I was trying to install twrp on my Kindle using a app from a tutorial. When I reboot to try twrp a red screen shows up so I order a fastboot cable, then i plug the fastboot cable in and get in to fastboot mode. FOR SOME REASON the kindle fire wont show as a fastboot device or a adb device even though i had the drivers.
So I reboot the kindle to see if its the kindle that's making the problem but on reboot the kindle just turns on shows fastboot then shuts off. P.S. windows does not detect anything. PLZ tell me I didnt hard brick my Kindle
Did you root it 1st?

You didn't hardbrick it. You missed the stack override before installing TWRP, so it shows you the red screen. You need a fastboot cable.

If it's a hardware issue, you'll have to take it apart & replace the faulty parts.

If it's not a driver issue, then you probably need to charge your battery somehow.

In trying to install a custom bootloader on my Kindle Fire HD 7", I bricked it. When trying to start it normally, it shows "kindle fire" for a few seconds, but then the screen goes black and it becomes totally unresponsive. When I tried booting it with a factory cable, it shows "kindle fire" for a few seconds, and then switches to the "fastboot" logo, but again it is unresponsive. In both cases, my kindle is never found by adb or fastboot or any other utility when connected to my computer. I'm fairly certain this not a driver problem, because my kindle was recognized before, which is how I rooted my kindle. Is there anything else I can try to unbrick my kindle? The main problem is that it is never recognized by my computer. Now what?
What custom bootloader did you try to install?

EEK!!!!
Messing with the bootloader on the kfhd is suicide. You may want to think about calling Amazon and see if they will replace it.
Go into fastboot mode and type this in command prompt wherever you have fastboot.exe and adb.exe (To do that just go to that folder, shift+right click anywhere and select open command window here).
Post the output
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
and idk if you know this but...if you get your kindle into fastboot mode... all you see is the logo nothing more, and everything else is done through command prompt in windows, So assuming you already know that, what made you think it is unresponsive?
Yeah he is right. Call them, tell them what happened but not how it happened.

The issue is that my kindle is not "discovered", "recognized", or whatever you want to call it by my computer. It has before, because I was able to root my kindle earlier, so I'm fairly certain that it isn't a driver problem, which is the usual response I've found. None of the fastboot commands work because my kindle can't be found.

Hmmm.. Thats weird what did you exactly do? I would try to reinstall the drivers. When you go into device manager do you see it there when it is plugged in? I had the same problem but my micro usb ports where fried in the Kindle bc I had a faulty fastboot cable.. Let us know if you see it in device manager..
If you tried to install Hashcode's 2nd bootloader, which is the only one that would work, it sounds like you missed a step somewhere. Is that the bootloader you tried to install?
Alright, so it was a driver problem. I ended up removing all drivers and sdk stuff, and then reinstalled and reloaded everything, which enabled fastboot to discover my device when using a factory cable. Problem solved. I found you just have to be careful when setting up sdk, and do every single step as listed on https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/setup.html.

I have the exact same problem but found an unusual solution. after 2 months of pain and toil i did something that saved me. When your kindle is frosen on the logo with no animation, you have to restart your computer with your kindle plugged in. I restarted and boom my kindle restarted a few times and booted up. It did not work when i plugged it into usb 3.0 ports, but the usb 2.0 was fine. I just restarted with the kindle plugged in, and it unbricked.
Hope this helps

Hi,
I moved into a new house yesterday and when un packing I found an Amazon Kindle Fire HD that was basically left behind I went to plug it in to my phone charger Micro USB and it began too boot up but then stopped at the Fastboot logo with Kindle Fire under it. Ive never had a Kindle Fire before so not really sure what to do tried connecting it to my Laptop but nothing shows up i.e installs etc. I don't know if it would be bricked or a software fault and tried Power and Volume Up and Down to see if there is a recovery system but they isn't.
I hope one of you guys can help
Thanks
It doesn't show up at all on the device manager with a triangle next to it listed as Tate,jem, otter,or otter 2 does it?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
when i plug my kindle in the pc it does show tate-pvt-08 in device manager and the kindle is stuck in fastboot mode.. any advice?
Right click the device, hit update drivers, download the drivers in my signature, and extract them, point the update device window to where you extracted my drivers and let it install them, if you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first. Once the drivers are installed I would suggest trying a simple
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
that might kick it out of fastboot. Tell me how it goes.

