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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
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.

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.

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.
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 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.

This is my 1st time asking for help since I really have never needed it. I got a kindle fire HD 7" and rooted it. I added TWRP and a 2nd bootloader. For a long time I was stuck in TWRP and every time I tried to reboot it would just go back to TWRP. This morning I tried using the Kindle fire utility and selected option one. It seemed like it worked. I then rebooted and now I am stuck on the Kindle Fire boot screen. It shows Kindle fire on the screen, goes black for a few seconds, then back to the kindle fire, then goes black again. It keeps doing this over and over again. I am not able to get back into TWRP now. I am not sure what to do at this point. I have read just about every thread out there and cannot find a similar situation to mine. Any guidence would be appreciated.
OK mistake number one, do not use kindle fire utility on a kfhd, you could easily hard brick the kindle. That was designed for first gen it's and they work a bit differently than yours. OK now that I got that out of the way, does your kindle still have the logo turn blue?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
Thanks for the quick reponse. When I installed the 2nd bootloader and TWRP I got into the bootloop. At that time when it would bootloop it would go from orange to blue twice before going back to TWRP again. After I made the mistake of using the Kindle FIre utility it now just keeps on the kindle fire start-up screen and it is always orange.
You are either going to need a fastboot cable to fix or have some luck getting a command to work... If you open the device manager, and plug your kindle in while its off, does a Tate device show up for a few seconds? If so try updating the drivers on the Tate device to the ones in my signature. From there you should be able to use a fastboot command to get the kindle to boot into fastboot. The command would be "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", but if your not seeing a Tate device then this command will be useless, and I don't wanna finish explaining how to use this command until I know your PC is detecting it, assuming you don't know how to use the fastboot command by itself from a command prompt since I don't know your skill level with android stuff and windows command prompt stuff.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
Thanks again for replying. I would say my experience level is low when it comes to command prompts. I get the basics though. I will check when I get home if I see if a Tate device shows up when I connect with my usb and get back to you. Even when I was in TWRP I was having difficulty seeing my device on the computer to add a custom rom to the sd card. I tried sideloading and tried mounting the sd card but nothing worked. I wish now I would have just left it in TWRP and did some more research. Live and learn I guess. I will let you know what I find out. Thanks again.
Ok. I turned off the Kindle and then attached the USB to the computer. Nothing is being recognized. I see now too that my adb interface is also gone. It appears the computer is no longer picking up anything. When I attach the Kindle to the computer it starts the bootloop again flashing the kindle fire screen over and over again. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again.
I think your only hope is a fast boot cable, and honestly or just depends how broke it is whether it works or not

Ok. I wanted to clarify what I did to get in the situation that I am in. I rooted my device with no issues. I then decided to install a 2nd bootloader and TWRP. After all was done my Kindle Fire HD 7" booted to TWRP. I could not get my computer to show my device so I was stuck. Every time I would reboot it would flash kindle fire in orange, then in Blue, then in Orange, the in Blue then would go back to TWRP. I then put the device with the USB attached to my computer and from TWRP I put the device into fastboot mode. I then used the KFHD SRT v1.3.5 tool and opened the SR.Tool.bat and chose option 1. After it was done I rebooted and now I am stuck on the Kindle fire screen (in orange) and it will show for a few seconds, turn off, then go back to the kindle fire screen again (in orange) and just keep repeating. I ordered a factory cable to try to get back to fastboot mode but since it did not work for me the 1st time I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for me. Thanks in advance.
Are you sure it is a factory/fastboot cable? I would either get them from skorn or proxenusa since I know they are reliable.

Hello again. I don't have the factory cable yet; I just ordered it yesterday. When I used the fastboot mode the last time I entered the mode from TWRP and was connected to my computer with a regular usb charger. When it was in fastboot mode I selected the option 1 from the tool I mentioned in my previous post. I am just wondering if the fastboot did not work with the KFHD tool I used because I did not have a factory cable connected hence why I am stuck on the Kindle fire screen. What do you think?
No, typically it is said to use a fastboot cable just to get the device into fastboot, then plug the normal cable in afterward.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
For future reference, when you get your kindle back up and running again, you need to flash a custom ROM to boot. The TWRP boot loop stems from trying to boot into stock ROM, it won't work. So just put a ROM on your kindle before you flash bootloader + twrp next time.

