[Q] Kindle HD, stuck on Kindle Fire log

Hi all,
Kindle fire HD ( rooted) got OTA update and after the update its stuck on the Kindlefire logo screen. Tired resetting it by pressing 20sec / also tried 30 sec but no joy. Also tried pressing the volume Up and power but its stuck on the kindlefire log.
Tried to run recovery (KFFA) but my laptop does not detect kindle fire at all. I guess factory cable is the last option but I dont have it and need to order one . But I was wondering if Amazon could replace it under warranty ?
Cheers

Of course your computer won't detect it, ADB requires both devices to be fully-booted and can communicate. Use your regular cable to boot into fastboot and restore. Read my thread in my signature, #6 & #7.

Thanks for the reply, I will try to follow your post #6 & #7.
I am still confused, I had only rooted Kindle and got google play installed and it was working fine. It seems that there was OTA firmware upgrade and after that upgrade when the device rebooted its stuck on the kindle fire screen.
Appreciate your reply.
Cheers

I dont know what is going on ? Android SDK is installed and even ADB is working but somehow my laptop does not detect the Kindle. It is just stuck on waiting for device.... ?
Getting error on step 2 Qemutool.bat ?
Step 2 - Exploiting...
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /data/local.prop: Permission denied
Rebooting...
Once your devices has finished restarting,
Press any key to continue . . .
Pls help.

Solutions
1. What root tool did you use? A: if it was bin4ry type in notepad 0x1949 and save it to .android under users/Your User/.android
Like for me it would be users/chris/.android and you would save it to .android dir. if you dont have an .android dir. make one. Then see if your device is reconized as android composite adb device or at least kindle. Also try installing drivers for the kindle and uninstall the drivers and reinstalling them
2. I had a similar problem i rooted my kfhd and it became so slow it wouldnt turn on eventully after 30min. it turned on but was so slow when i sided to unlock it took five minutes. I also i tried rerooting without unroot. it worked so i used binary's root like i was unrooted and my kindle was back again. it turned out when i rooted i only had 50% battery and you NEED to have at least 90%. this also fixed any audio issues.
3. your original kf cord that came when shipped maybe shot and you may need a new one if it wont charge like someone else said "android devices need at least 20% battery to turn on". i dont find this to be true i need at least 5% but find a new cord and charge it seee if it works then.
4. if it turns on the the kindle fire logo flashes quicker then you can boot into recovery. the recovery screen should be a red warning sign saying reboot or restore click restore.
5. with a home made factory cord try booting into recovery mode and follow solution (4).
6. what root apps did you have on the device fire flash? A: fire flash will not work with the new 7.4.1 ota update
Let me know from there if you get your kindle working if no i can supply more solutions based on your answers and the reactions from my solutions.
I can also supply drivers and root tools

Dude, no offense meant really, but posting this big long thing everywhere isn't really helping anybody.....
If your kindle is stuck, you'll need a factory cable. You need to be able to get to fast boot so you can use the Kindle SRT tool, that allows you to flash a clean ROM to your device through fast boot.

Sorry...

Sorry, didn't mean anything anything bad by that, I just found it's always easier to try the simple things first one by one and not overload with info because the problem usually is just something simple. I wasn't saying that you shouldn't try to help, that's what we should do as a community, just that we should take it one step at a time with simple items first. Again didn't mean anything bad, hope you weren't offended

It's okay, so the problem is solved? Also, ipsearch make sure you look on the forms for your problem because, other people may have the same problem and it might already be solved no offense.

HI, yes i've tried charging the kindle using my laptop. Well, the battery is drained. And it charges for quite sometime and then when it gets enough charge, it opens by itself. I cannot hold the power button for it will shut down and wont push thru charging. HEnce when I leave it charging, like I said it would open on its own then eventually shut down on its own again. At this part, I dont know if it still charges. Tried leaving it overnight too but still wont open. As for the factory cable, I dnt know where I could get it. I am from the Philippines. And how do I get that recovery tool? Thanks

Kindle fire hd yellow loop not getting to blue no fastboot

Hey guys I have a kindle fire that was running 7.4.6.. I rooted it without any issues and tried to install the Cynogen mod. I was then sent into a bootloop because the TWRP wouldnt load but i was able to get it into fastboot Before the blue kindle logo. I used KFHD_SRTv1.3.5 in an attempt to restore it back to factory settings. I am unable to get out of this loop as my video below will show. Please help me! I understand I am a novice at this and shouldnt of been tinkering around with it since I dont know much about kindles or android for that matter.

