This is a specific guide to restoring your Kindle Fire from boot loop caused by changes in the /system/ directory permissions.
The problem:
After rooting my Kindle Fire, I tried to install the Android Market app and while doing so, messed up my read/write permissions of /system/app/
After rebooting my Kindle, the logo animation started looping endlessly, indicating there was a serious issue taking place.
The specs:
Device: Kindle Fire
Firmware: 6.2.1
Desktop: Mac Mini
OS: OS X Lion
The tools:
You will need,
1. The KindleFireRoot Kit from here (It has tools for all OSs)
2. TWRP 2.0 from here
3. The fbmode file found here to be able to stock fastboot in 6.2.1
The steps:
1. Move all the contents from both the downloaded KindleFireRoot Kit and TWRP into a single directory for convenience.
2. Assuming you were able to root your Kindle in the first place, it's likely you already have drivers installed (Windows). Check by opening a Terminal, navigating to the dir with all the tools and doing this on Windows:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb devices
on Mac:
Code:
sudo ./adb kill-server
./adb devices
Your device should be listed. If it is skip to the next step.
If it's not, install the drivers found in the usb_driver directory (Win only). In this directory you can find the adb_usb.ini file which you need to move to the .android directory that's inside /Users/[your_name]/
3. We will now use the fbmode to fastboot to stock 6.2.1 as explained in this thread.
Code:
adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fbmode
adb reboot
4. Now that we can fastboot, we will install TWRP 2.0.
Just run this command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
...and reboot. The Kindle should boot into a screen with a yellow triangle and TRWP will install itself.
5. What you need to do now is tap the reboot button onscreen. As it reboots, hold down the Power Button until the light turns orange. You will then boot into TWRP. You will see a Menu with a bunch of Buttons.
6. Now it's time to boot up your Kindle as a USB Drive to repair the permissions.
Touch the Mount button and select the checkbox that says System. After that tap on Mount USB
All you have to do after that is type this in the Terminal and voila:
Code:
adb shell chmod 755 /systme/app
7. Reboot your device and enjoy.
Thanks to everyone who helped me figure that out in the original thread and the threads that I've linked. I might be missing a step. PM if you get stuck or just Reply on this thread.
/system/app kindle fire
Hi,
Thanks for the instructions. I got to the point where the yellow triangle shows up on my kindle fire after doing the fastboot command and touching the reboot button on the kindle screen. However, it just locks up after that and I never get to the subsequent menu. All I see is the yellow triangle on the screen with the instructions to press the power button for recovery. I have reset the power many times and all I get is the yellow fire triangle now. Any ideas how to get out of this loop? Thanks.
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
if you'r done you may have to reset the boot mode to normal (when you are in twrp):
adb shell idme bootmode 4000
adb reboot
Windows doesn't seem to be recognizing my device anymore. I get an unknown usb device when I plug it in. When I run the fastboot commands I get a <waiting for device> from which it never returns. I tried to reinstall my android_winusb.ini file to the kindle, but windows says it is up to date. Windows gives me this error in the device manager: " Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" Help!
you have to update the driver manually:

Thanks, that did it! I also had plugged it into another computer that recognized it as a kindle. I'm not sure if that mattered or not.
This seems to be great. Unfortunately I've got to a different thread and I think I totally bricked my Kindle. I was able to install and run TRWP. However I tried to do a recovery from Amazon Stock img. Then rebooted the kindle. After that the kindle rebooted and got stuck again. I tried to re-run TRWP but this time I got a different error message when tried to run adb shell to go into fastboot. The error message said the system shell could not be found. Adb shell is not accessible and if I do a fastboot command it says waiting for device.
If I do adb devices I can see the actual device # not anymore in recover mode but listed as device. But not able to run the adb shell. I am really frustrated!
that happend many others by trying to flash the original amazon rom
the original rom deletes fff, twrp and root
with a messed up system shell you have no possibility to get to fastboot mode
the only solution is to use a factory cable - you can build or buy one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693
the factory cable forces the kf to fastboot mode
restore with factory cable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21391952&postcount=38
handling:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21708081&postcount=157
or in short:
You must insert cable, then switch off kindle by pressing button about 20sec and press once again, kindle will be in fastboot.
test with "fastboot getvar product"
After kindle will be in fastboot, with Kindle Fire Utility install TWRP recovery and with recovery install prerooted stock or CM7 firmware.

