[Q] Kindle Fire 2 wont power on - flashed firefirefire

I have been playing around with my new Kindle Fire 2 and followed some instructions to flash Fire Fire Fire, however now it won't even power on.
I'm guessing it's a bad bootloader flash, I've heard Firekit can be used but that it is first generation only, is this true? If so is there any way of unbricking the Kindle Fire 2
Also will USBboot work - or is that also 1st gen only?

Cool, you managed to put a bootloader on a device before a dev did!
Yes, you bricked it. What do you mean by it won't power on? If you see a red triangle, 5 power buttons presses to do a factory reset. If it's just....nothing, here you go!

Should work. Not positive as I haven't bricked, but that's your best bet so far. Good luck!

Haha, I managed to do exactly the same. My KF2 isn't powering on either.
Basically, the screen stays black, the power led doesn't light up at all, no matter how often or how long I press the power button.
I've ordered a factory cable and I'm going to follow the guide iytrix posted as soon as it arrives through the mail.

Good luck to you two! Unfortunately Recovering a Bricked device takes more time and know-how than simply Rooting devices, so sometimes the users are really SOL when it comes to bricking. I hope we can get more methods like the Samsung thing and PSP pandora battery that makes devices un-brickable. One day hopefully. For now, best of luck!
If it works I would post in the thread I linked and let them know how it went or if you have advice for future people that end up bricking their Kindles!

A factory cable is not going to do anything at this point. You have written over the uboot which is needed to even get to fastboot. The only thing you can do at this point(which is a method used for original kindle fire but I would imagine the new ones have similiar components, and try this at your own risk cause I'm not 100% it will work) is remove the back, short the usbboot pad to get the device to power on through usb only, then load the original uboot with linux using usbboot commands. That should get you into fastboot where you can then flash original bootloader and recovery.img's depending on how far the process got.
This is not an easy fix especially if you thought using KFU was a smart thing to do. There is a lot more to it than the simple explanation above.
Just out of curiosity what would possess you, because I've seen more people than I would have thought do it, to even try using a utility that was meant for the original kindle fire. There has been so much talk about these new devices having locked bootloaders. The main use for KFU was/is to load a new bootloader.

gen 2 kindle fire won't turn on.
My 2nd generation Kindle Fire will not turn on. Bought for my daughter for Christmas. She turned it off one night and the next day it won't turn on. No attempts have been made to alter it. Went I connect it to my computer it is not recognized and my computer says the device drivers are not present.
Can anyone help? When I connect my Kindle Fire it is recognized. Thanks.

That is typical of trying to modify the device incorrectly. Considering the nature of the device, I would say it's impossible for that to just happen on it's own.
What age is your daughter? How sure are you that no attempts have been made to modify the device?

got similar issues now too. after stucked in a bootloop, i read, that the u-boot.bin from the original Kindle Update should fix the bootloader. afterwards the reboot didn't worked and the device shut down. now i cant start it anymore. and the fastboot cable wont wake it up neither.
is it now definitly broken for ever?

HELP!
Hi dear friend, can you lend me a hand on this?? is there any guide I should follow to achieve what you just described before?? please... can you tell me?

[Q]Kindle Fire 2 FUBAR

Right, I've received a Kindle Fire 2 for Christmas as a gift from the US (I live in The Netherlands), and by accident I managed to wreck it.
It worked perfectly for a while, but I hate the Amazon fork of Android, so I looked into getting Jelly Bean on it. I successfully rooted my device on 10.2.4, installed the Play Store, and then I decided I wanted more. I found a guide to flashing FFF + TWRP for Kindle Fire, unknowingly I didn't realize that that guide was for the original Kindle Fire, and _not_ for the Kindle Fire 2. This resulted in me messing up the partition layout of my KF2.
It doesn't turn on anymore, no matter how long I keep the power button pressed, the screen won't turn on and the power button doesn't light up either. Hooking it up to my computer running Windows 7 doesn't help either, adb can't find it, neither can fastboot. I bought a factory cable from SkOrPn to try to fix it, hooked it up to my computer again, still no response. Might be a driver issue on Windows though. I tried an Ubuntu live-cd with FireKit, and tried to boot my Kindle into fastboot, with the cable, no result.
I tried contacting Amazon myself, but they don't have a call centre over here, so I can't call for a replacement. I had a conversation with an Amazon employee in the US who told me I have to give the address of the person who gifted it to me, so they can ship a free replacement there. That would mean that person would have to ship it themselves my way, and that's not something I'd like to happen.
Basically, I'd like to solve it myself, but I'm unsure how to do that. Help?

