I screwed up installing CM10.1 forgot to put rom onto device and ended up in boot loop.
I got a fastboot cable but the kindle shows as Tate PVT and the update driver box is greyed out. Cant get fastboot or adb to recognise the device.
Is there anyway to recover from this
Thanks

You have TWRP installed, right? Does your Kindle Fire logo turn blue while booting?

If you have twrp installed and the blue kindle boot screen just hit volume down and use the side load feature. But if your fastboot is giving u a problem where u can't hit update driver I would assume it would be because windows is already searching for one still? If so tell windows to skip obtaining from windows update and it finish sooner so u can try to update it manually.

Hi Baconrind. Screwing one’s device is a good opportunity to learn new things. At least this is what happened to me and I’m glad I did. A couple of months ago I bought a new KFHD7. I spend "wonderful :laugh:" weeks as the happy owner of a KFHD7 until I started to discover the shortcomings of same, so I started reading xda-developers’ stuff to try to customise the device. First I rooted it to be able to install Google Play Store. The idea was to stay as close to stock as possible. Unfortunately I lost root with the first Amazon OTA update, then I decided to install a second bootloader, TWRP, etc. To do that I followed Hashcode’s method Kindle Fire 2nd-bootloader + TWRP for the Kindle Fire HD 7 but at some point I bricked :crying: my device. I was stuck at the Kindle Fire logo. I spent hours browsing through xda-developers and discovered that the first thing to do was to get a fastboot cable. I did not have the patience to wait for it to come from China or wherever they make them, so I found a couple of posts on the xda forum here and here. I made my own even my soldering capabilities are quite limited. I shut down the KFHD7 and plugged the “fastboot” cable to the PC and then to the Kindle, a couple of seconds later I could see the fastboot logo. Once I saw the fastboot logo I unplugged it and used the regular data transfer cable instead. Before I started the unbricking process proper I downloaded and installed this tool: KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5.-7.3. I followed the onscreen indications and could reset my KFHD7 back to its original state. Good luck.
wanted to convert my HD7 into full android and got red screen in process. have read dozens of threads so far no help.
have fastboot cable, and I can get my kindle screen to say fastboot kindle fire - but I cannot seem to get the proper driver installed on my Win8 so that I can use fastboot. I've downloaded and installed numerous drivers. So far my kindle will not communicate with my computer, thus I cannot move forward in any way. I have installed ADB and SDK on my computer. I have scoured internet for ideas, helps. I am STUCK. Any help greatly appreciated!
Try the driver on my signature, but take note you are on windows 8, you can't install the driver by default because windows 8 won't allow unsigned drivers, you have to boot windows 8 up with driver signature enforcement disabled. Google disabling that and I think it may be the root of your problems.

Thanks! I think it worked. I still can only see my kindle in device manager, but I ran the SR Tool.bat option to check fastboot and it said it finished. of course my kindle won't reboot or anything because the bootloader is messed up. so now I am on a quest looking for steps to flash something with fastboot so that my kindle will actually reboot and then I can take steps toward a completely new ROM. obviously I'm learning as I go. I'll start reading more threads, feel free to point me in the right direction if you want. thanks again!

Do the part at step after where it says added 04/02, and please make sure you check the md5sum of the file before flashing, if it doesn't match up you will have a hard brick. Just Google "md5sum windows" if you don't know how to calculate a md5sum on windows. There's freeware available to do it.

I've read threads and answers to the point now that I'm going in circles. No one seems to address my problem. I am in fastboot. It appears I can flash things onto my kindle. I got the "kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin" file on my kindle and got rid of the red screen. but I cannot get a recovery screen on my kindle. it just says kindle fire (fire is in orange). I press the power and volume up button and nothing. I go back to the beginning, read more threads. argh! it doesn't seem to be bricked. I just can't get a new bootloader to run so that I can flash a new rom. argh help!
You can't get into twrp anymore be cause we had to restore the stock boot loader, now u just need to reflash the system image and it should boot up, might need the boot image as well, but I think that kfsrt restores both of those, just put it in fastboot again and start the process.

