[Q] Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 rooted with cyanogenmod 11 keeps restarting - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have two Kindle Fire HD 7 inch, I think both are the older model. Until recently, one was bricked after i rooted but it started getting random restarts after being fine for months. I decided to try flashing a custom ROM, but due to following a YouTube video and not loading the ROM first before flashing, my fault as I mid heard the instructions, it died and I didn't know enough to reliase it could be fixed with a factory cable. I got a replacement and due to a **** up at Amazon, I managed to keep the broken one also.
I decided to root the newer one a few weeks in but months later it started having issues with dolphin browser constantly restarting, so I decided to buy a factory cable as a precusion and flash it to cyanogenmod. Everything went well so i dawned on me that I could fix the first one with my cable. I managed to fix with instructions from here and then flashed as well. Everything seemed to work fine until it started randomly restarting. Then it would get stuck at the blue kindle logo, would still allow me into twrp, so cleared dalvik and everything else and reflashed, it would load as newly flashed, but end up restarting again and eventually getting stuck at the blue logo again. I've seen a few threads with similar problems but couldn't find one that matched the circumstance.
So, my question, it this likely a hardware issue as it did get dropped once or twice in its short working life, or is it a software issue and something I could fix ???

i can take a few guesses at what would be causing a random reboot, i know dolphin can, i don't know why you would need to reflash to fix it though, thats very unusual unless maybe a filesystem error was causing it but it shouldnt have the same error everytime, i could suggest scanning the system partition for errors from recovery, i'd have to grab the command you'd need to run through adb. you dmesg would tell you if there were filesystem errors probably, mine was telling me about them so i finally got around to fixing them. i will mention i know dolphin can cause it to reboot randomly, i have had it happen before, i think it draws too much power trying to run it and causes the crash, not positive though.
On a side note you may want to rename the thread to 2012 kindle, the 2013 one is not rom-able, only rootable.
Did you overclock the processor?

Sorry, your right, its the 2012, I just noticed that the 2013 doesn't have a front camera. As for dolphin, I uninstalled a bunch of times with the same result, but I like it because the flash player works well once set up properly. It always starts off fine then gets progressively more unstable on my working kindle. I don't know much about adb, just the basics but have KindleFireFirstAid and other programs that used the fix permission errors. I haven't got round to trying them get though as the kindle normally wont stay on long enough.
When it was just rooted, the kindle would still restart so I was hoping that flashing might fix it in case it was something I had done wrong.
Oh, and I haven't over clocked, I signed into play store and allowed it to download all my girlfriends crap so she could use it for a while while her galaxy tab goes into the shop as it has the red charging cross issue.

you mind booting it up into a os and running this from a command prompt?
Code:
adb shell dmesg > log.txt
you will need to have a command prompt cd'd into the directory of adb, so either in a kffa folder or srt folder will do, anything that came with adb really. if you don't know much about command prompt then do this: shift + right click the folder with adb, hit "open command window here", then run that command.

update: I have noticed that when plugged into my laptop, the Kindle will stay on indefinitely, but when I unplug or not long after, the Kindle then restarts, especially when im doing something like searching the web or opening apps, so could it be a power source problem?

think the filesystem is ok not seeing any errors...another thing you could do is leave the device plugged into the pc with this running
Code:
adb shell "su -c 'cat /proc/kmsg'"
and whenever it reboots just copy and paste the last lines it outputted.

