[Q] Kindle Fire HD - Stuck at system recovery after changing font ( ROOTed)

Used this app to change my font and now my Kindle wont boot or recover itself.
I changed the font using this app: " Font Changer (root) " ( look it up in the play store since I can't post the link please ) and when I tried to re-boot, it wouldn't come on. Not able to get it to boot after the Reset to factory defaults and it will not boot with reboot option. Tried using google, but keeps dirrecting me to OG fire threads, and nothing for the HD.
It isn't seen by my laptop anymore either

How can I do this if I cannot power-off the device, and the laptop doesn't recognize it anymore? I'm really sorry to be such a pain in the ass, I've jsut never ran into this problem before and I need alittle spoon-feeding.
- Should I let its battery die so it will turn off?
-> Was able to get it powered off, but it won't fastboot. Just keeps taking me to the system recovery screen. I'm turning the kindle off, plugging the cable into to kindle and then into my laptop. it turns on, but boots into the system recovery.

For fastboot use a factory cable.

No a factory cable is a special cable that is used only to get the device into fastboot. It needs to be powered off and when you plug in the factory cable it will t to a screen take you to a screen that says [Fastboot Kindle Fire], then you will need to do a restore. Check out the links below:

[Q] Kindle HD, stuck on Kindle Fire log

Hi all,
Kindle fire HD ( rooted) got OTA update and after the update its stuck on the Kindlefire logo screen. Tired resetting it by pressing 20sec / also tried 30 sec but no joy. Also tried pressing the volume Up and power but its stuck on the kindlefire log.
Tried to run recovery (KFFA) but my laptop does not detect kindle fire at all. I guess factory cable is the last option but I dont have it and need to order one . But I was wondering if Amazon could replace it under warranty ?
Cheers

Of course your computer won't detect it, ADB requires both devices to be fully-booted and can communicate. Use your regular cable to boot into fastboot and restore. Read my thread in my signature, #6 & #7.

Thanks for the reply, I will try to follow your post #6 & #7.
I am still confused, I had only rooted Kindle and got google play installed and it was working fine. It seems that there was OTA firmware upgrade and after that upgrade when the device rebooted its stuck on the kindle fire screen.
Appreciate your reply.
Cheers

I dont know what is going on ? Android SDK is installed and even ADB is working but somehow my laptop does not detect the Kindle. It is just stuck on waiting for device.... ?
Getting error on step 2 Qemutool.bat ?
Step 2 - Exploiting...
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /data/local.prop: Permission denied
Rebooting...
Once your devices has finished restarting,
Press any key to continue . . .
Pls help.

Solutions
1. What root tool did you use? A: if it was bin4ry type in notepad 0x1949 and save it to .android under users/Your User/.android
Like for me it would be users/chris/.android and you would save it to .android dir. if you dont have an .android dir. make one. Then see if your device is reconized as android composite adb device or at least kindle. Also try installing drivers for the kindle and uninstall the drivers and reinstalling them
2. I had a similar problem i rooted my kfhd and it became so slow it wouldnt turn on eventully after 30min. it turned on but was so slow when i sided to unlock it took five minutes. I also i tried rerooting without unroot. it worked so i used binary's root like i was unrooted and my kindle was back again. it turned out when i rooted i only had 50% battery and you NEED to have at least 90%. this also fixed any audio issues.
3. your original kf cord that came when shipped maybe shot and you may need a new one if it wont charge like someone else said "android devices need at least 20% battery to turn on". i dont find this to be true i need at least 5% but find a new cord and charge it seee if it works then.
4. if it turns on the the kindle fire logo flashes quicker then you can boot into recovery. the recovery screen should be a red warning sign saying reboot or restore click restore.
5. with a home made factory cord try booting into recovery mode and follow solution (4).
6. what root apps did you have on the device fire flash? A: fire flash will not work with the new 7.4.1 ota update
Let me know from there if you get your kindle working if no i can supply more solutions based on your answers and the reactions from my solutions.
I can also supply drivers and root tools

Dude, no offense meant really, but posting this big long thing everywhere isn't really helping anybody.....
If your kindle is stuck, you'll need a factory cable. You need to be able to get to fast boot so you can use the Kindle SRT tool, that allows you to flash a clean ROM to your device through fast boot.

Sorry...

Sorry, didn't mean anything anything bad by that, I just found it's always easier to try the simple things first one by one and not overload with info because the problem usually is just something simple. I wasn't saying that you shouldn't try to help, that's what we should do as a community, just that we should take it one step at a time with simple items first. Again didn't mean anything bad, hope you weren't offended

It's okay, so the problem is solved? Also, ipsearch make sure you look on the forms for your problem because, other people may have the same problem and it might already be solved no offense.

