You need to restore.. Go back to Kindle First Aide Software, restore your selected model. Hopefully adb or fastboot is still working for you? It should be with no problem, but yea thats what you need to do.

cannot get computer to mount the fire.
saw the cable mod have a few extra cables.
will be good practice and nice to have for my next mistake.

did you fix it?

The recovery will likely remove all the apps you had installed, but that is the only way to fix your bootloader problem. It's a brand new day!

Factory cable is a must have if you have no recovery installed. You should check out both links in my signature.
GOOD LUCK!!!

I'm having the same issue. I used various tools, and all "say" they were successful, meaning they gave no errors but when I reboot, I get stuck in a bootloop at KF screen.

got it restored.

sat down when i wasn't busy and checked everything.
the clip on the end of my cable wasn't tight from when i made the factory cable.
tightened it up and reran the first aid program.
still having some problems with getting the program and computer to recognize the kindle in normal boot mode.

To fix your recognition errors, post your problems in the "Kindle Fire First Aide" thread. Once fixed, I strongly suggest you visit THIS thread and get TWRP. That will allow you to backup your "good" working setup, and give a recovery to boot into to load the backup if you ever mess it up. I have TWRP installed on my KFHD7 and have had zero problems with it.(in fact, it's saved me 3 times already)

Something is not right then.. You need to head over to the Kindle Fire First Aide thread and post you screen shots of what the software is telling you. Sometimes it will say succesful but in the writing there are errors. If you have used the restored option, while your kindle is able to use fastboot, then you should not be in a bootloop. Any other question just post them..

doing my own research its clear that the adb server is running on my pc but its not finding the device
when i manually load up adb and try to force the fastboot through i just get error device not found
and adb devices does not list anything....
looks like i need a factory cable no?
stupid passive bootloader, stupid me, should of checked the new launcher i installed was indeed launching, annoyingly i did back up the file just incase lol

[Q] Stuck On White/Blue Kindle Fire Logo

Hey there!
I had rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" with success from the instructions from this thread:
androidforums.com/kindle-fire-hd-all-things-root/669366-idiots-guide-rooting-kindle-fire-hd-7-7-2-3-a.htm
Then when I went on to section 4 (installing Google Play) to the bit where it says ' Before you go any further re-boot your kindle (Power off and power back on Kindle!)' the Kindle rebooted with the normal Kindle Fire Logo then changed to a white/blue Kindle Fire logo. It will not continue onto another screen and is stuck on it. I tried holding the power button down for 1 minute but just reboots the same. I am having problems detecting the Kindle, my computer recognises it for a few seconds then it makes a noise to suggest that it has disconnected. I am using Windows 8 32 bit. No orange triangle. My computer wouldn't let me paste files onto the the device.
Does this sound it is bricked? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I am a bit of a beginner to all this.
Thanks

The white and blue logo sounds like Hashcodes second bootloader.
Look about right?..... Even though it's a crappy picture of it...

Thank you very much. If the link doesn't work type: Idiots Guide To Rooting Kindle Fire HD

Found it. Read it. Makes no mention of a second bootloader.... I'll read more in depth. You may want to purchase a factory cable. I can't guarantee that you will need it but it's better to be prepared if someone has a solution and it requires one. A $13 investment that will save your kf when all else fails. I can't give you the exact answer but I can direct you in the right direction. The solution may be simple or it may be a pain.
Lemme get you some links.
Go here and ask about the boot logo. > Hashcodes 2nd bootloader & TWRP
And here for factory cable and possible recovery software > kindle fire first aide
Good luck.

I tried to post a comment on that thread but I do not have permission to access the page. So you think if all else fails the factory cable should sort it out? In theory....

You should be able to post a reply in the thread I linked, (bootloader). The cable is always good to have incase you have bootloader issues. Give the Kindle Fire first aide software a chance. If nothing works, even the cable, call Amazon and tell them it just died. Don't mention all the rooting business. More then likely they would send you a new one. Only use XDA methods to root your kf. AND ALWAYS GO SLOW AND READ EVERYTHING TWICE.
**EDIT** You may need a post count of 10+ to post a reply in certain threads.

Thank you very much it worked. I reinstalled it back to 7.2.3 using the factory cable then it worked fine after that, still rooted and everything. The First Aide pack is a great tool and I would recommend it to anybody.

[Q] Cant find help anywhere

Hi Guys
I have looked at most of thr threads and cant seem to find help on my issue.
I have a Kindle fire hd 7 months old and rooted it 3 weeks ago.All went well till yesterday when I was in Titainium Backup Pro when the screen froze.
I waited a few mins then switched the kindle off.A few mins later I switched it back on and it went through its stuff and came to the Kindle System Recovery screen.2 Options.
1:Reboot your kindle
2:Reset to factory reset.
I tried option 1 several times only to come back to same screen.So I tried option 2 which took a while but it still kept bringing me to the same screen.I have tried everything I can.The computer does not recognise the kindle but ut did before problem.Hope someone out there can assist.Check back later guys.

