A while back I had rooted my kindle and it bricked. I bought a factory cable and used KFFA to restore it. Now it's stuck in a boot loop and isn't recognized by adb but will boot into fastboot mode. Is there anything I can do?
Edit: I can also boot it without the fastboot cable and it'll go right back into the boot loop.
I can't find KFFA, it looks like the link in the thread for it was dead. I'm not sure where to go from here. Though I remembered what happened last time and got it to recognize in fastboot
Note that this forum contains instructions for the original Kindle Fire. Try the Kindle Fire HD forums, as instructions here will surely brick your device.

A couple of questions:
1.) Are you unplugging the fastboot cable and plugging in a normal USB cable after the device is in fastboot mode?
2.) Is your fastboot cable home-made?

1.) Am I supposed to do that? Because I am not.
2.) No, I bought it off of Amazon.

Yeah, the fastboot cable is for putting the device into fastboot mode only. After you're in fastboot, you have to disconnect the factory cable and plug in a normal USB cable. Then your PC and device can communicate.
Also, you can't use ADB commands in fastboot mode. You have to use fastboot commands. For example:
fastboot -i 0x1949 devices
should give you an output of what's plugged in at the moment. From there, you can use KFFA to restore the device, or you can do it manually by flashing the images yourself.

Thanks a ton,KFFA works but I'm having different issues now. I can't get wifi to turn on. It doesn't even act like I'm pressing the On button for the wifi and it defaulted to off.

Hopefully you have a backup of the original boot, recovery, and system images. If so, this is what worked for me using the fastboot cable:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
Disconnect the cable immediately after issuing the reboot command in order to get a normal boot. From here you should be back in Kindle mode but still rooted with Fireflash app installed. Go to settings/apps and clear out Fireflash data and cache. Then re-run Fireflash to install the freedom boot loader, stack overide file and twrp recovery. Review Hashcodes install procedures again. This all got twrp recovery going again for me but if you want to flash a rom you must put it in the "0" sdcard folder for twrp to see it.

I have no backups whatsoever. It's been a long time. I honestly don't care if it's rooted anymore either. At this point I just want it to work. And I have no clue what half of what you said meant...
All I need is for it to connect to wifi,regardless of whether or not it's rooted. I ran KFFA again and chose option 2 again and still have the same problem. The wifi switch just flat out won't turn on.

Well, if you're rooted and can access ADB, try running these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
svc wifi enable
See if that enables wireless.
I don't know if it works with Amazon's stock software, but it worked just now on my Kindle running CM11.

I'm not exactly sure how to run ADB, but I'm still running the stock software. adb shell works, but I get an error with 'su' and 'svc wifi enable' What it looks like it's doing is getting stuck turning the wifi on. When I first boot it up the wifi switch is lit up until I press 'ON' then it goes dark and sits there.

You run ADB from the command line or a terminal. If 'su' doesn't work, then that means that you're not rooted. The third command might only work if 'su' works, meaning it needs root privileges to work.

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.

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.

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.

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
I have Kindle Fire HD 7 - 11.3.1.0
I am an adb users. I know how to use it. If that helps. My problem is that I cannot get the device to boot into fastboot. I run the command adb devices and it sees my device.. I reboot it, shell, etc. But when I run the "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" command it stays on wait for device. I am using the factory cable that came with the device. It is new. I have run out of ideas... I start with a powered off device (adb is enabled in the settings).. I run the command on the command line.. its now sitting on waiting for device....I plug in the cable .. it powers up.. but just boots. I was able to root the device.. but will NOT boot to fast boot...
Please let me know if I am missing something..
Thanks

If its rooted run this
Code:
adb shell "su -c 'reboot bootloader'"
What exactly are you trying to achieve with fastboot, that's a 2013 HD, we only have root access so I don't know what you want to use fastboot for.

I want to flash it back to the earlier version .. is this not possible.. it seems to be...reading that it needs to be reverted to 7.3 or something..

