My Kindle Fire HD 7" is not in a good way. I will power up and allow me access to the app screen, but that is about it. Any time I try to launch an app it goes to a black screen and I have to cycle power in order to get it back. I am not able to swipe down at all to get the menu to appear, so I have no access to settings at all. I have been bumping around on this forum and based on the fact that I can't turn on the ADB, I bought a factory cable to help me access my KFHD. Now what?? I would like to do a full system restore on it to see if that will help with the issue that I have, but the thread on this forum that discusses that has dead links.
I am very new to this (so call me a n00b), but I want to try to fight through this myself. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried several times to pull that file in with no success. It fails in the last 5% of the download. Is there an alternative place that I can get that file from? Thanks for the help!

Hi, My brother has a rooted kindle (Which I rooted for him, he doesn't know much about root, but he wanted the play store). His kindle was starting to get laggy, and random touch input, Im thinking it's happening because it's just slow. I'm not sure what app is causing this, but just to point out.. So he wanted to format. I'm not sure if it will brick his kindle since it's rooted. But I did see a forum page about someone's phone on a black screen because it was rooted and he formatted it. So should I unroot it then format? Am I missing something?
You do not want to format your kindle. Instead install a new rom such as kinology. Follow all instructions.

Thanks for the reply, but the kindle's bootloader isn't unlocked. Is there a workaround or anything from flashing a rom?
Just go into the Dev section and read the thread by hashcode entitled installing second boot loader + twrp

Okay, Ill try it, thanks for the info. (Ill get a fastboot cable from ebay too.)
I'm not a noob when it comes to android but this KFHD is kicking my butt. Okay, I bought a Kindle Fire HD 7 Demo Unit off craigslist thinking it was a regular unit. I'm trying to use fastboot to install Cyanogenmod but it's not working. All drivers are installed. In Device Manager, it comes up as Android Device > Android ADB interface. In Device and Printers, it still shows up as TATE-PVT-08. My problems is when I run the code, "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", it just skips to the next command line without listing my device. I attached a picture of my CMD below.

First thing is to download the SDK package and set your environment up.

I just determined that my Kindle HD 7 is the 1st gen from 2012. Is there any special way to work on it?

Have you tried to flash anything to it yet? There are Kindle topics on here. Make sure it's only for the firmware your our tablet is running.

Hi there! I received a KFHD and tried to install the cm 10.2 but something went wrong, when I had to turn the device into recovery mode it didn't turned on anymore. It just begins with the start screen kindle fire and never go ahead. Is there a way to restore it? Sorry for my english if isn't good enough, I'm Italian. Thanks a lot for your help!
Try the restore tool from the Dev section. Unfortunately it will take you back to a clean stock but at least it will boot.

Use Kindle fire system restore tool for 7". This is assuming you have the 2012 KFHD7. You will need a fastest cord as well.

Hi there, finally I had my factory cable and tried the restore tool from here "KFHD System.img Restore Tool" but nothing changed.
On the prompt it looks like everything goes fine but when it finish to transfer the files and I should reboot the kindle everything is like before.
Anyway thanks a lot for your help, I appreciate.
I installed CM 10.2 emmc only to find out the sixaxis won't connect over bluetooth anymore, the whole reason I wanted to root. So does the sixaxis work with a stock rooted rom 2.2.0? Also does USB host work with it?

If you look in the accessories forum, there is a thread discussing that. And I don't think USB host works on stock, but search to find out for sure.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't device spoofer just for installing and running apps on devices that the apps aren't intended to run on? I'm just trying to pair the ps3 controller with my nook HD. From all the reading I've done, google kind of broke Bluetooth with 4.2. My iPhone would pair with stock nook is so I was hoping maybe a rooted stock ROM (2.1.1) would restore Bluetooth even though I'll be stuck with nook os.

I was not pointing you there about the spoofer, if you read the whole thread, it talks about if the six-axis works and on which ROM. It even talks about running stock on SD as a solution. I know nothing about any of it.

Ok. I installed CWM and rooted 2.1.1. Got the Sixaxis working but I can't open the cyanoboot menu. I've tried holding the power and "n" button and just the "n" button while booting but can't access the cyanoboot menu. I'm trying to install enable unknown sources but no matter what I do I can't access the boot menu. If it helps sometimes when I power back on I get the factory recovery asking if I want to restore to factory maybe indicating something wrong with the CWM install?

No, there is no cyanoboot menu with rooted 2.1.1. You have to boot using the bootable CWM SD that you used to flash the Universal Root zip.

You're in a bootloop. Power the tablet down. Go buy/make yourself a fastboot cord. Now use the system restore tool, choose option 3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Edit: Jelly Bam is way outdated, if memory serves me. I don't think it's been in development for some time now.

i recommend the blackhat adapter mentioned in hashcodes 2nd bootloader+twrp tutorial. And from what i know i don't think fastboot cables are useful with an s4, i don't know much about other devices, but don't the s4's use the loki exploit to install a custom rom?
