[Q] KFHD7 Bootloop - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I followed the guide linked below. Everything went swimmingly well until after step 3. I installed TWRP 2.6.3.1 and booted into recovery. After verifying that the custom recovery worked, I rebooted to system and am now stuck in a bootloop unable to get back into TWRP. The only difference from the tutorial was I used the 'reboot into recovery' option in FireFlash rather than rebooting and entering TWRP manually. Any help or ideas would be great! I have yet to flash a ROM and should still be Stock.

This happened because the newer updates to the is check the boot loader version, if it doesn't match the os it boot loops, just turn the device on and hold volume down until the logo turns blue and it should go into recovery again. If you can get into recovery you can push a custom ROM and gapps onto the kindle and flash it so you can use it again.

I am unable to enter recovery via that method. I've read a few other posts, describing issues similar to mine, I believe I am stuck in fastboot. The 'Kindle Fire' (not blue like it was during 1st boot) loading screen loops. I've tried dabbling using fastboot but havn't gotten very far. I can't connect via adb.

Hold the power button down for 20 seconds until the Kindle powers down. Now power it back one. What does the screen do?

Screen goes to the stock orange colored 'Kindle Fire' logo, stays for ~2-3sec then turns black and logo appears again.

I'm guessing you will need a fastboot cable to fix if you can't get into fastboot as is.

Yep, what Stunts said. Get a fastboot cord off eBay or just buy the tip here http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm or if you want to make one, the tutorial is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207122

Alright, I've purchased the cable, I'll read up on this thread and hopefully everything works alright when the cable gets here. Thanks for the help.

You're welcome. One more thing, you will need to download SDK so your ADB and fastboot commands can be recognized. Here is a video tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 Here is a video tutorial for the system restore tool as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-8lTMLCGfE It's a lot of information but you'll fare just fine.

[Q] Help Please Red Triangle

ok so I am extremely new to this, I rooted my kindle and that worked fine. I then used fire flash to get twrp in is and it booted into the TWRP recovery mode with no problem. I didnt have any ROMS on it yet just wanted to make sure it would boot into TWRP. So I tried to reboot the kindle and it was stuck in bootloop. I plugged in my factory fastboot cable and put it in fast beet. It is detected in my device manager as an adb device. I used KF first aid to try to restore it and now I am getting a red triangle saying kindle fire system restore. neither of the 2 options work though. When it boots it is the normal kindle orange and then goes to the blue logo then it gives me the triangle. Is there anything I can do to fix it.
Um I would put it in fast boot and restore the system image, I haven't used kffirstaide before, but if that's the screen im thinking of its asking you to either do a reset or boot normally, and neither are working so something it probably wrong with the system partition. So look try look for something about doing a system image restore if u can in kffirstaid. That's best I can guess at for now.

[Q] How to get custom rom onto device?

I'm finding it somewhat impossible to install a custom ROM on this currently useless device.

- Already tried it and the tablet goes into a bootloop once I restart, have to use factory cable to restore, apparently it doesn't work if your 7.30 or above

I tried this to downgrade it to 7.2.1 but once completed the tablet said it cant boot and has to do a restore, then it goes back to 7.30. There is a 7.2.3 option too but I never tried it.
I don't know what to do all I want is to get rid of this stupid crap rom but if I can't I'll just have to use a launcher... any ideas?
When you boot looped did the kindle fire logo turn blue?
The first link should work fine for installing twrp the issue with 7.3 is the boot loader and the entire reason you install the freedom boot part.
It should install twrp and at the same time most likely boot loop your device.
Just try using the key combo if twrp doesn't automatically load.
After installing twrp you need to already have a rom on your sd card and to immediately install it.
I would recommend to try the first link again.

Yessir I already tried it 2 times. First is when I first got my Kindle and had to wait a month for a fast boot cable. I tried again but still boot loops again on the Kindle Fire logo, really frusterating.

What version is your stock software? If you have the new refresh of the KFireHD (2013) then the 2nd bootloader exploit wont work for you.

