I have a rooted kindle fire hd 7"
I switched the Kindle Launcher from a system app to a user app in Titanium Backup Pro which caused the android to freeze.
After powering off the Kindle it will no longer boot or make connection to the PC. It is stuck on the kindle fire screen.
What do I need to do to fix this?
U will need a fastboot cable to fix it. Once you hook one up u need to flash the system image, using either kffa or the kfhd system restore utility. Unless of course u had twrp installed first, then it would be really easy to fix.

I ordered the fastboot cable table.
Once I get the cable I connect the Kindle to my pc using the cable and then what? Do I launch KFFA on my pc at that time?
Also, what is this twrp that I keep reading about?
Plug your kindle into fastboot cable, then after your kindle displays "fastboot", plug your normal cable back into your PC, make sure the drivers install or fastboot command won't work. After that either use kffa or kfhd restore tool. I don't know much about kffa because I haven't ever had to use it. If u use kfhd restore tool, ignore the command on step 2.
Oh and as to twrp, its a recovery u can install over the stock kindle fire recovery that is pretty useless. It allows us to flash custom ROMs, and u can modify a few things in the filesystem like moving that file back to where it belongs and setting its permissions. You should be fine if you Install it after you fix this, just make sure you read its instructions and fellow them to a tee or you will get a red screen on boot and have to use your fastboot cable to restore the boot loader. I recommend using seokhuns tutorial in the android development section.

I just wanted to say thanks.
I received my fastboot cable from SkOrPn and followed the directions in this thread to use kfhd to restore the kindle to its factory image.
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.

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.

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.

Good to heart. You'll love CM 10.2. Works real well.
I have tried restoring with Kindle Fire First Aid, which didn't work. I am unsure what to do and was wondering if someone could help me.
Exactly what was the error kffa had?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
It had no error, it acted like it worked but was still in fastboot mode.
I would try it again, did you do a system restore to one of the older versions listed or restored to a backup? If that stills doesn't work I would try the kindle fire system restore tool. It's in the android development section I believe.

That doesn't work either.
What exactly happens, because I need to know if its flashing successfully, if it is maybe you have a different kindle than the image you are trying to flash, that would explain why it still isn't booting. When you put it in fastboot, CD into the directory of either kfhdsrt or kffa, and run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and tell me what it outputs.

Tate-PVT-08, also it says like finished, it doesn't give any error after it finishes.
And I appreciate you helping me, if you help me get it working I will gladly tip you a few bucks if you'll like.
Does it boot into fastboot without you doing anything?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
Yea. When it turns on it goes right to fastboot.
OK I think I took the wrong approach, your problem might be simpler than I thought it to be. Type "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot". I'm thinking the idme got set to boot loader if I think I know what I'm talking about.

Have you tried pulling the USB connection as quickly as possible when the screen goes black after issuing the command? I do that with my fastboot cable and it's what I like to do

ok after hearing that a simple fastboot reboot won't work i am pretty sure your idme got set to bootloader, try issuing this command: fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1

I get that
Reread my post, I initially put the wrong number then changed it like 5 minutes later.

i'm having the same problem too.. i tried following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 to flash TWRP and then hopefully a ROM. After running the FireFlash app and rebooting the kindle it was stuck at the Kindle boot logo. i powered it off and later that night i tried turning it on and this time it boot into TWRP which was great but i made the mistake of not copying the rom file to the kindle before rebooting the first time so now rom to flash in recovery and the use mount feature int TWRP didn't work (couldn't pick up the kindle when connect to the computer) i then power it off again and the next day i tried to turn it on again and give it another try and this time it boots to Fastboot mode instead and thats were i am not. IDK how come it keeps changing
Edit.. ok now i got fastboot to work. i tried flashing TWRP recovery with fastboot. it looks like it works but when i reboot it goes back to fastboot mood. even if i hold down the volume up and power it still goes to fastboot mode..
Hello,
I've been working on a KF that was previously rooted - and now will only boot to this screen:
Attached - BootScreen
I was able to previously access TWRP, but now after trying to wipe the kindle, it will no longer boot to that.
When accessing the KF via a fastboot cable, this is how the device is recognized:
Attached - Driver
Running options in KFU, I receive:
Attached - KFU
I've had the most luck with the "KINDLE FIRE HD System.img Recovery Tool"
Attached - SystemImage
It allows me to remotely reboot my kindle, and says that it successfully writes a new image on the device(downloaded a fresh blank one) but the KF will boot to the yellow triangle screen every time thereafter regardless.
Any other suggestions on what I could do?
Try this:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

Safin,
Thank-you for your reply. Were you suggesting typing that snippet into the KFU console?
Did you use option 3 to restore the factory recovery? That should fix your issue. This is a Kindle fire HD right? Not a Kindle fire 2.

You have an original Kindle Fire 8GB. Don't use any utility unless for a Kindle Fire or you will hard brick your tablet.

Don't use the fastboot cord, your stuck in fastboot. That's what that yellow triangle is. Use your USB cord and read up a bit, you should be able to recover just fine. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037513

Kindle Fire HD 7'' Red Screen
Hello, I came here to see if I can get some help with fixing my KFHD. The problem is, everytime I boot it, it shows a red screen and I have a fastboot cable so any assistance will be great.
hey mate. I have exactly the same problem. .did you solve it?

Red screen I believe is a mismatched boot loader issue best I recall, I think using the fast boot cable and a restore utility is the quick fix.
