[Q] Unbrick Kindle Fire HD with Rekindle-0.1

Can the Kindle Fire HD be unbricked using Rekindle-01, if so where do i short out the USB on the motherboard as the pics online do not help as they are for the Kindle Fire motherboard

what's the issue??? Does anything happen when you press the power button? Plus you might need a factory cable to get it working again.

I rooted the Kindle Fire HD with KFU 0.9.6, all went okay until it tried rebooting into recovery as part of the process and it hasn't turned on since ie nothing comes on the screen.
I have a Factory Cable but that isn't putting Kindle into Fastboot, ADB isn't seeing the device so am now trying via Rekindle via Ubuntu/Linux, this requires the USB to be shorted out to jump start the port but i don't know which connection on the motherboard to short out as the only pic online is for the KF not KFHD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405052
I believe it should only be soft bricked but can get no response from it so any help would be great.
The Kindle Fire Unbricker is useless, it even tells me my Kindle is now unbricked even when it is not plugged in. My ADB drivers are fine and i even had the SDK installed with all various drivers it brings to the party.
Sorry if i sound such a noob but i have done various PSP's, Wii's, iTouch, fixed Laptops etc but this has me totally screwed

First of all the tools/utilities you are using are for first gen KF, so that is why it bricked your device and why the other does not work. You need to flash a backup through fastboot. As for getting into fastboot , which device do you have? 7 or 8.9? On 7" power off the device, plug into pc with factory cable. If you have 8.9 you have to power off, use a fastboot cmd then power on while pc is waiting for device. Look in the development section, it has all the info you need to unbrick. Do not try the tools you mentioned, there is no need to open the device up to do any of this.

A similar thing happened to me.
I have a factory cable that I got from [2012androidfans on ebay]. It doesn't seem to do anything. I get no response from the Kindle Fire HD. Windows detects nothing.
(I installed a bootloader meant for a first gen kindle. I was blindly following a guide to update android and wasn't thinking what I was doing. Restarted the Kindle HD 7". Nothing.)

Well, Add me to the list. This is the first device I have actually ever bricked. I already had the KFU utility installed and accidentally ran the wrong batch file Im thinking it overwrote the factory boot/recovery partitions. I have a factory cable and its not showing anything under device manager upon plugging it in. Ive held the power down for 30 seconds, then plugged it in, but nothing shows. The sucky part is that its not mine, its a coworkers...... frustrating. Is there a way to fix it at this point?
Edit,
Its an HD 8.9 Inch

FatedBoot,
The utility Rekindle is design for the original Kindle only. If you are looking to restore you Kindle HD 7, Kindle HD 8.9 or the Kindle 2 you may use our utility that takes about 3 to 5 minutes to restore the Kindle. Here is a link to Kindle Fire First Aide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
If you would like information about making your own Factory USB Cable, the information can be found here on Post Number 164: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37187390&postcount=164
This pictures to solder the board are for the original Kindle not the new Kindles. Finally, you do NOT want to solder the board on these models since every time you plug in to change the device, it will boot into Fastboot.
We have full site and phone support, so if you find yourself stuck, just post a question or if you have a serious problem, give us a call.

pyraxiate,
Sounds like you are well versed in this topic. You are correct, the boot and recovery partitions need to be recovered.
You have several choices to recover the device, you may use onemeila tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126
OR
Our tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
They both accomplish the same task in the end. There are known Bootloader issues with the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" so if you find yourself in an endless boot-loop, read our posts on how to recover the loop. Our tool automated the Boot-loop recovery. You will receive solid support on either tool.

I bricked the kindle fire hd 7in while trying to flash the newest android to it (used wrong bootloader). Anyway, when I start the kindle, it shows the first white/orange kindle fire logo, then it crashes to a black screen. When I plug in the factory cable, it shows the kindle fire logo and then goes to a logo that actually says "fastboot" with "kindle fire" under that, but then nothing happens. The device is not recognized by adb, but it has before, because i rooted it earlier. I can't get any unbricking utilities to work because the computer won't recognize it. How do I get my kindle to be recognized so that I can at least restore it?

