I'm Bricked Help

I can put myself into fastboot. I can see my KFTT. The bootloader is broken, the recovery is broken, the boot image is broken. I am in need of drastic measures. There has to be someone that has figured this out. There must be a hardware way to access the storage as it is flash memory. Has someone figured this out? please help. Already tried firstaide I have tried everything on xda please help.

I can get to fastboot but it wont detected fastboot. It just sits there on the fast boot screen. I'm hoping for something a little more drastic.

Type "fastboot devices" when your device is in fastboot mode and is connected to the computer. If you see no line of crazy numbers and characters, you can't use fastboot mode, in which case, you have a fancy paperweight. Unless you're in warranty, in which case, contact Amazon for an exchange.

I dont think

Just attempted "fastboot devices" nothing said no internal or external command. Should i do this from adb shell? Where should i do this from? How should i run it? Maybe I'm doing it all wrong. Also they will be able to see that it was my fault since i have a blue Kindlefire logo....

Type "fastboot devices" and hit Enter.
You have the 2nd-bootloader installed? That won't do. You're stuck with the paperweight.

If you can still get the device into fastboot then you still have ways to fix your device. [Fastboot devices] will always show nothing. Use this cmd:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
If nothing happens then you just have a driver issue. If you get a response saying "tate-something-something" Then you can proceed to using fastboot to reflash your backups or a backup.

You are amazing

My kindle is brick,too
My kindle fire hd 7" is bricked 3 hours ago. I was trying to install 2nd boot loader and twrp recovery for the first time. i made one mistake. I didn't check one box of fireflash1.1. So, after reboot, my kindle is showing red screen. i want to know whether i can get to fastboot with fastboot cable(i don't have one right now but i'll order or make one my own). Also, i want to know how you brick your kindle.

Yep, you can get to fastboot with a factory cable. I haven't used fire flash so I'm not sure what this red screen is, but the factory cable should work.

unable to get KFHD 7" into fastboot

Hi all,
I had rooted my KFHD7 some time ago, and wanted to try a custom ROM now they're available.
I was following seokhun's tut here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
at section 7 - getting into fastboot without factory cable, I decided to try it just in case I needed to.
on entering the code it correctly comes up with <waiting for device> and stays there. The KFHD simply boots up as a USB device.
I have Android SDK installed, and get full list of options when entering both 'adb help' and 'fastboot help'
Does anybody have any advice or help in order for me to get into fastboot?
I do NOT have a factory cable
Device is showing as v7.2.3
I can follow close instruction very well
I have searched for this problem extensively, but if I missed it please point me the right way

That command "fastboot getvar product" is more so aimed at 8.9” kindle fire's from what I know. That command doesn't work for me on my 7" model, but I heard it does on the 8.9" model. You can always try that other command over adb, but that's useless if you brick it.

@stunts513
I was trying the full code posted on the tut (fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product)
can you put your KFHD7 into fastboot at all?
I feel like this is probably something really obvious I missed, but will not proceed with the custom ROM unless I know I can fastboot if I need to.
If anyones a complete wizz with this please chip in - I am prepared to start from scratch if need be

Once bricked you can only get it into fastboot with a fastboot cable, if u want to test out fast boot for some reason just use a mobile terminal or run an adb shell on Ur PC with this command "su -c 'reboot bootloader'"

Thx stunts513,
I took the plunge and went ahead anyway and twrp is installed fine :victory:

You need to flash a system image to it to fix it, unfortunately I don't know where to get hold of a 2013 one, but it should be fixable. The 2012 images wouldn't be compatible so don't bother with trying them.

You would run something like this

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.img
but you will need the images and the fastboot command.

Thanks again man, but can you please provide the images and the commands, cant seem to find them anywhere. when you mean run the code, you mean using terminal right? sorry for all the hassle, kinda new to this whole rooting thing.
ps; will i be able to use KFFAIDE to help me? everytime i run a command, it says "device not reccognized" and similar quotes.
thanks mate for the help!

As far as I know kffa doesn't support the new HD model, and I don't know where to get images for it. If someone else with a rooted device would simply just dd a copy of their system partition and host it, it would be very useful... And yes you run it from a terminal/command prompt.

So that means I would have to wait a while for someone to do a copy? that would be in, say a few months right?

You tried reflashing the bootloader? If you haven't then try that, but please remember to verify the bootloaders md5sum before flashing it or your kindle could end up worse off(it wouldn't power on).

