This is already known and it is recommended that you get a factory cable anyways, but thanks.

Why?

Why is it recommended to get a factory cable?

Because if you brick it to the point that its in boot loops or red boot loader screen that command is useless. The command is useful if your not bricked though.

Specifically owners of the Kindle Fire 2nd edition and Kindle Fire HD 7" should get fastboot cables.
The Kindle Fire HD 8.9" does NOT need a fastboot cable as that mode is automatically detected by the stock bootloader when a fastboot command is entered before turning the device on.

If you are not worried about bricking your device for a few week period while waiting for a fast boot cable that you may never need then this command is very useful, but if it has too be fixed yesterday then you should not attempt much without a fast boot cable. I built one for fun but there is no way I would have paid for one when I may never need it.

If you have a KFHD 7" I think you should invest in a fastboot cable anyway. I picked one up off eBay for $4.45 including shipping and it came in a few days. I didn't think I would need it until I ended up bricking my device when I tried to apply a wallpaper fix. Only used it a few times, but it helped me load CM10.1 with confidence.

I am stuck in the loading screen (kindlefire text) but not fastboot. I have tried both normal cables and a service cable. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
Now I just can't connect it with anything? Is it Texas Toast?? Can't get it out of the load screen and can't turn on fastboot. No adb services.

Hello, I have a 2nd Generation Kindle Fire with red screen when I connect in fastboot lights but the pc does not recognize. please help.

Holy crap! Thank the Gods! I was stuck in a strange bootloop that kept refreshing the Teamwin logo, and that's all it'd do. I was able to successfully install drivers and enable adb. I tried almost every solution (without a factory cable or fastboot capabilities) to reflash the recovery image. Thanks to this, I think I just got my kindle out of a bricked state. Will check back if successful.

Hi i have bricked my kindle fire hd 7 generation 2 tablet. It is not turning on....no changes on screen. Its heating up when connected to charger but not connecting to pc or showing any sign of life. I tried a fastboot cable also

Ugh, I'm the worst. Just bricked the Kindle Fire HD 7" (2013) 3rd Generation trying to Debloat apps which constantly were popping up in the background and crashing Star Wars Heroes two-three times per hour. I was side-loading those apps using "Amazon Fire Tablet Tool" from here at Rootjunky.com
Copied the files over using my regular plain old (NOT fastboot) USB cable and things sort of worked for the past month, downloading various APKs and installing from my Windows 10 Pro desktop pc. But now i'm dead in the water. Tried pressing and holding power & volume for 30-45 seconds to force a reset, but didn't seem to cure the issue. Still stuck at "kindle fire" load screen.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

[Q] Stuck on Kindle Fire Bootloop

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.

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.

Bootloop Between Blue and Yellow Kindle

I posted this late last night after spending hours troubleshooting so sorry for the lack of details.
I thought I followed the instructions to a t on this thread. The only step I skipped was backing up my data. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
When my Kindle Fire HD booted, it would loop between the regular Kindle Fire logo and the Blue logo. Eventually it would then go to TWRP. Once in TWRP I tried numerous times to use the Boot Option, Restore Option, and Recovery option to no avail. When I selected Bootloader, I would get the fastboot logo and it would stall there. I had to hard reset to get it to start again. Every time I connected my Kindle to the fastboot cable and entered the ADB or fastboot commens, it would say waiting on device. I also tried using the Factory Restore tool below and that did not work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
When I connected the Kindle Fire HD to the PC, sometimes it would show as Android Device and other times it showed as PVT-8 or something to that effect.
Here is where I am now. The Kindle Fire HD no longer can boot to TWRP. It just looks the normal Kindle Fire logo and it loops indefinitely. My PC can no longer see the Kindle Fire HD at all. Is this a true brick or do I still have a chance?
BTW, I have multiple micro USB cables for all the devices I use. I am pretty sure the one I am using is the factory. How can I confirm this is a fastboot cable?

How did you get back to an orange only boot loop, it was easy to fix when it was blue... If it only is orange you are probably going to need a fastboot cable. Oh and to satisfy you with an answer as to why it boot looped, its because the newer amazon os detects the older boot loader or twrp, and refuses to boot, so you have to have a ROM ready to flash on the sdcard ahead of time.

Thanks. Anyway to confirm that the cable I have is a fastboot cable? Also, how would I go about performing a repair if it is.

If its a fastboot cable you would know it because you bought it for such occasions and because as soon as you plug it into the kindle it says fastboot in big letters. Once you have it in fastboot use kindle fire first aid and try a system reflash, I'm sure it would boot up without a doubt if you used an older version of the Amazon os, like I think 7.4.2 or older, but I don't know what version kffa uses, so if it still doesn't boot after doing that, try using the kindle fire system restore tool.

Thank you. Much appreciated. I ordered one from Amazon but will see about making one myself.

