Before i state my problem i am a complete n00b to this but i would greatly appreciate some help.
I just completed the tutorial to install Ice Cream Sandwich on my Kindle, i completed it up to the point where you flash the ROM and it crashed and now it is stuck in the AOKP boot screen with the unicorn but does go any further. It shows up in my device manager still but as ADB composite device but i cannot connect to it with ADB, FFF, fastboot or anything at all. I have tried everything but it wont let me make any changes or even access TWRP. Does anybody know how i can fix this? Thanks.

You're in the wrong forum. This is for 2nd gen Kindle fires. You need to find the forum for original fires

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.
Okay so hey guys, so first off I've searched all over the forums for a potential fix with no such luck so i'm finally making a post seeing if anyone has a fix.
So the issue, my Kindle Fire HD 7"(2012 version) is rooted, TWRP is installed, and i tried flashing Cyanogen mod 12.1(clean flash, not a dirty flash), everything went fine until CM 12.1 started booting up. At this point the little blue android head loading comes up before the screen transitions to a "optimizing apps 1 of 95" window, when that gets done it goes back to the blue android head before transitioning to another "optimizing apps 1 of 16" window, once that completes it just alternates between the CM blue android logo and another "optimizing apps 1 of 16".
I have tried turning off and booting in TWRP recovery mode by holding the up volume button until the blue fire logo displays and then letting go(even tried holding it and not letting go) but it just waits 15-20 seconds on the blue fire logo before transitioning again to the CM blue android boot up logo and beginning a boot loop again.
I also have tried ADB to get into recovery mode but my kindle is unauthorized, it's recognized when i type in the command "adb devices" it's just not authorized. Apparently to authorize it, when you try to get adb to recognize it and it says it isn't authorized, a prompt on whatever device you are using comes up once you unlock the screen asking whether or not you want to authorize said device with said computer. I know this because that's what came up on my phone when i tried to get adb to recognize it, once i accepted it it became authorized and i could use commands with it such as simply rebooting it. I have yet to find a way to authorize my kindle through the terminal rather than through the device itself.
I have not tried the kindle fire first aide as the link for that .zip file on this site takes me to a file storage website that says the shared file or folder link has been removed, so if anyone knows where that .zip file is and thinks it will solve me issue, link me to it please.
I also have not tried Kindle Fire Utility as to my knowledge that tool is for original Kindle Fires only, if that is wrong and it will work just as well for Kindle Fire HD 7"(2012 version) then sorry for my noobness in that aspect.
If no one knows of or has a potential fix i can still buy a fastboot cable and figure out how to fix it through there, i was just wondering if there was any alternative method before i bought one.
Thanks to all who will contribute to me fixing this problem! -Mayhem
EDIT-Solved, not entirely sure how but managed to finally get into TWRP and re-flash everything

How did you do it?
I recently Updated To CM12 and had alot of apps on my kindle so i decided to factory reset it but now when ever i boot up my kindle it boots straight to TWRP but never loads it just keeps flashing on the TWRP boot screen im not sure if i can connect my device to my computer i think it may be because i need the drivers not sure next time i get a hold of the kindle ill try. When i plug the kindle in i hear the windows noise that happens every time u plug something in also i have an option to eject it from my tray but i cant view the files.
Tried To FLash TWRp Again
So someone said that you could try to flash Twrp Again or something so in fastboot i typed adb flash recovery Twrp.img but it kept saying waiting for device. i tried a different command Adb Reboot and that rebooted the kindle back into recovery but it still flashes but good news that it can connect to my pc.

Hey guys,
hope you can help me. Have a little problem: After trying to root my fire, it is in a bootloop and i don't know what to do. Hope you can help me. I guess it is bricked.
Thanks
EDIT:
I tried to sideload the software bin, but it didn't worked. Also my computer doesn't show the devices with "adb devices".

