Hi all.
I am experienced with the android phones but i am so clueless with this damn kindle fire hd crap thing so i would like to get some help from the lovely community.
I have just received a kindle fire hd from a very close friend yesterday and have been up all night reading most of the guides here and i am still stuck with the damn boot-loops.
I have installed the drivers for the device and i got the sdk adb package along with KFFirstAide.
Main problem :
I don't know what they did to the device "8 and 7 year old kids" but when i plugged it into the charger it started charging when it charged i moved over to the pc and plugged it into the usb on the pc and used abd in cmd the device is not recognized by the abd on pc so no commands works.
The boot-screen or what ever is a "kindlefire" logo with lights moving from one end to the other and its repetitive and that all the life i get out of it.
I know they didn't try and root the device as they are small kids and have no knowledge of that sort.
I cant give any info on the build or any software related info as i got it in my hands when it wasn't working and i am relying on this community's help.
Sorry for the long text.
You are going to need to get it into fastboot and reflash the system image probably, to do that u can try powering it of and running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" from a command prompt, and plugging the kindle in while it says waiting for device. This command is either part of the android SDK, or you can download a utility that has it such as the one mentioned below in link. I personally haven't ever succeeded getting it I to fast boot using that method so if that method fails you will need to buy a fastboot cable or make one, that will kick it into fastboot mode. If u succeed in getting it into fast boot mode you should use the kfhd system image restore tool, lemme get link.
Edit: link retrieved! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Oh and another note that link has instructions and some people get confused on step 2 because it has a command to run, that's only for if the kindle isn't bricked, so for you I already covered step 2 pretty much in my post, it is just basically get into fast boot mode. Oh and one more thing, while this post was under the 7" forum I saw u said u couldn't retrieve product info so I wasn't sure if you knew if it was a 7" or a 8.9", so I thought I'd mention if u end up having to use a fast boot cable instead of the command method above, run the command after its in fastboot mode, in either case if it says Tate its a 7 inch model.

Thanks very much for your reply but i have already tried the command line you supplied and every time i turn it off and then get the command line ready following by plugging in the usb while the kindle is shut off it just turns on and hangs in the "kindle fire" boot logo.
I cant tell if this is brink or if its just hanging there nor do i know what those kids did to it.
The kindlefire hd is 7" as i got a 8.9" samgsung galaxy tablet my self and kindlefire measured with that seams to be a 7"er.
The main problem is the pc cant detect this kindle device at all its as if i haven't connected the cable at all but the device it self does detect the cable as it turns on and goes into that annoying "kindlefire" boot logo mode and stays there.
Like I said I have never gotten that command to work, just get a fast boot cable they are fairly cheap around 10-15$, or make one if you have a soldering iron. They will make your kindle boot up from off into fast boot mode. This will definitely help you unbrick your kindle.

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'"

Members,
I need your help for my KINDLE fire 7 " HD stuck at bootlogo. I just came back from work and switched on my KINDLE but it booted and got stuck at 'KINDLE FIRE' boot logo. I tried every possible troubleshooting method, like giving hard reset but nothing works. It switches ON and gets stuck at the LOGO. Going by the forums I know that I need a fastboot cable which I have already ordered and expecting the delivery.
Can you plz guide me how to proceed once I have the cable with me ?
Thanks in advance for your time.

You'll be fine once your fastboot cord arrives. Reference this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37169349 to return to 7.2.3 stock. And reference this video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw&desktop_uri=/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw to get your ADB drivers properly installed.

Fastboot cord uses fastboot commands while in fastboot. This is the link to Kindle Fire FirstAid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 Once you follow the steps for setup and run it, you will choose number 3 to go back to 7.2.3 When asked if you want to reboot into fastboot, choose no because you are in fastboot.
You can use the regular USB to get into fastboot mode but not now that you are in a bootloop. After running KFFA to restore to 7.2.3 you will also use it to root and remove OTA updates then install gapps or if you are going to go custom romm with 2nd bootloader and TWRP recovery, skip gapps and move on to the latter. Do NOT use KFFA to install TWRP/2nd bootloader or any ROM. Use FireFlash.

So you're saying that you had a bootloop and you ran Kindle Fire FirstAide. Which numbers/options did you press? Plugging that fastboot cord in will power your Kindle Fire HD and send it into fastboot no matter the battery charge. Where did you get the fastboot cord from? A reliable source? I'm only asking because if the battery were low and the wire that connects pins 1 to 4 (think) that energize the Kindle into fastboot mode are somehow faulty, then this would stop the kindle from going into fastboot. However, if the fastboot cord is working, it would seem you have a hard brick. I will look around to see if there is a solution for this.

