I've looked through dozens of threads so please forgive me if I'm duplicating.
I had previously rooted my KFHD7. I used Titanium Backup to freeze some apps (like Silk) and I used LBE Security Master to forbid the stock Amazon apps (including system apps) from accessing the Internet (after I noticed Silk being 'un-frozen' and Amazon Video being reinstalled).
So this morning (don't know what possessed me) I allowed all the Amazon apps access the Internet just to see if there were any updates etc. - next thing I knew my Kindle was going all weird so I rebooted - only to find all the frozen apps defrosted and other stock apps reinstalled - and root removed - the SU binary was gone as was the actual SU app - as were Google Play and some other apps - I kid you not - I don't wear a tin foil hat - Amazon went in and effectively destroyed my Kindle by defrosting/reinstalling/upgrading their apps and un-rooting my device.
Anyhow, I decided to re-root.
I chose - 2 Install Permanent Root with Superuser from the Kindle Fire Utility
Last thing I saw on the screen it was installing FFF (FireFireFire), the screen went off and now nothing. I have the factory cable (I bought it here as a just in case), I have the standard cable - but nothing. Not a flicker. No adb commands come back with anything, no fastboot commands - nothing.
Is there any hope? :crying:
Err... last time I checked, we are supposed to be using Kindle Fire First Aide (KFFA) for the KFHD 7". FFF is for the original Kindle Fire?
Edit:
Perhaps when you enabled all internet access, the 7.3.0 update was pushed to your device? If you didn't have it already that is.

I didn't know about KFFA until after I had used KFU (which I already had on my hard drive along with dozens of other utilities).
(I don't visit XDA much (sorry) because I block a lot of adverts, scripts and tracking etc. via Firefox and so the forums don't look very good on my PC and I can't see the Captchas unless I use IE)
I also didn't know about 7.3.0 until I started searching XDA so I'm guessing that's what happened (I had Internet denied to the apps only a couple of months).
So there's no hope then?

I did already (honestly I wouldn't waste your time without trying as much as I possibly could myself) but my KFHD7 is completely unresponsive.
I've tried the whole 20/30 second hold button thing, I've tried the regular cable, the factory cable, different USB ports (it doesn't register on my laptop in any way). I've rebooted (using the 20 second thing), hooked up the factory cable, then rebooted again (I don't even know if it actually is rebooting because there's nothing on the screen) and then hooked up the regular cable - nothing.
I'd send it back to Amazon but all my private emails and contacts are on it (I used Kaiten to download thousands of old emails). All my logins to various websites are on it, all my passwords were synchronized between Firefox for Android and my (Windows) desktop Firefox. I've nothing criminal to hide (criminal no, embarrassing yes - dating/hookup websites etc.) but I wouldn't want to have to change dozens of passwords.
Can I open it up and short something? Is there a way to manually factory reset by doing something physical internally? I love my Kindle - I even bring it to the shower to play music over speakers (with TuneIn). I'm a big Twitter user and had several Twitter apps and several news app - everything was set up just right :crying:
What annoys me (angers me) is that there was no warning from Amazon. They have my email address (and my phone number) and obviously they have access to my Kindle but they never warned me in advance - they treated MY Kindle like it was a piece of corporate equipment still belonging to them.
I swear - I'll never buy one again. Nexus 7 next time.

Well, What KFU does when you choose the "permanent root" option is root the device, And then, Without your permission downloads and attempts to flash FireFireFire bootloader and CWM recovery, Both made for the original KF, Problem with the KFHD is that when the wrong bootloader is flashed, The bootloader partition is irreversibly damaged. So for now, This device can only be recovered using specific tools that amazon has, So you need to contact amazon, They will probably ask you to ship back your device and send you a replacement.
Also, I forgot to mention - I'm in Ireland - so I'd have to change my Amazon account to a friend's name and address in the UK etc.(get that friend in the UK to let me use their address). I'd have to send the Kindle to them (at my expense) they would have to do the swap with Amazon (if I did decide to send it back) and then they would have to send it to me (at my expense).
EDIT: You were replying (thank you) while I was typing AmrBanawan - it seems to be a lost cause then - short of sending it back - for now it's just a (costly) paperweight.

