My brother gave me a kindle fire hd 7" that stopped working one day while their 5 year old son was using it. It is stuck on the kindle fire logo screen. It has never been rooted.
I have tried a hard reset with no change. I have also made a factory cable and got it to display fastboot logo.
I have installed the ADB driver and I can query the device and get it to return "tate-xxx-xxx".
When I attempt to use any of the recovery tools the computer hangs at the "daemon started successfully" screen which I believe is due to the fact that ADB is not enabled on the device.
Is there anyway to enable ADB on the device without the ability to navigate the UI? I feel like I'm caught in a catch 22 here.
Please Help!

There are a lot more people on here with better knowledge than I have but I think it may be worth contracting Amazon to see if they will repair or replace it for you. Good luck.

Hey, so I rooted my Kindle Fire Hd 7' using the QemuRoot method following these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049288 I did so successfully after installing all the drivers necessary. Using these set of instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329 After step 7 I encountered my problem.
I can turn on my Kindle but after the Kindle fire logo flashes on the screen for about 15 seconds the screen blanks out and remains blank. The kindle is still on but the screen is just blank. My computer recognizes the kindle when it is plugged in but it is no longer under Kindle fire adb composite but rather other devices kindle with a yellow error stating that the drivers are not installed.
If possible I would like to try to hold off on purchasing a factory cable until I need to.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I didn't think I would mess up my kindle just by moving some files around root.

Interesting. Unfortunately, unless you can get adb working again so you can send commands to the device, it looks like the factory cable is your only option.

This is already known and it is recommended that you get a factory cable anyways, but thanks.
Why?

Because if you brick it to the point that its in boot loops or red boot loader screen that command is useless. The command is useful if your not bricked though.

Specifically owners of the Kindle Fire 2nd edition and Kindle Fire HD 7" should get fastboot cables.
The Kindle Fire HD 8.9" does NOT need a fastboot cable as that mode is automatically detected by the stock bootloader when a fastboot command is entered before turning the device on.
If you are not worried about bricking your device for a few week period while waiting for a fast boot cable that you may never need then this command is very useful, but if it has too be fixed yesterday then you should not attempt much without a fast boot cable. I built one for fun but there is no way I would have paid for one when I may never need it.

If you have a KFHD 7" I think you should invest in a fastboot cable anyway. I picked one up off eBay for $4.45 including shipping and it came in a few days. I didn't think I would need it until I ended up bricking my device when I tried to apply a wallpaper fix. Only used it a few times, but it helped me load CM10.1 with confidence.

I am stuck in the loading screen (kindlefire text) but not fastboot. I have tried both normal cables and a service cable. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
Now I just can't connect it with anything? Is it Texas Toast?? Can't get it out of the load screen and can't turn on fastboot. No adb services.
Hello, I have a 2nd Generation Kindle Fire with red screen when I connect in fastboot lights but the pc does not recognize. please help.

Holy crap! Thank the Gods! I was stuck in a strange bootloop that kept refreshing the Teamwin logo, and that's all it'd do. I was able to successfully install drivers and enable adb. I tried almost every solution (without a factory cable or fastboot capabilities) to reflash the recovery image. Thanks to this, I think I just got my kindle out of a bricked state. Will check back if successful.
Hi i have bricked my kindle fire hd 7 generation 2 tablet. It is not turning on....no changes on screen. Its heating up when connected to charger but not connecting to pc or showing any sign of life. I tried a fastboot cable also
Ugh, I'm the worst. Just bricked the Kindle Fire HD 7" (2013) 3rd Generation trying to Debloat apps which constantly were popping up in the background and crashing Star Wars Heroes two-three times per hour. I was side-loading those apps using "Amazon Fire Tablet Tool" from here at Rootjunky.com
Copied the files over using my regular plain old (NOT fastboot) USB cable and things sort of worked for the past month, downloading various APKs and installing from my Windows 10 Pro desktop pc. But now i'm dead in the water. Tried pressing and holding power & volume for 30-45 seconds to force a reset, but didn't seem to cure the issue. Still stuck at "kindle fire" load screen.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have the same thing. I havent been finding anything to help me with this problem. I wish you luck also
I screwed up installing CM10.1 forgot to put rom onto device and ended up in boot loop.
I got a fastboot cable but the kindle shows as Tate PVT and the update driver box is greyed out. Cant get fastboot or adb to recognise the device.
Is there anyway to recover from this
Thanks

You have TWRP installed, right? Does your Kindle Fire logo turn blue while booting?

