Hello all so took it upon myself to try and help my father out with his tablet. Tried the steps outlined in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45946493&postcount=3004 The unit wasn't on the 7.2.3 bootloader so i proceeded to flash that before following the steps outline in that post. Not the tablet will try to boot but not stay on. Is there a way for me to save it or is it done?
Tried the following:
This relies on you having a working device (as long as it can boot at all, you're good). If you wish to enter fastboot mode to flash system images like new versions of TWRP or restore Amazon OS 7.2.3 if you've got freezing or bootloops, then you need a regular USB cable that came with the device, or any other mini-USB cable that fits the device and the computer. Again, you need to have Android SDK installed before you can use fastboot. Turn the device off, and leave it unplugged. Go to your computer, open command prompt, and type this:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Hit enter, and it should return with <waiting for device>. If it doesn't, your fastboot drivers aren't working. Install Android SDK and go from there. If it does, connect your turned-off Kindle to the computer. Two things will happen: one, the command prompt will show "Tate-xxx-xxx" (something there), and two, your Kindle should reboot into fastboot mode. To exit fastboot mode, after you finished flashing what you needed, type this:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
If you can fully boot into the ROM, you can use ADB to boot into fastboot, but you must still use the same command above to reboot out of fastboot mode. Then make sure ADB is turned on through settings, connect the device to the computer using a regular USB cable, and type this:
Code:
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
And that's all for the basics! Let's move on to the actual process.

Still nothing the tablet boots to the logo and shuts down. Will i need to purchase one of the fastboot cables or a nexus 7?
If it's a kfhd 7" or kf2, then a fastboot cable is your best bet, the fastboot getvar product command only works on a 8.9" model unless you have 2nd boot loader on the other models.

Damn well that's better then having to pay for a new tablet. I put it on the charger after reading that it may be a charging issue. I know it only trickle charges through USB. It still does the same thing but where the screen would be black behind the kindle fire logo it is green with lines running through it. I will let it charge try again and then buy the cable if anything. Any other thoughts or ideas?
Uh I hope the boot loader isn't damaged too bad, I haven't heard of green lines going through it before, usually if something goes bad with the 2nd bootloader installation process(aka not downgrading first) it results in a red screen. This is probably due to a bad download of the boot loader, that's why it is always key to check the md5sum of the boot loader before you downgrade it.

Lines in the screens, good LCD screen not withstanding, are not good. Normally this is a firmware issue that required Amazon to send a replacement. Let's hope KFFA restores everything for you.

I let it charge overnight and booted it and it is still only booting to the kindle fire logo and shutting down. Luckily the screen is black now rather than the green I mentioned. So is my best course of action the fast boot cable and then KFFA? I will try the fastboot commands again when i get home. Is KFFA only going to help me in the sense of restoring the files or will it potentially help me with the fastboot process as well? The above method that I used with the fireflash 11 is that proper or should i be doing it some other way?
I personally think the fire flash method is the easiest, some people brick though because they don't follow the instructions properly, I don't think this was the case with you though. That kindle is more than likely not going to go into fastboot with commands, that typically is a 8.9" thing unless you have a successful flash of 2nd bootloader. I know kffa restores the system partition and recovery and boot, but I am unaware if it flashes the boot loader, and I am pretty sure you definitely need to reflash the bootloader since it had lines through it.

You must have a fastboot factory cord, not a regular USB. Watch this video to make sure you have your ADB driver set up right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw Use KFFA to restore to 7.2.3. Choose that option as Hashcode has a 7.2.3 boot.img that will match the firmware you will be using, reducing the chance or bootlooping a great deal.

If your going to use FireFlash, you can go to seokhun's thread and read uo on flashing the 2nd bootloader / TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
Some great info about this on Opemsystem's thread as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347170
Hashcode's thread has the files you need to flash. If you choose 7.2.3, use boot.img 7.2.3 located right below step 4 of Hascodes thread. Not number 4 of step 2, but right below step 4 and the TWRP 2.6.1.0 in his original post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

I made some changes to the build.prop and rebooted, and now it gets stuck at the Kindle Fire boot animation. I can't get it to boot into safe mode either. Is there a way to unbrick or restore it without a factory cable? I can't get it to show up with adb.
If there's no way, I could probably make a factory cable, but it would be nice to fix it without having to do that.

