[Q] Red Screen?

I was following the steps in the Bootloader & Recovery thread, but I don't have a factory cable and was using my USB. During the flashboot steps, I ended up using KFHDBackup for fastboot. Step 5 was going fine until I entered "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot", then my device went red. I'm fully borked, aren't I. If I turn it off and back on again, for a microsecond I can see KindleFire, then it goes to a full red screen. Any advice would be great, but I have that feeling that I may have done my device in. :crying:
UPDATE: Ordered a fastboot cable from ebay, ran the tool from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 . Chose option 2. After first boot I was in recovery, selected factory reset. Kindle back up and running.
UPDATE 2: After restoring, got the 7.3 firmware update. The Bin4ry exploit will still root. Reinstalled Google play, leaving it that way for now.
UPDATE 3: With hashcode's updated bootloader and recovery, I was able to install them. Rooted kindle now running Kinology.

I should add...
I can no longer communicate between my device and PC. adb commands aren't working.

Bricked Kindle Fire HD

I screwed up installing CM10.1 forgot to put rom onto device and ended up in boot loop.
I got a fastboot cable but the kindle shows as Tate PVT and the update driver box is greyed out. Cant get fastboot or adb to recognise the device.
Is there anyway to recover from this
Thanks

You have TWRP installed, right? Does your Kindle Fire logo turn blue while booting?

If you have twrp installed and the blue kindle boot screen just hit volume down and use the side load feature. But if your fastboot is giving u a problem where u can't hit update driver I would assume it would be because windows is already searching for one still? If so tell windows to skip obtaining from windows update and it finish sooner so u can try to update it manually.

Hi Baconrind. Screwing one’s device is a good opportunity to learn new things. At least this is what happened to me and I’m glad I did. A couple of months ago I bought a new KFHD7. I spend "wonderful :laugh:" weeks as the happy owner of a KFHD7 until I started to discover the shortcomings of same, so I started reading xda-developers’ stuff to try to customise the device. First I rooted it to be able to install Google Play Store. The idea was to stay as close to stock as possible. Unfortunately I lost root with the first Amazon OTA update, then I decided to install a second bootloader, TWRP, etc. To do that I followed Hashcode’s method Kindle Fire 2nd-bootloader + TWRP for the Kindle Fire HD 7 but at some point I bricked :crying: my device. I was stuck at the Kindle Fire logo. I spent hours browsing through xda-developers and discovered that the first thing to do was to get a fastboot cable. I did not have the patience to wait for it to come from China or wherever they make them, so I found a couple of posts on the xda forum here and here. I made my own even my soldering capabilities are quite limited. I shut down the KFHD7 and plugged the “fastboot” cable to the PC and then to the Kindle, a couple of seconds later I could see the fastboot logo. Once I saw the fastboot logo I unplugged it and used the regular data transfer cable instead. Before I started the unbricking process proper I downloaded and installed this tool: KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5.-7.3. I followed the onscreen indications and could reset my KFHD7 back to its original state. Good luck.

[Q] ROM bootloop, fastboot and recovery not working

I swear I looked far and wide but this appears to be different from the usual "bootloop" questions. Apologies if not.
I flashed a bad ROM, and the device won't boot all the way into the OS. Just sits at the ROM logo for hours.
I previously installed FFF 1.4, so I do get the blue KindleFire logo momentarily, but any fastboot commands I try to send to it just come back with "waiting for device" and then "ERROR: Unable to create a plug-in (e00002be)". I've got TWRP installed and backups galore but I cant figure out how to get to it. I do have a fastboot cable.
Totally at a loss as to what to do. I feel like there's a really simple fix I'm missing, but I've poured through pages of Kindle Fire posts and everyone seems to be having a problem with the KindleFire logo screen and pre-getting all the way to recovery and ROMS installed.
Any help would be much appreciated dudes, you guys always get me sorted out. Thanks!

It sounds like you need the fastboot drivers loaded. Does it appear in device manager when it is plugged in and in fastboot mode?

