[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manni4711:
Kindle Fire boot loop problem

I still have a boot loop issue with my kindle fire which I just received some days ago (right, I had only 1 day to use it until first the web browser started closing when calling a page, then after repoot, the boot process does not finish, still seeing the kindle fire logo). draining the battery did also not solve the issue.

I installed the android sdk, the usb drivers, configured them and the kindle fire is recognized as device.

Afterwards I installed the Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.3, and tried it, with no success. Here the results:

Activity: kindle fire started (boot logo visible) - plugged it into the pc - started kfu

-------------------------------------------------------------

KFU Screen:

--> boot status is still 4000, i.e. no change to fastboot even though the message (which was somehow weird) told this.

Activity: select option 3 (install permanent root)

Permanent root has been installed.

With great power, comes great responsibility.

Please be careful with how you use root.

It is HIGHLY recommended you have TWRP installed before using root (check your

device's screen for installation instructions).

--> after the last action, during the script running, the kindle fire does automatically deactivate and activate the driver on the pc (while the kindle still displays the kindle fire logo).

Does anybody have an idea how I can get this thing up and running again?
