When I go to properties on the usb it says unknown device and says error 43.
I have tried 4 cables and same thing. I tried all usb ports and also diff computer.
Also I tried updating driver but it says already updated.

Try the drivers in my signature, if it still persists I would worry because typically I remember the equivalent to this message back when I was running xp, and I usually only got that if there was a short somewhere in the USB connection.

Remove the old drivers first and then install the new drivers. More details about what you did, where you are at and where you want to be would help.

What made you want to switch from a factory cable to a regular USB? Hold the power button down for 30 seconds until it powers down. Now use a fastboot cord only and plug into tablet and computer. When you type fastboot into cmd, what does it say? Have you tried running Kindle Fire FirstAide yet?

it says waiting for device
plus i read somewhere to unbrick u use the FACTORY cable to go into fastboot mode only than you switch to REGULAR cable after.

You need to read some more then. There is a reason steps are listed. Your ADB drivers must be set up proper. Try to run KFFA with the fastboot cord attached in fastboot.

Can you screenshot the device manager with the error and maybe the page with the hardware id's on the details tab. To screenshot, hit the print screen button on your keyboard, open paint and hit paste and save the file.

here is what you have requested.
also if i may add when i boot up it comes to a red screen and i cannot do anything after that. it stays on that screen
Ah that is very bad, I have seen a few cases of this happening on the forum, for all I know it could be something shorted out on the motherboard or a loose solder joint on one of the data terminals for the micro USB plug on the kindle. This is how it shows up with a normal cable right? Not the fastboot cable? Because I could understand it doing this with the fastboot cable possibly, but not the normal one.

Once you bootloop or in your case , get a red screen, your device won't be readable. The USB won't recognize your drivers. Set ADB drivers up right and use a factory cord (not USB cord) run KFFA or you can try this link too. Can't post the link.nXDA app strikes again.
Search KFHS system.IMG tool. Try that.

So I tried to install TWRP on my Kindle Fire HD 7 and when the steps came to use FireFlash I had out the wrong img. file into the boot partition and placed no file into the recovery partition. Now whenever I power on my Kindle 7 HD, I automatically go into TWRP and I dont know what to do... HELP PLEASE. THANK YOU TO ALL!!!
Wait u replaced the boot loader with twrp? I think that's fixable, but I need to know if that's what happened or if I misunderstood.

Yes exactly that. TWRP became the boot partition for FireFlash and I forget to insert a recovery partition.
Wow um, I don't know if u can use fast boot at this point or not even though that would be easiest, if u can't I think u would need a custom ROM to flash that restores stock os, because I think the ones hashcode provided don't wipe recovery and the boot partition. This is a weird scenario. I will need to do some research before I can tell you exactly what to do. This may take a while to research if I am downloading stock ROMs since they are near a GB. If u can get it into fast boot by going g into twrp and hitting reboot, then hitting bootloader, tell me because this will be much simpler.

If you can get into fastboot, get kindle fire first aide and just restore to stock 7.2.3

So the guide says that the fastboot should so up automatically after the USB cable is plugged in, but I only get fastboot after I reboot with boot loader. Will this be a problem (I haven't done it yet)?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Shouldn't be a problem. Fastboot is fastboot. xD
I thought I would mention I haven't used kffa so I personally don't know if it flashes your boot loader partition or not. But since it was suggested to do it it can't hurt anything even if that wasn't the case. Post the results plz.

Did your kindle go into fast boot when using the fat boot cable?
Of it did you should be able to fix it using the first aid thread and proper drivers.

No ,it didn't do nothing. Just like the regular cable. "Waiting for device" and nothing. I dont even know is it has any power left in the battery.
OK I have 3 questions:
1. Does the kindle display fastboot in yellowish letters on the screen when you plug the fastboot cable into the kindle from the PC?
2. If it does, did you switch to a normal cable after it displays that?
3. What fastboot command are you running in command prompt?

First of all thanks a lot for replay-ing to my post really apreciate,but i dont get any respond with the fastboot cable,the kindle"s display remains black all of the time.i just recieve the specific sound(from windows) that a device is conected,i"ve tried looking for the conection im device manager but it"s not to be found
Let me explain what and when the kindle stop working
I"ve instaled adb drivers,sdk java,sdk android with the google drivers,conect the kindle to usb cable and enable adb from menu,the rooting proces start to begin,i"ve managet to root my kindle,superuser appear in my kindle and all of that,but now the tutorial i"ve watch said that if i want to get rid off kindle android and get my self the original android i"ve have to folow cuple of more steps. And at the next reboot the kindle stops powering on.
Thank you again for your help.
What did you use to root it? Actually that might not be the right question because I'm still a little confused, did this happen after rooting it and rebooting, or after you tried to install 2nd boot loader+twrp. If what you originally were trying to say was you flashed the 8.9” bootloader to a 7" model, then it is hard bricked.

They both use the same method to root... If that's all you did I doubt its hard bricked. And hard bricks may be recoverable in the near future thanks to kurohyou.

Hi there fellow xda developers.
I have a kindle fire HD 2012 on os version 7.2.1. I would like to update this to a later version in order to install a 2nd bootloader. I have tried using SRT 1.3.5 to update it but it ends up bricking the kindle so i had to use SRT 1.2 to get it back to stock. I can't update it using OTA as the kindle itself is disabled and is no longer recognized by amazon, it wont even let me sign in.
Is there any way of updating it.
Thanks in advance.
I'm assuming you have a factory/fastboot cable, download Kindle Fire First Aide and select the option that says Kindle Fire HD 7 and find the option that says completely restore Kindle to 7.2.3

You're in a bootloop. Power the tablet down. Go buy/make yourself a fastboot cord. Now use the system restore tool, choose option 3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254

i recommend the blackhat adapter mentioned in hashcodes 2nd bootloader+twrp tutorial. And from what i know i don't think fastboot cables are useful with an s4, i don't know much about other devices, but don't the s4's use the loki exploit to install a custom rom?
