[Q] KFHD 2013 boot loop - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to remove the ads from my KFHD 2013, and only found out later, that the tool I used was intended for the 2012 version only.
My kindle is now stuck in a boot loop. Can you help me to fix it? I'm not sure which tool I can use, for the guides here in the forum usually don't mention which version they require.
The fastboot mode is still working, however the adb driver seems to be unable to find my device.
thanks!

Adb commands don't work with fastboot mode, only fastboot commands work with fastboot mode, like
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
There is a utility that will reflash your system to stock in the general section. Don't use kffa with your device though.

Thanks, but the tool is unfortunately not available. The website doesn't exist. Is there another option?

Leave a post in that thread. Gran PC is the one who made the tool. As updates come things have to be changed. He's the one who can get you to the right tool for your Soho.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 7' 2013 model stuck at boot logo

So well recently i had been messing around with my kindle fire hd running 11.3 firmware and bricked it by messing with the system. I am currently stuck on the kf bootlogo every time i power on. i have purchased a factory cable from ebay, and when i plugged it into my pc it went straight into fastboot. im not really sure on what to do now. tried so many forums but nothing seems to work. please someone help me to restore to stock firmware or unbrick it. please guyss! will be so grateful!
thanksss

You need to flash a system image to it to fix it, unfortunately I don't know where to get hold of a 2013 one, but it should be fixable. The 2012 images wouldn't be compatible so don't bother with trying them.

You would run something like this
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.img
but you will need the images and the fastboot command.

Thanks again man, but can you please provide the images and the commands, cant seem to find them anywhere. when you mean run the code, you mean using terminal right? sorry for all the hassle, kinda new to this whole rooting thing.
ps; will i be able to use KFFAIDE to help me? everytime i run a command, it says "device not reccognized" and similar quotes.
thanks mate for the help!
As far as I know kffa doesn't support the new HD model, and I don't know where to get images for it. If someone else with a rooted device would simply just dd a copy of their system partition and host it, it would be very useful... And yes you run it from a terminal/command prompt.

So that means I would have to wait a while for someone to do a copy? that would be in, say a few months right?

With the number of bricks this device has had, I'm suprised no one has done this already. If only I could get my hands on my mom's KFHD 2013..

ok well in either situation your going to need a fastboot cable/adapter, i recommend getting the blackhat adapter mentioned in hashcodes 2nd bootloader + twrp tutorial. Now for the other thing i need to know, is this a 2012 or 2013 model? (2013 has no front facing camera)
It does have a front facing camera. Can you give me a link? First time looking in the Kindle fire section.

Ok lemme grab 2 links you will need.
The thread i was talking about it this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
I personally recommend a custom rom over amazon os so that tutorial could be useful to you in the future should you decide to flash a custom rom on it. There's a link towards the top that goes to the site where you get the fastboot adapter.
Alright and secondly you will need this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
Read its instructions or you might have issues. Also when you plug in your kindle with the fastboot adapter it will show up as a tate device in the device manager, download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere on your computer, then in the device manager right click the tate device and hit update drivers and choose a place to search for them and choose where you extracted my drivers and it should install the drivers. If you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first though. Once drivers are working you should be able to restore with kffa.
well i ordered the fastboot adapter and it does go into fastboot mode but i have tried a few utilities and they all seem to blow right threw the process. its like it seeing the phone but not doing anything. the only thing i can think of is USB debugging was not turned on and that may be why i cant get it to act right. of course i cant turn it on cause i'm stuck at the logo so is there a way around that or is there a program like Samsung has called Odin that i can use to flash stock everything on?
Nonono. Adb has nothing to do with fastboot. Adb commands can't even be used with fastboot, only fastboot commands can. Try opening a command prompt that's cd'd into a directory with fastboot in it (kffa or SRT) and run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", if it reports back something then we can establish that fastboot is atleast working.

Kffa was one of the links I sent you.... download and extract it. Shift + right click it's folder and hit New command window here. Then run that command I mentioned.

i did what you said and at first i didn't but eventually got the command you told me to put in to recognize and read something tate in the command window but i did not see tate in device manager and the utilities still blows though really fast and dont work. im on vista so do you think that is the problem? this is really pissing me off that i cant get this figured out. im about to uninstall everything and delete everthing and start over.

well the good news is that means fastboot is working, it only is called a tate device in the device manager initially, once you isntall th edrivers it will show up a s a adb interface which is confusing becuase you don't use adb with fastboot. Anyways you should be able to attempt manualyl flashing the device from that command prompt now using certain commands like
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash <partition name> imagename
so something like
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img
it could be that kffa failed to retreive the files or something so it dint flash, sometimes its download links don't work, try srt i think linear posted the link to it, it might actually work out of the box.

