Hi All,
I feel like I sort of screwed myself here. I tried rooting my Kindle but didn't fully understand the process and now have a bricked device. Fortunately I have a factory cable and when I plug it into my computer I'm getting the Fastboot Kindle Fire logo on my screen. Unfortunately I didn't set up any recovery before hand (that I know of) and my computer doesn't seem to be recognizing the device.
I've tried following this guide but don't quite understand what to do in step two (I've downloaded ADK and am thoroughly confused).
What are my next steps here for getting my device un-bricked? Any help or guidance at all would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
He really needs to reword step 2. When it refers to using adb, it means if your kindle is able to boot up normally then run that command to get into fast boot. You already have it in fast boot so just ignore the adb part.

So just move on to step 3? I downloaded KFHD SRT tool but not really sure what to do next. Do I need windows or a specific program to launch the SR Tool.bat?
Thanks for all the help, really not familiar with this device at all.

Hi,
Good that you have a fastboot cable. First, Windows needs to see your device. When you go into Device Manager, what do you see? Do you see something like TATE-PVT-08 as an unknown device? You need to "install" a driver for that device. Double click the unknown device, select find drivers yourself, and scroll down until you find the Kindle Fire category of devices. Once you click-through that, you should find ADB Composite Device or something like that as an option. After that, Windows should recognize your device, and you should be able to use fastboot commands on it. (By the way, this assumes that you've installed the Kindle ADB device drivers at one point in time)
See this thread for more information about the actual RESTORE commands. (Look under the Restore section of the first post)

Unfortunately, I don't have a system.img that I can send you. One option is to download Kindle Fire First Aide - that might have access to an older system.img file on it (v7.2.3) which will help you. Here's a post on how to download Kindle Fire First Aide:

I bricked my Kindle Fire HD. I now have a factory cable that brings it up to a Fastboot screen. But all it does it stay on that screen.
My ultimate goal was to put Jelly Bean on it, but I guess I wasn't smart enough to do that.
How does this cable work? And is my only option restoring it to factory settings?
What do I do? I have a hard time figuring out what directions to use because it seems like every website says something different.
The factory cable doesn't do anything but put the device in fastboot mode. You have to use fastboot to restore partition images saved from the 2nd bootloader instructions. Once your device is restored, you can start all over again.
Can you point me towards the best set of directions for this Fastboot? I plug it in and all it does it stay in the Fastboot startup screen.

That's exactly what it's supposed to do. It's just a bootmode that waits to accept a certain set of (fastboot) commands. The first thing you need to ask yourself is, do you have the partition images to restore in the first place?
I don't think I have a backup. I really didn't know what I was doing. My laptop recognizes the device as Tate-PVT-08. I have the Minimal ADB and Fastboot software, but that doesn't recognize it yet.
There's a system image restore script in the android development section, but you said HD and not if it was 7 or 8.9 inch. Pretty sure its a 7 inch since it says Tate, think 8.9 is jem, so here the link if its a 7 inch version. If that doesn't wanna work I think kffa also can help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Oh and ignore the stuff on step 2 about running an adb command, that's only for if Ur kindle is actually able to boot up all the way.

Anyone please show me how to resurect it
You need a fastboot cable. Odd that it shuts off, I don't think its a sign of a bad bootloader atleast, maybe a bad kernel flash or something. My post above applies to you as well, get a fastboot cable and try that utility. Think it should do the trick. Keep in mind that link is for the 7 inch version of that utility, you didn't specify which kindle it is so if its a 8.9 then post another msg because u might not need a fastboot cable and you will need a link to the 8.9" version of that utility.

