Please help me with advice on the best solution solve this problem.
I mistakenly deleted Launcher in my daughter's KFHD 7 and now the system is in a loop unable to start. When i turn it on, it starts and then stop a "Kindle Is Upgrading... Please wait..." stage.
I am a noob at this, but can follow instructions on what to do the fix it. I have already bought a factory cable earlier. I received the 7.2.3 update yesterday which broke my root and since then, the system has become slow and the screen will get stuck and then go completely black without obvious reason.
Thank you for all for your inputs.

Ok i have been able to fix this problem. The device is up and running. I read up on kinfauns' KFFB thread which is most helpful. Unfortunately, the factory cable i bought off of ebay UK seem not to work. After i connected the device to the pc using the cable and issued the "fastboot getvar product" to verify the Kindle Fire is in fastboot mode, I only got < waiting for device >and nothing else, just stuck there.
I then switched to the stock kindle cable. The kindle booted up like before. Ii issued the "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img", this got the device into Home area and I was able to side-load Launcher.apk backup file from dropbox into the /system/app folder and that fixed it.
Thanks to onemeila and kinfauns for putting up these helpful threads and to longthinkzhang for pointing me to the right thread.
Hi, advance thanks for you kind cooperation in helping me solving this issue.
My kindle was rooted to use google play store and was working fine until i decided to mess with the build.prop to allow more games to be played. I basically edit the file like thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727645; i copied the the file before editing and saved it on my fs explorer app. When i rebooted the kindle its just loads the kindle fire screen then 1 sec blink into another kindle fire screen , this time with animation going across the words and stays stuck.
I tried usb connection, but it will not detect anything and as a result i cant access the adb in cmd. i tried hard resets 20-60 sec and nothing.
Can you please help me? i felt good rooting it with the guide from the forum n i know your help will be much appreciated.

Sorry guys but any update on this prob :crying:
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm basically having the same problem as OP, but I got that problem in a different way. From what I understand, the "factory cable" will put the device into fastboot, at which point a system.img file can be restored. I had a couple of questions about this which might help OP too.
1) If the 7.2.3 update was installed, could the 7.2.2 system.img work. If so, is there a working link for it?
2) Does fastboot allow adb access as root (assuming the PC drivers are installed?
All I think I need to do is rename Launcher.apk.old back to Launcher.apk (I thought doing this would disable the amazon launcher and I could use ADW Launcher but I guess not). I guess in OP's case it could allow modifying the build.prop back to stock.

The reason I ask the OP if it is 7" or 8.9" is because you will need to get into fastboot to correct this problem if adb is not recognized. The 8.9 can be done without a factory cable but the 7" needs a factory cable if adb can't be accessed.
Now to answer your questions:
1. Yes it can be downgraded from 7.2.3 to 7.2.2, but along with the system.img being flashed you will need to flash the boot.img and recovery.img or it will not work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
2. Fastboot has nothing to do with adb and uses totally different drivers.
Hope this helps and sorry for the delayed reply
hi all
I have a question, I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 with TWRP Recovery everything worked but the application nova launcher disappeared could not delete it or reinstall it so I did a wipe, but lost the root when you try to do it again had problems with coomand SU, with wire factory try doing a factory recovery with my backup.
appered after to restore a red screen and my computer does not recognize any new device
micro usb cable = kindle fire logo and red screen after
factory cable = fasboot logo and not recognize any device
not a problem for drivers is a problem with the tab
any ideas to fix?
tnx
Have you tried everything available to you first? This includes: factory resetting by booting into recovery and doing a whole system wipe, SD card included; see if you're at luck and ADB or fastboot still works by flashing the stock Amazon OS, assuming CMD still recognizes your fastboot.
Other than that, I'm out of options. I'd try to return it and hope for a refund or an exchange. However, you're only dealing with a soft brick, because if it's a hard brick, the whole tablet won't turn on at all, so at least it's not a paperweight at this point. I'd try to reach out to Hashcode or Soupmagnet or Reverendkjr on this forum and ask for help.
Yes, all that and tried
It sounds like your kindle updated to 7.3.0 the boot loader hack doesn't get along with that...read the last few pages in the boot loader three I think you'll fix your problem

SAME HERE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!! DONT USE KF First Aide tool!!!
Help the same thing has happened to me i need to get in to fastboot mode but i cant
any help would be great
is their a kindle fIre hd recovery tool from amazon as i cant boot up
this was the kf first aid tool that did this to me
There's actually a way I can think of, but I don't know if it will work. As long as you can find the bootloader files for the tablet, you can try to ask someone to JTAG your KFHD7. The process involves taking apart the tablet, using electricity to provide power while re-writing the bootloader so you can end up in fastboot mode. It's not very expensive, a regular Galaxy S3 takes 45-60 bucks and within a week. That's the only thing I have left for y'all.

So when you plug in your factory cable and power it on it enters fastboot.... correct? But then the computer does not detect the fastboot drivers? I'm a bit confused lol

