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.

Hey, so I rooted my Kindle Fire Hd 7' using the QemuRoot method following these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049288 I did so successfully after installing all the drivers necessary. Using these set of instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329 After step 7 I encountered my problem.
I can turn on my Kindle but after the Kindle fire logo flashes on the screen for about 15 seconds the screen blanks out and remains blank. The kindle is still on but the screen is just blank. My computer recognizes the kindle when it is plugged in but it is no longer under Kindle fire adb composite but rather other devices kindle with a yellow error stating that the drivers are not installed.
If possible I would like to try to hold off on purchasing a factory cable until I need to.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I didn't think I would mess up my kindle just by moving some files around root.

Interesting. Unfortunately, unless you can get adb working again so you can send commands to the device, it looks like the factory cable is your only option.

I figured that much, Thanks for responding so quickly.
My brother gave me a kindle fire hd 7" that stopped working one day while their 5 year old son was using it. It is stuck on the kindle fire logo screen. It has never been rooted.
I have tried a hard reset with no change. I have also made a factory cable and got it to display fastboot logo.
I have installed the ADB driver and I can query the device and get it to return "tate-xxx-xxx".
When I attempt to use any of the recovery tools the computer hangs at the "daemon started successfully" screen which I believe is due to the fact that ADB is not enabled on the device.
Is there anyway to enable ADB on the device without the ability to navigate the UI? I feel like I'm caught in a catch 22 here.
Please Help!

There are a lot more people on here with better knowledge than I have but I think it may be worth contracting Amazon to see if they will repair or replace it for you. Good luck.

Hello, everyone!
Yesterday I tried to flash CM10 in my kindle fire (already running CM9).
I followed the Cyanogen Mod site (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_otter) instructions.
I downloaded Kindle fire utility 0.9.9 (from CM site), and started the process of updating TWRP. At some point of the installation, KFU rebooted my device in fastboot mode, and kept waiting an awnser from Kindle.
It was taking a bit too long, so I restarted the tablet. Now it keeps on the "Kindle Fire" screen forever, and don't respond to ADB anymore (the "adb device" command don't return anything).
I believe it is not bricked yet, because when we connect it to the PC, it does that connection sound. However, I can't reach it with ADB anymore.
Can Anyone give me an advice for this situation?
Thanks a lot !!
You got very lucky, kindle fire utility is not meant for second generation devices, usually using it results in a hard brick. The correct way to update twrp is to grab the latest version's flashable zip from the dev section for your device and flash it from inside twrp and reboot. If you no longer have the blue logo and it is a 7" device you will need a fastboot cable, if you do have a blue logo or this is a 8.9" device you won't need a fastboot cable to fix, but you still need to get it into fastboot mode to reflash some partitions back to stock to fix this unless you get a blue logo in which case you could probably just flash the recovery but from what you said I'm assuming you don't get the blue logo anymore. And only the 8.9" models tend to be detected briefly while passing the bootloader.

In fact, my Kindle fire is a 1st generation one! I had already used KFU to flash CM9 on it (before, it had stock OS) .
Do this fact help in any form?
And, about the cable, I will search one imediatly!!
Thanks for your reply!
O well then this is the wrong device forum on xda... If its a kf1 then I think fastboot cable will still apply to this. Not positive, kf1's aren't my specialty, while my mother has one I never did much beyond rooting and installing twrp. Flashed a Ubuntu touch preview os on it once but that's about it.

Hey all,
I am in quite a conundrum. My Kindle Fire HD 7" tate device is bricked. Let me explain what I have done so far...
1. I first installed TWRP using the standard and I was planning to install CM 11 on it
2. I accidentally deleted the CM 11 rom files while doing a wipe on TWRP
3. Tried side-loading the rom but somehow ADB sideload didn't work and the device was not being recognized and sideload would hang for hang (tried waiting as long as 1 hour)
4. Then I tried to reinstall FireOS using the KFDH System.img Restore tool from the forums here and managed to somehow uninstall TWRP and get it into a infinite logo loop
5. So tried using various methods to reinstall either TWRP or FireOS and after some 3-4 different utilities that I found on the forums here, I finally tried Kindle Fire Utilitiy 0.9.9 to unbrick it. Tried changing the bootmode to recovery (5000) and have managed to brick it for good.
We are now in the present day (after step #5). As soon as I turn on the Kindle, it shows KF orange logo and then switches to Fastboot mode even though the Factory USB cable is not plugged in. Once I plug it in, it goes into infinite loop with screen going off and windows giving me a constant USB plug-in and un-plug sound. The device is being detected as OMAP 4440 (or 4400?) and I am unable to do anything at all. Have I gone to no-man's land? Or can I still salvage the kindle?
Looking for some help... Any help :crying:
You should plug in the fb cable with the Kindle powered off. See if that gives you a stable fb state wherein you can push your files via adb.

Hey when I plug it in to the fb cable it boots up into the orange and white kindle fire logo and goes into fastboot and then starts re-loading in windows. After plugging in, if I shutdown the device by pressing power button for 15 seconds, the re-loading in windows stops but after than adb doesn't recognise the device - says error no device
"reloading in windows"? What do you mean? It should be powered down when you plug it in, then when it boots into fb mode, you're ready to adb.
OMAP 4400 is a hard brick. You flashed KFU and now the bootloader is screwed. You will need to look up how to flash the emmc on here.

I know this thread is a little old but, if anyone is looking for how to get there hard bricked kindle fire HD 7" Tate recovered do a search for: TOPIC # t2828906 by overlode
On page 4 of the thread I have posted a procedure.

Hello. I am having trouble with my first gen Kindle Fire HD. About two weeks ago it flipped itself into Fastboot mode and has stubbornly refused to kick back out of it since then. I have researched and tried many methods, but I am not a hardcore tech guy.
Here are the details and what I have tried so far:
- This kindle had a stock operating system and was never rooted
- I have tried holding the power button down for 20 seconds (and longer)
- I installed Android studio and the Kindle fire drivers. Attempted to reboot it using the command line tools. System refuses to give its serial number when queried using Adb devices command even after using the android update/kill-server/start-server commands. Accepts the reboot command, but does not leave fastboot when it reboots.
- Bought a factory cable, tried the above method again. Did not work. Same results.
- Downloaded Qemuroot program. Program fails to execute properly every time.
- Tried the Kindle Fire HD restore tools. Computer sometimes claims it is pushing the files to the kindle, but then nothing changes. Tried all available options except wiping user data and cache.
- Tried uninstalling the Kindle drivers and reinstalling just to see if there was an error there. Didn't work, but my computer does identify it as a Kindle Fire instead of as a Tate-PVT-08
I am at the end of my technical skills and what I can learn via google and internet forums. Since it's not completely bricked, just stubbornly indifferent, I thought maybe the good folks here might have some more options for me to try.
Any advice or help will be most appreciated.
Thank you!
Bumping this because I still need help...
yeah got the same issue here as well

I was told today that it is completely bricked and that it is a manufacturing issue. Sadly, it is two years old, so I doubt Amazon will be very cooperative about fixing it.