Hello.
After hours of struggling and Googling (and reading mostly from this forum) I managed to root my KFHD 7.4.6 using bin4ry method. I have two questions about where I'm at right now.
Question 1: While struggling to get adb to recognize my KF, I realized that the problem was quite simple: after installing the special adb drivers, I would plug the Kindle back in and Windows would recognize the device and install the Microsoft drivers - completely ignoring the driver I had just installed. The only way I managed to get around this was to quickly interrupt Windows 7's driver installation and tell it to NOT install drivers from Windows Update.
However, I'm sure there must have been a more elegant way of accomplishing this. What would have been the correct way to do this?
Question 2: Now that adb finally recognizes the KF, and the KF shows up as "Android Composite ADB Interface" in device manager, I want to put Android 4.2.2 on the KF - so CM 10.1. I'm doing preparatory research so I can learn about what I need to do. The big concern for me now is that my KF version is 7.4.6. There seems to be relatively little information about this, and I've seen it explicitly indicated in a few places that only versions before 7.3.something have the exploit available. Does this mean I must first downgrade from 7.4.6? I've had trouble pinning resources down that would help me answer this question - so if anyone has any solid tips about this, I'd appreciate it! I'd really rather not brick it :silly:
Thanks! :good:

I just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
So the answer to my question appears to be "YES", correct? It appears that I need to flash back to 7.2.3?
Question 1 still remains unsolved.
Well you could downgrade it, I don't know if the latest update causes problems, but the thing that needs downgrading isn't the os, its the bootloader. I suggest the fireflash method in seokhuns tutorial, the one you linked. Just make sure to check the first box at the top in fire flash or you will have a red screen brick, which requires a fastboot cable to fix. Also I have never heard of windows update having drivers for the kindle, I mean I usually hit skip anyways, I believe the more elegant solution may have come with kindle fire first aid, not positive though.

I'm having another little inconsistency now.
I disconnect and power off my KF.
I run in cmd: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
It says < waiting for device >
I then plug in my (powered off) KF, and it boots up NORMALLY, and fastboot doesn't return the expected tate-xxx.
Any ideas why?
My ADB is seeing the device. (ie. adb devices is returning one device).
Your fastboot drivers aren't working.

Indeed. Can this be solved by wiping existing drivers and reinstalling Amazon's USB drivers from sdk/extras/amazon ?
EDIT: I've attempted reinstall twice with no improvement. ADB works, fastboot won't.
Um I thought that command only worked on a 8.9" kindle to get it into fastboot.try this instead:
Adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"

Interesting. I tested that. adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader" does indeed put my device in fastboot mode, and fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot takes it out.
Interesting. Seokhun's tutorial seems to indicate that fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product should do it as well... so it seems that my fastboot drivers are... kinda half working? Or something?

That option may have been removed in later versions of the bootloader. Some have had success with it while others apparently haven't. If the reboot command works, your drivers should be working properly.

Sounds good, thanks. I'm following that tutorial even though it's for 7.4.3, and I'm on 7.4.6. I hope that doesn't cause any issues - but 7.4.6 looks like it's pretty new, so I don't see other options.
Ok - I've followed the aforementioned tutorial precisely up to step 4. When I try to boot the kindle up, it shows orange logo, then blue logo, then looks like it's trying to boot normally, then sends me into TWRP.
Is this what is called "boot loop"?
At this point my PC doesn't see the sdcard so I can't get CM/Gapp copied over.
Would it be safe to push CM & Gapp to the sdcard using adb, then resume with TWRP?
EDIT: Still can't boot into the system. Just sideloaded CM 10.1 ROM onto the sdcard. Safe to continue with Step 4, wipe stuff, and install the CM rom?

This ended up working.
However, now with CM 10.1, my PC isn't recognizing the device for MTP. It still does recognize it as an ADB device, but ADB doesn't see it.
Odd that MTP isn't working, u can always switch to pptp mode if that helps, but everything goes to the dcim folder on the sdcard.

I can do ANYTHING on the actual Unit itself the demo mode has it completely locked down Its basicaly just a slide show you cant do anything..
I have a factory cable and im not an idiot I could really use a step by step guide does anyone know of one?
Please help guys or its getting thrown of the window lol.
Use a normal cable, and run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" while the device is powered off and not plugged in, then once the command prompt says waiting for device, plug you kindle in, it should boot into fastboot, from there I believe you can use kindle fire first aid to restore it to a normal amazon os. If once in fastboot you have issues with drivers, try using the ones in my signature.