If you have twrp installed and the blue kindle boot screen just hit volume down and use the side load feature. But if your fastboot is giving u a problem where u can't hit update driver I would assume it would be because windows is already searching for one still? If so tell windows to skip obtaining from windows update and it finish sooner so u can try to update it manually.

Hi Baconrind. Screwing one’s device is a good opportunity to learn new things. At least this is what happened to me and I’m glad I did. A couple of months ago I bought a new KFHD7. I spend "wonderful :laugh:" weeks as the happy owner of a KFHD7 until I started to discover the shortcomings of same, so I started reading xda-developers’ stuff to try to customise the device. First I rooted it to be able to install Google Play Store. The idea was to stay as close to stock as possible. Unfortunately I lost root with the first Amazon OTA update, then I decided to install a second bootloader, TWRP, etc. To do that I followed Hashcode’s method Kindle Fire 2nd-bootloader + TWRP for the Kindle Fire HD 7 but at some point I bricked :crying: my device. I was stuck at the Kindle Fire logo. I spent hours browsing through xda-developers and discovered that the first thing to do was to get a fastboot cable. I did not have the patience to wait for it to come from China or wherever they make them, so I found a couple of posts on the xda forum here and here. I made my own even my soldering capabilities are quite limited. I shut down the KFHD7 and plugged the “fastboot” cable to the PC and then to the Kindle, a couple of seconds later I could see the fastboot logo. Once I saw the fastboot logo I unplugged it and used the regular data transfer cable instead. Before I started the unbricking process proper I downloaded and installed this tool: KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5.-7.3. I followed the onscreen indications and could reset my KFHD7 back to its original state. Good luck.
Hello, everyone!
Yesterday I tried to flash CM10 in my kindle fire (already running CM9).
I followed the Cyanogen Mod site (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_otter) instructions.
I downloaded Kindle fire utility 0.9.9 (from CM site), and started the process of updating TWRP. At some point of the installation, KFU rebooted my device in fastboot mode, and kept waiting an awnser from Kindle.
It was taking a bit too long, so I restarted the tablet. Now it keeps on the "Kindle Fire" screen forever, and don't respond to ADB anymore (the "adb device" command don't return anything).
I believe it is not bricked yet, because when we connect it to the PC, it does that connection sound. However, I can't reach it with ADB anymore.
Can Anyone give me an advice for this situation?
Thanks a lot !!
You got very lucky, kindle fire utility is not meant for second generation devices, usually using it results in a hard brick. The correct way to update twrp is to grab the latest version's flashable zip from the dev section for your device and flash it from inside twrp and reboot. If you no longer have the blue logo and it is a 7" device you will need a fastboot cable, if you do have a blue logo or this is a 8.9" device you won't need a fastboot cable to fix, but you still need to get it into fastboot mode to reflash some partitions back to stock to fix this unless you get a blue logo in which case you could probably just flash the recovery but from what you said I'm assuming you don't get the blue logo anymore. And only the 8.9" models tend to be detected briefly while passing the bootloader.

In fact, my Kindle fire is a 1st generation one! I had already used KFU to flash CM9 on it (before, it had stock OS) .
Do this fact help in any form?
And, about the cable, I will search one imediatly!!
Thanks for your reply!
O well then this is the wrong device forum on xda... If its a kf1 then I think fastboot cable will still apply to this. Not positive, kf1's aren't my specialty, while my mother has one I never did much beyond rooting and installing twrp. Flashed a Ubuntu touch preview os on it once but that's about it.

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 ???