Well you apparently didn't succeed in flashing the bootloader. It seems like you just installed an unsigned kernel so you are in better shape than most. Try Onemelia's system restore tool to see if that works. If not, you may have to restore the stock recovery as well.

I literally just solved this problem yesterday, you need to first plug your your factory cable into the pc using a working Kindle. That way the necessary driver, not the amazon adb driver, can be installed. Then plug it into your broken Kindle, it should now boot into fastboot.

No it shows up as

for a few seconds when I plug in the factory cable.
But how to go on from that point?

If you are dealing with a kf2 or higher then don't bother doing this as it won't work. We would need a aboot signed by amazon and we dont have it, without that we can't repair ours kindles this way, this only works on kf1. Though there is a method that you can recover a hard bricked kindle from involving soldering a usb sdcard reader to the emmc of a kindle. Btw plz start a thread next time, this was a big bump.

[Q] Bricked Kindle Fire HD 7" and PC cannot recognize device

I ordered a Kindle Fire HD 7" from Amazon few days ago. I rooted it by using Qemu tool then I did something wrong in /system/app. After rebooting, I cannot turn on my Kindle and its stuck on the kindle fire screen (Kindle Fire logo appears for a minute then it disappears).
I used a factory cable and put the kindle to fastboot successfully, but the problem is PC doesn't recognize it (windows said "unknown device"). I tried many methods in xda forum but they didn't work anyway. I reinstalled many time and tried in win 32, win 64 bit and even in linux but it still doesn't work.
Are there any solution for me? please help!
I was wondering if Amazon could replace it under warranty ? is it possible?

I thought I read you only use fast boot cable to get into fast boot, then normal cable to do the rest. See if that helps if not u can always try forcing the driver but idk if that's the best idea since it is saying unknown device instead of driver not found for kindle adb device or something like that.

I used fastboot cable to get into fastboot mode and then change to normal cable at you said, but the same situation -- Unknown device and device not found. Please see attached figure.
I also tried to forcing the driver many times and it still doesn't work at I said before.

I am going to say this now, windows 8 doesn't always work to well with us doing things to droid devices, or at least kindles, mainly because of drivers. Don't know if that's the case here because that device I don't think i have the right info, post the info on the details tab when u choose hardware id's from the drop down menu.
Also adb commands don't work in fast boot mode, a command u would want to try is fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
It should return something about Tate.

Ps: I read somewhere that it may work if the battery battery drain out, so i am waiting to try this method.

One more thing, the error code show up in device manager is code 43

I've just borrowed an unrooted KF HD 7 from my friend and tried to connect to PC with normal and factory cable. It worked perfectly with no problem in both cables. So I think there is nothing wrong with the driver on PC.
Is my KF hard bricked and no way to restore it anymore

I don't know if its hard bricked, I still need the screen shot or just the text will do of what's in the device manager on that unknown device's details tab under the hardware id's choice on the drop down menu. If I recognize the vid in the details then I may be able to help.

I installed Xposed Installer and rebooted and now:
Now my pc
Is not recognizing with adb
In device manager it shows that it is a portable device.
Take a look at the photo.
I do not have a factor cable either
I have chameleon rom
I can get to the lockscreen but no further than that

If you have a ROM installed then it should be a easy fix, reboot into recovery and remove the exposed framework from an adb shell, if an adb device is not present in the device manager while in recovery but a portable device is, uninstall it and let it search for new devices and it should pick it up.

Take a look at this

Recovery = turn device off, turn on, hold down volume up as soon as you see orange kf logo, keep holding it even once it turns blue, should eventually say twrp, let go of button. Hope that helps.

I attempted to use TWRP to reset the device and once it rebooted, the orange KINDLE FIRE HD screen will appear for a second, then the screen goes black, the the image appears again and then then screen goes black without end. Hard reset doesn't work. I tried pushing adb commands through but i get "waiting on device" and nothing else. Device manager doesn't recognize device either, it doesn't even appear on the device manager when I plug it in. Any ideas? I know I'm out. Based on other threads, I don't think that the factory cable will work either, although I don't currently have one even if it would. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can explain me how to install your drivers please?

