Hello guys. I appreciate in advance any help you can bring to this thread.
Please be aware (for my amount of messages) that i'm still a newbie. So, please don't brag or dismiss any opinions or suggestions just because... Instead, try to share your magnificent knowledge and solutions to the following problem:
I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD 7", with second bootloader and TWRP recovery. I was running a 4.2.2 version of Paranoid Android without any problem. I often update ROM's and twerks for the tablet and my SGS3, so i'm pretty much capable of solving many of problems i've faced before, but right now i'm stucked in a bootloop without knowing what to do.
I tried to update my recovery TRWP from 2.4.x version to a 2.6.x version of it (to be able to flash KK 4.4 on KFHD), i've downloaded .img from TWRP web page and flashed via "Flashify" (which i read is the 2nd easiest way to do it), but when i rebooted the device, it got into a bootloop (?). It shows Kindle Fire, first in normal letters color set white-orange, then second color set white-blue, and after it is shown a new icon that says "FASTBOOT kindle fire" in orange... And that's pretty much it. It doesn't moves forward and i can't access recovery mode by pressing power button as usual.
Do you have any ideas of what to do in this scenario? If yes, please share. If don't, thank you anyway for reading the thread.

You can't just use anything when modding. TWRP has to come from Hashcode's thread because he modifies them for the Kindles`s. The other thing is the KFHD7 uses FireFlash. You can try flashing a Nandroid backup in TWRP or you will need a fastest cord and factory reset.

You should have used FireFlash or direct ADB. For now,you can try to restore a Nandroid backup and get the TWRP 2.6.3.1 image from Hashcode's thread. And use FireFlash this time!!
I can't help but notice that he said "twerks" in his original post :silly:

Thank you so very much for your helpful comment.
As i said in the first post, for any reason a can't access twrp recovery by pressing power button right after booting the device. I think a might need the fastboot cable.
Question: Original factory cable doesn't work in this case? y've noticed that i was triying to plug it to the pc with my samsung cable. does it make any real difference (Just comparing factory kindle cable and samsung cable)?.

yes there's a different in KFHD factory cable and samsung cable cause factory cable are made specially for KFHD and its support good speed then samsung cable/
qoute: lol i am a newbie
A factory cable (also known as a fast boot cable) is not the cable that came with your kindle it is a cable you have to make or order.
On the micro USB side it shorts pin one and pin four.
When this cable is plugged in your kindle will boot to a screen that says fast boot and stay there. In this special mode we can use commands from a PC to change the kindles settings.

I'm new to rooting & customized OS...
using Kindle Fire 7" 7.4.6 D025
I've rooted the Kindle (I've downloaded a checker to confirm)
I have also downloaded CM 10.1.3, put onto the device.
I can't go into recovery mode (I've tried pressing Power repeatedly but no use... If I can get into recovery mode, then I can boot CM from there.
My other question is, what is the purpose of TeamWin?
Is there an apk file I can download?
Many thanks
OK I think from reading this you haven't done your research yet, first off to get into recovery you hold down volume down after the device powers on, second of all this device's stock recovery doesn't allow for flashing ROMs. Team win is referring to twrp, the recovery we have to use on kindle fires, we also have to use second boot loader because this device is a high security device with a locked boot loader. In short twrp isn't an apk u install, however one of the methods for installing it is. I suggest you read through this entire thread and make backups like it says: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
Two key things to note, you already did part ofone of them so good for you, that was put the ROM and the gapps zip on your kindle ahead of time so you can flash it when it starts boot looping into recovery, so don't forget the gapps zip or you won't have Google play store and such. The other thing is make sure you check the box in fireflash about downgrading the boot loader, it should have red text warning you about this. If you don't check this box you will need a fastboot to recover from the red screen on boot up that will happen. Also kinda suggest a newer ROM from our dev section like cm 10.2 or cm 11, or any variants, funny coming from me that is running cm 10.1, but that is because I couldn't get the tablet ui patch to work on cm 10.2 so I stuck with it.
Anyways hope this points you in the right direction, please read over that entire tutorial, you don't want to miss something.