Hello all,
I've got a bricked droid, and haven't been able to find a fix that worked in other threads here.
I rooted my droid successfully, and installed GO Launcher EX, along with the android market, and a number of apps from there.
Among those, busybox, metamorph (which i then used to change the wallpaper), titanium backup, etc. I had successfully rebooted after all these installations and after changing the wallpaper.
I was getting on a plane the other day and turned off the KF, and havent been able to get it to boot since.
Originally it was in a boot loop, getting to the kindle fire icon and rebooting every 3 seconds.
I tried using the KFU, but it was unsuccessful at changing the boot mode (drivers were successfully installed).
Failing at that, i tried following the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414832
After the reboot, it is now just stuck in the kindle fire screen, and i cant run any adb commands, device not found.
Am I straight up screwed now? or anything I might be able to do at this point.
Much appreciated, thanks for any advice.
Do you have fastboot access? Try running the following...
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422832
Thanks guys, ill try those and post back w the results.
so i tried fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
and it seems to have been successful, in that it is now back to its original boot loop state. however, it is still not booting fully.
it seems that adb commands are now working, i can do adb shell, and navigate root folders (system etc).
zombie, i havent had much luck with that route, i had tried that earlier.
I've seen people mentioning that the cause for their brick had something to do with permissions, so i did ls -l in the adb shell, here are the permissions for some of the relevant folders. if there are any others that might be helpful, let me know.
root -> drwx------
system -> drwxr-xr-x
sdcard -> lrwxrwxrwx
oh and framework-res.apk -> -rw-r--r-- (same as all other files in that directory)
i did modify the framework-res to change the background image. it successfully booted at least once after the modification - i used metamorph, i loaded the file, then rebooted for it to take effect. this was successful, but i believe it was the next reboot which did my kindle in, so possibly related.
i rambled a bit, but maybe if i replaced the current framework-res.apk with the stock framework-res.apk, that might be worth trying? are all stock framework-res.apk files the same at stock? because i don't have a copy of the original that came with my kindle.
i would go back into fastboot and then flash over TWRP... and then reinstall your os from scratch. it would probably be easier than trying to root around fixing it from the inside.
Thanks xrishox, I might do that. Is there a thread detailing how to do that?
When I tried doing fastboot I lost the ability to use adb commands so I'm not sure how to go about flashing twrp.
Download the fbmode binary and TWRP image. Then run the following.
Code:
adb push fbmode /data/local/temp
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fbmode
arbiter reboot
Your device should reboot and be stuck on the Kindle bootscreen. You are currently in fastboot mode. Now run the following...
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 poem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.image
Your device will reboot after that last command. It will boot into the TWRP installer. When it completes, tap "Reboot". Then boot into TWRP recovery and install the factory update, or a custom image that won't replace FireFireFire and TWRP.

Howdy!
I recently just dealt with this same issue. My KF was stuck in boot loop and wouldn't be recognized by my computer. I left it in bootloop until it ran out of battery. Once it was completely drained, I connected it to my computer and my computer recognized it, I then reinstalled the drivers. Right after that I used KFU to change bootmode to normal boot and let it fully charge! Good to go! Hope this helps someone.
from the op of kfu:
Known Tricks
•If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution
•If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.

The reason your TWRP is boot looping is its because, you installed a file or zip that cause for your system to corrupt or break. It can also be a file that is in the system that you deleted and rebooted your Kindle to save changes.

I don't know how to do the Via Command Prompt part how do you do it?
-Well you can try what I did to my Kindle Fire when it keeps boot looping TWRP
1.Download Kindle Fire Utility
2.Extract it to desktop.
3.You can't connect it while its in FastBoot mode so open up CMD or Command Prompt.
4.Again locate the folder and type it in the CMD for example I typed:
"cd C:\Users\Madaran\Desktop\Kindle Fire Utility\tools"
5.Then type this in "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000"

8.When it turned orange I immediately typed this in the CMD or Command Prompt
"fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000" so it wouldn't boot to the TWRP recovery menu.
9.It should reboot again and load up your CyanogenMod 7 or previous ROM build.
10. If it work hit the thanks button please.
=========================================================
Thats a great simple guide. One thing I want to add is that on my Windows 7 box, after I installed TWRP, the Kindle started being detected as "kindle" in lowercase and the drivers would not reinstall correctly, and if I manually installed them, the device would not start. I fixed this issue by doing standard USB device troubleshooting on Windows 7.
Open the Device Manager.
Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
Locate all the USB Root Hubs and uninstall them by right clicking and selecting "Uninstall".
Do the same for all the controllers listed afterwards. Basically remove the USB Root Hubs first, then all the controllers listed so everything under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers is gone.
Reboot the machine and wait for the controllers and hubs to reinstall.
Then reconnect the kindle and hopefully the drivers will install correctly and allow ADB to connect.