[Q] ADB Issue - device offline

A couple of days ago I flashed Eclipse v2.0, wanting to change my phone up a bit I had been on shift3r for a few weeks. Anyways, just now I was trying to copy some modules into my /system/lib/modules to overclock my device and was having issues copying within my phone. So I tried to use an adb shell to do so, but I keep getting the output of the device being offline, this is what I'm getting:
-NV57H:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
0A3BAF200C014015 offline
And I have done a search, where some people were having trouble using certain cords, mainly with Samsung devices, and switched cords with success. This does not apply in this situation as I have used adb many times with the cord I'm using, and also I did try to switch cords anyways. Also the only other thing I saw was a situation involving driver installation and re-installation creating problems. As I am on Lubuntu, and not Windows, this does not apply to the situation because I have neither installed or re-installed drivers. My adb is setup properly because I have been using this computer for a couple weeks now and it was working previously. Any ideas on anything that could have happened? or maybe I should switch ROMs?
additionally: on my file manager, in the address bar for my device when it is plugged up, it is seeming odd to me, this is now what the address is showing for my device's sdcard:
gphoto2://[usb:002,007]/
I think I might have messed something up on my Bionic. If you read the first post I was saying how I tried adb on the same computer I've been using, AFTER flashing Liberty. Well I've gotten rid of Liberty and went back to SHIFT3R to try to fix the problem, and my problem is still looming. I have tried on Lubuntu and Windows, and my girlfriend's Incredible 2 works on both of the OS's with the same cables I'm using as well. I remember the other day when I was flashing Liberty, I had to mount my USB while in recovery to move the file onto my SDCARD because it had vanished once I tried looking for it to flash it. I remember when I tried to eject my phone from my computer (lubuntu), it said that it was busy and could not unmount the phone, after the file transfer screen went away as well. And then I waited a few minutes and tried again, it said the same thing, but I unplugged the cable anyways and unmounted USB in recovery. The file flashed fine so I know it was not still transferring the zip file. If anyone knows what I may have done or what I may be able to do to fix this let me know. I just wanted to update the thread with my most recent trials and errors in fixing it. Thanks to anyone who can guide me. I have never had issues with adb before.
O man i really hope someone can help us with this issue.
I have the same problem..
I am trying to use the path saver, and it keeps telling me device offline.
RSD lite won't even recognize it.
HELP!!!
Me too
I had the same problem... I wanted to upgrade the radio on my Bionic to the .901 load... I could not get adb to see my device.
Using Windows 7 64 bit (Ultimate).
RSD Lite would not recognize device either.
Decided "Screw it", I'll just go back to my nandroid backup... which didn't work either.... soooo... here I am.... stuck.
Off to google I went... I don't know which of these fixed it, but it is working now... here is what I did.
Found a thread that stated "run your commands from the 'C:\platform-tools' directory... so I took all of the files from the "Bionic Path Saver 1" and copied and pasted them into this directory.
Secondly, instead of just double clicking the upgrade batch file (runmebbb.bat) like I was before, I opened a DOS command shell -IN ADMINISTRATOR MODE- and ran the batch file from there.
It immediately kicked off and I was off and running.
For those of you that don't know what I am talking about, I was upgrading... using instructions from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433783
I hope this helps... it bugged the crap out of me... but the feeling of relief certainly makes up for it.
Well the thing is it doesn't work on windows or Linux with my bionic. I've tried various Android devices that I own and all of them work on both of my operating systems except for my bionic

I just installed Eclipse 2.2 on my Bionic and now i am getting the same issue. Has anyone found an answer or a fix for this? Also, does the .902 patch have anything to do with it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Once i had this problem the only way i fixed this was by using RSDLite to flash a FXZ. Changing ROMs didnt work, nothing worked but that. It wont affect RSD reading the phone in AP Fastboot mode. Just make sure you install moto drivers and have the newest version of RSD Lite. That worked for me, now I have my adb back

Are you using Safestrap recovery? If so I think that may be the issue.
Try downloading "ADB Over Wifi" from the market.
Then "adb connect iport"
The widget should show you ip/port when you activate it.
Bionic 2.2 Eclipse adb device offline
Hello,
I am having the same problem. I'm using Safestrap. Droid Bionic on the 902 update, rooted with Eclipse 2.2. Everything is fine except adb shows my device as offline. I've looked on this forum and searched and it's not the cable. Also ADB over WIFI does not work. I'm not sure why it has the result it does there should not be 2 ports...
COMMAND: adb connect 10.0.2.2:5555
RESULT: unable to connect to 10.0.2.2:5555:5555