Anyways i thought at first that was a signature but if this kindle is indeed a 2013 model then your first problem was attempting to isntall 2nd bootloader and a custom rom, becuase thats not possible on the 2013 model, also would explain why srt and kffa wouldnt work, their images are incompatible, so before i post any further instructions, please tell me whether i am correct because if its a 2013 model i think i can help you fix it thanks to someone posting the images recently but you are going to have to manually fix this, not too difficult.

im being told in another thread in xda it is indeed a 2013 model they our also saying to me about finding the images http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888&page=325

Someone just posted the images today if I remember correctly, think he was going to verify their md5sum or something first so I might wait. This is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2650596
I would wait till they confirm they are all good before using them but I doubt it would make the device any worse since it isn't flashing the bootloader or anything, just the boot and system partitions mainly. I might modify the SRT script to use the new images and post my own SRT to help out. I'm in the midsts of debugging a ROM I'm working in so I'll only do it if I have some time free( like when I have questions to ask and there's no devs available to question). Might even tweak his script a bit, not sure how it works but I may add a md5sum checker to double check that the images didn't corrupt if it doesn't have one in it, I know nothing is more annoying than flashing your device back and getting a error from fastboot about size mismatch or something.

i have the images how would I now apply them to the kindle I take it it will be with fast boot but how to apply them to get this kindle running again

Something like putting it in fastboot and open a command prompt, now here's to hoping you have basic command line experience. I would recommend putting the images you downloaded into for instance the same folded as the fastboot command in SRT, or if you have another fastboot command that is fine as well. Idk if SRT defaultly put its images in the same folder as fastboot, but if it did feel free to deleted them to avoid confusion. Anyways for the commands, CD into the directory containing the fastboot commands that you placed your images in. Now I believe this is what you want to run:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.IMG
Fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.IMG
Fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.IMG
Note that I am not positive on the file names but if it was incorrect just change the name in the command of the IMG file as it needs be. Wouldn't recommend flashing the bootloader unless you have to, bad bootloader flashes result in hard bricks so I avoid flashing it unless absolutely necessary, and also note boot is not bootloader, boot is the kernel+intramfs. Also don't flash the boot0block image at all. That contains that persons serial number, Mac address and other info, idk why he put it in there, its kinda personal.

im running cmd with fastboot now to flash the images my question is if you can help flashed stockboot image okay next stocksystem that has come back as failed fastboot is now flashing stock recovery but it just seems to be sitting there any ideas on how long the process should take not sure if something is up and not sure this gonna work if stock recovery failed any ideas worried about unplugging or turning it off.

Weird, recovery is rather small compared to the system image, I wonder why it was hanging. I normally don't advise on pulling during a fastboot flash, but what else can you do if its hanging... I would just attempt again. If all the images are in a zip check the CRC listed, and I don't know exactly how to do that offhand, think it depends on the program you use, think some list it in a column, I use Linux a lot and I haven't ever checked crc's, I usually go by md5sums. Sorry I can't be of much help other then say try again, this is kinda the only images we have as if yet and the kfhd2 is kinda new territory sorta so we have to see if we can get it working like we did on the previous one, really shouldn't be any learning to it since it is just a modified version of the kfhd7".

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Bricked... Super lost need help

So I rooted my device, and tried to unroot it because it was stuck at the blue kindle fire logo and wouldnt boot up to the actual os. Now the device only shows the orange logo, but won't go past that. Additionally, the volume up button does not make it enter fastboot. Oh and to top things off, the ADB doesnt recognize the device anymore. Instead of doing the logical thing and stopping at the first sign of an issue and coming here for help, I tried a few kindle fire recovery things from this site, but none of them seemed to make it work.
Here's what (little) else I know:
Superuser is no longer installed
I tried reinstalling Superuser.apk a while ago but system/app was read only
:crying:
Is anyone capable of helping me?

You need to enter fastboot mode, if it is a 8.9" model then a fastboot cable won't help. When it turns on it should initially show up as a jem device in the device manager, you have to install the driver when it shows up briefly, once you have the driver installed you just need to run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and then plug the kindle in while it is off, it should then go into fastboot where you can restore it with kindle fire first aid or SRT.

I have a similar problem with mine. Could you explain a little more clearly?
"You need to enter fastboot mode, if it is a 8.9" model then a fastboot cable won't help."
Do you mean that you cannot use fastboot over a terminal/command line on a computer connected to the tablet via a USB cable? Because that has not been my experience

Okay, so I got into fastboot mode on my computer and it sees the device when I input fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product. I used SRT to flash the second option, images/system2.img and I got this confirmation:
sending 'system' (907264 KB)...
It's been 40 minutes and I haven't gotten any change/update in the command line output. How long should this take/will it make things worse if I stop it?

I don't think things can get any worse if you pull it when it's not finished since it is the system partition, you will just have to try reflashing it again.

I have a similar problem with mine. Could you explain a little more clearly?
"You need to enter fastboot mode, if it is a 8.9" model then a fastboot cable won't help."
Do you mean that you cannot use fastboot over a terminal/command line on a computer connected to the tablet via a USB cable? Because that has not been my experience

I mean a fastboot cable normally puts a kindle into fastboot mode, that's the purpose of it. On a 8.9" model they don't do this, hence the method I mentioned. This is what I have learned from all the resources on xda, I don't have a 8.9" model to test for myself though.

So just close the window doing the flash operation and try again?

Sure, wouldn't recommend it if it does that on a boot partition but there's not much else you can do when it hangs.

I can't get any fastboot commands to actually do anything! I enter them all correctly and nothing works. Any ideas?

If it says waiting for device and never did anything check the device manager and see if there's a jem device sitting there with a yellow triangle next to it. I'm about to nod off so let me say this, if you already did this I am half asleep so sorry for mentioning this again. Did you run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" then plug the device in while off and it show a fastboot logo? If no then its a driver issue.
