Fastboot Drivers/Access

So I'm sending in my Kindle HD7 for a replacement, and I'd like to revert it back to stock. However, for some reason I can't get fastboot commands to work. It was working just fine the day before
I have root, version 7.3.0 stock ROM, and Hashcode's bootloader on my device. ADB works fine. Plugging in the factory cable boots the HD7 into fastboot mode, but commands aren't going through.
Things I've tried or attempted (along with searching the forums :silly:
- Reinstall Kindle drivers
- Reinstalled SDK and such
- Attempted to use SoupKit (though I gave up since I had a hard time adjusting with the Ubuntu interface)
- Kindle Restore Tool (hangs on waiting device)
- KFFirstAide (hangs on waiting device)
- Manual flashing via command prompt (hangs on waiting device)
I know this problem usually comes about because the drivers aren't correctly installed. I did notice that when in fastboot mode, device manager shows a triangle for "'tate-pvt-08". At this point however, I have no idea how to approach this problem.
Seems like I am either left with getting fastboot to work so I can flash to stock, or somehow use TWRP to flash back to stock (but it won't wipe out the 2nd bootloader?).
Any help is much appreciated!

Well I was able to restore to stock using TWRP.
All I had to do was download the 7.2.3 bin file from Amazon and flash it using TWRP. Doing this removed bootloader, twrp, root, as well as restored the device to stock.
It was an obvious solution...just took me a while to realize it lol
I do still wonder what was happening with my fastboot drivers/access though...

Closed as per OP request.

[Q] [KHDF] always booting TWRP

HI,
I am sorry to bother the xdadevelopers community but I have tried to root the KIndle Fire HD 7" I offered to my mom for her birthday a week ago and i can't work around a problem :'(
I successfully installed Team Win Recovery Project. But anytime I boot i get into recovey (even when not pressing any button).
I hace searched the web for the last 3 days but any of the solutions have worked so far:
- I have tried to use adb shell "idme bootmode 4000" buti get /sbin/sh: idme not found
- I have tried adb shell nbmode but with the same result
- The rest of the solutions were for linux users.
So the question is ... what to do from here ?
Thank you very very much for any sugestion

Well, if you can get into recovery, that's a good thing.
I had this problem a couple of days ago. I had tried to revert from Chameleon OS back to the stock OS by flashing Haschode's stock OS zip, which resulted in the issue you described. I fixed it by restoring from a back up of ChaOS o had made, and it got me out of TWRP.
You could try re-flashing Hashcode's stock OS (it comes pre-rooted). It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218475
To move it on to your SD card, go to "Advanced" in TWRP and select "ADB Sideload," or something to that effect. Then from your PC, use a command window and enter "adb sideload name\of\zip.zip"
I don't remember if you have to wipe anything or not before you flash it
Hope this helped