First of all, it automatically adds 5555 into your address so instead use
Adb connect 10.0.2.2 or whatever your ip is. And as far as not showing your device with a USB cord, try various other cables. I have over ten cables and maybe two work with my bionic. I urge you to use as many as possible before my next recommendation. This problem screwed with me for a couple months and finally i booted into fastboot mode and FXZd my phone. I booted my phone up after that and adb worked perfect. I don't know what causes this.

Eventually I discovered why adb wasn't working. Apparently there was no adb daemon running. I came across this in a different thread awhile back. Once I copied it to my phone's /sbin/ directory (there was a link to the file in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974824) and ran adbd from a terminal I could use logcat. However it was removed everytime the phone cycles power so only a temporary fix. I was considering trying another rom instead of eclipse 2.2. It was also buggy in that when I tried to do an adb install it broke terminated the daemon.
If you're using linux I always do "sudo adb start-server"

Trouble Rooting Kindle Fire HD

i have a Kindle Fire HD 7" with the system version of 7.2.1 and i wanted to ether put ICS or even Jelly bean on it so that i could have that Android Interface instead of the Amazon book self thing which im not very fond of and also have the Play Store. I spent all of yesterday, not exaggerating, all of yesterday trying to root my device. So i watched all the videos on you tube and read a ton of threads about it here at XDA and i just dont know what im doing wrong.
So first i download the Kindle Fire Utility (KFU) and installed the drivers(in device manager it showed my kindle fire and under it Android Composite ADB Interface), then plugging in my device i ran the "run" batch file. and the red command prompt pops up and it brings up the menu and at the bottom it says "ADB Status: Online, Boot Status Unknown" so i tried changing the boot mode to normal or fast boot,just changing it at all would have been nice but it always just stays as unknown. i tried hitting 1 to change to different boot mode but it would just reboot with no changes. then i tried entering 2 "installing permanant root with superuser" and twards the bottom of the screen its says rebooting device into fast boot mode, installing FFF, waiting for device. and it reboots and thats it, it doesnt go anywhere from there. so then i went to "6" extras and then "1" install google app / Go launcher which actually did work i have the Play store and Go Launcher (it says installed but its no where to be found on the device) and i also tried all the other options on the main menu, install TWRP, CLOCKWORKMOD and FFF and they all say missing directory and my kindle reboots and it says waiting for device and thats it nothing happens
SO i gave up with that method
so then i tried using the SDK -> ADB-> platform tool command prompt method and typed everything perfectly just like the threads and videos said to and still its like i got no where. i typed everything in just as shown and it seemed to be working but at the end it didnt work ether. i wish i had more specifics of what i typed in and what it said back in the command prompt but i did this yesterday so its gone now. i Dont know what im doing wrong and its very frustrating
(keep in mind im a noob and simple terms would be appreciated)

WARNING!!
Firstly your Using a Kindle Fire HD. That is different to the Kindle fire. Even with root I dont think your gonna be running Jelly Bean just yet. You will probably brick the device if you use a standard Kindle Fire ROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok first download and Install the Android SDK. Put it where its easy to find. I use c:\ . Once thats done open SDK manager and tick next to Android SDK Platform-tools and click the box for Install packages.
Once thats done See this page: http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/13/how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver/
This gives the most stable ADB I have found.
OK next see this thread. This is automated root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838.
If that still doesnt work (It didnt for me and others). Watch this Video. http://youtu.be/CYDBoTtdvcE This is the manual method. For a bigger look at the code see this page: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-root-amazon-kindle-fire-hd-7-8.9-on-android-4.0.4-ics/
On this page the open quote looks like a tilde EDIT thats actually a grave accent...I always called it the tilde key. Its not just use the KB apostrophe ( ' ) wherever you see a quote!
Hope this helps and I hope I dont get into trouble for posting external Links. Just trying to help!