HI, yes i've tried charging the kindle using my laptop. Well, the battery is drained. And it charges for quite sometime and then when it gets enough charge, it opens by itself. I cannot hold the power button for it will shut down and wont push thru charging. HEnce when I leave it charging, like I said it would open on its own then eventually shut down on its own again. At this part, I dont know if it still charges. Tried leaving it overnight too but still wont open. As for the factory cable, I dnt know where I could get it. I am from the Philippines. And how do I get that recovery tool? Thanks

[Q] freezing launcher.apk problem

I haven't found any other thread where someone admitted to doing something this dumb. Was set to install Go Launcher on KFHD, thought i had copied it to device. Used ROM Toolbox Pro to freeze stock launcher.apk. Started having problems navigating on KFHD when going to flash go launcher (I know I should have done that first, especially now). Rebooted without thinking about not having a launcher. Now it wont boot into anything usable. Win 7 pc cant find it thru USB even when I was going to try to copy the stock launcher over somewhere. Running stock ROM. Can't boot up into any kind of recovery mode. Willing to do factory reset but can't figure that out from where i'm stuck either.
Any ideas on how to either recover to stock or unfreeze stock launcher w/out access to any launcher? Any and all help is appreciated.
UPDATED: I have just ordered SkOrPn's Factory Cable (as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20380015&postcount=9) in case that is part of anyone's solution.

Its is part of the solution, u just need to reflash the system image from kindle fire first aid in fastboot mode.

No way to bring up a recovery screen using the power and vol buttons, huh?
When i reboot w/ this cable it should be detected as usable by Win7, right?

If it can't find drivers for it use the ones in my signature, also stock recovery is useless, u can't get into it from a key combo, only if certain circumstances happen do u even get into it, and all it allows u to do is factory reset which typically is pointless and just wipes your data.
Another thing to mention, just plug the fastboot cable in until your kindle displays "fastboot" on the screen, once that happens switch back to using a normal cable.

10-4. I've got the right drivers, was blowing things out and in pretty well until I screwed up the launcher. Thanks!

SUCCESS!
Device went into fastboot immediately when using skorpn's factory cable, but couldn't get my kindle recognized by Win7 to use adb. Installed drivers from 3 or 4 different sources with no luck, but sparkym3's did the trick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838). Ran onemeila's restore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254) from the img with built-in Apex launcher, and voila!

[Q] Kindle won't boot after twrp recovery

I just got my kindle and didn't like the kindle fire hd os so i tryed to get it to an android os. I followed this guys video and it worked so far until i got the the twrp recovery. i did the command fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot and it shut down but never rebooted. Plz help!!!

More details please, though I'm guessing based on what happened you flashed the wrong bootloader in fastboot then rebooted. If that's the case it is hard bricked. But more details will be helpful to diagnose this to make sure, like what commands you ran or what exactly you did.

here are some more details:
-I was watching a video on how to change the os on the kindle fire hd 8.9 inch and I thought it would work on kindle fire hd 7" and everything did work even the fastboot or something like that pooped on the screen while i was doing some commands. Then when i did the command for the fastboot reboot it turned of and never came on. I tried many ways of getting it back on like holding the power button for 20 seconds and then trying to turn it back on. Then i thought it might still be running so I thought that maybe leaving it without a charge for a while would do it and so far nothing. I started this yesterday and yesterday was when it stopped working. Still haven't charged it yet. Also is there anyway for my kindle to be restored and back to normal with that kind of hard brick. (i am a noob at this ) Thx for your response!

You hard bricked you're tablet. There is no recovery for this at this time. The ROM's are specific for the model and firmware.

ok well, i was researching about a factory cable for hard bricked kindles. I was wondering if that would work at all? I don't mind if i get my apps or books back as long as it get working again.
Also thanks for your help!

The factory cables help with soft bricked Kindle's. You can get a cord and try it if you want. Flahing a Jem to a Tate is almost a sure hard brick. If you plug your tablet via USB into your PC, look in the device drivers area on your PC, do you see "OMAP" anywhere?

Do you mean device manager, if so i don't see that there, and hard brick means its dead and ill have to buy a new one right?

If its still under warranty just send it in to amazon and tell them it won't turn on, that by itself should get you a free replacement.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 7 (Tate) bricked, can't enter Fastboot

Whilst attempting to flash CM11, I ran into problems. Twrp was installed and successfully booted into recovery, but CM11 wouldn't boot, I kept getting the KF bootlogo.
In trying to fix it, I erased the boot and bootloader img files, but accidentally pulled the fastboot cable before I could reflash them.
The device now won't boot, even using the fastboot cable. I've tried holding the power switch for up to 2 minutes but nothing.
Is the device beyond saving?
thanks

Does the screen even turn on?

If it doesn't even turn on,I'm afraid it's hard-bricked.

thanks for your reply safinwasi, what does it mean though, is it totally beyond repair? I read about opening the case and shorting something out but think it was for a different model and the instructions seemed incomplete.
can anything be replaced to restore it?

just bumping this to see if there is anything that can be done with this device

If you have a steady hand, a soldering iron, and a USB sdcard reader, then it is salvageable.
