I was messing around with Cryogen for my Kindle Fire HD7 and long story short I'm left without a viable OS to run. Now I do have a factory cable and can access TWRP but both are useless (to my knowledge) without having proper ADB.
When I try to access the kindle fire via ADB, it says ADB offline. Is there a way I can turn it online without an OS on the kindle itself? I just want to flash onto it a stock rom and for that I wanted to use TWRP.
Any help would be much appreciated. PS I already tried two computers and reset ADB drivers several times to no avail. Kindle First Aide seems to work via fast boot but their download servers are down so I can't download the rom and flash it that way either.
Since you can boot to TWRP try using adb sideload to sideload a rom.
Its in Advanced (i think)

Long story short. My Kindle is stuck at the System Recovery screen. I got my Factory USB cable from SKORPN today. ( Can't tag, I'm new to these forums) My Kindle is not recognized by ADB, is there any way I can push ADB to my Kindle Fire HD 7? I have KF First Aide, but it isn't working since my Kindle doesn't have ADB enabled. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, and the solution will be cherished for life. Oh, it has 7.3.1 firmware.
The factory cable will let your device boot into fastboot mode.
ADB commands dont work in fastboot.

Thanks, I found the solution when I plugged my working Kindle into my pc with the Factory Cable. Other drivers, besides the amazon adb driver, were installed. Now my other kindle boots into fastboot.

My Kindle is in Fastboot, but it is not recognized by my computer. So far KF First Aide, and another recovery tool have been ineffective in trying to restore my kindle while it is in fastboot. according to KF First Aide, the process will fail if adb is not enabled. The problem with that is I reset my kindle to factory defaults after wiping it clean (adb is disabled in factory settings) and my device boots to the system recovery screen when not in fastbbot (no option to enable adb) so again is there any way to push adb to my Kindle? Or is there some other method to this madness? I have tried both the amazon, and universal adb drivers.
I believe the other tool was made by Onemelie or something similar, both tools say (waiting for device).

Kindle fire not able to find Android debug bridge yet normal debugging tools work along with fastboot using a normal USB cable.
First of all u don't use adb commands in fastboot, you still need to restore the stock ROM ( you weren't able to do this right?) so unless you have the IMG backups of boot, system and restore I can't be of much further use because I haven't used kffirst aide, otherwise I do know how to restore the backups manually, and I believe someone also posted some stock backups for people that don't have any.
I suggest trying this it has stock images I mentioned, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
To clear up any confusion of step 2, it meant if ur device is accessible in adb mode and your not using a fast boot cable then u can run that command. Really think that should have been made clearer, because like I said u don't use ad commands in fastboot. That tool should restore your kindle to stock.

This will require a fair bit of research since you seem pretty new, but don't worry, this is easily fixable. You should invest in a factory cable (Maybe around $10) so you can plug your kindle in and get it into fastboot. Then, follow Hashcode's how to on flashing 2nd bootloader and recovery, so you can flash a stock or custom ROM and get everything up and running. Or, you could get Kindle Fire First Aide, plug your device in with factory cable, and choose the option to flash back to stock with fastboot. Before you get Fastboot commands working properly, you must install the drivers I have attached at the bottom. Just extract the one file inside and install through device manager. Your first time in Fastboot, your PC will probably fail at catching correct drivers and your Kindle will come up as an unknown device like Tate-PVT-08 or something, you just right click it in device manager and install drivers manually. Navigate to the folder and let it do its thing, then you're all set.

If you have never used ADB or Fastboot before, chances are you don't even have Android SDK installed, that is a must.

Thanks a lot
So I'm trying to flash CM 10.1 onto my KFHD 7, and I've installed TWRP. Now when I try to boot up so I can move the ROM onto the device storage, it won't fully boot. I get the regular Kindle fire logo, then the blue one, then the flashing one as normal, but then it flashes, goes back the the first, then the blue, and finally opens TWRP. In TWRP, I can't get the device to mount so I can see it on my computer, so I'm not sure how to get the ROM onto the device to flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Try my tutorial, I have been seeing this a lot lately, it just has to do with with something amazon did to their os.

I think in twerp, you can mount usb

You need to flash a custom ROM to boot. I really think the development or Q&A section should have a sticky regarding this issue, or at least Hashcode make note of it in his how-to guide on 2nd bootloader and recovery.

Thanks all. Stunts513, I'm trying it now, I'll let you know.
So there is no device with an issue in my device manager, I see Kindle Fire and under that is Android ADB Interface. But, when I do "adb push ..." all I see is the same thing as if I just type "adb" and the file doesn't transfer. Sorry, I'm a noob.
When typing adb push, it displays the help text? Type adb devices and see if it lists it, also make sure your command prompt is being run as admin, I probably should mention that in the tutorial, because I use windows 7 with uac disabled so I don't have to worry about that kinda stuff.

My advice is to go to the Kindle Fire FirstAide thread on here. Run KFFA back to 7.2.3 and root from that simple script. Then use Hashcode's 7.2.3 bootimg and the TWRP he has on his thread. This way you have matching bootimg and you should not bootloop.
I would put the rom you're going to flash on the root of the SD card before flashing first as well. If you do bootloop, you can flash the rom anyway and save some hassle.

So my device shows up as "0123456789abcdef recovery" or something along those lines. Is this right (the ordered numbers and letters look kind of funny)? Also, I am an admin, so that can't be the problem.
OK that's good that is how the device is supposed to show up. If it displayed the help text last time I'm guessing there was a typo in the adb push command.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
If you get frustrated or simply can't get ADB Sideload or ADB push to work, you may have to go into "Advanced", then "Reboot Bootloader" in TWRP and use KF First Aide to flash to 7.2.3 stock. From there, repeat the process of installing TWRP and Second Bootloader but put a custom ROM on your SD card before the procedure. Your fastboot drivers might not work, I know Stunts513 has drivers you can install.

Ok so when I wrote that, it was showing up when I typed "adb device," but it wouldn't push. I tried again today, triple checking my typing, but now it doesn't show up on "adb device," just the help menu. I just uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers with no luck.
Ok so I finally figured out the issue, it's really kind of silly. In your tutorial Stunt513, you show the push command like this:
Type this into the command prompt: adb push rom-or-gapps-name-goes-here.zip /sdcard/
All I had to do was replace the forward slash between the file name and 'sdcard' with a space. Problem solved. Thanks again for helping out!
Hi all,
Okay, so long story short my mother has been using this Kindle Fire HD 7 with CM10? on it for awhile. Very recently it started to become sluggish and I offered to take a look. We decided that she should go back to the stock OS as she literally uses it only to play Scrabble and to read an occasional book and that's where things get weird...
It does/did have TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed, however whenever I would mount the device to my computer (Windows 10) it would never show up as a drive.
Then I decided to wipe it...and now, I cannot get passed the Kindle Fire blue/white logo
I have installed Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9 and when connected it gives me an ADB Status of Online and a Boot Status: Unknown
I'm really just at a loss on what to do at this point...I have installed the drivers that came with the Kindle Fire Utility and my device manager does show Kindle when it's plugged in.
Thanks in advance!

If you can post into recovery . you could adb push some ROM and flash it using the recovery. You might have wiped the system off I suppose???

I'm about 99% sure I did wipe the system. How do I boot the device into recovery? I tried a few different methods and haven't been able.
well simulataneously clicking the hardware buttons did the work for me ???
