I don't think the 2013 kindle HD 7 is supported, considering there are no official ROMs for the original version it may take awhile.
I think he just means dd out a copy of the system partition for use with fastboot. One person already did this but the file must have corrupted on upload because everyone that has tested it gets a error about what was it something like "image size to big" I think it was? Its the same error we get when we have a corrupt download usually.

Hello,
i have two newly purchased KFHD7.
Both resist to any tool or described method for rooting.
So i took one and tried to write via fastboot (i have a working cabel) an older version with bootloader and recovery.
This only leads to the situation of a short kinlde logo -> red scren and fastboot.
So i tried first aid for complete rstore but nothing changed.
As a last resort it tried to install the second bootloader but this maked it even more worse, the kindle is now bricked totally.
Now i ihave my second kindle and no clue what i can do.
Are there some changes with the newest kfhd7 ? Because it seems that there are more than me with the unrootable problem.

So,
tried on my second KFHD7 to Downgrade to 7.2.3 with the FirstAid tool, and what should i say....
KInlde Logot -> Red Screen -> Fastboot. Thats a Bad day.
Does soemeone have a boot and recovery as a backup from the latest release for me ?
Thanks

Use Kindle Fire restore tool. You will use fastboot cord, wipe first and then restore. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 KFFA has been hit or miss lately.

Well, that maked no difference. Tried with v 1.3.5 and still the RED wall.
Are there any special steps to take ? I made Erase, Restore 3 and Restore 1
and also Erase and only Restore 3
Thanks

Not really because a red screen is considered a hard brick. Only on rare occasions does a red screen (on a Kindle Fire HD) get turned around.

I thought red screen meant signature failure ? Well probably i should see what read means, mine is more orange and fastboot is still coming, so it shouldn’t be bricked completely,
Well i thin i will first try to download original 7.4.6 update and install bootloader and recovery of them
Or will try the same from a different computer

Wait, you say you have two newly purchased KFHD7s... do you mean the 1st Generation KFHD7" from 2012? Or the new KFHD7" from 2013? Because if they're the 2013 versions, I don't think you can use the root tools mentioned in this subforum (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

You need learn your colors first so you can get the color of the screen right first. Then tell us what model/firmware you have. Each mod is specific to the model Kindle you have. If you used the system restore tool on the new Kindle Fire HD (2013) you bricked the shet out of your Kindle. The image and boot are completely different.

OK,
but what do you mean with colors ? I don’t think that i read somewhere to check colors first before you try to install one of the mods.
Even there is nowhere any warning to check something or that these mods are only available for models before Oct.2013
This is an information which is a sticky topic worth
But anyway, i started rma and will monitor the forum for any news on this topic

Hello to everyone!
First of all, english is not my native language, so please forgive my bad english
Here is my current problem:
I was working around with my new Kindle Fire HD 7'' (v. 11....), rooted it succesfully, everything was running smoothly.
So i was reading my way through some new posts in here on how to remove and get rid off the commercials on the Kindle.
One comment I saw was suggesting the following:
"You will need to have root access first.
Remount /system as read/write
Enter /system/app and rename or delete dtcp* (forgot the rest of the name.
Reboot
Enjoy."
After reading this, I did exactly what the user was suggesting and proceeded to delete both files I found in the "add"-folder beginning with "dtcp".
After doing this, my Kindle already started throwing some errors, so I went on to rebooting the device.
After that, I came into my current situation, with a red triangle showing up, offering me to reset the device to factory settings, which doesn't help me either. I'm basically stuck in a boot-loop atm.
I would really appreciate any help with this and thanks in advance!!
Greetings
You need a fastboot cable to fix it, you have to reflash the system partition with kindle fire first aid once it is in fastboot.

Don't know what you did but you will have to wait and see if the bootloader gets any exploits because you have to factory reset that way now. I suggest you see if you can get an exchange. Amazon is great about that. There are no other options for you at at the moment.

Alright thanks a ton for the advice.
I got in touch with Amazon support over chat, and the person talking to me was making almost an interrogation out of it since I think they were suspecting that I had bricked the Kindle by rooting it or something similar. But in the end they decided to send me a replacement device.
In addition, they told me I'd get notice from them as soon as they get to examine the state of the old Kindle. You think I'll have to expect any consequences of this if they get to figure out I bricked it by deleting something on root-level which I wasn't supposed to delete?
I just hope they won't make a big deal out of it.... :/ I just hope they won't say I voided the warranty and make me pay for the repair or something

Not likely. They will most likely check for signs of physical damage and send it back to China. I don't think they have scoping capabilities at the return center.

