You are going to need to get the device into fastboot and restore the system.img through there. I did the same thing trying next launcher, it really doesnt play nice with the kindle fire os.

Thanks you but I'm only 15 years old and I can't buy this cable :/
Is there any tutorial for noobs, how I come into fastboot without cable?
Becaus I searched and I find methode called "FireFireFire" but no tutorial :/
Firefirefire is not for the HD, it would brick your kindle even worse. You can attempt to make a fastboot cable, but you need a soldering iron. But in the end you will need a fastboot cable to fix it.

Thanks you very much for this Thread, but "Two things will happen: one, the command prompt will show "Tate-xxx-xxx" (something there), and two, your Kindle should reboot into fastboot mode.
My Kindle only starts but in the cmd only I can see "<Waiting for device>" there don't appear a Code.
Is it now in fastboot or not? Or what I should do now?
Personally I never have been able to get that method to work. If u do and your kindle comes up with a screen that says fast boot then that command worked, otherwise I suggest just getting a fast boot cable or making one it is much simpler.

Hello.
After hours of struggling and Googling (and reading mostly from this forum) I managed to root my KFHD 7.4.6 using bin4ry method. I have two questions about where I'm at right now.
Question 1: While struggling to get adb to recognize my KF, I realized that the problem was quite simple: after installing the special adb drivers, I would plug the Kindle back in and Windows would recognize the device and install the Microsoft drivers - completely ignoring the driver I had just installed. The only way I managed to get around this was to quickly interrupt Windows 7's driver installation and tell it to NOT install drivers from Windows Update.
However, I'm sure there must have been a more elegant way of accomplishing this. What would have been the correct way to do this?
Question 2: Now that adb finally recognizes the KF, and the KF shows up as "Android Composite ADB Interface" in device manager, I want to put Android 4.2.2 on the KF - so CM 10.1. I'm doing preparatory research so I can learn about what I need to do. The big concern for me now is that my KF version is 7.4.6. There seems to be relatively little information about this, and I've seen it explicitly indicated in a few places that only versions before 7.3.something have the exploit available. Does this mean I must first downgrade from 7.4.6? I've had trouble pinning resources down that would help me answer this question - so if anyone has any solid tips about this, I'd appreciate it! I'd really rather not brick it :silly:
Thanks! :good:

I just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
So the answer to my question appears to be "YES", correct? It appears that I need to flash back to 7.2.3?
Question 1 still remains unsolved.
Well you could downgrade it, I don't know if the latest update causes problems, but the thing that needs downgrading isn't the os, its the bootloader. I suggest the fireflash method in seokhuns tutorial, the one you linked. Just make sure to check the first box at the top in fire flash or you will have a red screen brick, which requires a fastboot cable to fix. Also I have never heard of windows update having drivers for the kindle, I mean I usually hit skip anyways, I believe the more elegant solution may have come with kindle fire first aid, not positive though.

Thanks!
I'm having another little inconsistency now.
I disconnect and power off my KF.
I run in cmd: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
It says < waiting for device >
I then plug in my (powered off) KF, and it boots up NORMALLY, and fastboot doesn't return the expected tate-xxx.
Any ideas why?
My ADB is seeing the device. (ie. adb devices is returning one device).
Your fastboot drivers aren't working.

Indeed. Can this be solved by wiping existing drivers and reinstalling Amazon's USB drivers from sdk/extras/amazon ?
EDIT: I've attempted reinstall twice with no improvement. ADB works, fastboot won't.
Um I thought that command only worked on a 8.9" kindle to get it into fastboot.try this instead:
Adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"

Interesting. I tested that. adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader" does indeed put my device in fastboot mode, and fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot takes it out.
Interesting. Seokhun's tutorial seems to indicate that fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product should do it as well... so it seems that my fastboot drivers are... kinda half working? Or something?

That option may have been removed in later versions of the bootloader. Some have had success with it while others apparently haven't. If the reboot command works, your drivers should be working properly.

Sounds good, thanks. I'm following that tutorial even though it's for 7.4.3, and I'm on 7.4.6. I hope that doesn't cause any issues - but 7.4.6 looks like it's pretty new, so I don't see other options.
Ok - I've followed the aforementioned tutorial precisely up to step 4. When I try to boot the kindle up, it shows orange logo, then blue logo, then looks like it's trying to boot normally, then sends me into TWRP.
Is this what is called "boot loop"?
At this point my PC doesn't see the sdcard so I can't get CM/Gapp copied over.
Would it be safe to push CM & Gapp to the sdcard using adb, then resume with TWRP?
EDIT: Still can't boot into the system. Just sideloaded CM 10.1 ROM onto the sdcard. Safe to continue with Step 4, wipe stuff, and install the CM rom?

This ended up working.
However, now with CM 10.1, my PC isn't recognizing the device for MTP. It still does recognize it as an ADB device, but ADB doesn't see it.
Odd that MTP isn't working, u can always switch to pptp mode if that helps, but everything goes to the dcim folder on the sdcard.

