Hi, I have KINDLE HD 7"
something happened to my device (I will mention later).
Consider my problem as a complete Noob with a Kindlefire HD 7" which freezes at kindle logo (it get turns off - on a 20 secs of pressing power - but again, it stops at kindle logo with no animation or movement)
here's the history:
I used c-2 method (here) successfully and got the root checker confirmation message.
Then I used kindlefirstaide and since my initial demand for rooting was VPN , I tried install VPN menu entry. there was nothing there indicating it need such a huge download on third item, I let it to be done, but at 98% my internet connection failed to respond! the first aide said it has restored the kindle successfully,
But my Kindle stops at KidleFire logo at start-up.
- what can I do to check what happened to my device?
- is my bootloader damaged? if so what can I do to fix it? which thread?
(I know usually moderators hate panic people begging for help, but I'm a complete noob and need help anyway)
There are parts of kindle fire first aide that can take 60-90 minutes. I suggest you post your problem on that thread. You will need to be patient and wait for a response as that thread gets quite busy. Good luck.

Hello Everyone, first post after several hours of research and first attempt to root and flash a device.
A little about the device, it is a Kindle Fire (non-HD)
I did a factory reset on the device before doing anything.
I followed the instruction i found on this forum to install Kindle Fire Utility 9.6
Following this, I downloaded and installed, JB-AOKP_otter_unofficial_Oct-17-12.
I followed this install with: gapps-jb-2012-0726-signed
Everything was going great. All of the sudden I got a pop-up stating Process com.android.phone has stopped. As fast as I press "OK" it returned.
The only resolution I have been able to get is to force the tablet back into TWRP and restore it, as once it appears there is no way around it.
has anyone encountered this issue and found a solution?
Thanks in advance, I am new to rooting (first shot ever) and eager to learn what I can about it.

Good morning,
As a follow up, I tried to re-install the Android system. Somehow I managed to delete too much by way of wiping the system and basically locked the KF up until I was able to mount it as a USB drive. I placed the OS file back in the directory (the original KF software was gone). I reloaded the OS and seemingly it works correctly.
Up to this point I have not had the error return, so the only real change was the complete removal of the KF software. The unfortunate part, is if I were to ever want to sell the KF I have no way to return it to stock, Atleast not that I have figured out yet.
Now on to searching for a volume control, that is easy to use....

I've spent the weekend attempting to master the art of rooting my Kindle Fire HD 7". I managed to root the device via KF First Aide. I was also able to install TWRP and custom ROMS. I has some issues and went back to the stock Kindle software. I once again rooted and attempted to install TWRP via KF First Aide. The Kindle went into boot loop. I was able to get the device into Fastboot with a factory cable. Before I could take any further steps to fix the problem the screen went black and will not turn back on. I've tried charging via wall charger, USB and Factory cable and still nothing. Is there a solution out there? I've tried searching for an answer on the forums and I've found similar posts, but no solutions.
I've found information for using the USB boot trick, but they all reference Kindle 1's or 2's. Noting mentioned the Fire HD. Will the same process still work for the HD 7"?
I've also DL'd the KF Unbrick app but I cannot find mention if it works with the KF HD 7".

There are stickies in the Q&A forums for all Kindle Fires, including one in the Original Kindle Fire's General Discussion forum, that explain your situation and remaining options (or lack thereof).
So to clarify what I have just read in the FAQ
Q14: How will I know if I have a bricked 2nd generation Kindle Fire that cannot be restored?
The device will not show any outward signs of life; no display, no sound, and no LED. The device may still get warm when plugged in or turned on and Windows users may see an OMAP4 device in the device manager. Again, short of sending it back to Amazon, there isn't anything that can be done.
My options are none at all unless I send it to Amazon?
Hey Guys,
I spent today trying to root my Kindle Fire HD 7, 4th gen (i think). After trying for ages it coudnt get it work so i decided to give up. when shutting it down in the recovery mode screen, i hit the power button while it was over the option reboot bootloader or something like that.
Now the Kindle will not turn and when i plug it into my pc, it is showing as an HTC Dream.
What i want to know have i broken it completely or is there away i can undo what i have done.
I updated my fire to os 5 and my windows operating system is 10.
cheers.

How did you fix it?
I install team-win-recovery and u-boot then my kindle don't turn on any more. Please help me TT
Information:
my kindle : fire hd 7 (tate)
First. it's normal, but i want to flash a new custom rom form http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hd/8-9-development/rom-beanstalk-t3436434 . So, i wiped and format my device. Then i flash a new u-boot and twrp until it like now. TT
Symptom:
When i open my device it didn't have anything on the screen, but my device is a little hot. I think i work but i can't do anything, plug to computer it can't find too. It can charge i think. And when it's crash it had 55%.
Sorry for my language, i'm thai and i'm poor in english TT
Hello. COuld you please specify more information? When you turn on the KFHD, do you get anything(even a spec of light from the screen)? Is it charged(which i'm guessing it is)? If you could edit or re-post your question with more info. It would be easier for people to help. Thanks!
Sorry for my post, so i will add it for you. Thank you for your suggestion. ^^
I have a 5th gen Fire and I tried downgrading to 5.12 from 5.32.x...it didn't work... I now have a tablet which doesn't show any signs of power... I've tried different software I.e. KFU and the Kindle Unbrick tool but no luck....anyway when I connect it to the PC I hear the sound of when I plug in a USB but then about 3 seconds after then it disconnects and then reconnects and so on but never shows anything on the screen it is completely black. My problem is that it won't stay on long enough to do any significant reflash or any kind of fix. If anyone can help me in keeping it on long enough then I could flash with its stock update. I may even have to solder some points on the board but that's fine so long as I can fix it....
Thanks in advanced any help is appreciated

I have ended up in the exact same spot after attempting a downgrade to 5.1.1.
I downgraded to try and fix an odd problem. I recently wiped my CM version back to stock, but when registering the device it forced me into Kid's Edition - I did the downgrade in an attempt to bypass that. Now it's just a paperweight/doorstop.

Sorry for your loss; device is unrecoverable. Contact Amazon for a courtesy replacement is still under warranty.
