I made some changes to the build.prop and rebooted, and now it gets stuck at the Kindle Fire boot animation. I can't get it to boot into safe mode either. Is there a way to unbrick or restore it without a factory cable? I can't get it to show up with adb.
If there's no way, I could probably make a factory cable, but it would be nice to fix it without having to do that.

Yes there is a way to get the 8.9 into fastboot so you can restore it without a factory cable, as a factory cable does not work on this device.
Power down the device and unplug
Open a cmd prompt where you have access to the fastboot script from SDK
Enter this command (or any fastboot cmd as long as you include [-i 0x1949]:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
It will say "waiting for device"
Plug in the device and it will automatically boot into fastboot.
I have confirmed this works works when the device is in a loop and adb is not recognized. This does not work on the other models, a factory cable is required. Once in fastboot you can flash a backup image. I will be posting an update to the KFHD SRTool in the development section this morning to include 8.9" version

Tried that... The command you said just shows the help list, if I do a different fastboot command it says waiting for device and then the Kindle boots normally and gets stuck at boot animation like usual.

Are you sure you typed that command correctly because the help menu comes up if a command is entered wrong, I just did it and it worked fine. When you enter a fastboot command for this device it has to have the- [-i 0x1949] after fastboot, that is a zero not an O. If that is not done it will boot normally
ie:
fastboot -i 0x1949 [command]
I've posted the update for the 8.9 restore tool in development section
It could be because I have an older version of fastboot. Any chance you could upload the newest version for me?

Here you go:
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B4lZEJI5lYeMdzJobG5jSk9QSEk/edit
If you need to restore the system image though, you should just download the KFHD_SRTool from development section for 8.9 and follow the instructions. It has fastboot included in the tool.
I've done the same thing with my kindle fire hd 7 (7.2.2 rooted, no TWRP), now its just stuck on the boot animation.
adb does not recognize the device. I tried using fastboot, (with the normal usb cable), it gets stuck with the '<waiting for device>' message.
The device manager does show the Kindle, but earlier it used to show 2 devices, a kindle and an adb composite
Were you ultimately able to solve this issue?

Turns out, it was a driver issue. Installed the proper Amazon driver, then it was detected by the adb. From there on, I was able to replace the bad build.prop with my backup

My Kindle Fire 8.9" SW v.8.1.4 is completely dark and unresponsive as the result of an unsuccessful attempt to root using KF utility 0.9.6. I suspect results would have been different if I'd had the sense to locate your tool and use it instead. Having downloaded KFHD for v8.1.4, I have tried to get the tool talking with the brick, and see only < waiting for device > eternally. I have charged overnight, held the power button down for >20 sec. to make sure the device was off, then bumped the power button. This should assure that the device is on, but in Amazon's wisdom there are no LEDs to confirm this. Do you have any suggestions for getting the device in a communicative state? I am perfectly willing to open the case. Please forgive the post if this is not the right thread for it, and point me to the right spot if you can.

I have exactly the same problem. This KFU-version seems to be a real KF 8.9"-killer.
My device does not respond to anything, regardless what I tried. Connecting to a PC does not trigger any response. The device is not recognized by the PC in any way. I believe that there is no USB-communication at all. I tried a factory-mode cable and this didn't work, too.
Any help would be appreciated, really!
Thanks and regards

Add another brick to the pile. Fire HD 8.9. Already rooted, OTA defeated, and Google App'd, but wanted the security of FFF just in case. Planned to used KFU 0.9.6 to set fastboot and then push FFF 1.4a once in fastboot. Instead, used KFU 0.9.6 to automatically install FFF. It appeared that KFU pushed FFF and then sent a reboot. The machine never came back to life after that shutdown.

I removed the back - there are no obvious 'fastboot' pads on any of the boards as there is for the HD 7".
Does anyone think that a factory cable would get this thing's attention? edit...apparently not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20380015&postcount=9

Another one bites the dust...but hopefully not
Hi guys,
I tried the KFFirstAide tool to root my Fire 8.9, but after it ran, it just wipes red and then goes to the fastboot screen after powering up. I've used the KFHD SRT tool to replaced the system.img file, but still the same thing happens. Is it possibly because I need to restore the boot.img and recovery.img (which KFFirstAide overwrites) as well? And if so, does someone have a clean copy of those that will work with 8.1.4? Thanks!

anyone have a working link for KFHD_SRT? i can get into TWRP and into fastboot mode, but simply trying to boot results in a black screen after the blue kindlefire logo
Wait don't do it!

