endless triangle loop

Hi, after reading for 2 hours this and other threads Id like to say "you guys helping so many ppl, ure great " and ask for help myself.

I was doing the new root on rootkindlefire.com. After " fastboot -i 0×1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img "and rebooting it

stucked

on the triangle. My device wasnt been found anymore. I had several trys on reinstalling the driver. But the kindle wasn`t supposed to work with them. Maybe trying this I deletec the working one so I cannot press " previous working driver ".

I felt asleep for 6 hours...

I dont really know what really happened. Maybe it was a frustrated line like "adb reboot " taking my fire in a neverending reboot-loop with the triangle independent of plugging the usb cable to pc or electric socket.

Apart from this my fire doesn`t show any reaction when i unplug the usb cable - It just turns off. I cannot turn it on or smth.

My pc isnt having any time to detect the device. Its not even doing the "pluged-in-sound" " device-couldnt-been-installed-sound" anymore. Any adb on cmd is giving " device not found ". Any fastboot on cmd is giving "waiting for device".

I would be incedribly thankful for any help

UPDATE!: I followed the above instructions to install TWRP, with a bit of trial and error, and i finally managed to get into the recovery and just for kicks i fixed permissions... and that was my problem. My kindle fire has been fixed. Thanks to everyone for all the help and special thanks to Muddquez for your links to the posts.

I followed this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399072) to try and restore the kindle to stock and have soft bricked my kindle. When I turn it on it shows the kindle fire logo and the power button is green. The button then switches to orange and restarts and then sticks on the kindle fire screen.

The device is still recognized by adb but I have the "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)" error when i run adb shell. Am I pretty much screwed until TBH gets more factory cables?

Thanks

Yellow Triangle forever

Hi guys,

bricked my fire on xmas by setting stupid permissions for the app folder.

d--------- root root 2011-12-25 11:00 app

After reading a lot of threads I made my own factory cable and voila I was able to install twrp using

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

After that the device rebooted and stuck in a yellow triangle. I pushed the power button but no orange light flashed.

So I tried on last time connecting the normal cable and I'm able to get into twrp now. adb does work as well. I don't know why. KFU says Online, rooted, 4000. What to do now? Rebooting leads to yellow triangle. Fixed mount issue with sdcard.

After that I've tried to install update-6.2.1-rooted-unsecureboot.zip.

So good so far. But Kindle does show up yellow triangle again after reboot and goes into twrp. No OS launch at all.

What's my mistake?
[Kindle Fire General] djflocko:
Fixed it in the end.

The command adb idme bootmode 4000 was missing

Up and running again ;-)

I am with the same problem, exactly as you describe it. Please Help
[Kindle Fire General] kurrptsenate:
Boot looped my wife's kindle trying to install the market app (messed up permissions the system app folder)

Thing that worked for me was using fboot mode to get the kindle to stop looping and just stay at the kindle fire splash screen. I was then able to load TWRP on it. Flashing a rom was a little tricky. I eventually had to download the official amazon one and change the name to update.zip. Windows wanted be stupid and not let me just rename it to a zip (had .zip.bin) so a dos prompt windowed fixed that for me.
[Kindle Fire General] mrfmanuel:
Fixed!!!

My friend I fixed my kindle, not sure how did I do that, just did it.

Please read everithing befor start following steeps.

1-While it was connected I uninstalled the device from device manager marking the option (Delete driver)

2-reconected the kindle to the PC, It was detected as a kindle by default but with errors. The PC told me something about it could not install the driver.

3-I updated the driver with the .INF file that I have in c:\user\myusername\.android\drivers

4-After that I executed the tool called "Kindle Fire Utility" --> The file called Run

5-The device was not detected at all:

ADB Status: Offline

ADB Rooted: No

Boot Status: Unknown

6-Selected the First option "Bootmode Menu"

7-Selected "Fastboot (4002)"

8-It didn't do anything

9-Selected the First option: "Normal (4000)"

10-Unexpectedly I saw something like rebooting or something similar and the Kindle blinking the yellow triangle then the original "Kindle Fire" logo, then It started up as an original one

11-After that I decided to do a factory reset but didn't work because it enter to the recovery mode (TWRP)

12-I installed Cyanogenmod7 but here I had another problem, there was a loop in the recovery mode

13-After some research I saw that I had to connect the kindle to the computer and run a couple commands

14-This time adb detected the kindle and I run:

adb shell

idme bootmode 4000

reboot

In that momment I understood what happend. There are 3 diferent boot modes: Normal, Fastboot and Recovery.