You need to put it in fast boot and reflash the system image.
I can provide more detailed instructions, but if u have a fastboot cable I can guarantee it will go I to fast boot compared to the other method that I haven't had any luck with. Read the post I just made on this thread, same stuff goes for you I just don't feel like retyping it or copying and pasting.

Think I tried Fast boot but PC didn't recognize the Kindle,but will give it a go.I contacted Amazon about the issue and they have said they will send me a replacement out if I wish,if I send my Kindle back having kept putting it back to Factory settings will they know its been rooted when they check it.

OK I'm slightly confused, so did u get it into fastboot mode? The screen would say fast boot if you did. And if u got it into fast boot, are u saying the PC didn't pick it up at all or just didn't find any drivers it could install for it? Btw, personally I wouldn't send this in to amazon, just because it is entirely fixable and if you ship it in you lose any data you had. By reflashing the system image it should wipe any of your apps or files on the data and SD card partitions.

Hi Stunt.I have tried all ways to get it into Fastboot but no luck.I have followed just about everyones instructions but it keeps coming back to the same screen.Im not bothered about losing my data I can allways load it back on the new one(I wouldn't be rooting that one).I you can think of any way for me I would be greatfull.Allso if I do send it back can they tell its rooted?.cheers Stunt.

Your going to need a fast boot cable then, they are fairly cheap, around 10-15$ unless you decide to make one, but u need a soldering iron, and a wire, that's about it, it is just a solder from pin 4 to v+ on the miniusb plug. Once you plug that into it it will immediately goto fastboot and from their you reflash the system image. Its really easy to do, i had to help my friend over skype do it when somehow he bricked his kindle using fireflash. Wasn't webcamming him to make sure he downgraded the bootloader when he did it...And yes I am pretty sure they can tell its rooted.

Don't forget to check eBay for fastboot cables too - $4.45 for the one I got. There is also someone on the forums selling them (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20380015#post20380015) if you wish to support one of our members.
You'll know it's fastboot -- just like stunts said -- since it will automatically put your Kindle into that mode as soon as it's connected to the computer. Start with it turned off, plug in the cable, and then watch it go into Fastboot mode. Then you need to flash the system.img according to the instructions on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254

[Q] Flashed Wrong Bootloader [KFHD7]

Long story short I flashed a 7.2.3 bootloader from hashcodes TWRP thread to my KFHD7 and now it wont turn on at all. I have a factory cable but fastboot and adb can't do anything since the bootloader isn't even loaded yet. I'm sort of nervous to do the USB boot trick because I heard that that trick was designed for an older kindle model. I'm downloading Firekit now but the option I need to fix my kindle requires the USB boot trick so will that trick work on my kindle or not? Also could anyone point me in the right direction to flashing a CORRECT bootloader so this doesent happen a third time? (My kindle's OS is 7.4.3 with OTA disabled)
P.S. The file attached is the bootloader I flashed.

I would not do what you are attempting, the older tricks and utilities are not usually something u mix with the new kindles. When u say factory cable I have to ask do u mean the cable that came with the kindle or a fastboot cable. If its a fastboot cable then when u hook your kindle up to your PC with it it should make the kindle say fastboot on the screen. If it can then u can reflash the 7.2.3 uboot file. That should fix it. If instead your PC picks up an omap440 device then you are in trouble.

Hmm that's bad, year uncould try seeing if the battery would charge. Ur I'm guessing hard brick, I'd wait to see if anyone else has any other suggestions. I'm guessing when u flashed this either u didn't check the md5 signature first or u tried flashing the zip file instead of what's in it. Sorry if the second one sounds a bit condescending I just don't know how well you are with pc's. If its hard bricked you could try sending it to amazon, they might replace it. Lookup some tips on the forum for she ding it in because I hard things about telling them its rooted but not that u have flashed it or something, cause technically u void the warranty when u root it but sometimes they are forgiving. Anyways see if some other people respond before sending it in.

Sorry to tell you but there is nothing you can do. The "usb boot trick" does not work on the new gen models. I have seen numerous people with the same problem and no solution has been found.

I'm a little confused as to why the fastboot cable won't work. It should entirely bypass the need for a boot loader, that's sort of the whole point.
What happens when you plug in your fastboot cable (to both your PC and your kindle) and power on? Do you even get the orange kindle flash animation?

I don't know where you get that idea, but you are radically misguided. The bootloader is never "bypassed" when using a factory cable. The bootloader is fully functional and doing exactly what it is programmed to do, which is, enable fastboot while a factory cable is plugged in.
However in your case, the bootloader isn't even being loaded because the OMAP ROM has completely halted the boot process...which is exactly why the factory cable will not work.

That's what I thought at first too, but then I thought I heard something about the boot loader having fast boot in it, now I am just confusing myself. Fast boot has to be stored somewhere on the kindle, for some reason I always thought of it as a chip that wasn't part of the onboard storage, but then I realized if we get omap440 bricks and fastboot won't kick in it must be part of the partitions, so I am inclined to think its stored in the boot loader. If I am wrong I would love to know where it is stored out of curiosity.