Or one can just use firekit if they are new to this kind of thing and it works a lot like the kindle fire utility. Here is the link to my guide and the link for kindle fire kit is in there. I must warn those of you that are not on windows that this is a windows only program so those of you running different OS on their pc should either use this thread or my guide as well... Very nice thorough tutorial by the way!

Hey:
I am having this bootloop problem but when I use KFU 9.2 to get to normal the program just hangs with a white blinking cursor. Should I just wait or do I need an alternate solution. I have TWRP installed, I made a backup of my stock KF but when I crashed it and attempted to restore from TWRP there was no backed-up file to use.
I have downloaded the KF 6.2.1 upgrade using KFU but unsure how to install it at this point.
Thanks
maybe this one will solve your bootloop:

sirmavs,
I tried your last method and everything went fine until step 8. The light never turned orange and now I'm stuck on the Yellow Triangle.
EDIT:
At this point I opened up the Fire Utility.
I changed the bootmode to normal from there and CM7 rebooted fine.
I really do not understand why FireFireFire hasn't been updated to fix this?

This worked perfectly
I have previously installed TWRP which has run without any problem, helping me to install the rooted version of KF 6.2.1 firmware posted here in xda a month or so earlier. It has been running fine until yesterday.
For some reason, when I ran Market, it asked for secure login with a "Retry" button which did not work. When I checked it was still registered with my GMail account for Google. Then the wifi started to go on and off for no reason.
I realized something went wrong so I decided to re-install the rooted 6.2.1 using TWRP.
The installation process completed successfully. I pressed "Reboot" button then choose "Power off". However when I restarted the KF by pressing the on/off button, it booted into TWRP by itself (meaning when the yellow triangle came up, I DID NOT press and hold the on/off button to boot into TWRP; the light went orange by itself and booted into TWRP). I switched on and off several times, but it booted into TWRP by itself all the times.
I decided to wipe everything before re-installing the firmware. I got back into TWRP and wiped cache, Dalvik, System, Factory reset and SDcard. When I press "Install" button, the copy of firmware is no longer on the KF because of complete wiping. I press "Mount" -> "Mount USB storage" and hook up the KF to my PC, so that I can transfer the copy of the firmware to the KF.
I repeated the process (firmware installation was again successful), but I still got the automatic booting into TWRP instead of normal boot.
Then I tried using KF Utility 0.9.2 to update TWRP (I originally installed TWRP using the TWRP Installer). However, I could not get it into fastboot mode (the Utility says "fastboot mode: no"). The instruction from the Utility said if installation did not work, try reinstalling the drivers - I ran "install-drivers.bat" and reinstalled the drivers, but did not get into fastboot mode to do anything.
Then I tried to install CM7 instead of the original firmware. I copied CM7 onto KF and used TWRP to install the zip. Again I wiped everything before installation. Unfortunately this time, the installation process did not complete. I rebooted the KF and again it auto-boot into TWRP (probably because there is no OS on the KF now).
I can still boot into TWRP without problem. The nightmare now is that:
When I try to mount USB device so as to connect to the PC to transfer files, my PC does not detect it as a drive.
Before the screw-up, it shows in Windows Explorer as "Kindle" (or "Amazon Kindle device"). Now when I go to device manager and click "Disk Drives", only the HD of the PC shows.
The "Android Phone" ("Android ADB interface") still shows in Device manager when I hook up the KF, therefore I guess I can still use ADB.
So these are my two questions:
(1) How do I get out of the "reboot loop" and stop the automatic reboot into TWRP so that I can boot normally into Android (this is presuming I install the firmware successfully)
(2) What can I do now that "USB Mount" in TWRP does not work? Can I fix it or can I reinstall TWRP?
Thanks.
Desperately yours
ST
If in Device Manager it shows up as "Android Phone" that means you have the ADB drivers installed and it will not mount as a drive. Simply delete the device from Device Manager and replug the kindle to your computer, or just use a different computer.