I hope you didn't swap motherboards... Like user onemeila stated, you do not need a fastboot cable on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Just make sure that before you enter the command "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" that your Kindle is off and plug into the factory cable. Enter the command and wait for the message <wating for device>. Then turn on your kindle and you should boot into fastboot mode. If you see the fastboot screen on your kindle and Jem-PVT-Prod-04 in the command terminal, there is hope. The only problem I encountered is after each command, sometime it won't respond. So you might have to do one command, let it finish it's process. If the next one doesn't work, turn off the kindle enter "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" command. Turn on the kindle and proceed with the next command to restore your kindle.
The way the device is setup, it's very hard to completely ruin the device.

You are pretty much screwed. Sorry to tell you. You've flashed over the bootloader, the problem is with one that doesn't work. So your device won't even boot into fastboot no matter what you do. There was a way to do it on the original KF by removing the back and grounding the usb boot pad, then you could usbboot cmds to install the bootloader. But I'm not sure if it will work or ever been tested on this device. Good Luck, look on the bright side you can turn it into an extremely thin planter box, that still serves no purpose
well
I didnt read everything carefully but succeded in rooting my KHFD 8.9"
then i tried to install FFF using KFU and then it restarted and i couldnt power it on

Do you have a factory cable?
If you don't you can order one from skorpn
or you can make one if you know how to solder
Once you have it, it's easy to deal with your problem

The factory cable is a little different. But, you may not need one.
Turn your device off and enter the following command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
When you see "waiting for device" turn your KFHD on and that should put it in fastboot mode. In fastboot, you will be able to restore a stock "system.img" and repair your device.

He has a KFHD 7" and he chose the correct restore option, What makes you say that?!
It is okay, Don't panic.
But you really need a fastboot/factory cable now, Once you have it,
Let us try something a little different, You now have 3 .img files in you backup folder in C:\KFFirstAide\backup, Correct?
Take those files outside the folder now they are in C:\KFFirstAide
Hold down Shift and right click anywhere in the folder
Choose Open command window here
Turn off your device and then connect the fastboot cable, The device should power up and then fastboot logo is displayed
Copy and paste these commands in the command prompt window
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
Should say
sending...
okay (time)
writing...
okay (time)
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img

...but, I've rarely seen this situation turn out for the better.
It was never actually confirmed what Kindle Fire HD he is using.
I've flashed my system.img dozens of times and I've never seen anything like he's describing. From what I've seen, and considering the system.img was sent, we're looking at two possible scenarios; there was a malfunction in prokenexxusa's software OR user error played a part in the the resulting outcome.
Of the two, it's generally safe to assume the latter.

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.

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

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...

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
Hi,
I moved into a new house yesterday and when un packing I found an Amazon Kindle Fire HD that was basically left behind I went to plug it in to my phone charger Micro USB and it began too boot up but then stopped at the Fastboot logo with Kindle Fire under it. Ive never had a Kindle Fire before so not really sure what to do tried connecting it to my Laptop but nothing shows up i.e installs etc. I don't know if it would be bricked or a software fault and tried Power and Volume Up and Down to see if there is a recovery system but they isn't.
I hope one of you guys can help
Thanks
It doesn't show up at all on the device manager with a triangle next to it listed as Tate,jem, otter,or otter 2 does it?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
when i plug my kindle in the pc it does show tate-pvt-08 in device manager and the kindle is stuck in fastboot mode.. any advice?
Right click the device, hit update drivers, download the drivers in my signature, and extract them, point the update device window to where you extracted my drivers and let it install them, if you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first. Once the drivers are installed I would suggest trying a simple
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
that might kick it out of fastboot. Tell me how it goes.

tried the driver but now in device manager the kindle has that yellow triangle and fastboot is stuck on waiting for device
Yellow triangle probably means the driver is still not installed...

