Recently while updating my Kindle Fire HD 7, my device went into a bootloop where it would boot into TWRP and the TWRP logo kept blinking, I live at a place where it is impossible to procure a factory cable. After numerous failed attempts on making one myself i gave up on factory cables. I however wasn't satisfied enough by my failures so i went the hard way and out of curiosity connected my Kindle to my Laptop and did an ADB device lookup. VOILA ! It was there but now i was wondering how to get it into the fastboot mode from there. After crashing my head several times and punching a few commands my device booted into the orange heaven for a hacker. "The FASTBOOT Mode." So if you are in the same situation i hope this guide will be able to help you unbrick your device.
Steps:
1. Power on your device until the dreadful TWRP LOGO starts flashing.
2. Connect your kindle with your PC.
3. Type in "adb devices" and check if your device is available.
4. If your device shows up in ADB Devices List, Proceed to the next step.
5. Type in "adb reboot bootloader"
6. Now the device will boot into the fastboot mode.
7. Download TWRP from here
8. cd to the folder where your twrp image has been downloaded and type "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img" to flash it
TWRP downloading from the link indicated installs a Trojan on your PC. Caution

This version TWRP has been uploaded by @Hashcode , Kindly use the second button to download (BlueColor) and not the 1st one.

Do you want me to test it? I will be able to do so in about 1-2 months because I have the same problem. I'm gonna save this page in favorites until then.
Sent by my kfhd7 with BeanStalk-4.4.4065-20141002-tate and Twrp 2.8.7.0
Okay, I've put in the last command, and now it says it is waiting for any device. It doesn't seem to want to detect my device, any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind, just had to set it to the adb composite driver!
device never booted into fastboot mode

Hi all I am following the info for this rooting method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654 when i get to the section where i try and type comands in with the phone in fastboot i get errors saying cant load radio.img and it won't find the device with "adb devices" command but it will find it if the phone is on and running and pluged in to usb its a rogers htc dream using sdk 1.6 any ideas ?
what kind of phone do you have?
He has a rogers htc dream.
If it says it cannot load the .img make sure it is in the folder that you are operating from. If that still doesn't work, then make sure you have adb/fastboot properly set up

I think the problem is getting the computer to recongize the phone in fastboot mode because when I try adb devices it returns a device but when the phone is completly booted but will not return device in fastboot runing windows sdk 1.6 and I updated the driver

the phone wont be recognized as a fastboot device if it is fully booted. It has to be in fastboot mode to be recognized. Boot phone into fastboot (back+power) then your 3 androids skateboarding screen. it will say fastboot. plug in your cable and it will say fastboot usb. then try fastboot devices.
Should it matter when I plug in the usb cable have tried putting it fastboot mode already pluged in and it says fastboot usb but the commands don't work should I plug the cable in after fastboot is started
It shouldnt matter.
allright got all the steps to work except for install the new update it gives me errors and says "e:can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
installation aborted"
What am i doing wrong?

If you have fastboot cable you can get KFFAide and restore to 7.2.3 and do root method thru there which is easier IMO

i don't know what is it a fastboot cable so i don't mind that i have it
Credit goes to @seokhun for this
Fastboot mode without a factory cable
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Hit enter, and it should return with . If it doesn't, your fastboot drivers aren't working. Install Android SDK and go from there. If it does, connect your turned-off Kindle to the computer. Two things will happen: one, the command prompt will show "Tate-xxx-xxx" (something there), and two, your Kindle should reboot into fastboot mode. To exit fastboot mode, after you finished flashing what you needed, type this:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
If you can fully boot into the ROM, you can use ADB to boot into fastboot, but you must still use the same command above to reboot out of fastboot mode
You can use this for fastboot and use KFFAide to restore and everything should work if you need better explanation for this check this link

i have tried it but nothing when i connect the kindle it reboot into the room i try to boot into fastboot with command
Code:
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
but respond to me :

If it can't find su, then your device is not rooted and you can't run that command.

