Kindle Fire HD 7 stuck at blue/white logo screen - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Okay, so long story short my mother has been using this Kindle Fire HD 7 with CM10? on it for awhile. Very recently it started to become sluggish and I offered to take a look. We decided that she should go back to the stock OS as she literally uses it only to play Scrabble and to read an occasional book and that's where things get weird...
It does/did have TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed, however whenever I would mount the device to my computer (Windows 10) it would never show up as a drive.
Then I decided to wipe it...and now, I cannot get passed the Kindle Fire blue/white logo
I have installed Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9 and when connected it gives me an ADB Status of Online and a Boot Status: Unknown
I'm really just at a loss on what to do at this point...I have installed the drivers that came with the Kindle Fire Utility and my device manager does show Kindle when it's plugged in.
Thanks in advance!

If you can post into recovery . you could adb push some ROM and flash it using the recovery. You might have wiped the system off I suppose???

I'm about 99% sure I did wipe the system. How do I boot the device into recovery? I tried a few different methods and haven't been able.

well simulataneously clicking the hardware buttons did the work for me ???

[Q] stuck kindle fire hd

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.

I got a fastboot cable but the kindle shows as Tate PVT and the update driver box is greyed out. Cant get fastboot or adb to recognise the device.
Is there anyway to recover from this
Thanks

You have TWRP installed, right? Does your Kindle Fire logo turn blue while booting?

If you have twrp installed and the blue kindle boot screen just hit volume down and use the side load feature. But if your fastboot is giving u a problem where u can't hit update driver I would assume it would be because windows is already searching for one still? If so tell windows to skip obtaining from windows update and it finish sooner so u can try to update it manually.

Hi Baconrind. Screwing one’s device is a good opportunity to learn new things. At least this is what happened to me and I’m glad I did. A couple of months ago I bought a new KFHD7. I spend "wonderful :laugh:" weeks as the happy owner of a KFHD7 until I started to discover the shortcomings of same, so I started reading xda-developers’ stuff to try to customise the device. First I rooted it to be able to install Google Play Store. The idea was to stay as close to stock as possible. Unfortunately I lost root with the first Amazon OTA update, then I decided to install a second bootloader, TWRP, etc. To do that I followed Hashcode’s method Kindle Fire 2nd-bootloader + TWRP for the Kindle Fire HD 7 but at some point I bricked :crying: my device. I was stuck at the Kindle Fire logo. I spent hours browsing through xda-developers and discovered that the first thing to do was to get a fastboot cable. I did not have the patience to wait for it to come from China or wherever they make them, so I found a couple of posts on the xda forum here and here. I made my own even my soldering capabilities are quite limited. I shut down the KFHD7 and plugged the “fastboot” cable to the PC and then to the Kindle, a couple of seconds later I could see the fastboot logo. Once I saw the fastboot logo I unplugged it and used the regular data transfer cable instead. Before I started the unbricking process proper I downloaded and installed this tool: KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5.-7.3. I followed the onscreen indications and could reset my KFHD7 back to its original state. Good luck.

[Q] KINDLE FIRE HD stuck on TWRP v2.6.0.0 and recogniced in adb mode on pc

Hi, I am very new and I really need some help I was trying to install a custom rom but something went wrong.
Waht I did was.
I first rooted my device,
then I installed the second bootloader TWRP
And I forgot the wifi on, so thw kindle fire HD updated itself and eliminate the super user app.
So I restored the kindle fire hd to ist default in the restore option in the main manu.
then I root it again,
and try to instal the second boot loader again,
but after I installed the second boot loader it never boots up into the kindle fire hd system,
what happends is, in turns on, appears the kinfle fire letter in orange, the aperars kinfle fire letters is blue, then kinfle fire letters in orange again, whit a animation, that use to appear when is about lo load the system, then it reboots itself and repeate the entire process but this time goes into the TWRP second boot loader.
I think I could fix it by just using the backuo files I made o I coul install the custom room I want from there, but the problem is that I cannot load any file to the kindle fire hd because when I connect it the pc it shows as ADB device. Please help me out with this. I would like to you help to restore it to stock or tell how can I transfer files to my kindle fire hd when is in TWRP mode.
I already tried the mount option on the TWRP but the pc does not recognized it as a portabla device where I can store files.
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
If you're in twrp, you can sideload your rom from the advanced menu, as long as your device is recognised as adb.

