Hey everyone
I was tweaking my KFHD build.prop and i messed up, I don't know how i ended up with all installed applications disappearing and go launcher ex configuration reset.
So i decided to reset the device to factory settings and start fresh, when i did that, the setup wizard started but it would crash every time i proceed with it and displays an error message "setup wizard has stopped".
So i decided it was about time i started learning how to restore/unbrick etc...
I made myself a factory cable, now the problem is adb recognizes my device in normal boot mode but when i connect it in fastboot mode the usb device is not recognized, any ideas?

Fastboot and adb are seperate. Try opening a cmd prompt where you have access to fastboot and try using this cmd:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
If you get a read out of the product id you're good, if it just says waiting for device drivers need to be installed.
I'm sure you've tried but unplug from the pc then plug in again to see if it gets recognized. If not just re-install the driver you used to get adb to recognize, it should then show up. I've had that happen on my new pc and it worked fine when I reinstalled the drivers. I would suggest using the drivers amazon offers through android sdk.
Thanks for the quick reply
i tried your command but it just said Waiting for device so i unplugged from the pc then plugged it in again and it didn't work
so i tried to re-install the driver and now i get and error message that says "This device cannot start. (code 10)"
EDIT: i got it working and when i typed in your command i got this reply
Tate-PVT-08
is this ok?
Thanks Onemeila i got it working and restored stock rom 7.2.3

Hi,
I was trying to be too nerdy, and I deleted all amazon/kindle related apps form /system/apps on my rooted KFHD7"
After which, the device is no longer being recognized by my PC. The device itself became too unstable and so I tried to "reset to factory defaults" ! and hence I lost all the apps that I had installed via google play (included) as well!
At the moment, the device boots up, but has no apps, except an unstable ADW launcher, contact apps and settings. It does not connect to the computer, so I am stuck now. Is there anything that can be done to get the device back to working condition? Does anyone know if fastboot will work, given that the PC doesnt recognize the KFHD7"?
Thanks
Only thing I can think of is fast boot cable, it worked when mine wouldn't even boot up.....red screen...

If anything use the first aide software and restore to stock everything. I had my doubts about fastboot cable but if u keep messing with kindle ur gonna find urself needing one so getting it sooner than that would be perfect.

Like the previous post said your only option is to get a factory cable and flash a backup through fastboot. If you are like me though you may want to know the reason this happened. Well the factory reset on the device only resets the cache and user data partitions of the device, because you are not suppose to have access to change anything else on the device. So anything you changed outside of userdata, ie: system/apps, will stay that way even after a "factory reset". Good luck. After you get yourself a factory cable use fastboot to reflash the system partition, if you do not have a personal backup use the tool from this link:

Thanks guys for your inputs. I went ahead and ordered the factory cable over ebay, followed the fastboot instructions and was able to get into fast boot mode. PC now recognized my KFHD7 as a ADB device under device manager, however adb was not recognizing the device. adb devices always returned a blank line. Not sure why. Tried everything I knew .. restarting device/PC, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers etc .. nothing worked, and adb would not recognize the device at all
Then, I connected the KFHD using a normal USB cable, and all of a sudden, adb recognized the device. I followed the restore procedure using SR Tool.bat over the normal USB cable, and my KFHD is back to life.
Thanks all for your help

Glad to hear you were able to get it working. Just so you know fastboot and adb are separate cmds. The device may have shown up connected as adb device but that was just because fastboot can use the same drivers on this device. The fastboot cmd for device info is:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
I have tried to flash a rom (Android Revolution HD 53.0) for my One. And after I finished flashing, it asked me if I would like to fix root. I pressed yes.
Then the phone go stuck between the boot screen and the recovery screen. It cannot enter the recovery mode (It got a flash of the clockworkmod, but it seems likes some error occurs). And now, I put my phone into Fastboot mode and plug it to my computer. The phone has turned "FASTBOOT USB" but when a use a fastboot command, it says "waiting for device" for a century...
And when my open up the "device manager" on my computer, it can recongnize "my HTC" but it's marked as an unrecongnized device.
I'm using Windows 8.1 on the Lenovo y510p, I think the Win 8.1 is the problem causing this...
I have tried to install the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver as mentioned here, but my USB then goes out of function.
Also, the fastboot won't work even though I manually install the HTC Driver from the device manager.
I have got HTC Sync, ADB and fastboot all installed on the computer. Still got no luck.
Anyway to solve this?

What is your bootloader version? What recovery are you using and what version?
in the meantime I suggest you to use Windows 7 or boot a live ubuntu 12.04 32 bits version cd or bootable flash drive and use fastboot from there.

