Hello there. I recently rooted my kindle fire HD 7" (2 days ago) and have since been customizing it to my hearts extent. Yesterday I decided to install a custom ROM. It doesn't matter which one as I didn't even get to install it. After putting the twrp .img file and the freedom boot .img file onto the sdcard and installing fireflash, I ran fireflash as specified here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 ( I did not follow the backup step as it said it was not mandatory, I realize now that I should have). I have ordered a factory cable, however I would prefer if there were a way to unbrick without one. I am still quite a noob at this stuff. I looked around on XDA to see if I could find my problem (and solution) elsewhere, however the only similar problems to mine didn't have conclusive answers. If there is no way to fix it without a factory cable, a link to how to fix it with the cable would be appreciated.
More details on my issue:
Device: Kindle Fire HD 7"
Issue: Device turns on, stays for approximately 4 secs, and shuts off/repeats.
Extra: No backup has been made (except for a clockworkmod nandroid backup on the sdcard I made with an app a while ago)
I do not have a factory cable, though i have ordered one and can still cancel it. I would prefer not to use it though.
I have tried using the Kindle fire unbricking utility, though I assume that it is either meant for original fires or requires a factory cable (It usually says Error: device not found or <waiting for device>.
I have the Android sdk adb package installed.
Thank you in advance
Summary: My kindle fire hd is stuck on a boot loop. If there is a way to unbrick it without a factory cable that would be phenomenal.
Same situation, but I have factory cable...anyone can help?
You don't use adb commands with fastboot, also that command is what you would normally run to get into fastboot from an unbricked device, seeing as you have a fastboot cable, you don't need to run any commands. Once you plug your kindle in with the fastboot cable your kindke should power on and display "fastboot" on the screen. If it does that much, I believe kindle fire first aid can do the rest from here.
Edit: just to verify, when you said factory cable, you didn't mean the cable that came with the device did you? Because that's just a standard cable.

Just to make sure, Kindle fire first aid is for the HD correct? If so could you provide a link?
It works on kf2, and both hd's, anyways here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
I think you just need to restore the stock system partition.

Thanks! I'm assuming this will unroot the device, is that true? Also since my last attempt obviously failed, could you provide either a link or just tell me how I would go about fully backing up the system? Also would backing up the system have made a difference at all in this situation?
Thanks for all your help!
This doesn't unroot it, because in order to make that image it restores from, we have to have it rooted. Backups are very useful, especially your boot0 and data partitions. Your boot0 block is unique to every kindle and stores data such as your serial number and mac address and such, so it is always a good idea to back it up, and your data partition usually doesn't get messed up when messing with the system but its also so a good idea to back it up. The rest you can get off the forums, though be careful with flashing bootloader images from the forum, if you DL the wrong one or the right one and don't check its integrity by viewing its md5sum, you can hard brick the device. BTW the instructions for backing up your kindle are in that link u have in the first post. You just need to have a copy of adb lying around and know how to use command prompt. Kffa might also have a backup option, but I don't know what partitions it covers.

KFFA doesn't back up the data partition. It only backs up 11 of the Kindle's partitions, including the system, boot, and recovery partitions. I learned this the hard way. If you want to back up your data, use TWRP.

That's alright, if I ever do brick it again (hopefully I won't) I can just use Gamekiller (better version of GameCIH) to get back to roughly where I used to be in games, etc. and I could care less about my accounts and info since I didn't have much on it. (I'm assuming that's what you're talking about when you say "data")

When I say data, I mean accounts, yes, but I also mean app data, such as saved game progress or user settings. But hey, what you do with your data is totally up to you. I'm paranoid, so I tend to back up whatever I can
@stunts513, Hey, I just restored my Kindle with the factory cable and KFFA, and it worked! It had a little trouble the first time turning on, as it would show the logo for a while, the screen would flash and suddenly the logo would go again, this time animated, for a long time. I restarted it and tried again a few times till it finally worked. I hope this won't become a problem in the future, but for now thank you so much stunts for helping me with this! I'm afraid this is the end of custom ROM's for me, since I'm too worried about this happening again to do it. Without further ado, I'll get out of your hair for the time being, but again thanks for all the help.
100% same problem
Dude did found anyway to fix that? If you did please replay some details i need your help!!!
Members,
I need your help for my KINDLE fire 7 " HD stuck at bootlogo. I just came back from work and switched on my KINDLE but it booted and got stuck at 'KINDLE FIRE' boot logo. I tried every possible troubleshooting method, like giving hard reset but nothing works. It switches ON and gets stuck at the LOGO. Going by the forums I know that I need a fastboot cable which I have already ordered and expecting the delivery.
Can you plz guide me how to proceed once I have the cable with me ?
Thanks in advance for your time.

