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.
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?
Tried to update the Kindle 7" Tate to MM tonight.
Flashed the ROM no problem but when it came to GAPPs philz recovery was blocking it for some reason.
No problem i thought i'll downgrade the ROM and use flashify to flash the TWRP bootloader.
Now i'm stuck on Fastboot splash screen whenever i turn on, tried the quick pull reboot but because i've messed the bootloader that was pretty unhopeful.
Worse problem is that i cant seem to find my fastboot cable.
Ive reinstalled minimal adb and fastboot and ive got the boot img ready to flash but i cant seem to get the device to be recognised with fastboot -i9 0x1949 getvar
Wish i'd just left the stupid device on lollipop now.
Any advice would be gratefully recieved.
p.s. As i hunt for my fastboot cable - am i looking for a cable with a micro usb or mini usb connector on? If im looking at the ports - which connector does it go in? Its soooo long since I first did the kindle.

Glad to report that my kindle 7" lives on.
Ordered a new fastboot cable, needed the google usb drivers installed and then simply ADB flashed TWRP recovery.
Now rocking CM13!
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.

I had a tate running candy lollipop for years, my kids had it and got a new tablet yesterday. I took the old tate and upgraded to crdroid, full wipes, was running fine. Then, me being an idiot I tried flashing magisk which resulted in the tate not booting past the yellow/orange kindle fire logo.
I had crdroid 7.1.2 and twrp 3.0 installed, cant boot to recovery, cant boot at all. Fastboot hangs on <waiting for devices> and I know I have fastboot/adb/sdk/kindle drivers etc all installed but still nothing. I dont care if I have to flash it all back to fireOS or whatever, just want it working, I did have a factory cable from 4 years ago but cant find it, probably lost...
Is there anything I can do with normal usb cables? Or do I need to order a new cable? Any key combinations to try? any simple reset tools? KFFaide doesnt 'seem' to be of any use as its asking to choose option 15 but I dont have that many options, but that is all set up correctly with the paths etc...
Cheers.

I had this exact problem and solved it. For more context I would read some of the posts before it where I explain my problem (start with Feb 10).

Cheers mate, I had already got a cable ordered as I figured there was nothing I could do with any of these 20+ usb cables I must have lying around my house
I'll wait for that to turn up and go straight to just installing the freedom boot img, hopefully it all works as the crdroid rom was surprisingly good in the half hour I was using it.
Cheers again.
IT WORKED!!!!!

I literally did the exact same thing as you. Flashed crdroid, flashed magisk later without thinking, stuck on the boot loop, unable to get into twrp recovery.
Got a fastboot cable, able to get tablet into fastboot, and followed Devo7v's instructions from the other thread that was linked, and afterwards I'm still stuck bootlooping, no access to recovery. I've tried so many different things. Can anyone help?

Update: (sooner than I expected)
After almost giving up, came across the Ultimate Unbrick Utility on Tekify (don't have enough posts here to link directly, yet). I was able to use it to finally reset my Tate to factory settings with a fastboot cable, and correctly boot. It bootlooped once before booting correctly.

Sorry, I havent actually logged on here for ages so only just saw this.
Mine was just really simple, D/L these 2 files:
boot kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img
recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img
from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=34232
And placed on desktop, got SDK downloaded and installed from this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw
Kindle fire HD drivers from THIS link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890413
And rebooted PC, opened cmd prompt and entered: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Plugged in turned off kindle with the fastboot cable, cmd prompt acknowledged it was plugged in
entered: cd c:\users\ROBNEY\desktop
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img [enter]
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img [enter]
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot [REMOVE CABLE THE MICROSECOND THE FASTBOOT LOGO DISSAPEARS FROM KINDLE SCREEN]
Then you can reboot to twrp (hold power and volume up, let go of power when kindle logo turns blue)
