[Q] Help: Kindlefire hd stuck in bootloop!!!

Hi all.
I am experienced with the android phones but i am so clueless with this damn kindle fire hd crap thing so i would like to get some help from the lovely community.
I have just received a kindle fire hd from a very close friend yesterday and have been up all night reading most of the guides here and i am still stuck with the damn boot-loops.
I have installed the drivers for the device and i got the sdk adb package along with KFFirstAide.
Main problem :
I don't know what they did to the device "8 and 7 year old kids" but when i plugged it into the charger it started charging when it charged i moved over to the pc and plugged it into the usb on the pc and used abd in cmd the device is not recognized by the abd on pc so no commands works.
The boot-screen or what ever is a "kindlefire" logo with lights moving from one end to the other and its repetitive and that all the life i get out of it.
I know they didn't try and root the device as they are small kids and have no knowledge of that sort.
I cant give any info on the build or any software related info as i got it in my hands when it wasn't working and i am relying on this community's help.
Sorry for the long text.

You are going to need to get it into fastboot and reflash the system image probably, to do that u can try powering it of and running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" from a command prompt, and plugging the kindle in while it says waiting for device. This command is either part of the android SDK, or you can download a utility that has it such as the one mentioned below in link. I personally haven't ever succeeded getting it I to fast boot using that method so if that method fails you will need to buy a fastboot cable or make one, that will kick it into fastboot mode. If u succeed in getting it into fast boot mode you should use the kfhd system image restore tool, lemme get link.

Oh and another note that link has instructions and some people get confused on step 2 because it has a command to run, that's only for if the kindle isn't bricked, so for you I already covered step 2 pretty much in my post, it is just basically get into fast boot mode. Oh and one more thing, while this post was under the 7" forum I saw u said u couldn't retrieve product info so I wasn't sure if you knew if it was a 7" or a 8.9", so I thought I'd mention if u end up having to use a fast boot cable instead of the command method above, run the command after its in fastboot mode, in either case if it says Tate its a 7 inch model.

Thanks very much for your reply but i have already tried the command line you supplied and every time i turn it off and then get the command line ready following by plugging in the usb while the kindle is shut off it just turns on and hangs in the "kindle fire" boot logo.
I cant tell if this is brink or if its just hanging there nor do i know what those kids did to it.
The kindlefire hd is 7" as i got a 8.9" samgsung galaxy tablet my self and kindlefire measured with that seams to be a 7"er.
The main problem is the pc cant detect this kindle device at all its as if i haven't connected the cable at all but the device it self does detect the cable as it turns on and goes into that annoying "kindlefire" boot logo mode and stays there.

Like I said I have never gotten that command to work, just get a fast boot cable they are fairly cheap around 10-15$, or make one if you have a soldering iron. They will make your kindle boot up from off into fast boot mode. This will definitely help you unbrick your kindle.

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

They found a solution' did you read the second page, more than one person was able to do it, using different methods. This is a weird round about method but you could look into it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39133145

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

[Q] FASTBOOT Issues - Not booting into

I have Kindle Fire HD 7 - 11.3.1.0
I am an adb users. I know how to use it. If that helps. My problem is that I cannot get the device to boot into fastboot. I run the command adb devices and it sees my device.. I reboot it, shell, etc. But when I run the "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" command it stays on wait for device. I am using the factory cable that came with the device. It is new. I have run out of ideas... I start with a powered off device (adb is enabled in the settings).. I run the command on the command line.. its now sitting on waiting for device....I plug in the cable .. it powers up.. but just boots. I was able to root the device.. but will NOT boot to fast boot...
Please let me know if I am missing something..
Thanks
Glen

If its rooted run this
Code:
adb shell "su -c 'reboot bootloader'"
What exactly are you trying to achieve with fastboot, that's a 2013 HD, we only have root access so I don't know what you want to use fastboot for.

Woooo, slow down. You have the 2013 Kindle Fire HD 7 and there are no exploit for the bootloader yet. You're gonna brick your tablet. That exploit is for the 2012 Kindle Fire HD 7 only. Stop now and know there is only root available for your tablet at the moment.