It was a long haul but finally got out of the loop. thanks for your help! the final step that got me out of the ditch was to download and use the KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0, then I ran #3 restore-factory recovery. I learned a lot through the process about fastboot and flashing files. For now I'm rooted with factory launcher and some other options too. I still think I want to wipe it and make it totally android.
Thoughts or recommendations? and thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Well there are a fair amount of ROMs out, I use a tablet ui cm ROM that jester originally made, but when he went straight to cm 10.2 I wasn't ready so I made my own patch for cm 10.1 latest update with tablet ui, if your interested check the link in my signature out, though u need to put twrp back on again.

I had some malware on on my kindle fire hd 7, a keylogger which someone installed to be exact. I went into the app settings trying to delete this file & i seem to have deleted the entire operating system from my kindle & now the whole system boot image is gone. I have no way to access adb usb debugging because the kindle no longer displays the notification bar at the top of the screen & because of this i'm unable to do the factory restore. I even bought a factory fastboot cable & it booted right into fast boot mode, but when i try to flash the system.img, it just tells me waiting on device. It also just show up as Tate-PVT-08 when in fastboot mode even though i have all the necessary drivers installed such as (kindle fire adb drivers,minimal adb and fastboot & android SDK ) Is there anyway you can assist me in getting my kindle back to working order ? Thank you. I attached some images so that you can see what i'm talking about. Even if i use the fast boot cable to boot into fast boot mode & then try to use the KFHD Restore Tool it just says waiting on device. Help !!
The drivers aren't installed if it has that mark next to it... Download the drivers in my signature, extract them, and tell that device with the exclamation to update drivers and search the location you extracted mine to.

stunts513 thanks man you saved me from having to spend $200 to get a new Kindle, I really thought it was bricked forever. I can't thank you enough, once again thank you, you really helped me out.
Hey guys im kinda new to this forum. i came here cuz im having a problem with installing a 2nd bootloader on my kfhd 7. i rolled back the version to 7.2.3 and then attempted to install twrp via cmd prompt and tru fireflash. both method resulted in a bootloop with no blue logo. it appears to me as if the processes corrupt the boot file thus causing the bootloop. i restored the kindle with KFHD SRT v1.3.0 and attempted these processes again. as we say in Trinidad and Tobago... FAILIAR (Fail-e-ah)...lol...any help would be appreciated...

interesting, i would assume with no redscreen that you either didn't apply the stack override or didn't flash the freedomboot image, or something else inbetween. It's always a good idea to check the md5sum's of the freedomboot, and recovery images, and espeically the bootloader, but i am not sure if you downgraded the bootloader or not yet, just because of the behavior your getting in the process. If fire flash doesn thave red warning text your fine.
Hey thanks for your help... You were right I didn't apply the stack right... I got it now.... Running cm10.2. BTW where can I get themes for this os?

Hi all,
Okay, so long story short my mother has been using this Kindle Fire HD 7 with CM10? on it for awhile. Very recently it started to become sluggish and I offered to take a look. We decided that she should go back to the stock OS as she literally uses it only to play Scrabble and to read an occasional book and that's where things get weird...
It does/did have TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed, however whenever I would mount the device to my computer (Windows 10) it would never show up as a drive.
Then I decided to wipe it...and now, I cannot get passed the Kindle Fire blue/white logo
I have installed Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9 and when connected it gives me an ADB Status of Online and a Boot Status: Unknown
I'm really just at a loss on what to do at this point...I have installed the drivers that came with the Kindle Fire Utility and my device manager does show Kindle when it's plugged in.
Thanks in advance!

If you can post into recovery . you could adb push some ROM and flash it using the recovery. You might have wiped the system off I suppose???

I'm about 99% sure I did wipe the system. How do I boot the device into recovery? I tried a few different methods and haven't been able.
well simulataneously clicking the hardware buttons did the work for me ???
