Download the KFHD SRTool from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Don't worry you shouldn't need a factory cable. There is another way to enable fastboot.
Power off your device and unhook from the computer.
Unzip the tool and run SR Tool
Choose option 1 or 2
It should say [waiting for device], at this point plug in the device. It should automatically start to boot (if not hit the power button) then go to a screen that says Fastboot Kindle Fire and the tool should start sending the image. This is going to reflash the system image. Be patient it can take awhile to finish. More than likely it is what is causing the problem depending on what you did to cause it. If some applications you downloaded are causing problems I would recommend erasing cache and userdata after the script completes.
To get out of fastboot hold down the power button for 10-20 seconds
Let me know if this works as I have not tried to enable fastboot this way on the HD7. Should work though, it does on the HD8.9 and the original.

Did it go straight to that screen or did the Kindle Fire logo appear first? Like it was trying to boot but then went to that screen. Did you try selecting an option? Did the command prompt change? sorry for all the questions just trying to get a feel for what exactly is happening?

No man really thank you for helping me ask whatever you want
The Kindle logo appears first the device tried to boot then went to the dammin screen .
Yes i tried the options 1 and 2 nothing happened .
The command prompt is just waiting the device couldn't find it .
i think that i need a driver that makes the pc recognize the device on the booting
i saw a way to make a factory cable is it true ?
sorry man but i like to learn every thing

Yeah I just had someone also test that method and it does not work on the 7" hd models, sucks!
To answer your question about factory cable,
Yes it is, and its really easy if you have a soldering iron(don't really need it but helps) and are handy. Basically a usb cable has five leads but only uses four of them. You have to make a jumper with a 1k resistor(thats what is recommended) from that fifth lead to the power(red) lead. Pretty easy.
Here's a link with more details and there is a post by someone in there who sells them, cheap at that:

Thank you again ill try it and tell you what happened with me
so now i made a factory cable and connect my Kindle to the computer and fast boot start computer can recognize the kindle when i used the Kindle Fire Utility to install fire fire fire it turned off and never start again :S

First of all not to be an ass but why would you do this? First the kindle fire utility is for the first gen KF. Second how could you not have seen all the news and articles talking about the bootloader on these devices being locked down. It's probably one of the most talked about aspects about this device right now. What has happened is by trying to load fire fire fire, which is a custom bootloader for first gen, you have flashed over the original bootloader and hopefully not but possibly bricked your device permanently. If you can manage to get it back into fastboot I can send you a backup of the bootloader partition you can reflash. PM me and i'll walk you through it.
Hello, So I'm new to the Android Operating system, a bit of a windows guy, but not so much for linux. I Rooted my Kindle Fire HD, got the apex launcher, chrome...etc... I was removing amazon stuff that i didnt want and I accidentally removed SetupWizard.apk I noticed my navigation bar was gone. Here's were the true stupidity comes in. I Deleted SetupWizard.apk, I then reinstalled SetupWizard.apk from a Galaxy something
Now when i turn on my device, it loads up, says "Setup Wizard has stopped" and contiunes to inform me this everytime I hit ok. Can't change any settings, and the device is not able to be switched into adb mode, but it is recognized as simply a kindle on my PC. Is there any hope?? if i could get to settings im sure i could figure something out.

Do you have a factory cable?
If you don't you can order one from skorpn
or you can make one if you know how to solder
Once you have it, it's easy to deal with your problem

The factory cable is a little different. But, you may not need one.
Turn your device off and enter the following command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
When you see "waiting for device" turn your KFHD on and that should put it in fastboot mode. In fastboot, you will be able to restore a stock "system.img" and repair your device.

Fastboot and ADB are two completely different programs that work in completely different modes. As long as your drivers are in good working order, you should have nothing to worry about.

