Is this your app?
If you have ADB enabled on your Kindle, then yes, there may be a way. Open a command prompt/terminal/whatever, start the ADB server, and enter this command:
Code:
adb uninstall com.thinkyeah.apphider
Then reboot the Kindle and (hopefully) everything will be normal.
Okay, this actually doesn't work. I tried this using my emulator after hiding a couple of apps. So don't try this! But just out of curiosity, what exactly did you do?
i installed the "hide app-hide" i gave root permission with supersu and pretty much hid everything, thinking i was just hiding the app icon and not the app,
so all loaders, and all the kindle stuff
so now it boots up ok, kindle lock screen is fine, but when i unlock the unit i just get a black screen with the home, back, search and favorites button on the bottom...... :/
after approx 10 mins it reboots itself
P.S
if there is a way out of this, i will need complete noob instructions............... as, as you may have already guessed im completely new to this :/
I think easiest method is to just reflash the system partition, as long as the app doesn't run at startup to enforce the apps remain hidden, I don't think you will need to uninstall it first. Look for kindle fire first aid in the general section. It should be able to put your device into fastboot mode for you and reflash the system image.

Now that you've got that sorted, I would go here to enable recovery, so that in the future you can create and backup restore points.
ok it looks like it has now bricked, after getting the kdhd 7 re flashed and working as a normal kindle, i used the KFFirst Aide tool to root and install google play/market, everything fine, turned kindle off went and ate, came back and turned it on, now won't boot :/
it goes into the "kindle fire system recovery" but will not reset to defaults it starts to but then reebots and same thing happens

Hi all
After I rooted my kindle fire I noticed that I cant access kindle settings anymore. When I try the more button the screen does nothing. I also noticed that I cant unable and enable the wireless connection. I installed Golauncher HD an I tried those settings...not working also. I cant find a solution since i don't have the option of resetting to factory settings. I then unrooted the device but with no help, even more it seams that I cant root anymore.Now it seams I'm not rooted and I cant uninstall golauncher anymore.Maybe you guys give me some ideas...
Besides rooting... what else did you do? These errors wouldn't come from just rooting

Don't know
Well I don't think I did something else ...Before rooting everything was working fine. I tried installing some launchers but with no success
Sounds like you need to restore back to stock. If you don't have a fast boot cable now is the time to get one.
You COULD try to do a factory reset by booting into recovery. But there is a possibility of brick when you do that.
Without the ability to gain root, there is little you can do from within the OS

I use rom toolbox to reboot into recovery using the reboot tool on the first page. You can also do it in the terminal with a "reboot recovery" command.

I rooted the Kindle Fire HD, and edited the setting.db to change the mock-location, but messed it up. After reboot, I can not access the setting. How can I reset it back to factory setting or get a copy of settings.db? Thanks.
I recently decided to restore my rooted Kindle Fire HD 7." The kindle starts just fine, and displays the normal kindle fire boot screen. However, instead of the usual Amazon start-up and device registration screen, it gave me the default Android startup. However, everytime I hit start, the setup wizard ends up crashing. I had the Google Play store installed before the unroot. I have not messed around with custom roms, or anything like that. Windows sees the Kindle just fine, however it doesn't register under ADB. Is there anything I can do? I do not have a factory cable, nor can I find where to get one.

Where did you find instructions for the restore? I need to restore one to stock too.

Also, the device doesn't show up when I try fastboot.
Hi,
I was hoping someone could please help?
I bought my Mum a Kindle Fire HD 7" (2012 model) and wanted to root it for her. I also have a 2012 Kindle Fire HD (2012 again) and have rooted, TWRP it and installed CM10.2 on it and everything is fine.
Now on my Mum's, after reverting to 7.2.3 from 7.4.6 in order to root, it is stuck in portrait mode. The screen is not locked in this mode and a clean boot (holding power button down for 20 seconds or so and powering up again) doesn't fix it.
There also seems to be a bright spot in the upper left hand side of the screen, which is more visible when the brightness is up.
The other thing is this model was one with the 'Special Offers' installed. I backed the dtcp_apk file, but have lost it trying to resolve the issues.
So, I was hoping somebody out there, by some chance, had a copy of this file so if I need to return the Kindle Fire, I can restore it to default.
I have no idea what could have happened to cause the landscape issue as I have flashed mine with various ROMs without issue.
Thank you for any help.
Phill
Edit: Have flashed 7.4.3 from Amazon, and the screen rotation is behaving ok now. Weird!
Still bothered about the bright spot on the screen and still require the dtcp_apk should I need to return it to Amazon.
Thanks!
The dtcp apk should be there if you reflashed the os, its one of the files flashed to the system partition in an update or reflash.

