im a complete newb to fixing mobile devices and my friend gave me a messed up kindle fire hd.He said he screwed around with the os files and deleted one and he doesnt not know what one it was and when i try to boot it tries to boot but kindle file system recovery comes up. Then it asks me to reboot or factory reset i have tried both multiple times to no avail.I have a fastboot cable so that isnt a issue.Can somebody help me with a step by step or link to one.

You will need that fastboot cord.
Here is a system restore tool. I prefer to push the files manually but it will run as a tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
When you turn the Kindle Fire HD 7 on, push up on the volume rocker for three seconds until the screen shows the blue TWRP screen and release rocker and enter TWRP. (you said it boots into recovery?)
If this is the case, you don't need to do a full system restore. You can push a ROM the zips onto TWRP. Get them from the system restore tool.
If you have questions, feel free to ask. The tablet is recoverable unless something wrong is flashed.

Nope, it has to be a factory restore using your fastboot cord. I will list instructions.

First thing is to download the SDK package and set the environment up. Here is a great video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw This will allow you to use fastboot command which is what you will do to push the images you need onto the bootloader.
To make sure your computer issue fastboot commands, open up a comand prompt as an administrator and type "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" with no quotes and it should return Tate-xxx-xxx. If you don't get that response, do not move forward.
Once your at this point, download this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 and either use it per the instructions or extract the files and CD from inside the folder and manually flash the 3 images via fastboot issuing these commands
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot "image name here" include .img at end"
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery "recovery name here" include .img at end
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system "system image name here" include .img at end
Now give some time as the system image is quite large
when done, type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
Profit

KFHD Stuck in TWRP

Okay, I know this question has been asked quite a few times, but I'm really stuck here.
I was running CM10.2 on my KFHD, when I wanted to revert back to Stock OS for a while so I could test something I was working on. I created a full backup in TWRP so that once I was done I could go back. I then proceeded to wipe (factory reset) and flash the 7.4.3. I then rebooted. My Kindle won't get past the 2nd bootloader. It only show's the blue logo. I thought, "Okay, something's not right, I'll just restore from a backup. So I rebooted into TWRP, and proceeded to restore, only to be graced by big red letters that said, "Restore Failed." I rebooted the bootloader, putting it into fastboot mode, and tried to restore from some boot, recovery, and system images I had lying around on my hard drive somewhere. Still no dice. My Kindle just sits there, refusing to boot past the 2nd boot loader.
Any ideas out there?

You can try to adb sideload a factory image in TWRP if you have not tried that. Otherwise it's a factory reset.
Seems the flashing of the images did not take or you would not have the 2nd bootloader anymore. So first, check your drivers and make sure they are installed right. Also make sure you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe in the folder you are CD'ing from.
What I would do is download this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 and CD from inside that folder and push those images. I know that process will/should work.
Double check and make sure you have fastboot communication with your computer fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar
then from inside the folder hold shift and right click on mouse choosing open a command prompt here
Then type these commands
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot "image name here" include .img at end"
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery "recovery name here" include .img at end
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system "system image name here" include .img at end

I've got the correct drivers. I've had them for a couple of months--they're the ones from @stunts513. And Windows driver enforcement has been disabled for a while now, because signature enforcement is pretty annoying.
And I can't use the system restore tool. The download is just too big. My internet is just one step above dialup, just enough to watch videos on YouTube and "Doctor Who." A 1.1 GB file is just too big, and the script without the images is no longer available.
Still, thank you for responding.

[SOLVED] Please Help Me Help Myself

I finally decided to root my daughters KFHD. I said, "Dont worry once Im done and install a custom ROM itll be 10x better than before." She reluctantly said okay only because shes seen me do the same thing to every phone and tablet Ive ever had. I knew from looking around and doing research here on XDA that there was a good chance something could go wrong and I could end up bricking her kindle. Ill cut to the chase.....Something went wrong with the install of the 2nd bootloader/recovery. I ended up with the lovely RSOD. So I proceded to make a fastboot/factory cable. Now Ive gotten rid of the RSOD but the kindle is stuck in bootloop and eventually itll go into the stock recovery saying blah blah blah kindle wont boot. Ive tried the factory reset option to no avail. One thing I find odd is this is the 2nd type of bootloop Ive seen, the 1st one would show the kindle logo for only a few seconds then it would do like the CRT animation does and bootloop from there, now tho, it actually shows the entire bootanimation, I know this because I can see the gradient color change that goes across the kindle fire logo. At this point Ive flashed everything from hashcodes thread, the 7.2.3 bootloader with the freedom 7.4.6 img and the twrp recovery several times. Ive flashed 2.7 and 2.3 recoveries along with a 7.2.3 boot img and 7.2.3 system img together with no luck. So heres where I need someone from within this wonderful open source community to help meh. Gimme a quick rundown of the kindle boot process with the 2nd bootloader including what boots when and where it boots from. Also when using fastboot whats the correct order to flash what? Should I only be trying to flash a recovery now? I shouldnt need to reflash the bootloader right? what about the boot and system img's do I flash those? This is where I need the help. Thanx in advance for taking the time to read my short novel and for helping me. Oh ya Im on linux so i havent been able to use any of the tools that are available for Winblows.