Hi.
I've got the same problem - but got 2012 device ( no. D059, camera on left (or right/down/up if you like ) side of screen )
I use typical usb cable, got root acces, adb see my device. But when I plug after typing "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" its normally booted up to system
any advices?

Woa there don't attempt that. 2013 kindle fire hd's aren't supposed to run a 7.x.x os, that's the version used on the previous years, your is supposed to be 11.x.x.

anybody?
I look for factory cable, but in Poland it is unavailable anywhere is there possibility to do something with normal usb cable?

"adb reboot bootloader", also what are you attempting to do with fastboot, just wanna make sure you aren't trying to downgrade to an os not meant for your device (aka anything besides 11.x.x is not meant for your device and will brick it).

I want to flash custom rom.
Read my first post in this thread - my Kindle is 2012 device.
But problem is same that adkg12's so I post here, altough write new one

Eh I would just use the fireflash method as it doesn't require fastboot access, though if you don't see the checkbox next to the red text and leave it unchecked your kindle will have a red screen that only a fastboot cable can fix. Might be less dangerous for you to just use the method you are using then, as long as you check everything's md5sum then its a lot safer for you since you can't get your bands on a fastboot cable.

[Q] Kindle fire 7 HD can only access fastboot Help!!!

I've been trying to fix this for 5 days now I've been reading through forums for hours and I've now come to this I need some real help...
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 store demo model..
I'm trying to root it and get rid of the store Demo restrictions
This is as far as i could get.
I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
To try and get back to factory settings but this didn't work.
I'm stuck in boot loop now ending in a red triangle screen telling me kindle couldn't boot correctly.
I have a fastboot cable so i can get to fast boot.
What I've been thinking is maybe I need to root first before anything in the above post will work but I'm not sure on that.
I haven't been able to discover my kindle in adb using cmd while in fastboot.. Not sure if that is possible in fastboot anyways.
So my real question is how can i either root my kindle in fastboot and flash twrp
I've tried to flash twrp a few times and it seems to have worked as far as cmd but when i get to the device nothing works.
I'm not rooted and I believe that to be the first step can anyone help me?
Please help..

If you don't have 2nd boot loader installed you can't install twrp and have it work... Also you don't need root for fastboot to work which is all that system restore tool uses.If it's in fastboot and it's a 7" model then it should have appeared in the device m,manager as a Tate device once you entered fastboot. Switch to a normal cable once you are in fastboot mode. Once that happens run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and see if it returns anything. If things still go nowhere I suggest trying an Ubuntu live 13.10 CD/USB stick. Tell me how it goes.

Rooting Kindle Fire HD 7 (2013 Model)?

Is it possible to root the Kindle Fire HD 7 2nd Generation?
I have been attempting to do so for the past week, with no success. Don't know if I'm not searching hard enough, or if it is simply not possible.
The first problem I had was that I wasn't able to have adb access to the Kindle Fire HD. I finally got that down, and now it works. I am able to use the "adb devices" command and my kindle appears.
I cannot report the same thing for fastboot, though. I bought a fastboot adapter for the cable from Team Blackhat and the devices goes into fastboot. Unfortunately, command prompt just says waiting for devices when I try using the "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product". I don't understand why fastboot is not accessible. (The fastboot logo does appear on the device screen.)
I have been trying to use KFSOWI All-in-One Tool, Qemu's and other well known rooting programs for the past week with no success. I simply want to root it, but I can't get it down.
If I could get some help with that, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

If the commands aren't working you probably don't have the fastboot driver installed. Look in the device manager for a device with a yellow triangle next to it, probably called Soho (I could be wrong), download my drivers and extract them somewhere, and hit update drivers on the device and point it to my drivers. If it can't find a suitable driver tell me because I don't remember if I ever added 2013 kfhd support to them.

There is no bootloader access for the Soho and the root tool you're using is for the 2012 KFHD and will not work on the 2013 KFHD.
Edit: The link in my signature will lead you to the root process for the Soho.