[Q] Stuck on Kindle Fire Bootloop

This is my 1st time asking for help since I really have never needed it. I got a kindle fire HD 7" and rooted it. I added TWRP and a 2nd bootloader. For a long time I was stuck in TWRP and every time I tried to reboot it would just go back to TWRP. This morning I tried using the Kindle fire utility and selected option one. It seemed like it worked. I then rebooted and now I am stuck on the Kindle Fire boot screen. It shows Kindle fire on the screen, goes black for a few seconds, then back to the kindle fire, then goes black again. It keeps doing this over and over again. I am not able to get back into TWRP now. I am not sure what to do at this point. I have read just about every thread out there and cannot find a similar situation to mine. Any guidence would be appreciated.
OK mistake number one, do not use kindle fire utility on a kfhd, you could easily hard brick the kindle. That was designed for first gen it's and they work a bit differently than yours. OK now that I got that out of the way, does your kindle still have the logo turn blue?

Thanks for the quick reponse. When I installed the 2nd bootloader and TWRP I got into the bootloop. At that time when it would bootloop it would go from orange to blue twice before going back to TWRP again. After I made the mistake of using the Kindle FIre utility it now just keeps on the kindle fire start-up screen and it is always orange.
You are either going to need a fastboot cable to fix or have some luck getting a command to work... If you open the device manager, and plug your kindle in while its off, does a Tate device show up for a few seconds? If so try updating the drivers on the Tate device to the ones in my signature. From there you should be able to use a fastboot command to get the kindle to boot into fastboot. The command would be "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", but if your not seeing a Tate device then this command will be useless, and I don't wanna finish explaining how to use this command until I know your PC is detecting it, assuming you don't know how to use the fastboot command by itself from a command prompt since I don't know your skill level with android stuff and windows command prompt stuff.

Thanks again for replying. I would say my experience level is low when it comes to command prompts. I get the basics though. I will check when I get home if I see if a Tate device shows up when I connect with my usb and get back to you. Even when I was in TWRP I was having difficulty seeing my device on the computer to add a custom rom to the sd card. I tried sideloading and tried mounting the sd card but nothing worked. I wish now I would have just left it in TWRP and did some more research. Live and learn I guess. I will let you know what I find out. Thanks again.
Ok. I turned off the Kindle and then attached the USB to the computer. Nothing is being recognized. I see now too that my adb interface is also gone. It appears the computer is no longer picking up anything. When I attach the Kindle to the computer it starts the bootloop again flashing the kindle fire screen over and over again. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again.
I think your only hope is a fast boot cable, and honestly or just depends how broke it is whether it works or not

Thanks for the reply. So let's say I get a factory cable and I can get into fastboot mode; what are my next steps?

Ok. I wanted to clarify what I did to get in the situation that I am in. I rooted my device with no issues. I then decided to install a 2nd bootloader and TWRP. After all was done my Kindle Fire HD 7" booted to TWRP. I could not get my computer to show my device so I was stuck. Every time I would reboot it would flash kindle fire in orange, then in Blue, then in Orange, the in Blue then would go back to TWRP. I then put the device with the USB attached to my computer and from TWRP I put the device into fastboot mode. I then used the KFHD SRT v1.3.5 tool and opened the SR.Tool.bat and chose option 1. After it was done I rebooted and now I am stuck on the Kindle fire screen (in orange) and it will show for a few seconds, turn off, then go back to the kindle fire screen again (in orange) and just keep repeating. I ordered a factory cable to try to get back to fastboot mode but since it did not work for me the 1st time I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for me. Thanks in advance.
Are you sure it is a factory/fastboot cable? I would either get them from skorn or proxenusa since I know they are reliable.

Hello again. I don't have the factory cable yet; I just ordered it yesterday. When I used the fastboot mode the last time I entered the mode from TWRP and was connected to my computer with a regular usb charger. When it was in fastboot mode I selected the option 1 from the tool I mentioned in my previous post. I am just wondering if the fastboot did not work with the KFHD tool I used because I did not have a factory cable connected hence why I am stuck on the Kindle fire screen. What do you think?
No, typically it is said to use a fastboot cable just to get the device into fastboot, then plug the normal cable in afterward.

For future reference, when you get your kindle back up and running again, you need to flash a custom ROM to boot. The TWRP boot loop stems from trying to boot into stock ROM, it won't work. So just put a ROM on your kindle before you flash bootloader + twrp next time.

[Q] Kindle Fire is stuck in Logo after reinstalling TWRP

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.