Others have found that the fire will only show up on your pc after you select the sideload option on the fire. If it still doesn't show, try unplugging / replugging the usb. It seems to help some people to get it to appear. Also note that some devices will intentionally not allow you to flash bin if the battery level isn't high enough. It's a safety measure since running out of battery during a flash = brick. Be sure you're fully charged.
thanks, but..
Thank you for your response. I've tried everythin you said, but it didn't worked. Don't know what to do

Hello, I'm a long time user of the forums I haven't had a new device to root since 2013 when I did my Nexus 7 FHD. I have always followed directions correctly and never bricked anything.... until now.
So anyway just got this tablet black friday sale and within minutes of opening the package I started to read up on rooting it.
I got into fastboot and started up TWRP_Fire_2.8.7.0 I made a backup on the device without error.
Then I installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 and tried to install open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20151129 but it failed.
I wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted. Now the tablet tries to boot into normal mode in a loop without success.
I have tried to get into recovery mode (volume down and power) but it fails and loops back to normal mode.
I can get into fastboot mode (volume up and power) and then back into TWRP however restoring the backup doesn't fix the boot loop.
I downloaded update-kindle-37.5.2.2_user_522053820.bin however I can't seem to figure out how to load it with TWPR sideload, and as I said I can't get into recovery mode.
Can anybody help me? @sd_shadow

:good: Awesome thank you very much, I thought about doing just that but figured I better ask the pros first.
I somehow missed that post on unbricking... :silly:
It's exactly as the title mentions...
Basically I had this tablet for two years, and I love this tablet, we've been through a lot when it came to flashing ROMs and other stuff, the journey so far has been awesome and I don't want it to end here and I won't give up on this tablet!
So here goes... basically I have installed the Magisk Manager app and in the app I chose to install Magisk V14.0 (I chose the recommended option) and once it has finished downloading and installing I then decided to reboot it. Upon rebooting i noticed that the kindle kept rebooting every 3 seconds, so I knew at that point I seriously screwed up!
I'm on the resurrection remix (marshmallow) and when it was installing the Magisk file it said it was updating the boot.img, I think that's the reason why my kindle is acting up. I don't know really know how to fix this issue as I've tried to go into recovery but it simply will not allow me to because it keeps rebooting and doesn't even give me a chance (which is giving me a headache). I looked on similar posts and users have said that a fastboot cable is needed, but I don't have one and I was wondering if using a normal USB cable would do the trick with ADB commands... if possible. If this requires me to purchase (or make) a fastboot cable then I will gladly order (or make) one.
And if ADB method does work, please tell me specific commands to use, and so. Also I have tried getting my laptop (windows 10) to recognise my device, but even when attached and the tablet is on my device isn't showing in device manger, I have downloaded the SDK tools (not manager) and even then I can't use ADB commands in CMD. I typed "ADB shell" (without commas) and even then it won't allow me to access ADB (so please guide me on this area as well).
If you're a user who is interested in helping others and likes to face a challenge, then please step right up and help me as I need all the help at this point! Thank you!

Yes, you are going to need a fastboot cable. You can pick one up on Amazon for cheap or you can make your own by using some tutorial online. After you get the fastboot cable, use the Kindle Fire restore tool that I will link down below. Download it (it will take a while) and run it. Please read the directions because I didn't at first and I boot looped my Kindle by installing older recovery and boot image. After this is complete your Kindle will work again. I wouldn't recommend installing Magisk again because it modifies the boot loader. Sorry.
KFHD Restore tool (that tool that I mentioned): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Thank you for this, will. I will follow your instructions once I have received my fastboot cable
Again, thank you. I have left my tablet on my shelf for quite some time now and didn't really have time to fix it due to college work, and so. But I will definitely let you know the results :fingers-crossed:
I made pretty mutch the same error like you and flashed Magisk 12. I used the fastboot cable, entered fastboot and used the recovery tool to restore recovery and stock Rom with supersu and apex launcher. After following exectly the steps in 2. Bootloader and twrp. The problem I am facing is the same I faced before. After flashing linearOS 14 with twrp. I reboot from recovery. At first it showes the orange logo and the the blue. And it stays at blue logo for hours.
I don't know what to do. The strange thing is. I can boot in the recovered Amazonfire OS. But I can't flash any costum Rom.
I have no idea what I made wrong during the process. I followed all steps and repeated the procedure 3 times.
Always ending in blue logo.
Even without flashing any rom. Only following the steps to flash twrp with all the other stuff I am stuck on blue screen.
Please I need advice. Help me
