Hi guys,
first - sorry for my bad english - but I'll give my best
Here's my problem:
I tried to install a custom Image, with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909. After I followed the instructions my Kindle Fire HD startet all the time the TWRP. I forgot to pload my CM on the the Sd Card -so I could'nt install the image. It was not possible to boot the system. Mount USB does not worked as well. After that I tried to boot via "Reboot" Recovery and now my new kindle fire hd 7" is black all the time and when I plug in my cable - windows always plays sound for "plugged in" USB device and a second after that "plugged off" and so on... No ADB connect is possible
Code:

I'll hope that my device isn't bricked... Thanks for help!

I doubt it's bricked. It doesn't sound like you did anything to brick it.
Are you sure it's just not locked up?
Try holding down the power button for an extended amount of time then when powering on attempt to enter recovery?

No - nothing happens. I tried to hold down power button a couple of times for a about 20-30 seconds. The screen stays black. I flashed the roms with fireflash with the help of the guide...
Any other ideas?

It's a TWRP bootloop. Nothing major, you just need to get a ROM onto your internal SD. Search the forums on how to push a ROM using ADB using fastboot. Either that or restore your KFHD using kindle Fire FirstAide and redo the process.

Ok, thx - I understand. So my problem is now to get access to the device via ADB. I'm totally n00b with flashing Kindle or other tablets. I downloaded the first aid kit, but I didn't find any explaination how it works, or what shall I do.
Actually the device is all the time black (no logo - nothing) and I cannot access it via USB because its looping and USB device is on/off/on/off all the time...
I'll hope you can explain it to me to rescue my device.
Thanks a lot...

You need a factory fastboot cord. Your USB is useless until you restore. Cord is about 10 USD. Try eBay or their is a guy on here that sells them too. Hold the power button down for 30 seconds until it powers down and leave until fastboot cord arrives. Nothing you can do ast this point. This should be recoverable though.
Here is the link with details on KFFA usage http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 You will have to set up ADB drivers as well. There's a great video about it that has it's link posted a few places on here. I can post it a little later if you can't find it.

Thank u all - now waiting for my cable
So - here we go. Factory cable arrived - Frist Aide installed (C:\KFFirstAide) [Kindle Fire First Aide Revision 4.1.66-Beta for Windows 64-bit Version] running on Windows 8 64bit - but now, don't now what to do. I don't get a connection via ADB?! Is there a trick or something else?!
thx
You don't use adb commands with fastboot, you use fastboot commands. I think I heard kffa will pop a window open with adb that says waiting for device when you try to restore, just close that and let the main window continue. On another note, make sure the drivers for the device are installed for fastboot in the device manager, if they aren't it would be noted by a yellow triangle on the device, just checking because windows 8 is a pain with the driver signature enforcement on, so if it doesn't have the drivers installed, and you have a error about the signature while trying to install them, you would have to turn then driver signature enforcement off to fix the problem.

You want to make sure your ADB drivers and KFFA have a proper path set. Once the tablet is in fast boot click on the KFFA run bat. A window will pop up. Select 'Y' for yes, then 3 to return to 7.2.3, now press any key to continue, Now click 'Y' to confirm 7.2.3 restore, click 'Y' to confirm your cord, now click NO to have KFFA boot you into fastboot as you are already in fastboot. Now sit back and wait an hour or so while KFFA restores your Kindle Fire HD.

When using your fastboot cord you are suppose to select N for no when asked to reboot into fastboot mode. I think you selected Y for yes. At least this is what I think is going on because I can get it to download the files from the DropBox account and get to "waiting for device" with nothing hooked up to my computer. Recheck your process and let me know.

I'm assuming you are using Windows 7. Open up command and type fastboot and enter, do you get a line of data? now type ADB. Do you get a lot of data?
This may sound redundent but watch this video and insure you have your ADB drivers in the correct path and up to date. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw This is the main reason you are getting the 'waiting for device' Remove the old ones and redownload to insure no corruption from initial download.
Also, this is very iomportant. Make sure you are physically logged into the admin profile of your computer. Running elevated on a different user profile will not work.
me too!
I know it has been 5 years since you posted this but in 2018 I was trying to do the same thing! Did anything you do work? including the fast boot cable?