[Q] ADB device unauthorized, no root, can't figure it out?

Hey, all. So, I just got a Moto X through AT&T, and I'm looking to root it. It came with the 4.4 update already on it, so I've been trying to follow the appropriate guides from jcase, but I'm running into an error very early on. After I download the ADT bundle and get adb installed and have it up and running, I was at first finding that my device wasn't showing up when I did the command "adb devices". I fixed this by getting the drivers from motorola with their device manager download, but...
Now I'm getting it showing up as an unauthorized device. I have USB debugging enabled, to start. I never received an authorization option when plugging my phone into my computer. I have it set to PTP, not MTP. I've tried toggling the USB debugging off and on multiple times, I've tried the revoke usb debugging authorization multiple times, and I've gone through and deleted the .android folder in C->Users->me. Since I don't have root, I can't go through and delete any sort of folder in my phone involving adb, because I saw that a lot as I've been doing google searches on how to try and fix this before posting here. One of my attempts when deleting .android involved me unplugging my Moto X, deleting the .android folder, running adb kill-server and then adb start-server commands, and rebooting my Moto X before plugging it back in. I still have never received an option to authorize my device.
I am running on Windows 8.1, if that makes any difference. I checked my adb version using the command, and it shows me running adb version 1.0.31. I am rather new to playing around with phones and whatnot, and all of the things I have tried were things that I found through google searches that pointed me to threads here at XDA. I'm willing to try pretty much anything, and I will report back and give further information if needed.
Thanks in advance, all

i also use mine on MTP but im running win7
issue def sounds like you did not allow the connection. have you tried uninstalling the drivers in device manager for the phone restarting and letting windows reinstall them and see if you can get the toast on your phone and accept it.
if that fails i would try competley reinstalling everything or trying another computer, another cable, another port.

I tried PTP because people were saying that they were having better luck with phones in PTP, not MTP. I haven't tried uninstalling the drivers yet, which might be the issue. I tried initially just plugging my phone in before I downloaded the Motorola Device Manager program, so I'll try going through and uninstalling the drivers, and the MDM program, and then reinstalling (when I get home from work).
I'll try another port, and I can also try another computer, so I'll also do that when I get home. Thanks for your response, and I'm really hoping this works :good:

i looked threw a couple threads of people having this issue. this is the order i would troubleshoot myself one other thing i have read is something about unsigned drivers which i dont think you should be having any issues with it but if you ever see a window that states about unsigned drivers reboot your PC while tapping F8 and tap the down arrow till you highlight Disable driver signature required i think is what it says and see if that helps
1. drivers only(make sure you restart after you remove the drivers and make sure you check the box for delete drivers)
2. different port
3. different cable
4. complete reinstall of adb and everything.( also restart after you uninstall everything.)
5. different computer (or use virtual PC if you don't have another PC)
6. re post here lol
Hope this all helps man

So, I've done everything in this list, and also added trying forums.motorola.com/posts/caa12135bd?commentId=725256#725256 out. I'm pretty much out of ideas, because everything I've searched showed pretty much everything you've suggested (and that I tried!) as suggestions
I appreciate the help, but so far (at this rate), I think I might just not have to root. This is super frustrating to me!
EDIT: Actually, I think I finally have something here! After hooking it up to another computer, installing the adk and everything, making sure all the drivers showed up as installed correctly and getting nothing I pretty much resided to giving up. I, for whatever reason, decided to try and run adb. After I did, and ran the start-server command, it gave me the window to accept my laptop's fingerprint! Finally on to follow the rest of the guides!
Thanks!!!
Second edit: So, proceeding to step 3 or so in RockMyMoto, I'm encountering another issue. When running Impactor and trying to run telnet on port 2222 or whatever that is, I get an error that says Signature Bugs unavailable. If I'm understanding correctly, I have to do everything in this guide to downgrade to 4.2.2 or whatever the version with the camera update is, because there isn't a root available for 4.4 without downgrading. But now I'm seeing that I somehow need to downgrade from 4.4 to the previous version in order to get Impactor/telnet working correctly?
I'm super lost now :C
well in order to root 4.4 you have to downgrade to 4.2.2 camera update. if your not sure on how to do it here is a link to a video on how to do it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
and if you are having issues with telnet here is a guide that might help

