[Q] Kindle Fire HD 7" can't reboot. - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The problem with my kindle fire hd is that when I turn it on it first boots up normally but then it goes to a screen that says "Kindle Fire System Recovery. Your Kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot. Reseting your device to Factory defaults may help fix this issue." I have a factory cable and I have the driver set up on my computer. I just don't know what to download and what to do. Also I would like to know if I can recover the data that's on it because that's the reason why I'm trying make it work.
I'm sorry if there's already a thread about this. I'm new and I don't where it would be.

What did you do to it? And you can use the Kindle Fire First Aid to go completely stock.

I didn't do anything to it. I just used it normally and it wouldn't start. I never tried to root it or anything before it acted up. Completely stock? What does that mean? How do I use Kindle Fire First Aid? I'm sorry I have no idea what I'm doing. XD I thought I was tech savvy but I feel like a baby trying to learn this.

Kindle Fire HD 7" restore problem

I recently decided to restore my rooted Kindle Fire HD 7." The kindle starts just fine, and displays the normal kindle fire boot screen. However, instead of the usual Amazon start-up and device registration screen, it gave me the default Android startup. However, everytime I hit start, the setup wizard ends up crashing. I had the Google Play store installed before the unroot. I have not messed around with custom roms, or anything like that. Windows sees the Kindle just fine, however it doesn't register under ADB. Is there anything I can do? I do not have a factory cable, nor can I find where to get one.

My Kindle Fire HD 7 is bricked. Pls.... Help.

Hello!! I am new to XDA!! I had rooted my Fire HD 7 and even installed a custom rom by following XDA methods and I was very happy and successful!!! I am not a full noob or beginner considering android. I know some stuff!! But I need help!!! Before I installed a Rom, I had backed up the stock Fire OS...... but the mistake I did was, I did not back up the Memory, Data and I backed up only the System folder!!! ( I came to know my mistake after I bricked my Fire). After using the Rom for quiet some time...... I decided to get back to the stock OS. So I did a factory reset and restored the back up (only the system folder). I got an error in restoring the back up. I tried many times again but I still got the error!!
Then I decided to reboot and see what happens........ I would get a normal blue kindle fire logo. Then........ I got a kindle fire blinking logo but not the orange one but a blue kindle fire blinking logo(It boots up forever, and does not boot up) !!! I was shocked!!! I don't think that's ever happened before with anyone!! I did not panic and I went to TWRP and mounted the SD card thinking that I will put a stock OS zip file and flash it, but even after mounting...... My PC did not recognize the Fire!! And then I messed up with my drivers ( I don't know what I did) and now not even the TWRP is showing up!!
Here is the condition of my Fire HD now :-
1) Get the kindle fire blue logo (custom bootloader) but TWRP is not showing up.
2) Then I get another Blue kindle fire logo, but the blinking one...... which should be orange.
3) That blinking blue logo goes on and on and my Fire never boots up!!
Pls Help!! I would appreciate a faster help!!! How do I fix this??
Thank You.
Well I was going to suggest making a backup of only the data partition from twrp then wiping system, cache, dalvik cache and factory reset then reflashing your os, but if you can't get into twrp I'd go with a fast boot cable and the system IMG restore utility in the android development section, assuming you don't have backups of all you partitions on your PC already.

Which software should I use?? KF First Aide or KFHD_SRT??
And one more question..... can't I get into fastboot mode without the factory cable??
Not without adb access though I haven't personally had to use fast boot before, but I thought I heard something around the lines of the 2nd boot loader having fast boot or something but I don't know if I'm imagining things or not. If you had full root access with adb you could reboot into fast boot, but since you have no os or a corrupt one you will probably need a fast boot cable I think. I am about to goto bed and don't want to have to get up and go search for my USB cable to have to kick my kindle in and out of fast boot. Oh and in this case I'd say use kfhd_srt

But it should be in fastboot mode right?? I managed to get into fastboot before the KFHD SRT. Now..... when I have boot loops.... PC is not recognizing my Fire HD!!! How do I get into fastboot?? (Without Factory cable)
You need a factory cable if its stuck in boot loops. Would love to know how the utility did this, it should have restored a fresh copy of all the stock partitions.

It was my mistake again!!!! I restored the Fire HD with option 2 on KFHD SRT and I then I went out of fast boot..... forgetting to clear Cache and user data!! Maybe that's the mistake I did!!

No landscape mode (also missing dtcp_apk advert file)

Hi,
I was hoping someone could please help?
I bought my Mum a Kindle Fire HD 7" (2012 model) and wanted to root it for her. I also have a 2012 Kindle Fire HD (2012 again) and have rooted, TWRP it and installed CM10.2 on it and everything is fine.
Now on my Mum's, after reverting to 7.2.3 from 7.4.6 in order to root, it is stuck in portrait mode. The screen is not locked in this mode and a clean boot (holding power button down for 20 seconds or so and powering up again) doesn't fix it.
There also seems to be a bright spot in the upper left hand side of the screen, which is more visible when the brightness is up.
The other thing is this model was one with the 'Special Offers' installed. I backed the dtcp_apk file, but have lost it trying to resolve the issues.
So, I was hoping somebody out there, by some chance, had a copy of this file so if I need to return the Kindle Fire, I can restore it to default.
I have no idea what could have happened to cause the landscape issue as I have flashed mine with various ROMs without issue.
Thank you for any help.
Phill
Edit: Have flashed 7.4.3 from Amazon, and the screen rotation is behaving ok now. Weird!
Still bothered about the bright spot on the screen and still require the dtcp_apk should I need to return it to Amazon.
Thanks!
The dtcp apk should be there if you reflashed the os, its one of the files flashed to the system partition in an update or reflash.

