I installed an app I believe was called Device Spoofer so I could try and use the Google Play Store without getting those incompatible device errors. I selected a device to spoof and rebooted the device and now it is stuck at the boot splash screen. I am guessing I bricked the device but was wondering if there is a method I can use to unbrick it.

Yes and no what does your computer say when the kindle is plugged in via usb

I went and bought a factory cable so I could get it in fastboot mode, so when I plug it in it shows an orange diagonal wording of Fastboot with Kindle Fire under it in smaller letters. But I am unable to detect the device in ADB or Fastboot.
ok nevermind. after extensive research and the use of that awesome kindle fire aide kit i have fixed it.
Re: [Q] is my Kindle Fire HD Bricked?
I'm having a similar issue. I went to restore mine and now all I get is the lock screen and an android start up screen after that. When It's plugged in it shows up as kindle. Not sure what happened..?

Hi,
I am new to this and need advice. I tried rooting my KFHD 7" using KFU 0.9.6 and all seemed to be going well until it said it was trying to boot into Recovery mode. The Kindle did not reboot after about 20 minutes and has not turned on since. I have tried various ways to unbrick such as Kindle Fire Unbricker v1.1 but this will not work as the PC does not detect the Kindle. I also have a Factory cable which i understood would put the Kindle into Fastboot and aid me in unbricking but still nothing. Any help would be appreciated, thank-you
Kfu is for the non he models you will most likely need a factory cable to fix

Shawnsch thanks for your response, I have the 'Factory Cable' but my PC on Windows 7 won't detect the Kindle, any idea on how to get it to detect would be appreciated then I can look at further fixes for the device.
I believe he mean the fast boot cable, this one is different than the factory cable. You use the tutorial on how to restore system software, and than your fixed.

Yes a fastboot cable also referred to as a factory cable in the fourms

Hi, i used a Fastboot/Factory cable to root the Kindle Fire HD but it didn't reboot after rooting and now the PC will not find my Kindle whether i use the Fastboot/Factory cable or a standard cable and either the SDK or ADB........ I am getting the feeling that this will not be fixable
I don't believe that you actually used a factory cable. A factory cable is not a normal using cord' it's not the one the kindle came with. A factory cable is a modified cable that boots the kindle into fastball as soon as it is plugged in. I will try to get you a link to the guy I got mine from

I ordered a Kindle Fire HD 7" from Amazon few days ago. I rooted it by using Qemu tool then I did something wrong in /system/app. After rebooting, I cannot turn on my Kindle and its stuck on the kindle fire screen (Kindle Fire logo appears for a minute then it disappears).
I used a factory cable and put the kindle to fastboot successfully, but the problem is PC doesn't recognize it (windows said "unknown device"). I tried many methods in xda forum but they didn't work anyway. I reinstalled many time and tried in win 32, win 64 bit and even in linux but it still doesn't work.
Are there any solution for me? please help!
I was wondering if Amazon could replace it under warranty ? is it possible?
I thought I read you only use fast boot cable to get into fast boot, then normal cable to do the rest. See if that helps if not u can always try forcing the driver but idk if that's the best idea since it is saying unknown device instead of driver not found for kindle adb device or something like that.

I used fastboot cable to get into fastboot mode and then change to normal cable at you said, but the same situation -- Unknown device and device not found. Please see attached figure.
I also tried to forcing the driver many times and it still doesn't work at I said before.
I am going to say this now, windows 8 doesn't always work to well with us doing things to droid devices, or at least kindles, mainly because of drivers. Don't know if that's the case here because that device I don't think i have the right info, post the info on the details tab when u choose hardware id's from the drop down menu.
Also adb commands don't work in fast boot mode, a command u would want to try is fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
It should return something about Tate.

Thank you for you helps. I tried fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product on Win 7 PC and it didn't work also. It ended with <waiting for device>. Do you have any other idea to solve the problem?. Please help me . I feel stuck right now.
Ps: I read somewhere that it may work if the battery battery drain out, so i am waiting to try this method.