if after reading that if you are still lost i can setup remote access via Teamviewer and show you how to do it. but only if you are comfortable with it.

So I'm going to work on downgrading to 4.2.2 camera update right now. Thanks for all these links and offers for help :good:. I'll report back, hopefully with a successful root
EDIT: A question for you. Am I able to run my phone in ART runtime after I root it, should I stay in dalvik or w/e it is, or does it not matter?

Alright, cool. I'll make a backup after I'm done with everything and try it out. Maybe do some poking around here first, see if it came up at all.
I've hit a few snags, but so far I've figured everything out. I'm working on doing SlapMyMoto right now, which is the last step for root and to be on 4.4, yeah?

I didn't want to bug you with this, so I had made a post over in the SlapMyMoto thread, but I'll put it up here. If you don't wanna bother, I'll hang around in the SMM thread and wait for a response.
"I've done everything from 1-3, including accepting and installing the OTA update to 4.4. I'm trying to run the last command in step 4, the adb shell stuff, but literally nothing is happening. I still have access from motowpnomo, I checked using the write_protect command, and it is still showing a "0" I don't know what to do at this point, though.
USB Debugging is on, adb devices shows my phone as being connected correctly
This is a screen cap of what my command prompt shows after I input that command from step 4

Any suggestions?"

everything looks fine bro just finish the last command and then run root checker you should be fine.
i know when i ran mine nothing happened also, after the last command wait a few mins if nothing happens toggle Bluetooth like is says and if it does not restart then restart the phone and you should be good if not we will figure it out
i might downgrade just to run back threw it to see if i can figure it out and maybe put together a package for you that i know works. but i am on the sprint X

EDIT: I got it! Yeah!! :highfive: I found someone suggesting to take the phone back to 4.2.2 with this error message and redo SMM, and it stuck! Downloaded root checker, and I got a congrats result! Thanks so much, mate! You've been such a huge help; I was going to give up the first night before I even decided to post here!
I'm glad to hear you got it rooted finally if you have any other questions or need any ideas on what to do please feel free to pm me anytime

[Q] Kindle Fire HD Stuck Booting on TWRP Instead of Android

I've tried a bunch of tutorials on here to fix this, but can't figure it out.
I was on my Kindle HD 8.9" running CyanogenMod 10.1, which it has for a year. Suddenly, I got some popup last night. It said there was a nightly build update in my notifications area, so I just clicked "OK" and let it do its thing. It installed for a little bit, all was okay... but now I cannot access my Android OS.
I went to turn my Kindle on after the update, but it keeps going to TWRP. What will happen exactly is it starts... orange letters... then blue letters... then restarts again to orange letters... then blue letters... then TWRP. Why does it keep going to TWRP? How do I fix this?
My Kindle can't even connect to the PC. I just either get "Unknown Device" or "Kindle" in my Device Manager, and mounting from TWRP does nothing.
Then I try installing the Android SDK to get the ADB on my machine, and I added the "Path" in my environment to the two tools folders, but nothing... same thing happens. Constant loop into TWRP. Driving me nuts.
The update it wanted me to install when I could still get into the Android OS was cm-11-20140420-NIGHTLY-jem. I thought maybe trying to connect my Kindle to my PC in order to open the drive, then pasting the cm-11-20140420-NIGHTLY-jem into a folder and installing again from TWRP would solve my problem, but I can't even get that far.
I'm at a loss. Please help.

