[Solved] Kindle Fire Bricked!! - stuck on yellow triangle/screwed up framework folder - Kindle Fire General

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?!

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

Kindle Fire Bricked? Please Help! (In panic mode)

I was following the tutorial at http://rootkindlefire.com because the tool wasn't working. I got to the point where I typed in these commands and thats when things went downhill in a hurry.
adb shell
su
idme bootmode 4002
reboot
When it rebooted I was instructed to reinstall the drivers but, this was unsuccessful and I tried to reboot both the device and the computer. Afterwards when I tried to access the device using these commands
adb root
adb remount
It said the device cannot be found.
The device is listed as Android ADB Interface with and exclamation point by it. At this point I have no Idea what to do because it is stuck on the Kindle Fire logo and I think I may have bricked it for good. I hope that someone can help remedy this. I booted it into fast mode to try to install the twrp recovery if that information helps any. I am running windows 7 64 bit.
First, What where you trying to do on the kindle fire? Rooting it or something else?
Second, Do you have TWRP installed on your kindle fire?
PS: Don't freak out yet. Always stay calm there will almost always be a fix.
Search the forums. This has already been covered more than a dozen times.

Don't panic yet. I am guessing you are stuck at the yellow triangle and not the Kindle Fire logo?
To reinstall drivers right click on the device in device manager and point the installation to where you have your kindle device drivers. (should be .android folder)(if you have followed the instructions to root then you already updated those files to contain the Kindle drivers)
Then you need to change out of fast boot mode (4002) back to regular boot mode ((4000)

I seem to have gotten it working. After several reboots with both devices the KFU finally recognized the device and allowed me to change back to normal boot. Now I dont have to buy my dad a new KF

[Q] Yet another bricked KF

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.

[HOW TO] Recover Kindle Fire from corrupted read/write permissions in /system (6.2.1)

Link to original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452651
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21720811&postcount=41
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.

[Q] Bricked my fire using Kindle Fire Utility

I tried to use the kindle fire utility in order to root my fire, but when I tried to use it, the first thing I did was install the drivers..... Then change it into fast boot mode, which I didn't realize would make it automatically reboot.... With out TWRP, or the fire fire fire boot loader. It is stuck at the "Kindle Fire" splash screen, and does not even connect to my computer. Is there a way to change it back to normal boot mode? Because when I tried to use the kindle de-bricking utility, it did not work, because it says waiting for device. If anyone could give me some advice, I would appreciate it.
May not help, but try the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21477909&postcount=13
have you tried to hold pwr button for ~20sec ?
I had the same problem and it was because the TWRP file was corrupt or incomplete. It went to reboot, and just stuck on the Kindle Fire logo. tried resetting, and everything. What I did was re-install the drivers, plug the device back in to the computer and even if KFU says your kindle isn't connected, try changing the boot mode back to normal. It worked for me and I restarted and tried the whole TWRP installation process over with a non-corrupt file and it worked just fine.

I actually did, I had tried a hard reboot several times.
then i would try as suggested above - if it don't work you can do it manually by opening a (elevated) command prompt and cd to the tools folder of kfu (eg c:\kfu\tools) and issue "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000"
if it says <waiting for device> cold reboot the kf - the command should be picked up and finished - another reboot should bring you to normal boot
if this not working then you should check your drivers:
for fastboot it should be "android adb interface"

I tried your method and it rebooted my kindle succesfully, although it restored itself to factory conditions (which i dont think it's a bad thing, since i was scared of seeing the device stuck with the logo)
I will try to run kfu all over again and see if it works this time. I'll let know how it goes.
Thanks!
EDIT: Which twrp file did you use the second time? Can you post a link to it?
EDIT2: Nevermind about the first edit; the second time, kfu downloaded twrp instead of using its own recovery.img (which i believe is the corrupt file). I still cannot install firefirefire; a command line says "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Any help with that? Or can my kindle be safe without firefirefire? Thanks again!
it's not save without fff ! you need it to get to twrp and to have fastboot available for some seconds during startup
would recomend to try with kfu 0.9.3 and 0.9.1
some people have success with only one of the versions
Glad you got back to stock at least. The problem I had was that my internet connection timed out when KFU was downloading the files for the TWRP and FFF installation. There were incomplete files that KFU recognized as being there when i re-tried and it tried to install them again. You need to make sure you delete the files in the TWRP folder before you try again that way KFU won't find them and will download them again, hopefully successfully this time. You could also just delete the entire KFU you already have on your computer and download the whole thing again and re-try.
Hopefully this helps.

That means it can't find the ADB.exe in tools for Kindke Fire Utility. The tools folder must be in the same folder as the batch file.

- run kfu
- key in "1" and enter (bootmode menu)
- key in "1" and enter (bootmode normal)
that's it
can't explain easier ...

Not Exactly. First he needs to check the device status by pressing 0, becouse if device have offline mode in KFU, he can't do much (propably he will need to use fastboot comands rather than adb)

wrong - if the device is in fastboot mode adb will allways be offline !
btw. kfu is using fastboot commands
So what your saying is i can't do anything.

it is nearly impossible to realy brick a kf - just do as i suggested
if it's not working tell us what exactly happens ...
some important hints 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.

How to install stock ROM from the recovery?
I've uploaded original ROM with changing the extension from bin to zip.
I've rebooted with 'adb reboot recovery' but the recovery from ROM is not available there.
Code:
Kindle Fire System Recovery
Your Kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot.
Resetting your device to Factory defaults may
help you to fix this issue.
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
---------------------------------------------
Reboot your Kindle
Reset to Factory Defaults
---------------------------------------------
I can't find the source code of this particular part of recovery and I can't find even the recovery in stock ROM.

DO NOT FACTORY RESET without doing a lot of reading first and understand the implications. In many circumstances, that is a quick way to make the problem worse. It could remove SU and ADB communication.

Well, this advice is useless for me because new firmware removes SU too
TS has made a tutorial which works only for him and he doesn't providing any comments to reproduce his tutorial.

@thienthanh1122, what's the issue? Did you downloaded the correct drivers from Amazon? Is your Kindle in boot loop?
Please provide more information.