Yes there is a way to get the 8.9 into fastboot so you can restore it without a factory cable, as a factory cable does not work on this device.
Power down the device and unplug
Open a cmd prompt where you have access to the fastboot script from SDK
Enter this command (or any fastboot cmd as long as you include [-i 0x1949]:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
It will say "waiting for device"
Plug in the device and it will automatically boot into fastboot.
I have confirmed this works works when the device is in a loop and adb is not recognized. This does not work on the other models, a factory cable is required. Once in fastboot you can flash a backup image. I will be posting an update to the KFHD SRTool in the development section this morning to include 8.9" version

Tried that... The command you said just shows the help list, if I do a different fastboot command it says waiting for device and then the Kindle boots normally and gets stuck at boot animation like usual.

Are you sure you typed that command correctly because the help menu comes up if a command is entered wrong, I just did it and it worked fine. When you enter a fastboot command for this device it has to have the- [-i 0x1949] after fastboot, that is a zero not an O. If that is not done it will boot normally
ie:
fastboot -i 0x1949 [command]
I've posted the update for the 8.9 restore tool in development section
It could be because I have an older version of fastboot. Any chance you could upload the newest version for me?

Here you go:
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B4lZEJI5lYeMdzJobG5jSk9QSEk/edit
If you need to restore the system image though, you should just download the KFHD_SRTool from development section for 8.9 and follow the instructions. It has fastboot included in the tool.
I've done the same thing with my kindle fire hd 7 (7.2.2 rooted, no TWRP), now its just stuck on the boot animation.
adb does not recognize the device. I tried using fastboot, (with the normal usb cable), it gets stuck with the '<waiting for device>' message.
The device manager does show the Kindle, but earlier it used to show 2 devices, a kindle and an adb composite
Were you ultimately able to solve this issue?

Turns out, it was a driver issue. Installed the proper Amazon driver, then it was detected by the adb. From there on, I was able to replace the bad build.prop with my backup

My Kindle Fire 8.9" SW v.8.1.4 is completely dark and unresponsive as the result of an unsuccessful attempt to root using KF utility 0.9.6. I suspect results would have been different if I'd had the sense to locate your tool and use it instead. Having downloaded KFHD for v8.1.4, I have tried to get the tool talking with the brick, and see only < waiting for device > eternally. I have charged overnight, held the power button down for >20 sec. to make sure the device was off, then bumped the power button. This should assure that the device is on, but in Amazon's wisdom there are no LEDs to confirm this. Do you have any suggestions for getting the device in a communicative state? I am perfectly willing to open the case. Please forgive the post if this is not the right thread for it, and point me to the right spot if you can.

I have exactly the same problem. This KFU-version seems to be a real KF 8.9"-killer.
My device does not respond to anything, regardless what I tried. Connecting to a PC does not trigger any response. The device is not recognized by the PC in any way. I believe that there is no USB-communication at all. I tried a factory-mode cable and this didn't work, too.
Any help would be appreciated, really!
Thanks and regards

Add another brick to the pile. Fire HD 8.9. Already rooted, OTA defeated, and Google App'd, but wanted the security of FFF just in case. Planned to used KFU 0.9.6 to set fastboot and then push FFF 1.4a once in fastboot. Instead, used KFU 0.9.6 to automatically install FFF. It appeared that KFU pushed FFF and then sent a reboot. The machine never came back to life after that shutdown.

I removed the back - there are no obvious 'fastboot' pads on any of the boards as there is for the HD 7".

Another one bites the dust...but hopefully not
Hi guys,
I tried the KFFirstAide tool to root my Fire 8.9, but after it ran, it just wipes red and then goes to the fastboot screen after powering up. I've used the KFHD SRT tool to replaced the system.img file, but still the same thing happens. Is it possibly because I need to restore the boot.img and recovery.img (which KFFirstAide overwrites) as well? And if so, does someone have a clean copy of those that will work with 8.1.4? Thanks!