boot into twrp, check what version of twrp you have. Then you may need to update your twrp to be cm 11 compatible if its not at latest version, current version is like 2.7.0.0(least it is for the 7", havnet check to see if that builds out for 8.9 as well), anyways check the device manager for a device with a yellow triangle next it, if you don't see that and you do have a adb interface showing up but adb doesnt detect it then uninstall the adb device and mtp device and search for devices, if it still doesnt work look for a component device with a vid of 1949 in the properties>details>hardware id's section, if you find it then remove it and scan for device. Windows is a pain in terms of drivers for the kindle in different modes. Once adb is working its as simple as pushing the rom with adb push. You may need to factory reset and/or wipe internal storage so i recommend backing up the data, i would assume the current bootloop has something to do with either no factory reset before going to cm 11 or selinux issues, but that would mean the kernel didnt flash in the ota which would be weird.

Now I'm all screwed up. Before I saw this message, I restored my Kindle back to when it was still running the factory default OS with root, then I shut it down to enter TWRP, and it appeared on its own, but it was installing some sort of update... and when the Kindle's factory default OS appeared, my root was gone. Now I am stuck on the factory default Kindle HD 8.9" on System Version 8.4.8. Man, I should have never accepted that update and just left it as it was. Ugh. Well, for right now, there's an entry in my Device Manager that says "Kindle Fire" and when you click the arrow to bring down the submenu, it says "Android ADB Interface." The Kindle is now working when connected through USB. Now... how do I go about rooting this thing and getting TWRP on it again, because it seems the entire thing got erased. Not having my ROM installed on this thing makes it mostly useless to me.
Root with kffa or binary's root, think the newest version has different choices than the tutorial, use the old normal method. Last I checked it worked.

I can't find anything. Download links are dead for KFFA. You have a link to get it through another source?
They are up and running when I click em. You were on this thread right?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
If that doesn't work you can always use binary's root.

Nah, the link is dead here. Says the file was removed. There are other members in the forum asking as well for a new link.
I managed to get ADB working, and in Device Manager, I have "Android Device -> Android Composite ADB Interface."
I open CMD and type "ADB" and it scrolls a bunch of stuff, but when I type "ADB Devices" I get a list with nothing there. It's just blank.
I tried using BIN4RY Revision 33, using Option #1, but it just keeps bringing me to a "Path not Found" error of some sort.
It looks like all I need to manage to do now is get ADB to list my Kindle device before attempting the ROOT, but how can I do that?
I still wanna give KFFA a try, but no downloads anywhere, and I don't trust random 4Share and the likes, not that it's gonna fix my problem.
I'm close... I just need this damn ADB to list my Kindle device and I think I'll be okay.
Also, I want to say thanks for the help you've given me so far. It's greatly appreciated. :highfive:

No problem, i like helping people fix things.
Try uninstalling the device and letting it search for new hardware. This is more than likely a driver issue.

Oh, believe me. I tried that like 50 times. I think I'm just gonna make a virtual machine of Win7, completely clean install without all my drivers everywhere, and try my luck there.

From the administrator profile on your PC open a command prompt and type Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON then hit enter. Now restart your computer. This will disable Windows driver security enforcement. Then try to install the drivers in the device manager.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I'm pretty sure one or more of my drivers are interfering with the connection to the Kindle, but this is such an old OS with so many drivers, it's hard to tell.
Right now, I have a Virtual Machine of Windows 7 up. I plugged my Kindle in and I can instantly see it. I can even enter the internal storage! I'm currently installing the Android SDK for the ADB after installing the Java SE x86 version. Once I get ADB on it, I'll see if it lists my device now. Seems promising since the VM sees and allows me to already enter the internal storage, unlike my original Win7 OS.
EDIT #1: Great news! ADB now lists my device! Thing is... Root with Bin4ry Revision 33 does not seem to want to work. This is what I get...

