The kfhd seems to have a sensitive charge port. I'd send it back to Amazon if you can't get it fixed.

Quick question. Before I purchase a charger for the kindle fire had I was wondering if it was ok to use one from a different device such as a cell phone. I have 5-6 different wall chargers that would work and I would hate to waste money if those would be ok and not harm my new device. Thanks

Any charger will work fine, provided it has a micro usb connector of course.

Some chargers are more powerful than others, just keep that in mind.
Hey Guys, i just got my brand new Kindle Fire HD 7'' just a few hours ago. Didn't do anything much on it, didn't even install drivers on my pc for it. i just connect it through WiFi and that's about it. i got a problem when putting in my email, so i guess i just put it in wrong so i was goin to try back later. When i came back to the Kindle, it was just at the boot screen ("kindle fire") and its been there since. I tried draining the battery, i also tried the hold down for 20 seconds but still no prevail. Guys i need your help i just got it. I live in Trinidad and returning the thing from amazon is a pain. it cost a lot of money to send it back. so help me out here guys thanks. :crying:
I am gonna guess a failed amazon ota update?
It sounds like you are gonna have to use the recovery software and a factory cable (usb with pins 1 and 4 shorted together)
And flash it back to stock, since a return to amazon is out...

I bought one at ebay, apparently from same seller (earlybird). Took some days to arrive, but worked well for me unbricking my KFHD. Thus my recommendation...
is it as usable as skorpon cable there in but now selling for 25 dollars (skorpon) thanks

I ordered it too , apparently it takes about a month to arrive.
Has anyone else got this from amazon ? does it work?
Nothing beats his price if it really works.
looks like Xyth here on XDA has it and it works:

It isn't rooted. It's in a case. After a day of work, Tried putting it on, Logo comes up, Then comes off. It's the 7". Tried the Hard Reset and it doesnt seem to help. I put it to charge until I find another solution. What should I do? The logo only come sup when I plug it in to charge.
Sounds like you have a dead battery. Let it charge for a few hours before turning it on.

Woke up this morning after having it charging on the Kindle wall charger and nothing. So I switched the usb cord thinking that might be the issue cause it's always wrapped up to another. The logo came up, Cut off, Came up again, and now it's off. Not sure if it's doing a really long reset cause there are tons of stuff on it, Or if it still charging. We'll see.
There have been numerous reports of bad charging ports on the kfhd's. I would call Amazon and complain. They have been very generous in the past with replacing faulty devices.

UPDATE...
I literally gave it a love tap behind it and it turned on. Will back it up and get a replacement from Amazon. Thanks for the assistance.
I bricked my Kindle Fire HD recently and was hoping that there was a way to enter fastboot on it without purchasing a fastboot cable. I don't have the money to buy one either. I have the img files and everything else needed. Thank you for your reply.
You will have to make one if you can't afford one, or try jumping two points on the motherboard with a wire. Fastboot cables are pretty cheap though, only around 5-15$.

Lawlz I would rather not do that. Do you know how I can make a Fastboot Cable? I have about a million cables for the device. So could you lead me to a guide that I can use to make one with. If I take the device apart the chances of me breaking it is even higher.
If you don't have a soldering iron this could be very difficult to do by jumping a wire.... I believe Samsung cables are recommended because not all cables have a spot on the PCB for pin 4, and Samsung's typically do.

Buy a fastboot cord for 10 bucks. Meanwhile install ADB drivers and Kindle Fire FirstAide.
When the cord gets to you, run KFFA and restore to 7.2.3 and root and remove OTA updates all from KFFA.
You'll restore to 7.2.3 so you will have a nice matching boot.img to use from Hashcode's thread when you go to flash a 2nd bootloader and custom rom.
*face palm* I had the link to the tutorial on how to make a fastboot cable copied and I forgot to paste it in my post. Hehe my bad...

Maybe the face palm will fix your eyes so you can read the many other posts posted on here dealing with this issue. Like the part that recommends having a fastboot cord before messing with your tablet. Or how to UTMFSE to find the pin out diagram to make your own fastboot cord.
I wouldn't waste ten dollars on a fast boot cable till I needed one if your careful and all goes right there is no need for one and even at that I'd rather make one than pay for it given I have a Samsung cable.
I grant you I used one but just because I felt like making one. Didn't even use it for a few months

Well after i opened cable up, I realized I don't have any Solder. LOL. I have a Soldering Iron, but no Solder. So now I just wasted my time practically until I can get solder.
