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] No Network Connection Issue

OK, here's the thing...
I hadn't used my Kindle Fire HD for a few days but when I went to read a book (Yep.. Someone who actually uses their KFHD to read books!) I found, much to my disappointment that Amazon had managed to completely wipe it by doing one of their (in)famous OTA updates!
Being totally hacked off at this, I decided to follow the advice on here and Rooted it, which was surprisingly easy and went without a hitch.
I also decided to follow the advice and prevent further OTA updates by removing the "otacerts.zip" file but, on restart I still got an "Updating..." message.
In the same folder as otacerts.zip there was also an "otacerts" folder, which I also removed and this stopped the "Updating...." message.
Excellent, I thought except when I went to Re-Register the device, I get a "No Network Connection" error message which requests that I connect to a wireless network - except that the device IS connected and I can browse the internet quite happily.
Everything I have tried since then has failed to get rid of this error - even multiple Factory Resets have not cured it - and an hour chatting to one of their Tech Bods couldn't resolve it either.
I have tried downloading the latest update from Amazon but, as it is the same version as on my device, it does nothing.
I thought if I re-instated the otacerts stuff it might cure the problem - except during the many updates it seems to have been dumped as I can no longer find the files on my device.
I guess the bottom line is that I don't have to register with Amazon to get my device working, I have purchased a number of items from them and these will not reinstall if I cannot register the device.
So, here's my question: Can anyone help me please?
If you have a local copy of otacerts.zip that you can let me have (I have scoured Google trying to find a downloadable without success), I can try re-installing that and see if it corrects the error.
Failing that, does anyone know how to force a KFHD to do an "update" to the same software version - or can the software be rolled back and then re-updated?
Any help/advice/suggestions would be gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.

Just restore a older system image from kindle fire first aid, that should do the trick, it will even put it into fastboot for you so it can do this, though I can't seem to remember if it tries to do it via adb or fastboot itself, so if it doesn't want to boot into fastboot via the default way in the script u have to simply use adb and run: adb shell "su -c 'reboot bootloader'". Sorry if that was a bit of excess info, just covering my bases. You also may need the driver in my signature once its in fastboot, but I'm leaning towards probably not since the USB debugging was previously on so you already have adb drivers installed.
On another note should something bizarre happen and you get stuck in a bootloop from this, you'll need a fastboot cable to get back into fastboot to fix.

[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.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD using Tapatalk

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.

kindle can't connect to computer

I flashed a rom not compatible with my device and it bricked it. I later got a fast boot cable and after some research tried to fix it but just made it worse. When I connect it to the the computer it gose to the kindle logo to the fast boot logo to a black screen on the fast boot logo it connects to the computer but then at the dark screen it deconnects. Can someone please help me fix this?

OK so it will briefly go into fastboot mode and is detected by the PC in fastboot mode but then keeps rebooting? I can only assume something is messed JP with either the boot.IMG or bootloader, the good news is it might be fixable, the bad news is if what I want to recommend doing fails you could be left with a hard brick depending on what you flash. I suggest using Ubuntu 13.10 since I thinks its got a faster response time and no issues like installing the fastboot driver when the device is only briefly showing up (as opposed to windows). Then after installing the android-tools-fastboot package from apt or w/e I would recommend attempting to just flash the bootimg of a ROM meant for your ROM, like the freedom boot image or a cm boot.IMG. if you can get it to say flash success full after plugging it in when it says waiting for device, you may have some good results. Since this occurred after a ROM flash attempt I'm thinking this is more likely the bootimg rather than the bootloader. As a test run you could try "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and see if you can get it to respond. Bootimg bricks are a bit foreign to me, I've heard people say they have hard bricked kindles with bad bootimg's, but that confused me all the note since the bootloader loads either fastboot or the boot.IMG, not to mention I built a ROM and in the testing stages had issues making a suitable bootimg for the kindle and it just made the kindle pop into fastboot mode.

OK I' assuming that at this point you never see the blue logo when you try to boot normally. Go grab copy of system restore tool for your kindle and stick it on a flash drive if you have one, we only need the bootimg it includes. Go grab a Ubuntu 13.10 live CD and either burn it to CD or make a bootable usb. Now boot into Ubuntu live os and copy the boot.img from SRT to the desktop. Now launch a terminal and run these commands:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
cd Desktop
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
At this point you should be able to plug the kindle in with a fastboot cable when it says waiting for device and see if fastboot will successfully flash the boot partition.
I hope this will fix it, normally such behavior would make me think that the bootloader needs reflashing but a ROM flash shouldn't have touched the bootloader itself so I'm inclined to think its a bad boot image. Also not positive if that apt-get command has the correct package name, I don't have my laptop booted into Linux right now so I can't check, if it says something like "package not found" then tell me and I will look it up, might also be in a repo that's not defaultly enabled on Ubuntu.
Yay I retyped this post, if it doesn't post again I'm going to throw this kindle...