EDIT #2: Success! The issue was I was using Root with Bin4ry Revision 33. I should have been using Root with Bin4ry Revision 30. That worked, and I am now ROOT. Mission accomplished. Now the next part of my mission... figuring out how to get TWRP on this thing.
Well, trying to install TWRP is going very wrong. I'm using the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175
Everything seemed to work until I get to Step 3. I'll enter the commands but it tells me that there is no such directory or something. Something about there not being any "stack." Can't recall. I wanted to ask on the thread there but the site isn't allowing me to post there.
adb push stack /sdcard/ is where the issue occurs. Everything else worked.
I'm at a loss, and the comments don't seem to help on that thread. Please tell me there is an easier method of getting TWRP on this thing.

He's on a 8.9", he just posted in the wrong section. Use the fireflash method from seokhuns tutorial, just don't forget to check the box with red text near it or you will get a nice redscreen brick. Lemme grab a link

I used FireFlash, followed the instruction... now I cannot get passed the first "Kindle Fire" logo when I turn the Kindle on. It just freezes at "Kindle Fire" as soon as I turn it on. I can't seem to do anything at all, and it won't connect via USB. Any ideas?
You missed a check box somewhere. If it is indeed a 8.9" kindle this should be fairly easy to fix. Open the device manager and plug the kindle in while it is off, it should briefly appear as a jem device. While it briefly shows up you need to right click it and hit update drivers and navigate to where you would have downloaded and extracted the drivers in my signature, once you manage to install them you just need to run a "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" with the kindle unplugged and off, and then plug it in once it says waiting for device. It should then go into fastboot mode where you can restore from kffa or SRT.

It's not working... it won't read at all. Device Manager doesn't see the Kindle at all. And yes it is 8.9". I think it may be bricked now. ;'(
And all because of that stupid update... ughhhh. Sucks!
You should try the command from a Ubuntu live CD/USB if is a lot easier to do from there, if it won't work from there then I would be convinced something may be wrong with the bootloader, but I don't see the bootloader as the problem because if anything it would have just been downgraded and I'm more inclined to thinking the bootimg is corrupted. That can cause odd behavior with the bootloader. Are you positive this is the 8.9" model and not the 7" model?

I switched over to my main Windows 7 OS and did what you said. I connected it and it showed for a brief moment in Device Manager, so I quickly loaded the driver and updated. But wen I type the command you gave me, it says <waiting for device>, so I plug it back in and... nothing. At all. Just sits there at <waiting for device>
I'd try Linux, I have several copies of different OS's, but I'm not very good at working with it or using Terminal... I can try that though, but no clue how I'd get ADB or the Kindle to read on it. :\
And yes, 100% it's the 8.9". The resolution is 1200p.
OK the command has to be run while the device is off and disconnected, once it says waiting for device, plug the kindle in and it should work if the drivers are working. Linux is really easy to use with a kindle, it has the fastboot and adb drivers built in natively, only thing you need is the fastboot command from the Ubuntu repos if you are using Ubuntu, believe they were added to the repo in 13.10.

Is it possible at all with adb to factory reset kindle without factory cable?

