[Q] is my Kindle Fire HD Bricked?

Hello, So I'm new to the Android Operating system, a bit of a windows guy, but not so much for linux. I Rooted my Kindle Fire HD, got the apex launcher, chrome...etc... I was removing amazon stuff that i didnt want and I accidentally removed SetupWizard.apk I noticed my navigation bar was gone. Here's were the true stupidity comes in. I Deleted SetupWizard.apk, I then reinstalled SetupWizard.apk from a Galaxy something
Now when i turn on my device, it loads up, says "Setup Wizard has stopped" and contiunes to inform me this everytime I hit ok. Can't change any settings, and the device is not able to be switched into adb mode, but it is recognized as simply a kindle on my PC. Is there any hope?? if i could get to settings im sure i could figure something out.

Do you have a factory cable?
If you don't you can order one from skorpn
or you can make one if you know how to solder
Once you have it, it's easy to deal with your problem

The factory cable is a little different. But, you may not need one.
Turn your device off and enter the following command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
When you see "waiting for device" turn your KFHD on and that should put it in fastboot mode. In fastboot, you will be able to restore a stock "system.img" and repair your device.

Fastboot and ADB are two completely different programs that work in completely different modes. As long as your drivers are in good working order, you should have nothing to worry about.

Ok, I have the computer at waiting for device, after downloading an image to restore. The Kindle is now black, nothing on the screen. Is it working? or should I try to turn it off and on again

I'll quote the creator of the tool you used to restore your Kindle:

He has a KFHD 7" and he chose the correct restore option, What makes you say that?!
It is okay, Don't panic.
But you really need a fastboot/factory cable now, Once you have it,
Let us try something a little different, You now have 3 .img files in you backup folder in C:\KFFirstAide\backup, Correct?
Take those files outside the folder now they are in C:\KFFirstAide
Hold down Shift and right click anywhere in the folder
Choose Open command window here
Turn off your device and then connect the fastboot cable, The device should power up and then fastboot logo is displayed
Copy and paste these commands in the command prompt window
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
Should say
sending...
okay (time)
writing...
okay (time)
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img

...but, I've rarely seen this situation turn out for the better.
It was never actually confirmed what Kindle Fire HD he is using.
I've flashed my system.img dozens of times and I've never seen anything like he's describing. From what I've seen, and considering the system.img was sent, we're looking at two possible scenarios; there was a malfunction in prokenexxusa's software OR user error played a part in the the resulting outcome.
Of the two, it's generally safe to assume the latter.

Kindle Fire HD7 red screen

So I was trying to install TWRP to my Kindle Fire HD7. I had successfully rooted and was using FireFlash to flash the bootloader.
When I pressed boot to recovery the device rebooted showed the kindle logo and then a red screen.
I tried making a fastboot cable but could not get the device to show up in ADB devices. Am I totally boned?
I have links to the directions I followed and a gif of the logo and red screen but I cannot post them since I'm new.

I had this issue also, I just made a fastboot cable, plugged it in and flashed stock files, I then rerooted, installed TWRP, 2ND bootloader, then CM11, finally with PAC-rom.

I can can agree with wire55. Have to have a fastboot cable to fix this. Reflashed stock then created my own personal port ROM.

I made a fastboot (by jumping pin 1 and 4 on a microusb) cable but it shows the device as disconnected in Device Manager.
Here is what it looks like when I turn it on i.imgur.com/TSUHsjW.gif

you dont use adb commands with fastboot mode, you use fastboot commands with fastboot mode. Try "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and see if it reports back. If it does all you will need to do is flash the older bootloader for your device first(check the md5sum plz so you don't hard brick), then restore with kffa or srt. Fireflash method should work fine now for sure once you have flashed the older bootloader.

concerning rdwidam
It says <waiting for device>
I will try again tomorrow, my friend is bringing over a fastboot cable that we know is working.
I'll report back if there is progress. Thanks.

ok that's good, if the command still doesn't respond after it says fastboot mode on the screen, then go to the device manager and look for a device with a yellow triangle next to it, once you find it download my drivers in my signature, extract them somewhere, and right click the device and hit update drivers, point it to where you extracted mine and let it install. If you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first.

OK, I got a fastboot cable but still no luck. Nothing shows up in device manager and no response to fastboot commands. I think I'm going to throw my self on the mercy of Amazon.

So the fastboot cable isn't throwing it into fastboot mode, it is staying at a red screen? You are positive the fastboot cable is a fastboot cable? And i have to ask this even though its stupid but you are positive it was a kindle fire hd 7 and not an 8.9"? The fastboot cables don't work on 8.9" models is why i'm asking, those will go into fastboot with the command i mentioned but its slightly more complicated than that, the device would show up for a brief moment then disappear when turned on.