ALL PROBLEMS SOLVED
Thanks. I uninstalled ADB then reconnect KF, and it reinstalled ADB. When I press "Mount USB storage", my PC detects KF as a drive ("Kindle") again.
Actually I also solved the problem of TWRP bootloop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773
I used ADB to issue "idme bootmode 4000". This took my KF out of the TWRP bootloop back to normal boot. I am surprised to see that CM7 installation is successful, despite it seemed that in TWRP this was cut off in the middle, without the usual "installation successful" message that came after original firmware installation.
Can you see it in adb by doing an "adb devices"?
just for the future - the commands to set bootmode to normal depending on the current bootmode and version of fff:
with adb:
adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4000"
adb reboot
with fastboot:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
or
fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot
or
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot

Kindle looks and acts rooted but i can't install TWRP with KFU.
When it ask the kindle to reboot in fastboot the kindle stays idel in usb mode.
EDIt got it rooted by installing android phone drivers then i rolled them back now it reads as a usb composite device or something, doesn't say kindle with the flag like it did at first.
What commands did you use?
what commands??? i used 5 on KFU it did its thing so far then it said waiting for device after it told the kindle to reboot in fastboot.
I just got this today with stock 6.2.2 and got it rooted finally but i want recovery and other roms >.> THe kindle just doesn't reboot when its told by KFU during TWRP installation.
I think KFU isn't working for 6.2.2 at the moment.
Are you comfortable with running commands from the command prompt? If yes, do you have ADB running properly?
if i have a set of instructions I can use the command line. but not intuitivelly, i got this thing rooted even after installing the drivers gfailed so i did pretty good so far
,
Disregard this post. See my next post.
I has to be root first right, cause i was mistaken and it didn't take. when i run the command line to enable root it gets this message
adbd cannot run as root is in production build.
i even tried the instruction on this link by they are very vague for 6.2.2 and it doesn't tell you were to place files which i assume got to C;\kindleADBhttp://rootzwiki.com/topic/13027-universal-all-firmware-one-click-root-including-262/
Disregard my last post. Do the following.
Download BurritoRoot2.bin from this thread and TWRP from here. Place BurritoRoot2.bin and the TWRP image in the same folder as adb.exe and fastboot.exe (you can use the ones from KFU).
Now run the following...
Code:
adb push BurritoRoot2.bin /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot2.bin
adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot2.bin
adb root
adb shell idme bootmode 4002
adb reboot
You were given root access for the adb shell with BurritoRoot2 and that allowed you to change the bootmode. The last command will rebooted the KF into fastboot mode.
When you see a solid "Kindle Fire" logo, you can continue with the following commands...
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
The device will reboot and install FFF and TWRP.
I.will be attempting this a lil bit later today have Tiber optics installed and they are due any min.
Thankyou for your help.
Do you guys know why when I command Adb root it tells me its in.production build? This confused me.last night and I am expecting to ru. Into it mater when I attempt to do this root and twrp fix
It's because it isn't rooted. I don't think KFU has implemented BurritoRoot2 yet.
I tried downloading the 6.2.2 update and manually update but when it reboots TWRP 2 says Can't mount /mnt/sdcard/kindleupdates/update-kindle-6.2.2_D01E_3205220.bin
then TWRP gets stuck in a loop only loading into TWRP until I do "idme bootmode 4000"
Anyway, since it seems pretty safe at this point to update to 6.2.2 I want to get it over with now, but am having trouble, is the problem TWRP 2.0?
if you use the original amazon update you will loose fff, twrp and root
take a look at this update method:

So I was messing around with my rooted Kindle Fire trying to apply a new theme to my Ice Cream Sandwich Launcher with metamorph and totally screwed everything up. I rebooted my Kindle Fire and it was stuck on the kindle fire logo screen. This morning I tried to unbrick it with the Kindle Fire Unbrick utility but it screwed up everything even more. Now i'm stuck on the yellow triangle screen (firefirefire), I realized that I totally screwed up the framework apk in the system folder. My computer will recognize the Kindle Fire but it comes up as "kindle" in the Other Devices in the "Device Manager". I tried to update the driver but the wizard will say that it cannot find any driver. What should I do? I already read many other posts but throughout the steps I get stuck on one and cannot continue.
I suggest try the following:
Adb kill-server
Adb start-server
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
or
adb shell idme bootmode 4000
adb shell reboot
Good luck

I know how to fix the yellow triangle, do this
1.Download kindle fire utility
2.Unzip kindle fire utility
3.To install the driver,its easy,just plug in your kindle, when it pops up with the install wizard say pick from the location of: KindleFireUtility>drivers>kindle 4.run kindle fire utility,select 1 then select 1 again
That's it, hope it helps