Thanks for help mate. I bought it from amazon and it seemed to be the most reliable source http://www.amazon.com/EarlyBirdSavi...ywords=kindle+factory+cable&tag=s601000020-20
I firstly reboot the bootloader couple of times like people suggested me. When that didn't help I restored it and like i gave a detail in other post that it took fair amount of time like 45 mins of reading and writing the .img files. Even the message was prompted that 'Your kindle has been restored to 7.2.3, the only thing is that all this while the display of my Kindle didn't changed and was fixed on 'Fastboot Kindle fire' logo. I was disappointed with this device from start due to that crappy kindle OS which made it way too slow and things kept freezing and crashing all the time. Since I am in colombia and used a freight service for this cable to be delivered, i ended up paying 30 USD for the cable. I don't think I will be sending it for repair , it just don't worth it the expenses for the repair and the shipping cost from Colombia and vice versa. May be will keep experimenting and looking on XDA if at some point of time hard brick issue could be fixed.
Not to ring up the past...
But, I cannot get my kindle to work with adb to save my life.
I have the adb drivers
Fastboot finds the device
Its stuck in bootloop so the only to communicate with it is though fastboot cable.
please help

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, I can't turn ADB debugging on because there is no way to get access to the menu system. Is there another manner of fastbooting and of reflashing image you can possibly recommend to bypass not having access to the launcher? Again thanks in advance!
I'm not sure what is possible via fb other than adb. Try googling flash factory image & see what you find. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes,there is. The following commands will flash the boot,recovery and system images while in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img
Hi im having problems with my kindle fire hd 2nd gen. I rooted and installed cm12 or 13 on it and it was working well but i lost root so i flashed Supersu through twrp now my device is bootlooping on the amazon fire boot screen. I couldn't get into fastboot so bought a fastboot cable which has arrived today (2 weeks from china) now when i plug it in the device goes into fastboot mode but my windows 10 shows it in device manager as Other Devices Tate -pvt-08. I cant issue commands through ADB (adb devices just shows nothing connected) if i enter the getvar command i just get waiting for device. I've reinstalled the kindle device driver and still no joy.
I also made a complete backup of my kindle before i rooted it which i have stored safely. but i need to know how i can push them to my kindle and how to make my laptop see the kindle.
I'm struggling now and pretty lost with it all if someone could lend a hand and tell me what im doing wrong

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
Is it possible to root the Kindle Fire HD 7 2nd Generation?
I have been attempting to do so for the past week, with no success. Don't know if I'm not searching hard enough, or if it is simply not possible.
The first problem I had was that I wasn't able to have adb access to the Kindle Fire HD. I finally got that down, and now it works. I am able to use the "adb devices" command and my kindle appears.
I cannot report the same thing for fastboot, though. I bought a fastboot adapter for the cable from Team Blackhat and the devices goes into fastboot. Unfortunately, command prompt just says waiting for devices when I try using the "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product". I don't understand why fastboot is not accessible. (The fastboot logo does appear on the device screen.)
I have been trying to use KFSOWI All-in-One Tool, Qemu's and other well known rooting programs for the past week with no success. I simply want to root it, but I can't get it down.
If I could get some help with that, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

I have been trying to use KFSOWI All-in-One Tool, Qemu's and other well known rooting programs for the past week with no success. I simply want to root it, but I can't get it down.
If I could get some help with that, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

If the commands aren't working you probably don't have the fastboot driver installed. Look in the device manager for a device with a yellow triangle next to it, probably called Soho (I could be wrong), download my drivers and extract them somewhere, and hit update drivers on the device and point it to my drivers. If it can't find a suitable driver tell me because I don't remember if I ever added 2013 kfhd support to them.

Is it possible to root the Kindle Fire HD 7 2nd Generation?
I have been attempting to do so for the past week, with no success. Don't know if I'm not searching hard enough, or if it is simply not possible.
The first problem I had was that I wasn't able to have adb access to the Kindle Fire HD. I finally got that down, and now it works. I am able to use the "adb devices" command and my kindle appears.
I cannot report the same thing for fastboot, though. I bought a fastboot adapter for the cable from Team Blackhat and the devices goes into fastboot. Unfortunately, command prompt just says waiting for devices when I try using the "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product". I don't understand why fastboot is not accessible.

There is no bootloader access for the Soho and the root tool you're using is for the 2012 KFHD and will not work on the 2013 KFHD.
Edit: The link in my signature will lead you to the root process for the Soho.