**** happens. But I think it would be nice if you could correct yourself in the mentioned post so that we can avoid other people to follow the instructions as well and brick their Kindles that way
But besides that, any idea why my Kindle got bricked just by deleting those 2 files that, afaik, only belong to the Amazon-ads-app?
Is it because the app is actually signed, which they introduced with the 3rd gen Kindles?
If that's the reason, that's pretty dumb from Amazon in my opinion, forcing those ads that hard

I've been living (mostly) happily with my Kindle Fire HD 7" running BAM rom (the best rom ever) for a couple months now. I decided to upgrade to android 4.4. I went into TWRP to install the new rom, but it wouldn't install, so I decided to flash one of my recoveries I had made in october and it flashed it fine, but when it boots up now it won't even get to the blue Kindle Fire anymore, it's just a boot loop BEFORE it.
When I first did this I had basically no clue what I was doing so I didn't make sure that fastboot was working and it doesn't seem to be working now.
Please HELP!!!!

I had this happen to me recently. It's easy to fix, with the right tools. You need a Fastboot/factory cable (whatever you want to call it) that has a short from pin 1 to 4, and Kindle Fire First Aide (In the KFHD 7" General forum).

You don't necissarily have to buy one--I built one myself (with a little help from my dad). All you need is a spare Micro-USB cable, a soldering iron, a small strand of wire, and a bit of battery power left on your Kindle. If you want to make the job a little bit easier, you can also get a Micro-USB breakout board from SparkFun.com. They're so much easier to solder to than a plain Micro-USB end.
Tutorial I used: http://chimerasaur.us/2012/01/making-a-kindle-fire-factory-cable/
For the breakout board: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10031
hey, was able to use a single wire to temporarily turn my normal usb to a fastboot usb:cyclops:, but now what do I do?
Don't know what's happening!!
I flashed a new system, boot, and recovery, but it still will boot up into boot loop. WHAT DO I DO (I do know how to do fastboot using -i 0x1949 so I know that's not my problem I'm thinking bootloader, but am not sure)
tried flashing bootloader...
Didn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a little irritated. downloading a program(forgot it's name) that's supposed to be able to flash the proper files to recover a fully bricked device, so I'm hopeful:fingers-crossed:

No such tool exists for the KFHD. What ever you're about to use is gonna hard brick your tablet. Use the system restore tool for Kindle Fire 7 and run the bat tool or push the images. Read the tutorial to get some background knowledge on this.

So what was the name of the program you used?
What was suggested earlier
After posting some of my previous posts, I realized I somehow had kffirstaid and used the restore option (but I personally like to manually do the fastboot commands, so I used it mainly to download the files and do it the first time) then redid the steps in this forum to get it to reinstall twrp and then flashed cm11.
Hi Folks!
I think i made a big mistake.
I used Kindle Fire First Aide on my device and now I'm stuck in Fastboot mode.
From what i read now, i used the wrong Version (Option "Completely Restore the KFHD 7 7.2.3") wich is for older Kindles.
I looked for the Stock Images for this Model, but couldn't find them....
Is there a way to fix it or do i have to contact Amazon?
Can Amazaon reconstruct my mistake and avoid the warranty?
Thank's l lot for guiding a prat....

That method should work. It flashes a small system image with some stuff removed i think, then it pushes a update onto the device that then updates it to a full os. Should work like it did on the other devices it was tested on, i'm assuming that utility should also flash the correct bootimg and recovery as well. Without the right bootimg it wouldn't probably bootup enough for the procedure to finish.

the kindle was in a boot loop, I tried to use KFU and it would not take the image. I mistakenly tried to install TWRP and it looked like ot installed and went to reboot. The system is now just a black screen when th no sign of life. The system does not see it esstially the definition of Bricked. I found a logic board for $19. I am technical and have the skills to replace the board. my question is the ROM and SDcard part of the board. I spent hours reading to flash it properly with a factory cable. I just didn't read enough ?
Sir,
Your details about device its not enough. Kindle is only some part of your device name.