Thanks for the reply.
I was just about to update the post, as, indeed the dtcp_apk is back after the installation of 7.4.6. I had thought that it would be re-applied when the update was completed. Just glad to see that it was.
Still can't figure out why landscape stopped working using 7.2.3 though. Checked using the fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product command on both the Kindles and they are both the same Tate model.
Thanks again for your reply!

Kindle Fire possible brick?

Ok so I have a Kindle Fire HD that I had "hacked" to be a full Android tablet. It was flashed with CyanogenMod 'gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip'. I got the bright idea to update the CyanogenMod, and that's when it all went to sh!t. Now the thing only boots to Team Win Recovery Project.
Any suggestions on how I get past this? I attached a picture of what I am seeing when it boots.
Update twrp to 2.7, wipe system and your caches, flash the latest cm and the latest gapps.

OK. I am going to give it a go today. Thanks for the point in the right direction, I will provide updates.
Not sure what I did, but now the stupid thing isn't even coming on. Do I need the factory cable for this? If so that is at home, I will have to try this again later.

I wiped the device from the TWRP v2.6.3.0 screen. Now the only thing it does is boot to the TWRP v2.6.3.0 screen I referenced in an earlier post. I have been reading posts/threads and downloading different files into a folder for 2 days now. The thing is that my PC is not recognizing the Kindle in Windows Explorer, it does recognize it in Device Manager though.
I am at a loss for how to get anything I have on my pc over to the Kindle if it isn't showing in Windows Explorer. Oh...and I do have the factory cable with me as well.
So now the stupid thing is stuck in a boot loop it appears. It just keeps coming up with the Kindle Fire, fire is in orange. It does this with the cable plugged in and without.

[Q] Help needed kindle fire HD (TATE) not booting

Hi everybody
I've been running a rooted kindle fire hd for about a year with cyanogenmod and no problems. Tonight I downloaded the latest nightly update installed it with TWRP and re booted fine.
I kept getting google play services errors so decided to factory reset and clean everything up. Now I cannot get past the teamwin boot logo.
I see the orange kindlefire, blue kindlefire, then the teamwin logo flashes every 5 seconds.
Any ideas on how to recover this?
Regards
KP

i have the same problem and there seems to be no way to get the kindle in any state to do anything, all I've found out so far is that its stuck trying to factory reset and there should be a way to reverse this, i hope someone can give us a solution or i might as well call my kindle a paperweight.

Thanks for letting me know, I purchased a factory cable today. Seems to be recognised by my laptop, but the kindle doesnt go into fastboot. There seems to be a few people with this problem. I've not seen any help offered yet. I'm not holding out much hope, doesn't seem any way to communicate with it.
Where did you get your info?

i've found out a lot about bootloop issues and in most cases it seems like the first thing needed to fix the problem is a factory cable, i didn't get mine yet so i can't see if it will work but since your pc can see your kindle now you can try out kindle fire first aid 4.1.88-beta.
let me know if it works for you.

I'd already tried that. Seems because the kindle is not fully booting up then kindle fire first aid doesnt recognise it. Unless what i've been sent is actually a normal usb, then I dont see any way of sorting this. I'll wait to see if you have better luck

OK I may have cracked it here. I am no expert ( I wouldnt be in this mess if I was) i was playing with the adb commands with the factory cable connected.
Typed:
ADB devices
showed a device called D025A0A024540SF0 recovery
Typed:
ADB Reboot-Bootloader
Kindle fire boots into FASTBOOT screen. YEY ME!!!
Now i'm not really sure where to go, never used fastboot before.
After using kindlefire recovery tool, doing a wipe then option 2 my kindle booted up into TWRP.
I tried rebooting from here and now I get a flashing kindlefire logo.
occasionally i manage to get it into fastboot with the factory cable, but it doesnt stay there long enough to do anything. I hoping this is maybe a power issue so I'm leaving it plugged in overnight to attempt to charge it.
hope this info helps you, I feel like I was at a point to simply re flash a rom but messed up by rebooting from twrp.
I did it!!!!
Managed to get it to stay in fastboot mode and ran kindlerecover tool again. now have a working kindle running APEX launcher. Have to read up tomorrow and get cyanogenmod back.

Grats i'm glad it worked out for you man, i'll try out the same when i get my cable lol i ended up buying a new tablet thinking no one would solve this problem and now i just may have two if i get mine working also if you try loli pop again make sure you install gapps for it, that was my first mistake that led to me messing up my kindle the second being the factory reset, the devs should either disable or warn people not to try it since your screwed once you do anyways i'll give an update once i try to recover my kindle, cheers.