Got it working. Basically just uninstalled the existing drivers and reinstalled standard drivers. Works like a charm. I love CM, this is great! Thanks all, for the help!
I'll worry about getting adb going again later.
Hey all
My kindle Fire HD 8.9 is stuck in demo mode.
Please tell me their is an idiots guide to Flashing it back or any bloody operating system cos im tearing my hear out with it..
I can do ANYTHING on the actual Unit itself the demo mode has it completely locked down Its basicaly just a slide show you cant do anything..
I have a factory cable and im not an idiot I could really use a step by step guide does anyone know of one?
Please help guys or its getting thrown of the window lol.
Use a normal cable, and run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" while the device is powered off and not plugged in, then once the command prompt says waiting for device, plug you kindle in, it should boot into fastboot, from there I believe you can use kindle fire first aid to restore it to a normal amazon os. If once in fastboot you have issues with drivers, try using the ones in my signature.

Hi Stunts,
Thank you very much indeed for your reply and for trying to help me
I wonder if you could dumb that down a little bit more for me.
Im assuming the command you gave me is to be used with abd ?
But I cant seem to get it to work... I downloaded the Dev kit from android and whenever I click on what im assuming is the ABD exe it just does nothing
I need a little more hand holding lol
Much appreciated though buddy.
Noodles.
OK you can't just click that, its a command line program. Do you know how to use the windows command prompt?

Yeah I remember vaguely from years ago.
Also use dosbox sometimes so i get the general gist of it yeah.
ok so basically you need to open a command prompt, and cd into the directory fastboot and adb are in, if you don't have fastboot in the same folder as adb in your android sdk, u probably have to update it first, or just get on of the utilities from the forum that comes with it. anyways once you cd into that directory, unplug your kindle, and turn it off then run this command in command prompt: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
now after it says waiting for device, plug your kindle in, i believe it will automatically power on, if it doesn't then hit the power button, it should boot into fastboot mode. From there you can use the kindle fire first aid program to flash the stock rom onto it. Kindle fire first aid is in the 7" general forum (they really should rename it, its more like kindle second generation general forum). I would post a link but i'm on my pc, yea i know that sounds weird but its much more of a pain to do that on my pc when i have as much junk up on it right now as i do, maybe i'll edit the post in a few from my kindle, i'm trying to mod the systemui and framework...

Hi stunts,
Thanks again for another reply
Ive managed to get in to adb and used the command u gave me.
It says waiting for device so i plugged the kindle in (powered off) The kindle turns itself on and just goes straight to demo mode CMD sits and waiting for device
The kindle always seems to install itself on my computer as a portable media device is this a problem?
I did down load the USB drivers in your signature and tried to update to them but the system says they are up to date.
I also tried to uninstall the kindle and reinstall it with your drivers and it still goes to the one windows already has for it.
Well that's odd, that should have worked on a 8.9 inch model, um I don't think fastboot cables work on 8.9 inch models, but that command should work when used like that. A few months ago I found a thread just like yours, I'd have to do some digging to find it. I will see if I can find it.
Edit: found it, you shouldn't need a fastboot cable if its a 8.9" model, read through the entire thread it may have some insights for you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096555

Don't waste your time with this suggestion. You will need kindlefirefirstaide. There is an option to restore it to stock. You will need to modify the batch file to fix the Dropbox links. All the info you need is in the kffa thread.
Bought a Demo'd Fire HD 6 from Radio Shack during their "Going Out of Business Sale". After tons and tons and tons of reading, and attempting to reflash the boot, I just ./adb reboot recovery, and the Fire wiped clean. Performed a full factory recovery install, and proceeded to register it with Amazon. I have no intention of installing any custom ROMs on it, so now I have a fully functioning Fire for $30. :laugh:
To get rid of demo mode Amazon Fire phone
You can just hold volume up and power while device is off then toggle to wipe data factory reset and demo mode will be gone
Is it possible to root the Kindle Fire HD 7 2nd Generation?
I have been attempting to do so for the past week, with no success. Don't know if I'm not searching hard enough, or if it is simply not possible.
The first problem I had was that I wasn't able to have adb access to the Kindle Fire HD. I finally got that down, and now it works. I am able to use the "adb devices" command and my kindle appears.
I cannot report the same thing for fastboot, though. I bought a fastboot adapter for the cable from Team Blackhat and the devices goes into fastboot. Unfortunately, command prompt just says waiting for devices when I try using the "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product". I don't understand why fastboot is not accessible. (The fastboot logo does appear on the device screen.)
I have been trying to use KFSOWI All-in-One Tool, Qemu's and other well known rooting programs for the past week with no success. I simply want to root it, but I can't get it down.
If I could get some help with that, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

If the commands aren't working you probably don't have the fastboot driver installed. Look in the device manager for a device with a yellow triangle next to it, probably called Soho (I could be wrong), download my drivers and extract them somewhere, and hit update drivers on the device and point it to my drivers. If it can't find a suitable driver tell me because I don't remember if I ever added 2013 kfhd support to them.

There is no bootloader access for the Soho and the root tool you're using is for the 2012 KFHD and will not work on the 2013 KFHD.
Edit: The link in my signature will lead you to the root process for the Soho.

Hi all. This is my first post and I want to thank all the devs for the great job.
As for my question. I have a kindle fire 7" HDX Model X43Z60 that was stuck in a boot loop. We ordered a factory cable and was able to get it into fastboot, I also was able to install the drivers properly. It comes up as android adb interface. No errors or yellow signs.
adb and fastboot are not seeing the device when I try to list them. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. Reboots. I'm not sure what else to do here after much fiddling around with it. I can't get nothing to work even though the kindle is showing up in device manager and showing no conflicts.
I would like to at least get this kindle to factory reset.
Any information you can give me would be very much appreciated.