"Without your permission downloads and attempts to flash FireFireFire bootloader and CWM recovery" - therein lies the problem - I thought rooting involved an exploit, an SU binary and an SU app - end of - when I saw FFF come up on the screen I had no idea what was going on.
Lesson learned - an expensive lesson.

If you read the program notes, you'd see a warning against using this on any device except the original Kindle Fire. It also states that it flashes FFF TWRP & COTR. Now since you already had the program on your computer from before, I'm guessing you didn't go to the KFU thread to read up on this stuff. It happens (I've made the same mistake before).
Well my point is, I now make it a habit to read up on threads dealing with whatever program I am going to use. That way I can make sure if there is an updated version of the program, and also to make sure if the device gets an update, whether I can still use the program or not. (Like 7.3.0 having a new bootloader, and we need to downgrade to 7.2.3 to add Hashcode's bootloader).
I hope I don't come off the wrong way. I don't mean to flame or criticize. Just trying to help out for the future!
Ugg... The blue text is a pain to read.
Ciphernoelie, you may want to beg Hashcode to offer a solution (if there is even one) and also, you may have to just come to terms with the fact that you made an honest mistake and now have to hope for the best. I'm sure the folks at Amazon have better things to do with their time rather than snooping around your private stuff. Be optimistic.

Thanks everyone for your replies - no offence taken to honest replies (Protomartyr).
I've costed sending my Kindle to a friend in the UK by courier or by registered mail plus the cost of him sending it back (plus giving him something for his troubles) and I figure for 20 euros more I could buy a Nexus second hand so that's what I'll do. I'll hang on to the Kindle and (this time) watch the threads here to see if someone comes up with a miracle solution to problems like this (I might prise it open and take a look inside ).
Thanks again :highfive:

Na, when the bootloader partition is damaged the device doesn't even power up no matter what you do!
Your one hope would be one person claimed there's had an sd card in it that was standard and removable, honestly I think they were fibbing but if you found that it would be repairable my experience of just images online and xda reports is this is not the case tho

So a guy from work found an iPad the other day and when he tried to use it apparently it was tracked and now he's being charged with theft. Can the Kindle Fire be tracked the same way? I found one and I'm just wondering if I should even try rooting it or connecting it to the internet. I didn't steal it, there's just no way for me to get it back to the owner seeing as IDK who that is. No point in wasting a perfectly good device. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You should be fine. iOS has that tracking app and combined with Cloud, allows you to track the device through Internet. Kindle devices have no such app, although 3rd-party apps from the Play Store can also do this. As long as you've got no such app installed, it's safe.

Alright so I did a factory reset on the device, but it still wont let me register it. Am I going to have to root it in order to "unlock" it or is there another way?
You don't need to register. It only allows you to connect to Amazon services. You can import your own media and still use it just fine. Or root and install CM10.1, then you don't need Amazon at all.
As I know, Amazon can make it "disabled", so you cannot use it if the owner reported it as lost.
Only the way you can use it is flash 2nd bootloader and TWRP, then flash CM10.1.
After operating for years on my old Motorola Droid phone, I noticed the price on the Nook HD+, and research here showed me how easy it was to get to a clean CM Android environment, so I took the plunge.
Went through the procedure today ... Smooth as glass, 1st-time boot of my microSD, stock backup, all the installs (thanks verygreen, e.mote, and leapinlar)! Searching several forums said multiple Android devices with a common Google account was no problem, so I entered my credentials during first CM startup.
I've been running dumb and happy on the phone for so long that I didn't even think about app installs, but the store churned away and installed many of (but not all) of the apps that I have downloaded for my phone over the years.
Problem is, there are numerous apps on my phone which won't be useful (or at least useful for me) on my tablet (GPS signal strength, MyTracks, car operating expense logger, etc). I want to delete these off of my HD+, but if I do so is the next sync of my phone going to nuke them off the phone as well? Should I fall back and punt ... Use a separate Google account for the tablet?
Suggestions and/or pointers to what I should have read before I jumped into the pool much appreciated!
Thanks,
Alan

No, just configure Google to not backup your device. Then it will not restore your apps on different devices.