[Q] freezing launcher.apk problem

I haven't found any other thread where someone admitted to doing something this dumb. Was set to install Go Launcher on KFHD, thought i had copied it to device. Used ROM Toolbox Pro to freeze stock launcher.apk. Started having problems navigating on KFHD when going to flash go launcher (I know I should have done that first, especially now). Rebooted without thinking about not having a launcher. Now it wont boot into anything usable. Win 7 pc cant find it thru USB even when I was going to try to copy the stock launcher over somewhere. Running stock ROM. Can't boot up into any kind of recovery mode. Willing to do factory reset but can't figure that out from where i'm stuck either.
Any ideas on how to either recover to stock or unfreeze stock launcher w/out access to any launcher? Any and all help is appreciated.
UPDATED: I have just ordered SkOrPn's Factory Cable (as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20380015&postcount=9) in case that is part of anyone's solution.

Its is part of the solution, u just need to reflash the system image from kindle fire first aid in fastboot mode.

No way to bring up a recovery screen using the power and vol buttons, huh?
When i reboot w/ this cable it should be detected as usable by Win7, right?

If it can't find drivers for it use the ones in my signature, also stock recovery is useless, u can't get into it from a key combo, only if certain circumstances happen do u even get into it, and all it allows u to do is factory reset which typically is pointless and just wipes your data.
Another thing to mention, just plug the fastboot cable in until your kindle displays "fastboot" on the screen, once that happens switch back to using a normal cable.

10-4. I've got the right drivers, was blowing things out and in pretty well until I screwed up the launcher. Thanks!

SUCCESS!
Device went into fastboot immediately when using skorpn's factory cable, but couldn't get my kindle recognized by Win7 to use adb. Installed drivers from 3 or 4 different sources with no luck, but sparkym3's did the trick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838). Ran onemeila's restore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254) from the img with built-in Apex launcher, and voila!

[Q] My Kindle Fire has a red triangle!

Hello, I was downloading custom rom on my Kindle Fire HD 7, and I got into a boot loop. I purchased a fastboot cable, and used the KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0 to fix it, using the fastboot cable. Once I was done it rebooted, and the Kindle showed a red triangle that says, "Kindle Fire System Recovery Your Kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot. Resetting your device to Factory defaults may help you fix this issue. Volume up/down to move highlight; power button to select. Reboot your Kindle. Reset to Factory Defaults." I have tried both options, but it goes back to the same screen. I would really appreciate it if someone helps.
Thank you!

Try reflashing it again, if that doesn't work, try using kindle fire first aid to do it for you instead.

Hi, thank you for replying, It is now working. Also, I read a thread on how to install TWRP recovery on to the Kindle, I followed every step, and I had no problems, except when I went into TWRP, the Kindle would show two blue lines, and white squiggly lines. The Kindle boots up fine, but it's just that TWRP isn't working. I've uploaded a picture of it here.
Thank you.

I would reflash the latest twrp IMG via fastboot, check the md5sum of it this time and make sure its the kfhd7' version.

Thank you very much!! TWRP is working now, and I installed CM10 Jelly Bean on it!!

I've run in to the same problem (red triangle with the options to reboot or wipe data - and tried both), but First Aide just hangs. Trying the N2A restore tool now, but if that doesn't work, what else can I do?
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7", and I am using a fastboot cable. I've tried:
1. KFHD_SRTv1.3.5
2. KFFirstAide100
3. N2A (running now)
I'm out of options and really at a loss as to what else I can do. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 7 (Tate) bricked, can't enter Fastboot

Whilst attempting to flash CM11, I ran into problems. Twrp was installed and successfully booted into recovery, but CM11 wouldn't boot, I kept getting the KF bootlogo.
In trying to fix it, I erased the boot and bootloader img files, but accidentally pulled the fastboot cable before I could reflash them.
The device now won't boot, even using the fastboot cable. I've tried holding the power switch for up to 2 minutes but nothing.
Is the device beyond saving?
thanks

Does the screen even turn on?

If it doesn't even turn on,I'm afraid it's hard-bricked.

thanks for your reply safinwasi, what does it mean though, is it totally beyond repair? I read about opening the case and shorting something out but think it was for a different model and the instructions seemed incomplete.
can anything be replaced to restore it?

just bumping this to see if there is anything that can be done with this device

If you have a steady hand, a soldering iron, and a USB sdcard reader, then it is salvageable.