Any solution works?
Hello everyone, a coworker of mine has a bricked Kindle HD 7 with a camera and model number X43Z60 that was stuck on the boot logo. I've been messing with it for a while getting it unbricked.
Currently, I have it in fastboot mode with a cable, and Windows 7 device manager lists the Kindle as Kindle Fire/Android Composite ADB Interface. I've been using the information from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254, and have downloaded the KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0- 7.2.3 (separate option for restoring factory recovery) files. I can run -i 0x1949 getvar product and get Tate-PVT-08 as a response.
My issue is, after I run -i 0x1949 flash system system.img and the sending 'system' returns OKAY, the command prompt just sits there for an hour with "writing 'system'..."
What is the issue? Am I using the wrong version of system.img for this Kindle? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" (one of the two that our family owns) that is stuck in a loop where the logo screen keeps appearing at bootup. It starts as a static Kindle Fire image and then changes to an animated Kindle Fire image and then the process starts over again (and again etc...). For reference - the Kindle is completely stock and has a front facing camera, HDMI port and black stripe across the back. The second Kindle (same model, just a few months older) is working and has version 7.4.9 software on it so it is probable that the looping Kindle had the same stock version too. Our Kindles are completely stock and rooting has never been attempted. I have spent a lot of time trying to research what might have happened and how to fix the looping Kindle. Here is a description of what I have tried:
When booting up and in the looping condition the device does not show up in the Windows device manager at all. I have been able to build a fastboot cable and it does put the Kindle into fastboot mode (the logo changes to the word fastboot). At this point the device is recognized as a USB device. I have installed the Kindle drivers and the device now shows up as "Kindle Fire" -> "Android ADB Interface". I downloaded the SRT v1.3.5 and in a cmd shell run as administrator tried the options to restore the boot, recovery and system to the bundled v7.3.0 as well as clearing the cache and userdata, but the loop still occurred.
The command line "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" returned a string containing "Tate-PVT-08", however the "fastboot -i 0x1949 devices" command did not return anything. I found that the size of the fastboot.exe bundled in the version of SRT had a smaller size than the one in the KFFA project I found online. I tried the exe from the KFFA project and was then able to get a response with a device ID, tried the all the reflashing steps again, but still had the looping. I also downloaded the system images (v7.2.3) used with the KFFA and flashed them, but same result. I have installed the ADB tools and the fastboot.exe it supplies has an even larger size so I tried it for the whole flash process, as well as now running all the fastboot commands manually from the command line (as administrator) instead of from bat files, but still have the loop.
Is there a way to get out of this boot loop and get the Kindle usable again?
Any help would really be appreciated.
I'm trying to help a lady that works at my daughter's daycare with her Kindle Fire HD 7. The Kindle is stuck on the logo screen. I've read numerous threads here to understand what I need to do to restore the kindle to factory settings. I'm having an issue however connecting to the Kindle from my PC. I'm trying to attach the Kindle to a old Dell D610 latitude laptop that is running Windows XP SP 2. I've installed Andriod Studio and via the Andriod SDK Tools (SDK Manager application) I've installed ADB and FASTBOOT.
I started with the regular cable that comes with the Kindle. I powered the Kindle off, by pressing the power button for about 10 sec and then plugged it into my computer. The computer did not recognize the device, however, the screen does turn on and show the kindle fire logo in white and orange when it is plugged in.
After reading through some threads, I purchased a fastboot cable. I then attached the kindle with the fastboot cable, by turning off the kindle and plugging it into the usb port. This time the kindle turned on, and then went into fastboot mode on the kindle screen. In device manager, the kindle shows up under "other devices" and it comes up as "Tate-PVT-08". When I go to my cmd prompt and try to type in "adb devices" I don't get any devices present, just a blank line. When I go type in "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", I also do not get any devices and it says <waiting for device>.
here's the things i've tired:
1.) In the device manager I've tried to uninstall and reconnect the device. Same thing happens every time, I just get the device to reappear as Tate-PVT-08 and I'm not able to access it via fastboot or adb.
2.) I've tried to download the google usb drivers. When i try to navigate to them from the device manager for the Tate-PVT-08 device, it tells me their are no drivers for this item.
3.) I've tried to install the kindle drivers via the SDK Manager, however, windows still does not recognize the device or give me an option to select Kindle as the type of device I am connecting in the driver selection screen in the device manager.
So my question is, how can I jut get my kindle recognized by my PC so that I can go through a process to re-image it? Are there specific drivers i can install for the windows xp os for kindle?
Hello, I have an Kindle Fire HD 7 inch, which is in a boot-loop due to my failed experimentation with ROMs. I purchased a fastboot cable from amazon, and I can successfully boot in to fastboot mode. The problem lies when I try to access the device via fastboot.
When I first plugged the device in, running 'fastboot devices' returns no devices, so I installed the Google USB driver via the SDK Manager. Updating the driver, and rebooting the Kindle to fastboot mode was again unsuccessful. I tried this with 'Android ADB Interface' and 'Android Composite ADB Interface' So, after digging around on the Amazon website, I installed the Amazon Kindle Fire ADB Drivers, and tested both the included drivers, to no avail. Typing 'fastboot devices' returns an empty linespace, then the command exits.
I need to restore my Kindle to factory settings, as it will soon be my primary tablet device. Any help?
Thanks.