When The Yellow triangle was frozen it was because the kindle was in fastboot and the coputer didn't detect it. Maybe because wrong drivers.

When It was in the loop of TWRP was because the kindle was in recovery boot mode and everything was resolved when I set bootmode 4000 (It is the normal boot mode)

If you want send me a MP and I'll upload files that I used to megaupload or another server. I won't upload the files for everybody because I am not sute if there is a rule in this forum against that. If not, let me know

Also Sorry for my english, it is my secondary language

Would love some help-

I got a new Kindle Fire and -

Installed the SDK command prompt thing

Rooted it fine and began to load programs using this guide youtube. com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KapnjR89ICA

Couldn't get the androidmarket.apk to copy to my /system folder.

Bricked my Kindle by clicking my /system folder permissions and changing the top 3

After this I got stucked in the infinite boot loop with the message-

"Your kindle has detected a problem and must clear App storage. The recovery process will erase some applications and data from your device, etc."

After reading through the support threads I've attempted the following

Navigate to my Android Root directory on my PC (for me it's in C:/KindleADB)

Attempt to use the ADB Devices command - which showed my device # / restoration

I started following the unbrick guides and made sure fastboot was in my KindleADB directory on my PC.

At this point I started trying to follow the guides and use the commands-

ADB Shell

which results in "-exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: no such file or directory (2)

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

which results in < waiting for device >

I've attached a screenshot of my cmd prompt and the directory I'm working from

It seems like I can't use ADB shell, probably because I changed my permissions?

I can't seem to use any fastboot commands?

Since I know my mistake is changing permissions on the /system folder, is there any way to change this back using ADB commands (minus the shell command which doesn't work)?

Judging from my attached screenshot am I in the correct directory and does it has the correct files in it?

What is the next thing I should attempt to do?

I'd appreciate any help - feel free to email or chat me on google (m white 57 @ gmail.com) if that is easier.

@Hoang

how did you get the system permissions when adb doesn't work?

Unfortunately, the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility doesn't work, because of the missing system permissions required to access the adb shell.

Has anyone already tried this?:

tnet.com/products/computers/amazonkindlefire/reroute621
[Kindle Fire General] lhhoang:
abd works and I'm able to list file as well as permission. However, my KF still in boot loop - slash "kindle fire" and orange power button.

PS: I try to fb with 4002, however it is not useful.

Any help?
[Kindle Fire General] paste2k:
Yeah, I've got it.

I yesterday also made the permission mistake, and removed alle permissions from the system directory...

It is almost impossible to destroy a KF completely :)

This is what I did:

I installed the original 6.2.1 firmware with TWRP. This destroyed my TWRP and FFF.

To fix it, I installed ubuntu on my computer and the android stuff (adb) see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11823740.

After that I did this trick (shorting the pin): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1405052

The extracted files from rekindle-0.1.zip didn't have the execute flag, so I had to add it (chmod +x usbboot, chmod +x fastboot)

After that I used the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility (pressed menu item 1 while the KF is in the TWRP menu, and item 3 while it reboots) at my Windows 7 machine.

After that I mounted the sd card in TWRP, copied update-6.2.1-rooted-secureboot.zip to the KF, and installed it.

The only damage are some broken clips from the cover....

(sorry for my bad english)

Hi all, i would like your help. Well my Fire is bricked. It has boot loop.

I've downloaded KFU 0.9.2

At the moment fire is connected on win xp, KFU see it as ADB STatus: Online, ADB Rooted: NO, Boot Status: 4000

i can't install TWRP Recovery, becouse of "waiting on device" status

In Device. manager it is seen as Android comp. ADB Interface, and as a and as Generic volume in Storage Volumes. It is even seen as a Removable disk F in my comp.

What should i do? I need yours step by step help.

I hope it could still be saved

I am able to access fastboot (now with TWRP as I see the yellow triangle) and I am also able to restore it to regular boot mode with the glimmering kindle fire logo.

From here however, it appears I'm finding it difficult to install this prerooted 6.2.1 package and am unsure whether or not I need to do it through adb commands or fastboot.

Some things appear restricted when in adb mode while others are restricted while in fastboot.

So, I am scared, within literally an hour of getting my Kindle Fire, I rooted it. Then proceeded to install the TWRP. But during the install i got an error

Then it hung on the step after restarting for almost 40 minutes and it was stuck at the "kindle fire" boot screen, the initial screen that has those two words nothing else.

