver a few times manually to make sure it is correct. It is showing up as ADB composite as so:

(image of device manager)

Attempting to use the KFU gives me similar errors, for example when I try to set the device to normal boot:

another "failed: No such file or directory (2)" error

So this is where I am. Windows definitely sees the device so the drivers are working, however for some reason I cannot use adb on the device without getting "no such file or directory" errors.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: I tried posting some images to show you the error but you can't do that on a fairly new account. The error is what I mentioned above though.

EDIT2: Looks like I need a factory cable.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
your edit2 is correct

the system shell is messed up - therefor you have no possibility to get to fastboot mode

this is the check for the messed up shell:
