I've been through the same mill as you this past week. Tried everything.
Just about to give up when member galearned on here pointed the way. It worked!!
Files a bit big - 1,1GB. My mobile modem got pretty hot It's surrounded by oriental symbols, too.
I can't provide the link (I'm too new on here) but I think you'll find galearned ok. The filename is:
KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0
Cheers, Bill.

didnt work still boots back to TWRP flash screen tried all 8 bottons what do i do now plz anyone?
in twrp what buton do i pick and witch folder after that plz help anyone

Oh you have twrp, you could just "adb push" a stock rom on there from the development section, but if you're going to take the kffa or kfsrt route with flashing stock, just go into twrp, hit reboot, then hit bootloader, it should go into fastboot. It will probably restore stock recovery though, not sure i haven't use either of the tools mentioned before, so you might have to reinstall that.

just pulled it back from the FIRE
Ok just got it back working, followed your advice and started looking for post about using the sideloading option in the TWRP to push stock OS 7.4.6 to the SD card, found one that gave the adb code to push, im new so i dont know stuff like that "adb sideload C;/desktop/kfhd7-amizon-os-kfhd7.4.6.zip"
Don't know why all the file locations were empty when i tried to use TWRP consol the instructions in the post said reboot after everything else
when i did it would not reboot into system and if i tried to install a zip could not find a file in there anywere witch is wieard because all file came back when i pushed the kfhd7.zip to the sd card even the disk img on my sd card?
anyway all's good that ends well ..........
dont think ill try it again soon on my 7hd
maybe one more time on the one im sending back to amizon its dead i should have a cable by tus so ill try and bring it back to life if only to make sure theres nothing there for techs to refuse my warenty just a big blank space.:good:

[Q] Possibly Bricked KFHD 7"?

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.

Red Triangle Kindle / Stuck in Recovery, need help!

Hello to everyone!
First of all, english is not my native language, so please forgive my bad english
Here is my current problem:
I was working around with my new Kindle Fire HD 7'' (v. 11....), rooted it succesfully, everything was running smoothly.
So i was reading my way through some new posts in here on how to remove and get rid off the commercials on the Kindle.
One comment I saw was suggesting the following:
"You will need to have root access first.
Remount /system as read/write
Enter /system/app and rename or delete dtcp* (forgot the rest of the name.
Reboot
Enjoy."
After reading this, I did exactly what the user was suggesting and proceeded to delete both files I found in the "add"-folder beginning with "dtcp".
After doing this, my Kindle already started throwing some errors, so I went on to rebooting the device.
After that, I came into my current situation, with a red triangle showing up, offering me to reset the device to factory settings, which doesn't help me either. I'm basically stuck in a boot-loop atm.
I would really appreciate any help with this and thanks in advance!!
Greetings

You need a fastboot cable to fix it, you have to reflash the system partition with kindle fire first aid once it is in fastboot.

Edit: if you can't see since the xda app apparently doesnt support stike tags, that was incorrect above because i misread something. so strike that out in your mind if you dont see it stiked through. xD

Don't know what you did but you will have to wait and see if the bootloader gets any exploits because you have to factory reset that way now. I suggest you see if you can get an exchange. Amazon is great about that. There are no other options for you at at the moment.

Alright thanks a ton for the advice.
I got in touch with Amazon support over chat, and the person talking to me was making almost an interrogation out of it since I think they were suspecting that I had bricked the Kindle by rooting it or something similar. But in the end they decided to send me a replacement device.
In addition, they told me I'd get notice from them as soon as they get to examine the state of the old Kindle. You think I'll have to expect any consequences of this if they get to figure out I bricked it by deleting something on root-level which I wasn't supposed to delete?
I just hope they won't make a big deal out of it.... :/ I just hope they won't say I voided the warranty and make me pay for the repair or something

Not likely. They will most likely check for signs of physical damage and send it back to China. I don't think they have scoping capabilities at the return center.

Oh my bad I didn't see the version 11 part in the op, yea those steps I posted are kinda invalid on a 3rd gen kindle.

**** happens. But I think it would be nice if you could correct yourself in the mentioned post so that we can avoid other people to follow the instructions as well and brick their Kindles that way
But besides that, any idea why my Kindle got bricked just by deleting those 2 files that, afaik, only belong to the Amazon-ads-app?
Is it because the app is actually signed, which they introduced with the 3rd gen Kindles?
If that's the reason, that's pretty dumb from Amazon in my opinion, forcing those ads that hard

[Q] Bricked Kindle Fire HD 7''

A while back after buying my kindle I decided to root it. After rooting it (like a total idiot) I tried putting on a second bootloader and running Cyanogen on it. I didn't really know what I was doing and noticed later that it wouldn't charge. It ultimately shut down and won't charge at all. I purchased a fastboot cable and plugged it in but it's not registering anything other than the batter logo (but without the charging symbol). Do I have to wait until it dies completely or is there something I can do to speed up the process?

Nobody? It won't even charge with the factory cable plugged in (or rather display that it's charging) what do I do?

So it gets to the charging logo and never gets past that? Or is it telling you to charge it. Also I don't think you can charge with a fastboot cable.

Well, after letting it sit a while it booted into fastboot mode but KFFA isn't reading it to flash it and install anything. It sits at [Waiting for Device] and doesn't change.

Sounds like your drivers for fastboot aren't installed. Go into the device manger and look for a device that has a yellow triangle next to it probably called tate-pvt. Now download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere. Back in the device manager right click the device with a yellow triangle, hit update drivers, and 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 or my drivers won't install...

Alright, downloading now. So you think this should fix the ADB issue?

I think so, also keep in mind you don't use adb commands in fastboot, you use fastboot commands, so if at some point kffa has a window come up about adb it's useless so kill it, I think it actually asks you a question that determines if that window comes up( like put your device in fastboot?).

So far it's working. It's reading that it's erasing user data now so I think I'm home free now. Thanks a ton!!

Now I have another problem....it won't boot back up. The kindle shut down after KFFA was done and I was given the message to hold it down for x seconds then release it for x then hold it down again, but I've done that and it won't start!

For posting this problem that I will soon have to address with my newly bricked kindle.
I think I may have the same problem that you had and will have wait for my cable to arrive before I make the umteen time attempting to fix the 1 gen Kindle.
I am using a iMac workstation with this application VMWare hosting a Win7 and somehow the device is not showing up after I bricked the puppy trying to install TWRP via Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9 and I did something really stupid and needless to say spent the last 3 days researching and found the factory cable thread and ordered one.
I am waiting till it get here so that I can get past the Amazon Kindle yellow logo. The device is not seen in my mac nor the VMWare Win7.
Could please clean up your OP (Original Post) and list the steps or some bullets for others like my self can follow along with the correct way to repair the kindle.
I will fumble and panic until I get this puppy fixed and rooted with Cyanogen Mod like I wanted to ....
Thanks a bunch SithSerith :good:!

When go through a wrong process you can't hope everything will finish in a good way. Need no wrong to boot files

Does the tablet come on at all? Next time use Fire Flash. KFU is not for a Kindle Fire HD. I hope that the fastboot cord shows some life in your tablet because flashing a different bootloader is most often a hard brick that the fastboot cord won't help with. Hope it works out though. Here are two great posts to read to restore.

[Q] Kindle Fire 2 running 10.4.8

Hello folks,
I posted this in the wrong forum earlier. Im a bit confused and need some direction.
I want to unleash my KF2 to full android tablet, So...I know i need to root it, I want to go with KitKat style rom but want 100% reliability (so will go with the most stable platform), I have been looking at the guides and how to pages for a week now and there is a lot on conflicting or different information. Can someone point me towards a guide or someone who can help me please.
My KF2 is stock with sideloaded apps at present its software version is 10.4.8 (which i can find no information about regarding root or other hacks)
any information will be gratefully received.
Many thanks
Andy

root with kindle fire first aid, think it also has a option to install twrp and 2nd bootloader for you, not sure how reliable that is considering you are going to have to downgrade the bootloader and stuff, for some reason fireflash never had kf2 support added to it, which i find odd considering it uses the same method to do it, minus the fact it needs a different bootloader. Long story short, root with kffa, then either use kffa's option to install twrp and 2nd bootloader(if it has it) or use the tutorial for your device in the android development section made by hashcode. You must downgrade your bootloader though if you do it manually, just a heads up so you don't get stuck with a redscreen that only a fastboot cable will fix.

Thanks very much

Just to summerise,
I root with KFFA,
I install TWRP,
Then a 2nd boot loader,
Then I can do custom Rom,
In a nutshell oh 1 more thing, what's the best Rom to go for and at what point do I need to downgrade my bootloader ? Cheers

O you don't need a fastboot cable, fastboot cables are only to kick it into fastboot mode when bricked, you can get into fastboot from a working kindle with commands such as
Code:
adb reboot bootloader

you could still do it all you need to do is run a simple "adb reboot bootloader" from a command prompt while cd'd into the kffa directory. Thats the equivalent of what it wants to do.

Sweet those are 2 fields I'm always interested in, I took a lot of autotech courses back in highschool because I have an old 75 corvette that sat in the driveway for about 10 years. Already replaced all the brake calipers, master cylinder, rebuilt the carburetor, and did the most ghetto fix to the tachometers circuit board to fix a blown circuit you will ever see. xD
I'll stop digressing before there's a huge paragraph about this, long story short it still isn't drive able yet because the transmission needs some serious fixing (some kinda vacuum issue makes the engine die when going into drive unless you rev it a lot while doing so, and occasionally it blows ATF all over the place from the dipstick/fill hole, was told by my teacher a while back it is probably a blocked vent or something, don't remember the term right now because its been awhile since I looked into it, but I digress again)

Lol, I love the old 'vettes, being a brit most of my expertise are modern TDi engines specifically VAG group and large agricultural engines I.E. SISU power or Cummings, but i'll always try to help where i can,
im going to have another play with the Kindle Fire of annoyance tonight if i get a chance.
I'll post up my yellow triange thingy, and ill try getting into fastboot via command line *bites nails ....shaking with terror*

Still no luck with this thing,
I'm going to start again on my desktop computer where I can start from scratch.
I'll start with the SDK program, Drivers and so on, then onto Root for Windows 7 (anyone with advice - I will listen intently), then I need help to install something like CM or a new OS.
I really want to nail this tonight
Thanks for all your help folks

ok i'm still here to help, also now i recognize who pm'd me the other day *facepalm* sorry i've been gettign on xda like right before i fall asleep lately because of a frustrating project i'm working on thats a bit above my knowledge. Rather than donwload the big sdk, look for a tut made by me in my threads (theres not many threads i created) and it has a zip with adb and fastboot in it and thats it. Way smaller and easier to use, just extract it to a directory and then shift right click the directory and hit " new command windows here" and you can run the adb and fastboot commands. Also drivers are in my signature. They are the kind that you right click the device in the device manager and hit update driver on to use. Any questions feel free to ask.
