[Kindle Fire General] toasterjack:
Is the logo animated (flashy） or still? If still, you might be in fastboot.

I had a problem with Go Launcher EX too. Tell me exactly what happened when you turn on the kindle fire up to the point it gets stuck
[Kindle Fire General] webmastertroi:
Ok. So like right now, the kindle is turned off. If I hit the power button (as we normally would to power up), the "kindle fire" graphic shows up. It starts animating as usual, as though it's loading the OS. But then after about 25sec or so, it disappears and quickly reappears, starting the same animation again. And again. And Again... :(

I've even tried attaching the USB cable while it's looping and open Terminal and type:

adb devices

But of course it always says No devices found because it can't connect...

*shrugs*
[Kindle Fire General] toasterjack:
3 things still unclear

1. when connected to Mac, does it have the 'ding' to show the device is recognized?

2. when the boot it looped, does the button color stay green or shuts off for a minute second?

3. Do you ever see the lock screen before boot-loop?

Here are two things to try out

1. Force-closing by pushing 20 seconds on the power button. Then plug the USB cable into the Mac and let fire boot by itself.

2. Plug it into a PC, and continue there.

(I did part 1-3 on PC, fastboot on Mac)

just making sure, did you type

./adb-mac devices?

because that is the command for Mac, I believe.
[Kindle Fire General] webmastertroi:
"Ding"? Not that I'm aware of. The only way I ever know if my kindle (or any other android device) is connected is if I type "adb devices" in Terminal. Otherwise, I know it's connected when the kindle's storage drive appears in Finder (File Explorer).

When I first turn it on, the button color is green, and the "kindle fire" graphic isn't animating. Then the button color and the graphic disappears for a SPLIT second and both pop right back to green light and graphic which begins animating.

No, never. Just the boot animation, and repeat thereof.

Yes, I use the correct syntax ./ in Terminal

However I cannot attach to a PC because I don't have a PC.. only iMac and Macbook. Funny thing is, I have been using my Macs to root the kindle, push apps with adb and everything without needing a PC. Is PC the only way to get out of boot loop???
[Kindle Fire General] toasterjack:
Hey I never had my own Mac either. I went to an Apple franchise store, and started from there.

What you could do too, is take everything you need to install extracted to a USB, and go to any PC shop with a demo laptop and proceed from there.

_________

But does the device show up in finder?

________________

Ok here is something that is really strange for me, but it worked.

Kindle is usually not recognized unless the battery is completely drained, and then charged (I charge it for 1 or 2 min) and connect. That is the only way that my PC and the store's Mac recognized MY kindle.

Furthermore, if you charge it, unplug and replug, the device is again not recognized. Hence I only charge it for 1 to 2 min, as for my kindle to drain its batteries and then reconnect easier.

You might wish to try that
[Kindle Fire General] webmastertroi:
See the thing I don't understand is, what difference will it make whether I access via PC or Mac? If it's stuck looping in the animation, how will adb ever get a chance to "talk" to the kindle?

_________

Not anymore.. not since this looping started at boot.

Okay, So I was trying to put TWRP 2.0 on my Fire. When I tried that, it froze at boot screen but was able to fix that using fastboot commands. I then tried to access TWRP but that didn't do anything it would just boot back into CM7 every time. So, I decided to try to factory restore it using the unbricking method. That seems to have failed and now my device is only recognized on the computer for close to 10 seconds then the drivers seem to fail and it is shown as not plugged in. ADB and Fastboot seem to not be working. Has this happened to anybody else, or did I just royally f' myself?
[Kindle Fire General] crashit:

Thank you for this post, it helped me to solve the problem.

instead of delete boomsh rename it

then run the command, if you get something like this:

continue with the procedure, then when you run the command idme and reboot the node maybe you wont see your devide

$ idme bootmode 4002

idme bootmode 4002

$ exit

exit

then run the fastboot and if it does not work just cancel it:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

erasing 'userdata'... ^C

C:\Users\eerimez\android-sdks\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

after that you will see your kindle fire as recovery

try to fix your kindle pishing the button 20 seconds and you will get your kindle fire back.

it helped me a lot,

you will find the "zergRush" in the folder Exploits of superoneclick which you used to root your kindle fire.

