I rooted my kindle fire HD and trying install TWRP to change rom with this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398603 and my kindle died after reboot i doing the hard reset and made a factory cable to try recovery and didnt work.
I need help to try another solution because i living in Brazil and here dont selling this device. i diont have option to contact amazon to repare or something like that.

You're screwed. Like every other brick owner here.. You flashed an unsigned boot loader to a secured partition.
That recovery belongs to the first generation kindle fire.
Your only option is to return the device to Amazon

We should really pin a warning at the bootloader flashing stuff... too many bricks.

Agreed, and I know it sounds harsh, but people need to read and make sure they are looking at the forum for their device. Too many people are using tools for other types of Kindle.
Best option is to contact Amazon to see what they can do. They ate used to people taking their Kindles abroad, and I think they have a worldwide warranty?

There is no way... the device's hardware has security mechanism to prevent executing from an unisgned bootloader.
Yeah, you got an expensive paper weight now, welcome to the club. I was thinking about getting a kindle fire 2 with a cracked screen and switching it.
Hey guys, I rooted my kindle fire HD 8.9 inch and I attempted to get TWRP (or however you spell it) on there and it told me there would be a high risk of failure but I decided to take the risk and I bricked my Kindle because it would only stay on the darn boot up logo without going any further. I read these forums and people who bricked their device were immediately told to return their product or to use it as a paper weight and I was upset there wasn't anything I could do about it. However, I got it to fix because when I plugged in (I would say a standard) usb cable connected to my kindle into my computer, it recognized the device and I immediately put it into fastboot and recovered it. It ended up coming back to life. Now I'm not saying it's suddenly possible for everyone and I maybe I didn't brick it after all, but if I did and I managed to get it working again then I think people should keep trying to fix their device (nothing to drastic) and see what happens as time progresses. In other words, don't give up so easily...

The people who end up with a device that doesn't power on, doesn't charge and isn't recognised by the PC or doesn't respond to a fastboot cable have no recovery options.
Maybe in 6 months someone will find a way, but it is highly unlikely.

I read somewhere it could be possible to unblock hard brick KFHD2 by soldering a flash drive to the motherboard. Is this possible on the KFHD7?
Theoretically yes, but we haven't mapped out the pins yet because it involves most likely sacrificing a kindle fire because we have to actually pull the emmc off the motherboard to figure out which pins go where. Also it uses a usb sdcard reader not a flash drive so to speak. Kurohyou is working on it though.

Anything on this yet? I have a new brick myself. I liked the idea of buying a cracked screen one... Lol
I just received my new kindle fire hd few hours ago .I rooted it according to this tutorial (link: rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-convert-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet/) and everything went smoothly. However, after Step 20 of the tutorial which is enter command 'fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot', my kindle just shutted off completely and it never response since then. I have tried to hold the power button 30 seconds but nothing happens. It just seems that my kindle is completely dead. What should I do or what can I even do? :crying::crying::crying:
If it won't even turn on its hard bricked. If this was the replacement kindle I doubt u can claim it was DOA, however we have a method to fix hard bricks now sort of, it is dessigned for the kf2 but should work on the other kf's, however he is asking for someone with a dead kfhd8.9 inch, he might be interested in a 7 inch model as well, you should contact him. Lemme send u a link to his thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391047

Hi,
I rooted my KFHD 7 using the Bin4ry method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351201).
Then I used Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9 to install TWRP and FireFireFire. (now that I think of it, I think I did also chose option 4: install latest COTR Recovery) before I chose to install FFF.
Both steps seemed to go smoothly, except after KFU rebooted my Kindle, the screen won't come on at all. I hold the power bottom for 20-30 sec, or for 2-3 mins, but nothing happens. I have the factory wire adapter from teambalckhat.info. I was able to boot the Kindle into fastboot mode before all these, but now nothing happens no matter what I do.
These are the steps that I did:
- Installed latest JDK 7
- Installed Android SDK and updated and installed the updates
- Removed all old amazon, kindle, android ADB drivers
- Installed the amazon drivers (with the Kindle unplugged)
- I put Kindle in ADB mode and plugged it in using regular USB
- I rooted it using Bin4ry method and there was SU on my Kindle after this was done.
- I started KFU 0.9.9, chose options 3, then 4, then 5 (install TWRP recovery, install COTR recovery, install FFF)
- Then, the device rebooted into a brick!
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can tell me what to do. I searched all over the forums but didn't find an answer.
Thank you so much in advance!
Fire fire fire is for the first gen kindle. you have a serious problem now that currently can't be fixed. You flashed the boot loader for a wrong device now it can't even begin to boot. There is a thread in the kf2 forum that shows promise that one day this will be fixable though

Actually good news, we just have our first complete fix in that thread. Its a kf2, but it should work on the kfhd with the knowhow, a steady hand, and a soldering iron. Or you can send it to kurohyou so he can make a bolt-on solderless PCB for the kfhd 7". He is currently making one for the kf2, but has no kindles of other models to make the PCB fit onto the kindles motherboard for reference. But if its still under warranty see if Amazon will replace it first.

Thanks for the replies.
Would Amazon know that I did this? and if they would know, do they care?
They probably know you did this, they are usually forgiving the first time around, some people don't think its right to send it in in this condition, though personally if they say they cover it then its 200$ less out of my pocket the way I see it. I don't know if it matters what you tell them, but you might be able to go with "it won't turn on after it updated" or tell the truth its up to you.

All Amazon asks for warranty questions is 1) Any water damage known? 2) Has it ever been dropped 3) Are there any cracks in the screen. The tablet don't turn on and that's all that has to be said. You'll get another one in a couple days from them. In reality, there is no lie perpetuated. They don't ask if you have tried to fool with the hardware, root etc.
I'm not OK with lying to get a new one but from what I hear, you don't have to. I'm sure Amazon knows people are fooling with their tablets. If they were concerned with this being a reason to not get a replacement, it would be easy to add that as one of the warranty questions. As of a week ago, it was not.
Today my fire stick just boots to the amazon logo and does not boot up. I tried a different TV and same problem. I been trying to do searches on this and have not found anything, all I'm finding is things for do with the amazon fire TV box, I can't find anything for the amazon fire stick.
Yeah this is just for the 2015 tablet.
try http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv it does cover the stick too

Okay, thank you
Hey guys! Newly registered account, although i've been checkin this site out for quite awhile. But anyways, I have a Kindle Fire 5th Gen(2015) and a Kindle Fire 7th Gen(2017). The 2015 is already rooted and was all set up to my liking. But i think i broke the LCD on it because all I see is a bunch of gray/white lines and sometimes some color. The 7th gen came with an OS that was beyond being rooted, and from what I read, if i try to roll back, i will brick the kindle. Now i noticed the screen in the 7th gen is just a tiny bit bigger then the 5th gen. I was wondering if it is possible to take everything out of the 5th gen(motherboard and all except for screen) and put it into the 7th gen, just to use the screen. I know the buttons are moved, but I thought there would be some way without having to order a new LCD for the 2015. Does anyone think this might be possible? Or do you guys think the 7th gen screen would fit into the shell of the 5th gen? Thanks guys! sorry for the wall of text!

If you have a 7in Fire...not HD, or Kindle, just the 'Fire 7', you can downgrade from 5.6.0.0 to as low as 5.3.2.1. You won't be able to root, but you can uninstall/disable system apps. Check your account on Amazon and look at your device list to see the what type of 7in you have. If just the plain old 'Fire 7,' you can follow this guide to download And remove system apps.