It is possible our fastboot cable is not working. I will try another one today. I measured the kindle and the view-able screen is 7 inches diagonally, while the whole body including the bezel is 9 inches.

Ok, success! I got out my soldering iron and made a working fastboot cable. Now my kindle turns on and shows a fastboot logo on screen, and I have a device called Tate-PVT-08 in Device Manager. So I installed the android drivers to allow me to use fastboot commands. Then I used KFHD_SRT tools to restore the Recovery and Factory image.
Thank you everyone for all your help and knowledge. I was freaking out a bit, but all is well.

[Q] Rooting Kindle Fire HD with 11.3.2.1

Hey,
I recently bought me a Kindle Fire HD, assuming that rooting and custom roms are no problem.
But I can't even root my device. I tried to use this file but the batch just stucks.
When I try to find my device in console via "adb devices" it's not listet. But I have adb drivers installed.
Any suggestions? I'm really clueless.

No, it doesn't. I guess thats why the batch won't work. I just dont understand why the adb driver doesn't work.

BTW - rooting ist the only thin you can do with Fire HD 7 (2013) there are no Customs in Moment.

Yeah, i read that far already. Rooting is fine for the moment to remove the amazon ads and to install play. Customs will come earlier or later

You know that you have to use a Factory Cable? For Rooting 11.3.2.1 you've to Downgrade bootloader (the script is dealing with that automaticaly) but you have to be in fastboot mode, and fastboot mod is only possible with a factory cable (as far as I know)
BTW "adb devices" doesn't show me my device either.

Its better to call it a fastboot cable, I think factory cable is misleading unless you look it up.

But the batch still stucks here:

Okay, Windows reconized the Kindle as "soho pvt prod 07". Had to update driver manually in order to work.
Now im stuck here: nothing seems to happen anymore. Why?
//Edit2:
Seems to have a brick. Kindle won't boot anymore. I can still access fastboot mode but kindle wont show up in adb devices, so i cant flash the other boot img. Help?

Okay, was able to flash the new image without having kindle in the adb devices list. This brings me back to Edit1: Why does the batch stop?

Power Off your Kindle, then connect your "fastboot cable" --> then your Kindle should power on autom. and show a screen like attached, if not you've problem with your cable. If it shows the screen then there is a Problem with fastboot driver.

Well, it works to this point. I have the fastboot logo on my kindle. The batch flahes the boot image. And then everything stops.
Edit:
Okay, the Problem seems to be, that after the downgrade the kindle does not show up as adb device anymore. It works fine with the new image though.
Is that a driver related problem? Do I need a different driver for the old boot image?
Edit2:
Just noticed that the Kindle never shows up under "adb devices" when in fastboot mode. It dows work when I boot the Kindle normal though.
So the batch stucks naturally an "adb wait-for-device"

How long did you wait? It'll take a few minutes. When your Kindle is powered on do you've an "adb" connection?

I waited a few minutes. I also tried to do it manually. I typed:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot old-boot-prod.img
On my kindle then appears "Start downloading", "writing boot.....done"
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 continue
I hear now the usb-disconnect and afterwards the connect sound of windows, no change on my kindle
Code:
adb wait-for-device
and then I can wait forever. Nothing happens here. Only thing I can do is ctrl+c.

Ok. I tried again with my notebook (still running WinXp) and... it worked. On the second try.
Device is rooted now, annoying ads are gone. Thank god.
Why this did not work under Win7....I have no idea.
Last quastion: How to get GooglePlay now? And i read that I can't use the Amazon store anymore, will I need it for some Apps?

In the post you downloaded your root Script you'll find a link in Signature of the Poster to his playstore Script (To Root your KFSOWI and install working Google Play Click Here)
And yes if playstore ist installed Amazon Downloads are not possible anymore, but you can save all files named “DownloadProvider***.apk/odex“ out of /system/apps before using Playstore Script. You'll find such files also in playstore Script. Than you can always change files. Take the files out of org. Firmware to Download from Amazon and reverse to Download Form google.

Congrats on rooting your Soho! I'm having similar problems that you did initially. The device is recognized in adb. I bought a fastboot cable. The devices comes up in fastboot mode using the fastboot cable but is not recognized in Windows and so 'fastboot devices' comes up empty. You said you fixed that by updating the drivers manually. Can you share exactly what you did please? This has been driving me nuts for over a week. Thanks!

fastboot devices never promted anything for me, either.
I had to go to the Device Manage in Windows, look for the Kindle and manually update the driver to the "android_winusb.inf"

ok well in either situation your going to need a fastboot cable/adapter, i recommend getting the blackhat adapter mentioned in hashcodes 2nd bootloader + twrp tutorial. Now for the other thing i need to know, is this a 2012 or 2013 model? (2013 has no front facing camera)

It does have a front facing camera. Can you give me a link? First time looking in the Kindle fire section.

Ok lemme grab 2 links you will need.
The thread i was talking about it this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
I personally recommend a custom rom over amazon os so that tutorial could be useful to you in the future should you decide to flash a custom rom on it. There's a link towards the top that goes to the site where you get the fastboot adapter.
Alright and secondly you will need this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
Read its instructions or you might have issues. Also when you plug in your kindle with the fastboot adapter it will show up as a tate device in the device manager, download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere on your computer, then in the device manager right click the tate device and hit update drivers and choose a place to search for them and choose where you extracted my drivers and it should install the drivers. If you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first though. Once drivers are working you should be able to restore with kffa.

well i ordered the fastboot adapter and it does go into fastboot mode but i have tried a few utilities and they all seem to blow right threw the process. its like it seeing the phone but not doing anything. the only thing i can think of is USB debugging was not turned on and that may be why i cant get it to act right. of course i cant turn it on cause i'm stuck at the logo so is there a way around that or is there a program like Samsung has called Odin that i can use to flash stock everything on?

Nonono. Adb has nothing to do with fastboot. Adb commands can't even be used with fastboot, only fastboot commands can. Try opening a command prompt that's cd'd into a directory with fastboot in it (kffa or SRT) and run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", if it reports back something then we can establish that fastboot is atleast working.

well the good news is that means fastboot is working, it only is called a tate device in the device manager initially, once you isntall th edrivers it will show up a s a adb interface which is confusing becuase you don't use adb with fastboot. Anyways you should be able to attempt manualyl flashing the device from that command prompt now using certain commands like
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash <partition name> imagename
so something like
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img
it could be that kffa failed to retreive the files or something so it dint flash, sometimes its download links don't work, try srt i think linear posted the link to it, it might actually work out of the box.

[Q] Wiped Internal Storage Including TWRP

Kindle Fire HD 7 1st gen
The title says it all. I was following this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409435
Followed everything it said.
It stated "If not, wipe all above except for your internal storage (/sdcard) and flash the zip file you downloaded earlier then afterwards, wipe your Internal Storage (/sdcard)."
I asked "Just to be completely clear, if I download the zip to my device, I wipe EVERYTHING BUT the internal storage, then I can flash it, and then wipe JUST the internal storage?"
Instead of waiting for an answer, I just did it. As you can imagine, I have a brick now. No TWRP, no recovery mode, just the static orange "Kindle Fire" logo forever. Nothing happens at all when plugging it into my pc, doesn't even recognize any device being plugged in. Called Amazon, and since it's past the one year warranty mark they won't replace it.
So, I guess I just need someone else to tell me that all is completely lost and there is nothing more I can do so I can move on and stop worrying about it and get some sleep.

That's completely fixable, you just need a fastboot cable to kick it into fastboot mode so you can reflash it. I recommend the blackhat adapter that hashcode mentions in his twrp + second bootloader tutorial.

Cool! Thanks for that. I was under the impression that since my pc didn't think anything was even being plugged in that a fastboot cable wouldn't work. I'll definitely try this out!

Well, got a fastboot cable. It origionally showed up in device manager as an unknown device "tate-pvt-08", so I installed the kindle hd adb drivers, and now it appears in the device manager as Kindle Fire - Android Composit ADB Interface, but when I use adb devices in the cmd window, it always returns "List of devices attached" followed by a blank line.
Tried adb kill-server, and android update adb, but so far no luck. almost seems like there's no device info left on my kindle. Any clue as to what I can do?
BTW, tried this on 2 pcs, first Windows 8, and then Vista

adb commands don't work with fastboot mode, only fastboot commands work with fastboot mode. Ex: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

That makes sense. Thanks for the help/patience.
Now at least I know what to do. I'm currently following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254&highlight=network+error and at the end of the download, I had a "network error" Currently trying to not scream and destroy things. Trying again from IE instead of chrome, but man <200 KB/sec dl speeds are going to drive me insane.....
If I take anything away from this experience, it's have the right tools, and always make backups.

I'm back in business in factory w/root. now I can sleep again.