Woooo, slow down. You have the 2013 Kindle Fire HD 7 and there are no exploit for the bootloader yet. You're gonna brick your tablet. That exploit is for the 2012 Kindle Fire HD 7 only. Stop now and know there is only root available for your tablet at the moment.
Hi.
I've got the same problem - but got 2012 device ( no. D059, camera on left (or right/down/up if you like ) side of screen )
I use typical usb cable, got root acces, adb see my device. But when I plug after typing "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" its normally booted up to system
any advices?

Woa there don't attempt that. 2013 kindle fire hd's aren't supposed to run a 7.x.x os, that's the version used on the previous years, your is supposed to be 11.x.x.

anybody?
I look for factory cable, but in Poland it is unavailable anywhere is there possibility to do something with normal usb cable?
"adb reboot bootloader", also what are you attempting to do with fastboot, just wanna make sure you aren't trying to downgrade to an os not meant for your device (aka anything besides 11.x.x is not meant for your device and will brick it).

I want to flash custom rom.
Read my first post in this thread - my Kindle is 2012 device.
But problem is same that adkg12's so I post here, altough write new one
Eh I would just use the fireflash method as it doesn't require fastboot access, though if you don't see the checkbox next to the red text and leave it unchecked your kindle will have a red screen that only a fastboot cable can fix. Might be less dangerous for you to just use the method you are using then, as long as you check everything's md5sum then its a lot safer for you since you can't get your bands on a fastboot cable.

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.

Hey guys, I've got a KFHD 7" running system 7.4.9 and I was able to root it today successfully and I would like to install the LiquidSmotth 4.4.4 ROM on it.
The problem that I'm having is that I need a recovery likw TWRP 2.7+ but the instructions are way too complicated and they mention a 2nd bootloader which requires a special cable, what the hell, is it that complex?
I appreciate if anyone can point out a more human way of getting TWRP 2.7 or CWM for KK on my Kindle v 7.4.9.
Thanks!

Alright. Let's get you started.
First of all,use the Kindle fire system restore tool to downgrade to 7.4.6 OR 7.2.3. Either will do. Next,root it using the Bin4ry tool and download the TWRP 2.7.0.0 image with the freedom boot image that is corresponding to your software version. Then,flash them using FireFlash or Flasher or manual method.
Bingo.

Hi man, I'm getting "No such file or directory" when I try to reboot in fastboot mode, here's the output:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices -l
List of devices attached
D025A0A024121UQQ device
C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
[-] exec: No such file or directory
C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools>
When I ran that command on the Kindle I got a root prompt and I allowed it.
Under the device manager I have listed: N2A ADB Mode / Kindle ADB Mode | HD 7

So I ran it again and it kept says "waiting for device", my Kindle is rooted with "Mulai Root" and I used root checker to confirm that it is rooted.
I turned the Kindle off.
I issued the command on the command prompt.
The command prompt said "waiting for device".
I plugged in the USB cable.
The Kindle turned on.
The Kindle booted all the way to the launcher.
The command prompt kept saying "waiting for device".
I would appreciate any more ideas.
Thank you!

Yes, I just installed and ran it using root access. But I'm running system 7.4.9, what should I do now with the app open to downgrade?
The program states "Warning: current bootloader is not kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin"
Can you help me using FireFlash to downgrade?
Thanks
The culprit was the chinese or vietnamise root, I rooted again using qemu and now I was able to boot into fastboot mode.
I hae a big problem, I sued the Kindle Fire First Aid to restore to 7.2.3 and now my kindle stays on the boot logo.
How can I restore it now?
EDIT: Never mind, it actually booted up.
Hey, I managed to get downgraded and now I'm on this part:
TWRP 2.7.0.0 image with the freedom boot image that is corresponding to your software version.
I'm confused if I should install a 2nd-bootloader or not, I installed fire flash already, let me know if you can help me with a link with the next steps to perform.
Thanks
I think I kind of managed to do it, the problem now is that TWRP loads but the ROM I flashed didn't boot (Liquid Smotth 4.4.4), I'm going to start a new thread.
Thanks
