[HOWTO] How to restore frimware on your device + Amazon Frimware - Fire General

So if you been messing around with your fire and got to the point that it wont want to get past the loading screen or something or you may have messed up during the root process you can use these steps to restore your Fire
MOD EDIT: THE FIRMWARE LINKED HERE IS NOT SAFE AT THIS TIME, LINK REMOVED AND THREAD CLOSED.
Steps.
1. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL YOUR ADB DRIVERS INSTALLED!! and if you dont know how to check this thread
2. Download the amazon frimware above and keep it where you can flash it.
3. Boot into recovery (Volume Down + Power at the same time)
4. Select "adb sideload" or whatever it says using your volume keys and press the power to select
5. Now adb sideload <frimware>.bin
6. Its probably gonna take 5- 10 minutes so be patient and then once the recovery options come up make sure you wipe every thing and cache as well
7. Reboot gonna take another few minutes BE PATIENT!!
8. Now your back to your stock frimware.

I'm trying to try this method because Ive gone too far in deleting bloatware and now the Fire doesn't start properly. It get stuck on a flashing lock screen and I can't do anything (I can't concede ADB permissions so I can't operate with ADB console).
Sadly I'm trying to sideload bin into recovery mode, but It says: "device unauthorized". It weird 'cause I've the drivers installed on my PC (I've rooted and sideload Playstore before).
What can I do? :crying:

Try installing ADB drivers in Device Manager while the Fire is in recovery. If you do it correctly, when you do ADB Devices, it should come up as Sideload.

Troubleshooting
Device may not connect to PC until you select apply update from ADB,
check device manager, Fire should be listed ADB sideload or adb composite interface, when in recovery mode
If device is in adb sideload mode
Code:
adb devices
should return
Code:
G000HXXXXXXXXXXX.........sideload
if not drivers are not correct
Manually Fix Drivers
Open device manager Settings>Devices>Device Manager
(If Kindle is not listed as Android>Android Composite ADB interface)
select Other Devices>Fire
Right Click>Update Driver Software
Browse my computer for Driver Software
Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer
select Android or Android Phone (or ADB Interface or Android Device)
Select Android Composite ADB interface
or Android Composite ADB interface
next
you may have to reboot pc
Error
cannot read 'adb sideload update-kindle-37.5.2.2_user_522053820.bin'
Make sure Firmware.bin file is in same location, that is listed in command prompt
(ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>)

It's strange but when the tablet is in recovery mode, PC doesn't recognise it. The device manager doesn't show any related device. I've reinstalled drivers and nothing... Even I made the same procedure in another PC (also with W10) and nothing... There's no trail of any "Android device" in device manager when the tablet is in recovery mode. I'm seriously confused and I don't know what else to do...
Looking for a miracolous hard factory reset...
EDIT: I see that the battery is low. Does this have something to do with Recovery troubles?

possible, not sure if Amazon blocks flashing, if battery is low, i know motorola does.
You do not want battery to die during firmware install, it can brick a device.
Try charging battery.

Thanks for your help.
It seems that there are some advances but a new problem appears. Finally the PC recognised the tablet into recovery's sideload option but a new error appears. I can't sideload with success 'cause of this message "You need adb 1.0.32 r never to sideload to this device. Installation aborted". Strange because I've installed the newer ADB drivers...

Sure!
I deleted my adb folder and follow the steps in your thread here. So it got the right adb version (1.0.32) and I finally could sideload properly the bin file. I think that the point is that PC just recognizes the Fire (as ADB composite) when you are into 'adb sideload' option, not in the recovery main menu.

5th Gen Kindle Fire - MT65xx Preloader problems
Hi - Noob here. 5th Gen Kindle Fire I'm trying to root. Followed the steps and had no trouble installing the ADB driver or running the .bat until...
Two things happen: 1st, Windows 7 says it fails to load a driver: MT65xx Preloader. 2nd: I get as far as the Fastboot screen but there it stops. Nothing else happens for 5-10 min until I shut it down.
I've tried downloading what were supposed to be MT65xx drivers (some off of other threads here). Windows 7 accepts none of them so far when I try to Update Driver on Unknown Device. Have tried pointing it to MT6577 USB VCOM drivers.rar, USB_Drivers.rar, and MT65xx Preloader.rar (all unzipped of course). No luck.
Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

I'm having the exact same issue. If you watch the Device Manager while the process rolls out, the MT65xx Preloader, will disappear after a few seconds and is replaced with just a generic "Android" device. At this point the rooting process hasn't even started yet, and the tablet is just sitting on the fastboot screen waiting for input.
Shadow, your solution doesn't apply. The device can still be booted back normally. It just basically sits at the fastboot screen until you power it off and turn it back on again.