I hope you didn't swap motherboards... Like user onemeila stated, you do not need a fastboot cable on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Just make sure that before you enter the command "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" that your Kindle is off and plug into the factory cable. Enter the command and wait for the message <wating for device>. Then turn on your kindle and you should boot into fastboot mode. If you see the fastboot screen on your kindle and Jem-PVT-Prod-04 in the command terminal, there is hope. The only problem I encountered is after each command, sometime it won't respond. So you might have to do one command, let it finish it's process. If the next one doesn't work, turn off the kindle enter "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" command. Turn on the kindle and proceed with the next command to restore your kindle.
The way the device is setup, it's very hard to completely ruin the device.
Also read this page for reference by hashcode http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175 and make sure to thank him. He helped me get my device going no problem. The top and bottom of the page should apply to you. If you need additional help let me know.

You are pretty much screwed. Sorry to tell you. You've flashed over the bootloader, the problem is with one that doesn't work. So your device won't even boot into fastboot no matter what you do. There was a way to do it on the original KF by removing the back and grounding the usb boot pad, then you could usbboot cmds to install the bootloader. But I'm not sure if it will work or ever been tested on this device. Good Luck, look on the bright side you can turn it into an extremely thin planter box, that still serves no purpose

I didnt read everything carefully but succeded in rooting my KHFD 8.9"

No fastboot cable needed once rooted.
You don't necessarily have to buy a fastboot cable. Its far simpler to root your kindle fire hd:
here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
To enter fastboot mode once rooted you open an ADB command prompt window and type "adb reboot bootloader".
To exit fastboot type "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot"
Now you'd want to install Hashcode's 2nd bootloader and TWRP to flash roms.
Follow the instructions here: http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
You can download the stock kindle fire hd 7.3.1 rom and flash with twrp and the wait for a proper CM10.1 release which is due very soon.

Straight From The Top Man who has blessed the Kindle scene. Its Strongly recommended you get a Fastboot cable and then you wont have any problems flashing if it all goes tits up on ya

So I tried your method but my Kindle wont boot into fastboot. It will turn on when i plug it into my PC with the cable but just continues with the demo stuff. Should i try and get a new cable? I have the ADB drivers installed
You have to use a fastboot cord. This is a factory cord not the standard USB cord. You can make one of buy on for 10 buck or so off eBay.
First, you have to completely power down your KFHD. Hold the power button down for 20 seconds if nothing else. Now connect the KFHD 7 to the PC with the fastboot cord. You should see the word fastboot light up on your screen in just a few seconds.
Now follow the instructions provided in your quote. You can also try Kindle Fire FirstAide. The instructions provided are solid though.

If you're feeling really adventurous and know how to solder, you could try this. I may end up doing this as well, as I bricked my own KFHD and don't wanna drop $13 for a fastboot cable, and can't get the head off my spare micro-USB cable.
Buying demo units is nice, because you can buy the Kindle for less than half the price, put it into fastboot, and have a normal KFHD.
As for which ROM to use, I would go with @Hashcode's CM10.2. But that's just my suggestion. If you want to still have all of Amazon's media services, such as Prime Video and the Kindle Fire reading app, you can use Kinology.
So my fastboot cable will cause my Kindle to turn on when its plugged into a computer but it doesn't go into fastboot mode. Do I need special drivers on my computer for this to work? I tried it without any software on my computer and with ADB + Kidnle drivers and neither works. When I plug the cable into my Droid 4 and my computer it boots my phone into some sort of special mode, doesn't specifically say fastmode though. Do I need a new cable? Or did I buy an lemon of demo unit lol. Thanks
Edit: I'd like to add that i have the 8.9 version if it makes any difference...
Fastboot cables don't work on 8.9” models, those are much simpler to get into fastboot, at least from my standpoint, you basically just open a command prompt up and CD into he folder with fastboot and run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and then after it says waiting for device you plug the kindle in while powered off with a normal cable. You might have to install the fastboot drivers though and that's kinda tricky because the device briefly appears as a fastboot device in the device manager when it first turns on and that's when you would have to update the drivers so it can communicate and send that command so it pops into fastboot. Probably is easier in my opinion to do it from an Ubuntu live CD after installing the fastboot command from the repos on13.10, but i only suggest that if you have driver issues.