One more thing, the error code show up in device manager is code 43
I've just borrowed an unrooted KF HD 7 from my friend and tried to connect to PC with normal and factory cable. It worked perfectly with no problem in both cables. So I think there is nothing wrong with the driver on PC.
Is my KF hard bricked and no way to restore it anymore
I don't know if its hard bricked, I still need the screen shot or just the text will do of what's in the device manager on that unknown device's details tab under the hardware id's choice on the drop down menu. If I recognize the vid in the details then I may be able to help.

I installed Xposed Installer and rebooted and now:
Now my pc
Is not recognizing with adb
In device manager it shows that it is a portable device.
Take a look at the photo.
I do not have a factor cable either
I have chameleon rom
I can get to the lockscreen but no further than that
If you have a ROM installed then it should be a easy fix, reboot into recovery and remove the exposed framework from an adb shell, if an adb device is not present in the device manager while in recovery but a portable device is, uninstall it and let it search for new devices and it should pick it up.

I think you missed the part when I said ADB doesn't recognize the device is plugged in. So how would I get it into Recovery? I do do not have a factory cable.
Take a look at this
https://db.tt/Hg46tGg0
Recovery = turn device off, turn on, hold down volume up as soon as you see orange kf logo, keep holding it even once it turns blue, should eventually say twrp, let go of button. Hope that helps.

I attempted to use TWRP to reset the device and once it rebooted, the orange KINDLE FIRE HD screen will appear for a second, then the screen goes black, the the image appears again and then then screen goes black without end. Hard reset doesn't work. I tried pushing adb commands through but i get "waiting on device" and nothing else. Device manager doesn't recognize device either, it doesn't even appear on the device manager when I plug it in. Any ideas? I know I'm out. Based on other threads, I don't think that the factory cable will work either, although I don't currently have one even if it would. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
First, sorry for my English, I'm Spanish. The problem I have is that my kindle is bricked I used factory cable and put into fastboot mode then connect to pc but does not recognize the device. Get a message saying'''' Unknown Device. I have installed drivers 10 times and nothing .. Any solutions?
Thank You!!
Try updating the drivers with the ones in my signature and see what happens.

You can explain me how to install your drivers please?
OK if I understand this correctly, I'm assuming if you open the device manager , there is a device called something like "tate-pvt" probably with an triangle next to it. Right click it and hit update driver, tell it to search the folder you extracted my driver to, it should install them from there. On another note, after you use the fastboot cable to put your device into fastboot, make sure you switch back to using a normal cable once the kindle says "fastboot" on the screen.

I've done everything you've told me and nothing. When I install the driver from the device manager tells me the driver is updated and if I put normal cable after entering fastboot mode.
So what exactly is it doing now, or what is saying unknown device, you should be able to see if its working by running the fastboot command like this ”fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", it should report something back, if it does your ready to fix your kindle, otherwise if it hangs on waiting for device, something weird might be going on that needs more looking into.

I tried this to downgrade it to 7.2.1 but once completed the tablet said it cant boot and has to do a restore, then it goes back to 7.30. There is a 7.2.3 option too but I never tried it.
I don't know what to do all I want is to get rid of this stupid crap rom but if I can't I'll just have to use a launcher... any ideas?
The first method works... You just have to put the ROM and corresponding gapps onto your sdcard before hand or it will be stuck boot looping into twrp. If it doesn't automatically go into twrp but you still have the blue logo, just hold power up when you power the kindle on while the logo is orange and usually by the time it turns blue you can let go and it will go into twrp.

The first method doesn't work man. The blue logo never comes up just boot loops the kindle fire logo. I download FireFlash and move the freedom img and twrp onto my kindle sd and plug it right into fireflash and reboot, then it just boot loops.

Yeah the old driver was Kindle. So I uninstalled it and now it comes up as MTP USB DEVICE after I select Media Device from USB computer connections on the tablet. Still not recognized in my computer... sigh. I want it to appear as a Mass storage device so I can transfer files. On Linux I get Unable to open MTP device '[usb:001,001]' when trying to open it.d
Now when I boot into TWRP, device manager shows Kindle Fire -> Android Composite ADB Interface but still doesnt appear in My Computer.
Android composite isn't meant for browsing, its meant for using adb commands. If you uninstalled the MTP device on windows and let it search for a new driver when u refresh devices, it should be viewable, also what distro and version of Linux are you on, because some handle mtp better than others.
