i made a fastboot cable. it does boot the kindle into fastboot mode. when i type in a command and the kindle is turned on it says unknown device. ive tried updating the drivers but it says it doesnt need to. i guess what im trying to ask is there a way to get it to connect or do i need a new fastboot cable or something along these lines.
my stock cable works just fine and i can connect to adb. im on 7.3.0 so i kinda need a fastboot cable so i can put kinology on it.
SOLVED: Use the fastboot cable to boot into fastboot then switch to the stock cable.
Try SoupKit
ubuntu couldnt pick up the kindle in fastboot. im just confused on why nothing is detecting it. it boots into fastboot mode so it obviously getting the extra power. why wouldnt anything be able to detect it?

In Linux, enter the command 'lsusb' into the terminal. If you see "Lab 126", it is detecting your Kindle.
The "unknown device" error makes me wonder if you are entering the fastboot commands correctly in the first place.

i tried this and its not showing up. i tried in windows 7 an says unknown device and i tried on win 8 and still no success.
just to make sure im not a noob and actually follow directions, do i just use the cable to boot into fastboot then plug in the stock cable or do i leave the factory cable plugged in?
Best to switch.

Hey guys I unlocked my boot loader and rooted once then I un-rooted and re-locked the boot-loader and now I am trying to do it again but I am having a problem. When I have my phone connected in debugging mode it shows up fine, I can use the code "adb devices" and it shows up but then when I load into the boot loader and go into fastboot and connect my phone to my computer Windows 8 says that it can not recognize the device this is on USB 2.0 it also says "device failed enumeration". On USB 3.0 I get a message that says "The device cannot start code 10". I have un-installed and then re-installed the sync manager and mulitple drivers to no avail. Please help.
Help

Yea I've tried two different computers I did have luck with one but I got as far as "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" and get an error that says that it cannot load the "Unlock_code.bin". My hboot version is 1.44. My battery has been full all day due to the fact that its been connected to a computer all day http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Well lets kinda rule things out. It shouldn't be your computer hardware or fastboot files because you tried this on multiple computers. Now what drivers are you using on each computer? Did you tried other micro usb cords? What shape is your micro usb slot on your device (looking at mine right now its kinda dirty)?
Complete those and it should tell you if its a connection problem or not. Otherwise we can partially assume its the software on your phone.

I have been using drivers that didn't seem to work(some that I got off some thread here) but those didn't work so I uninstalled those and then uninstalled and then re-installed HTC Sync. I have used three different cables and my micro usb slot seems to be in fine condition it doesn't seem to be that dirty.

Ok so with one laptop when I have my phone in debugging mode and are in the sense OS the phone is detected using the code "adb devices" but when I go to the bootloader and put the phone in fastboot mode it is unrecognized. On my other laptop it is recognized in fastboot using the code "fastboot devices". I have not used the clear cache yet I will try it later.

Have you updated your firmware? If so, make sure your sdk is the latest version.
Use usb 2.0, usb 3.0 is known to cause problems.
Un-install htc sync but not the drivers.
Before attempting commands, eject htc sync drive from My PC.
Let me know how you get on.

Ok, my firmware is 1.26.502.12 which I believe is the latest for AT&T, I've switched from USB 3.0 to 2.0 still not working in fastboot. I re-installed the SDK yesterday so I don't think there should be an update. I have un-installed HTC sync but not HTC Driver Installer and still after doing all of this the device shows up when it is in the OS but not in fastboot. Also when I reboot my device USB debugging keeps disabling itself.
Any updates to this? I'm running Windows 8, have the HTC drivers / Sync installed.. The phone connects fine while in Windows. But is unrecognized when the phone is in bootloader. This is driving me nuts. I do not have access to another PC. I'm sure someone has this working.
Edit: usb 3.0 ports working after following the plugable.com method for windows 8 usb 3 host controller fix.

There's a hundred topics on this if you just use the search engine.
Thanks for that thought, i have looked, I do have the most up to date kindle usb drivers i can get but still can not get windows to reconize the kindle in fastboot, I just want to clairify that the issue with the hd7 that can "fast boot" is that i cant get my computer to reconize it
Plug it in with a normal cable once it's in fastboot, then try my drivers in my signature on the device in the device manager that should say something like tate-pvt or jem-pvt if it is a 8.9" model.