On the computer it shows that my "Android ADB Interface" is connected, but I cannot seem to get the device to show under the KindleADB tool.

Any advice on how to fix this.

Kindle Fire appears to be Bricked

Okay, Ive been working for about 12 hours strait trying to fix this problem, so please forgive me if the answer is not in the 50 some pages on this thread, I tried looking but coulndt find a relative answer.

After rooting, I used the kindle fire utility batch to install a recovery. After the commands ran, in hung on "waiting for device"

As my device rebooted, it never has gotten further that the "kindle fire" bootscreen.

Furthermore, using adb commands, I cannot use a shell to get into the device, as my device is no longer recognised. Ive tried re-installing drivers several times, but no luck.

What can I do, besides trying to exchange it and starting over from scratch?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
you don't have to exchange it - it's simply a driver issue - from op of kfu:

this is also helpful:

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

and some people reported doing better with kfu 0.9.1 allthrough i think 0.9.2 should be working too - just give it a try

setting the bootmode to normal with fku (option 1) could also do the trick once you figured out your driver issue

furthermore here is another option:

Both of you should restart your kindle fires and check if it gets correctly recognized in device manager. Do not unplug KF from PC, just reboot (hold power for about 15s, then start normally). Then, if Windows recognises KF as Android Phone ADB, you can simply change bootmode to 4000 in KFU (even if its not showing any devices). If it's shown as Kindle Fire, then just reinstall ADB drivers and change bootmode.

Good Luck.

I tried the above solution but the Fire stays with the yellow triangle.

The computer only recognises it for a couple of seconds and then it detaches and is recognised a few seconds later.

Any idea what I need to do to get the computer to permanently recognise the kindle ?

fire went out

I think I've completely bricked my Kindle Fire. I was installing an update and the whole thing shut off. Now it won't turn on, charge, light up, etc. at all. The LED charging light won't even come on. I had about 70% battery when applying the update. I called customer support and they tried getting me to reset it, which didn't work, so then they said they would send me a replacement. I was rooted before, do you think that will be a problem when I return the one that won't turn on?

[Kindle Fire General] b63:
that is exactly what it is meant to do - driver seems to be correct - you'r in fastboot now - adb commands are not working in fastboot - you should issue all adb and fastboot commands fromm the tools folder of kfu - a good practice is to move/rename kfu to something like c:\kfu - then open a (elevated) command prompt and cd to c:\kfu\tools - here you have all needed commands

you can test fastboot with:

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

you can install twrp now:

download it from http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

move the file where fastboot.exe is located (c:\kfu\tools) and install with:

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

... this is all described in the thread i suggested - try to follow

Dear ubeezee, I’m very new here and I don’t have the experience you all have in these technical issues. My problem is the same that my kindle fire was stuck in a bootloop. What I did is rooting the kindle successfully with the kindly fire utility 0.9.2 with superuser then install the google spps and go launcher. After that I tried to install Android Market and everything went fine then I tried to move the Vending.apk to the /system/apps it gave me operation failed so I tried to change the permission on the system folder to w/r then it crashed and since then I can’t solve it. I tried to follow your instruction but when I wrote: adb shell ls -l /system/

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

So I tried: adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp

It return: failed to copy 'zergRush' to '/data/local/tmp': No such file or directory

And any adb shell command return no such file or directory

I tried to read all what is written in this thread but I couldn’t understand most of it and it couldn’t help me.

If you would assist me in this issue I’ll be much appreciated but please if you will, kindly guide me in a very specific and detailed method as I told you I’m not a technical person.

Well, unlike everyone here bricking their phones 'so to speak', I'm having a completely different issue.

I have rooted and installed the TWRP just fine (so it seems). I never got a finishing install screen when it rebooted after the TWRP. I do get the triangle, if I don't hit the power button it boots just fine into the Kindle Fire.

It is when I try entering TWRP to actually install the CM7 file I downloaded, or do anything for that matter. As soon as I hit the power button/hold it/tap it (read many different ways), it wont boot. It just about locks up? I can only get it to reboot by powering off/on and then again, if I leave it it'll boot into the Kindle Fire.

It seems TWRP might of been a 'bad install'? Is there any instructions to undo it all and start from scratch again?

SCRATCH THAT...

I got NO SLEEP last night working through this and after I posted this just a few ago, I tried the KFU again and ... it worked? I'm in the TWRP right now so I am going to try getting CM7 on. Obviously backup first.