First off, what rom are you running on you Kindle stock 6.2.2, CM7, CM9? Did you make a backup of the original framework-res.apk? If so follow these instructions (assuming you have adb working):
if original framework-res.apk is stored on you computer:
from command prompt (start -> in search box type cmd then enter) cd to where you have backed up the original file if it's on your computer
then type the following commands
adb devices
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot
if the original file is stored on your kindle:
adb devices
adb remount
adb mv /path-to-original/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk (fill in actual path in "path-to-original")
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework-res.apk
adb reboot
Hint: If you didn't make copy of original framework-res.apk, you can always download and open up the install zip for your rom and extract the original file. Good Luck!
Kindle Fire Bricked PLEASE HELP!!!
So like every other noob with a new kindle fire 6.2.2 i tried to root it, after nearly 3 days of trying different ways i was able to root it i then proceeded to install go launcher ex once i selected go launcher it froze and i have not been able to boot sense.i was stuck on kindle fire logo and it would not do anything i tried to run the unbrick utility 1.1 and 1.0 i get device not found but it does say it was unbricked but it is not, now let me say how stupid i was to not create a backup i know i know ugh im kicking myself now... my computer sees it under device manager as android adb interface when pluged in and i see the usb connection in the task bar on WIN 7, but i cannot access it as a protable drive. when i turn it on it will only load twrp.im guessing im screwed and everything is gone... any help will be much much appreciated, im not sure what other info you may need at this point and i am sorry for my ignorance in advance. thank you for any help!
and yes i have tried several things to get it working again which has gotten me to this worse point...i was able to see it normaly as protable device but i dont know what i did to get this.
somebodyssomewhere:
- boot to twrp
- open shell -> "adb shell"
- issue "echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file"
- now the sdcard should mount to the computer
now you can delete the faulty .apk of go launcher with adb commands or install a new rom:
- now you can download and copy your new rom to sdcard (ie prerooted stock)
- mount sdcard -> "mount /sdcard"
- exit adb shell -> "exit"
- tap install in twrp and install the new rom
- ignore errors about volume "misc" - the kf don't have a volume "misc"
- on the screen where you return after installation tap clear dalvik/cache
in eighter case set the bootmode back to normal:
- set boot mode to normal -> "adb shell idme bootmode 4000"
- reboot -> "adb reboot"
thank you for your replies i will try them all as well as let my friend know who is coming over to try to fix my stupid lol thank you all for your suggestions.
Update - Here is the Fix
With a bit of research and lots of help from b63 I got my Kindle Fire to work again:
1. Booted into TWRP (Recovery Mode).
2. Flashed new MD5 zip (Kindle Fire Stock 6.2.2).
3. Wiped all data off the sd card except the TWRP folder and the MD5.
4. Booted the Kindle Fire and it went straight to the lockscreen.
Thanks for all your help!

Still am sorta stuck
Ok, so I tried to flash a MIUI ICS rom using TWRP and followed the (apparently crappy) instructions here. So, I'm stuck on the TWRP logo and have used the Kindle Fire Utility to try and reset the bootmode to no avail (it does set it and it reboots but still never progresses into the actual TWRP menu.
Any ideas?!

would try to follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22433402&postcount=4
i did finally get my kindle working again after several reboots of the pc and kindle and re installing the drivers a couple times it is now recognized. after almost a week of messing with this i have found that rooting this is alot more simple then many people are giving directions for.
what i did:
download kindlefireutility1.1
download what apps you want BEFORE you root, i have found many apps work when installed before rooting some apps may still not work..
once kindle fire utility is downloaded extract it to your c: drive
go into the kindle fire utility folder in the c drive and install the usb drivers if you need them,if not click run this will open the utility make sure you have a fresh reboot of both the kindle and pc, plug the usb cable into the kindle and pc leave it on usb mass storage mode, move any apps or files you want and press 5 to install the latest twrp MAKE A BACKUP IN TWRP BACKUP ITS EASY, DO NOT PRESS CONTINUE UNTIL KINDLE IS BACK ON THE HOME SCREEN it will say press any key a few times when using this utility.
once done you will want to install the google frame work and Go Launcher.The kindle will reboot a couple times during all this and can take up to 5 min to load so be patient.
go back into the kindle utility and then press 7 and then press #2
once this is done you can then root so hit # 3 for perm install of burrito and super user
now once those are done and you are back into the kindle home screen click on the super user icon looks like an android dude and click ok. if you dont see ok then it didnt work and try again
then click on the burrito root guy he looks like an android cop open him and if you see exit then ur good if not try again.
now your kindle should be rooted. now if you want to install a custom ROM do the same exact steps but then when it is rooted power off the kindle and press the power button once and immediately again press and hold the power button for 7 seconds until it turns orange you will then see the yellow triangle for about 2 min then it will load twrp
once in twrp go tot he folder where you saved your ROM onto your kindle, i like to copy files to the download folder..
select your rom then click on flash, you may get a couple errors but ignore them. make sure to wipe the cashe and then hit reboot and you should be good...i hope this help someone and if you need help feel free to send me a msg. im no expert but ill try