Following your comment, I ran the .BAT while watching Device Mgr. Prior to running it, I had the Android device apparently successfully installed. It had its own folder in Dev Mgr without any [!]. Running the .BAT, that disappeared and Android migrated down to Other Devices. It's now next to the same Unknown Device that I haven't been able to update drivers for.
I tried pointing both to the latest_USB_drivers zip from Shadow's recommended thread. According to Win7, it's 'unable to install' from that unzipped folder or any of the others I've pulled from various threads.

With the Fire disconnected, I booted to recovery (Volume Down + Power) and got a list. Not knowing what to pick, I chose the Bootloader option. It started to boot in FASTBOOT mode. Plugged it in, went to Dev Mgr. Both Android Device and Unknown Device showing in Other Devices. Pointed the Android Device driver to the latest_USB drivers from your other thread. Windows says unable to install your Android. Tried same thing with Unknown Device. Unable to install.

[Q] Trouble when installing TWRP on Kindle

So I was following the tutorial HERE to install TWRP, after successfully installing root via the previous tutorial.
I got to the step where you have to hit "reboot" on the kindle screen, and then press any key in the CMD prompt. I waited till it was on the yellow triangle screen, with text at the bottom stating I can press power button for recovery. I hit "space" to progress my installation, and it got stuck at "activating normal <4000>" as the video said might happen.
Following the instructions, I opened Device Manager and sure enough, the kindle was displaying a missing driver icon (although mine was still called kindle, in the video it was called something else.) I told it to reinstall the drivers, and this is where it got strange. It claimed the driver was up to date, but still displayed the yellow driver error symbol. Now, when I plug in the kindle, it shows up as "unknown device" and when I try to install the driver, it claims my driver for unknown device is up to date.
Meanwhile, the kindle itself it chilling on the yellow fire/triangle screen.
wat do
It says your drivers are up to date? You shouldn't be trying to auto install drivers, you have to do it manually, or are you trying but its just not letting you?
I am manually selecting the folder in the Device Manager dialog, and it tells me that the driver for "unknown device" is up to date
I have found that if I turn the kindle off by holding the power button down, then plugging it in(while off) it will show up as "ADB Device" (not ADB Composite Device), but nothing works, and if at this point it is unplugged and re-plugged in, it returns to Unknown Device giving an error code 43
Okay getting to adb device works, reinstall the drivers like your supposed to under that and then use KFU to try to get it to boot normally

well, I got it to display "ADB Composite Interface, but when I run the KFU, it says ADB Status: Offline.
Furthermore, when I run "adb devices" my kindle does not show up
What device IDs do you have listed in %userprofile%\.android\adb_usb.ini? I know most people only list one ID but I found that a surefire way to get the driver working is to have both 0x1949 and 0x18D1. You also need to have those IDs in android_winusb.inf
This was the only way I could get my Kindle to be recognized while in recovery

I added the 0x18D1 to adb_usb.ini, and I beleive it was already in the other .inf file. Now, my kindle is connected, and device manager sees adb composite device, but adb devices says nothing is connected. Im feeling a reboot might be necessary, which sucks because my computer doesnt reboot well (long story)
You can try adb kill-server and try again
Trouble
Having trouble getting TWRP to install on my Kindle Fire, I had no problems getting it Rooted and getting the Market installed, but trying to run the TWRP program it just hangs at the waiting for device and the Kindle hung at the KindleFire logo. I'm running Window's 7 64 bit is this suitable for TWRP
Thanks for any help.

Unplug your Fire from USB, turn it off (hold the power button ~30 sec), run the first fastboot command above, then plug it in. If the first command completes, do the second.

