You need to restore.. Go back to Kindle First Aide Software, restore your selected model. Hopefully adb or fastboot is still working for you? It should be with no problem, but yea thats what you need to do.
cannot get computer to mount the fire.
saw the cable mod have a few extra cables.
will be good practice and nice to have for my next mistake.
did you fix it?

The recovery will likely remove all the apps you had installed, but that is the only way to fix your bootloader problem. It's a brand new day!
Factory cable is a must have if you have no recovery installed. You should check out both links in my signature.
GOOD LUCK!!!

I'm having the same issue. I used various tools, and all "say" they were successful, meaning they gave no errors but when I reboot, I get stuck in a bootloop at KF screen.
got it restored.

sat down when i wasn't busy and checked everything.
the clip on the end of my cable wasn't tight from when i made the factory cable.
tightened it up and reran the first aid program.
still having some problems with getting the program and computer to recognize the kindle in normal boot mode.

To fix your recognition errors, post your problems in the "Kindle Fire First Aide" thread. Once fixed, I strongly suggest you visit THIS thread and get TWRP. That will allow you to backup your "good" working setup, and give a recovery to boot into to load the backup if you ever mess it up. I have TWRP installed on my KFHD7 and have had zero problems with it.(in fact, it's saved me 3 times already)

Something is not right then.. You need to head over to the Kindle Fire First Aide thread and post you screen shots of what the software is telling you. Sometimes it will say succesful but in the writing there are errors. If you have used the restored option, while your kindle is able to use fastboot, then you should not be in a bootloop. Any other question just post them..

thanks for getting back so quick
i had adb enabled... but as it is stuck on the kindle fire boot im at a loss how to toggle this
doing my own research its clear that the adb server is running on my pc but its not finding the device
when i manually load up adb and try to force the fastboot through i just get error device not found
and adb devices does not list anything....
looks like i need a factory cable no?
stupid passive bootloader, stupid me, should of checked the new launcher i installed was indeed launching, annoyingly i did back up the file just incase lol
Hey there!
I had rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" with success from the instructions from this thread:
androidforums.com/kindle-fire-hd-all-things-root/669366-idiots-guide-rooting-kindle-fire-hd-7-7-2-3-a.htm
Then when I went on to section 4 (installing Google Play) to the bit where it says ' Before you go any further re-boot your kindle (Power off and power back on Kindle!)' the Kindle rebooted with the normal Kindle Fire Logo then changed to a white/blue Kindle Fire logo. It will not continue onto another screen and is stuck on it. I tried holding the power button down for 1 minute but just reboots the same. I am having problems detecting the Kindle, my computer recognises it for a few seconds then it makes a noise to suggest that it has disconnected. I am using Windows 8 32 bit. No orange triangle. My computer wouldn't let me paste files onto the the device.
Does this sound it is bricked? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I am a bit of a beginner to all this.
Thanks
The white and blue logo sounds like Hashcodes second bootloader.

Thank you very much. If the link doesn't work type: Idiots Guide To Rooting Kindle Fire HD
Found it. Read it. Makes no mention of a second bootloader.... I'll read more in depth. You may want to purchase a factory cable. I can't guarantee that you will need it but it's better to be prepared if someone has a solution and it requires one. A $13 investment that will save your kf when all else fails. I can't give you the exact answer but I can direct you in the right direction. The solution may be simple or it may be a pain.
Lemme get you some links.
Go here and ask about the boot logo. > Hashcodes 2nd bootloader & TWRP
And here for factory cable and possible recovery software > kindle fire first aide
Good luck.

I tried to post a comment on that thread but I do not have permission to access the page. So you think if all else fails the factory cable should sort it out? In theory....
You should be able to post a reply in the thread I linked, (bootloader). The cable is always good to have incase you have bootloader issues. Give the Kindle Fire first aide software a chance. If nothing works, even the cable, call Amazon and tell them it just died. Don't mention all the rooting business. More then likely they would send you a new one. Only use XDA methods to root your kf. AND ALWAYS GO SLOW AND READ EVERYTHING TWICE.
**EDIT** You may need a post count of 10+ to post a reply in certain threads.

Thank you very much it worked. I reinstalled it back to 7.2.3 using the factory cable then it worked fine after that, still rooted and everything. The First Aide pack is a great tool and I would recommend it to anybody.
Long story short I flashed a 7.2.3 bootloader from hashcodes TWRP thread to my KFHD7 and now it wont turn on at all. I have a factory cable but fastboot and adb can't do anything since the bootloader isn't even loaded yet. I'm sort of nervous to do the USB boot trick because I heard that that trick was designed for an older kindle model. I'm downloading Firekit now but the option I need to fix my kindle requires the USB boot trick so will that trick work on my kindle or not? Also could anyone point me in the right direction to flashing a CORRECT bootloader so this doesent happen a third time? (My kindle's OS is 7.4.3 with OTA disabled)
P.S. The file attached is the bootloader I flashed.
I would not do what you are attempting, the older tricks and utilities are not usually something u mix with the new kindles. When u say factory cable I have to ask do u mean the cable that came with the kindle or a fastboot cable. If its a fastboot cable then when u hook your kindle up to your PC with it it should make the kindle say fastboot on the screen. If it can then u can reflash the 7.2.3 uboot file. That should fix it. If instead your PC picks up an omap440 device then you are in trouble.

