If you're running Windows, install the Kindle drivers from this post. Also run the 15 second ADB installer found here, and answer Yes to the "install ADB & fastboot" and "install ADB system wide" questions, and no to the "install device drivers" question. Reboot when the installations are completed, then power off the kindle completely, type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product into a command prompt/terminal on your PC, and plug in the kindle when you see <waiting for device>. If you get a string beginning with "jem" or "tate", then fastboot is recognized. At this point, you should reflash the recovery image. Also type fastboot -i 0x1949 erase system and fastboot -i 0x1949 erase cache. Once those complete, type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot and try booting into recovery.

Thanks! It worked. Only problem is... It isn't flashing the firmware... And it bricked into a normal over and over "kindle fire" logo. ?

Try flashing the second bootloader, freedom-boot, and TWRP images again in fastboot. You should have fastboot access at some point, even if you have to completely turn it off, run fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product, and plug in the kindle when you see <waiting for device> to get it to boot into the bootloader.

It won't flash the boot images, just <waiting for device>
I have no OS, should I flash one and see if it helps?

Sure, but make sure you flash the 2nd bootloader via fastboot immediately after, or you may end up with a bricked device.

First off, you need to disable driver signature enforcement in order to install the Kindle drivers on Windows 10. Here's a tutorial to do just that. After you reboot, install the kindle drivers again, and perform another reboot when prompted.
Also, you can't flash .zip files via fastboot - that would be part of the reason as to why it's stuck. I suggest flashing TWRP, the second bootloader, and the freedom-boot image via fastboot first. Once those are complete, type fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery to reboot into TWRP, and then flash the CM ROM zip within TWRP.
Finally, make sure you include the -i 0x1949 parameter in all of your fastboot commands. This will ensure fastboot knows what device you're flashing.

@monster1612 thank you I will try that
@monster1612 also, the 7.2.3 uboot is a .bin. Will that work with fastboot? Or will I need it?

It looks like the fastboot flashing process isn't working because it's not being told where to flash each image. Go ahead and flash each of those files again as directed by Hashcode in this thread, under step 5. The flashing process should now succeed.
@monster1612 it flashed the uboot, freedomboot, and twrp ok, but the device is still in a bootloop. I even did it twice. What should I do?
@monster1612 now it wont even turn on. I tried fastboot 0x1949 erase system because i was just erasing everything and now it wont even turn on. Maybe it is just out of battery because Ive been at this for a couple of months....

I'd let it charge overnight. After that, try fastboot -i 0x1949 idme bootmode 4000 and then fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot. Does that quell the bootloop issue?
@monster1612 it has been plugged in for 45 minutes and isnt turning on. Could it be hard bricked?

That's odd - try holding the power button down for 10 seconds, then turn it on and see if it boots.

Has anyone had any success getting a factory cable to enable fastboot on the 8.9? I've had no luck. I'm thinking amazon locked out this method. It can still be accessed using adb but that doesn't help if you are in a boot-loop and can't get adb to recognize it.
What about using
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
that works for the fire to put it into fastboot, even when ADB does not see it.

Did you test?
It does put it into fastboot. I put it into fast boot and was able to take it back to normal boot.

adb reboot bootloader will take you into fastboot mode on the KF HD7, probably work on the 8.9 too.

Just to confirm, you had the power off to the device and plugged in a factory cable and the device booted into fastboot? Like I said I can get it to boot into fastboot through adb, but if the device ever gets into a loop i want to be able to get into fastboot via factory cable. Maybe my factory cable is not working properly, it was starting to act funny on the KFHD 7 but it would still work to get into fastboot.

Just tried this. Suprisingly it works. I thought that command was just used to get the product info. I had the device powered off, typed the command(says- "waiting for device") , and plugged the device in- voila fastboot mode.
Thank you.
Edit: Any fastboot command entered before the device is turned on will enable fastboot mode as soon as it is powered on.
I got verygreen's CM10 to build finally, however after running all of the adb commands (I'm at the first fastboot command) my device is stuck in "Kindle Fire System Recovery". I tried unplugging it and powering it off, but running fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product and plugging the device in will not boot into fastboot mode, just goes back into recovery. Factory reset gets about 1/5 done and then reboots back into recovery. ADB does not work either. Anyone know how to fix this?
So I was trying to install TWRP to my Kindle Fire HD7. I had successfully rooted and was using FireFlash to flash the bootloader.
When I pressed boot to recovery the device rebooted showed the kindle logo and then a red screen.
I tried making a fastboot cable but could not get the device to show up in ADB devices. Am I totally boned?
I have links to the directions I followed and a gif of the logo and red screen but I cannot post them since I'm new.
I had this issue also, I just made a fastboot cable, plugged it in and flashed stock files, I then rerooted, installed TWRP, 2ND bootloader, then CM11, finally with PAC-rom.

I can can agree with wire55. Have to have a fastboot cable to fix this. Reflashed stock then created my own personal port ROM.