It comes up under Other Devices: Kindle

Well, now I've got it coming up under Kindle Fire: Android ADB Composite Device. But at no point, apparently does it enter fastboot mode and I can't get any commands to work. Just scoots right through both KindleFire logos and then on to the ROM logo ad infinitum.

Help! I have a Tate tablet that thinks its an Ariel.

Hi, I have a kindle fire HD 7(Tate) 3rd gen, and I messed it up. I installed twrp somehow, but when I tried to flash something, it said something along the lines of: Error, this package is meant for Tate, this device is Ariel. Now It won't boot(it goes into Amazon's updating(should take 10 mins) screen and stops when the progress bar fills up completely, it doesn't reboot, it just freezes.), when I try to boot it into twrp, it goes as far as the white amazon logo and reboots. I have adb access when it is in the updating screen, luckily. Fastboot mode won't let me flash anything(flashing not allowed for locked hw), and when I type a fastboot command, I can't type in the 0x1949, because it just says waiting for device, but without it, it recognizes it. Any help? Thank you! More info: imgur. com/V6FymMy

Kindle Fire HD 7" wont restore - I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING - READ!!!

Hi,
about 3 weeks ago I came across a kindle fire hd 7 tablet at the value world thrift store for $8. I purchased it without testing it at all. once I brought it home, I plugged the device in to find that it would not boot past the kindle fire screen (fire is in orange). I attempted booting recovery, download mode, fastboot, bootloader with the buttons before doing any research but nothing happened. After looking around online I found out I could unbrick this device with a cable I would have to purchase off eBay. I purchased the cable and it came a week later.
I charged the device overnight that day when I went to be to ensure the device was 100% charged, so when I attempted the restore I wouldn't run into a low battery issue. after the device was charged up it was back on the kindle fire screen still waiting to be restored. i searched everywhere and came across tons of dead link, but eventually found the restore tool that was called Kindle Fire First Aide . after forever I setup the program properly and that included the drivers ( had to use adb composite), environment variables (path to the tool), Java development kit and running the bat file as admin. once I got that setup I ran the bat file and then I got more errors which all seemed to be dead link problems.
when that happened I decided to attempt a manual restore via fastboot through cmd commands. I didn't know about " -i 0x1949 " at first so I ran into waiting for device errors. after learning that about that from editing the bat file in the first aid kit I was able to complete a system, boot and recovery image flash. after flashing I cleared user data and cache manually also. Then I ran a reboot command and the device screen went flash and would reboot over and over about 15-30 times before coming to a stop and not bootlooping anymore. I found out this from leaving the cable in the tablet after running the reboot script, my windows laptop would make the sound notifying me over a new device being plugged in. when that happened I decided to open the device manager so I could see if it was unknown or anything. it didn't show anything at all. windows prompted me with an unknown device error also on every boot loop reboot. after that occurred I assumed the script was wrong but that wasn't possible because the device did the reboot. so I looked for another restore tool.
I ended up finding another tool called Kindle Fire Hd System restore tool. that tool was a lot more easy to use than first aid tool kit because they put way too many options in the program. making it so the program had to be set up one way and one way only. I tried the system restore tool and it resulted in the same error, the device would reboot with the boot loop when I tried to boot into normal mode and when I didn't and manually powered down and back on. the device would be stuck on the kindle fire screen again for hours until it would die.
at this point I don't know what to do, I have tried to boot into recovery and looked into more options. maybe I didn't try everything I should have but I feel like I cover all the ground properly. I tried to flash twrp and the freedom boot image but those didn't work either. it could be possible that twrp did install and the volume button it damaged so I can't boot because of that.
if anyone has an idea or tip let me know. please and thank you. going through all this trouble was fun, to be honest, but now after investing so much time, i would really like to use the tablet with a custom ROM. if there is a hardware issue or you think there could be another problem preventing it from ever booting again. please let me know! thanks again