Checked on Ubuntu package list and the name was that, still haven't been in Linux to verify it.
Heres the tool, if your on a 7" then this should be what i was talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
I will have to check what repo that package is from, because I remember Ubuntu doesn't always have all the default repos enabled, might have to enable it in the manager, would be simpler if it came with synaptic still...

Thank you soon much I will definitely try it out. What is a repo package though and how do I install it to read the command for the fast boot download.

OK put simply ubuntu uses a very nice package management system called apt, it basically connects to repositories set in a file that have tons of precompiled programs and such for that specific version of Ubuntu or more broadly Linux. It retrieves some manifest of all the packages in each repo, each package has a specific name. If you want to use a better interface try typing this, "sudo apt-get install synaptic" then run "sudo synaptic" and you can search for fastboot in the nice visual package manager. Sorry I haven't been in Linux, I have left Firefox running with a form for a job application up waiting for some info I need and I don't want to reboot and have to fill it out again. I will boot my desktop up into Linux tomorrow if I can, I may be going out to do something though.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD using Tapatalk

ok i finally rebooted into linux, it turns out teh package is indeed called android-tools-fastboot, so that being the case open up the settings app and click software and updates and everything on the first tab under downloadable from internet should be checked with the slight exception of source code which for me has a line through it when you try to check it off, it should as k you to reload, you can do that or run "sudo apt-get update" again. As long as this is the 13.10 version of ubuntu then it should have that in the repos, i don't think it was in the repos before 13.10.

Thank you so much, what you said worked with my friends kindle who had kinda the same thing happen but the problem with mine is that it can't stay connected to the computer. It connects but then unconnected like 2 seconds after and it can't stay connected or I could fix it . Any suggestions?

Pray that what you did works on his, though I would ask what did he do that made his do that? Because if you can get it into fastboot even briefly, as long as the PC has the fastboot command already running so it says "waiting for device" it should attempt it. Depending on what he did is oukd recommend what I told you, its either the bootloader or the boot image, I don't go for bootloader unless I have to because an incomplete flash on that would be far worse, though the bootloader is quite a bit smaller than the bootimg last I checked so it would take less time to flash. Also is his also the 7” HD?

My friend booted into recovery and it bricked it to the logo but what you said worked. With mine my family's getting a new computer so when when we do I will definitely try it out and let you know how it works. And again thank you so o much.

Very good news, what you said worked, my kindle fully connected to the computer in fast boot mode. I was able to install the abd composite drivers to my kindle and it runs fast boot commands. IT is stuck on the fast boot symbol and was wondering if you had a way to reset the kindle, a factory reset that wipes it clean or anything that would make the device work again. Thank you for all your help so far, it is greatly appreciated.

ok well in either situation your going to need a fastboot cable/adapter, i recommend getting the blackhat adapter mentioned in hashcodes 2nd bootloader + twrp tutorial. Now for the other thing i need to know, is this a 2012 or 2013 model? (2013 has no front facing camera)

It does have a front facing camera. Can you give me a link? First time looking in the Kindle fire section.

Ok lemme grab 2 links you will need.
The thread i was talking about it this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
I personally recommend a custom rom over amazon os so that tutorial could be useful to you in the future should you decide to flash a custom rom on it. There's a link towards the top that goes to the site where you get the fastboot adapter.
Alright and secondly you will need this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
Read its instructions or you might have issues. Also when you plug in your kindle with the fastboot adapter it will show up as a tate device in the device manager, download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere on your computer, then in the device manager right click the tate device and hit update drivers and choose a place to search for them and choose where you extracted my drivers and it should install the drivers. If you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first though. Once drivers are working you should be able to restore with kffa.

well i ordered the fastboot adapter and it does go into fastboot mode but i have tried a few utilities and they all seem to blow right threw the process. its like it seeing the phone but not doing anything. the only thing i can think of is USB debugging was not turned on and that may be why i cant get it to act right. of course i cant turn it on cause i'm stuck at the logo so is there a way around that or is there a program like Samsung has called Odin that i can use to flash stock everything on?

Nonono. Adb has nothing to do with fastboot. Adb commands can't even be used with fastboot, only fastboot commands can. Try opening a command prompt that's cd'd into a directory with fastboot in it (kffa or SRT) and run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", if it reports back something then we can establish that fastboot is atleast working.

Kffa was one of the links I sent you.... download and extract it. Shift + right click it's folder and hit New command window here. Then run that command I mentioned.

i did what you said and at first i didn't but eventually got the command you told me to put in to recognize and read something tate in the command window but i did not see tate in device manager and the utilities still blows though really fast and dont work. im on vista so do you think that is the problem? this is really pissing me off that i cant get this figured out. im about to uninstall everything and delete everthing and start over.

well the good news is that means fastboot is working, it only is called a tate device in the device manager initially, once you isntall th edrivers it will show up a s a adb interface which is confusing becuase you don't use adb with fastboot. Anyways you should be able to attempt manualyl flashing the device from that command prompt now using certain commands like
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash <partition name> imagename
so something like
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img
it could be that kffa failed to retreive the files or something so it dint flash, sometimes its download links don't work, try srt i think linear posted the link to it, it might actually work out of the box.