OK, from what I know you didn't install the stack override in the system partition. That's why its bootlooping.

Thank you for the reply....after all the reading I've done I was kinda thinking that may be my problem. Is it possible that I did originally push it to my sdcard, then sometime in between then and now I erased it with the fastboot erase data command? There is no way to push anything to sdcard with fastboot, right?

Well from what I can tell the tablet is burnt. I will post pics after I smash it with a hammer and run it over with my car.

Burnt? Nononoo. Don't waste a device that is still "working". It is just bootlooping. Send it to a dev instead of breaking a good device.

No need to do that lol. Get yourself a fastboot cable and use the SRT or KFFA to restore system

I made a fastboot already. Correct me if I'm wrong but both tools are only for windows ,right? And if the tools could do it then why couldn't I just do it from the command line in my Linux OS. The GUI tools for windows are essentially scripts that automatically run the commands for a person instead of the user manually typing them. From what I gathered I need to adb push stack /sdcard/ but all I have is fastboot commands. FWIW I downloaded the stock 7.2.3 Amazon OS tried to flash that....nothing. Tried unzipping it to flash imgs inside and nothing. tried various recoverys with no luck. Thanx for the reply's, I appreciate it a lot.

Ok,let's get started. Download SRT from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33156486. You have to download version 7.2.3. Then,extract the zip to a folder. I'll use ~/SRT for this guide. Next,cd into the SRT folder and cd again to the images folder. At this point,you must have adb and fastboot configured. If not,run the following commands:
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
Note:I'm running Linux Mint,so these should work on any Debian based distro. Open a command line in the images folder and test by running adb or fastboot. If it shows a lot of text,it's running properly.
Next,enter this command on the prompt:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
It'll show "waiting for device". Next,plug in the Kindle WITH factory cable. It should boot into fastboot. If it doesn't,your cable is damaged. Buy a new one.
Next,run the following commands one after another. Beware,the system command will take A LONG time so don't worry.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 erase cache
fastboot -i 0x1949 erase userdata
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img
After this,use this command to get out of fastboot:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
NOTE:You have to unplug the cable immediately after entering the command or else it'll boot into fastboot again
All done! Your tablet is restored! If you need help flashing the 2nd bootoloader and recovery,I'll be glad to help

That did it!!! :highfive::highfive::highfive: Thank you!!! I thought i had already tried flashing all the img's from 7.2.3 together but obviously I didnt. I think i got to worked up and frustrated and forgot my #1 rule "KISS" If you feel up to it I'd appreciate a rundown on the 2nd bootloader and recovery process. Thanks again.

No problem mate! Trust me,once we're done with it,both you and your daughter are gonna LOVE it.
OK,basically when the tablet turns on,it runs a binary called the u boot. Now this is Amazon stuff and can't be tampered with. But we have the source code due to GPL and what we do know is that a part in the code allows us to flash unsigned third party kernels,therefore a 2nd bootloader. But it can't just be any boot image,it must be patched with the Amazon u boot AND the stack override. Not only that,you must also have installed the stack override in a specific byte address of the system partition. Once we've done that, we can safely flash a recovery and thus,get the ability to install custom ROMs. Oh,another thing. Amazon patched the u boot on versions higher than 7.2.3,so the stack will cause it to crash and show the Red Screen if it's not 7.2.3

KFHD7 Tate Bootloop

Hi,
I updated my good old Kindle Fire HD 7 (tate) to cm 12.1 and because of problems with the Play store I made a factory reset. Since then it is in a bootloop showing only the blue teamwin screen with some flickering about every 5-6 seconds.
As I read here (http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...p-after-factory-reset-cyanogenmod-12-1-a.html), I need to use fastboot.exe to start a new recovery but... fastboot does not recognize the device.
What is working?
adb status-window shows
...Android Debug Bridge
State: unknown (or recovery)
adb reboot revovery - reboots the device
adb reboot bootloader - reboots the device showing a "fastboot logo"
fastboot devices
< waiting for device > / or just no reaction
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
TATE-PUT-08
Okay, after some research I updated my driver (as seen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909) and they seem to be installed properly but nothing changes to the behaviour shown above.
What to do?
And thanks a lot!
My systems: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit or Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