I only stated that because so many times we have posted lengthy responses to this question and it takes a lot to type it all up on a tablet.
You stated you have 2 7" tablets. So stick with Tate.
So in fastboot , that's what you should see, fastboot. You won't see a red triangle and adb will not be recognized. Download the system restore tool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33156486 follow the OP.
Edit: If a fastest cord does nothing to energize your tablet, that's a hard brick.
Edit 2: Update link to proper one.

What that means is if adb is recognized then you can use a command to get into fastboot with a standard USB. This does not apply to you because you're looking. You want to restore your tablet, I have shown you how to.

*My KFHD7 will not load passed the initial, "kindle fire" logo.
*While running KFFirstAide64 runme.bat, it reads, "The system cannot find the path specified" after I try the recovery.
*In Device Manager under other devices it states, "Soho-PVT-Prod-07"; My computer is communicating with the Kindle.
*I am using a factory (fastboot) cable and my tablet is in fastboot mode as of right now.
*Last updated version known: 11.2.3.2
Is there any other program or recovery option that I can use to restore my KFHD7 to it's factory conditions? How can I get the system to "find the path specified"?
Solution!
I don't know how I missed it but here it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Additional Problems...
When I run the program to recover, it reads, "<waiting for device>".
*I am using "KFHD_SRTv1.3.5" SR Tool which was recommended to me.
*I've tried using different USB ports.
*Waiting for the device proves to be pointless.
*I have downloaded the ADB driver but installing it shows no improvements.
What can I do?
That is for the Kindle fire HD 2012 edition. If you flash it to your Kindle you will Brick it.
You need this program.

I have downloaded the program and tried to restore my device but I ran into the same problem, "waiting for device". I've installed the device drivers as well. I checked on one of the other programs my ADB status and it is not on. I don't believe I can turn it on without getting passed the initial bootlogo.
Do I need the ADB enabled in order for a full recovery? How can I get my device to be acknowledged by this program when my computer is reading that it's there?
EDIT:
I need to restore my kindle.
While in fastboot mode, the logo has 3D orange font that says "fastboot" with a black background. There is nothing else that shows up. Before I tried to root there was green font in I think the top left corner; looked like a cmd prompt was running something (if I recall correctly)..
if you are in fast boot and stuck waiting for device you are probably having a driver problem like I had. I used fastboot on Linux instead of Windows and solved my driver issue that way.

Sorry for the late reply. I'll try out Linux OS and see what happens. I'll let ya'll know the news :fingers-crossed:
EDIT::
So my computer crashed trying to fix my kindle; hard drive malfunction of some sort. My friend put the hard drive into his computer and it erased his BIOS. We then put in an 80GB hard drive that we got for $10, re-installed windows and tried again. Hard drive crashed crashed again. Maybe when I tried to install the drivers they were installed onto my computer instead of the Kindle?
This is an on going process but I probably won't be posting again any time soon. Maybe when I actually start programming things will be a little more self explanatory.
Thanks for all your help. This is all for this thread.

Yes, use a factory/Flashboot cable and use SRT 1.3.5. With that cable the Kindle will go into fastboot as soon as you connect it to a PC/Laptop which has Fastboot drivers loaded. When you are in the fastboot mode, you can confirm that that teh ADB driver is being used by going to Devices--->Kindle
Use Kindle Fire first aide
You should Kindle Fire First Aide at this link to unbrick your Kindle after fixing drivers.

Likely a (Windows) driver issue although could also be USB cable and/or port related. Seen many a crappy cable that allow communication in one mode but not the other. Same for ports, especially older USB3 and those that reside behind a hub. Try switching cables and/or ports to see if the problem abates.
That said, a driver issue is more likely. See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/am...n-fire-2015-tips-tricks-t3214544/post63072252
Thank you so much for the info. Turned out to be the cable. I'm now running 5.3.1 rooted.
