Hey guys, been using the forums for quite some time now, but this is my first time posting so i just registered an account.
I have looked over the forum but can't seem to find an answer to my issue.
I basically rooted my kindle fire HD but when I came to install a new ROM i ran into some issues.. I followed ALL the instructions on what to do but i think i did something wrong.
When it came to installing the new ROM i was told to wipe everything.. So from TWRP I went to wipe > and then i wiped everything.. But i MEAN everything, so there is nothing at all left on the device AT ALL.. Only TWRP and thats it, no data files or anything. SO everytime i start up it boots into TWRP.
I tried flashing the new ROM using TWRP but everytime i do it doesn't do anything, it says error finding /misc but I read that thats a normal error message.
I've tried flashing a few different ROM's and nothing has worked... I think i may have messed up when it came to putting FireFireFire onto the device using Kindle Fire Utility, am i having this problem because I have tried to install a custom ROM without having FireFireFire...? Or is my device bricked?
Sorry if this is a noob question but I'm not really used to flashing ROM's I've rooted many devices but ive never flashed a ROM before, any help would be greatfully appreciated!
What version of the Kindle Fire HD do you have?

Im not actually 100%sure to be honest.. i know its old i think its 1st gen
I need a reply please, I might have possibly flashed the wrong ROM for my device but I highly doubt it, to double check how can i check what model and verrsion m device is just by using TWRP?
Does your kindle fire HD have a camera,HDMI port,power button and volume rocker on one edge of the device? Lynker

Good day!
Kindle Fire HD 7 7.2.2 was succesfully rooted through Qemu
After that start the Root Explorer and frozen some programs from Amazon
After Root explorer closed - system wrote that the application is not responding and offered either wait or force close.
Waited about 5 minutes and then forcibly closed.
The tablet is rebooted and it now shows a picture Kindle Fire, which is quickly poured color.
Tell me what to do? Can I fix something back?
Thanks in advance!
I believe that at this point, all you can do is put the tablet in Odin (fastboot) mode and flash a image containing the partitions. You'll have to Google to see if anyone has uploaded genetic partitions for the HD. The problem is that no one has come up with a working boot recovery that most other Android devices have that allow you to run a restore. I've seen several postings of developers working on this.

I understand that I need a cable factory, similar to Kindle Fire. The manual, which indicates how to make such a cable was told to solder one pin and 4-pin. After that, download the program from the subject http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 and take a backup to 7.2.2, as of 7.2.1 is not suitable.
I understand you correctly? And if so, where to take a backup of 7.2.2?
Thanks in advance!

Wat happen to kindle did work

I'm the living testimonial and last survivor for this bricking journey. I had my device rooted on the second day that I got my KFHD, then bricked it and kept in the kindle fire bootloop for days.
I was a bit sceptical to buy a factory cable initially as I would have to wait for weeks over this part on earth. But after reading all the sources available online and I know this factory cable is unavoidable, I ordered, waited and received my factory cable and guess what, this is just like the immediate antidote given to the sleeping beauty, after I plugged in the factory cable and carefully followed the instructions by the seniors here, I unbricked my KFHD in 10 minutes.
My two-cents advice is, if you are adventurous type and plan to go wild with your KFHD, get your factory cable before anything else, then, you can experiment all the wonderful ideas/ modding here.
Good luck and have fun!

Hi all,
I got really interested in rooting and such my Kindle Fire. However, when I used the tool on here for installing Google Play and its components, my dog accidentally pulled on the cable, disconnecting the Kindle mid-process of the tool.
Tool was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329
No however upon boot up, my kindle shows NO ads now. Then when I unlock it, it's extremely sluggish, shows no icons in the carousel, but still recognizes all my personal data and can still be accessed via computer.
I've tried loads of different things to fix it, but to no avail. I've gone into Fastboot mode (Though it just remains stuck at the logo) and when I try these two tools, nothing seems to help fix the problem.
Tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428428
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
Any suggestions guys? Any help will be great. I'd just like to get it back to the way it was.
Ugh I think I vaguely remember what causes this but not well enough to fix it, so what did you do so far, did you reflash the system partition? Because I think this might be in the /data folder in a build.prop but I am unsure, I know the main built.prop you usually see is in the /system folder. This I think has something to do with a qemu property but like I said I hope I am pointing you in decent direction. I will see if I can pull up a similar post and give you a link to a fix.

Thanks for the advice, but sadly I'm unfamiliar with loads of the inner workings, since I was using the automatic coders to get the roms in and etc.
All I really did was start the Tool, hit the number on CMD for applying the Google Play stuff (NOTE: I manually rooted the kindle before hand) then the dog thing happened. Now it's as I've said. I don't own the Fastboot cable either, but I DO get to go to Fastboot Mode (Logo Only) through the tool.
Be careful, I don't know if that tool is from this section of the forum, and some tools from the kf1 section can hard brick your kindle, still looking for the thread BTW.
Edit: I can't seem to find the thread... I don't like recomending doing this since it will wipe all your apps and their data, but do a factory reset from the kindles settings if you can get to it, I think it will fix the problem, not positive.

I've been looking into it, I may have used stuff for Gen 1 Kindle's, so yeah, that could have been the problem.
Gonna do the factory reset, only thing I haven't tried. Transferring photos. Lady friend may stab me for losing those.
Thanks again for the advice. I'll get back to you with any change.
Ah thanks to soupemagnet he reminded me of what I am thinking of, you need to delete /data/local.prop
Hope you get this before you lose any data.