Hello! First of all, i'm kind of a noob as far as kindle development issues concern, but i managed to install custom roms before (in fact, my brick problema began when i tried to upgrade to CM11 from goo.im). I am really desperate right now because i followed all the instructions in several threads but nothing helped me so far.
Here is my situation:
My kindle fire hd 7" is stuck at Fastboot mode after my failed attempt to upgrade from CM10.1 to CM11. My computer recognizes it as Tate-PVT-08 but it's not accepting any fastboot commands, except for "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot". When i run this command, my kindle actually "reboots" but goes into fatboot mode again and again. When in "cmd", it doesn't recognize the devices either, but when run command "getvar" shows Tate-PVT-08. In conclusión, i want to know if there is a problema with the instalation of cmd in my PC, or if you can recommend any tool to restore my Tablet, even if it means going back to stock OS.
Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Are you using a fastboot cord? If so that's why. Use that command and then pull the cord from the computer as soon as it restarts.

Thank you for taking your time to help me out, appreciate it.
I changed the cord because i realized that i'm already in fastboot mode, so don't need fastboot cable. When i run the command, the Kindle boot logo lasts for few more senconds than with fastboot cable, but still goes into fastboot mode again. Also tried pushing all posible buttons (At blue kindle ffire logo) to reach recovery mode but failed. I'm using Kindle Fire First Aide but doesn't seems to work either.
Any toughts? Thank you.

If you see the blue TWRP there may be hope without a doing a factory reset. Press the power button for 30 seconds and power down the KFHD7. Now hit power to turn the Kindle on and as soon as you see the yellow Kindle boot animation hold the volume rocker up and continue to hold it there until until you see the blue TWRP boot animation and continue pressing for three seconds, then release. Do you boot into TWRP? If you see the blue TWRP boot animation you should have it.

If you can get into TWRP that might be to your advantage because you can adb.sideload a ROM onto TWRP flash it and go on with it from there. KFFA has been down off and on. It was once a great tool but it needs updated and the Drop Box account associated with it is down at the momnent.

Mr LinearEquation, thank you so much for your advice.
Following a different thread i managed to boot into TWRP by flashing images of "Freedom Boot" and TWRP itself via fastboot commands. Now in theory i can flash a .zip of any ROM but the thing is that i cannot load zips to the Tablet. even though it's recognized now as KINDLE instead of Tate-PVT-08 in the Device Manager, i'm not able to see the kindle as a Pop-up window where you can drag-and-drop files to the Tablet.
The question is: How do i push a ROM via adb as you mentioned in your previous message? Do you know which file do i need and the proper command to push it?
Kindly Regards.

Help! Mine was stuck in fastboot. When I hit the power button it boots up automatically in fastboot with any device attached to it. Then after a few sec it goes off.

Have you looked at this page? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 Maybe the unbricked section (part 6 of first page) can help in particular the SRT tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 . I have also noticed if you scroll down to troubleshooting section on the first page of first link it lists your problem and the steps to resolve it

Thank you for the reply. Well, my first problem is the kindle doesn't stay on fastboot. It shuts down after a second.

Hi I locked mine up also and used a program called
Demo Mode Restore. Basically you shut off your kindle and unplug the charge/data cable run the program and click enter once then says plug you kindle in and when it boots the program catches it before it starts up and all you have to do is follow the directions and when it restarts its like when you first took it out of the box
You`ll have to do a search for Demo Mode Restore
Hope this help. God Bless )

Ok, so I was tampering with my kindle around January this year and I *thought* I was deleting a rom system, but only found out I deleted the system.img. I know i'm an idiot, but I finally got a fastboot cable which came yesterday. Everytime I turn on the Kindle it shows the Kindle Fire logo and just keeps blinking and going into a boot loop, and just winds up turning off after 5-10 minutes. I've tried plugging in the fastboot cable(with the Kindle of course), and when i type ADB devices and fastboot devices nothing shows up or it says waiting for device. I have the drivers installed and everything, but it just doesn't show up! It's making me frustrated and i've been googling for solutions but none of them have helped. My computer OS is Windows 8.1, and i've been using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...-kfhd-img-restore-tool-updated-links-t2948036 to help me.
When you plug in the cable does the same screen show fastboot? You do have the Kindle with the front camera and hdmi out, correct?
