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.

Hi,
I know you should have seen this a lot but i'm kinda stuck, i tried to upgrade my Recovery TWRP with a new version with flashify but now my tablet is unusable.
It show the kindle fire (red logo, not blue) and restart over and over again...
I plugged it to my pc but i can't see it in my devices manager, like it never connect...so no ADB (no devices), i tried different drivers to be sure but it doesn't work.
I need help.
Thanks
So i made the mistake of factory resetting my kindle from within cm 12 and now teamwin keeps flashing. I have tried to solve using the sr tool but it always says waiting for device.I also tried to use the unbricking utility but it says idme not found and does nothing for the stuck at logo option. i have the kindle adb drivers installed and whenever the kindle goes into fastboot mode it never shows a menu. Also my computer is not recognizing the kindle, however when i plug it in i hea the noise as if it is being recognized. Also when i open the adb console and use adb devices it shows up as in recovery. Any help will be much appreciated.
Dear specialists from XDA:
I'm from Brazil, and I bought a Kindle Fire HD 7 (MODEL x43z80 'tate') with the last original Fire OS, and the Amazon universe don't have a lot of things in Brazil, so I decided to put a Cyanogenmod based on Marshmallow. My guide is the Tekify Channel, and I got it.
But, after a soft reset, because I want to give a gift to my wife, I have the TWRP bootloop issue.
After a 1 week from search in XDA and a lot of English tutorials in youtube, today I have the kindle in stucked in the 'Kindle Fire' logo bootloop.
So, I search here in XDA wha I have to do, and I stucked.
I don't have a fastboot cable, in Brazil Amazon sold just the basic kindle e-reader, and I want the Kindle Fire good again... :crying:
Someone help me? I try ALL the aplications here, like: KFHD unbrick, Kindle Fire 1st Aid, but I1m stucked in the Kindle Fire logo.
I can't access the ADB or Fastboot, because the computer don't recognize the KFHD, and I can't access the TWRP or any screen, I tried a lot of times the command POWER+VOL DOWN, but I return to the 'Kindle Fire' logo.
Thanks for the help.

From powered down condition, press power button, then hold POWER-UP, until blue fire logo appears and continue to hold for a couple of seconds, then release. It should go into TWRP. From there, ADB should work. If not, try powering up while connected to PC with USB cable. Hopefully it will boot into fastboot mode. I use linux because windows has too many problems with drivers.

hi,
i have Kindle Fire HD 7" after some issues i try to flashing, voip all data and delete backup etc, my WTRP V.2.7.8.0 changed to v.2.6.3.1 and stuck in kindle fire logo and not connected to pc or not show storage in my computer.
please help me and restore my kindle fire tate. thanks a lot (i am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)
Can you boot into TWRP? You need to update to at least V2.8.7.0. I'm running V3.0.0.0 but I can't find the download link anywhere. If you're in TWRP 2.6.3.1 try going the the boot menu and reboot to bootloader. This should put you in fastboot. Next, connect to PC via USB. Type fastboot devices to see if it's working. Now fastboot flash recovery /(path and filename to TWRP 2.8.7.0) Once you have the newer version installed, remove usb cable and reboot to twrp and make sure mtd is enabled in the mount menu. You sould be able to connect usb cable and drag and drop your chosen ROM and gapps into the internal storage where you can install them with TWRP.

Make sure USB 2.0 or less on PC port. Try a different cable. Try another Android device just to make sure everything works on the computer.

Thanks again to you
Kindle show in my laptop but connect see pics.
Try installing mtp USB many times but not successfully installing in my laptop.
you need a newer version of twrp. If fastboot won't work, I don't know how you can flash a new recovery or bootloader.
The last thing to try would be to update adb and fastboot from Google or the Ubuntu repositories. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
Try: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Try with root: sudo su
I have never used a fastboot cable. It hasn't been necessary but it may be in your case.