He has a KFHD 7" and he chose the correct restore option, What makes you say that?!
It is okay, Don't panic.
But you really need a fastboot/factory cable now, Once you have it,
Let us try something a little different, You now have 3 .img files in you backup folder in C:\KFFirstAide\backup, Correct?
Take those files outside the folder now they are in C:\KFFirstAide
Hold down Shift and right click anywhere in the folder
Choose Open command window here
Turn off your device and then connect the fastboot cable, The device should power up and then fastboot logo is displayed
Copy and paste these commands in the command prompt window
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
Should say
sending...
okay (time)
writing...
okay (time)
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img

...but, I've rarely seen this situation turn out for the better.
It was never actually confirmed what Kindle Fire HD he is using.
I've flashed my system.img dozens of times and I've never seen anything like he's describing. From what I've seen, and considering the system.img was sent, we're looking at two possible scenarios; there was a malfunction in prokenexxusa's software OR user error played a part in the the resulting outcome.
Of the two, it's generally safe to assume the latter.

It is a kindle fire HD 7; 16 GB it was on 7.2.3.
So is it fixed?
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium
Hello,
Let me start by saying I have looked a searched through several other threads but cannot seem to find anything that mimics my problem 100%. I had rooted the Kindle Fire HD 7" a few weeks ago and have been going along with no problem. One day (cannot remember what I installed) the KFHD crashed on me and wanted me to Restore the device in a "download mode" type of screen (used the volume buttons to select restore and power to confirm selection.) The device restarted just fine and was working normally. I went through the KFFirstAide root process again, root checker told me it was rooted. Starting using the options in KFFA to diable OTA, install play store, install google apps, installed Holo Launcher.. Some of the programs did not seem to install properly and didn't like the way things were behaving so I went to the Settings/Device/Restore to Factory Defaults...
After that process finished I am not at an Android setup screen. It has a blue Welcome at the top, select Language below that, Start below that, and a green outlined Android guy below that. When I hit start it says Just a sec.... and eventually get the message Setup Wizard has Stopped.. I can no longer see Kindle Fire ADB in the Device Manger.. Nothing seems to work on KFFA.. I have tried using the fastboot command in a command prompt (says waiting for device) and never does anything..
Basically I would like to know, what steps I may have to take to get the device to load properly again, and hopefully root the device again. IIRC the software version I last saw was 7.3.1...
Thank you for your time and assistance and appologize if it has been discussed before, but I just couldn't seem to find it and not sure what this problem is called to be able to properly search for it..
Before. it says "waiting for device", you should have the kindle powered off and disconnected from the computer. Plug it in after it says "waiting for device" and it should boot into fastboot.

Yep, it is powered off and the cable is disconnected. I plug it in after it says waiting for device and it powers up to the Welcome Setup screen.the command prompt on the computer still says < waiting for device >
When I hold one of the volume buttons and press power on it says Safe Mode at the bottom of the screen. Might there be something I can work with in that? Is there another boot method similar to "download" mode on the GalaxySIII?

Sounds like you just need to get a factory cable and use that to get into fastboot mode. If the device is not recognized by adb using the fastboot cmds will not work on the 7" variant, that only works on the 8.9".
Is there a way to make on or do I have to order it?
Just ordered a factory cable ... what should I do when I get it?

You can get fast boot on the KFHD7 using the stock cable and adb by issuing the adb commands then running "adb reboot bootloader" I think it was. I did it this afternoon when coming off the stock ROM to cm10.1
Edit: n/m, I though he had adb but it wouldn't boot fastboot on a restart with the cable. Guess it doesn't help his case if adb itself won't show.

Since your boot loader is still starting up okay, when powered up with the factory/fastboot cable attached it should jump straight into fastboot. You can then use the fast boot command line tool in the adb kit from Google to push either a backup you made previously, or one from a recovery thread back onto your device. Check in the android development section, there's plenty on info on using fastboot.