Fastboot cord uses fastboot commands while in fastboot. This is the link to Kindle Fire FirstAid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 Once you follow the steps for setup and run it, you will choose number 3 to go back to 7.2.3 When asked if you want to reboot into fastboot, choose no because you are in fastboot.
You can use the regular USB to get into fastboot mode but not now that you are in a bootloop. After running KFFA to restore to 7.2.3 you will also use it to root and remove OTA updates then install gapps or if you are going to go custom romm with 2nd bootloader and TWRP recovery, skip gapps and move on to the latter. Do NOT use KFFA to install TWRP/2nd bootloader or any ROM. Use FireFlash.

So you're saying that you had a bootloop and you ran Kindle Fire FirstAide. Which numbers/options did you press? Plugging that fastboot cord in will power your Kindle Fire HD and send it into fastboot no matter the battery charge. Where did you get the fastboot cord from? A reliable source? I'm only asking because if the battery were low and the wire that connects pins 1 to 4 (think) that energize the Kindle into fastboot mode are somehow faulty, then this would stop the kindle from going into fastboot. However, if the fastboot cord is working, it would seem you have a hard brick. I will look around to see if there is a solution for this.

Thanks for help mate. I bought it from amazon and it seemed to be the most reliable source http://www.amazon.com/EarlyBirdSavi...ywords=kindle+factory+cable&tag=s601000020-20
I firstly reboot the bootloader couple of times like people suggested me. When that didn't help I restored it and like i gave a detail in other post that it took fair amount of time like 45 mins of reading and writing the .img files. Even the message was prompted that 'Your kindle has been restored to 7.2.3, the only thing is that all this while the display of my Kindle didn't changed and was fixed on 'Fastboot Kindle fire' logo. I was disappointed with this device from start due to that crappy kindle OS which made it way too slow and things kept freezing and crashing all the time. Since I am in colombia and used a freight service for this cable to be delivered, i ended up paying 30 USD for the cable. I don't think I will be sending it for repair , it just don't worth it the expenses for the repair and the shipping cost from Colombia and vice versa. May be will keep experimenting and looking on XDA if at some point of time hard brick issue could be fixed.

I rooted and installed cm12 or 13 on it and it was working well but i lost root so i flashed Supersu through twrp now my device is bootlooping on the amazon fire boot screen. I couldn't get into fastboot so bought a fastboot cable which has arrived today (2 weeks from china) now when i plug it in the device goes into fastboot mode but my windows 10 shows it in device manager as Other Devices Tate -pvt-08. I cant issue commands through ADB (adb devices just shows nothing connected) if i enter the getvar command i just get waiting for device. I've reinstalled the kindle device driver and still no joy.
I also made a complete backup of my kindle before i rooted it which i have stored safely. but i need to know how i can push them to my kindle and how to make my laptop see the kindle.
I'm struggling now and pretty lost with it all if someone could lend a hand and tell me what im doing wrong

cant remember what i did tbh, ive just fired my kndle up first time in a while and the rom im using is Omni Rom 6.0 its old (2016) but works. i remember using adb to push backed up partition images and literally started from scratch. Not much help but it was quite some time ago
thinking of trying this rom at some point as its 2018

I am trying to install CM on a Kindle and got put in beween a rock and a hard place.
I was able to successfully able to root the Kindle. I don't remember what method I used. After that, I installed the FlashFire app and tried installing TWRP. After rebooting, the kindle is in a bootloop. It goes to the Kindle screen for about 3 secs and then reboots. I dont see any movement in the logo.
I made a 'factory cable' and am able to get it in fastboot mode. The only problem is, I can not get ADB to work. I have the Amazon drivers installed. I do 'adb devices' and nothing shows up. I have tried using a different port and un/reinstalling the drivers.
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Does the logo ever then blue? Also adb doesn't work with fastboot, you use fastboot commands with fastboot mode.

No. The logo stays orange.
EDIT: Actually, the "Kindle" is blue but the rest is orange.
If the kindle logo is blue that's good, hold I think its volume down when the logo is orange until it turns blue and recovery should come up at which point I think this will help you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498

Neither of the volume buttons are taking me to a recovery.
Well in that case you can always go for using kffa to restore it using your fastboot cable, though you will probably need to restore the boot loader manually too, just remember too check the boot loaders md5sum before flashing it so you don't hard brick.

Ok, I was able to get the recovery to finish and work, but now the Kindle won't even turn on. I left it on the charger for about an hour and still nothing.
What exactly did you do because if it won't even turn on that's a very bad sign.

Well I am going to call it KIA. I don't think there will be anything anyone can do to have it fixed.
See if you can send it into amazon for a free replacement.

I was going to ask if you are sure your fastboot cord is still functioning right? Some of them homemade ones can break. Just a thought.
