[Q] 7" kindle fire HD boot loop - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My 5yr old son was playing with a stock kindle fire and brought it to me saying it stopped working. He was correct because now it is stuck in a boot loop at the kindle logo. Is there anything I can do to fix it. Sorry in advanced if this has been a topic before, at work not much time to search. Any help would be appreciated thanks

You need a fastboot cable and the system restore utility. Here's a link to the utility:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Once u have a fast boot cable just ignore step 2 on that link, its kinda confusing but your fast boot cable basicly does what step 2's commands do, but those commands require the kindle to be fully booted.
Also wanted to check since I have seen a few rogue posts, is this a kindle fire 7", 8.9", or kf2., or somehow a kf1? That link I used is for HD 7" so if its another kindle please tell me or it will brick it further.

I bricked my Kindle Fire HD :(

I now need to order a factory cable (which you can me out with here: https://www.wepay.com/donations/1151307052 hahaha). In the meantime can someone provide the "right" Kindle Fire HD 7" images to flash once I get my factory cable? Thanks
Also my problem is tried to flash system.img (did not flash boot or recovery just system) and now it just loops. Kindle Fire over and over. If there is a way to get to fastboot before I order my cable let me know. It turns on but just says Kindle Fire in orange and never reachs the blue boot loader
Thanks for whatever help you can give me. Luckly I still have my trusty Linux Laptop which is still working.
This utility comes with them and flashes them for you but I don't think it was recoded in bash shell script, so use the files it has with it, and if you have an understanding of what do do already with the images great, if not I guess I can explain, though if you know how to read batch then the commands are either the same or near similar for the fast boot commands that are used in the script. Who knows maybe this comes with a shell script... If not I might code one in the future if I have time. I haven't had the luxury of bricking my kindle yet so I haven't had a need to download this.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 8.9 bricked help

Ok i have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 bricked.. turns on to the kindle fire screen and stays there....
what i have done so far::
1. tried the factory cable with KFHD_SRTv1.3.5 and KFHD_SRT_v2.1
my computer recon. the kindle fire and i can do enable fast boot from KFHD i see the kindle screen goes black then the kindle fire screen comes back up and stays...
2. KFHD_SRTv1.3.5 - option 3,4,5 all work but 1,2 say the failed remote data to large
3. KFHD_SRT_v2.1 - option 1,4 works..2,3 say the failed remote data to large
4. Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.6 won't even work says ADB Status: Offline
am i doing something wrong ??? i am using windows 7
Don't use kindle fire utility on a kfhd u can hard brick it..
I am a bit unsure as to exactly what is going on, did you get it into fastboot mode because it doesn't sound like you did. Keep in mind factory cable isn't the cable your kindle came with, I call them fastboot cables so as not to confuse people with that term. If it is in fastboot mode your kindle should say fastboot in big letters on the screen. If it does get into fastboot and your having this error then I suggest checking to make sure your fastboot drivers are installed since kfu said its offline. Seriously though don't use kfu it can hard brick your device. On another note I just remembered you said this is a kf8.9. If you have adb laying around I suggest running the command on the system restore utility instructions. Then plug your kindle in and power it on, it should go into fastboot from what I have heard about 8.9 inch kindles.

Bootloop Between Blue and Yellow Kindle

I posted this late last night after spending hours troubleshooting so sorry for the lack of details.
I thought I followed the instructions to a t on this thread. The only step I skipped was backing up my data. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
When my Kindle Fire HD booted, it would loop between the regular Kindle Fire logo and the Blue logo. Eventually it would then go to TWRP. Once in TWRP I tried numerous times to use the Boot Option, Restore Option, and Recovery option to no avail. When I selected Bootloader, I would get the fastboot logo and it would stall there. I had to hard reset to get it to start again. Every time I connected my Kindle to the fastboot cable and entered the ADB or fastboot commens, it would say waiting on device. I also tried using the Factory Restore tool below and that did not work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
When I connected the Kindle Fire HD to the PC, sometimes it would show as Android Device and other times it showed as PVT-8 or something to that effect.
Here is where I am now. The Kindle Fire HD no longer can boot to TWRP. It just looks the normal Kindle Fire logo and it loops indefinitely. My PC can no longer see the Kindle Fire HD at all. Is this a true brick or do I still have a chance?
BTW, I have multiple micro USB cables for all the devices I use. I am pretty sure the one I am using is the factory. How can I confirm this is a fastboot cable?
How did you get back to an orange only boot loop, it was easy to fix when it was blue... If it only is orange you are probably going to need a fastboot cable. Oh and to satisfy you with an answer as to why it boot looped, its because the newer amazon os detects the older boot loader or twrp, and refuses to boot, so you have to have a ROM ready to flash on the sdcard ahead of time.

Thanks. Anyway to confirm that the cable I have is a fastboot cable? Also, how would I go about performing a repair if it is.
If its a fastboot cable you would know it because you bought it for such occasions and because as soon as you plug it into the kindle it says fastboot in big letters. Once you have it in fastboot use kindle fire first aid and try a system reflash, I'm sure it would boot up without a doubt if you used an older version of the Amazon os, like I think 7.4.2 or older, but I don't know what version kffa uses, so if it still doesn't boot after doing that, try using the kindle fire system restore tool.

Thank you. Much appreciated. I ordered one from Amazon but will see about making one myself.
Are you trying to boot into Stock Amazon OS? That's your issue. Download a ROM and proper Google Apps package and either put them on your SD Card by mounting USB Storage in TWRP, or sideload flash a ROM, then you'll boot without issue. Don't forget to factory reset and wipe /system beforehand! I had this same issue my first time.

He somehow got rid of second boot loader, so he can't get into twrp...

If you are going to make one yourself find a Samsung branded cable they have the necessary solder points the rest of them don't seem to

I have the fastboot cable now. It will go in to fastboot as soon as I connect it. I tried using the KFHD Recovery Tool but I am still stuck in a Kindle Fire loop. Any ideas what to do next? I chose option1 and 3 already from the tool.

Why option 1? That is a different version of the tablet. You want to run KFFA and select 'completely restore the KFHD 7 7.2.3' This should be #3 of KFFA.
So once you have the tablet in fastboot, just run KFFA and go from there. Some files will download and then KFFA will push them onto your tablet. After that, your tablet will be stock and you can root and remove OTA updates from there. Keep an eye on your computer screen as the script will tell you what's going on.

I am assuming you have a KFHD 2nd Generation (firmware 7.x.x). if thats the case, then follow these...
You will need a fastboot cable (aka factory micro usb cable) unless you have a way to put your kindle in fastboot mode. Get one from fleabay
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254&highlight=device+not+found and download the KFHD_SRTv1.3.5.zip utility
Use option 3 first to push recovery img to your kindle followed by option 1 or 2
After it completes, you will have rooted ver 7.4.3 on the Kindle
The thread also has links for rooted 7.4.9. You can dl those images and replace them in the utility folder (images) to get a rooted v7.4.9
The KFHD 2 is on a different version than 7.x.x.
