So I just updated the ROM on my 1st gen Kindle Fire to the gedeRom version link: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25312180#post25312180)
Anyways I installed it and configured my device exactly how I wanted it. Everything went perfectly. The ROM loaded and I installed all my apps and configured my files. However, I rebooted the device to go to TWRP and backup the system and data so I would not have to reconfigure everything again if anything happened to my device. Well, after the backup was completed I went to reboot the system with TWRP. The Kindle keeps looping the FireFireFire screen without loading into cyanogenmod ROM and booting normally. I can reenter TWRP by pressing the power button for recovery but I can't get the device to boot normally. How do I fix this?
Thanks.

*Solution Found* - However -
It also seems to boot normally if I completely power off and leave it alone for 10 minutes or so...as I just discovered. It didn't work when powering on/off for just a few seconds though. Is there some kind of internal reset after a certain period of time? And why would it not boot normally after the reboot option was selected vs. power off?

This forum is actually for the 2nd gen and the 7" & 8.9" HD's. Try asking here > Kindle Fire General. You might get a more expedient answer there.

Ilumene,
This is an easy fix. Please drop to command where you have access to Fastboot. We are going to give you a number of scenarios just in case another person has the same problem:
If you get stuck at a screen with a yellow triangle, run:
Code:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000 -i 0x1949
If your device is always booting TWRP run:
Code:
adb shell "idme bootmode 4000"
Step 1: If you still can't get out of booting TWRP (A Bootloop), first run:
Code:
adb shell "idme bootmode 4002"
Step 2: Reboot your device, then run:
Code:
adb shell "idme bootmode 4000"
Step 3: Reboot again and you should be out of your bootloop.
In some rare cases you need to reset the Boot Mode:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1

I've been using Unofficial CyanogenMod 10.2 for the Kindle Fire HD 7" since it first came out without any problems. Basically, I just upgrade it with TWRP every time Hashcode releases a new version....well it finally didn't work. His thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388341
I flashed the latest version, [11/15] BETA CM10.2 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL two days ago. It got stuck in boot so I rebooted successfully. I've been using it for 2 days now and finally rebooted. This time when I reboot, I get stuck on the Kindle Fire blue logo. I can't do anything from there. I can't get into TWRP.
What do I do?
Restore stock from fastboot, I believe with 2nd boot loader installed you can simply plug the device I to your PC after running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and it should goto fastboot and u can restore stock boot loader, recovery, and os from kffa and restart the process. I think people have had issues with this lately or at least something similar because of selinux being added to twrp and cm 11. Just a guess though.

Thank you! Uh...so I ran the fastboot line and I've got the fastboot logo...but I'm not quite sure how I should go about restoring the stock boot loader, recovery, and OS as you've said. Am I basically factory resetting? Will I be able to get my backed up ROM back?

Well, you have a couple options. If you're in fastboot then you can opt to to a full system restore. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254

Hey guys,
hope you can help me. Have a little problem: After trying to root my fire, it is in a bootloop and i don't know what to do. Hope you can help me. I guess it is bricked.
Thanks
EDIT:
I tried to sideload the software bin, but it didn't worked. Also my computer doesn't show the devices with "adb devices".

Others have found that the fire will only show up on your pc after you select the sideload option on the fire. If it still doesn't show, try unplugging / replugging the usb. It seems to help some people to get it to appear. Also note that some devices will intentionally not allow you to flash bin if the battery level isn't high enough. It's a safety measure since running out of battery during a flash = brick. Be sure you're fully charged.
thanks, but..
Thank you for your response. I've tried everythin you said, but it didn't worked. Don't know what to do

Hello, I'm a long time user of the forums I haven't had a new device to root since 2013 when I did my Nexus 7 FHD. I have always followed directions correctly and never bricked anything.... until now.
So anyway just got this tablet black friday sale and within minutes of opening the package I started to read up on rooting it.
I got into fastboot and started up TWRP_Fire_2.8.7.0 I made a backup on the device without error.
Then I installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 and tried to install open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20151129 but it failed.
I wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted. Now the tablet tries to boot into normal mode in a loop without success.
I have tried to get into recovery mode (volume down and power) but it fails and loops back to normal mode.
I can get into fastboot mode (volume up and power) and then back into TWRP however restoring the backup doesn't fix the boot loop.
I downloaded update-kindle-37.5.2.2_user_522053820.bin however I can't seem to figure out how to load it with TWPR sideload, and as I said I can't get into recovery mode.
Can anybody help me? @sd_shadow

:good: Awesome thank you very much, I thought about doing just that but figured I better ask the pros first.

Thank you for all the help in advance!
Current state of device:
Fire HD 7" factory cable plugged in stuck on fastboot screen not loop just stuck no access to ADB (device not found[debian gnome])
I was deleting my previous ROM to go back to stock. I wiped my cache, os and everything then went to go and install the stock ROM and my little one managed to power the kindle down. I turned it back on to find kindlefire logo on the screen but it doesn't go past that. I built a factory cable and now it displays the fastboot logo but nothing else, not looping just frozen on the fastboot screen. So the computer [debian gnome] can't find the device when using ADB. (ADB is working with my other devices) I tried to follow a post about using the fastboot cmd to install the system.img, recovery.img and boot.img but did not know exactly what I was doing at that point. Is it done for? or is there hope?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
There is hope. You could try following the commands in the batch file from this post.