Hi all.
I am experienced with the android phones but i am so clueless with this damn kindle fire hd crap thing so i would like to get some help from the lovely community.
I have just received a kindle fire hd from a very close friend yesterday and have been up all night reading most of the guides here and i am still stuck with the damn boot-loops.
I have installed the drivers for the device and i got the sdk adb package along with KFFirstAide.
Main problem :
I don't know what they did to the device "8 and 7 year old kids" but when i plugged it into the charger it started charging when it charged i moved over to the pc and plugged it into the usb on the pc and used abd in cmd the device is not recognized by the abd on pc so no commands works.
The boot-screen or what ever is a "kindlefire" logo with lights moving from one end to the other and its repetitive and that all the life i get out of it.
I know they didn't try and root the device as they are small kids and have no knowledge of that sort.
I cant give any info on the build or any software related info as i got it in my hands when it wasn't working and i am relying on this community's help.
Sorry for the long text.
You are going to need to get it into fastboot and reflash the system image probably, to do that u can try powering it of and running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" from a command prompt, and plugging the kindle in while it says waiting for device. This command is either part of the android SDK, or you can download a utility that has it such as the one mentioned below in link. I personally haven't ever succeeded getting it I to fast boot using that method so if that method fails you will need to buy a fastboot cable or make one, that will kick it into fastboot mode. If u succeed in getting it into fast boot mode you should use the kfhd system image restore tool, lemme get link.
Edit: link retrieved! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Oh and another note that link has instructions and some people get confused on step 2 because it has a command to run, that's only for if the kindle isn't bricked, so for you I already covered step 2 pretty much in my post, it is just basically get into fast boot mode. Oh and one more thing, while this post was under the 7" forum I saw u said u couldn't retrieve product info so I wasn't sure if you knew if it was a 7" or a 8.9", so I thought I'd mention if u end up having to use a fast boot cable instead of the command method above, run the command after its in fastboot mode, in either case if it says Tate its a 7 inch model.

Thanks very much for your reply but i have already tried the command line you supplied and every time i turn it off and then get the command line ready following by plugging in the usb while the kindle is shut off it just turns on and hangs in the "kindle fire" boot logo.
I cant tell if this is brink or if its just hanging there nor do i know what those kids did to it.
The kindlefire hd is 7" as i got a 8.9" samgsung galaxy tablet my self and kindlefire measured with that seams to be a 7"er.
The main problem is the pc cant detect this kindle device at all its as if i haven't connected the cable at all but the device it self does detect the cable as it turns on and goes into that annoying "kindlefire" boot logo mode and stays there.
Like I said I have never gotten that command to work, just get a fast boot cable they are fairly cheap around 10-15$, or make one if you have a soldering iron. They will make your kindle boot up from off into fast boot mode. This will definitely help you unbrick your kindle.

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

Thanks for the reply. So let's say I get a factory cable and I can get into fastboot mode; what are my next steps?

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.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
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.

I need your help for my KINDLE fire 7 " HD stuck at bootlogo. I just came back from work and switched on my KINDLE but it booted and got stuck at 'KINDLE FIRE' boot logo. I tried every possible troubleshooting method, like giving hard reset but nothing works. It switches ON and gets stuck at the LOGO. Going by the forums I know that I need a fastboot cable which I have already ordered and expecting the delivery.
Can you plz guide me how to proceed once I have the cable with me ?
Thanks in advance for your time.

You'll be fine once your fastboot cord arrives. Reference this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37169349 to return to 7.2.3 stock. And reference this video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw&desktop_uri=/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw to get your ADB drivers properly installed.

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'm not sure what is possible via fb other than adb. Try googling flash factory image & see what you find. Sorry I can't be of more help.

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
