[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!

[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.

Cheers Stunts.
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.
Trev

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.

[Q] Bricked? Kindle Fire HD 7''

BACKGROUND: So i rooted my kindle using this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUW6KARo8Y4 and it worked fine... up until i tried to put the new os. This was a very long time ago and you can follow my progress in my old forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536008&page=4 (which did not fix it.) I decided i need a new start so i made this new forum.
Okay so heres the problem: When i boot up my kindle, it shows the regular kindlefire logo (not fire fire fire) and then a red screen slides by and it boots into fastboot.

Its a really simple fix. Just making sure, this is codename tate? Turn off the kindle. Download the restore image tool for the kindle on the development page where you get ROMs. After that's downloaded plug in the fast boot cable to the PC and your kindle. Turn the device on, run the bat file from the image tool, and then you want to do 4, then the one that restores to the original bootloader, don't know what number. Then hit 1. After that you have a brand new kindle. And reboot with a regular cable.

Um, you sure he hard bricked it? He said it's going to a red screen then fastboot, if that was the case and the pc can detect it he should be able to reflash the bootloader. Then again i didnt really read the thread he posted, just kinda glanced through it.

ok after reading that i'm a bit confused becasue it seems suggestions were being thrown all over the place. I see it says he thought he flashed firefirefire, but as far as i know, flashing that would have resulted in the device not even wanting to power on since its not designed for our device and wouldnt turn on.
I'm willing to play ball and see where this goes just to see whats going on. If you can get fastboot to recognize the device try running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and tell me what it hands off, i want to know once and for all that this is a 7" hd model and that will tell me.

i was able to remove the bootloader

Uh oh... I tried to use KFFirrstAid again and completely restore to 7.2.3 and i believe i have officially hard bricked my kindle. It does not turn on and the computer cannot detect it. Thanks for your help anyway

how did kffa manage to hard brick it???? Well if it is indeed hard bricked i would see about putting it to a good cause and see if @kurohyou wants it. He mapped out emmc pins for the 8.9" and kf2 so we can reflash teh bootloader via soldering a sdcard reader to the kindles motherboard, but he still needs a hard bricked kfhd 7 to map th epins out for this model. Downside is it will probably make the kindle's motherboard completely unusable because he has to unsolder the emmc chip to figure out the pin locations. He might be able to solder the emmc back on thought so you might actually get a working motherboard back if you get lucky. This would benefit the community as awkward as it is to ask.