Help with 2nd-bootloader setup, TWRP wont load

Hello everyone,
I own a Kindle Fire HD 7" (X43Z60) the one WITH camera in front.
Bought it from a online auction site used, it was on bootloop (reason i got it cheap)
Since i know electronics i was able to make my own Factory Cable using some useful guides on this forum, managed to get the KFHD7 on fastboot without issues.
Then I restored it to STOCK amazon os 7.2.3 using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 it there was no problem, the OS loaded, there was SuperUser and it was rooted.
Then I went to the Kindle Fire 2nd-bootloader + TWRP 2.7.0.0 for the Kindle Fire HD 7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 and followed all the steps.
downloaded files
checked md5 hash for all files
checked ADB working
checked fastboot working
flashed everything
I followed every single step and after finishing to flash all the files using fastboot, yet the KFHD7 does not get into TWRP, in the last step i reboot the device using: fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
It shows the KindleFire logo in yellow, and then blue as the OP of the guide states, but even while holding down Vol Up (far left button) from the yellow to blue logo, it wont load TWRP, in fact, it just stays on the blue KindleFire logo, i have left it for more than 30 mins yet it doesnt load up.
Using: fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery
Doesnt work either, it wont load up TWRP it will stay on the blue kindlefire logo.
Im still able to get into fastboot using the factory cable once again.
Redid all the steps once again from KFHD_SRT to 2nd Bootloader +TWRP, and still stuck in the blue KindleFire logo.
Any clues?
UPDATE:
Tried several versions of Hashcode's TWRP modified version goo(dot)im/devs/Hashcode/tate/
From TWRP 2.7.0.0 downwards until i reached 2.4.4.0 this one for my surprise, actually booted up after holding the VOL UP button for 1 MINUTE.
Then tried Hashcode ZIP updates to get TWRP to 2.7.0.0 and i face the same original problem, the Kindle is just stuck in the white/blue KindleFire logo for more than 10 minutes without reaction.
Using the ZIP updates for TWRP 2.5.0.0 and 2.6.3.0 boot the WTRP logo after a very long time, like 3+ Minutes but it just freeze on the TWRP logo, does nothing even after leaving it load for more than 15 minutes.
Any clues?

Help: Kindle Fire has a bootloop !!!!

Hello and good morning.
I am writing here, because I have a big problem. My Kindle Fire HD (first Generation) does not start any more. After an update (Cyanogenmod tate) I only get the yellow Kindle fire logo. And after few seconds the Kindle starts again. Then - after about five minutes - everything is dead. But if I do a reset I get the same situation. Unfortunately I get no connection to my device via the computer (tried Windows 7 64 bit and Ubuntu). With adb devices I cannot detect my Kindle. Is there a possibility to get into fastboot to install CWR etc.?
Help me, please
Herbert
So to clarify, the first time the logo comes up it freezes and then resets itself, followed after about 5 minutes the kindle just shuts itself off?? Also, you ask about getting into fastboot to install CWM. Do you not have a recovery installed? Such as CWM or TWRP?
I installed TWRP version 2.6
But I also cannot boot into the recovery (Power on & Vol +). Then nothing happens. I actually have ordered a fastboot-cable. Maybe I have success with this cable. Otherwise it is finished for me.
Yea try booting into recovery and flashing the system images to get back to stock. That's all i can think of since i'm not entirely sure what happened, either you got a bad download or your kindle just flipped out and essentially bricked itself.

Kindle Fire HD TWRP logo bootloop

Hey guys. Awhile back I installed cyanogenmod onto my parents kindle fire hd in order to give them a speedier experience since the stock rom was starting to get slow. It worked great! until my mom decided she did not like this OS anymore and tried formatting the device from within the OS. Now whenever I try to boot it up, it shows the red fire logo and then the blue fire logo but then goes into the TWRP loading screen. Here, it just keeps flashing the TWRP logo and won't let me do anything. The adb status is offline. I tried using the unbrick utility to no avail. Any suggestions?

You're going to need a fastboot cable. You can find them on eBay. Once you have that, you can push a new recovery image and rom to the kindle and flash it. Then tell your mom to read up on this site before tweaking!
