http://forum.xda-developers.com – I've attempted to root my kindle fire with the kindle fire utility and it wasn't 100% successful. Im stuck on the kindle fire screen where it's booting up and it's on an endless cycle whether plugged into the computer, or charging through the outlet. It's also completely unrecognized when I do plug it into my laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated to unbrick it. Important: When the battery wasn't dead it just stayed at the kindle fire and recognized. But using Kindle Fire Utility and a few other unbricking programs could not find the device. (HowTos)

I was using "Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9" with option "3" (install latest TWRP Recovery). I was following a tutorial, but it might have been for a different fireware and version of the utility.

After this it got stuck on the "kindle fire" screen, now nothing recognizes it.

[Q] Hard Bricked Kindle Fire 34 weeks 4 days ago

Ive rooted a few phones and tablets before and have never bricked a device (got close) until now. This kindle fire i believe is truly hard bricked. What happened was, I rooted it with the kindle fire utility, and when it rebooted it was stuck on the kindle fire logo screen. I let it run flat over night, and the next day it was still stuck.

So i used the tutorial i found here: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fir...le-fire-6-3-1/

to try to root my kindle fire first gen. Well it froze at the logo after a fastboot command was sent. I have spent about 3 hours trying to fix it with no luck. ADB does not connect at all, windows says theres a problem with the hardware. I cant get any connections to it whatsoever.

I'n new to XDA. So I decided to show some support in the Forums.

I take no Credit for Kindle Fire Utility or Kindle Unbrick V 0.1 Just adding then together.

Due to my current Kindle Problem. (I will not go into details) I thought this would be helpful.

I would suggest somebody more skilled then me check the code and make sure no Kindles Explode due to this.

Kindle Fire rooting help 44 weeks 19 hours ago

Hi all,

Earlier yesterday i carried out the rooting procedure that was outlined on Liliputing using the kindle fire utility, the kindle was shown as online, the rooting procedure went without a hitch, i then went to the extras section and installed google play.

I then unplugged the device from my computer and restarted it as described.

As title suggests, prior to rooting the Kindle and flashing JB 4.4.2 I was able to access the Kindle via the ADB.

Welcome Kindle Fire 2 Users 35 weeks 4 days ago

The Kindle Fire 2 is now a part of the 7" Kindle Fire HD forum.

In terms of software, the Kindle Fire 2 is much closer to the 7" Kindle Fire HD than the original Kindle Fire. The two are similarly equipped with locked bootloaders, run ICS and share the same rooting method. Consequently, the KF2 has now been made a part of this 7" KF HD forum.

I was attempting to root my friend's Kindle fire with the SuperOneClick method. You can google (kindle fire root) and it is like the second result I think. I would link it to you, but XDA tries to prevent spam by disallowing me to do so (good idea, just not working in my favor atm xD)

After completing all the steps and running the final program, it became stuck on step #7.
