tiltsux,
I am not sure this was solved, if it was great, if not, please look here to recover your Kindle using:

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.

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.

Hello, long time reader...first time poster.
I am making this thread in hopes that someone out there will be able to help me find a solution that I have been so far unable to find. I have spent many hours searching to attempt to find a resolution to my problem, but have been unsuccessful thus far.
My problem is this: My KFTT is/was rooted but still using stock ROM. I had all of PERSANO's tweaks active..and various apps installed. Lately(the past couple weeks) I have been experiencing issues with freezing (hard freeze, unable to do anything except hold power button down until it powers off), while attempting to fix the freezing issue, I managed to corrupt my systemUI.apk (exactly how this happened is at this point unclear). The result of this is that the kindle will boot to the lock screen as usual, but after unlocking goes to black screen.
I have seen many threads on XDA and elsewhere devoted to the systemUI.apk issue..but I believe that my situation is unique and have been unable to find a solution in any of the other threads. As a last resort after being unable to make any headway, I decided to system restore after being told by someone that this would solve my issue.
The result of the system restore is that although the systemUI.apk issue is still present and unchanged, now it seems that my ADB debugging is disabled, along with anything else that might be of any help in controlling the kindle without being able to see anything/use any functions of the kindle..
My question is this: Short of buying a fastboot cable, is there ANYTHING that I can do to fix my kindle? Would REALLY appreciate any responses. Thanks in advance.

No, not at this point. You have no ADB which leaves only a factory restore via fastboot. Make sure you know which Kindle version you have as the images you flash must be for the model Kindle. Flashing the wrong images will most likely hard brick your tablet.

thank you for the reply. I figured that was the route I was going to have to go but I hoped there might be something I was missing. By version what do you mean? I have the kindle fire hd 7" tate blaze etc etc etc

Not sure about Blaze. Tate is the code name. So only use Tate images.

Hey guys, been using the forums for quite some time now, but this is my first time posting so i just registered an account.
I have looked over the forum but can't seem to find an answer to my issue.
I basically rooted my kindle fire HD but when I came to install a new ROM i ran into some issues.. I followed ALL the instructions on what to do but i think i did something wrong.
When it came to installing the new ROM i was told to wipe everything.. So from TWRP I went to wipe > and then i wiped everything.. But i MEAN everything, so there is nothing at all left on the device AT ALL.. Only TWRP and thats it, no data files or anything. SO everytime i start up it boots into TWRP.
I tried flashing the new ROM using TWRP but everytime i do it doesn't do anything, it says error finding /misc but I read that thats a normal error message.
I've tried flashing a few different ROM's and nothing has worked... I think i may have messed up when it came to putting FireFireFire onto the device using Kindle Fire Utility, am i having this problem because I have tried to install a custom ROM without having FireFireFire...? Or is my device bricked?
Sorry if this is a noob question but I'm not really used to flashing ROM's I've rooted many devices but ive never flashed a ROM before, any help would be greatfully appreciated!
What version of the Kindle Fire HD do you have?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Im not actually 100%sure to be honest.. i know its old i think its 1st gen
I need a reply please, I might have possibly flashed the wrong ROM for my device but I highly doubt it, to double check how can i check what model and verrsion m device is just by using TWRP?
Does your kindle fire HD have a camera,HDMI port,power button and volume rocker on one edge of the device? Lynker