Can a mod please move this thread to the KF2 Q&A section?

The Same Things Happened To My Kindle Fire HD 7" :"(
Any one can help us :\

the same happend me
I"ve the same problem when i install it finditmore.info/2012/09/19/install-team-win-recovery-project-kindle-fire/ and my kindle are dead now :'(

Help please with soft unbrick, details in post

I had whatever, that updated to 7.3 as soon as I turned it on. Rooted fine with KF First Aide. Installed ES File Explorer, Google Play, etc. All was well. Then I read a post here how hard it was to copy/paste with ES File Explorer. I was joking about it with my husband and showing him how easy it was and copied random file... literally just randomly long pressed a file to show him the options, picked copy, and then went to another directory and *meant* to point to but touched paste instead... it was one of the Google Play files.
Kindle fire hd 7" immediately started freaking out. A mac address type error flashing so quick I couldn't do anything else. It was the same low letters and numbers you'd get with a mac address but said error and just an OK button which did nothing when you manage to tap in while flashing. Restarted, thinking if I was lucky Google Play just would't work... got the red triangle and neither option helped. So I ordered one of SkOrPn's cables which works flawlessly and boots right into fastboot. Yay for SkOrPn! Not so ya for me... (not their fault!).
It shows up as "Tate-PVT-08". I've tried every variation of driver I can find. Uninstalling all old things I can find, complete with the command line command to show ghost hubs/devices and what not and removing them and shut down/start up fresh too... no joy. Also removing and restarting between each driver try... neither of the Amazon drivers work for fastboot for me. I've tried so many things at this point my brain is fried.
So I'm hoping someone can help direct me how to fix this. . I won it in an online giveaway, so I'm not out anything, but it'd sure be nice to use it! As messed up as the Kindle crap is I'd be pissed if I bought it... but I'm majorly spoiled on Sony (Ericsson) and their "ya, play with it, screw it up, we don't care, here's how to fix it online just plug it in"... even before they had the online thing they'd let you send it back (and paid shipping both ways for it!) would reflash firmware and send it back with paper ticket that said "No problems found" lol... even on a device you actually bricked (wouldn't turn on... not the cute "brick"="I screwed it up but it's fixable" that people use now).
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Especially if you could steer me to drivers that work for 2nd generation HD 7 inch in fastboot on Windows 8. Thanks for reading if nothing else!

Try The SoupKit found here.
This is a Kinology HD using XDA Premium

Swap cables. Boot with the factory cable then switch to a normal one.

Thanks for the reply, but I've been doing that. Great advice for anyone who doesn't know though!

You couldn't have damaged anything by just copying a file unless either:
You cut the file
OR
You overwrote a system file
OR
You filled up your system partition.
If you still need help, I might be able to do some researching.

That was my first thing to try. Unfortunately one of them says stopped by user (preferred one) and the alternate won't install, gets to the end of installing and says didn't install, do manually... which has the same results. I'm getting the same results on another pc. Fun times lol.
Edit... I give up, it's Linux time. Will report back later.

My husband did the Soup kit (correct version, followed directions, etc.) with it for me while I was at work today on an pc he put Linux on (so nothing phone/tablet/adb/driver has ever touched it for anything). He's more savvy with Linux, I haven't used it much since the 90s while he regularly has it as a dual boot on his main pc. He used Ubuntu, followed the Soupkit directions and still no Linux love either.
I'm pretty much down to just sending it back, worst case they send it back and tell me I'm screwed. Both of us are so spoiled on Sony (me) and Google/Nexus (him)... that this some things only works sometimes and just keep bashing your head into the wall and something you already tried three times will work thing is out of our frame of reference (which is what it took to get it rooted lol). I've already spent more time trying to fix the stupid thing for something that shouldn't have even caused an issue than I've spent on both my Sonys combined... even though I've borked both more than once... crazy.
My only advice ... buy a real tablet lol. Luckily I won this so I'm not out anything if Amazon won't swap it... but I really like the 7" size for book reading.

