can not boot - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after making a mod I now get the kindle fire system recovery (red triangle).
I have tried the "reboot your kindle" option with no luck & I have tried the "reset to factory" defaults option with no luck.
I am not sure what to do next?

I can not use that method.
I am using a mac.

I think my fire is permanently bricked.

Get a factory cable and flash 7.2.3.

my computer does not recognize the kindle, I have the black cable that came with the fire when bought new.

no the factory cable is a special cable you have to buy our make also called a fast boot cable it tells the kindle to go into a very basic boot up mode so you can communicate with it adb, this making it to where you can restore an old boot image

how can you tell if it is the right cable & where can I get one or do I have to make my own?

I made a thread on here explaining how to make one, but if you can't solder it's of no use to you...
There are a lot of people that claim the eBay ones do not work
So best bet may be ordering one from a guy named sc0rpn on xda
You'll find mentions in the kffaide thread here is a link on how to make one

I can personally vouch for Sk0rpn's cables. I would not have been able to do the experimentation required to develop Kinology without one.

I got my "Sk0rpn's cable" today and when I plug it in I do see the fastboot logo, now I am not sure where to begin to fix my Fire?
I am not sure exactly whats wrong with the kindle?
I am using a mac.
I am still quite new at this.when I turn on my kindle I get the "Kindle Fire System Recovery" screen.

[Q] KFHD Rooted with KFU 0.9.6 but will not start

Hi,
I am new to this and need advice. I tried rooting my KFHD 7" using KFU 0.9.6 and all seemed to be going well until it said it was trying to boot into Recovery mode. The Kindle did not reboot after about 20 minutes and has not turned on since. I have tried various ways to unbrick such as Kindle Fire Unbricker v1.1 but this will not work as the PC does not detect the Kindle. I also have a Factory cable which i understood would put the Kindle into Fastboot and aid me in unbricking but still nothing. Any help would be appreciated, thank-you
Kfu is for the non he models you will most likely need a factory cable to fix

Shawnsch thanks for your response, I have the 'Factory Cable' but my PC on Windows 7 won't detect the Kindle, any idea on how to get it to detect would be appreciated then I can look at further fixes for the device.
I believe he mean the fast boot cable, this one is different than the factory cable. You use the tutorial on how to restore system software, and than your fixed.

Hi, i used a Fastboot/Factory cable to root the Kindle Fire HD but it didn't reboot after rooting and now the PC will not find my Kindle whether i use the Fastboot/Factory cable or a standard cable and either the SDK or ADB........ I am getting the feeling that this will not be fixable
I don't believe that you actually used a factory cable. A factory cable is not a normal using cord' it's not the one the kindle came with. A factory cable is a modified cable that boots the kindle into fastball as soon as it is plugged in. I will try to get you a link to the guy I got mine from

You'll probably need a factory cable, but that's not going to do anything about your driver problem.

Ok, open up device manager. PLug in Kindle. Does it say ADB Composite Interface or ADB Android Composite INterface? If it says the first then you have ADB installeed wrong and you should uninstall it, reboot computer, and install from KF First Aide(Option 12, I beleieve)

He said he tried both of those and it comes back to that screen. That is just a recovery bootloop. First get your KFFirstAide on your computer. Then read from this page on to fix your problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888&page=140 (Look for posts starte by "Bdeatha" and "AmrBanawan". It starts on this page Post number 1396. You won't need a factory fastboot cable, so when you restore you should say "yes" to it asking you to reboot into fastboot mode.
Good Luck!

NO check your devices manager, see if there is a kindle there in "portable devices" and then check device and printer to seee if kindle is in unspecified devices. You should be able to boot KFHD into fastboot without factory cable. To buy a factory cable if you need it you can Private message this guy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4435645

You can explain me how to install your drivers please?
OK if I understand this correctly, I'm assuming if you open the device manager , there is a device called something like "tate-pvt" probably with an triangle next to it. Right click it and hit update driver, tell it to search the folder you extracted my driver to, it should install them from there. On another note, after you use the fastboot cable to put your device into fastboot, make sure you switch back to using a normal cable once the kindle says "fastboot" on the screen.

I've done everything you've told me and nothing. When I install the driver from the device manager tells me the driver is updated and if I put normal cable after entering fastboot mode.
So what exactly is it doing now, or what is saying unknown device, you should be able to see if its working by running the fastboot command like this ”fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", it should report something back, if it does your ready to fix your kindle, otherwise if it hangs on waiting for device, something weird might be going on that needs more looking into.

Soft bricked Kindle. PC won't detect. Help?

I went through the rooting/rom'ing process from another thread and skipped a step so I soft bricked the device. The Kindle will only boot to the blue KindleFire logo before stopping when powered on normally. I purchased a factory cable to get this corrected, and the kindle does go into fast boot mode, but the PC will not recognize the device. It shows up as an unknown device in Device Manager (Win 7)
* I've removed all kindle drives, rebooted computer and installed them again. No change
* I've used USB deview to remove everything and have the drivers install again
* I've tried to manually point the driver installation to a folder containing the correct drivers. Nothing. This PC as well as another Win 7 laptop I own simply refuse to detect the device.
Any other ideas?
As soon as you power it on(before the logo turns blue) keep holding volume up until it goes into recovery. It should be able to since it goes blue, also if you have issues with drivers try the knew in my signature, though if its saying unknown device instead of tate, jem or otter or something like that then that's not always a very food sign.

I've gone through the first link. There are no hidden devices in device manager for amazon. I went ahead and removed all unknown devices, tried various usb drivers through the forums and the Kindle is still not detected.
I have attempted to use the KFFirst Aid utility in the past. It gets stuck at waiting for device since neither the computer or adb detect the Kindle.
The second link you provided links to an original Kindle thread. Is this going to be a problem?

I have tried the volume button trick but the Kindle still boots up the same way. I tried your USB drivers but i continue to get an Unknown Device in Device Manager.
Did you switch from the fastboot cable to the regular one once it was in fastboot mode?

No, I had not tried that. I just did it and it made no difference. The device still doesnt show up under Device Manager and give the unrecognized device message during driver install.

I had similar problem with this and it was, surprisingly, the drivers, you'll need to install them after you connect the device in fastboot again. I thought that if the drivers are working fine when connecting with normal USB, they will work for fastboot too, but I was wrong.

No dice. Uninstalled previous drivers. Rebooted computer. Connected Kindle until it got to the fastboot logo then installed drivers. It didnt take. Shut off the Kindle and reconnected. Still showing as an unrecognized device.