I've never tried it from Linux but so long as fastboot is working you should be able to flash the 3 images and then wipe data.
Thank you sooo much! this worked like a charm. I downloaded the img files and loaded them to the kindle via fastboot then rebooted and wala back to a fully functioning kindle. Thanks for the link!!!!
Glad to hear it helped you out.
Help me please
I have bricked my device. I can no longer get it past the bootloader Amazon image and can only get it into fastboot. Had root on device and was attempting to flash twrp so that i could install some custom roms. When flashing twrp the device restarted and has been stuck in a silver amazon bootloop. With the help of root junky's supertool i can get into factory recovery. but cannot sidload origional system back. I was gonna go back origional and re root. But can not get it out of bootloop. Tried using the system recovery thread found in second post on this thread and recieved an unsuccessful. Am i done for.... Kindle just stuck on fastboot screen now
Does your device have the front facing camera and the mini hdmi port?
Tablet had Fire OS 5.3.1 build installed.
Successfully rooted with Rootjunky supertool - after a lot of hassle with Kingroot (needed a newer version via an XDA link). Replaced Kingroot with SuperSU - and loaded Google Play - everything fine so far....
Magisk Manager app downloaded via Play store- starts to install but when tablet re-boots it's soft-bricked.
I've tried this twice now with same result.
Anyone had success with Magisk on Fire Tablet?
i'm having the exact same issue with a kindle fire hd 7". installed lineage unofficial 20170309 found on here, kept pushing me to install magisk, first time it wouldn't install, then it updated from market...installed successfully this morning and now when device is rebooting it just stays on kindle fire gold screen. volume button doesn't work to get into recovery and adb devices returns nothing. nothing in device manager to even indicate the computer is seeing the kindle fire.

Hi, when I bricked mine I pressed 'on' & 'Vol -' simultaneously and after a few attempts got it into recovery. From there I selected 'update using ADB' and at this point my Windows PC recognized fire tablet and allowed me to sideload the official Amazon firmware .bin file via fastboot (hope this makes some sense as I'm a bit of a noob!).
As for Magisk - probably incompatible with Fire device as suggested on this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68958498&postcount=2
But the thread's gone cold - no-one's confirmed either way.
FYI, fixed this with the following:
fastboot cable - plug in while device is off to enter forced fastboot mode
managed to get fastboot command responding after installing the android adb driver in device manager to the yellow triangle "tate" device - validate with
"fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" will validate that fastboot is responding
then:
"fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img" - reflash bootloader
"fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.8.3.0-recovery.img" - reflash twrp
just as if you were manually installing twrp for the first time
i had some other issues with kindle fire first aide where, when attempting to restore to factory, it wiped my data and cache partitions, but the above at least let me get back into twrp where i was able to reformat data/cache, flash a new system image, and successfully boot into it.
Moving away from aicp for now since that was what was pushing magisk, giving lineage a try.
Glad you got it sorted. Think I might need to get one of these factory cables just in case future 'experiments' go awry!!
Hi, I tried to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my KFHD8.9, but bricked it in the process. When I turn it on it shows the normal orange kindle fire logo, and then the screen swipes to a red screen, then swipes to fastboot. I can't boot into TWRP, or FireOS anymore. I couldn't find any threads to resolve my problem, so I decided to make one.
Here's what let up to this, step by step:
First, it's running 8.5.1
So I rooted it using the KingRoot windows application (not the .apk)
Then I downloaded TWRP recovery 2.6.0.0 (as per this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hd/8-9-development/root-install-twrp-android-fire-os-8-5-1-t3278286 )
I downloaded all the other files that said were needed.
I used the FireFlash11.apk, and followed the instructions exactly.
It booted into FireOS the first time, so I reflashed TWRP with FireFlash, and successfully booted into TWRP
I then realized I didn't actually have any ROMs ready to install, so I booted back into FireOS
I downloaded the files, and tried to boot back into TWRP (This is where things went wrong)
I held down the volume up button, just like you normally would, and waited three seconds. The screen flickered, said 'badi: boot image' and for some reason booted into fastboot...?
I looked online, and found that I should factory reset it, so I tried. It seemed to be going fine, until when it shut down. After I powered it back on, my current symptoms appeared (Red screen then fastboot).
I now cannot do anything besides that, so any and all help would be appreciated. Keep in mind that I'm kinda bad at this, and have only correctly flashed a rom using TWRP once, and that was by following a different guide on a different firmware kindle word-for-word, so I'm not quite sure what everything means.
Thanks in advance!

If you can boot into fastboot you should be ok.
Read this guide. It's old and file names may change but, the steps remain the same.
https://web.archive.org/web/20161224194648/https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jem
If you are already in fastboot then start with Step 3.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-3.0.2-2-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img
fastboot oem recovery
That should boot you into TWRP recovery.
Just incase you need some files.