Thanks leapinlar. There are some items that I don't mind keeping in sync between the ancient phone and the new machine (access point definitions, contacts), but there must be some way to tell it not to backup the tablet's app configuration (I'll back it up to microSD).
Time to start climbing the learning curve!

So after encountering the annoying 505 error I did a full back up via the Backup app as sync manager on the laptop wasn't playing ball.
Did the hard factory reset and then restored from the back up file I had made 10 minutes beforehand.
Most things have restored but I went to check a picture and ALL GONE!
Things like whatsapp messages and contacts didn't restore either.
What can do to recover the lost images?
and typically none of it worked to solve the 505 error.
I know this isn't the usual standard of question on this forum but is anyone able to shed some light on my problem?
Does the HTC Backup program, back up images or is that an oversight on my part?
ok so it seems that i'm an idiot and htc doesn't back up images on an htc account back up.
I'm now trying to run my phone through recovery software (MagicCute Recovery) but the program won't recognize the phone, I guess because it's not a mass storage device and connects via MTP?
I read a guild to turn on developer mode and then turn on USB debugging but that hasn't made any difference.
If there a way to plug my phone in and the computer to recognize it as a mass storage device?

check google playstore for undelete software, plenty on there, be careful about how much you install or uninstall.
Dont know if your aware of this, but nothing is ever really deleted, its flagged as safe to be overwritten and hidden from the user, too much installing or un-installing apps will overwite the flagged images.

I am sure that when connected to a Linux machine it shows as an external drive...not sure if that helps at all ?
If what i suggest is true then you can run Linux within windows from a USB drive,but clearly your recovery software has to be a linux compatible version.
Just a suggestion rather than fact!

Currently browsing play store now, is there any you can recommend?
I wasn't fully aware of how it works but I knew I could recovery most with some nifty software. MagicCute has worked wonders in the past for me.
At least all my music is stored in music play store.
I found a PC based program to scan the phone but the phone requires to me rooted for that, although that was my main reason for joining this forum to root I'm a little apprehensive to do anything like that until I have saved my pics!

Someone else said they had great luck with DiskDigger Pro
Good luck!
Sorry sheppster, completely missed your reply somehow yesterday. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks clsa I'll give that a go once rooted.
I'm currently reading, reading watching and rewatching content on the rooting process. Very confusing for a complete and utter noob. A lot of content is spoken as if I have a clue, haha.
But I'm now registered on HTC DEV, all videos and content say to select all other supported devices due to the HTC One not being listed, but it is. I'm guessing HTC Dev has been updated since the guides were posted. Shall I click HTC One or still use other devices?
I installed Android Studio and also JDK which it asked for, but when continuing to install Android Studio I got the following message...
Is this detrimental to the use of the program or can I just continue?
Sorry this thread is going to turn into more of a rooting Q&A.
I now have sync manager working correctly and have made a back up on my laptop which I'm happier with than having something floating about in my HTC Account. So I think I'll go ahead and try unlocking my bootloader.
Well I have unlooked the bootloader now. Successfully? Not sure!
After confirming to unlock it then restarted and kept going round in circles, it's now saying "Android is upgrading" running through 253 apps. Nothing like the XDA video where it just restarts as a fresh phone.
I used the HTC One instructions from the drop down menu in the end.
Fingers crossed at the end of that it's working and I can continue to root.
Well considering I have an early start I've stayed up far too long messing around.
BUT! My phone is now rooted, I did attempt putting a venom rom on but it didn't install properly although I seem to have a large ammount of it's features here and there like being able to boot directly to bootloader or recovery from the power button.
But any way the lapcop software I had appeared to be useless, it found 603 images from various emails and programs files none on my actual pictures. I'm not running disk digger which again has found background images but still 85% left to scan.
I'm not holding out too much hope now as there's been a few files added and deleted to root and also reset again to root.
I'll update tomorrow how it went.
I didn't realise how cheap Disk Digger Pro was, so bought and ran that last night. I think it found touch under 4000 images but again mostly PNG program images.
It did manager to find 41 useful images though. It seemed to mainly pick up pictures which I had recently used on facebook, so annoyingly mainly recoverable images through facebook.
It picked up a lot of signatures from various emails and made a lot of duplicates. Not a bad effort for under 2 quid though.
Hey Guys,
I recently picked up a (as far as I can tell) Kindle Fire HD 7 2014 (4th gen?). I know my way around various devices (HTC One M7, Nexus 5, Galaxy S6) and I'm decent with fastboot/adb and understanding how to install custom ROM/Kernel/Recovery on devices. However, after spending some time reading through this forum...I'm stumped. The only clear cut guides seem to be for the 2012 version, and some guides are ambiguous and don't state which version. Could anyone give me a few tips? I'm looking to install custom Recovery/ROM, maybe kernel. Thanks for reading this
I too have this issue. I can't tell what hardware I have, except that I just bought it for Amazon "prime day". Any info would be greatly appreciated.

