After trying to install CM on my kindle after rerooting it (it lost its root after amazon pushed an update a couple months back), I'm getting stuck with a boot loop which gets me to the static yellow kindle fire logo and then resets over and over back to the same static logo.
It's not being picked up by ADB after installing the SDK and USB drivers, and obviously not being picked up in device manager.
Just trying to figure out what my next steps are. I'm already guessing it'll be getting a fastboot cable/making one, but any other ideas you guys have I can work on in the mean time?
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
[SOLVED] Just updating now I have my fastboot cable; accessed, and used Restore2Stock (google) to install TWRP onto my device via fastboot. After that, I adb push'd the stock o/s back onto the system and use TWRP to reinstall.

I recently rooted my kindle fire hd 7 running 7.4.6 and i had it working fine, I could use the adp connection, the drivers were working, and I could access the ad card. I then decided to flash twrp so that I could then install CM 10.1 and get jelly bean 4.2.2. I was able to install twrp by using fire flash and made sure to select the option to flash a 2nd boot loader but when I rebooted, the device gets stuck in a boot loop and always loads twrp, whether or not I wanted to. Apparently this problem can be fixed with an adp command, but I have not been able to attempt this fix because I no longer can get an adp connection with the kindle, and none of the drivers that worked prior to installing twrp were working. I can't access the sd card files to flash the CM 10.1 files, or anything else for that matter, and my PV (running windows 7) can't identify the device or install drivers. I have not tried to use a factory cable and flash a new os in fast boot mode, and I'm not entirely sure how to do this properly so I would like to avoid resorting to this. If there is a way to get the adp connection and drivers to work, get the kindle to boot up normally instead of alway getting stuck in twrp, and install the CM 10.1 software I wanted, please let me know, and if there's no way to do this, how can I revert back to the amazon os with a factory cable. Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
hope you can help me. Have a little problem: After trying to root my fire, it is in a bootloop and i don't know what to do. Hope you can help me. I guess it is bricked.
Thanks
EDIT:
I tried to sideload the software bin, but it didn't worked. Also my computer doesn't show the devices with "adb devices".

Others have found that the fire will only show up on your pc after you select the sideload option on the fire. If it still doesn't show, try unplugging / replugging the usb. It seems to help some people to get it to appear. Also note that some devices will intentionally not allow you to flash bin if the battery level isn't high enough. It's a safety measure since running out of battery during a flash = brick. Be sure you're fully charged.
thanks, but..
Thank you for your response. I've tried everythin you said, but it didn't worked. Don't know what to do

If device is in adb sideload mode
Code:
adb devices
should return
Code:
G000HXXXXXXXXXXX.........sideload
if not drivers are not correct
Open device manager Settings>Devices>Device Manager
(If Kindle is not listed as Android>Android Composite ADB interface)
select Other Devices>Fire
Right Click>Update Driver Software
Browse my computer for Driver Software
Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer
select Android or Android Phone (or ADB Interface or Android Device)
Select Android Composite ADB interface
or Android Composite ADB interface

you may have to reboot pc
Hello, I'm a long time user of the forums I haven't had a new device to root since 2013 when I did my Nexus 7 FHD. I have always followed directions correctly and never bricked anything.... until now.
So anyway just got this tablet black friday sale and within minutes of opening the package I started to read up on rooting it.
I got into fastboot and started up TWRP_Fire_2.8.7.0 I made a backup on the device without error.
Then I installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 and tried to install open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20151129 but it failed.
I wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted. Now the tablet tries to boot into normal mode in a loop without success.
I have tried to get into recovery mode (volume down and power) but it fails and loops back to normal mode.
I can get into fastboot mode (volume up and power) and then back into TWRP however restoring the backup doesn't fix the boot loop.
I downloaded update-kindle-37.5.2.2_user_522053820.bin however I can't seem to figure out how to load it with TWPR sideload, and as I said I can't get into recovery mode.
Can anybody help me? @sd_shadow

:good: Awesome thank you very much, I thought about doing just that but figured I better ask the pros first.
I somehow missed that post on unbricking... :silly:
Thank you for all the help in advance!
Current state of device:
Fire HD 7" factory cable plugged in stuck on fastboot screen not loop just stuck no access to ADB (device not found[debian gnome])
I was deleting my previous ROM to go back to stock. I wiped my cache, os and everything then went to go and install the stock ROM and my little one managed to power the kindle down. I turned it back on to find kindlefire logo on the screen but it doesn't go past that. I built a factory cable and now it displays the fastboot logo but nothing else, not looping just frozen on the fastboot screen. So the computer [debian gnome] can't find the device when using ADB. (ADB is working with my other devices) I tried to follow a post about using the fastboot cmd to install the system.img, recovery.img and boot.img but did not know exactly what I was doing at that point. Is it done for? or is there hope?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
There is hope. You could try following the commands in the batch file from this post.

