You are going to need to get the device into fastboot and restore the system.img through there. I did the same thing trying next launcher, it really doesnt play nice with the kindle fire os.

Thanks you but I'm only 15 years old and I can't buy this cable :/
Is there any tutorial for noobs, how I come into fastboot without cable?
Becaus I searched and I find methode called "FireFireFire" but no tutorial :/

Firefirefire is not for the HD, it would brick your kindle even worse. You can attempt to make a fastboot cable, but you need a soldering iron. But in the end you will need a fastboot cable to fix it.

Thanks you very much for this Thread, but "Two things will happen: one, the command prompt will show "Tate-xxx-xxx" (something there), and two, your Kindle should reboot into fastboot mode.
My Kindle only starts but in the cmd only I can see "<Waiting for device>" there don't appear a Code.
Is it now in fastboot or not? Or what I should do now?

Personally I never have been able to get that method to work. If u do and your kindle comes up with a screen that says fast boot then that command worked, otherwise I suggest just getting a fast boot cable or making one it is much simpler.

[Q] Brick Kindle fire HD 7", red screen after Fireflash.

hello everyboddy !
I have a rooted kindle fire HD 7" with the last update and i have attempted to install:
2nd bootloader
Fireflash
TWRP
CM10
But... when i have try to install twrp with Fireflash a red screen is a appeared after the reboot.
I'm a noob and i'm a little panicked !!! Can you help me to unbrick my kindle, i'm ready to make evrything but i have only in my hand my kindle and the original cable.
Please XDA's community !!!
buy a fastboot cable
this helped me with a red screen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
The reason this happened was because you was on 7.3x of the AmazonOS, you needed to flash the 7.23 bootloader first before installing the second bootloader. Only a factory cable and the restore tool will save you now.
I did the same thing and the fast boot cable saved me. Good investment.

Also I suggest using hashcodes method rather than using fireflash to install TWRP and cm 10.1. It may look complicated but I've used his method on 3 kindles successfully and I'm a bit of a noob Just make sure you open the command window from the folder in which you saved the files - shift +right click mouse >open command window here. Sorry if you already know this. It just took me ages to figure that out lol! The link is here:

Actually, I've used the FireFlash method twice now on my Kindle Fire HD, and it's worked flawlessly both times, and takes less than five minutes to complete. But hey, whatever works.
i was also stuck in a red screen loop!
you really need a factory cable
what i did was turn off the kindle fire hd then plug in the cable, i turned on the device, and boom just use the toolkit which you can find on the development thread
i hope this helps!!! i was so frustrated as to why it wouldnt work
also you must have the kindle fire adb drivers.
ONLY FOR THOSE WITH A BROKEN POWER BUTTON: and if you dont happen to have a functioning power button like me, wait until the tablet dies, after just plug in the tablet to your pc with the factory cable that way when it finally recharges it boots up in fastboot, otherwise your tablet will be in red screen forever

Why is it recommended to get a factory cable?
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.

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.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD Brick + Factory Cable = Now what???

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.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Stuck in Demo mode.

Hey all
My kindle Fire HD 8.9 is stuck in demo mode.
Please tell me their is an idiots guide to Flashing it back or any bloody operating system cos im tearing my hear out with it..
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.

OK you can't just click that, its a command line program. Do you know how to use the windows command prompt?

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.
Edit: found it, you shouldn't need a fastboot cable if its a 8.9" model, read through the entire thread it may have some insights for you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096555

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

Amazon Kindle Fire HD Stuck In Fastboot Mode HELP !!!

Hi,
I moved into a new house yesterday and when un packing I found an Amazon Kindle Fire HD that was basically left behind I went to plug it in to my phone charger Micro USB and it began too boot up but then stopped at the Fastboot logo with Kindle Fire under it. Ive never had a Kindle Fire before so not really sure what to do tried connecting it to my Laptop but nothing shows up i.e installs etc. I don't know if it would be bricked or a software fault and tried Power and Volume Up and Down to see if there is a recovery system but they isn't.
I hope one of you guys can help
Thanks

when i plug my kindle in the pc it does show tate-pvt-08 in device manager and the kindle is stuck in fastboot mode.. any advice?
Right click the device, hit update drivers, download the drivers in my signature, and extract them, point the update device window to where you extracted my drivers and let it install them, if you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first. Once the drivers are installed I would suggest trying a simple
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
that might kick it out of fastboot. Tell me how it goes.