I believe I habe the kfsowi model. it is 11.3.1.0 it is rooted and I am wanting to factory reset it but I dont have a factory cable. just a normal usb cable that I've been using adb to transfer and even instlal some files because through tweaking it, it lead to a missing status bar in which i change the qmenu = to 0 and 1 or whatever in build.prop but no matter what it doesnt keep the status bar active at all times like it should be. it is non existent until i click on an app in apex, adw or any launcher ive tried then it flashes and disappears. during this flash it is not usable no matter how fast i click it.
also a small issue it has is ever reboot, it says kindle is upgrading but it is not upgrading at all because i have tried to click check now in settings to check for updates but every time it says update failed. next after that message it says starting applications for about 20 seconds. long bootup. i have probably messed with tweak i shouldnt have with pimp my rom and also android tweaker 2 and pro before it became 2. so the status bar is non existent. sucks cause cant even get facebook notifications lol.
i did factory reset it by the menu and also by using andromizer app to click recovery mode and do it that way.
(without status bar i been using all in one gestures but now recently i switched to using LMT.
this kindle has a few issues since i made it kinda as minimal as i could and probably uninstalled a couple things i shouldnt of lol like it only installs apps with adb install and adb install -r sometimes as well as through 1mobile market which is awesome. it will not sideload anything now because through uninstalling an extra deal or two i should of, it wont allow me to enable unknown sources installation through menus. if anyone knows a way to do this through terminal of linux that would be great
thanks to any help
or would there be any way to use the water beta without the cable and only using adb or any other steps. which to my understanding is the only rom so far. thanks
If you are rooted You should I think be able to run these commands from a terminal in Linux, if you meant a terminal on your kindle then take off the and shell in the commands I list to run.
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader
I think if you are rooted it will kick it into fastboot and you can restore without a cable.

With adb I can even push files to install since it is screwed up and I can't access the menu part for installing from unknown sources. that is the worst part of the few issues I have with it.
after I enter those commands it only reboots normally. it doesn't go into the bootloader. I can get it to go into recovery mode where I am able to just do a normal wipe of the device but that is about it.
just to make sure I understand this. with a fastboot cable and all it is a different method from just a normal "wipe and reset" isn't it? it is using an untouched .img or something to put back to actual FACTORY as if bought from store? cause the normal wipe and factory reset doesn't put back the items I uninstalled of course from system and what not.
also is this safe to do without a factory cable. I just haven't ever needed one before and even if there is an extra step or two I don't mind instead of waiting a week for a cable.
Actually you might not even need the fastboot cable, if I remember correctly the restore method for that device would normally flash a system image that is smaller and incomplete because the system IMG is to big for fastboots 's buffer, then when it was just bootable enough to have adb push a file, it would push a amazon update file and run a command that forces the system partition to update back to stock from the update zip. So you should be able to simply push the update file for your amazon os version or older/newer and force update it. I don't have instructions handy right now for doing this and its late so maybe I post them tomorrow.

if you could do that that'd be awesome. thanks. I just read up about a locked bootloader but I've seen it's made some progress. I just need to be sure to not turn it into a drink coaster lol.
I finally found a way to do factory reset thanks to gran pc
How to reinstall FireOS
Botched your /system partition beyond recognition? Everything is broken? Dropped your #Kindle in a sea of piss and need to RMA it? Fear not! You can just reinstall FireOS and get it looking just as if we had never touched it!
First of all, you'll have to root your tablet. I'm assuming you know how to do this!
Once that's done, put this file -- https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin -- in /sdcard/ (you can use adb push).
Then run these commands:
jesunoiMac:multidownload granpc$ adb shell
[email protected]:/$ su -
[email protected]:/# cp /sdcard/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin /cache/update.zip
[email protected]:/# echo --update_package=/cache/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command
[email protected]:/# exit
[email protected]:/$ exit
jesunoiMac:multidownload granpc$ adb reboot recovery
If everything went well, you should see the 'installing update' screen -- and once you're booted, we're back to stock! We did it!!!!!!
s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin
funny thing is I rerooted after the clean update and forgot all about OTA's being automatic of course. The damn thing upgraded to 11.3.2.2 which I searched has NO root exploit right now. I am wondering if I can do the same above steps to go back to 11.3.1 but that is a downgrade and I am worried about a brick although amazon new update is like an iphone you can't tell any difference haha
also is the above way how you install ICE or hellfire?

ah good you found it before i could look it up. It will downgrade just fine, but you will probably need a fastboot cable to do it. If ICE or hellfire are roms then no, the 2013 isn't flashable with the exception of kindlewater. Since the bootloader is locked we are limited to using amazon's bootimg(kernel+intram fs).

ok sounds like I need to find out if putting water on this without a fastboot cable is possible then
