I just tried to flash 2nd booltloader and tarp recovery on my 7". I went to reboot into recovery one got a Bootloop. It flashes kindlefire for 5 seconds and then goes black for 5 seconds and on and on for about a minute and then shuts down. When I try fastboot my computers hang at and adb says no device. I searched the forum and googled and found nothing so I'm sorry if I missed the answer somewhere. I do have the drivers installed on my computer. I appreciate any help or advice

Yeah I tried everything I know of so hopefully someone has a trick. I'm thinking about sending it for warranty but if they see it was rooted then I might be sol.

You say you got in in fast boot or that you were trying to from adb? Because if your trying to get it in fast boot your going to need a factory cable. From there once its in fast boot you plug it back in to your PC with the normal cable and run fastboot.exe -i 0x1949 getvar product
That should return Tate something. If that happens you should be able to fix it.

I can't even get it in fastboot. I have the cable that it came with. maybe I'm nit doing something right. How should I do it with the factory cable. So far I've tried adb = device not found and fastboot = waiting for device

A factory cable puts kfhd7 in fast boot automatically, not the cable that comes with device,search eBay for Motorola factory cable around 4 euros
Thank you. I'll give this a try

I was just playing with the Rom tool box app. I hit re boot recovery and a screen popped up that said Fastboot kindle fire and just stayed there until I held the power button and re booted the device. Has anyone seen this and can fastboot be used?
Sent from my KFTT using xda app-developers app
Are you sure this is the new kindle fire hd. Because I tried it and it said your kindle cannot boot and gave me the option to re boot or factory reset. And since it has a locked boot loader you can not use fast boot.
Its definitely KFHD. I'll try to do it again a take a pic. I guess my real question is can fast boot be used with a locked bootloader?

Here is a pic of what it looked like. And I'm sorry I hit reboot bootloader.

Yes, the new KF's can be put into fastboot mode.
Yes, you can issue fastboot commands to it.
No, that does not mean you can flash it with a new recovery or ROM and have it boot.
Be careful what you do here. There are very few options left to you if you brick this device. If you don't know what you're doing and you don't think things through before playing around in fastboot, you may not like the results.
I didn't think so. And I definitely won't be playing around in fast boot. Thanks for the response though

Is there any way to flash update.zip with fastboot?
fastboot devices command doesn't recognise my KHD..
I want to FULL restore Kindle to factory condition, as I 've messed up keyboard and some othe things. Resetting to default doesn't help.

try- fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
you have to use the -i 0x1949 with commands, if you use fastboot help it will give you a list of commands
check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930656
Hi all,
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" which I rooted following directions here which went fine and I've been using the rooted kindle for a few weeks. Today when I turn my KFHD on it just sits at the logo screen (no animation or anything) and refuses to boot.
I've tried hard resetting it (holding power button for 30 seconds) which did not help. I found this thread which seems similar to my problem. I was able to add a new vendor ID to the drivers and get the KFHD to show up in device manager when plugged in. However, if I try to use the fastboot command to force it to reboot it sits at "< waiting for device >".
If I do an "adb devices" the KFHD shows up there but I'm unable to do "adb shell". For most adb commands I try it simply sits at < waiting for device >". I'm hoping this means that it's at worst only soft bricked. Interestingly "adb reboot" does work but it goes back to sitting at the logo after rebooting. Does anyone have any suggestions about what to try next?
Does anyone know if the KFHD has a recovery mode I can boot into? I read a few threads that say you can access a recovery/safe mode if you hold down the up-volume button when you power on (and another that says both up and down volume buttons) but I've had no luck with that. It doesn't seem to change anything.
A little more background:
What led to my problem was that I decided to experiment with BotBrew since I'm interested in trying to compile some Linux code to run on Android. The app installed fine and I was using my KFHD normally when all of a sudden I started to repeatedly get a force close messages on some apps (I remember correctly I believe it was the keyboard). Since the message kept popping up I shut down the KFHD and when I attempted to turn it on next this began.
UPDATE: I was able to get it to run "adb reboot recovery" which loaded what I'm assuming was the Kindle recovery. There was an option for "Factory Restore" which I did. I got a kindle fire status bar (presumably for the factory restore). After the "restore" finished it rebooted and was again stuck at the Kindle Logo. Now however the device is not showing up in device manager and nothing happens when I plug it in via USB.
Odd do you have a fast boot cable, or are you attempting to enter adb commands another way?

I do not have a fast boot cable (I just ordered one from SkOrPn since I figured I should have one on hand). I am using the the standard cable that came with the KFHD.
I was able to get it to run "adb reboot recovery" which loaded what I'm assuming was the Kindle recovery. There was an option for "Factory Restore" which I did. I got a kindle fire status bar (presumably for the factory restore). After the "restore" finished it rebooted and was again stuck at the Kindle Logo. Now however the device is not showing up in device manager and nothing happens when I plug it in via USB.
So what's the next step? Do I need to wait for the factory cable?
Try "adb reboot bootloader"

Unfortunately after running "adb reboot recovery" and trying the "Factory Restore" the device no longer shows up in device manager when plugged in via usb.
I'm guessing adb is no longer on by default,
Fast boot via cable may be the only way now...just a guess tho

My issue is, I was installing a ROM but instead of wiping only cache + dalvik, I went and wiped the entire Internal Storage. Now, there's nothing on the "sdcard". ADB doesn't seem to recognize the kindle in recovery and I can't ADB sideload or anything. Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

You need a factory cable. Then just use the system restore tool.

Funnily enough, that's arriving tommorow. What exactly is the system restore tool? Is it user made by a person here on the forums or provided by amazon?

Well, here's another problem. I was fed up of waiting so I went ahead and made the cable. It's in fastboot and says fastboot kindle fire. The problem is, when I use the restore tool, fastboot doesn't detect it either, it just says "waiting for device". Any ideas what that could be?
not 100% have you installed this http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and ticked tools then installed
reading your first post you may have already done this

Ok try this, when you get the device into fastboot switch cords unplug the factory cable and use the one that came with the kindle. You should stay in fastboot.

Try Hinzman's suggestion, the Fastboot cable is literally only to get it into Fastboot, once there, unplug and plug in your original USB cable.

You need to reboot your device normally by unplugging the fast boot cable and holding the power button for at least 20 seconds then try turning it on (still not using the cable).

Kindle Fire HD 7'' Red Screen
Hello, I came here to see if I can get some help with fixing my KFHD. The problem is, everytime I boot it, it shows a red screen and I have a fastboot cable so any assistance will be great.
hey mate. I have exactly the same problem. .did you solve it?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium HD app
Red screen I believe is a mismatched boot loader issue best I recall, I think using the fast boot cable and a restore utility is the quick fix.
