[Q] KFHD Boots to Kindle Fire Logo then shuts down. Possible Brick?

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

Amazon Kindle Fire HD Stuck In Fastboot Mode HELP !!!

Hi,
I moved into a new house yesterday and when un packing I found an Amazon Kindle Fire HD that was basically left behind I went to plug it in to my phone charger Micro USB and it began too boot up but then stopped at the Fastboot logo with Kindle Fire under it. Ive never had a Kindle Fire before so not really sure what to do tried connecting it to my Laptop but nothing shows up i.e installs etc. I don't know if it would be bricked or a software fault and tried Power and Volume Up and Down to see if there is a recovery system but they isn't.
I hope one of you guys can help
Thanks

It doesn't show up at all on the device manager with a triangle next to it listed as Tate,jem, otter,or otter 2 does it?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app

when i plug my kindle in the pc it does show tate-pvt-08 in device manager and the kindle is stuck in fastboot mode.. any advice?

Right click the device, hit update drivers, download the drivers in my signature, and extract them, point the update device window to where you extracted my drivers and let it install them, if you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first. Once the drivers are installed I would suggest trying a simple
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
that might kick it out of fastboot. Tell me how it goes.

tried the driver but now in device manager the kindle has that yellow triangle and fastboot is stuck on waiting for device

Yellow triangle probably means the driver is still not installed...

Hello! First of all, i'm kind of a noob as far as kindle development issues concern, but i managed to install custom roms before (in fact, my brick problema began when i tried to upgrade to CM11 from goo.im). I am really desperate right now because i followed all the instructions in several threads but nothing helped me so far.
Here is my situation:
My kindle fire hd 7" is stuck at Fastboot mode after my failed attempt to upgrade from CM10.1 to CM11. My computer recognizes it as Tate-PVT-08 but it's not accepting any fastboot commands, except for "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot". When i run this command, my kindle actually "reboots" but goes into fatboot mode again and again. When in "cmd", it doesn't recognize the devices either, but when run command "getvar" shows Tate-PVT-08. In conclusión, i want to know if there is a problema with the instalation of cmd in my PC, or if you can recommend any tool to restore my Tablet, even if it means going back to stock OS.
Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Are you using a fastboot cord? If so that's why. Use that command and then pull the cord from the computer as soon as it restarts.

Thank you for taking your time to help me out, appreciate it.
I changed the cord because i realized that i'm already in fastboot mode, so don't need fastboot cable. When i run the command, the Kindle boot logo lasts for few more senconds than with fastboot cable, but still goes into fastboot mode again. Also tried pushing all posible buttons (At blue kindle ffire logo) to reach recovery mode but failed. I'm using Kindle Fire First Aide but doesn't seems to work either.
Any toughts? Thank you.

If you see the blue TWRP there may be hope without a doing a factory reset. Press the power button for 30 seconds and power down the KFHD7. Now hit power to turn the Kindle on and as soon as you see the yellow Kindle boot animation hold the volume rocker up and continue to hold it there until until you see the blue TWRP boot animation and continue pressing for three seconds, then release. Do you boot into TWRP? If you see the blue TWRP boot animation you should have it.

If you can get into TWRP that might be to your advantage because you can adb.sideload a ROM onto TWRP flash it and go on with it from there. KFFA has been down off and on. It was once a great tool but it needs updated and the Drop Box account associated with it is down at the momnent.

Mr LinearEquation, thank you so much for your advice.
Following a different thread i managed to boot into TWRP by flashing images of "Freedom Boot" and TWRP itself via fastboot commands. Now in theory i can flash a .zip of any ROM but the thing is that i cannot load zips to the Tablet. even though it's recognized now as KINDLE instead of Tate-PVT-08 in the Device Manager, i'm not able to see the kindle as a Pop-up window where you can drag-and-drop files to the Tablet.
The question is: How do i push a ROM via adb as you mentioned in your previous message? Do you know which file do i need and the proper command to push it?
Kindly Regards.

Help! Mine was stuck in fastboot. When I hit the power button it boots up automatically in fastboot with any device attached to it. Then after a few sec it goes off.

Have you looked at this page? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 Maybe the unbricked section (part 6 of first page) can help in particular the SRT tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 .

