So I grabbed a Kindle Fire HD 7" yesterday with the intention of making it run 4.2. After rooting it successfully, I followed the "The Simple Guide to Root the Kindle Fire HD and Flash a Custom ROM" guide on Gizmodo.
However, like an idiot, I forgot to put my ROM on my tablet before flashing it. Now it only boots into TWRP and Fastboot. I can't get adb working for the life of me. Is there any convoluted method of putting the ROM on my Kindle, or worst case scenario doing a complete factory reset? I'm very concerned I bricked my device for good. Please tell me otherwise. :3
Whenever I tell it to reboot into Recovery, it simply takes me back to TWRP.
Nevermind, I fixed it by flashing the stock recovery and boot.

So, I'm running software 6.3.1(stock), and I wanted to root. So, i followed a tutorial that said I should install TWRP recovery after I root. But, dummy me, tried to install TWRP recovery on a stock kindle fire. After a couple of minutes of installing, a console message appeared that said that the program told the kindle to boot in fastboot mode. Well, after 10 minutes, the Kindle was still not booted, so I disconnected it from my PC. And now, when I try to turn the Kindle back on, it just stops at the splash screen. I'm thinking that it's bricked, so can anyone help me get this fixed?
Hey guys,
So, I'm a noob here and I think I messed up badly. I had my kindle rooted and was attempting to install CyanogenMod using an app called fire flash as I was instructed. Now my kindle is stuck in a boot loop. The Kindle Fire logo is not animated and disappears and comes back... over and over again. I was originally trying to get CyanogenMod through a guide on Gizmodo but was experiencing some problems and decided to try the fire flash route. Does anyone have any info on how to fix the boot loop problem I'm facing?
Thank you!

Depends on what you did. Check my thread, and see what you did wrong. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
If you can access TWRP, and made a Nandroid backup, then reboot into TWRP and restore. Otherwise, if you can enter fastboot, then refer to number 4 in that thread.

Hey I ran into a similar situation, my logo is exactly as you described. Tomorrow I'm going to order a Fastboot cable, and hopefully be able to use that to flash a working bootloader. If anyone has any more updates on this situation, it would be greatly appreciated :laugh:
I'm finding it somewhat impossible to install a custom ROM on this currently useless device.
It is a Kindle Fire HD 7" (not the new HDX)

- Already tried it and the tablet goes into a bootloop once I restart, have to use factory cable to restore, apparently it doesn't work if your 7.30 or above

I tried this to downgrade it to 7.2.1 but once completed the tablet said it cant boot and has to do a restore, then it goes back to 7.30. There is a 7.2.3 option too but I never tried it.
I don't know what to do all I want is to get rid of this stupid crap rom but if I can't I'll just have to use a launcher... any ideas?
When you boot looped did the kindle fire logo turn blue?
The first link should work fine for installing twrp the issue with 7.3 is the boot loader and the entire reason you install the freedom boot part.
It should install twrp and at the same time most likely boot loop your device.
Just try using the key combo if twrp doesn't automatically load.
After installing twrp you need to already have a rom on your sd card and to immediately install it.
I would recommend to try the first link again.

Yessir I already tried it 2 times. First is when I first got my Kindle and had to wait a month for a fast boot cable. I tried again but still boot loops again on the Kindle Fire logo, really frusterating.

What version is your stock software? If you have the new refresh of the KFireHD (2013) then the 2nd bootloader exploit wont work for you.

I am having a problem with my Kindle Fire HD 7”
So far I have rooted and unrooted several times with an app called vRoot to gain all the cool things associated with root. I am using KFHD software version 7.5.1. Recently I found out about flashing custom roms and I wanted every part of them because I was sick of the amazon ecosystem. So I figured it would be best to return to stock (to be safe) before installing roms. I made sure that I was root, then followed this (http://www.tekify.co.uk/kindle-fire-hd/recovery/) tutorial I successfully installed TWRP version 2.8.3.0. I booted into recovery, made a backup then rebooted. I then followed this tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409435), downloaded the file, went into recovery wiped everything except for sdcard, then flashed the zip file successfully and wiped sdcard. then I rebooted the device. Now it stuck at the stationary Kindle Fire logo. But something has to be working because I unplugged it from the charger, waited a few hours to die. And when I plugged it in it displayed the low battery icon and in a few minutes it was stuck at the stationary Kindle Fire logo once again. What should I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
hey all
so i am in a bit of a pickle here and hoping you can help.
so this fire had slim LP flashed and was great but after hearing about cyanogenmod for kindle i decided id switch because i <3 cyanogenmod on my devices.
i attempted a flash using flashfire like i did when flashing slimLP but it seemed to have crashed so i turned it off during the flash.
I have tried getting into the recovery but when i do it freezes on a silver amazon logo
i had hoped to boot into recovery and re flash the stock OS via ADB but because i cant get into the recovery i cant do that.
the device was on fireOS 5.1.1 before the switch to slimlp any ideas would be appreciated am i screwed or is it saveable?

Unfortunately, you are probably done. If the device is within warranty (90 days) contact Amazon for a one-time courtesy replacement.
FlashFire version, options and operations sequence are important. If you attempt this again (presumably on a different device) be sure to read through the relevant thread for the most current information and recommendations.