The only thing i see wrong with that 2nd post is to enter TWRP from power down is power on tablet and hold down the Vol UP key, not the Vol down key.
ops...
I was wrong to write posts, I ask the moderators to delete posts!
I'm sorry
So i'm very new to root and i'm kicking myself for doing what I did and i'm really hoping someone can help me out. So long story short in titanium backup I turned all my launchers even the default one into user applications, and now its stuck in an endless boot. And please be noob friendly as possible I almost know nothing about android and barley successfully rooted in the first place. Thanks
(Kindle Fire HD 2012 Model)
Did you install twrp or cwm yet? (Recovery) if not you will probably need a fast boot cable and then reinstall the ROM. Very different routes.

Boot Loop
Hello...Just rooted my KF HD and am now stuck in a boot loop. I was able to obtain root and boot into recovery. I was taking a back up before installing a Jelly Bean ROM. When I tried to take the back up, said there was not enough memory, so I did a backup without data. I did a full wipe, cache and davlik cache and when I tried to install the ROM zip file, got a message it could not open the zip. So, I restored from my back up and now all I get is the regular Kindle FIre logo over and over. I tried to connect via adb, but it does not stay on long enough for me to send any commands, my PC does not recognize it. Any help or suggestions? Just wanted to put a good stable ROM on it so the kids can have sometime more reliable than what Amazon provided. Any help is appreciated.
BTW...if I remember correctly, my serial number started with D025. Thanks.
Hi everybody
I've been running a rooted kindle fire hd for about a year with cyanogenmod and no problems. Tonight I downloaded the latest nightly update installed it with TWRP and re booted fine.
I kept getting google play services errors so decided to factory reset and clean everything up. Now I cannot get past the teamwin boot logo.
I see the orange kindlefire, blue kindlefire, then the teamwin logo flashes every 5 seconds.
Any ideas on how to recover this?
Regards
KP

i have the same problem and there seems to be no way to get the kindle in any state to do anything, all I've found out so far is that its stuck trying to factory reset and there should be a way to reverse this, i hope someone can give us a solution or i might as well call my kindle a paperweight.

Thanks for letting me know, I purchased a factory cable today. Seems to be recognised by my laptop, but the kindle doesnt go into fastboot. There seems to be a few people with this problem. I've not seen any help offered yet. I'm not holding out much hope, doesn't seem any way to communicate with it.
Where did you get your info?

i've found out a lot about bootloop issues and in most cases it seems like the first thing needed to fix the problem is a factory cable, i didn't get mine yet so i can't see if it will work but since your pc can see your kindle now you can try out kindle fire first aid 4.1.88-beta.
let me know if it works for you.

I'd already tried that. Seems because the kindle is not fully booting up then kindle fire first aid doesnt recognise it. Unless what i've been sent is actually a normal usb, then I dont see any way of sorting this. I'll wait to see if you have better luck

OK I may have cracked it here. I am no expert ( I wouldnt be in this mess if I was) i was playing with the adb commands with the factory cable connected.
Typed:
ADB devices
showed a device called D025A0A024540SF0 recovery
Typed:
ADB Reboot-Bootloader
Kindle fire boots into FASTBOOT screen. YEY ME!!!
Now i'm not really sure where to go, never used fastboot before.
After using kindlefire recovery tool, doing a wipe then option 2 my kindle booted up into TWRP.
I tried rebooting from here and now I get a flashing kindlefire logo.
occasionally i manage to get it into fastboot with the factory cable, but it doesnt stay there long enough to do anything. I hoping this is maybe a power issue so I'm leaving it plugged in overnight to attempt to charge it.
hope this info helps you, I feel like I was at a point to simply re flash a rom but messed up by rebooting from twrp.
I did it!!!!
Managed to get it to stay in fastboot mode and ran kindlerecover tool again. now have a working kindle running APEX launcher. Have to read up tomorrow and get cyanogenmod back.