I'll fix it for you...

If you're gonna send it anywhere, if you pay for shipping I could try to fix it. No guarantees, of course.

Ya did all that fun stuff, repeatedly with various drivers with all the 20 steps in between to remove others, lol.
Husband spent quite some time with Linux and SoupKit to no avail also. He could get his phone to work (making sure he had all the rules and steps correct), but it never would do anything with the tablet.
I gave up and called Amazon late Monday. They had me turn it on and verify the red triangle screen then sent me a new one that arrived today. Take the new one out of the box and put the old one in they said. They paid shipping both ways. If they complain I'll tell them send me the old and I'll send the new one back lol (at my expense). If they want to make the thing such a mess to deal with what do they expect? They know there's a whole group of people that won't live with the crappy launcher mess they have .

[Q] Connects/Disconnects as OMAP4440 ? Please Help!!

I currently have a bricked kindle 7 hd and wanted to see if anyone could help me out with their expertise. A week ago I accidentally bricked my kindle and purchased the factory cable on ebay to try to fix.
At this point when I connect the cable, screen stays black.
If i press kindle power button, Kindle logo will briefly appear, followed by fastboot logo for split second and then goes black again.
There are so many posts on the website on how to fix a bricked kindle, but I'm unsure which one is the right solution in this case.
Also, my driver on the Device Manager connects and disconnects continuously. And for some reason, I'm showing OMAP4440 when I connect my kindle, which I assume is not correct.
What is my next step, or what do I download?
Please, if someone can help, I'd be very grateful. I've been without my kindle for over a week. Thank you.

That kindle is hard bricked, there's a slight chance of fixing if it is flashing fastboot mode for a few seconds, but I give it a 10% chance of fixing. We can't fix omap4440 bricks because while we have the means to interface with that device, we need a signed xloader for the kindle to let us flash the other partitions. We can't get the signed xloader (believe its called xloader, might be called something else) unless someone at amazon or TI were nice enough to leak it and probably get fired in the process.
On another note is that android adb composite device staying there the entire time the kindle is plugged in? If it does then you may be able to fix the kindle, I haven't heard of omap4440 and the adb composite being there at the same before. I would guess that adb is the fastboot interface but usually it says Tate when drivers aren't installed and in this case it doesn't but still has an exclamation. I'm curious....

Well, @stunts513, it also shows that a kindle fire is plugged in with adb enabled. So he might not be 100% out of hope.
It sounds like the bootloader does indeed work, but there is a small problem. I am not sure what that problem is, but if the fastboot logo even shows at all, there is a small chance you could get it up and running again. Download the kfhd7 bootloader provided by @Hashcode and see if you can "fastboot flash" it before the screen goes black. Type in the command and the second you see the orange kindle fire logo, hit enter. Keep in mind that it might work. I am not responsible if it ruins your device further. It shouldn't, though.

Or you could try using "fastboot boot" to boot the bootloader. This takes barely less time so if the fastboot flash fails, try this.

I have the same problem Word for Word just a few extra details: I did have TW RP installed and I had just recently installed Kinology which was working but I went Back into TW RP again to try to Flash CM and didnt have all the files I needed But went ahead and removed my OS somehow leaving me stuck in TWRP Trying to figure out away to get the files over to it. At some point it ended up in Fastboot mode and I fell asleep so it was running with just the Fastboot logo for several hours and I woke up and saw that it was turned back off at which point I attempted to reboot back into recovery (TWRP) but discovered it would only show Kindle Fire for <1 second then Fastboot <1.5 seconds and back to a black screen. If it's connected to the computer it will make a sound as if the device was recognized but then a strange sound I have not heard I guess meaning the device was not installed correctly; Then this is repeated not stop until a reset on the device is done just the correct amount of time where it doesn't turn back on but the sound stops on the computer and the KFHD screen stays off. I'm new to Android and rooting, etc. but in the last 45+days since I got this KFHD7 used, I have used XDA countless times for a variety of reasons and I intend to be a contributing member from this day forward, even if only in a very limited capacity. I have grown to respect the incredible work of Hashcode among others on XDA and being a noob to Android customization as well as these forums, I have been reflecting on my years being tied down by iOS devices; can't help but feel like I wasted so much time and money, trying to so the things that Android was already capable of doing. I think I may need to f-around and jailbreak my iPhone 4S pretty soon when I'm able to scoop up a real nice Android phone and leave ios behind for good like I should have done when I switched from the very first iPhone on Cingular Wireless!! But yeah sorry, um... Little long-winded on my first ever reply on XDA. I'll try not to make a habit of that. I was just wondering if anyone made any progress on this issue, and thought my 2¢ could potentially be helpful, disregarding all the ios b.s. My Kindle Fire is Hard Bricked and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can squeeze something out of that "10% chance for recovery." Thanks a billi.

