[Q] Kindle Fire HD 7 possible brick???

Good day!
Kindle Fire HD 7 7.2.2 was succesfully rooted through Qemu
After that start the Root Explorer and frozen some programs from Amazon
After Root explorer closed - system wrote that the application is not responding and offered either wait or force close.
Waited about 5 minutes and then forcibly closed.
The tablet is rebooted and it now shows a picture Kindle Fire, which is quickly poured color.
Tell me what to do? Can I fix something back?
Thanks in advance!

I believe that at this point, all you can do is put the tablet in Odin (fastboot) mode and flash a image containing the partitions. You'll have to Google to see if anyone has uploaded genetic partitions for the HD. The problem is that no one has come up with a working boot recovery that most other Android devices have that allow you to run a restore. I've seen several postings of developers working on this.

I understand that I need a cable factory, similar to Kindle Fire. The manual, which indicates how to make such a cable was told to solder one pin and 4-pin. After that, download the program from the subject http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 and take a backup to 7.2.2, as of 7.2.1 is not suitable.
I understand you correctly? And if so, where to take a backup of 7.2.2?
Thanks in advance!

I'm the living testimonial and last survivor for this bricking journey. I had my device rooted on the second day that I got my KFHD, then bricked it and kept in the kindle fire bootloop for days.
I was a bit sceptical to buy a factory cable initially as I would have to wait for weeks over this part on earth. But after reading all the sources available online and I know this factory cable is unavoidable, I ordered, waited and received my factory cable and guess what, this is just like the immediate antidote given to the sleeping beauty, after I plugged in the factory cable and carefully followed the instructions by the seniors here, I unbricked my KFHD in 10 minutes.
My two-cents advice is, if you are adventurous type and plan to go wild with your KFHD, get your factory cable before anything else, then, you can experiment all the wonderful ideas/ modding here.
Good luck and have fun!

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!!!

the clip on the end of my cable wasn't tight from when i made the factory cable.

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..

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] How can i install TWRP and 2nd Bootloader on Kindle FireHD 7 OS 7.4.6

Can someone point me in a direction to install twrp and 2nd bootloader on KindleFire HD 7, OS version is 7.4.6.. Do i need to downgrade to 7.2.3? Please advise. Kindle Fire HD7 is already rooted with Binary's root. Thanks in advance.

I tried putting a 2nd bootloader/twrp/custom rom on mine 4 times and bootlooped every time. I used Kindle Fire First Aide to return to 7.2.3 so I could use the 7.2.3 bootimg and have a match. Things we're real slick and problem free from then on.
There are three great sets of instructions about this concerning KFHD on here and a long topic about KFFA.
Do you have a factory fastboot cable? If you bootloop your tablet, you will need it.

That standard USB will do you no good after you bootloop which is likely if you proceed running 7.4.6. I highly recommend using KFFA to go back to 7.2.3 and then use Hashcode's 7.2.3 bootimg and the 2.6.0 TWRP file he lists and flash them with Fire flash. There are topics on this forum that cover Kindle Fire First Aide as well as twrp/2nd bootloader /custom rom. Read up on them to get some good background first.

I started the process in KFFA before your post.. Worst case scenario ill do it over with fasboot cable once i get it

so i ended with a triangle.. soft brick.. i guess i will need factory cable now correct? Please advise. tHanks

I tried to did advise you already. Yes, you will need a fastboot cable. Use KFFA to go back to 7.2.3 and go from there.

[Q] Installing Bootloader & TWRP with KFFIRSTAIDE!

Hi,
I just wanted to ask when flashing a new rom with KFFIRSTAIDE how long should it take? It's just my KFHD7 went to the FastBoot logo screen and it says now flashing the freedom boot loader, how long should that take? I've not done this before so didn't know if it's still working even if it looks like it isn't.
Thanks

Can take an hour or more to return to stock. Do yourself a favor and do not use KFFA to push TWRP and custom ROM, 2nd bootloader. There are other topics that cover that on here. Use KFFA to restore, root, add GAPPS and attain Super User.

If you bootloop, you will need a fastboot cord. You can go to Hashcode's 2nd bootloader / TWRP topic if you want to use push commands from using 7.4.6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848.
You can also go to seokhun's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 and flash the 2nd bootloader / TWRP. If you do this you will want to full restore to 7.2.3 using KFFA first or bootlooping is highly likely.
Some great info about this on Opemsystem's thread as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347170

Thank you for the links.
I have a question. My mom owns a kfhd7. Months ago I used kindle fire first aid (iirc) to root it. I did not have a fastboot cable, although I did get the drivers and adb working to it - I didn't want to flash a 2nd bootloader or custom recovery because I wasn't quite sure if I would soft brick it or if I could get it back without the fastboot cable. Not wanting to risk the wrath of mom... I used a utility to force golauncher, enable sound tweaks and live wallpapers. I left it like that.
But.
She somehow enabled parental controls and doesn't have a password for it... And is running out of books. So I may have an opportunity to make it a little more useful and install a custom recovery.
Not sure what to do next. Follow the 3rd thread on your list? I need a boot loader and custom recovery.
Halo?

Link 2 and 3 cover the same ground. The 3rd link covers some important information that became more pertinent as the firmware expanded and bootlooping became more frequent.
Here is a very important tip. Hashcode's thread (first link) is where the boot.img and TWRP files you flash are located. Use no others unless they are posted by him. When you restore back to 7.2.3, use the boot.img listed in Hashcode's step 4. Not number 4 of step 2 but step 4. Use that 7.2.3 boot.img and which ever TWRP he has in his original post. This way you have a match and if you read and follow the instructions exactly, you should turn out just fine.

One more thing. Before you flash, stick the ROM you want to use on the root of your SD card first. This way it is thee no matter what.

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.
Tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428428
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
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.