Hi Stunts,
Thank you very much indeed for your reply and for trying to help me
I wonder if you could dumb that down a little bit more for me.
Im assuming the command you gave me is to be used with abd ?
But I cant seem to get it to work... I downloaded the Dev kit from android and whenever I click on what im assuming is the ABD exe it just does nothing
I need a little more hand holding lol
Much appreciated though buddy.

Yeah I remember vaguely from years ago.
Also use dosbox sometimes so i get the general gist of it yeah.
ok so basically you need to open a command prompt, and cd into the directory fastboot and adb are in, if you don't have fastboot in the same folder as adb in your android sdk, u probably have to update it first, or just get on of the utilities from the forum that comes with it. anyways once you cd into that directory, unplug your kindle, and turn it off then run this command in command prompt: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
now after it says waiting for device, plug your kindle in, i believe it will automatically power on, if it doesn't then hit the power button, it should boot into fastboot mode. From there you can use the kindle fire first aid program to flash the stock rom onto it. Kindle fire first aid is in the 7" general forum (they really should rename it, its more like kindle second generation general forum). I would post a link but i'm on my pc, yea i know that sounds weird but its much more of a pain to do that on my pc when i have as much junk up on it right now as i do, maybe i'll edit the post in a few from my kindle, i'm trying to mod the systemui and framework...

Hi stunts,
Thanks again for another reply
Ive managed to get in to adb and used the command u gave me.
It says waiting for device so i plugged the kindle in (powered off) The kindle turns itself on and just goes straight to demo mode CMD sits and waiting for device
The kindle always seems to install itself on my computer as a portable media device is this a problem?
I did down load the USB drivers in your signature and tried to update to them but the system says they are up to date.
I also tried to uninstall the kindle and reinstall it with your drivers and it still goes to the one windows already has for it.
Well that's odd, that should have worked on a 8.9 inch model, um I don't think fastboot cables work on 8.9 inch models, but that command should work when used like that. A few months ago I found a thread just like yours, I'd have to do some digging to find it. I will see if I can find it.

Don't waste your time with this suggestion. You will need kindlefirefirstaide. There is an option to restore it to stock. You will need to modify the batch file to fix the Dropbox links. All the info you need is in the kffa thread.
Bought a Demo'd Fire HD 6 from Radio Shack during their "Going Out of Business Sale". After tons and tons and tons of reading, and attempting to reflash the boot, I just ./adb reboot recovery, and the Fire wiped clean. Performed a full factory recovery install, and proceeded to register it with Amazon. I have no intention of installing any custom ROMs on it, so now I have a fully functioning Fire for $30. :laugh:
To get rid of demo mode Amazon Fire phone
You can just hold volume up and power while device is off then toggle to wipe data factory reset and demo mode will be gone

Try the driver on my signature, but take note you are on windows 8, you can't install the driver by default because windows 8 won't allow unsigned drivers, you have to boot windows 8 up with driver signature enforcement disabled. Google disabling that and I think it may be the root of your problems.

Do the part at step after where it says added 04/02, and please make sure you check the md5sum of the file before flashing, if it doesn't match up you will have a hard brick. Just Google "md5sum windows" if you don't know how to calculate a md5sum on windows. There's freeware available to do it.

You can't get into twrp anymore be cause we had to restore the stock boot loader, now u just need to reflash the system image and it should boot up, might need the boot image as well, but I think that kfsrt restores both of those, just put it in fastboot again and start the process.

It was a long haul but finally got out of the loop. thanks for your help! the final step that got me out of the ditch was to download and use the KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0, then I ran #3 restore-factory recovery. I learned a lot through the process about fastboot and flashing files. For now I'm rooted with factory launcher and some other options too. I still think I want to wipe it and make it totally android.
Thoughts or recommendations? and thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Well there are a fair amount of ROMs out, I use a tablet ui cm ROM that jester originally made, but when he went straight to cm 10.2 I wasn't ready so I made my own patch for cm 10.1 latest update with tablet ui, if your interested check the link in my signature out, though u need to put twrp back on again.

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.
Here is an easy guide for getting it running, this is the same one I used a long time ago: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/

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.