When you remove your OS off any device without one to install, its like giving someone a car with no steering wheel. You now need to push a ROM thru TWRP using ADB. Try using the solution that helped me, which I provided to another user in this thread:

Creepy never seen that happen on either of my two KFHD7s. Have you tried uninstalling that driver completely? Or uninstalling those drivers thru "Device Manager" AND all others installed for /example the ones provided by Hashcode, then reinstalling them WITH the device still connected? Many times I've realized that these Kindle Fires love to have drivers juggled around. The fastboot cable I made at home using a Samsung USB does FBmode instantly. Try holding the power button for about 20 seconds while unplugged, make sure when you let go it doesn't power back on. If alls well, have the fastboot cable plugged in already to your computer, then attach it to the KF. See if that helps. If not, then believe it or not it might be a hardware failure if the screen goes black as you mentioned...

hi guys from Italy, i have the same very problem...now is the end of Settember....any good news about?????????

Not very much, unless you wanna try hooking up your emmc to a USB card reader like kurohyou did and trying to flash the stock partitions from Linux, no there really isn't any new news. That's basically the only way we have to recover from a hard brick, and it still isntna perfected process, he got his kf2 to a soft brick state after un-hardbricking it, but he couldn't un-softbrick it yet, so he is currently working on that part last I heard.

i think someone finished mapping the rest of the points out on the motherboard but i'm not positive, I'll have to find the thread but the only fix is to solder the kindles motherboard contact point for the emmc to a sdcard reader and hook it up to a pc running linux and flash the bootloader partition with the dd command. Keep in mind I'm referring to the hd 7 2012 model, i don't believe anyone has mapped the points for the 2013 model yet.
edit: foudn the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674737&page=3
use the tutorial for the kf2 or kfhd8.9" but use the contact points mentioned there, might take some researching to know what each of those corresponds to on the sdcard reader. Not everybody is up to soldering on their kindle to fix a hard brick.

Hello,
i found these Thread, because i have the same problems.During the boot the kindle shows the kindle logo then the fastboot logo and the screen goes black. But if use a fastboot-code at the right time, the kindle stay in the fastboot-mode. So i tried to flash the Bootloader and so from Hashwell. The output of fastboot says everythings ok, no errors, but my kindle doesn't leave the bootloop. What i done wrong? I read about the Kindle Fire First Aide-Kit, but i cant find an downloadlink, that still work.

HELP ME with kindle fire hd 7

Hi this is my problem nephew got kindle fire hd 7 for xmas stupid idea hes only 11 anyway he has put a pin in to the tablet and now has forgotten it when you boot it up all it does is ask for a pin there is no way of getting in to it,how can I get in to this tablet I have some idea of what im doing rooted tablets before so I know how to use adb,now adb see the device gives me a number but I tried to use KFFirstAide to restore the kindle but the programme isn't working as its telling me adb is not working ive looked in to hacking the pin to get into it but from what I have read and watched online its saying you need to have adb working but yet I don't think its enabled on the tablet does anyone know of a back door like on android when you holed the volume down you get the dead droid then you can go to option of restore or is there another way to get into this tablet its brand new never been played with just pin put into it and now cant get into it anyone guide me or help me please proper head scratching happening at the momement thanks in advance

I thought if you typed the pin in wrong enough times it would give you the option to restore factory defaults. If adb wasn't on then I don't see you turning it on externally. If it doesn't present you with a way to format it then I suggest getting a fastboot cable and using fastboot mode to clear the userdata, that would probably do the trick.