..getting creative, I tried
fastboot -i0x1949 boot philz_touch_6.48.4-tate.img
creating boot image...
creating boot image - 8343552 bytes
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 2.817s]
booting...
OKAY [ -0.000s]
finished. total time: 2.817s
..and it reboots into the same teamwin splash screen boot loop
...with adb status-window saying "recovery"

Ok, I had the courage to flash and tate is working again:
1. adb reboot bootloader (then in Fastboot mode)
2. fastboot -i0x1949 flash recovery philz_touch_6.48.4-tate.img
3. fastboot -i0x1949 boot philz_touch_6.48.4-tate.img
4. two reboots and cm 12.1 is working

Same problem! PLEASE HELP!
I'm stuck with THE EXACT same problem.
Please tell me how to go about this step-by-step?
I hope you reply asap..

I bricked my kindle by using FireFlash to get into recovery, and I didn't check the box for the bootloader. Now I am stuck in a boot loop. Every time I use a command in adb, it says it can't find a device. I have tried with a factory cable and with a regular USB. I tried updating the driver through the Device Manager, but it can't find a driver for my kindle. I found a few drivers to choose from on a website (I would post the link, but it won't let me), but none of them seemed to work. Is there something I am doing wrong?

whether the tablet says fastboot or teamwin, it will not start fastboot -i0x1949 flash recovery philz_touch_6.48.4-tate.img, it will just say waiting for device...

hiii
Same situation , no solution until now

In device managment, set to see the hidden devices, must appear as TATE-PVT-8, depending the version of Windows you're using must set the signed drivers to disable.
Then update the driver to tate with this controllers.
And use fatbootmode, can use: KFHD_SRTool_v1.2 to revert to completly stock.
Hopes works for you.

Kindle Fire HD Stuck on flash logo screen

I wanted to install Gapps to my Kindle since many of the apps including the web browser are coming up as unsupported. I have rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and installed TWRP. When I rebooted my kindle to enter the recover mode, it got stuck at logo screen.
At first, when it was logo was flashing if I plugged it in, ubuntu give an error message "unable to mount Jem PVT Prod 04". I discovered that holding the volume up button made the screen go blank but not off. You can plug the kindle in and Ubuntu will recognize the kindle and allow you to access the internal storage.
How can I fix and reboot the Kindle from Ubuntu?
I researched tons of solutions but most of them require Windows which I don't run or I tried the instruction and they don't work or our incomplete.

I received a fastboot cable from Amazon today. I'll see how it works. Any advice would be appreciated.

Okay, I fixed the problem with the Fastboot Cable. Here's the steps that I did to fix it. It was loading Twrp or the bootloader so I reinstall them. I have Android SDK on my computer and my Kindle is rooted.
Step 1.
The correct twrp was difficult to find. This forum offered a site to go to but I found the site was corrupted and the website was trying to download a virus.
I found the twrp and bootload file here.
rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-convert-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet/
I placed the files in my android/sdk/platform-tools. (kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.3.img & kfhd8-twrp-2.6.0.0-recovery.img)
I typed into terminal "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" without parenthesis. At the waiting for device command, I plugged in the Kindle with the Fastboot cable and held the Volume up button to go into fastboot mode.
I opened the android/sdk/platform-tools and right click the mouse and hit open in terminal
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.3.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-2.6.0.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
From the reboot, hit the volume up to get into twrp.
At this point, I still could go into the kindle so I thought the operating system may be corrupted.
Step 2
In twrp, I backed up the system. and rebooted into twrp.
In twrp, I hit wipe and rebooted back into twrp.
I downloaded CyanogenMod and Gapps to my platform-tools folder again.
rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-convert-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet
Step 3
I couldn't access the internal drive so I used ADB to put the files on my kindle.
Here's a video of the instructions I used.
youtu.be/NaK5OxUeDKM
Open the support document for Ubuntu instructions.
First, open terminal in the Platform Tools file and type ADB Devices. When I pushed the two files, his instructions say to use command sudo ./adb-linux push filename /sdcard/. This didn't work. I used "./adb push [filename /sdcard/." without the quotes and it worked.
Step 4
Enter twrp and install the CyanogenMod and Gapps. Reboot
This got my operating system up and running perfectly.
Now bad for a complete Noob.