[Q] Kindle Bricked no adb, not recognized

I am stuck with this headache and have stressed my self for hours trying to fix this so now I turn to you guys for help.
My Situation:
I had kindle to 6.2.1 then I rooted it, installed CM7.
after using it for 7+ days there is an update of CM7 by another dev. which had sound in the CM7 so I tried to flash it.
I put it in the SD card and renamed it CM7.zip from Update.zip so I flashed on Custom Recovery to flash the Update.zip later finding out that I renamed it to CM7.zip so I was stuck at Customer recovery bootloop so I enter the command to flash stock recovery to boot as the CM7 required.
so after stock recovery flash on Kindle the Kindle got stuck on the "kindle fire logo"
I think it was stuck in Fastboot.
I tried with KFU and Kindle Fire Unbrick software but the thing is NONE of them detect my kindle
I have tried soo many ways to Get my kindle detected to unbrick it but still no luck
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
BUMP!
Still need help with a bricked kindle
BUMP!
Any1?
Kindle Still Bricked and not working >.<
Have you tried Kindle Fire Utility 0.9 to install the latest drivers? After that install Kindle Fire Unbricking Utility 0.1 to unbrick. If that doesn't work, reply with a detailed explanation of what you're seeing and what you have already tried.
This post has links to both and a good alternative option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21232193
Good luck.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
Hey,
My kindle got stuck in fastboot too. It wasnt recognized by KFU and unbricking tool. Here is how I managed to recover to normal boot:
Remove the drivers in device manager and reboot your stuck kindle fire, but do not unplug it (just hold power button for pretty long time till it shuts down, then just turn it on). Windows should recognize some device. now install adb drivers and launch KFU. If it sees your fire you are good to go, if not just try changing bootmode to 4000 as if it was recognized.
BUT this worked for me. I do not know if it will work for you! I takeno responsibility or whatsoever.
Good luck sir. Do not give up
First of all, I would like to thank you guys for your help, really appreciate it.
Now, I have tried both of your suggestions and I had no success
I have the latest drivers and everything but still adb doesnt detect it and the KFU says adb status: offline, bootmode: unknown and adb root: No.
in the Kindle Unbrick tool it says error finding device and KFU is stuck on waiting for device.
whenever I connect my kindle fire I dont hear any sound but when I connect my htc sensation it says device ready to use.
I think I will have to contact amazon to get this kindle fire replaced ='(

it looks like you have a driver issue - primarily
this is what has to be corrected first
then we could see what to do
therefor some info about your os would be helpful (os/bit)
what drivers are you using ?
do you have the newest kfu available ?
if yes - moved and renamed to c:\kfu ?

In my case, KFU also stated
status: offline
bootmode: unknown
adb root: No
but it still worked when I tried to change bootmode to 4000.
Also, are you sure your KF is charged enough to start? Try plugging it for a while, then recheck in windows.

I am running Windows 7 64bit on two of my laptops and windows 7 32 bit on my desktop.
the Kindle logo is not glimmering or flashing so it is in fastboot, I know that much.
I have tried the drivers that came with the KFU 0.9.2 (Newest, I believe)
and Yes the Kindle Fire is fully (if not mostly) charged as I had it on the charger for 6 hours last night.
and No I have not placed it or renamed to c:\kfu
I will let you know in a minute about the results
If it keeps saying Waiting for Device then it's not really in fastboot. I had a similar issue and got it solved through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430515
It was stuck in a boot loop and appeared like it was in fastboot, but it would hang up and not respond. You may need to install the fastboot package manually and force it into the right mode. Then you can load TWRP and put it all back together.
If ADB isn't working though, you will need to start by getting that to work. It sounds like a driver issue even though you said you worked on that. You should try the Ubuntu boot method and Firekit to install the fastboot package through ADB. Those are outlined in the link above.
got it ?
if you have a 32 bit machine available that is the better choice cause you don't have to hassle with the 64 bit drivers too
here some information that should clarify the driver things:
in normal boot the device is "android composite adb interface"
in fastboot the device is "android adb interface"
here again all the possible commands to change bootmode:
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
the number is the bootmode you want to switch to:
normal boot -> 4000
fastboot -> 4002
boot to recovery -> 5001
and if you know:
normal boot -> adb commands YES -> fastboot commands NO
fastboot -> adb commands NO -> fastboot commands YES
recovery -> adb commands YES -> fastboot commands NO
then you only have to count 1 and 1 together and can master nearly each hanging situation !
Still no results
I connected my brother's kindle and the computer immediately recognized it and when I connect mine, it doesnt work! :'(
apparently still having the driver issues :'(
any help?
I have tried the KFU driver and that didnt work
I had a similar problem while trying to install TWRP the first time via KFU except I was stuck at the yellow triangle and not the Kindle Fire screen.
First I replaced run.bat in the KFU folder with the one from this post because my Kindle was 6.2.2. Next I installed the drivers for my uknown device in device manager both by pointing the unknown device to where I saved android_winusb.inf and also ran the install_drivers.bat. I got an error saying they could not install.
Next, I followed the steps here
•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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and when I rebooted my Kindle, it booted normally and appeared as Kindle in Device Manager. So despite KFU not detecting my device, and the drivers giving me problems, I was still able to issue the command in KFU for normal boot mode and held the power button for 30 seconds and it was back to normal. This is on a Windows7 64bit machine. I hope this helps.
Make me the third. Here is my story.
I have lots of rooted and rom'd devices so I'm agreeing that this might be device related and not the drivers? Or maybe specifically the Kindle driver? Since all my other devices work fine.
I bought my kindle and rooted it on day one 6 weeks ago using TWRP. things have been perfect on my KF. I decided to install CM7.1 yesterday morning and it was working great. I just realized I never rebooted it so what Im going to say shortly may have been bound to happen.
So last night I decided to add a google Market update per a link on XDA that stated this can be updated to my current CM7 install. After this my KF just kept going into TWRP automatically. I then decided to load my backup rooted stock room and still my KF just boots into TWRP.
Next I decided to use rootkindlefire's unroot/stock rom to 6.2.1 (drop the bin renamed to update.zip to the SD) and got a TWRP logo screen. I powered off a couple times and now I get a KF logo screen. I tried the 20 second reset and it flashes (Windows XP see the request for a USB device also), but no KF OS loads. Windows is showing Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface but the SDcard does not mount files.
I tried:
Kindle Fire utility and it says: Oops... something went wrong. We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire. Make sure it is plugged in and powered on. Press any key to continue . . .
SuperOneClick 2.1 says device isn not found
SuperOneClick 2.3.3 just sits at * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully *

[Q] Kindle Fire stuck at firefirefire bootloader.

So i installed C7 with clockworkmod then when i rebooted i was stuck at the firefirefire loader. I dont have a computer availible AT THE
MOMENT, i hope to be getting my laptop soon. But how can i fix this error??
can you boot into recovery? Sounds to me like you need to reinstall ROM.
No, nomatter how many times i press the button, nothing happens, but how can i mount the usb/install fresh update.zip?
To fix this you will need a computer... I don't know any other way atm... use KFU to install update.zip (aka stock) and try again.

btw do you have vista in a virtual box ?
hope you don't try to flash the original rom from amazon - you will loose fff, twrp and root
would recommend a prerooted stock rom instead:

you have to install the drivers because windows is'nt recognizing
please read the linked in post about the drivers from my last post - there is everything in there
also read this one - that should clear things up:

for some it worked in a virtual box and for some not - good luck !
Thanks but im just curious, how can windows detect thr kindle even with thr drivers, if itsnt fully turned on yet, just stuck at boot? And also does adb have anything to do with this??
Windows will probably not recognize your kindle fire... KFU should though.

I think your confusion stems from your belief that if it's "stuck" at the FFF logo, the device is malfunctioning. In most cases when the KF appears to stop working at this point, it's just in fastboot mode. In this state, you are able to issue fastboot commands to the KF and do many useful things. I believe fastboot utilizes the drivers that are packaged with ADB, so you'll see "Android Phone -> Android ADB Interface" in the device manager when Windows sees it in this mode. However, the command "adb" is entirely separate from fastboot. The device must be booted to recovery or the main OS to issue adb commands. To use fastboot, the device must be booted into fastboot mode for fastboot commands to be issued.

This isn't meant to be a flame, although it might come off like one, but that doesn't make much sense. KFU is just a Windows batch file. All it does is shield the user from having to type a series of complex fastboot and adb commands (and performing some other menial tasks) in the proper sequence to get the desired effect. Without the hidden fastboot and adb commands, KFU is powerless to do anything meaningful on the Kindle Fire. Since fastboot and adb need the proper drivers in place to interface with the KF, Windows must first recognize the KF through those drivers.
Whenever i do Normal boot on kfu, it stays on waiting for device, as it obviously isnt recognizing the device.
And also would o have to install the drivers manually? I ran the install_drivers.bat...