Have you tried installing kindle first aide tool which can be found on a thread in this forum. I had the same problem with the red screen so I bought a factory cable, directed the computer to the KFF folder and installed the fastboot driver. After that the computer recognised my device and I was able to restore using option 3 of the first aide tool. Hope this helps. Good luck

jmar8124 is correct, my device enter fasboot mode but the computer no detect device.
Can you send fastboot commands to it? Try "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot" and see if it reboots. As long as you can send fastboot commands to it, you're good to go.
Let me start by saying that I'm new to the Android scene and that I'm currently deployed in the Navy so Internet is slow and time consuming. So if you help can you please provide links to what I need and in specific detail? I would greatly appreciate this.
Yesterday I was trying to replace my stock Lock screen photos by editing the file framework-res.apk. All I did was replace the stock photos with photos of my own. To make a long story short it didn't work. Now when I boot my Kindle Fire 7" HD it boot's into a recovery screen. The boot shows a White "Kindle" and a orange "Fire". Once that's complete it goes to a screen that says
Kindle fire System Recovery
Your Kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot...
I tried the Reset to Factory Defaults but this doesn't work. My kindle was on FW 7.2.3 and was Rooted. I don't think I ever made a back up of anything. I guess I need help getting back to stock 1st and then I'll figure out how to ROOT it again. I just want the thing to work while I'm on deployment.
Thanks for the help!!
So no one has answered me yet so I did some digging around and have a couple questions that hopefully someone can answer.
I have a Factory Cable on the way so I can put my Kindle Fire in FastBoot mode. For some reason the computer wont recognize my Kindle through adb, so I'm using the below trend to install the adb, but not ROOT the kindle. That step will be later. Is this the best way to install the Drivers to access my Kindle? And will adb still work with the FastBoot mode?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
Once I have the drives installed and the computer see's the Kindle I plan on using the below trend to re-flash the .img back to the kindle. I also plan on upgrading to 7.3.0 as I'm on 7.2.3 right now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
If all goes well then I will re-root the kindle. I'm having all the installs and .img's sent to me.
Does this plan look good and does it make since to anyone that knows more than I do? Again any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, I hopefully will get the KFHD_SRT v1.3.0 tool soon, I'm having it sent to me through the mail as seeing as the file is over 1gb and I can't really download anything to the ship. I know I'm still waiting on my cable. Once I get it I hope to be back up and running.
Thanks again for the help.
I apologize for yet another of these types of posts as I know there are a ton because I've been searching through them for a few days now. I can't seem to find a solution to my problem that works so hopefully someone can point me to the correct thread or help me directly. Here is my problem:
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7". I had successfully rooted the device, but then I went and screwed all that up by trying to mod it to get the android market (I, as a noob, changed a system value I shouldn't have - oops). After that, my kindle was/still is stuck on the System Recovery screen. The one where you can choose to reboot or erase all/reboot. Tried both, didn't work, got a factory cable from Skorpn (thank you!!).
I can now get my kindle to to show 'Fastboot Kindle Fire' on it's screen, but my computer doesn't recognize it as a Kindle. It shows it as 'Tate-PVT-08'. I found some threads on here about that and downloaded the drivers/installed them. The computer still does not recognize it as anything other than the tate thing. Grar. I have the android sdk stuff and the KFFirstAide. I'm using Windows 7 OS if it matters. But I do not know how to proceed without getting the dumb computer to recognize my device, so please help me out if you know how to do this. I'm about ready to throw the darn thing into the street and run it over multiple times with my jeep! It's been unusable for 6 months now! And yes, I'm a pathetic noob, and a girl to boot so keep that in mind... I apologize.

User stunts513 has a driver install package in his signature & profile that you can use to get your drivers working properly. If that doesn't work, you may want to try other, non-Windows based options.

Thanks for the pointer - I think it got me a tiny bit further. After finding the package and 'fixing' drivers - woo-hoo - my computer is saying that the device is working properly now, I can see it as 'Kindle Fire' in my device manager. However, it still is showing up as 'Tate-PVT-08' under Devices and Printers, and it cannot be found (isn't communicating) with ADB. I feel like I'm missing something so small to be able to move forward and reflash this thing - it's so incredibly frustrating to not be able to find it. :/
I also have tried editing the adb usb file to include the 0x1949, having gone through the adb kill/start-server commands several times, which hasn't changed anything. Is there anything I am missing to get windows and adb to communicate with it? Or is my only option at this point trying 'non-Windows based options'?
You don't use adb commands with fastboot, you use fastboot commands. I think at this point you said you have kffa, so try getting it to reflash the system image. I don't know the option number though.

Sooo, I feel even stupider now. I do have KFFA, so I tried to reflash the system image. It went through and gave me a success, although it did have an issue with erasing user data and cache. It said to disconnect from the computer/usb and power down, then restart. I did that and was super hopeful - it went through the boot screen a few more times than normal... but then BAM. Right back to the Kindle Fire System Recovery screen that it can't get past. Ugh. I must have really screwed something up on it.
Hmm. I just did some more digging on fastboot commands and found the fastboot mode guide on here. Going through that, I checked my hardware IDs, and one of the numbers are off, which according to the guide means that my Kindle isn't in fastboot mode (and this is while using the fastboot cable). If I use a regular USB cable, it doesn't show up at all anywhere. The more I research, the more confused I get. Everything seems geared towards fixing your device if it is stuck in a bootloop (mine goes through that and sticks at the recovery screen) or being able to get it into fastboot, which I cannot seem to do even with the cable. I guess I'm going to try to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for it again, but I'm starting to believe that whatever value I changed while in super user mode before my problems began are going to make it impossible to fix...
The hardware I'd should be 0x1949, and at this point I'm guessing maybe something is wrong with something in the data partition or you have a bad kernel. I don't know how to wipe the data partition from fastboot though. I don't know if kffa reflashes the boot partition, but you could always try that since a system reflash didn't work, or you could try reflashing the system image again, there's another tool in the android development section called kindle fire system restore tool, maybe it will work better for you. Here's the other tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Ignore the part about that adb command, that's only for of your kindle can actually boot up.

Be very careful of what guides you use around here. Some of them (fastboot guide in particular) are made with the original Kindle Fires in mind, and can lead you to do irreversible damage.
I'll try that in the morning... I spent most of my day at this and need a break! Thank you so much for trying to help me out. I really appreciate any and all pointers.