Thanks for all the tips, go it to work. Sadly I already did the factory reset, and now it's all back to normal.
Any guides out there to get the Kindle to A Full on tablet? I'd be trusting only the ones you send now. Don't want to use a guide for KF1s.
If you mean flashing a ROM of an actual android os, here's the guide for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
Just make sure that in fire flash you check the box with the red warning text or your kindle will have a red screen of death that only a fastboot cable will fix, also remember to put a copy of the ROM you want to flash and gapps for that ROM on the kindles sdcard before flashing or you might get stuck in a recovery loop depending on your kindle os version. That tutorial also has some ROMs on it you can use, there might be others in the development section its from you can use as well depending on whenever the last time seokhun updated that tut. That tutorial may be lengthy, but make sure you read all of it, that way you make sure you follow exactly what it says to do and reduce your chances of bricking. Its always better to be safe when messing with a locked devices boot loader than sorry.

BACKGROUND: So i rooted my kindle using this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUW6KARo8Y4 and it worked fine... up until i tried to put the new os. This was a very long time ago and you can follow my progress in my old forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536008&page=4 (which did not fix it.) I decided i need a new start so i made this new forum.
Okay so heres the problem: When i boot up my kindle, it shows the regular kindlefire logo (not fire fire fire) and then a red screen slides by and it boots into fastboot.

Its a really simple fix. Just making sure, this is codename tate? Turn off the kindle. Download the restore image tool for the kindle on the development page where you get ROMs. After that's downloaded plug in the fast boot cable to the PC and your kindle. Turn the device on, run the bat file from the image tool, and then you want to do 4, then the one that restores to the original bootloader, don't know what number. Then hit 1. After that you have a brand new kindle. And reboot with a regular cable.

I told you last time you flashed the wrong bootloader. The video is for an 8.9. You seem to not be able to make up your mind which mod you tried first but you have issue that are not repairable.

Um, you sure he hard bricked it? He said it's going to a red screen then fastboot, if that was the case and the pc can detect it he should be able to reflash the bootloader. Then again i didnt really read the thread he posted, just kinda glanced through it.

ok after reading that i'm a bit confused becasue it seems suggestions were being thrown all over the place. I see it says he thought he flashed firefirefire, but as far as i know, flashing that would have resulted in the device not even wanting to power on since its not designed for our device and wouldnt turn on.
I'm willing to play ball and see where this goes just to see whats going on. If you can get fastboot to recognize the device try running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and tell me what it hands off, i want to know once and for all that this is a 7" hd model and that will tell me.

i was able to remove the bootloader
Uh oh... I tried to use KFFirrstAid again and completely restore to 7.2.3 and i believe i have officially hard bricked my kindle. It does not turn on and the computer cannot detect it. Thanks for your help anyway
how did kffa manage to hard brick it???? Well if it is indeed hard bricked i would see about putting it to a good cause and see if @kurohyou wants it. He mapped out emmc pins for the 8.9" and kf2 so we can reflash teh bootloader via soldering a sdcard reader to the kindles motherboard, but he still needs a hard bricked kfhd 7 to map th epins out for this model. Downside is it will probably make the kindle's motherboard completely unusable because he has to unsolder the emmc chip to figure out the pin locations. He might be able to solder the emmc back on thought so you might actually get a working motherboard back if you get lucky. This would benefit the community as awkward as it is to ask.

Hello, long time reader...first time poster.
I am making this thread in hopes that someone out there will be able to help me find a solution that I have been so far unable to find. I have spent many hours searching to attempt to find a resolution to my problem, but have been unsuccessful thus far.
My problem is this: My KFTT is/was rooted but still using stock ROM. I had all of PERSANO's tweaks active..and various apps installed. Lately(the past couple weeks) I have been experiencing issues with freezing (hard freeze, unable to do anything except hold power button down until it powers off), while attempting to fix the freezing issue, I managed to corrupt my systemUI.apk (exactly how this happened is at this point unclear). The result of this is that the kindle will boot to the lock screen as usual, but after unlocking goes to black screen.
I have seen many threads on XDA and elsewhere devoted to the systemUI.apk issue..but I believe that my situation is unique and have been unable to find a solution in any of the other threads. As a last resort after being unable to make any headway, I decided to system restore after being told by someone that this would solve my issue.
The result of the system restore is that although the systemUI.apk issue is still present and unchanged, now it seems that my ADB debugging is disabled, along with anything else that might be of any help in controlling the kindle without being able to see anything/use any functions of the kindle..
My question is this: Short of buying a fastboot cable, is there ANYTHING that I can do to fix my kindle? Would REALLY appreciate any responses. Thanks in advance.

No, not at this point. You have no ADB which leaves only a factory restore via fastboot. Make sure you know which Kindle version you have as the images you flash must be for the model Kindle. Flashing the wrong images will most likely hard brick your tablet.

Not sure about Blaze. Tate is the code name. So only use Tate images.

Hey guys,
I've had my HD for a while, and after watching some tutorials, and reading through some things on here, I decided to root. I got TWRP and everything set up, downloaded CM11 and the kk gapps, I even made a backup. and then, like an idiot, wiped my entire device. I've tried pushing files over, but they stay on the screen they should transfer from no matter how long I leave them, and nothing happens. I even made a .txt file with nothing in it and left it for 30 mins because I thought it might be the sheer crappiness of my computer. Nothing. I'm assuming that I deleted something on my kindle that should work as the receiver. I've read talk of mounting it, but it never pops up on my computer. When looking on my computer, and reinstalling my adp drivers, it says that it installed those ones, but that the regular kindle ones didn't work, and it refuses to come up in my computers finder. Can someone please, PLEASE, help me? Trying to root this was stupid and I really regret it now. I'd be content with getting to install the Fire HD ROM again, or the KitKat one.
EDIT: Guys, read this, and pay special attention to the .zip part if you're having my problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
If you have a fastboot cable you can boot it into fastboot and revert to stock by flashing stock images, then reroot, install twrp, and flash CM11.
