i have same issue, red screen on boot. I got fastboot cable and installed tool and image. Now after selecting option 1 it just sits on < waiting for device >
if i run as administrator it says 'fastboot' is not recognized
it also seems the drivers aren't getting fully installed/updated

With fast boot cable plugged in go into device manager and delete your kindle drivers then unplug it and plug it back in, if not all drivers install you need to find them they are all over these threads. You simply have a driver issue. Your kindle is more than recoverable, after your drivers are working run first aid

Hi,
I am new to this and need advice. I tried rooting my KFHD 7" using KFU 0.9.6 and all seemed to be going well until it said it was trying to boot into Recovery mode. The Kindle did not reboot after about 20 minutes and has not turned on since. I have tried various ways to unbrick such as Kindle Fire Unbricker v1.1 but this will not work as the PC does not detect the Kindle. I also have a Factory cable which i understood would put the Kindle into Fastboot and aid me in unbricking but still nothing. Any help would be appreciated, thank-you
Kfu is for the non he models you will most likely need a factory cable to fix

Shawnsch thanks for your response, I have the 'Factory Cable' but my PC on Windows 7 won't detect the Kindle, any idea on how to get it to detect would be appreciated then I can look at further fixes for the device.
I believe he mean the fast boot cable, this one is different than the factory cable. You use the tutorial on how to restore system software, and than your fixed.

Yes a fastboot cable also referred to as a factory cable in the fourms

Hi, i used a Fastboot/Factory cable to root the Kindle Fire HD but it didn't reboot after rooting and now the PC will not find my Kindle whether i use the Fastboot/Factory cable or a standard cable and either the SDK or ADB........ I am getting the feeling that this will not be fixable
I don't believe that you actually used a factory cable. A factory cable is not a normal using cord' it's not the one the kindle came with. A factory cable is a modified cable that boots the kindle into fastball as soon as it is plugged in. I will try to get you a link to the guy I got mine from

I installed an app I believe was called Device Spoofer so I could try and use the Google Play Store without getting those incompatible device errors. I selected a device to spoof and rebooted the device and now it is stuck at the boot splash screen. I am guessing I bricked the device but was wondering if there is a method I can use to unbrick it.

Yes and no what does your computer say when the kindle is plugged in via usb

I went and bought a factory cable so I could get it in fastboot mode, so when I plug it in it shows an orange diagonal wording of Fastboot with Kindle Fire under it in smaller letters. But I am unable to detect the device in ADB or Fastboot.
ok nevermind. after extensive research and the use of that awesome kindle fire aide kit i have fixed it.

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.

Hi,
I am using Desire C for more than a year, and i have been using customs ROMs starting with Nameless. Recently I flashed NOPE Kernel, and installed Simplicity ROM, 4.1.2. After that i am not able to flash the boot image again. It is connecting properly when in connect to the system, but once i get into Bootloader mode, suddenly i get a message "Device not recognized", and i cannot connect anymore. I tried installing and re-installing all kinds of drivers available for Desire C and HTC, but no luck. Can anyone help on this issue... Please.....
Weirdness. What commands did you try? Type adb devices in CMD and if numbers come up then it is connected

When it is in Boot loader mode, I don't get any number, tried adb devices, result was device not found. Once I'm in bootloader, none of the adb commands works. Not even reboot command.

It is supposed to say FASTBOOT USB. From the bootloader screen, select the fastboot option using your volume and power buttons.

Tried re-installing all the drivers... Checked out some forums, and downloaded HTC Drivers, installed, still not working...
When it reboots into BOOTLOADER, it doesn't show FASTBOOT USB, but when move up and down using volume keys, it shows FASTBOOT USB. Not returning anything for FASTBOOT DEVICES. Tried to flash, showing "waiting for device"... and after sometime, got the error "windows did not recognize the usb device"...
I have a flashable boot image zip file for HTC Explorer, tried changing the boot image, and flashed. No error message then, but still shows the old one itself....
So, can anyone help me by creating a flashable boot zip... I really need to change NOPE kernel...

Did You check Your USB cable? It could be that it is failing...
Other than that, connect your phone in fastboot mode, wait until error pops up, then do this:
Start command prompt (as administrator in windows 7, 8...) and type this (followed by enter):
Code:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
and after that line, type this:
Code:
start devmgmt.msc
Now try and find devices with exclamation, there should be your android device. Now right click and uninstall it. Then plug out your phone, and plug it back in. If it doesnt't work after this, I'd say that all you can do then is to reinstall htc drivers.

My pc doesnt recognize the device its either unknown or it doesnt show up
So you connected with a fastboot cable? If that is the case then download and extract the drivers in my signature somewhere and right click the unknown device in the device manager and hit update drivers and point it to where you extracted my drivers. If you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first. From there you should be able to restore it with kffa or SRT.

A specialist at this type of stuff told me it was hard bricked after 9 hours of working on it hard and by chatting any one know how to fix hard bricked? or just buy another one?
I seriously doubt it is hard bricked unless it starts either not turning on or shows up as a omap 4440 device. Even if it is hard bricked its still technically fixable, but you need a soldering iron, some skill, and a sdcard reader plus a Ubuntu live os to reboot into to reflash the bootloader and other partitions.
