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.

Hey, so I rooted my Kindle Fire Hd 7' using the QemuRoot method following these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049288 I did so successfully after installing all the drivers necessary. Using these set of instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329 After step 7 I encountered my problem.
I can turn on my Kindle but after the Kindle fire logo flashes on the screen for about 15 seconds the screen blanks out and remains blank. The kindle is still on but the screen is just blank. My computer recognizes the kindle when it is plugged in but it is no longer under Kindle fire adb composite but rather other devices kindle with a yellow error stating that the drivers are not installed.
If possible I would like to try to hold off on purchasing a factory cable until I need to.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I didn't think I would mess up my kindle just by moving some files around root.

Interesting. Unfortunately, unless you can get adb working again so you can send commands to the device, it looks like the factory cable is your only option.

This is already known and it is recommended that you get a factory cable anyways, but thanks.
Why?

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.

I am stuck in the loading screen (kindlefire text) but not fastboot. I have tried both normal cables and a service cable. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
Now I just can't connect it with anything? Is it Texas Toast?? Can't get it out of the load screen and can't turn on fastboot. No adb services.
Hello, I have a 2nd Generation Kindle Fire with red screen when I connect in fastboot lights but the pc does not recognize. please help.

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.

I have the same thing. I havent been finding anything to help me with this problem. I wish you luck also
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.

You may try to send it to amazon customer support center.
My Kindle Fire only show Kindle HD in 6 seconds and turn off after that. I don't know how to fix it
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.

This is my 1st time asking for help since I really have never needed it. I got a kindle fire HD 7" and rooted it. I added TWRP and a 2nd bootloader. For a long time I was stuck in TWRP and every time I tried to reboot it would just go back to TWRP. This morning I tried using the Kindle fire utility and selected option one. It seemed like it worked. I then rebooted and now I am stuck on the Kindle Fire boot screen. It shows Kindle fire on the screen, goes black for a few seconds, then back to the kindle fire, then goes black again. It keeps doing this over and over again. I am not able to get back into TWRP now. I am not sure what to do at this point. I have read just about every thread out there and cannot find a similar situation to mine. Any guidence would be appreciated.
OK mistake number one, do not use kindle fire utility on a kfhd, you could easily hard brick the kindle. That was designed for first gen it's and they work a bit differently than yours. OK now that I got that out of the way, does your kindle still have the logo turn blue?

Thanks for the quick reponse. When I installed the 2nd bootloader and TWRP I got into the bootloop. At that time when it would bootloop it would go from orange to blue twice before going back to TWRP again. After I made the mistake of using the Kindle FIre utility it now just keeps on the kindle fire start-up screen and it is always orange.
You are either going to need a fastboot cable to fix or have some luck getting a command to work... If you open the device manager, and plug your kindle in while its off, does a Tate device show up for a few seconds? If so try updating the drivers on the Tate device to the ones in my signature. From there you should be able to use a fastboot command to get the kindle to boot into fastboot. The command would be "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", but if your not seeing a Tate device then this command will be useless, and I don't wanna finish explaining how to use this command until I know your PC is detecting it, assuming you don't know how to use the fastboot command by itself from a command prompt since I don't know your skill level with android stuff and windows command prompt stuff.

Thanks again for replying. I would say my experience level is low when it comes to command prompts. I get the basics though. I will check when I get home if I see if a Tate device shows up when I connect with my usb and get back to you. Even when I was in TWRP I was having difficulty seeing my device on the computer to add a custom rom to the sd card. I tried sideloading and tried mounting the sd card but nothing worked. I wish now I would have just left it in TWRP and did some more research. Live and learn I guess. I will let you know what I find out. Thanks again.
Ok. I turned off the Kindle and then attached the USB to the computer. Nothing is being recognized. I see now too that my adb interface is also gone. It appears the computer is no longer picking up anything. When I attach the Kindle to the computer it starts the bootloop again flashing the kindle fire screen over and over again. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again.
I think your only hope is a fast boot cable, and honestly or just depends how broke it is whether it works or not

Ok. I wanted to clarify what I did to get in the situation that I am in. I rooted my device with no issues. I then decided to install a 2nd bootloader and TWRP. After all was done my Kindle Fire HD 7" booted to TWRP. I could not get my computer to show my device so I was stuck. Every time I would reboot it would flash kindle fire in orange, then in Blue, then in Orange, the in Blue then would go back to TWRP. I then put the device with the USB attached to my computer and from TWRP I put the device into fastboot mode. I then used the KFHD SRT v1.3.5 tool and opened the SR.Tool.bat and chose option 1. After it was done I rebooted and now I am stuck on the Kindle fire screen (in orange) and it will show for a few seconds, turn off, then go back to the kindle fire screen again (in orange) and just keep repeating. I ordered a factory cable to try to get back to fastboot mode but since it did not work for me the 1st time I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for me. Thanks in advance.
Are you sure it is a factory/fastboot cable? I would either get them from skorn or proxenusa since I know they are reliable.

Hello again. I don't have the factory cable yet; I just ordered it yesterday. When I used the fastboot mode the last time I entered the mode from TWRP and was connected to my computer with a regular usb charger. When it was in fastboot mode I selected the option 1 from the tool I mentioned in my previous post. I am just wondering if the fastboot did not work with the KFHD tool I used because I did not have a factory cable connected hence why I am stuck on the Kindle fire screen. What do you think?
No, typically it is said to use a fastboot cable just to get the device into fastboot, then plug the normal cable in afterward.

For future reference, when you get your kindle back up and running again, you need to flash a custom ROM to boot. The TWRP boot loop stems from trying to boot into stock ROM, it won't work. So just put a ROM on your kindle before you flash bootloader + twrp next time.

I was working on putting CM11 on my Kindle Fire HD when I did a step wrong and I tried to restore to a backup. Unfortunately, I must have done it wrong because now it won't go past the boot screen with the "fire" in orange. I've tried fixing it but I can't seem to communicate to it with ADB anymore. Is my kindle done for?
You need a fastboot cable.
I have a fastboot cable. I've tried using KFHD SRT but all I get is <waiting for device>.
Does it enter fb mode?