You will probably need a fastboot cable unless you get lucky with the "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" command, I usually only see that command working on the 8.9" models though. What root methods have you tried already?

fastboot commands work in bootloader
adb commands work in custom recovery (eg TWRP) or booted up ROM (with USB debugging enabled)
so if you need adb then enter custom recovery, check your device manager again, because it changes depending on where you are (bootloader, TWRP ... even version matters, or ROM)
once in TWRP, and device manager is good, adb devices should return you serial number and "recovery" -> then you can use adb commands

[Solved] After the last edit, I could go to fastboot and redo a "fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot twrp.img"
Hello,
I have a z2 pro, and i wanted to change the ROM on it. Since it came with a modified ROM, i flash a stock ROM. I then unlocked bootloader sucessfully.
I transfered the new ROM to the phone and did a
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The phone booted with twrp correctly. I then did a wipe of system, cache and dalvik.
I tried to install the new ROM, but it prompted me the error "Unknown Command [log]". Having already installed a new ROM on another device, i remembered that disconnecting the usb cable or rebooting did the work, so i did both.
Now, the phone isn't recognized by my computer, so i can't redo the "fastboot flash", and when i go into recovery mode, it isn't TWRP that is loaded but this

How can i do to load TWRP again on the phone, or flash a ROM ?
I have shut down the phone and hold the power button, windows seems to recognize it as a cd drive. QFIL still doesn't change his status from "no port available"
Edit: After reinstalling QPST, qualcomm driver and usb driver, QFIL now detect this port "ShenQi HS-USB Diagnostics (COM4)" and if i check "Show Non QDLoader\DIAG Port" it also show "ShenQi HS-USB NMEA (COM7)" and "ShenQi test mode Interface (COM5)".
When i tried to do a download content, i got prompted the following error "Download Fail: Switch to EDL Fail".
When i run "adb devices" it show the phone under "? unauthorized"

@maxorus When you power on phone you should have start menu for 5 sec. if your bootloader is unlocked . Just push vol - or vol + , then choose fastboot ( bootloader ) and confirm by power

I think you must delete your old drivers from PC and install news.
Switch off your phone.
Keep Pressing vol down button 4/5 secs & connect usb.
Check device manager in pc.
If its showing diagnosis no problem.
Open qfil & load content file from ur rom.
Click download content & just keep it connected.
Qfil automatically switches to download mode (9008) & starts flashing rom.
If download mode does not start on its own check these items below :
Update Qualcomm driver
Update windows, even optional updates.
Use QPST 2.7
Let me know the progress!!
Hi all.
I would not be writing this topic if everything I did havent failed.
I tried every possible solution to this I was able to find on the internet - nothing has worked so far.
I tried doing this on different PCs - same result.
I flashed Syberia ROM but didnt like it so decided to go with MIUI 9.7.10.12. I already had TWRP at that time but when I flashed MIUI everything erased, I mean everything - data, storage, TWRP everything.
System works fine but I am unable to flash TWRP with constant message: error: device '(null)' not found.
ADB device not found but fastboot works and ADB shows device connected. The phone is authorized with USB debugging turned on, drivers installed on PC, TWRP image file is correct. I am lost :/ dont know what to do.
Please help
there is no need to flash recovery via adb. twrp should be flash from fastboot. turn off your phone, hold volume down and power for few seconds and phone will boot in fastboot mode.
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

If I go manually to recovery (vol up + power) the phone reboots to stock recovery so the TWRP is not installed. I tried different versions of TWRP. no progress
Type
Fastboot reboot
and now you can go to twrp recovery by manually .. Power off phone, volume up + power
Or you can also do this

fastboot reboot --> phone goes to system
vol up + power --> stock recovery
the problem is TWRP is not flashing :/
it is not USB debugging problem, not USB drivers problem.
The other thing is I can go to fastboot through ADB only when im on CHARGING MODE, it doesnt work on MTP MODE where it should.
brother you just flashed twrp successfully in the screenshot you posted, point is miui, dont let it stick when you boot to system and reboot.
you should, do this. go to fastboot
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img

you can flash other modded recovery which will stick. like zcx
