[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
Noob #1: I've searched all over and can't find the answer to my problem. I think I bricked my device. I tried rooting my Kindle Fire and now it's stuck at the Yellow Triangle.

XDA Member: Your device isn't bricked. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23747567

Noob #1: Thanks for your reply but that doesn't help

XDA Member: Are you sure? Did you even read it?

Noob #1: Yes I read it. It's just a beginners guide. That doesn't help me. I need to unbrick my Fire.

XDA Member: I know for a fact the answer to your question lies within that post. You have to take the time to read the whole thing, thouroghly.

Noob #1: Ok, I've read the whole thing but I still don't know how to fix my problem.

XDA Member: Do you even understand what your problem is exactly?

Noob #1: Yes. I'm stuck at the Kindle Fire logo.

XDA Member: omg

Noob #1: Can't you just tell me?

XDA Member: Fine, whatever. You're in the wrong bootmode. Currently, you're in fastboot mode. You just need to change it back to normal.

Noob #1: How?

Noob #1: I've read it but I don't understand what that means.

XDA Member: You have to enter the appropriate command in order to change your bootmode from 4002 to 4000

Noob #1: What's the command?

XDA Member: omg

XDA Member: "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000"

Noob #1: How do I enter the command?

XDA Member: I'm not going to sit here and teach you how to enter fastboot commands. That's something you'll have to figure out for yourself. Google it.

Noob #2: Hello? Has anyone figured out how to fix this? I've been searching for DAYS and can't find the answer. I'm having the EXACT SAME problem, only its COMPLETELY different.

XDA Member: How is it completely different?

Noob #2: I tried rooting my device and now its stuck at the Kindle Fire logo with an android above it.

XDA Member: Your problem isn't different at all. The screen with the Kindle Fire android logo is called the bootloader. It's a modified bootloader called FireFireFire and for all intents and purposes it's exactly the same as the one with the Yellow Triangle.

Noob #2: Okay, but how do I fix it?

XDA Member: Did you even read any of the previous posts?

Noob #2: Yes, but the problem was never solved.

Noob #2: Thanks for your reply but that doesn't help.

XDA Member: Are you sure? Did you even read it?

Noob #2: Yes but it doesn't help me at all.

Noob #2: Okay, I decided to try and fix it using the Kindle Fire Utility but when I try to change the bootmode, it says device offline.

XDA Member: You need to fix your drivers.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23747671

Noob #2: I checked and my drivers are still there and called Android Device and ADB Composite Interface.

XDA Member: They need to be reinstalled. Follow the instructions.

Noob #2: I reinstalled my drivers but it still says it's offline.

XDA Member: Did you follow the instructions exactly?

Noob #2: I know how to install device drivers.

XDA Member: You have to follow the instructions, exactly.

Noob #2: Hey, it worked!

XDA Member: Imagine that

Noob #3: Help! I was having the same problem but while I was trying to fix it, the device rebooted and now its flashing the Kindle Fire logo. I've searched the forums and Googled for WEEKS and still can't find the answer to my problem.

XDA Member: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25400963

Noob #3: I tried plugging it in but that didn't work.

XDA Member: Then get a factory cable.

Noob #3: I have a factory cable that I got from Amazon but it doesn't work.

XDA Member: No. That's an OEM cable. You need a Motorola style factory programming cable.

Noob #3: I have a cable that came with my Motorola phone. Will that work?

XDA Member: OMG No. That's an OEM cable. You need a factory programming cable.

Noob #3: Well, is there any way to fix it without a factory cable?

XDA Member: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25400963

Noob #3: But I just read that.

XDA Member: Read it again.

Noob #4: I need help. I'm having the same problem. I've been searching for HALF MY LIFE to find an answer.

XDA Member: Same problem? As who? Three different problems along with their solutions have been covered here.

Noob #4: I recently installed ROM XYZ and now I can't get it to wake after putting it to sleep. Also, I've been having a problem getting it to shut down properly.

XDA Member: OMG! Don't you people know how to start your own threads? You're not having the same problem at all. Did you read the ROM developer's thread before installing...or any threads for that matter?

Noob #4: No. Why would I do that?

XDA Member: OMG

Noob #5: Can someone please add USB OTG support?

Now jaded XDA Member: Just shoot me.

Noob #5: "your" mean