Are you trying to boot into Stock Amazon OS? That's your issue. Download a ROM and proper Google Apps package and either put them on your SD Card by mounting USB Storage in TWRP, or sideload flash a ROM, then you'll boot without issue. Don't forget to factory reset and wipe /system beforehand! I had this same issue my first time.

Why option 1? That is a different version of the tablet. You want to run KFFA and select 'completely restore the KFHD 7 7.2.3' This should be #3 of KFFA.
So once you have the tablet in fastboot, just run KFFA and go from there. Some files will download and then KFFA will push them onto your tablet. After that, your tablet will be stock and you can root and remove OTA updates from there. Keep an eye on your computer screen as the script will tell you what's going on.

Kindle fire hd 7 stuck in fastboot

I have tried restoring with Kindle Fire First Aid, which didn't work. I am unsure what to do and was wondering if someone could help me.

Exactly what was the error kffa had?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app

It had no error, it acted like it worked but was still in fastboot mode.

I would try it again, did you do a system restore to one of the older versions listed or restored to a backup? If that stills doesn't work I would try the kindle fire system restore tool. It's in the android development section I believe.

That doesn't work either.

What exactly happens, because I need to know if its flashing successfully, if it is maybe you have a different kindle than the image you are trying to flash, that would explain why it still isn't booting. When you put it in fastboot, CD into the directory of either kfhdsrt or kffa, and run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and tell me what it outputs.

Does it boot into fastboot without you doing anything?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app

Yea. When it turns on it goes right to fastboot.

OK I think I took the wrong approach, your problem might be simpler than I thought it to be. Type "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot". I'm thinking the idme got set to boot loader if I think I know what I'm talking about.

After running the FireFlash app and rebooting the kindle it was stuck at the Kindle boot logo. i powered it off and later that night i tried turning it on and this time it boot into TWRP which was great but i made the mistake of not copying the rom file to the kindle before rebooting the first time so now rom to flash in recovery and the use mount feature int TWRP didn't work (couldn't pick up the kindle when connect to the computer) i then power it off again and the next day i tried to turn it on again and give it another try and this time it boots to Fastboot mode instead and thats were i am not. IDK how come it keeps changing
Edit.. ok now i got fastboot to work. i tried flashing TWRP recovery with fastboot. it looks like it works but when i reboot it goes back to fastboot mood. even if i hold down the volume up and power it still goes to fastboot mode..

[Q] Kindle fire hd wont boot

So I rooted a kindle fire hd 7"? on 7.6.4 successfully then used fireflash.
I rebooted as instructed and held the volume up button to get to recovery.
it just sits at the fireflash logo now and when i try to boot regular it takes my to a "kindle Fire System Recovery" screen where I choose to reboot or reset the device.
I already tried the reset option with no luck.
How do i fix this.

You didn't flash twrp, run a "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" on your PC, then plug the kindle in while its off. If it has 2nd boot loader on it and the fastboot drivers are working, your kindle should go into fastboot, from there you can restore with kffa and start over again. If the logo never turns blue you will need a fastboot cable.

Yea it is a command you have to run in a command prmopt, but you need a copy of the fastboot command though for you to be able to run that, you can pull a fastboot command out of one of the utilities on the forum like kindle fire first aid or system restore utility, or just download the android sdk for it.

would i navigate to the sdk folder like cd c:/program files/sdk/platformtools/ and then run the command?
Sorry for the newbie questions, this is my first kindle.
EDIT- I just ran it through there
command worked and says waiting for device but when i plugged the kindle in it did the usual orange logo to blue logo back to orange and then system recovery thing.
What did i do wrong?

I'm guessing your fastboot drivers aren't installed, when it goes into fastboot your kindle will say fastboot on the screen in a small logo. Download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere. Open the device manager and plug your kindle in while its off, at some point if you see a tate-pvt device show up you will have to right click it and hit update drivers and point it to the ones you extracted from the zip file in my signature. If your on windows 8 you will have to disable windows driver signature enforcement first though... Once the drivers are installed the fastboot command should work on the next attempt.

So.
I am in KFFA and selected the Kindle Fire HD 7" then the 7.2.3 option.
I skipped putting it into fastboot through KFFA since it is already there.
Then it tells me there are 3 files ready to flash so I type y and it does it's thing and tells me this,

I type y and hit enter.
It does it's thing again and reboots the kindle, it goes orange, blue, orange shining, fast black screen, orange logo then to this screen.

So I just reboot and hold the volume button and it comes up with this fastboot logo.

Well I just tried with the system restore utility and now I think it is worse.
Now it just flashed the orange kindle logo.
No blue logo or nothin.
Would this be because i was not using the original cable?
I didn't think it mattered that much since it was already going into fastboot and all.
Plus i rooted and installed CM9 on a nook with the same cable without issues.

Well because that failed you will now need a fastboot cable to fix it...

You should have had a fastboot cord before using system restore utility in the first place. Often things go wrong.
