Quick question. Before I purchase a charger for the kindle fire had I was wondering if it was ok to use one from a different device such as a cell phone. I have 5-6 different wall chargers that would work and I would hate to waste money if those would be ok and not harm my new device. Thanks

Any charger will work fine, provided it has a micro usb connector of course.

Some chargers are more powerful than others, just keep that in mind.

Last night, i was using the Kindle Fire First Aide to restore my kindle fire hd to 7.2.3. After it downloaded the files, it failed on one when flashing. All was fine though. I rebooted back to normal mode and it booted fine, i was using the Kinology rom. I then factory resetted my kindle and after rebooting, it now bootloops all the time.
My question now is, do i need a factory cable in order to fix my kindle fire hd or is it bricked??
If i do need a factory cable, would this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/EARLYBIRD-S...59SG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362233872&sr=8-1 work fine?
Sorry if this doesn't make any sense.
Thanks for any replies you may give.
That cable will work fine.

I am looking for a replacement USB cable similar to the one it came with that has the right specs for the device. I see the one in the Play Store but for that price is a little much. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Any standard microUSB cable and a 10W wall charger will work. Some examples are the B&N nook color charger, kindle fire charger, etc. Amazon has a good selection of 10W+ chargers as well.
Logitech usb cords work good.

The kfhd seems to have a sensitive charge port. I'd send it back to Amazon if you can't get it fixed.

My Atrix HD doesn't seem to care what charger I use. It died on me this morning after 34hours (MAXX battery) and I am charging it up using a Blackberry 700ma charger (slow but works). I have drained it to death and charged it up via USB from laptop too. Not saying that its not possible for it to be "locked" to a factory charger, just saying that it seems not all of them are.
Is this the charger I need http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Origina...remium-Home-Wall-Travel-Charger-/150956867162
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
It could work, but remember the stock charger is a USB cable with an outlet block

Didn't even think of this till now. This is an ever better idea to make sure the phone isn't just bricked some how.

I bricked my Kindle Fire HD recently and was hoping that there was a way to enter fastboot on it without purchasing a fastboot cable. I don't have the money to buy one either. I have the img files and everything else needed. Thank you for your reply.
You will have to make one if you can't afford one, or try jumping two points on the motherboard with a wire. Fastboot cables are pretty cheap though, only around 5-15$.

Lawlz I would rather not do that. Do you know how I can make a Fastboot Cable? I have about a million cables for the device. So could you lead me to a guide that I can use to make one with. If I take the device apart the chances of me breaking it is even higher.
If you don't have a soldering iron this could be very difficult to do by jumping a wire.... I believe Samsung cables are recommended because not all cables have a spot on the PCB for pin 4, and Samsung's typically do.

Buy a fastboot cord for 10 bucks. Meanwhile install ADB drivers and Kindle Fire FirstAide.
When the cord gets to you, run KFFA and restore to 7.2.3 and root and remove OTA updates all from KFFA.
You'll restore to 7.2.3 so you will have a nice matching boot.img to use from Hashcode's thread when you go to flash a 2nd bootloader and custom rom.

Maybe the face palm will fix your eyes so you can read the many other posts posted on here dealing with this issue. Like the part that recommends having a fastboot cord before messing with your tablet. Or how to UTMFSE to find the pin out diagram to make your own fastboot cord.
I wouldn't waste ten dollars on a fast boot cable till I needed one if your careful and all goes right there is no need for one and even at that I'd rather make one than pay for it given I have a Samsung cable.
I grant you I used one but just because I felt like making one. Didn't even use it for a few months

Well after i opened cable up, I realized I don't have any Solder. LOL. I have a Soldering Iron, but no Solder. So now I just wasted my time practically until I can get solder.
