So, I rooted my device, and I flashed CM7, and everything worked fine.
after running for awhile my device just went black. So when after about 15 mins, it went to the Fire triangle logo and is now stuck in this logo.
I searched and found problems like this but when I plug in my device, my computer wont recognize it...
so am i screwed? - Again, I've searched and tried many of the steps advised...
What did you use to obtain root? Do you have the KF Utilities downloaded and on your computer?
If not, here is a link: (Vashypooh gets ALL the credit)

Mine got stuck on the triangle as well and I thought I was screwed, but more than likely you're just stuck in fastboot.
What I did was use the KFU and even though it didn't show as recognized I was able to use Option 1 - Bootmode Menu, Then Option 1 - Normal.
My Fire restarted normally after that.
Don't know if it will fix it for you, but it's worth a shot huh?
Thank you sir. After reading that I got to reboot correctly by turning it off plugging it in, and turning it off and on three times and tried the unbrick utility again and it went through. Thank you.
Glad you got it to work. Now you can get on to the fun parts.
Also for some people this might work. I unbricked my kindle. Here is how I did it
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 someone like me

Ok, so i wanted to install Cynogen Mod 7 on my perfect kindle fire. So i followed the directions on http://liliputing.com/2011/12/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-7-on-the-amazon-kindle-fire.html. Everything was going fine, i downloaded and opened The Kindle Fire Utility and used the permanent root option. It rooted and everything went fine. Then i went to the TWRP Recovery, it installed and then went into fastboot. It took a little while for me to realize that it wasn't going anywhere. I started following other guides to unbrick my kindle fire but all my efforts was in vain. I got desperate and uninstalled the drivers, the kfu and windows 32 bit computer won't recognize my kindle and i just want this horrible nightmare to end. Can someone please help me here.
You are currently being assisted in another thread. After an attitude you posted another. The other thread was not yours, so understandable, but please be more patient.
Reinstall the drivers using the .bat file. Try to restart the kindle again. 90% of the time these are driver issues. If that does not work, try the fastboot commands in the other thread and restarting the kindle again. The Cd "your directory" is typed in then press enter. Each line is a new command so hit enter between each.
So, as many new KF rooters have, I seem to have bricked my KF. I rooted it just fine, but when installed TWRP through KFU .93 the process seems to have stopped. After waiting over an hour and reading countless "I've been stuck installing TWRP through KFU .93" threads, and seeing many "I switched to .91 and it worked fine" responses, I decided to give that a shot. After unplugging and hard resetting my KF, it is still stuck on the KF logo screen. No yellow box, just the logo screen.
When I plug the KF into my computer, the device is recognized and the proper KF drivers are installed, but I can't get adb to work at all. Every attempt returns a "Device not found" or a "Server didn't ACK." The device does not show up on my list of attached devices, but in Device Manager it is loaded.
I'm unsure of what the next step should be, as I can't get the hardware to respond to anything but resets, and I can't get the software to communicate with the hardware from my PC. I really don't want to admit defeat and contact Amazon.
*edit* Through more research I've made some progress. Opening KFU and selecting the bootmode option, and then when it says "waiting for device" hard resetting the KF and letting KFU change the bootmode to Recovery has done some things. I got a message saying "Failed ..." but it flashed too fast for me to read. Then, upon several restarts, I received a message saying that the KF needed to factory reset, which it is doing now.
As of right now I have a Factory Resetted, working KF. My updated question is now "Where did I go wrong?"
I assume it had to do with TWRP, as it was working until then. Should I redo the whole process using KFU .91 instead of .93? The root went of without a hitch, but the TWRP was what killed me.
Also, do I do Root THEN TWRP, or TWRP THEN Root? I guess I might need Root access to install a Recovery console, but I'm unsure.
use KFU to root, then hit up my gscript install method in the development thread. easy peasy.
but for the record, you were in fastboot, so it won't see adb commands..
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 maybe woulda saved you. but avoid fast boot entirely, n use my gscript method.
heres how i did it
I was trying to unbridled my kindle fire all last night and about 5hours today.here is how I did it (don't get your hopes up too high,it might not work)
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
I installed the drivers and connect and got KFU to report online and status of 4000, I chose to root and it rebooted the Fire and then got stuck on the White Orange Fire logo and the computer did not see it again.
What I ended up having to do is run the driver installer again! While the fire was in fastboot mode and KFU was still waiting on device and the root install proceeded normally.
No where i have seen has this been said so i figured id give a heads up if it will help someone else out if yours gets stuck on unknown.
This happened on two separate Fire's on two different systems and wasn't required by a third.
I had the same issue when I rooted my kindle. I waited awhile to see if i was just being impatient, then restarted, waited some more etc. plugging it in and running kfu again did the trick. I rooted the thing the day I got it so I wasn't sure what the deal was but it was an easy fix.
On a related note the kindle forums have more 'help I'm bricked!!!' Threads than any other device I follow. I am not sure why b/c it also has some of the most helpful and thorough guides I have ever read.

when the dos screen shows waiting for device, do not unplug the cable and do not turn the dos screen, you should hold the power button to turn off, and then pressthe button again, when the pc ask for driver again you can install the old one... voila, it's ok

Finally tiring of the stock Kindle Fire OS and wanted a more robust tablet experience I decided I wanted to root my Kindle Fire and install an ICS ROM. Here is how I messed up my Kindle Fire.
1. I downloaded "Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6
2. I extracted the RAR
3. I ran "install_drivers" and they installed perfect
4. Hooked up my Kindle Fire, it popped up saying found and finalizing some drivers and then a window popped up showing me the contents of my Kindle Fire.
5. I ran "run" and it brought up a menu saying "ADB Status: Online" so I chose option 2 "Install permanent boot with superuser"
6. It said it didn't find "twrp" but it would download it
Here is where I ran into a problem, it must have started to do something to my Kindle before it got to this point. For some reason KFU was unable to download "twrp" as it keep erroring out and trying again. After 15 attempts I decided to close the DOS window down and unplug the Kindle Fire. Now my Kindle Fire will not boot, it hangs at the "kindle fire" logo. I can hold the power in for 30 seconds and shut it off but it will not load boot up, it just stays at the logo. I can plug the cable in with it either off or on the kindle fire logo but the PC never recognizes it. I even when in and the driver is still there and installed properly.
Why would it start altering my Kindle Fire if it can't get TWRP downloaded? What can I do?

Oh and I forgot to mention that "Kindle Fire Utility" shows it as "Offline" now and nothing I can do can get it to say online.

To me it sounds like you Bricked your kindle, There are numerous tutorials on how to fix this. I found the easiest way was to use Kindle Fire Utility and if it says the boot mode is 4002, To switch it to 4000, And it fixed mine numerous times.

Try this:
Open CMD > Navigate it to your ADB directory, For me I do "CD C:\KindleADB". > Type "adb devices" and post the result. If it doesn't show your device, Try typing "fastboot devices" and posting the result.