Wait a sec I just found something: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2135611
Could these drivers be used to somehow communicate with the kindle? Maybe prevent the OMAP ROM from stopping the booting process?
If not then I'll just buy a new kindle, since I can't even access the filesystem to delete the su and busybox binaries if I wanted to send it back to amazon.

The drivers are useful, but not to the point we can use them, we need a program that knows how to communicate sending data to the kindle thru omap440 interface. Much like how adb drivers are useless without the adb program.

Some of the most talented and experienced developers and hackers in the community have been looking at this problem for some time now. The Kindle Fire is not the only device to have OMAP HS processors with M-Shield turned on, and it definitely isn't the first.
Believe me, if there is a solution to this problem, it will be found, but by those who are waaaaaaay more experienced than any of us.
The best you can do at this point is learn from your experience, be much more careful in the future, and do the appropriate amount of research the next time you decide to modify your device.

Don't waste your time. The initial USB loader used to flash images to the eMMC must also be digitally signed. Unless, by some miracle, you happen to have a copy...it won't work. You'd be better off either trying to get a copy of the boot tools used by Amazon in the factory (somewhere in China), or finding an exploit in the OMAP ROM code which, I'm guessing, probably isn't available either.

Well I still do have my kindle so if you do happen to get usbboot and aboot working I'd gladly have my kindle be the lab rat for it. But the only problem is the signature for the USB loader, just like soupmagnet said.

sorry about how old this thread is, but I flashed a good bootloader to my Kindle (forgot the exact model), but it was for a different Kindle. Is there anything I can do? My computer doesn't pickup ANYTHING when I plug it in.

Kindle Fire HD 7" Stuck on Fastboot Logo & Multiple other problems

Hi all,
I got really interested in rooting and such my Kindle Fire. However, when I used the tool on here for installing Google Play and its components, my dog accidentally pulled on the cable, disconnecting the Kindle mid-process of the tool.
Tool was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329
No however upon boot up, my kindle shows NO ads now. Then when I unlock it, it's extremely sluggish, shows no icons in the carousel, but still recognizes all my personal data and can still be accessed via computer.
I've tried loads of different things to fix it, but to no avail. I've gone into Fastboot mode (Though it just remains stuck at the logo) and when I try these two tools, nothing seems to help fix the problem.

Any suggestions guys? Any help will be great. I'd just like to get it back to the way it was.

Ugh I think I vaguely remember what causes this but not well enough to fix it, so what did you do so far, did you reflash the system partition? Because I think this might be in the /data folder in a build.prop but I am unsure, I know the main built.prop you usually see is in the /system folder. This I think has something to do with a qemu property but like I said I hope I am pointing you in decent direction. I will see if I can pull up a similar post and give you a link to a fix.

Thanks for the advice, but sadly I'm unfamiliar with loads of the inner workings, since I was using the automatic coders to get the roms in and etc.
All I really did was start the Tool, hit the number on CMD for applying the Google Play stuff (NOTE: I manually rooted the kindle before hand) then the dog thing happened. Now it's as I've said. I don't own the Fastboot cable either, but I DO get to go to Fastboot Mode (Logo Only) through the tool.

Be careful, I don't know if that tool is from this section of the forum, and some tools from the kf1 section can hard brick your kindle, still looking for the thread BTW.
Edit: I can't seem to find the thread... I don't like recomending doing this since it will wipe all your apps and their data, but do a factory reset from the kindles settings if you can get to it, I think it will fix the problem, not positive.

I've been looking into it, I may have used stuff for Gen 1 Kindle's, so yeah, that could have been the problem.
Gonna do the factory reset, only thing I haven't tried. Transferring photos. Lady friend may stab me for losing those.
Thanks again for the advice. I'll get back to you with any change.

Ah thanks to soupemagnet he reminded me of what I am thinking of, you need to delete /data/local.prop
Hope you get this before you lose any data.

Thanks for all the tips, go it to work. Sadly I already did the factory reset, and now it's all back to normal.
Any guides out there to get the Kindle to A Full on tablet? I'd be trusting only the ones you send now. Don't want to use a guide for KF1s.

If you mean flashing a ROM of an actual android os, here's the guide for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
Just make sure that in fire flash you check the box with the red warning text or your kindle will have a red screen of death that only a fastboot cable will fix, also remember to put a copy of the ROM you want to flash and gapps for that ROM on the kindles sdcard before flashing or you might get stuck in a recovery loop depending on your kindle os version. That tutorial also has some ROMs on it you can use, there might be others in the development section its from you can use as well depending on whenever the last time seokhun updated that tut. That tutorial may be lengthy, but make sure you read all of it, that way you make sure you follow exactly what it says to do and reduce your chances of bricking. Its always better to be safe when messing with a locked devices boot loader than sorry.