Your Phone is broken send it to HTC or take it to a repair shop
*My KFHD7 will not load passed the initial, "kindle fire" logo.
*While running KFFirstAide64 runme.bat, it reads, "The system cannot find the path specified" after I try the recovery.
*In Device Manager under other devices it states, "Soho-PVT-Prod-07"; My computer is communicating with the Kindle.
*I am using a factory (fastboot) cable and my tablet is in fastboot mode as of right now.
*Last updated version known: 11.2.3.2
Is there any other program or recovery option that I can use to restore my KFHD7 to it's factory conditions? How can I get the system to "find the path specified"?
Solution!
I don't know how I missed it but here it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Additional Problems...
When I run the program to recover, it reads, "<waiting for device>".
*I am using "KFHD_SRTv1.3.5" SR Tool which was recommended to me.
*I've tried using different USB ports.
*Waiting for the device proves to be pointless.
*I have downloaded the ADB driver but installing it shows no improvements.
What can I do?
That is for the Kindle fire HD 2012 edition. If you flash it to your Kindle you will Brick it.
You need this program.

I have downloaded the program and tried to restore my device but I ran into the same problem, "waiting for device". I've installed the device drivers as well. I checked on one of the other programs my ADB status and it is not on. I don't believe I can turn it on without getting passed the initial bootlogo.
Do I need the ADB enabled in order for a full recovery? How can I get my device to be acknowledged by this program when my computer is reading that it's there?
EDIT:
I need to restore my kindle.
While in fastboot mode, the logo has 3D orange font that says "fastboot" with a black background. There is nothing else that shows up. Before I tried to root there was green font in I think the top left corner; looked like a cmd prompt was running something (if I recall correctly)..
if you are in fast boot and stuck waiting for device you are probably having a driver problem like I had. I used fastboot on Linux instead of Windows and solved my driver issue that way.

Sorry for the late reply. I'll try out Linux OS and see what happens. I'll let ya'll know the news :fingers-crossed:
EDIT::
So my computer crashed trying to fix my kindle; hard drive malfunction of some sort. My friend put the hard drive into his computer and it erased his BIOS. We then put in an 80GB hard drive that we got for $10, re-installed windows and tried again. Hard drive crashed crashed again. Maybe when I tried to install the drivers they were installed onto my computer instead of the Kindle?
This is an on going process but I probably won't be posting again any time soon. Maybe when I actually start programming things will be a little more self explanatory.
Thanks for all your help. This is all for this thread.
some assistance please.
I've been at it for about 40 minutes now, trying to sideload 5.1 onto the N6. Go me! Unfortunately I have come to a halt due to my computer not being able to recognize my device in recovery mode. I have the nexus root tool kit installed on my Win7 PC and i have done all the steps as far as driver installation and the toolkit says it is a success. I even open up command prompt when the device is turned on and type "adb devices" and it gives me the device info, I can even use my explorer to see the files I have in storage on the device too. Now if I type the same command while the device in in recovery mode, my computer tells me the device is not found. I have since downloaded the google drivers and tried updating the driver manually through Device Manager and that tells me that the drivers are up to date/best driver is already installed etc. So after goofing with that for a few tries, I uninstalled ALL nexus/google drivers and reinstalled them, twice now, with the same result.
Am I doing something wrong? Why does my computer not want me to update? why does it hate me?

When you get the device not found error, unplug USB and reconnect. May have to repeat once or twice.

Tried that like it was going out of style lol. No luck.
i finally got it figured out!!
i used the toolkit and install;ed Universal Google Drivers (option #3) and my pc was finally able to detect my device in recovery mode.
so if anyone comes across the same problem of not having the "right" drivers or not having your device detected,
1.) Install Universal Google Drivers and reboot your computer
2.) proceed to sideload your update.
Greetings,
Yesterday i tried to flash twrp + havoc os, like on my previous phone, but i got stuck right on the begining when ADB says the device wasn't found, I have the phone unlocked, usb debugging allowed, and i can access phones internal storage from windows just fine, entered fastboot and still nothing.
Weird thing is after i entered fastboot the Device Manager changed the name of phone to just "Android"
and driver failed to install, then i tried to search the driver with windows built in driver search, and driver was sucesfully installed, but the phone still can't be found by ADB. Really don't know which can be the cause. I have win 7 by the way. Hope somebody can help me with my problem, i appreciate any tips.
Thanks and have a great weekend

Sounds like the fastboot drivers are missing. I'm sure you can find the drivers if you google it or just download the mi flash tool and install the drivers from there. Test the type c as well maybe the cable has the problem (try to use the official one), test it from a different usb, or an other PC or laptop if you have any.
I had similar issues before using mi flash tool, I tried on my other laptop and was working fine.
Thank you for your advice, it was due to drivers, but now im struggling with some very weird problem, i managed to flash twrp, and installed havoc (later tried lineage) succesfully, but when i boot the phone, it boots into fastboot instead of android for some reason, i tried installing the rom several times, everytime succesfully, deleted dalvik cache and so on.. Its just booting to fastboot for some reason.