[Q] Wiped Internal Storage Including TWRP

Kindle Fire HD 7 1st gen
The title says it all. I was following this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409435
Followed everything it said.
It stated "If not, wipe all above except for your internal storage (/sdcard) and flash the zip file you downloaded earlier then afterwards, wipe your Internal Storage (/sdcard)."
I asked "Just to be completely clear, if I download the zip to my device, I wipe EVERYTHING BUT the internal storage, then I can flash it, and then wipe JUST the internal storage?"
Instead of waiting for an answer, I just did it. As you can imagine, I have a brick now. No TWRP, no recovery mode, just the static orange "Kindle Fire" logo forever. Nothing happens at all when plugging it into my pc, doesn't even recognize any device being plugged in. Called Amazon, and since it's past the one year warranty mark they won't replace it.
So, I guess I just need someone else to tell me that all is completely lost and there is nothing more I can do so I can move on and stop worrying about it and get some sleep.
That's completely fixable, you just need a fastboot cable to kick it into fastboot mode so you can reflash it. I recommend the blackhat adapter that hashcode mentions in his twrp + second bootloader tutorial.

Cool! Thanks for that. I was under the impression that since my pc didn't think anything was even being plugged in that a fastboot cable wouldn't work. I'll definitely try this out!

Well, got a fastboot cable. It origionally showed up in device manager as an unknown device "tate-pvt-08", so I installed the kindle hd adb drivers, and now it appears in the device manager as Kindle Fire - Android Composit ADB Interface, but when I use adb devices in the cmd window, it always returns "List of devices attached" followed by a blank line.
Tried adb kill-server, and android update adb, but so far no luck. almost seems like there's no device info left on my kindle. Any clue as to what I can do?
BTW, tried this on 2 pcs, first Windows 8, and then Vista
adb commands don't work with fastboot mode, only fastboot commands work with fastboot mode. Ex: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

That makes sense. Thanks for the help/patience.
Now at least I know what to do. I'm currently following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254&highlight=network+error and at the end of the download, I had a "network error" Currently trying to not scream and destroy things. Trying again from IE instead of chrome, but man <200 KB/sec dl speeds are going to drive me insane.....
If I take anything away from this experience, it's have the right tools, and always make backups.
I'm back in business in factory w/root. now I can sleep again.

ADB works, but fastboot won't recognize device. Can't update TWRP to 2.7 for kitkat

edit : crap ..... worng section ... how do I delete ?
Hello.
I have a KFHD 7" happily running under Hashcode's CM10.0. I'd like to update to kitkat.
For that, it seems I need to upgrade my recovery from TWRP 2.4 to 2.7. ( If the rom should install under TWRP 2.4, let me know, cause I got an error when I tried. )
So, after messing a bit with my drivers, I got ADB to work fine.
However, I need fastboot to update recovery. My Kindle can go into fastboot, no problem.
But windows just won't recognise it. "Fastboot devices" always show no devices connected.
I tried with various drivers ( including those from QEMU thread ) on 2 differents computers.
So I'm starting to wonder if there is something I missed in the virious threads. Is there something I should know that would prevent me from seing the device under fastboot but not ADB ?

If you have the image,try using FireFlash by stanga72. Just place the image on the sdcard,open fireflash,select "Flash Recovery" and choose the image. Hit Flash,and reboot into recovery.

For some reason, Kindle devices won't be recognized in fastboot without the specific flag "-i 0x1949". For example, "fastboot devices" becomes "fastboot -i 0x1949 devices" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" becomes "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img".
I'm positive this is the issue.
Have a nice day!

[Q] Bootloop after exploiting files from CM

Hi there,
I have a new KFHD 7" with bootloader version 7.4.9, which I tried to put a custom ROM with the How-To from the Cyanogen website (Install_CM_for_tate).
I have a fastboot cable and everything went fine, after flashing the files, the device started TWRP. I pushed the CyanogenMod and Gapps over, which completed successfully and then back-upped as recommended.
After that, I was asked if I wanted it to install SU which I accepted. In the next reboot, I got into a bootloop with the kindle logo not turning blue anymore.
I tried to reflash, but that resulted also in a bootloop without getting into TWRP.
Any ideas what I should try next? Thanks!

Use the KFHD system restore tool. Make sure it's for the 7" tablet. You'll need a fastboot cord to restore.

Thanks for your reply!
I tried following the instructions from Thread 1951254.
Problem is, I plugged in the fastboot cable, the Kindle shows the fastboot logo, I enter
Code:
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
and get
Code:
error: device not found
When entering
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
the product type is printed.
I thought adb commands don't work in fastboot mode?
Is it maybe the Kindle boot version that I have? I think it was 7.4.9...
Adb takes adb commands.
Fastboot takes fastboot commands.
There is no need to issue a reboot command because you are already in bootloader mode (fastboot).

The ADB commands are there in case you still have access to your OS and root. That's when this can be done with a regular USB cord. You don't have that so use your fastboot cord to enter fastboot automatically (should.) Run the bat and choose option 3.
