I have a Kindle Fire. Don't know anything beyond that other than a 7" screen (diagonally).
A few months ago I attempted to root this thing and jacked it all up. All it does now is go to a stagnant screen that has the Kindle Fire logo. If I hold the power button long enough (30 sec or so) I can get it to turn off. Also, the computer does not recognize the Kindle nor will it load the drivers for it.
I purchased a fast boot cable but no luck- still goes to the same screen. Is this thing done or can it be resurrected?
As you might have already figured out, I'm no electronic guru.
Can anyone help or shall I use it as a coaster.
If the fastboot cable is doing you no good, then you're out of luck. I would recommend trying to return it to Amazon.

Hello,
I've had my Kindle Fire HD 7" rooted for awhile now and I decided to add in a second bootloader. It wasn't flashing properly; so with a bit of lurking on the forums I saw a application specifically for my device. It was called FireFlash. This application got me stuck in fastboot mode and suddenly died. I heard about factory cables and I purchased one. - I now have a $200 dollar paperweight sitting on my desk. I've tried researching and everything I do with ADB I get:

Thanks again if one of you people can get me on the right road to success. I believe I knew what caused this and that was upgrading TWRP. I upgraded TWRP because i was unable to install a ROM which made me in a fastboot loop. Now I'm just a paperweight.
When you say the device doesn't turn on, do you mean it won't boot or do you mean it won't power on at all?

I have no power whatsoever. Holding down the power button for thirty seconds didn't work, nor did charging it.
Hi everyone!
This is my first XDA post. I need help with my Kindle fire HD 7'
I Soft bricked it while trying to root it. What is happening is that i can turn it on, but only the Kindle Fire logo comes up,
the after about 5 second, the logo goes away for a split second and then comes back but this time with the "Fire" part of the logo in cyan.
After this point it just stays in this position basically forever until you hold the power button. I have the factory wire for a fastboot, but the issue is that my PC wont recognize my kindle fire whatsoever. I know I have the correct drivers installed, but no matter what i do my PC wont recognize my
Kindle.
Please Help!!
Tl;dr 1) My Kindle Fire HD 7' is semi bricked
2) I can put it in boot camp mode due to the factory wire
3) No matter what I tried My PC wont recognize the device

Ummm... if you were trying to root the device,how in the world did you install the 2nd bootloader? And as for the driver issues,try using Ubuntu instead of Windows. It WILL recognize the device. @stunts513 please see if you can help this fellow out.
Ah thanks for the mention, I'm less active now that I got a job but since I'm off on weekends I try to keep up with posts at that time. Anyways if it turns blue then try holding volume down when you initially see the orange logo and just keep holding it even after it turns blue and see if it will go into twrp.

Hello all,
Total beginner here, my KFHD 7 inch just stopped working suddenly, I called Amazon who said I was out of warranty (13 months old) and 'kindly' offered to sell me another one lol. have never made any modifications to it so don't why it happens..turns on and just stays at the static kindle fire logo. I downloaded:
KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0 (seperate option for restoring factory recovery)
I used the factory cable and it goes into fastboot, and then ran the SR tool, I chose option 1 to restore to standard, process seems to go fine... upon rebooting with the normal cable I get a black screen, windows detects a device and then starts looking for a driver for OMAP 440 which it doesn't find, then I can't turn the kindle on.
If I then hold the power button down then press it, it turns on again and is back to the stuck logo like nothing happened...
Tried this process a few times now..
Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot.
Does your Kindle have the front camera and hdmi out?
If by front camera you mean on the screen side, yes the camera is front facing, Don't know about HDMI out never tried to output anything..But .I know it's the 1st generation Kindle Fire HD, so I guess it does?
I would go back into fastboot and flash system, boot, and recovery.
I see some similar threads in this forum but nothing that was suggested helps, so I thought I'd create a new question:
I got a kindle fire X43Z60 that is stuck at boot. I was told it had a problem with the charging port that needed to be replaced. I'm assuming after a while a lot of jiggling was needed to charge it and even that stopped working after a while.
I purchased a main board off of ebay, the board was described as from a broken kindle and but was tested and was in working condition. I replaced the old board with the new one but the symptoms are exactly the same. Then I bought a replacement battery off ebay, but new battery did not help either.
I don't have the original charger for the kindle but have multiple micro USB chargers and I assume one of them would work (from Galaxy S4, original nook, others).
The way it looks (with new and old, battery and main board), is that when I press the power button initial "kindle fire" shows up and then disappears. When I press and hold the power button, the "kindle fire" logo disappears, I let the button go, then the logo appears again, disappears for a second and it appears again but now there's this graphical effect rolling over the logo as if it was booting up. At some point after it just powers off abruptly. Occasionally I'm able to boot it up all the way using that method and it would stay on for a minute until a message would appear "are you sure you want to power down" and it would power down without me having a chance to respond. It kind of looks like the battery is drained. When I do boot it up all the way the battery indicator shows it as not nearly drained.
When I hook the kindle up to a PC using USB cable, the initial kindle fire logo just appears and disappears in a loop. I dont see the kindle being visible to the PC.
What else can i try to fix it?
Is there nobody that knows solution to this, or at least give me a hint where to look?

You could simply google it
I think you have to call Amazon's Customer Service.
I was given an old Kindle Fire HD 7" 3rd Generation KFSOWI - Soho completely stock and was playing with it a bit and decided to try the KingRoot app (NOT KingORoot). It was going along and got to 35% then said it failed and asked if I wanted to try again. I clicked try again. Thats when everything went downhill. It rebooted on its own then displayed the all white Kindle Fire logo then moved to the brighter white and orange logo with the glimmer moving across the screen. There it stays now. It wont go any further.
I have tried to use Vol - and PWR with it turned off to try to get to Recovery or Vol + and PWR for Fastboot but after the all white logo it just shuts off. Its as if the recovery utility is no longer there.
I do have a Fastboot/Factory cable I made a while ago and when I plug that in it does get to Fastboot mode. However in ADB on my desktop it wont see it there. If I plug in a standard USB cable to the Kindle and let it go to the white n orange logo then ADB will see it and brings up the Serial number but instead of saying "device" it says "unauthorized".
I am seriously at a loss right now as I have been googling to to fix this since it happened and all the ready made utilities are for other generation devices.
I have tried the usual holding the power button for 60 seconds to turn it off and then try turning it back on but nothing works.
Im just not sure what can be done with I cant get to recovery and ADB either wont see it or says its unauthorized.
PLEASE HELP!

Classic FireOS boot hang. Tough to fix on older (pre 5th gen) devices that do not offer a way to reload FireOS from stock recovery.
Unfortunately, this is not the correct forum for your device (this thread is for 5th & 7th gen Fire 7). You'll want to repost your question here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hd