Thank you for the reply. Well, my first problem is the kindle doesn't stay on fastboot. It shuts down after a second.

recovery
Hi I locked mine up also and used a program called
Demo Mode Restore. Basically you shut off your kindle and unplug the charge/data cable run the program and click enter once then says plug you kindle in and when it boots the program catches it before it starts up and all you have to do is follow the directions and when it restarts its like when you first took it out of the box
You`ll have to do a search for Demo Mode Restore
Hope this help. God Bless )

Boot into Fastboot mode und screen turned black

Hey,
i booted my Kindle with FireFlash into Fastboot Mode. After that i wasn't able to boot normaly. The Device always boote into Fastboot.
Then I tryed to reboot with the command fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot.
Now i have the problem that the Kindle boot into Fastboot for 2 Seconds. Then the screen turned black. Windows loose and get the connection in turns.
Any Idea? :/

I'm guessing your kernel needs to be reflashed if it's going into fastboot repeatedly, though I was a bit confused from the typo the rest of what happened.

i just solved the Problem with the Fastboot... Now i see the Kindle Fire boot logo und than the device turns off and on and off and on...theres nothing i can do x.X

OK I'm guessing you need a fastboot cable to fix it at this point so you can attempt to reflash it again.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 7 Tate Bricked / Device stuck on non animated KF Logo

Hey Guys,
I just bricked my KFHD 7 Tate.
When I turn it on now the device is stuck at the non animated Kindle Fire logo and it stays for hours.
This all happened when I wanted to restore the original OS and remove CM11.
Inside TWRP I chose to flash the original OS and formatted the phone afterwards....
Since then I'm stuck with this non animated logo.
When I plug in the device into my pc/mac doesn't matter. The device is not recognized by adb devices.
And fastboot command says <waiting for device> all the time.
I guess I wiped everything including TWRP.
So what do you think, is it a total brick or any chances with the factory cable?
Kind regards
Stan

Fastboot cable should work, if it doesn't then try its probably just a driver issue hopefully, I would check for any USB composite devices in the device manager and check the details tab on their properties and see if any of them have a vid of 1949, if they do then uninstall the device and search ng or new hardware. Do all this while in fastboot. If that still doesn't work I advise booting a ubuntu live os and seeing if a "lsusb" lists a lab device or not.

Thanks. Fastboot cable ordered, but I guess it takes a bit to ship to Germany.
I will try what you said and in worst case boot the ubuntu live os.

Some help I stuck on the 'Kindle Fire' logo bootloop (tate x43z80

Dear specialists from XDA:
I'm from Brazil, and I bought a Kindle Fire HD 7 (MODEL x43z80 'tate') with the last original Fire OS, and the Amazon universe don't have a lot of things in Brazil, so I decided to put a Cyanogenmod based on Marshmallow. My guide is the Tekify Channel, and I got it.
But, after a soft reset, because I want to give a gift to my wife, I have the TWRP bootloop issue.
After a 1 week from search in XDA and a lot of English tutorials in youtube, today I have the kindle in stucked in the 'Kindle Fire' logo bootloop.
So, I search here in XDA wha I have to do, and I stucked.
I don't have a fastboot cable, in Brazil Amazon sold just the basic kindle e-reader, and I want the Kindle Fire good again... :crying:
Someone help me? I try ALL the aplications here, like: KFHD unbrick, Kindle Fire 1st Aid, but I1m stucked in the Kindle Fire logo.
I can't access the ADB or Fastboot, because the computer don't recognize the KFHD, and I can't access the TWRP or any screen, I tried a lot of times the command POWER+VOL DOWN, but I return to the 'Kindle Fire' logo.
Thanks for the help.
J.C.

From powered down condition, press power button, then hold POWER-UP, until blue fire logo appears and continue to hold for a couple of seconds, then release. It should go into TWRP. From there, ADB should work. If not, try powering up while connected to PC with USB cable. Hopefully it will boot into fastboot mode. I use linux because windows has too many problems with drivers.

hi,
i have Kindle Fire HD 7" after some issues i try to flashing, voip all data and delete backup etc, my WTRP V.2.7.8.0 changed to v.2.6.3.1 and stuck in kindle fire logo and not connected to pc or not show storage in my computer.
please help me and restore my kindle fire tate. thanks a lot (i am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)

Can you boot into TWRP? You need to update to at least V2.8.7.0. I'm running V3.0.0.0 but I can't find the download link anywhere. If you're in TWRP 2.6.3.1 try going the the boot menu and reboot to bootloader. This should put you in fastboot. Next, connect to PC via USB. Type fastboot devices to see if it's working. Now fastboot flash recovery /(path and filename to TWRP 2.8.7.0) Once you have the newer version installed, remove usb cable and reboot to twrp and make sure mtd is enabled in the mount menu. You sould be able to connect usb cable and drag and drop your chosen ROM and gapps into the internal storage where you can install them with TWRP.

Make sure USB 2.0 or less on PC port. Try a different cable. Try another Android device just to make sure everything works on the computer.

Kindle show in my laptop but connect see pics.

Try installing mtp USB many times but not successfully installing in my laptop.

you need a newer version of twrp. If fastboot won't work, I don't know how you can flash a new recovery or bootloader.

The last thing to try would be to update adb and fastboot from Google or the Ubuntu repositories. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
Try: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Try with root: sudo su
I have never used a fastboot cable. It hasn't been necessary but it may be in your case.
