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

Hello guys, i need a lot of yours help!
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.
Thanks
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 admit, I got totally confused with all the multiple threads (this, this, this) on installing a second bootloader on the various Fire devices.
Somewhere along the line I ended up on the KFire2 thread and flashed that device's bootloader on my Kindle Fire HD 7.
Result? It's now a brick - no power, no boot, doesn't respond to charging, no response when connected to computer.
Is there anything that can be done to recover the device, or is it just good enough to be sold for "parts" on eBay?
Please advice.
If its within your 1 year warranty of purchasing it then amazon should send you a free replacement if you tell them it won't turn on. Otherwise I'd take a look at @kurohyou's thread in the kf2 section, it should work with a kfhd, but he has to map the contacts to the emmc out first.

Thank you @stunts513.
I sent a PM to kurohyou to see if he can spare his time to help.
Btw, I keep reading posts about a "shorting trick" but I can't seem to locate the thread. If you know where the thread is, would you mind posting it here for me please ?
Thanks a ton!
EDIT: Do you think, if I buy a new board off eBay and replace the bricked board on my device, I'd be able to have a working KFHD7? They seem to be selling for around 45$-65$ so it's not cheap, but still cheaper than a new tablet.
Nothing definite to replace drivers on the KFHD7, yet. If it's within warranty you will be fine. All Amazon checks for is physical damage and sends it back to China.

It already is out of warranty
Shorting trick doesn't work on 2nd gen devices because there's a file we need that has to be signed and pushed to the device and only amazon has it so the short trick is useless without that signed file.

Excuse me for my n00bness, but if I replace the bricked motherboard with a working one, I get a working tablet, correct ?
Appreciate your patience!
Um it should I think, hardware is all the same on the same model from what I know, as long as you make sure u buy a working mobo then it should work.

update?
Any update? Has OP purchased a new motherboard to get this to work? I have (stupidly) made the same mistake and, as you stated, my kindle is completely unresponsive (no power, flashing screen, nothing - not even with a fastboot cable).
Any update/help would be greatly appreciated.
A little late to the party here, but... I finally had a chance to reply to urover's PM today. Also, I had another person contact me about fixing KFHD7s... I made both the offer (and make it in general to everyone) that if someone could supply a KFHD7 that they do not expect to get back (specifically, finding a cheap broken one on ebay; only requirement is that the motherboard isn't grossly damaged), I'd be willing to do the work to trace where to solder to access the EMMC. After that, it's just a matter of actually soldering some wires and reflashing the bootloader.
My Kindle Fire HD 7" has been stuck in bootloop for about a year and a half now. I have tried like half of the solutions on this site and still no dice. I really need a tablet to use for my studies at school but I don't have the bank to go and buy a new one. Please help.
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.

Looking at getting a cheap tablet just for home automation control.
The Fire HD 8 looks like a good option but would like to get it to a clean Android experience since I wont be using any of the Amazon stuff ... thoughts?
You will need one that is rootable then.
See other threads for which that applies.

Probably best to stay away from current gen Fire devices. Of those being sold today only the HD 10 is rootable. No custom ROMs are available for that model as of this writing. You'd probably do better with an inexpensive phone that can be bootloader unlocked. No need to active it. Moto E4 is an excellent example. Some variants can be had for ~$40 USD. You'd need to do some homework as some carrier branded models can not be rooted and/or unlocked.
Another option is an older gen Fire. Most 2nd gen devices can be unlocked and rooted. Early 5th gen 7" Fires can be rooted provided FireOS was never advanced past 5.3.2. Finally, all 3rd gen HDX models can be unlocked/rooted but do not make the best platform for automation/connectivity.
Good luck.
"Early 5th gen 7" Fires can be rooted provided FireOS was never advanced past 5.3.2"
This include Fire Kindle? or are they the same thing?

"Fire Kindle" is too generic to provide a meaningful response. Unless referring to a 1st gen Fire which sometimes went under that name. Definitely do not want one of those.

So what's the question? Reread the thread you started along with responses. If that's not clear you should probably stay away from custom solutions and just go with what Amazon offers to the general public.

I am looking to buy one that I can load Gapps on so that I can install URC Total Control 2.0 and Lutron Home+ and Sonos.
Just want to make sure that one that I purchase I will be able to follow this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/development/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool-root-t3272695

You can load GApps on virtually any modern Fire - rooted or not. If that's the sole requirement suggest going with a reconditioned HD 8 from Amazon Warehouse.