You'll be fine once your fastboot cord arrives. Reference this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37169349 to return to 7.2.3 stock. And reference this video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw&desktop_uri=/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw to get your ADB drivers properly installed.

Fastboot cord uses fastboot commands while in fastboot. This is the link to Kindle Fire FirstAid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 Once you follow the steps for setup and run it, you will choose number 3 to go back to 7.2.3 When asked if you want to reboot into fastboot, choose no because you are in fastboot.
You can use the regular USB to get into fastboot mode but not now that you are in a bootloop. After running KFFA to restore to 7.2.3 you will also use it to root and remove OTA updates then install gapps or if you are going to go custom romm with 2nd bootloader and TWRP recovery, skip gapps and move on to the latter. Do NOT use KFFA to install TWRP/2nd bootloader or any ROM. Use FireFlash.

So you're saying that you had a bootloop and you ran Kindle Fire FirstAide. Which numbers/options did you press? Plugging that fastboot cord in will power your Kindle Fire HD and send it into fastboot no matter the battery charge. Where did you get the fastboot cord from? A reliable source? I'm only asking because if the battery were low and the wire that connects pins 1 to 4 (think) that energize the Kindle into fastboot mode are somehow faulty, then this would stop the kindle from going into fastboot. However, if the fastboot cord is working, it would seem you have a hard brick. I will look around to see if there is a solution for this.

Thanks for help mate. I bought it from amazon and it seemed to be the most reliable source http://www.amazon.com/EarlyBirdSavi...ywords=kindle+factory+cable&tag=s601000020-20
I firstly reboot the bootloader couple of times like people suggested me. When that didn't help I restored it and like i gave a detail in other post that it took fair amount of time like 45 mins of reading and writing the .img files. Even the message was prompted that 'Your kindle has been restored to 7.2.3, the only thing is that all this while the display of my Kindle didn't changed and was fixed on 'Fastboot Kindle fire' logo. I was disappointed with this device from start due to that crappy kindle OS which made it way too slow and things kept freezing and crashing all the time. Since I am in colombia and used a freight service for this cable to be delivered, i ended up paying 30 USD for the cable. I don't think I will be sending it for repair , it just don't worth it the expenses for the repair and the shipping cost from Colombia and vice versa. May be will keep experimenting and looking on XDA if at some point of time hard brick issue could be fixed.
Not to ring up the past...
But, I cannot get my kindle to work with adb to save my life.
I have the adb drivers
Fastboot finds the device
Its stuck in bootloop so the only to communicate with it is though fastboot cable.
please help

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, I can't turn ADB debugging on because there is no way to get access to the menu system. Is there another manner of fastbooting and of reflashing image you can possibly recommend to bypass not having access to the launcher? Again thanks in advance!
I'm not sure what is possible via fb other than adb. Try googling flash factory image & see what you find. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes,there is. The following commands will flash the boot,recovery and system images while in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img
Hi im having problems with my kindle fire hd 2nd gen. I rooted and installed cm12 or 13 on it and it was working well but i lost root so i flashed Supersu through twrp now my device is bootlooping on the amazon fire boot screen. I couldn't get into fastboot so bought a fastboot cable which has arrived today (2 weeks from china) now when i plug it in the device goes into fastboot mode but my windows 10 shows it in device manager as Other Devices Tate -pvt-08. I cant issue commands through ADB (adb devices just shows nothing connected) if i enter the getvar command i just get waiting for device. I've reinstalled the kindle device driver and still no joy.
I also made a complete backup of my kindle before i rooted it which i have stored safely. but i need to know how i can push them to my kindle and how to make my laptop see the kindle.
I'm struggling now and pretty lost with it all if someone could lend a hand and tell me what im doing wrong

cant remember what i did tbh, ive just fired my kndle up first time in a while and the rom im using is Omni Rom 6.0 its old (2016) but works. i remember using adb to push backed up partition images and literally started from scratch. Not much help but it was quite some time ago
thinking of trying this rom at some point as its 2018