Hello! First of all, i'm kind of a noob as far as kindle development issues concern, but i managed to install custom roms before (in fact, my brick problema began when i tried to upgrade to CM11 from goo.im). I am really desperate right now because i followed all the instructions in several threads but nothing helped me so far.
Here is my situation:
My kindle fire hd 7" is stuck at Fastboot mode after my failed attempt to upgrade from CM10.1 to CM11. My computer recognizes it as Tate-PVT-08 but it's not accepting any fastboot commands, except for "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot". When i run this command, my kindle actually "reboots" but goes into fatboot mode again and again. When in "cmd", it doesn't recognize the devices either, but when run command "getvar" shows Tate-PVT-08. In conclusiĆ³n, i want to know if there is a problema with the instalation of cmd in my PC, or if you can recommend any tool to restore my Tablet, even if it means going back to stock OS.
Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Are you using a fastboot cord? If so that's why. Use that command and then pull the cord from the computer as soon as it restarts.

Thank you for taking your time to help me out, appreciate it.
I changed the cord because i realized that i'm already in fastboot mode, so don't need fastboot cable. When i run the command, the Kindle boot logo lasts for few more senconds than with fastboot cable, but still goes into fastboot mode again. Also tried pushing all posible buttons (At blue kindle ffire logo) to reach recovery mode but failed. I'm using Kindle Fire First Aide but doesn't seems to work either.
Any toughts? Thank you.

If you see the blue TWRP there may be hope without a doing a factory reset. Press the power button for 30 seconds and power down the KFHD7. Now hit power to turn the Kindle on and as soon as you see the yellow Kindle boot animation hold the volume rocker up and continue to hold it there until until you see the blue TWRP boot animation and continue pressing for three seconds, then release. Do you boot into TWRP? If you see the blue TWRP boot animation you should have it.

If you can get into TWRP that might be to your advantage because you can adb.sideload a ROM onto TWRP flash it and go on with it from there. KFFA has been down off and on. It was once a great tool but it needs updated and the Drop Box account associated with it is down at the momnent.

Mr LinearEquation, thank you so much for your advice.
Following a different thread i managed to boot into TWRP by flashing images of "Freedom Boot" and TWRP itself via fastboot commands. Now in theory i can flash a .zip of any ROM but the thing is that i cannot load zips to the Tablet. even though it's recognized now as KINDLE instead of Tate-PVT-08 in the Device Manager, i'm not able to see the kindle as a Pop-up window where you can drag-and-drop files to the Tablet.
The question is: How do i push a ROM via adb as you mentioned in your previous message? Do you know which file do i need and the proper command to push it?
Kindly Regards.

Help! Mine was stuck in fastboot. When I hit the power button it boots up automatically in fastboot with any device attached to it. Then after a few sec it goes off.

Have you looked at this page? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 Maybe the unbricked section (part 6 of first page) can help in particular the SRT tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 . I have also noticed if you scroll down to troubleshooting section on the first page of first link it lists your problem and the steps to resolve it

Thank you for the reply. Well, my first problem is the kindle doesn't stay on fastboot. It shuts down after a second.

Hi I locked mine up also and used a program called
Demo Mode Restore. Basically you shut off your kindle and unplug the charge/data cable run the program and click enter once then says plug you kindle in and when it boots the program catches it before it starts up and all you have to do is follow the directions and when it restarts its like when you first took it out of the box
You`ll have to do a search for Demo Mode Restore
Hope this help. God Bless )

I moved into a new house yesterday and when un packing I found an Amazon Kindle Fire HD that was basically left behind I went to plug it in to my phone charger Micro USB and it began too boot up but then stopped at the Fastboot logo with Kindle Fire under it. Ive never had a Kindle Fire before so not really sure what to do tried connecting it to my Laptop but nothing shows up i.e installs etc. I don't know if it would be bricked or a software fault and tried Power and Volume Up and Down to see if there is a recovery system but they isn't.
I hope one of you guys can help
Thanks