Ok. I will try that forum when it arrives.. To the best of my knowledge, I had not created a backup at any time so I will search out something from the Recovery Thread.
Thank you

I am just 100% confused now.. I have searched and searched and everything I am reading is just making me more confused.
The cable will put the device into fast boot and will show up in Device Manager as an ADB Device.. I ran option 3 on KFFA and I don't believe the entire system image downloaded as now I am stuck on a screen with a red triangle asking to reboot or restore the device. Neither option does anything.
I have looked in recovery threads for fresh stock images but only find links and directions to TWRP.. Which, if I understand correctly, needs a 2nd bootloader.. And still will need a fresh stock image from amazon. Also, in KFFA it says to connect the device with a normal cable, not fastboot cable, in ADB mode for TWRP and the second bootloader.. I cannot get into the KF to enable ADB like it asks because I cannot get anything to load..
I have downloaded kfhd7-amazon-os-7.3.1 from goo.im and it comes in a zip file. I am not really sure of what to do..
I looked in the Android Development section of this forum and there are only 18 threads that don't talk about fastboot either. Do I need to go to a general Android Development section, not in the Kindle Fire Forum Sections?
I just want to go back to 100% factory original and start over from there..
Also, the KindleFireFirstAide dropbox seems to be overloaded and suspended, so I cannot get the images from there at the moment through their tool.

You didn't need a fast boot cable. All you needed to do was setup ADB drivers and issue the command "adb reboot bootloader"

Even though the device was no longer showing up in the windows device manager as Kindle Fire ADB? The Kindle was being recognized under Mobile Devices.
I don't know if I will be able to do that now that I used Fastboot to reload Factory Reset through KindleFire First Aide (option 3).. I don't think the entire system.img downloaded before it tried to install it and their dropbox server is down now so I can't rerun the command right now.
Solved
Found a link, finally, to onemeila's KFHD System.img Restore tool... Used the fastboot cabled and got it installed and everything seems to be running flawlessly.

Hi,
I moved into a new house yesterday and when un packing I found an Amazon Kindle Fire HD that was basically left behind I went to plug it in to my phone charger Micro USB and it began too boot up but then stopped at the Fastboot logo with Kindle Fire under it. Ive never had a Kindle Fire before so not really sure what to do tried connecting it to my Laptop but nothing shows up i.e installs etc. I don't know if it would be bricked or a software fault and tried Power and Volume Up and Down to see if there is a recovery system but they isn't.
I hope one of you guys can help
Thanks

Right click the device, hit update drivers, download the drivers in my signature, and extract them, point the update device window to where you extracted my drivers and let it install them, if you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first. Once the drivers are installed I would suggest trying a simple
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
that might kick it out of fastboot. Tell me how it goes.

Hello! First of all, i'm kind of a noob as far as kindle development issues concern, but i managed to install custom roms before (in fact, my brick problema began when i tried to upgrade to CM11 from goo.im). I am really desperate right now because i followed all the instructions in several threads but nothing helped me so far.
Here is my situation:
My kindle fire hd 7" is stuck at Fastboot mode after my failed attempt to upgrade from CM10.1 to CM11. My computer recognizes it as Tate-PVT-08 but it's not accepting any fastboot commands, except for "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot". When i run this command, my kindle actually "reboots" but goes into fatboot mode again and again. When in "cmd", it doesn't recognize the devices either, but when run command "getvar" shows Tate-PVT-08. In conclusión, i want to know if there is a problema with the instalation of cmd in my PC, or if you can recommend any tool to restore my Tablet, even if it means going back to stock OS.
Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Are you using a fastboot cord? If so that's why. Use that command and then pull the cord from the computer as soon as it restarts.

I changed the cord because i realized that i'm already in fastboot mode, so don't need fastboot cable. When i run the command, the Kindle boot logo lasts for few more senconds than with fastboot cable, but still goes into fastboot mode again. Also tried pushing all posible buttons (At blue kindle ffire logo) to reach recovery mode but failed. I'm using Kindle Fire First Aide but doesn't seems to work either.

If you see the blue TWRP there may be hope without a doing a factory reset. Press the power button for 30 seconds and power down the KFHD7. Now hit power to turn the Kindle on and as soon as you see the yellow Kindle boot animation hold the volume rocker up and continue to hold it there until until you see the blue TWRP boot animation and continue pressing for three seconds, then release. Do you boot into TWRP? If you see the blue TWRP boot animation you should have it.