Hmm that's bad, year uncould try seeing if the battery would charge. Ur I'm guessing hard brick, I'd wait to see if anyone else has any other suggestions. I'm guessing when u flashed this either u didn't check the md5 signature first or u tried flashing the zip file instead of what's in it. Sorry if the second one sounds a bit condescending I just don't know how well you are with pc's. If its hard bricked you could try sending it to amazon, they might replace it. Lookup some tips on the forum for she ding it in because I hard things about telling them its rooted but not that u have flashed it or something, cause technically u void the warranty when u root it but sometimes they are forgiving. Anyways see if some other people respond before sending it in.

Sorry to tell you but there is nothing you can do. The "usb boot trick" does not work on the new gen models. I have seen numerous people with the same problem and no solution has been found.
I'm a little confused as to why the fastboot cable won't work. It should entirely bypass the need for a boot loader, that's sort of the whole point.
What happens when you plug in your fastboot cable (to both your PC and your kindle) and power on? Do you even get the orange kindle flash animation?

I don't know where you get that idea, but you are radically misguided. The bootloader is never "bypassed" when using a factory cable. The bootloader is fully functional and doing exactly what it is programmed to do, which is, enable fastboot while a factory cable is plugged in.
However in your case, the bootloader isn't even being loaded because the OMAP ROM has completely halted the boot process...which is exactly why the factory cable will not work.

That's what I thought at first too, but then I thought I heard something about the boot loader having fast boot in it, now I am just confusing myself. Fast boot has to be stored somewhere on the kindle, for some reason I always thought of it as a chip that wasn't part of the onboard storage, but then I realized if we get omap440 bricks and fastboot won't kick in it must be part of the partitions, so I am inclined to think its stored in the boot loader. If I am wrong I would love to know where it is stored out of curiosity.

Wait a sec I just found something: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2135611
Could these drivers be used to somehow communicate with the kindle? Maybe prevent the OMAP ROM from stopping the booting process?
If not then I'll just buy a new kindle, since I can't even access the filesystem to delete the su and busybox binaries if I wanted to send it back to amazon.
The drivers are useful, but not to the point we can use them, we need a program that knows how to communicate sending data to the kindle thru omap440 interface. Much like how adb drivers are useless without the adb program.

Some of the most talented and experienced developers and hackers in the community have been looking at this problem for some time now. The Kindle Fire is not the only device to have OMAP HS processors with M-Shield turned on, and it definitely isn't the first.
Believe me, if there is a solution to this problem, it will be found, but by those who are waaaaaaay more experienced than any of us.
The best you can do at this point is learn from your experience, be much more careful in the future, and do the appropriate amount of research the next time you decide to modify your device.

Don't waste your time. The initial USB loader used to flash images to the eMMC must also be digitally signed. Unless, by some miracle, you happen to have a copy...it won't work. You'd be better off either trying to get a copy of the boot tools used by Amazon in the factory (somewhere in China), or finding an exploit in the OMAP ROM code which, I'm guessing, probably isn't available either.

Well I still do have my kindle so if you do happen to get usbboot and aboot working I'd gladly have my kindle be the lab rat for it. But the only problem is the signature for the USB loader, just like soupmagnet said.
sorry about how old this thread is, but I flashed a good bootloader to my Kindle (forgot the exact model), but it was for a different Kindle. Is there anything I can do? My computer doesn't pickup ANYTHING when I plug it in.
I booted my kinle fire into fastboot mode and ran KFU. I chose option 2 to root the kindle and at the same time kfu installed TWRP recovery. My kindle proceeded to reboot but the kindle logo never showed up and since then it showed no sign of power. I tried the wall charger and i tried the hard reset. None of them worked. What do i do now?

I would wager yes it's gone. But you could try a fast boot cable (I'm guessing that would be a waste of money though) or you could read the thread in the kf2 thread that discusses bringing these types of bricks back to life by taking it apart and attempting to flash the boot loader straight attached to the microchip. But I'm not sure that it's been accomplished yet. Or worth the effort is you'll only be fixing one.
Some people have returned them to amazon if they were still under warranty. I believe it's kinda dishonest but hey that's your call.

I'm having two issues with my Kindle Fire HD 2013 model. First I can't get it to be recognized by my laptop, it was once before but ever since it hasn't been. Secondly I'd like to root the Kindle so that I can add apps from Google Play. So far, the only was to root the device that I've found are by connecting it to the PC. Is there anyway to root it without hooking it up via USB? Also, does anyone think they could help me? I'd really appreciate any help.
Find a one-click no computer root tool for android.... it accepts apks just so you know... go find one and download a apk of it then install and click root button done
I would recommend TowelRoot

[/COLOR]Also, sounds like you have a driver problem. Uninstall any kindle drivers. Uninstall the device from your PC. Reinstall the kindle fire HD drivers and the abd drivers. Plug it back in.

Actually, I've uninstalled anything Kindle related and reinstalled a few times.

Sorry man,the Kindle's system is different fro generic android. Even towelroot won't work. You should go to kfsowi.com and check out the rooting guide.

Hi
My Kindle OS is 11.3.2,5 and the guide only goes up to 11.3.2.4,question is will it work on mine ?
Thanks

Link broken. Is there a better source?
Can I use fastboot to flash a rom even though I do not have root? I do have a working fastboot cable, but I'm on the latest version of the Kindle OS and there is no root for it.

You need kindle suite and a fastboot cable.
Get kindle suite here:

Buy a fastboot cable on eBay.