Grats i'm glad it worked out for you man, i'll try out the same when i get my cable lol i ended up buying a new tablet thinking no one would solve this problem and now i just may have two if i get mine working also if you try loli pop again make sure you install gapps for it, that was my first mistake that led to me messing up my kindle the second being the factory reset, the devs should either disable or warn people not to try it since your screwed once you do anyways i'll give an update once i try to recover my kindle, cheers.
Hi -
I have searched these forums multiple times, had numerous brower tabs open trying to follow instructions, and am at wits end. I am hoping that someone here can help me. I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" which had version 7.5.1 on it. I've rooted, tried using Fireflash to flash TWRP, bricked it twice, recovered it (with the fastboot cable that arrived in the mail 2 days ago), and now I am unable to switch on wifi (I did see the recent thread about this). I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The first two times before flashing the TWRP, I did not downgrade to 7.2.3. Could that have been why it bricked both times?
I just did another reset to factory defaults to try to get wifi back, to no avail. I am doing all of this so that I can install a ROM to escape all of the Amazon interface limitations.
Edit: I should add that I have so many files downloaded now (different versions, per each set of instructions) that I am confused.
Update: I just used SRT_v1.3.0 to restore factory recovery and now my wireless is enabled!
I am afraid to use Fireflash to flash TWRP again after two failures.
Thank you for any and all input!

HOW?? FOR GODS SAKE HOW???
I'm in the same boat, just bricked it now I think, red screen when turning on, thats it
Don't panic... get a factory (Fastboot) cable and use the Unbrick app to revive it. I took so many attempts to get it successfully flashed with CM12. I believe that I was using the incorrect boot image file and had not downgraded to 7.2.3 first. But I don't really understand the whole process. Good luck!

Cheers mate... I will try and find out to make one...
I came across another thread that seemed to help me a bit. Can't find it again. So, hoping someone can point me in the right direction or better yet, give me a magic solution
History - I have a kindle fire - 5th gen. Got it with 5.1.2 which upgraded automatically to 5.1.4. I sideloaded 5.1.2 and it worked just fine. However, I missed the fact that the bootloader is locked on 5.1.2 and tried to flash TWRP. I also blocked OTA updates. (Rootjunky's tool)
Current situation - I am rooted and on 5.1.2. I want to get to Cm 12.1, but I can't get into recovery at all. It is stuck on the "Amazon" logo when I try to get to recovery. It is not the blue logo - I have never seen it, but my logo's not blue. I'm able to boot normally and use the tablet without any issues.
Question - The thread I came across earlier said that a fastboot cable is the only way out. But this person seemed to be at the "blue amazon" logo. Help? Thoughts?

bootloader was always locked, but 5.0.X allows booting a custom Recovery
if it will not boot to recovery nor rom/system, nothing can be done
fastboot cable doesn't work with 5th gen fires

Thanks... When you say "if it will not boot to recovery nor rom/system, nothing can be done", I see a glimmer of hope. The only thing I'm unable to do is boot to recovery. I am still rooted and able to use the tablet fully. There are no issues with that.
Does that help?

Thoughts:
- you can still flash a custom ROM but if something goes wrong during the upgrade you're screwed without a recovery environment.
- recent versions of FlashFire have the ability to preserve and rewrite the recovery environment; not certain if the process works on this device and potential side effects (if any).
- several months ago another contributor claimed to have resurrected the stock recovery environment via adb which created quite a stir at the time. Have not seen much since so I suspect the solution was not generically applicable.
- I'm of the belief that most recovery access issues are actually a booting problem vs a damaged recovery partition. Your situation may be a little different as you attempted to rewrite the recovery partition by flashing TWRP.
oh well.. I'll just wait for you brainy guys to figure a way out. Not messing with the device anymore for now. Thank you!