OK if I understand this correctly, I'm assuming if you open the device manager , there is a device called something like "tate-pvt" probably with an triangle next to it. Right click it and hit update driver, tell it to search the folder you extracted my driver to, it should install them from there. On another note, after you use the fastboot cable to put your device into fastboot, make sure you switch back to using a normal cable once the kindle says "fastboot" on the screen.

I've done everything you've told me and nothing. When I install the driver from the device manager tells me the driver is updated and if I put normal cable after entering fastboot mode.

So what exactly is it doing now, or what is saying unknown device, you should be able to see if its working by running the fastboot command like this ”fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", it should report something back, if it does your ready to fix your kindle, otherwise if it hangs on waiting for device, something weird might be going on that needs more looking into.

The first method works... You just have to put the ROM and corresponding gapps onto your sdcard before hand or it will be stuck boot looping into twrp. If it doesn't automatically go into twrp but you still have the blue logo, just hold power up when you power the kindle on while the logo is orange and usually by the time it turns blue you can let go and it will go into twrp.

The first method doesn't work man. The blue logo never comes up just boot loops the kindle fire logo. I download FireFlash and move the freedom img and twrp onto my kindle sd and plug it right into fireflash and reboot, then it just boot loops.

Yea, the method works as you can see. Try removing the old driver and let windows find the new one.

Yeah the old driver was Kindle. So I uninstalled it and now it comes up as MTP USB DEVICE after I select Media Device from USB computer connections on the tablet. Still not recognized in my computer... sigh. I want it to appear as a Mass storage device so I can transfer files. On Linux I get Unable to open MTP device '[usb:001,001]' when trying to open it.d

Now when I boot into TWRP, device manager shows Kindle Fire -> Android Composite ADB Interface but still doesnt appear in My Computer.

Android composite isn't meant for browsing, its meant for using adb commands. If you uninstalled the MTP device on windows and let it search for a new driver when u refresh devices, it should be viewable, also what distro and version of Linux are you on, because some handle mtp better than others.

Kindle Fire HD 7" Total Brick

Got a Red screen on my kindle fire hd 7", anyone know where I can get a genuine factory cable as I have heard of people ordering one only to find it is just an ordinary cable and not a factory cable, I am in the uk (Scotland)...
PS now total brick...

If you have a Samsung cable you can build one... It has the pins to short together..

I also had Red Screen on my KFHD 7" and need some help. I made a factory cable today and when I plug it in it goes to Fastboot screen. I running Win7 64 and have installed Java SDK and Android SDK and I also installed adb usb drivers from Kindle Fire Utility. However device manager shows it under Other Devices as Tate-PVT-08 and when running KF SRT it just shows "waiting for device" and never changes. I have verified that adb_usb.ini has 0x1949. I've been at this for some time now and I don't know what else to try. I think it may be permanently bricked. I appreciate any suggestions.

SUCCESS! I was finally able to fix my RSOD. Here is what I did.
1. Opened up Android Studio and SDK Manager.
2. Selected Tools and Manage Add-on Sites.
3 Select User Defined Sites tab and click New and enter.... Sorry, I'm a new user and not allowed to post URL's yet. Search for "Amazon Setting Up Your Development Environment" and url will be under "Installing the Amazon Fire TV SDK Add-on" section.
4. Then scroll down in Manager window and expand Extras then select and install Amazon Kindle Fire USB Driver packages.
5. Connect Kindle with factory cable and open Device Manager, right click on Tate-PVT-08 and select Update Driver.
6. Browse Computer for driver, and select Let Me Pick..., then scroll down and you should now have Kindle Driver available (I didn't have this before).
7. Select Android Composite ADB Interface.
8. Run SR Tool and I had to first select 1 to Restore-Factory Rooted with SuperSU.apk, kept fingers crossed and it finished. (But still had RSOD)
9. Then ran SR Tool again and select 3 for Restore-Factory Recover.
10. Disconnect and cycle power to Kindle and was prompted with a screen saying there was a booting problem and had to Reset to Factory defaults. After that it booted up as new!!!
