Hi,
I think I might have bricked my Kindle Fire HD 7". I successfully rooted it using B1nary's tool (v17) and went about trying to install TWRP. I used this guide:
gizmodo.co.uk/2013/04/the-simple-guide-to-root-the-kindle-fire-hd-and-flash-a-custom-rom
Sorry for the lack of direct links - it's because I'm newly registered
I started having trouble around Step 2, with the adb shell commands not working. So I tried another method, and came across this one:
liliputing.com/2011/12/how-to-install-twrp-2-0-touch-based-recovery-on-the-kindle-fire-backup-restore-flash-custom-firmware.html
Stupidly, in my haste I neglected to read the fact that this tutorial is for a Kindle Fire, not the Fire HD. I got to the final step, step 11 - switched off my KFHD and now it won't start up again. I have a fastboot cable bought from eBay but I'm not sure if I've totally screwed my device or if it can be fixed. Due to the fairly incompetent nature of my fault, I haven't been able to find a solution via searching XDA or other forums, either.
Any help much appreciated.

Yea, flashing anything meant for another device is almost a certain hard brick. when you plug your device into a USB port with a fastboot cable, does it enter fastboot? If it does, you can try a a system restore. If it does nothing, that's it for the device.

Thanks for the quick reply.
It does nothing. Diddly squat. Oh well, I guess I'll just chalk it up to incompetence experience....and go buy a Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 3 :-|

I like my Kindle Fire HD however I just bought a Nexus 7 Flo to get me by until the Kindle Fire HDX has some custom ROM's (if it gets some.) I'm a flashaholic and need a fresh fix lol.
I am having a ridiculous amount of trouble with my kindle. I had rooted it and was swapping through roms quite frequently trying to find something I liked. Somewhere along the way something got messed up. I just want to wipe it completely and start fresh. No root. I have looked for several hours on the web and cant seem to find anything. I need a barney style breakdown step by step with all download links and everything. I get the basics but the terminology gets confusing. Thanks in advance.

You need to download the SDK package as well. Here is a video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw
You will need a factory fastboot cord as well. You can get one off eBay or an adapter here http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm

Thank you. I haven't got a chance to try it yet but I will eventually. I'm now thinking of going back with a root and rom. Do you have any known good ones?

Take your pick http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hd/7-development
So... I cant get it to go into fastboot. Using Kindle Fire Utility version 0.9.6 it shows online 4000. When i try to get it to go to fastboot it sits at Activating Fastboot <4002> and does nothing else. Any ideas?

Why are you using Kindle Fire utility? Do you wish to turn your Kindle into a paperweight? KFU is for first generation only. You need a fastboot cord. Hold the powerbutton down on the KIndle for 20 seconds until the Kindle powers off? Plug the fastboot cord into a USB port and then into the Kindle. The Kindle should power on and show fastboot on the screen. Is this what it does?
Edit: Or are you using a first generation Kindle and posting in a Kindle Fire HD 7 thread?

Can't post a link, but there is a specific Kindle HD forum that should be able to help you. You will brick your device if you use the info found on this forum.

thanks i found out a way to flashboot my kindle fire hd 7 for different commands reboot,flash img etc. But i can't seem to find out a way to fix it! i was wondering if there is even any way to do it!
Sorry, but I only know enough to be dangerous. What I do know for certain, is that if you type "Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD" in the "Type To Find Your Device" box above, you will be directed to the correct forum and more likely to find folks that will be able to help you. This is the first gen Kindle forum, and using any of the solutions found on this forum will probably brick your device.

ey i am in the same page. Same thing happened to me did u find a way to fix it? If so can u please help me step by step? Thanks a lot.
Well, I couldn't leave well enough alone when I had a great running KF HD 7" using CM 11. Tried to install f2fs and royally screwed it up. What I now have is a Kindle that just continually flashes the orange Kindle Fire boot up screen with no access to bootloader or recovery. I think I know the answer to the question already but is there any hope for this device?
Thanks for any help.

Yes,there is. Use a fastboot cable and the Kindle Fire First Aid to go completely stock.

It's been ordered and on its way. Hopefully this will be the solution needed.
I tried to fix my kindle in a boot loop. I used a factory cable, alas my efforts failed as now the system does not turn on at all thus my PC cant see it.
If I replace the logic board from a known working kindle will that fix it?
Hi there,
Please give us more details about your device.
Thanks

the kindle was in a boot loop, I tried to use KFU and it would not take the image. I mistakenly tried to install TWRP and it looked like ot installed and went to reboot. The system is now just a black screen when th no sign of life. The system does not see it esstially the definition of Bricked. I found a logic board for $19. I am technical and have the skills to replace the board. my question is the ROM and SDcard part of the board. I spent hours reading to flash it properly with a factory cable. I just didn't read enough ?
Sir,
Your details about device its not enough. Kindle is only some part of your device name.
Thanks