Kindle Fire Won't Go Into TWRP Recovery

I rooted my Kindle Fire today (12/19/11) using Superoneclick. I then installed TWRP via Kindle Fire Utility. All I have on my screen now is a triangular yellow sign with a picture of fire on it and instructions to "Press Power Button For Recovery". The power button does nothing. Windows 7 no longer sees my device regardless if I reinstall the latest Google USB driver from the Android SDK or not. I can't run ADB and Fastboot to unbrick my device since the device is no longer seen by Windows. Help!!!!
[Kindle Fire General] webmastertroi:
Ok, so for some unexplainable reason, I got my iMac to recognize that my kindle is attached (unlike my Macbook, which never sees it while it's boot looping). Yes, I am still in boot loop though. I think my problem is I never make it into fastboot mode.

When I am in adb, I can see that my kindle is rooted (the permissions pop up in the Terminal) but when I get to the fastboot part, it always returns "permission denied" for any command I enter.

If I've gotten this kindle to talk to adb via Terminal (on Mac) while it's in boot loop mode, there HAS to be a way to push it even further and get it to wipe the system and back to stock... right?

Help!!!! :(

***EDIT: i figured it out! :)

I plan to post a solution thread for Mac users asap...

[Kindle Fire General] FireJunior:
I have already rooted, and try to install the TWRP by using the Kindle Fire Utility v.3 but bricked. It would boot and just shown the Kindle fire boot screen (non-flashing) with the power button in green color.

I tried to install the driver again, but wouldn't work as the device is recognized as an unknown device. By selecting the driver file won't install at all, so I can't proceed on any adb commands. Anything I can do to install the drivers? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] Ramer:
Are you still on 6.2 and did not get the update? If so, the instructions found here fixed it for me yesterday.
[Kindle Fire General] mjp_motw:
Same here, device manager says "unknown device" and Kindle Fire Utility v.3 says

ADB Status: Offline
Boot Status: 4002
Fastboot Status: Offline

Of course, if windows can't see the kindle, the Fire Utility can't do nothing.

Reboot as suggested here -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20421225&postcount=222 and after a few reboots of Kindle and PC and fiddling with device manager I finally got a "kindle"in my device manager and was able to install "ADB Interface" but only have SAMSUNG ADB entries, I chose one and Fastboot seems online:

ADB Status: Offline
Boot Status: 4002
Fastboot Status: Online

As ADB is offline we can't use "adb shell" commands to change bootmode. We need to use fastboot.exe as it is online.

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

but fastboot is missing adbwinapi.dll so it need to run in FireUtility\tools\ where the dll is and the fastboot commands works and my kindle boots again :)

Now I can access TWRP :)
[Kindle Fire General] FireJunior:
Hi Ramer84015 and sl0ttedpig,

Thanks and my Fire works now. I did drain the battery then re-connected it, and the computer can recognize the device with adb interface. I ran the fastboot under the Fire Utility v3\tools directory in DOS mode, and it worked. Now the device is back to normal.

I will have to try to install TWRP later. Thanks a lot.

hi, i try install cm7 work fine, but i dont know wipe all for error and try install update.zip again and no work, now only see twr menu and no more, how i can install kindle fire os, or reinstall cm7, please. is a gift for good person.
[Kindle Fire General] Wotta:
I followed the instructions in the Dev forum (which despite being a published dev and reasonably long-term member here, I can't post in), and soft-bricked mine too. The trouble is that the front page directions are a bit incomplete.

Between ADB and Fastboot, you need to Exit ADB; Fastboot is a separate app.

In addition, after Fastboot and TWRP install but before TWRP reboot, you have to change the device ID again using ADB. (If you don't, you can do it by fastboot installing again and then doing the ADB. Realizing there are probably easier ways, but this is the semi-blind saying how I got through it.

As far as I can tell, and other thing that isn't made real clear, once TWRP is installed the Kindle will ALWAYS boot into the error screen for 12.75 seconds or so (according to my timing ;) ), before beginning the 39 second or so Kindle boot. 13 seconds doesn't sound like long, but it feels like long when holding your hand in boiling water, dangling over a precipice holding onto a slippery branch, or waiting for your electronic device's error screen to clear.

