Can the Kindle Fire HD be unbricked using Rekindle-01, if so where do i short out the USB on the motherboard as the pics online do not help as they are for the Kindle Fire motherboard
what's the issue??? Does anything happen when you press the power button? Plus you might need a factory cable to get it working again.

I rooted the Kindle Fire HD with KFU 0.9.6, all went okay until it tried rebooting into recovery as part of the process and it hasn't turned on since ie nothing comes on the screen.
I have a Factory Cable but that isn't putting Kindle into Fastboot, ADB isn't seeing the device so am now trying via Rekindle via Ubuntu/Linux, this requires the USB to be shorted out to jump start the port but i don't know which connection on the motherboard to short out as the only pic online is for the KF not KFHD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405052
I believe it should only be soft bricked but can get no response from it so any help would be great.
The Kindle Fire Unbricker is useless, it even tells me my Kindle is now unbricked even when it is not plugged in. My ADB drivers are fine and i even had the SDK installed with all various drivers it brings to the party.
Sorry if i sound such a noob but i have done various PSP's, Wii's, iTouch, fixed Laptops etc but this has me totally screwed

First of all the tools/utilities you are using are for first gen KF, so that is why it bricked your device and why the other does not work. You need to flash a backup through fastboot. As for getting into fastboot , which device do you have? 7 or 8.9? On 7" power off the device, plug into pc with factory cable. If you have 8.9 you have to power off, use a fastboot cmd then power on while pc is waiting for device. Look in the development section, it has all the info you need to unbrick. Do not try the tools you mentioned, there is no need to open the device up to do any of this.

Have you had any success?
A similar thing happened to me.
I have a factory cable that I got from [2012androidfans on ebay]. It doesn't seem to do anything. I get no response from the Kindle Fire HD. Windows detects nothing.
(I installed a bootloader meant for a first gen kindle. I was blindly following a guide to update android and wasn't thinking what I was doing. Restarted the Kindle HD 7". Nothing.)

Well, Add me to the list. This is the first device I have actually ever bricked. I already had the KFU utility installed and accidentally ran the wrong batch file Im thinking it overwrote the factory boot/recovery partitions. I have a factory cable and its not showing anything under device manager upon plugging it in. Ive held the power down for 30 seconds, then plugged it in, but nothing shows. The sucky part is that its not mine, its a coworkers...... frustrating. Is there a way to fix it at this point?
Edit,
Its an HD 8.9 Inch

FatedBoot,
The utility Rekindle is design for the original Kindle only. If you are looking to restore you Kindle HD 7, Kindle HD 8.9 or the Kindle 2 you may use our utility that takes about 3 to 5 minutes to restore the Kindle. Here is a link to Kindle Fire First Aide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
If you would like information about making your own Factory USB Cable, the information can be found here on Post Number 164: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37187390&postcount=164
This pictures to solder the board are for the original Kindle not the new Kindles. Finally, you do NOT want to solder the board on these models since every time you plug in to change the device, it will boot into Fastboot.
We have full site and phone support, so if you find yourself stuck, just post a question or if you have a serious problem, give us a call.

pyraxiate,
Sounds like you are well versed in this topic. You are correct, the boot and recovery partitions need to be recovered.
You have several choices to recover the device, you may use onemeila tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126
OR
Our tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
They both accomplish the same task in the end. There are known Bootloader issues with the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" so if you find yourself in an endless boot-loop, read our posts on how to recover the loop. Our tool automated the Boot-loop recovery. You will receive solid support on either tool.
I bricked the kindle fire hd 7in while trying to flash the newest android to it (used wrong bootloader). Anyway, when I start the kindle, it shows the first white/orange kindle fire logo, then it crashes to a black screen. When I plug in the factory cable, it shows the kindle fire logo and then goes to a logo that actually says "fastboot" with "kindle fire" under that, but then nothing happens. The device is not recognized by adb, but it has before, because i rooted it earlier. I can't get any unbricking utilities to work because the computer won't recognize it. How do I get my kindle to be recognized so that I can at least restore it?

Well you apparently didn't succeed in flashing the bootloader. It seems like you just installed an unsigned kernel so you are in better shape than most. Try Onemelia's system restore tool to see if that works. If not, you may have to restore the stock recovery as well.

No joy at all, just bought a new Factory Cable and still no response what so ever. I am as far as i can go now with no real experience on KF's. I even tried KF First Aide in conjunction with a Factory Cable and still nothing so where to go from here?
What is the condition of your battery? Charging port?

I literally just solved this problem yesterday, you need to first plug your your factory cable into the pc using a working Kindle. That way the necessary driver, not the amazon adb driver, can be installed. Then plug it into your broken Kindle, it should now boot into fastboot.

I have the same problem. Were you able to fix it? I am thinking on doing the USB short trick I am not sure what pin to short out. Let me know if you found a solution.

I have a similar problem. I opened the kindle and made a connection from the usb-boot pin to ground.
No it shows up as
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0451:d010 Texas Instruments, Inc.
for a few seconds when I plug in the factory cable.
But how to go on from that point?

If you are dealing with a kf2 or higher then don't bother doing this as it won't work. We would need a aboot signed by amazon and we dont have it, without that we can't repair ours kindles this way, this only works on kf1. Though there is a method that you can recover a hard bricked kindle from involving soldering a usb sdcard reader to the emmc of a kindle. Btw plz start a thread next time, this was a big bump.
