okay so i tried to root and flash my kindle 7.4.9, i got root but then bricked it and got the red screen, i then used fastboot to put a bootloader on, the wrong one for my device, and has now left me with a kindle that is dead and wont load fastboot or anything please help
I'm not 100%, but I think you killed it. You could buy a parts kindle off eBay & swap out the motherboard.
What do you mean exactly? Does it turn on at all?

Salutations developers and and moderators,
I appear to have some issues while trying to unbrick my Kindle Fire 7" :crying:. Originally, I flashed the wrong TWRP recovery and it made a red screen. I then bought a fastboot cable and last night, I accidently erased the bootloader. Screen will not power on and fastboot mode is not coming on. Can anyone please help me without spending any extra money and opening up the device? Thanks in advanced

Originally, a repairer can open up the device and perform a bootloader repair using the JTAG as a way to feed currents into the device to power it up temporarily for the repair. However, I've never heard anything about Amazon's devices having JTAG compatibility.
You have a paperweight on your hands. The fastboot cable was the very last resort.
Well, ig I'll search around for something to fix this black screen. Thanks anyways kin sir/madam

black screen here too, I accidentally installed the bootloader for KFHD8 on my KFHD7, and now it won't start, and lsusb doesn't detect it
My brother gave me a kindle fire hd 7" that stopped working one day while their 5 year old son was using it. It is stuck on the kindle fire logo screen. It has never been rooted.
I have tried a hard reset with no change. I have also made a factory cable and got it to display fastboot logo.
I have installed the ADB driver and I can query the device and get it to return "tate-xxx-xxx".
When I attempt to use any of the recovery tools the computer hangs at the "daemon started successfully" screen which I believe is due to the fact that ADB is not enabled on the device.
Is there anyway to enable ADB on the device without the ability to navigate the UI? I feel like I'm caught in a catch 22 here.
Please Help!

There are a lot more people on here with better knowledge than I have but I think it may be worth contracting Amazon to see if they will repair or replace it for you. Good luck.

I screwed up installing CM10.1 forgot to put rom onto device and ended up in boot loop.
I got a fastboot cable but the kindle shows as Tate PVT and the update driver box is greyed out. Cant get fastboot or adb to recognise the device.
Is there anyway to recover from this
Thanks

You have TWRP installed, right? Does your Kindle Fire logo turn blue while booting?

If you have twrp installed and the blue kindle boot screen just hit volume down and use the side load feature. But if your fastboot is giving u a problem where u can't hit update driver I would assume it would be because windows is already searching for one still? If so tell windows to skip obtaining from windows update and it finish sooner so u can try to update it manually.

Hi Baconrind. Screwing one’s device is a good opportunity to learn new things. At least this is what happened to me and I’m glad I did. A couple of months ago I bought a new KFHD7. I spend "wonderful :laugh:" weeks as the happy owner of a KFHD7 until I started to discover the shortcomings of same, so I started reading xda-developers’ stuff to try to customise the device. First I rooted it to be able to install Google Play Store. The idea was to stay as close to stock as possible. Unfortunately I lost root with the first Amazon OTA update, then I decided to install a second bootloader, TWRP, etc. To do that I followed Hashcode’s method Kindle Fire 2nd-bootloader + TWRP for the Kindle Fire HD 7 but at some point I bricked :crying: my device. I was stuck at the Kindle Fire logo. I spent hours browsing through xda-developers and discovered that the first thing to do was to get a fastboot cable. I did not have the patience to wait for it to come from China or wherever they make them, so I found a couple of posts on the xda forum here and here. I made my own even my soldering capabilities are quite limited. I shut down the KFHD7 and plugged the “fastboot” cable to the PC and then to the Kindle, a couple of seconds later I could see the fastboot logo. Once I saw the fastboot logo I unplugged it and used the regular data transfer cable instead. Before I started the unbricking process proper I downloaded and installed this tool: KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5.-7.3. I followed the onscreen indications and could reset my KFHD7 back to its original state. Good luck.
Hi,
my daughter kindle does not work anymore, yesterday after hard shutdown...
it like 2 week, this kindle act odd. but now, nothing is working. all i did last December was rooting, it work fine.
right now, all it does is stuck in the kindle fire logo, it moving and the lit is on...
I try volume up and turn on, nope.
I try to connect to pc, ADB not recognized.
I do not have an factory cable, do i need a factory to resolve the problem?
I dont think i have a ROM problem. but i dont touch it...
if the problem come from ROM, how/where can I choose the good one
If there is no solution, do Amazon accept rooting tablet
I have Kindle Fire HD, X43Z60

I try a fastboot cable/adapter to see if you can restore the os. I recommend the blackhat adapters mentioned in hashcode's 2nd bootloader + twrp tutorial in the development section.

I read in some topic that if the kindle fire logo stay lid indefinitely i'm in fastboot... But i try "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", it show only waiting device, i try to turn off and on, nothing happen.
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.

oh, ok.
It show only " kindle fire " and than animation "kindle fire"
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.

I am assuming you have a KFHD 2nd Generation (firmware 7.x.x). if thats the case, then follow these...
You will need a fastboot cable (aka factory micro usb cable) unless you have a way to put your kindle in fastboot mode. Get one from fleabay
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254&highlight=device+not+found and download the KFHD_SRTv1.3.5.zip utility
Use option 3 first to push recovery img to your kindle followed by option 1 or 2
After it completes, you will have rooted ver 7.4.3 on the Kindle
The thread also has links for rooted 7.4.9. You can dl those images and replace them in the utility folder (images) to get a rooted v7.4.9
The KFHD 2 is on a different version than 7.x.x.