I rooted my kf with 1click and installed market my kg bricked when i trued to change keyboard and messed with one of the system Files. I cannot root my kf using the zergrush - it writes cannot find path. On super1click it says i still have root but when i tried all

The suggested offers in this thread it said i don't have permission.

I managed to erase all user data and reboot but it still stuck in bootloop. I also managed to move from ADB to fastboot mode.

Any suggestions ?

edit: solved.....

for about a week I've been trying all the suggestions posted in this thread and in other ones.

after not being able to preform temporary root, I managed to put the KF in recovery mode like described in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1372207&page=3 and then push the original files i changed: /system/framework/framework.jar

/system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so

/system/lib/libwebcore.so

also pushed the framework-res.apk - just in case...

and after rebooting... the KF went back into the welcome screen

thanks anyway

hope I've been helpful

[Kindle Fire General] elscorcho88:
Let me preface by saying that I think I've read every post in this thread twice, and I'm still unable to unbrick my Kindle Fire.

Obviously, I tried the method presented in the OP, but I get the "-exec failed /system/bin/sh (2)" error when I try to adb shell. zergRush copies successfully to the device, but I just can't run it.

My understanding is the only other thing I can do at that point is to put it in to Fastboot and then flash an image from there. I can't temp root my device either (because I can't run adb shell), so I can't get in to Fastboot. I get hung up on the <waiting for device> error.

I know my KF is connecting to the computer because it is listed when i run "adb devices" and just says "devices", not "recovery".

After 3 unsuccessful nights of trying to unbrick this thing, I ordered a Motorola microUSB to miniUSB adapter to hack together my own factory cable. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to unbrick before my KF gets here? I'd be much appreciative. My mom's not too happy I "broke" my birthday present. (I tried explaining to her the difference between bricking and breaking, but that wouldn't fly).

Thanks guys.

Hi all.

Where do I get this file Launcher.apk?
[Kindle Fire General] bikeracer4487:
I too am stuck at boot. Only thing I can think of is when I was trying to set /system/app as r/w in Root Explorer (I'm already rooted) and it wasn't working so I rebooted the Kindle and now it won't start up. Problem is, I'm using a mac and though I see "kindle" when I look in "About This Mac" -> "More info...", the kindle isn't recognized by adb or fastboot...there seems to be at least one guy who knows how to get it to be recognized but he doesn't seem to be online. Anyone else have any ideas?

EDIT: Nvm, it appears that is just a list of devices that have been installed, not a list of currently attached devices.

EDIT2: Actually, I take that back. When I disconnect it and refresh, it disappears, so the Mac SEES it...now why can't adb...?
[Kindle Fire General] randyhargis:
I updated my kf to latest revision and used the Rootzwiki/Android Police (burritoroot) method of rooting and it worked fine. I tried to change some of the wall papers and when i went to put the FRAMEWORK-RES.APK into /system/framework my fire rebooted on its own and is now stuck in a boot loop. I can get into it using ADB without any issues but when I tried using the instructions in the first part of this post I can't get past the mount step. I get a mount: operation not permitted error. I have tried the Kindle Fire Utility and still can't get anything to work. Any help in getting my fire up and running again would be very appreciated. At this point I would settle for a full factory reset.

EDIT: I tried the temp root process as described and when I ran zerg rush it ended with Hellions with blue flames!
[Kindle Fire General] enTRAPAG:
I'm having a similar problem, but it was with the market and the system/app directory. Zergrush isnt working, likely due to Amazon patching that with 6.2.1. I'm almost at the point where I feel I will need to exchange mine with Amazon. I posted over in the BurritoRoot thread asking if there was any way to launch BurritoRoot and root it again from ADB and obtain root, but I have no reply as of yet. Anyone have any clue if this is possible or if there is another way to obtain root?
[Kindle Fire General] tkalli:
I can normally get things to work.

I have read and try various things from xda, Rootzwili and Liliputing.

My Fire is currently running 6.2.1.

I was on CM7, but thought I would try 6.2.1.

However, I can not get my PC to recognize the Kindle.

It is not my PC as I have 2 Fires and it recognizes the other just fine.

It is running CM7.

Without adb or fastboot working, not sure what I can do.

Whatever I try I get, "device not found."

Tried a factory reset, but that was no help.

Wifi works and I downloaded my apps from the cloud and they run fine.

Ordered a cable, but that is a ways off.

Any suggestions?
