[Q][TROUBLESHOOTING] "Bootlooped" KFHD7

Hello guys. I appreciate in advance any help you can bring to this thread.
Please be aware (for my amount of messages) that i'm still a newbie. So, please don't brag or dismiss any opinions or suggestions just because... Instead, try to share your magnificent knowledge and solutions to the following problem:
I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD 7", with second bootloader and TWRP recovery. I was running a 4.2.2 version of Paranoid Android without any problem. I often update ROM's and twerks for the tablet and my SGS3, so i'm pretty much capable of solving many of problems i've faced before, but right now i'm stucked in a bootloop without knowing what to do.
I tried to update my recovery TRWP from 2.4.x version to a 2.6.x version of it (to be able to flash KK 4.4 on KFHD), i've downloaded .img from TWRP web page and flashed via "Flashify" (which i read is the 2nd easiest way to do it), but when i rebooted the device, it got into a bootloop (?). It shows Kindle Fire, first in normal letters color set white-orange, then second color set white-blue, and after it is shown a new icon that says "FASTBOOT kindle fire" in orange... And that's pretty much it. It doesn't moves forward and i can't access recovery mode by pressing power button as usual.
Do you have any ideas of what to do in this scenario? If yes, please share. If don't, thank you anyway for reading the thread.

You can't just use anything when modding. TWRP has to come from Hashcode's thread because he modifies them for the Kindles`s. The other thing is the KFHD7 uses FireFlash. You can try flashing a Nandroid backup in TWRP or you will need a fastest cord and factory reset.

You should have used FireFlash or direct ADB. For now,you can try to restore a Nandroid backup and get the TWRP 2.6.3.1 image from Hashcode's thread. And use FireFlash this time!!

I can't help but notice that he said "twerks" in his original post :silly:

Thank you so very much for your helpful comment.
As i said in the first post, for any reason a can't access twrp recovery by pressing power button right after booting the device. I think a might need the fastboot cable.
Question: Original factory cable doesn't work in this case? y've noticed that i was triying to plug it to the pc with my samsung cable. does it make any real difference (Just comparing factory kindle cable and samsung cable)?.

yes there's a different in KFHD factory cable and samsung cable cause factory cable are made specially for KFHD and its support good speed then samsung cable/
qoute: lol i am a newbie

A factory cable (also known as a fast boot cable) is not the cable that came with your kindle it is a cable you have to make or order.
On the micro USB side it shorts pin one and pin four.
When this cable is plugged in your kindle will boot to a screen that says fast boot and stay there. In this special mode we can use commands from a PC to change the kindles settings.

Technically,you don't need to downgrade the entire system to 7.2.3,only the boot loader. So,a factory reset to stock Amazon is what I would recommend. Then get the OTA update,root it and install the 2nd booltoader and TWRP on it,AFTER you install the 7.2.3 booltoader. There are various ways to do all these. You can use stanga72's FireFlash app,or my Flasher tool,or install them manually.
Good luck.

Bootloop after flashing TWRP

So I followed a guide that used fireflash to flash freedom boot and TWRP. The problem is when it got to the point of backing up before I installed the system, I didn't have enough space. Not a problem right? Well in my haste I rebooted out of TWRP and now I can't get back into TWRP or obviously the system which doesn't exist.
I would have thought it would be simple to get back into TWRP and just carry on but it looks like there is no easy way to get back into it?

Does the logo ever turn blue still?

No it just loops on the orange kindle fire one. It's worth mentioning that obviously it did initially turn blue to get into TWRP but after it asked if I would like to restart, it just went into the loop.

If it didn't turn blue you will need a fastboot cable/adapter to fix, I recommend team blackhats from hashcode's twrp tut.
You will have to reflash stock and go about reinstalling twrp/2nd bootloader, I think you wiped the stack override so it won't boot.

Thanks for the responses.
I have ordered a fastboot cable and it's nice to hear that this is still recoverable. Would you be able to point me in the direction of the best reflash stock tutorial you know of?
The tutorial I used to get into this mess used an APK to do all of the flashing / stack override methods.

That's the same method I used for flashing, it seemed to have worked for you so the method was fine. Anyways you can look in the general section fornmkindke fire first aid, or in the dev section's FAQ post for the SRT(system restore tool), either one fixes it.

At wits end with Kindle Fire HD 7" (7.5.1) - trying to install TWRP

Hi -
I have searched these forums multiple times, had numerous brower tabs open trying to follow instructions, and am at wits end. I am hoping that someone here can help me. I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" which had version 7.5.1 on it. I've rooted, tried using Fireflash to flash TWRP, bricked it twice, recovered it (with the fastboot cable that arrived in the mail 2 days ago), and now I am unable to switch on wifi (I did see the recent thread about this). I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The first two times before flashing the TWRP, I did not downgrade to 7.2.3. Could that have been why it bricked both times?
I just did another reset to factory defaults to try to get wifi back, to no avail. I am doing all of this so that I can install a ROM to escape all of the Amazon interface limitations.
Edit: I should add that I have so many files downloaded now (different versions, per each set of instructions) that I am confused.
Update: I just used SRT_v1.3.0 to restore factory recovery and now my wireless is enabled!
I am afraid to use Fireflash to flash TWRP again after two failures.
Thank you for any and all input!

HOW?? FOR GODS SAKE HOW???
I'm in the same boat, just bricked it now I think, red screen when turning on, thats it

Don't panic... get a factory (Fastboot) cable and use the Unbrick app to revive it. I took so many attempts to get it successfully flashed with CM12. I believe that I was using the incorrect boot image file and had not downgraded to 7.2.3 first. But I don't really understand the whole process. Good luck!

Cheers mate... I will try and find out to make one...

Stuck at red screen during boot after attempted TWRP installation with tweezermod.

So i wanted to install CyanogenMod on my kindle fire 2, because the os amazon provides is horrible. Before i could install any roms, i had to root and install a custom recovery. I found a one-click way to do it here, and it must have failed, but the device was still on, so i manually restarted it. When it booted up, it briefly showed the kindle bootlogo, then switched to a solid red/orange full screen. I would really like help fixing this. Please help. (BTW, i do have root access.)

the TweezerMod forum says that it's only useful for the older bootloader. Go ahead and download and flash the bootloader file from Hash's thread here as directed. You really should get a factory cable if you don't already have one, as you'll need one to get into fastboot to flash the bootloader. After this, reboot and try to get into TWRP. If it works, TweezerMod mostly worked. If not, you'll need to do the entire flashing process manually.