I've never tried it from Linux but so long as fastboot is working you should be able to flash the 3 images and then wipe data.
Thank you sooo much! this worked like a charm. I downloaded the img files and loaded them to the kindle via fastboot then rebooted and wala back to a fully functioning kindle. Thanks for the link!!!!
Glad to hear it helped you out.
Help me please
I have bricked my device. I can no longer get it past the bootloader Amazon image and can only get it into fastboot. Had root on device and was attempting to flash twrp so that i could install some custom roms. When flashing twrp the device restarted and has been stuck in a silver amazon bootloop. With the help of root junky's supertool i can get into factory recovery. but cannot sidload origional system back. I was gonna go back origional and re root. But can not get it out of bootloop. Tried using the system recovery thread found in second post on this thread and recieved an unsuccessful. Am i done for.... Kindle just stuck on fastboot screen now
Does your device have the front facing camera and the mini hdmi port?
SO I foolishly issued the fastboot command via ADB when it was working. I started to issue commands in order to install the 2nd bootloader and recovery. Since that point, the Kindle isn't recognized by Windows 10 Pro anymore and I've tried just about every utility, method and button combination there is.
I read that ADB only needs 4 seconds -/+ to initiate commands once the Kindle powers up. I've tried to issue the ADB to get it to boot back in normal mode and it always sits on <waiting for device>. I attached a screen shot showing what comes up in device manager. I've uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled but to no avail.
At this point, I'm willing to try anything. Stand on my head and shake the Kindle 5 times while rotating it clockwise....anything would help.
*UPDATE* I just more or less wiped my laptop which I have all the ADB drivers on as well as Android Studio. I'm going to run some tests to see if I can get that 4 second gap to initiate an ADB command to get the fastboot to go into normal boot more 4000.
*UPDATE 2* I managed to get generic ADB drivers as well as FASTBOOT drivers installed on my laptop. I can communicate with the Kindle a little. At this point, I've tried to issue ADB commands to restart with bootloader and other commands, but it only reboots back into FASTBOOT. The only thing I've been able to see is with KFFA, I can reboot to normal mode but it just comes back to FASTBOOT. I can also issue the test FASTBOOT and it gives me an ID and recognizes the Kindle. I've tried other options within KFFA but nothing seems to stick. I'm now officially stuck. Any help would be fantastic.
*UPDATE 3*
Thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...ment/unlock-kfsowi-bootloader-unlock-t3262770
I was able, or am in the process of loading a 2nd bootloader + TWRP and then on to CM13.
Any ideas?
Windows 10 Pro
Kindle Fire HD
Rooted with Kingroot
No Fastboot cable
Lots of frustration
Eh back to square one. It reverted and there is no TWRP recovery. It's stuck in FASTBOOT and will take most fastboot commands but I can't get ADB and the drivers loaded to issue any sideload commands.
This is weird.
Hello I have bricked my kindle fire and having similar driver issues I am able to get into fastboot mode with a diy factory cable boot any fastboot command comes back waiting for device . Can I ask where you got drivers please?
I used these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890413
I also ran like every single recovery tool out there to help me fix this. After I did fix it, it updated to latest version and there is no root yet for it. I sold it.
If you need help, I think I might still have all the tools I used to get this back to stock and working.

Hey guys, I'm kinda worried rn. A little while ago, i decided to mess around with the idea of installing an android os on my kindle fire hd 7" (3rd generation). After rooting the device, enableing adb, then trying to do the twrp method, i accidentily factory reset the device. Here's the problem. After accidentally factory wiping the device, i forgot to enable adb options in the settings, and then i tried again and got it stuck in a bootloop of sorts, and i'm not exactly sure what i did wrong. and now whenever it boots up, it does the normal boot up for a few secs, flashes red, then goes to "fastboot". now heres the kicker. since i forgot to enable adb options, i cant flash anything remotely, and im out of ideas. Any thoughts?
(ps i have a factory cable, android sdk, and adb installed on my computer)
(pps i just tried this method, and i did respond, just booted to fastboot again https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356257)