I made a fastboot (by jumping pin 1 and 4 on a microusb) cable but it shows the device as disconnected in Device Manager.
Here is what it looks like when I turn it on i.imgur.com/TSUHsjW.gif
you dont use adb commands with fastboot mode, you use fastboot commands with fastboot mode. Try "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and see if it reports back. If it does all you will need to do is flash the older bootloader for your device first(check the md5sum plz so you don't hard brick), then restore with kffa or srt. Fireflash method should work fine now for sure once you have flashed the older bootloader.
concerning rdwidam
It says <waiting for device>
I will try again tomorrow, my friend is bringing over a fastboot cable that we know is working.
I'll report back if there is progress. Thanks.

ok that's good, if the command still doesn't respond after it says fastboot mode on the screen, then go to the device manager and look for a device with a yellow triangle next to it, once you find it download my drivers in my signature, extract them somewhere, and right click the device and hit update drivers, point it to where you extracted mine and let it install. If you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first.
OK, I got a fastboot cable but still no luck. Nothing shows up in device manager and no response to fastboot commands. I think I'm going to throw my self on the mercy of Amazon.

So the fastboot cable isn't throwing it into fastboot mode, it is staying at a red screen? You are positive the fastboot cable is a fastboot cable? And i have to ask this even though its stupid but you are positive it was a kindle fire hd 7 and not an 8.9"? The fastboot cables don't work on 8.9" models is why i'm asking, those will go into fastboot with the command i mentioned but its slightly more complicated than that, the device would show up for a brief moment then disappear when turned on.
It is possible our fastboot cable is not working. I will try another one today. I measured the kindle and the view-able screen is 7 inches diagonally, while the whole body including the bezel is 9 inches.

Ok, success! I got out my soldering iron and made a working fastboot cable. Now my kindle turns on and shows a fastboot logo on screen, and I have a device called Tate-PVT-08 in Device Manager. So I installed the android drivers to allow me to use fastboot commands. Then I used KFHD_SRT tools to restore the Recovery and Factory image.
Thank you everyone for all your help and knowledge. I was freaking out a bit, but all is well.
Hello guys, need your help. Today i tried to update my TWRP Recovery to new version. Unfortunately i downloaded not what i needed (i downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-blaze.img) and installed it via flashify app, then rebooted to check out my new Recovery but there was a bootloop with words "Fastboot Kindle Fire" on it, then i was trying to get it out from there by typing fastboot commands
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
but first one failed with FAILED<remote failure>, i started to panic and i flashed my old recovery .img via fastboot ( don't know why, don't ask :| ), then rebooted via fastboot reboot command, then same thing but even worse, now the fastboot logo lasts only 0.5 sec on the screen then black screen and PC can't recognize my KFHD7.
Please help don't know what to do :crying::crying::crying:

made it
Kindle Fire HD 7 1st gen
The title says it all. I was following this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409435
Followed everything it said.
It stated "If not, wipe all above except for your internal storage (/sdcard) and flash the zip file you downloaded earlier then afterwards, wipe your Internal Storage (/sdcard)."
I asked "Just to be completely clear, if I download the zip to my device, I wipe EVERYTHING BUT the internal storage, then I can flash it, and then wipe JUST the internal storage?"
Instead of waiting for an answer, I just did it. As you can imagine, I have a brick now. No TWRP, no recovery mode, just the static orange "Kindle Fire" logo forever. Nothing happens at all when plugging it into my pc, doesn't even recognize any device being plugged in. Called Amazon, and since it's past the one year warranty mark they won't replace it.
So, I guess I just need someone else to tell me that all is completely lost and there is nothing more I can do so I can move on and stop worrying about it and get some sleep.
That's completely fixable, you just need a fastboot cable to kick it into fastboot mode so you can reflash it. I recommend the blackhat adapter that hashcode mentions in his twrp + second bootloader tutorial.

Cool! Thanks for that. I was under the impression that since my pc didn't think anything was even being plugged in that a fastboot cable wouldn't work. I'll definitely try this out!

Well, got a fastboot cable. It origionally showed up in device manager as an unknown device "tate-pvt-08", so I installed the kindle hd adb drivers, and now it appears in the device manager as Kindle Fire - Android Composit ADB Interface, but when I use adb devices in the cmd window, it always returns "List of devices attached" followed by a blank line.
Tried adb kill-server, and android update adb, but so far no luck. almost seems like there's no device info left on my kindle. Any clue as to what I can do?
BTW, tried this on 2 pcs, first Windows 8, and then Vista
adb commands don't work with fastboot mode, only fastboot commands work with fastboot mode. Ex: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

That makes sense. Thanks for the help/patience.
Now at least I know what to do. I'm currently following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254&highlight=network+error and at the end of the download, I had a "network error" Currently trying to not scream and destroy things. Trying again from IE instead of chrome, but man <200 KB/sec dl speeds are going to drive me insane.....
If I take anything away from this experience, it's have the right tools, and always make backups.
I'm back in business in factory w/root. now I can sleep again.