If you can get into TWRP that might be to your advantage because you can adb.sideload a ROM onto TWRP flash it and go on with it from there. KFFA has been down off and on. It was once a great tool but it needs updated and the Drop Box account associated with it is down at the momnent.

Now hit power to turn the Kindle on and as soon as you see the yellow Kindle boot animation hold the volume rocker up and continue to hold it there until until you see the blue TWRP boot animation and continue pressing for three seconds, then release. Do you boot into TWRP? If you see the blue TWRP boot animation you should have it.
If you can get into TWRP that might be to your advantage because you can adb.sideload a ROM onto TWRP flash it and go on with it from there. KFFA has been down off and on. It was once a great tool but it needs updated and the Drop Box account associated with it is down at the momnent.

Mr LinearEquation, thank you so much for your advice.
Following a different thread i managed to boot into TWRP by flashing images of "Freedom Boot" and TWRP itself via fastboot commands. Now in theory i can flash a .zip of any ROM but the thing is that i cannot load zips to the Tablet. even though it's recognized now as KINDLE instead of Tate-PVT-08 in the Device Manager, i'm not able to see the kindle as a Pop-up window where you can drag-and-drop files to the Tablet.
The question is: How do i push a ROM via adb as you mentioned in your previous message? Do you know which file do i need and the proper command to push it?
Kindly Regards.

Are you using a fastboot cord? If so that's why. Use that command and then pull the cord from the computer as soon as it restarts.

Help! Mine was stuck in fastboot. When I hit the power button it boots up automatically in fastboot with any device attached to it. Then after a few sec it goes off.

Have you looked at this page? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 Maybe the unbricked section (part 6 of first page) can help in particular the SRT tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 . I have also noticed if you scroll down to troubleshooting section on the first page of first link it lists your problem and the steps to resolve it

Thank you for the reply. Well, my first problem is the kindle doesn't stay on fastboot. It shuts down after a second.
recovery
Hi I locked mine up also and used a program called
Demo Mode Restore. Basically you shut off your kindle and unplug the charge/data cable run the program and click enter once then says plug you kindle in and when it boots the program catches it before it starts up and all you have to do is follow the directions and when it restarts its like when you first took it out of the box
You`ll have to do a search for Demo Mode Restore
Hope this help. God Bless )

I moved into a new house yesterday and when un packing I found an Amazon Kindle Fire HD that was basically left behind I went to plug it in to my phone charger Micro USB and it began too boot up but then stopped at the Fastboot logo with Kindle Fire under it. Ive never had a Kindle Fire before so not really sure what to do tried connecting it to my Laptop but nothing shows up i.e installs etc. I don't know if it would be bricked or a software fault and tried Power and Volume Up and Down to see if there is a recovery system but they isn't.
I hope one of you guys can help
Thanks

Hi, everybody. First of all I want to say that what I did on my KFHD was a rookie mistake which nobody should ever repeat. To begin with, I copied the full Nexus 7 build.prop into my KFHD. When I tried to reboot it, the problem began. The "kindlefire" bootlogo shows up for about 3 seconds and the screen goes fully black. On my desperation, I made the second terrible mistake: I managed to get the KF into recovery mode through System File Manager V 0.4 and made a full restore. Nothing changed. I bought a fastboot cable and I'm trying to restore it through SR Tool but it doesn't work. Is there anything I can do? I would really appreciate your help!

Hi, thanks for your help. I downloaded KF First Aid and followed all the steps. When it finished downloading all the images there is a message displaying " < waiting for device >" and nothing changes. Any suggestion?
OK either you didn't answer no to kffa when it asked if you want it to place the kindle in fastboot, or your drivers for fastboot aren't installed. I'm betting on the drivers. Plug the kindle and open the device manager, you should see a Tate device with a yellow triangle next to it. Download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere. Now right click the Tate device and hit update drivers, hit browser, point it to where you extracted mine. Try kffa again.
If on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first.