OK, here's the thing...
I hadn't used my Kindle Fire HD for a few days but when I went to read a book (Yep.. Someone who actually uses their KFHD to read books!) I found, much to my disappointment that Amazon had managed to completely wipe it by doing one of their (in)famous OTA updates!
Being totally hacked off at this, I decided to follow the advice on here and Rooted it, which was surprisingly easy and went without a hitch.
I also decided to follow the advice and prevent further OTA updates by removing the "otacerts.zip" file but, on restart I still got an "Updating..." message.
In the same folder as otacerts.zip there was also an "otacerts" folder, which I also removed and this stopped the "Updating...." message.
Excellent, I thought except when I went to Re-Register the device, I get a "No Network Connection" error message which requests that I connect to a wireless network - except that the device IS connected and I can browse the internet quite happily.
Everything I have tried since then has failed to get rid of this error - even multiple Factory Resets have not cured it - and an hour chatting to one of their Tech Bods couldn't resolve it either.
I have tried downloading the latest update from Amazon but, as it is the same version as on my device, it does nothing.
I thought if I re-instated the otacerts stuff it might cure the problem - except during the many updates it seems to have been dumped as I can no longer find the files on my device.
I guess the bottom line is that I don't have to register with Amazon to get my device working, I have purchased a number of items from them and these will not reinstall if I cannot register the device.
So, here's my question: Can anyone help me please?
If you have a local copy of otacerts.zip that you can let me have (I have scoured Google trying to find a downloadable without success), I can try re-installing that and see if it corrects the error.
Failing that, does anyone know how to force a KFHD to do an "update" to the same software version - or can the software be rolled back and then re-updated?
Any help/advice/suggestions would be gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
Just restore a older system image from kindle fire first aid, that should do the trick, it will even put it into fastboot for you so it can do this, though I can't seem to remember if it tries to do it via adb or fastboot itself, so if it doesn't want to boot into fastboot via the default way in the script u have to simply use adb and run: adb shell "su -c 'reboot bootloader'". Sorry if that was a bit of excess info, just covering my bases. You also may need the driver in my signature once its in fastboot, but I'm leaning towards probably not since the USB debugging was previously on so you already have adb drivers installed.
On another note should something bizarre happen and you get stuck in a bootloop from this, you'll need a fastboot cable to get back into fastboot to fix.

Hello.
I rooted my kfhd 7 10.4.6 successfully and naturally proceeded to twrp where it got stuck on a bootloop. Now that I have made a factoryboot I was wondering what rout I should follow to flash the rom?
Browsing the topics I see these options:
* continue the process installing the twrp...
* download a toolkit that allows backup
* install ADB
* get fff
Now I'm wondering if someone has just made a restore utility, is there a utility to just restore to the state of having a rom installed?
Also, since I don't care for restoring backups, is there an easier way to flash?
I really appreciate your advice.

Firefirefire is not for this device 1st off, you don't have a kfhd 2nd off. Kfhd is v7.x.x. You have a kf2. Kf2's are 10.x.x.

if your logo turns blue at this point, turn the device off and when you turn it back on hold volume up while the logo is orange and keep holding it even after it turns blue, it should then say twrp and go into twrp, from there you could push a rom and flash it. If the logo does not turn blue then i would put it in fastboot and use kindle fire first aid to restore it, and try again.
which rout should I go? restore or twrp?

It's been a while since I bricked. Perhaps it was 10.4.6 I can no longer access the settings the verify. But now that I have a factoryboot cable. I would just flash cyanogenmod. Now when I connect factoryboot it reads (in a fancy 3d text) "Fastboot" with a small "kindle fire" on the right side of it.
I originally followed a youtube video that had links for freedom boots, twrp, etc... to this forum, but then again I must have downloaded incorrect versions.. I'm not concerned with the date. So I'm wondering if it's easier to restore or continue with twrp.
Here are some links I was looking at:

There are too many guides, here ... which is really great. But the process of download, verification, transfer (to a pc).
If I cant brick this device any harder than it is, I will follow each guide...
stunts513, the fire logo does not turn blue. In fact I was taking a video when it was loading ... (it's a funny video about
a guy who bricked his device)
I had the same issue... I forgot to remove a script before flashing twrp. Maybe it is the same for you. Did you followed carefully the tuto ?
In my situation, I managed to go into fastboot (with fasboot cable), flashed stock ROM, and did the flashing process from the beginning..
Hope it may help

If you only have fastboot access right now i suggest restoring with srt or kindle fire first aid. Afterwards you can start the twrp process over again, we can't simply flash cm from fastboot, if everything else isnt in place like the stack file or the bootimg and a old version of the bootloader then it wouldn't work. Fastboot should be in utilities like kffa and srt

There are so many options it seems, but I think I know what to do now (please let me know if it's not a incorrect course):
First, download and Kindle fire first aid from here, to restore back to and then follow the instruction here in order to start twrp and flashing.

Firefirefire is not for this device 1st off, you don't have a kfhd 2nd off. Kfhd is v7.x.x. You have a kf2. Kf2's are 10.x.x.

I think the versions are according to kf2 (10.4.6) this time.
Thanks you so much everyone.

I have download and installed many sdks and drivers and checked md5.. while at it. kffirstaid does not really seem to connect with the device. And some messing around with the drivers did occur, uninstalling/reinstalling through downloads and through kffirstaid. It now announces as tate-pv-08 though a triangle is showing next to Android ADB Interface in device manager.. I think something is missing.. Is java sdk necessary? because it doesn't install ..
yeah
If I didn't mess around with my Kindle I would be reading through Dante's levels of hell which is more pleasant than all this troubleshooting ..

You should be able to update the drivers of the Tate device using the drivers in my signature and have then programs work with fastboot. Not sure why an adb device and a Tate device show at same time, the Tate device should be the one needing fastboot drivers for it to work.

Hi. Someone yanked out the factory-boot cable and I quickly ordered the scorpion king cable. I downloaded kffirst aide again and there's been a massive update. Running a restore showed all signs of success. But then after restoring it to normal boot, I get kindle fire logo showing and then the boot loop continues.
If kffa fails then try SRT.
Kffirst aide is in order

I have upgraded kffirst aide and in the middle of restore I do the following statements:
cannot load 'boot-prod.img No error
cannot load recovery-prod.img No error
cannot load system.imp: No error
However at the end there is the success message:
Success!!! The kindle Fire 2 7 has been restored to software version 10.2.3
and yet the bootloop continues to plague the brick..
That means the files it tried to flash didn't exist on your computer. Try srt, it includes those images.
I have a kf2

I'm not sure if this is compatible with my device. Perhaps replacing those files/folders would solve the problem?
Oh wait yea kf2 didn't have a SRT.... My bad. Yea in that case you will need the kf2 I ages, kffa is supposed to download them for you but it's possible the links went down for the files.
I messed up trying to install TWRP. I kinda lost my factory reset. Is it possible to restore the factory boot restore. Attached is my new restore options. It will reset to "factory" but with kingroot and gapps.
How can I get a stock image back on here?
ADB from this recovery screen does not even register as plugged in.
I'm a little curious what exactly you did to "erase" your factory reset settings. Like did you delete something, flash something in the wrong place or not check a certain box etc. This is just something i've never seen before so i'm a bit curious. As for how to fix it, you could try to get in to fastboot with a factory cable since ADB doesn't recognize it currently. As ADB and Fastboot are seperate, i'm hoping fastboot would recognize it. If you can get in and get it to recognize it then at this point you can flash images through fastboot, but i'm not entirely sure what image you would need but here

is a thread from hashcode for the stock amazon OS 7.4.3, which if extracted may or may not have an image file in it, if not then i'm not entirely sure where you would find a stock image. Hope this helps!
Also, if you haven't already search up the Kindle Fire Utility and the Kindle Fire First Aide, those 2 may or may not be able be able to help you out.

Using Flashify I tried to install an img but I'm thinking it was the wrong version. I used Ariel and now I'm not sure that's the right one. I have the 2014 model and this may not have been unlocked or something so what I was doing was impossible...
The stuff here is for the 2012 "tate" version. If you have the 2014 version there isn't anything you can flash on it.