My Kindle 7HD from "Prime Day" arrived today.
I've been fooling around with Android alternative ROMs for a few years - mostly Cyanogen but I've tried others too. At this point, I like the Kindle hardware, but the software has to go. This is not my first Kindle - I had one of the original Fires - but they've done a lot to try to lock it down.
Here's what I've learned so far...
Tha Amazon Developers Forum indicates that ADB will work with the Fire HD (4th generation):
https://developer.amazon.com/appsan...etting-up-your-kindle-fire-tablet-for-testing
I have gotten the Developer Options to work. In the Device Options screen, tap the Serial Number field 7 times, just like tapping the Version number field in Cyanogen. Now I can enable ADB (Under Debugging but when I connect to my Mac, adb doesn't recognize the Fire. I have the Android File Transfer app on my Mac, and that connects just fine... and adb works properly with my other Android devices.
Any advice or links would be welcome. I've searched around XDA but it seems that all the stuff for older Fires no longer works.
Walt
Walts, is your fire recognized, but just unauthorized, or not recognized at all?
adb devices comes back empty.
Android File Transfer responds with a file listing of the Fire.
Fastboot devices comes back empty and locks up my Mac.
According to the Amazon developers forum, I should be clicking YES to Allow USB debugging but I haven't found that on any menu. All I've found is Enable ADB which I have set "on".
Walt
This might be a good starting point.
I've found this thread on a slightly different forum about installing TWRP on a Fire HD 2014
How to install TWRP boot recovery-2014
I've got this nice fresh tablet ready to be rooted and it's sitting on 5.3.1.0. I've removed it's ability to connect to wi-fi to prevent it from updating, of course disabling wi-fi.
I'm concerned where the status is now on what to use and how to go about properly using it? The last time I've tried this method, I bricked my tablet. Yes, I tried rolling back a 5.3.2.0 tablet to 5.1 and it got hard bricked. So, lesson learned there as to what no to do.
I'd like to avoid the same fate with this one. I'm thinking I'd like to have CyanogenMod on it or perhaps Kingroot. Something where I don't have to tolerate Amazon's horrendous ads, it's bad appstore and it's horrible Silk browser. Anything would do, really.
I've gotten RootJunky's tool to flash the tablet for either of the options above. I know how to go about it's process, but I'd like to know what I can get specifically with 5.3.1.0.

FireOS 5.3.1.0 is rootable which, with the proper advance preparation, permits flashing any custom ROM for this device. At present only one is actively/fully supported: Fire Nexus. CyanogenMod 12.1 (CM 12.1) has been discontinued. Keep reading through the forums to get an idea what needs to be done.