Lol same thing happened to me when I flashed TWRP and 2nd BL. So basically, your in a boot loop. Don't worry you didn't do anything wrong, its just that the stock Kindle OS now hates us because we modified something. So here's what's gonna need to be done. You have TWRP, your all set to flash anything you want! But, you have no custom rom in there correct? My same mistake. Those are all easy fixes, the problem is playing with the KFHD7 drivers on your computer to detect your device 100% while its connected and on TWRP. I can't remember how I got mine to detect it, if I'm not mistaking I unisntalled ALL associated drivers, then reinstalled the ones provided for the rooting process WITH THE DEVICE STILL CONNECTED, then manually updating the driver to those installed drivers in C:/Program Files/Amazon/Kindle Fire. Once its installed, you would need to check by opening a command prompt with ADB, then check for devices by typing "ADB getdevices" if I'm not mistaking and see if some serial numbers show up. Then push the files thru ADB. If you wanna cheat your way thru ADB cause you don't know how to use it properly, do what I used to do. Download the Nexus 7 toolkit, install it, go to the folder where installed and create a shortcut for "tkmain.exe" to your desktop. Then open that and a green text command looking menu is in your view. If serials appear on the top, device is detected thru TWRP. If not keep playing with installing the drivers while in TWRP and refresh the green menu by using option 27 (type 27, then hit enter). Once those serials show up, download the custom ROM you want your mom to have. I recommend CM10.1 as its a small file, stabler than CM10.2, and its basically jellybean. Remember the folder where the Nexus 7 Toolkit was installed, where I first mentioned to make a shortcut for tkmain? Go back to that folder and look for a folder called "put files to push here". Throw the ROM there. Rename the ROM something short and with few or no symbols. When that's done, your ready to push it. Go to the wonderful green menu thingy, type 13 and hit enter. Then it will have two options. Type 2, hit enter. It will ask if your using an insecure bla bla bla. Type yes, hit enter. Then it should show the name of the ROM you threw in the folder, type it out exactly as spelled, hit enter. Push to /sdcard/. Some crap will appear and say "remount failed: Success" ignore that, don't panic, that's good. For a while nothing will show, but afterwards words should appear confirming the push, and Two last questions your gonna type no to. Now your ready to bring moms new device back to life! If you know how to flash a rom, do it. If not, swipe to wipe dalvik cache in Wipe menu, go back, Install > search SD card for your file and flash. Tada! You should see CM logo after the blue Kindle Fire logo and wait til the screen dims more or less, that means your a few seconds away from getting to touch. Remember to start it up, then flash GAPPS so mom can have Google Play, I'm sure she's gonna love Candy Crush Saga as mine does.

Hi,
I have the same problem as AAron Belle, I think:
I followed the
"[REF] Installing Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd-Bootloader + TWRP Complete Tutorial" till step 3.
I wanted to stop at step3 after installing 2nd bootloader and TWRP, without installing any custom ROMS.
I succeeded in the sense I don't have any red screen and the Kindle Fire HD 7 boots in TWRP (Screen Kindle fire in orange, then in blue, then TWRP).
But I can't find a way to boot anymore in the stock system (amazon).
I try to use a factory cable, but without success.
I would like to keep the 2nd bootloader and TWRP that I just installed, and as a first step use them in the amazon environnment.
Is there something I can do (not too complicated, I'm a noob!) ?
Thank you in advance,
Jeanphi

You can use "adb sideload" or "adb push" from a command prompt while plugged into your kindle in twrp and put a new ROM on it, like stock amazon, kinology, cm 10.1 or 10.2, etc.

Try the solution I mentioned above you. I'm no rocket scientist, or an android expert, just picked up a thing or two from experience. If I can do it you can as well. That's why I mentioned the toolkit I used. It may be for the Nexus 7 but it does the same adb commands used for all androids for you. That way if your not an adb expert you can use that. As I said, your first goal is to get your computer to properly detect the device while in TWRP, your stock kindle OS is just doing what it does best when simple modifications are done.

If I put a new ROM containing stock amazon, will I have still on the Kindle the 2nd bootloader and TWRP ?

Depends on if the stock ROM is rooted, although usually, the answer is yes since messing around with things like overclocking and so on is always one of the reasons people seek to achieve root. If your going to flash this stock ROM, obviously only possible thru TWRP so yes you'll still have TWRP + 2nd BL. If your going to do the headachey fastboot restore, (not recommended at this point) then no. I've never gotten ADB sideload working, but either way I prefer pushing a rom to the internal SD and just installing.

Thank you for answers. I think I will my first attempt to flash a Rom, through TWRP.
I will use this following link from Hashcode
"This flash .zip file contains the Amazon OS 7.4.3 update + root/Superuser.apk and should have OTAs disabled. You can use this to revert back to the Amazon OS should you need to for any reason.

Nevertheless, before doing that I might try to understand and use your first answer, as my Amazon 7.4.6 must still be on the system and this is just a question of access to it.

