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!

Hi,
i have a kindle fire 8.9 and i never did any rooting before. since i heard, that hashcode released a method of 2nd bootloading and cm10.1, i wonder how to install it. unfortunately i dont even unterstand his first prestep of
Q: How do I know if my fastboot works?
A: With the Kindle powered down, type the following command into a cmd/terminal window on your PC (should return with: < waiting for device> ):
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Then connect USB to the Kindle and reboot. It *SHOULD* show a Fastboot screen and your terminal window should show something like:
product: Jem-PVT-Prod-04
Type this to reboot out of fastboot mode:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

because opening cmd in windows 7 and typing "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" doesnt work and doesnt make any sense to me. does anybody know, where i can get some first time user instruction or a movie which describes it!

How much do you know about using the command line, in general?
[EDIT:] Also, for future reference, "doesn't work" does not help anyone to pinpoint your problem. Try to include error messages if you can.

i workes 8 years ago the last time with windows xp command lines to copy stuff in a local network.
the generell problem i have is to find out how to install the second bootloader on my kindle fire 8.9
the instruction starts with checking if you have fastboot. but simply coping the lines "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" into windows 7 cmd.exe only gives me the error of
fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command

The instructions assume you already have adb and fastboot installed and configured to run on your computer. Tyipcally, you just need to have your drivers installed and configured properly and have the adb.exe and fastboot.exe readily accessible. Unless both of those programs' locations are added to your PATH environment variable, you must run the commands from the directory the program (fastboot.exe) is located or include the path to the program in the command itself.
I have Kindle Fire HD7 2012.When my kindle device was in good condition (soft 7.2.2), I did a Backup.I have boot0block.img, stock-boot.img, stock-recovery.img and stock-system.img. I installed the TWRP, CM10. I used CM10 half years.Then I wanted to return on stock system 7.2.2. I cleared the memory of my kindle device or formatting it(I do not remember now).
I can not start (load) the program TWRP now. After including of my kindle device(press the power button) is showing the Kindle Fire logo and then is showing the coloured inscription of "Provisioning Fail". My computer has the operating system WINDOWS XP.
At connecting of USB cable (computer-my kindle device) in Device Manager, nothing appears.I reinstalled the driver many times.
When I connect a factory cable (computer-my kindle device), "Kindle Fire Android ADB Interface" appears in the Device Manager and my kindle device is showing "Fastboot". I write in a Windows CMD:
adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
It does not show the serial number and code. When I write a command adb push stack /data/local/tmp or another command adb the window is showing "error: device not found".Then I wrote:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.7.0.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
And my kindle device is a reboots. I disconnect the factorry cable. And my kindle device constantly reboots.
I installed the program KF First Aide. At connecting of factory cable (computer-my kindle device) my kindle device is showing "Fastboot" mode.
I selected a menu №9 "Display the fastboot status" KF First Aide in program. The program window displays:

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.
Greetings,
Apologies if this has been asked somewhere else before, but I haven't found it anywhere after hours of searching. I've been trying to get ADB to work on my Kindle Fire HD 7 with no success. I've downloaded many drivers and the Android SDK and Android Studio as well. After installing all different drivers, when I connect the tablet to the laptop and test fastboot connection, I get the following:
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
product: Tate-PVT-08
finished. total time: 0.002s
I believe this is expected when I run this command, which I guess means the fastboot cable is working and perhaps the driver too? (not sure). However, when I run the following ADB commands this is what happens:
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
(this comes empty, no result)
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
error: device not found
error: device not found
I've tried this in two different laptops and I get the same result on both. Both laptops are running Windows 7 and my tablet is currently running version 7.5.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And thanks in advance.

LOL, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can only LOL. I thought the ADB commands had to be run in Fastboot mode. No wonder. IT WORKS!!! Thanks again!!!
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.