Hello! First of all, i'm kind of a noob as far as kindle development issues concern, but i managed to install custom roms before (in fact, my brick problema began when i tried to upgrade to CM11 from goo.im). I am really desperate right now because i followed all the instructions in several threads but nothing helped me so far.
Here is my situation:
My kindle fire hd 7" is stuck at Fastboot mode after my failed attempt to upgrade from CM10.1 to CM11. My computer recognizes it as Tate-PVT-08 but it's not accepting any fastboot commands, except for "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot". When i run this command, my kindle actually "reboots" but goes into fatboot mode again and again. When in "cmd", it doesn't recognize the devices either, but when run command "getvar" shows Tate-PVT-08. In conclusión, i want to know if there is a problema with the instalation of cmd in my PC, or if you can recommend any tool to restore my Tablet, even if it means going back to stock OS.
Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Are you using a fastboot cord? If so that's why. Use that command and then pull the cord from the computer as soon as it restarts.

Thank you for taking your time to help me out, appreciate it.
I changed the cord because i realized that i'm already in fastboot mode, so don't need fastboot cable. When i run the command, the Kindle boot logo lasts for few more senconds than with fastboot cable, but still goes into fastboot mode again. Also tried pushing all posible buttons (At blue kindle ffire logo) to reach recovery mode but failed. I'm using Kindle Fire First Aide but doesn't seems to work either.

If you see the blue TWRP there may be hope without a doing a factory reset. Press the power button for 30 seconds and power down the KFHD7. Now hit power to turn the Kindle on and as soon as you see the yellow Kindle boot animation hold the volume rocker up and continue to hold it there until until you see the blue TWRP boot animation and continue pressing for three seconds, then release. Do you boot into TWRP? If you see the blue TWRP boot animation you should have it.

If you can get into TWRP that might be to your advantage because you can adb.sideload a ROM onto TWRP flash it and go on with it from there. KFFA has been down off and on. It was once a great tool but it needs updated and the Drop Box account associated with it is down at the momnent.

Mr LinearEquation, thank you so much for your advice.
Following a different thread i managed to boot into TWRP by flashing images of "Freedom Boot" and TWRP itself via fastboot commands. Now in theory i can flash a .zip of any ROM but the thing is that i cannot load zips to the Tablet. even though it's recognized now as KINDLE instead of Tate-PVT-08 in the Device Manager, i'm not able to see the kindle as a Pop-up window where you can drag-and-drop files to the Tablet.
The question is: How do i push a ROM via adb as you mentioned in your previous message? Do you know which file do i need and the proper command to push it?
Kindly Regards.

Thank you for the reply. Well, my first problem is the kindle doesn't stay on fastboot. It shuts down after a second.

Hi I locked mine up also and used a program called
Demo Mode Restore. Basically you shut off your kindle and unplug the charge/data cable run the program and click enter once then says plug you kindle in and when it boots the program catches it before it starts up and all you have to do is follow the directions and when it restarts its like when you first took it out of the box
You`ll have to do a search for Demo Mode Restore
Hope this help. God Bless )

is that mean, i need a Factory Cable to make it work again??
I don't know where you read that but it is wrong, if it stays on the orange logo it means you are in a bootloop. When in fastboot it will come up on the screen and say "fastboot" in a logo form. You have to have a fastboot cable to get it into fastboot mode when it is stuck in a bootloop that has the orange logo only.

that mean, only way to fix this is with a fastboot cable, factoy cable?
is it like 99% luck to fix it?
i guess i will buy a cable and try to fix it. it still in warranty but it rooted... so no go
it should be completely fixable, no luck involved, just a fastboot adapter, my drivers and the kffa utility and it should be able to restore just fine.

Rooted won't matter if it's in a bootloop. They only check for external damage and send it back to the factory. If it don't boot into the OS then tell them that and you should get a refurbished one.
Exit: What I mean is that a bootloop prevents them from seeing why this happened. Could happen from many things. Otherwise use Stunts suggestion.

Ok, so I was tampering with my kindle around January this year and I *thought* I was deleting a rom system, but only found out I deleted the system.img. I know i'm an idiot, but I finally got a fastboot cable which came yesterday. Everytime I turn on the Kindle it shows the Kindle Fire logo and just keeps blinking and going into a boot loop, and just winds up turning off after 5-10 minutes. I've tried plugging in the fastboot cable(with the Kindle of course), and when i type ADB devices and fastboot devices nothing shows up or it says waiting for device. I have the drivers installed and everything, but it just doesn't show up! It's making me frustrated and i've been googling for solutions but none of them have helped. My computer OS is Windows 8.1, and i've been using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...-kfhd-img-restore-tool-updated-links-t2948036 to help me.
When you plug in the cable does the same screen show fastboot? You do have the Kindle with the front camera and hdmi out, correct?