If you're still using Windows in a virtual machine, you're also going to have to make sure that the virtual machine has control of the device and not the Mac OS. Then see what the Windows device manager shows for the device. I posted up above what it should show when the KF is in fastboot mode. If it doesn't show that specific device when in fastboot mode, you need to remove whatever driver it's currently using, remove the device from the device manager, disconnect the KF and then try installing the drivers again. The KFU driver installer "should" work and it works for me, but YMMV. b63 also gave you directions on alternate ways of installing the drivers in a previous post if the KFU's installer doesn't work.
When i setup the vista machine. I told it to run windows by itself, and not share files with OsX, so i assume ill have to check the devic manager, i am at school for 4 more hours so ill try then, im 12 but im not stupid

nobody says you'r stupid - there are a lot much older people having problems with the drivers !
and allthrough i'm a win admin with 30 years of experience sometimes i don't understand what windows is doing ...
so back to your problem - found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24161305&postcount=11
maybe it's helpful for you ...
and you'r right - would check the device manager for the right driver for fastboot mode - it should be "android adb interface" - not the one with "composite" - if everything is right the command "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" should return "kindle"

OK, but when I check the device manager, there is no ADB references or such, this may mean I have to uninstall whatever the install_drivers.bat did, and manually install the drivers, and that may have also caused KFU to return '<waiting for device>' when i entered fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product. So I'm guessing this MUST be done on windows? I sortof need to fix this by Saturday morning, because I am going on a trip without any computer!
I assume i must also download the androidsdk and extract that to C:\? I just dont realize how a computer let alone virtual machine can detect a fastbooted device.

cant bring up bootloader again

Hey guys,
So I'm attempting to root the nexus. I was following the instructions and put it into bootloader mode. I accidentally hit the power button while it said start at the top of the screen and it restarted. Now every time I power off and try to enter bootloarder mode it wont display the android guy. How can I bring that back up?
thanks,
Mike

try adb devices. If nothing shows up, then I think you should reinstall your driver. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit to install the driver.
After you uninstall the driver and plug in your device again, if Windows keeps installing autimatically the driver, then you should disable the Automatic Driver Update (or something named like that). I used to stuck with this Driver Update for 2 days. After I disable it, uninstall driver, then install again through Device Manager. Everything is OK now.
Cross check if USB debugging is enabled before connecting via adb. I have never used that Start option so don't know what it does apart from booting your phone.

I reproduced the actions that got you the bug (selected Start from boot loader screen). But my boot loader still shows up.
Try adb bootloader
sent from my nexus 4; cat on lap, beer in hand
So i figured out most of it, im following the instructions from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g88PPZyvfDI however i get to the part about 11 1/2 minutes in where my phone should be rebooting once i put usb debugging on however i put it on and my phone doesn't restart and the nexus toolkit just says waiting for usb debugging to be enabled. Any suggestions

Need help - OP 6t not recognized in fastboot

Hello, a few weeks ago i got my OP 6t. Due to my positive experience from my previous phones (LG G3 and G5) and what i heard from OP i tried to flash twrp and planned to install magisk. I followed the instructions here on xda to unlock the bootloader, it got recognized as device in adb and i could reboot it into the bootloader, but then it didnt recognized it in fastboot, it looks like im missing some sort of drivers, because when im in fastboot in the win 10 device manager its called "android" with a yellow triangle, i tried multiple guides already, but i had no success. Its the unbranded version with 8 gigs and 128 gig. I can provide more info if needed. Help would be very appreciated.
Did you follow funkwizard's guide in the guides/news/discussion forum? It's stickied at the top.
Anyhow, if you followed the guide, he provides this link (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L7EZGx5mgeQYXO19Vsp9FWu9GXhF45Qs/view?usp=drivesdk) for the OP6T drivers that need it be installed.
He then provides this link (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-uWQn-oHu_ROuDVCzIyrExoRbsSBYTtU/view?usp=drivesdk) to update your ADB/fastboot to the latest version.
Complete both of those steps and your phone SHOULD be recognized in fastboot. Good luck.
I have read his complete thread and im still stuck with the same problem. I deinstalled all phone related driver and only installed the one from the thread, opened the command prompt via admin and under device manager is still the yellow triangle beside the android device. I tried to install the driver manually via the google universal driver, but windows never found any compatible drivers.
And just to be certain, do you have USB Debugging enabled in developer options?

Yupp, but i have to say that i had to tap it four to five times until the confirmation window popped up.
I had this problem few hours ago, and this is W10 fault. For me solution was that:
instal drivers from guide,
enter fastboot mode,
remove phone from device manager and unistal drivers,
replug phone,
let windows find drivers automaticly when in fastboot mode.
And that's it, fasboot comands works now.

forget all the other tips, install the Google USB drivers with the batch file by entering Y on every question. select install driver in the device manager by selecting manually install. in the list presented select on the left Google Inc and on the right the fastboot driver. finish setup and fastboot should work now