Thanks for the reply.
I was just about to update the post, as, indeed the dtcp_apk is back after the installation of 7.4.6. I had thought that it would be re-applied when the update was completed. Just glad to see that it was.
Still can't figure out why landscape stopped working using 7.2.3 though. Checked using the fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product command on both the Kindles and they are both the same Tate model.
Thanks again for your reply!
Hi everybody
I've been running a rooted kindle fire hd for about a year with cyanogenmod and no problems. Tonight I downloaded the latest nightly update installed it with TWRP and re booted fine.
I kept getting google play services errors so decided to factory reset and clean everything up. Now I cannot get past the teamwin boot logo.
I see the orange kindlefire, blue kindlefire, then the teamwin logo flashes every 5 seconds.
Any ideas on how to recover this?
Regards
KP

i have the same problem and there seems to be no way to get the kindle in any state to do anything, all I've found out so far is that its stuck trying to factory reset and there should be a way to reverse this, i hope someone can give us a solution or i might as well call my kindle a paperweight.

Thanks for letting me know, I purchased a factory cable today. Seems to be recognised by my laptop, but the kindle doesnt go into fastboot. There seems to be a few people with this problem. I've not seen any help offered yet. I'm not holding out much hope, doesn't seem any way to communicate with it.
Where did you get your info?

i've found out a lot about bootloop issues and in most cases it seems like the first thing needed to fix the problem is a factory cable, i didn't get mine yet so i can't see if it will work but since your pc can see your kindle now you can try out kindle fire first aid 4.1.88-beta.
let me know if it works for you.

I'd already tried that. Seems because the kindle is not fully booting up then kindle fire first aid doesnt recognise it. Unless what i've been sent is actually a normal usb, then I dont see any way of sorting this. I'll wait to see if you have better luck

OK I may have cracked it here. I am no expert ( I wouldnt be in this mess if I was) i was playing with the adb commands with the factory cable connected.
Typed:
ADB devices
showed a device called D025A0A024540SF0 recovery
Typed:
ADB Reboot-Bootloader
Kindle fire boots into FASTBOOT screen. YEY ME!!!
Now i'm not really sure where to go, never used fastboot before.
After using kindlefire recovery tool, doing a wipe then option 2 my kindle booted up into TWRP.
I tried rebooting from here and now I get a flashing kindlefire logo.
occasionally i manage to get it into fastboot with the factory cable, but it doesnt stay there long enough to do anything. I hoping this is maybe a power issue so I'm leaving it plugged in overnight to attempt to charge it.
hope this info helps you, I feel like I was at a point to simply re flash a rom but messed up by rebooting from twrp.
I did it!!!!
Managed to get it to stay in fastboot mode and ran kindlerecover tool again. now have a working kindle running APEX launcher. Have to read up tomorrow and get cyanogenmod back.

Grats i'm glad it worked out for you man, i'll try out the same when i get my cable lol i ended up buying a new tablet thinking no one would solve this problem and now i just may have two if i get mine working also if you try loli pop again make sure you install gapps for it, that was my first mistake that led to me messing up my kindle the second being the factory reset, the devs should either disable or warn people not to try it since your screwed once you do anyways i'll give an update once i try to recover my kindle, cheers.
Hey all I have a problem that is driving me insane, my wife has a kindle fire hd7 3rd generation and it was getting slow and not running the best so i performed a restore on it. This kindle has not been rooted (until now) or modded in any way save for sideloading google chrome using an apk. After the restore, I attempted to setup the system for her again, the first screen is the select a language screen, I select English (usa) and click continue, it flashes over to the desktop of the kindle and loops right back to pick a language again. I can stop it by quickly pressing apps after I hit continue. I went into setting and selected the language, connected to wifi and registered with my amazon account, done everything you would normally do and when i press the home screen it just loops right back to the language select again. Ive tried 3 recoverys since then, including using the vol - power way and still the same problem. I tried the kindle first aid kit and tried wiping user and data but it did not help. I cant enable fastboot or i would install cm12 on it if nothing else. She doesnt want it modded just working but at this point im lost. Ive followed every guide to enable fastboot so i can flash it with a factory restore rom using the first aid kit but to no avail. Any help is much appreciated, if you can get rid of this language screen that would be the perfect solution.