Once you flash any, there is no recovering the last stock you had, in this case, 7.4.6. This is lost for all of us. Now I haven't yet researched if there is a way to completely revert back to stock (as in removing the TWRP, 2nd boot loader and any other mods), but if there were, that's the way to go back to 7.4.6. However, no matter what ROM you toss on your device, any objects you may have had saved to your SD are still found as long as you don't delete em thru twrp. Remember before tossing in a rom, in the Wipe section, just swipe to factory reset, then go back and Install the zip from your storage.

Coming back to give you some news.
I was not able to use the following link, as it was not on my Kindle and I was not able to have the kindle recognized by the computer.
"This flash .zip file contains the Amazon OS 7.4.3 update + root/Superuser.apk and should have OTAs disabled. You can use this to revert back to the Amazon OS should you need to for any reason."
I decided to use he backup I made and I used the following command, with the factory cable:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
It worked and I have a working device, but without TWRP, 2nd boot loader.
I suppose I could have flashed directly the Amazon OS System mentionned earlier, but I was not exactly sure which command to use.
So, I will to try again to install TWRP, 2nd bootloader.
Thank you very much for your help. I will read again your answers to try to use them in the future.

[Q] Bricked on Blue Logo

I've been using Unofficial CyanogenMod 10.2 for the Kindle Fire HD 7" since it first came out without any problems. Basically, I just upgrade it with TWRP every time Hashcode releases a new version....well it finally didn't work. His thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388341
I flashed the latest version, [11/15] BETA CM10.2 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL two days ago. It got stuck in boot so I rebooted successfully. I've been using it for 2 days now and finally rebooted. This time when I reboot, I get stuck on the Kindle Fire blue logo. I can't do anything from there. I can't get into TWRP.
What do I do?

Restore stock from fastboot, I believe with 2nd boot loader installed you can simply plug the device I to your PC after running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and it should goto fastboot and u can restore stock boot loader, recovery, and os from kffa and restart the process. I think people have had issues with this lately or at least something similar because of selinux being added to twrp and cm 11. Just a guess though.

Well, you have a couple options. If you're in fastboot then you can opt to to a full system restore. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254

I have kfhd7 and i updated it from cm12.1 to cm13 but after the reboot it is now stuck on white-blue "kindle fire" logo. everytime i reboot it shows the white-yellow logo and then gets stuck on the blue one. moreover, i cant get to twrp3 using keys as it gets stuck and device gets hot.

KINDLE FIRE HD ONLY!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
I put together this tool for those that have tried to modify their system unsuccessfully and bricked their device. You must be able to get your device into fastboot for this to work. The easiest way is to purchase a factory cable or make your own(a $15 purchase or a little bit of your time is better than a bricked device).
The .img's in this tool were made from a rooted device w/ the su binary in place. There is no need to re-root your device, however if you choose to erase cache and user data(not necessary but may be a good idea) you will need to re-install Superuser.apk to gain root.
Instructions:
1.) Download the version you want to use from the link below and unzip.
2.) Enable fastboot mode. Turn off your device then plug into your pc using a factory cable. If the device is recognized by adb then you can use this command:
Code:
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
3.) Run the SR Tool.bat and follow the instructions. If you wish to downgrade system versions see instructions at the bottom of the post.
Downloads:
KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0 (seperate option for restoring factory recovery)
KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0- 7.2.3 (separate option for restoring factory recovery)
KFHD_SRT_v1.2.3- 7.2.3
KFHD_SRT_v1.2- 7.2.1
KFHD_SRT_v1.0- 7.1.5
I apologize for the size of this tool. The .img files used are rather large. If you want to use your own backup .img then download the lastest version of this tool from here. Just place your system.img inside images folder. It must be named system for option 1 or system2 for option 2
UPDATES:
4/20/13
-separate option to restore factory recovery and boot now on v1.3.0
4/17/13
-KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5
-flashing boot and recovery images now a separate option
3/21/13
-KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0
-boot and recovery images inlcuded
-SuperSU and GoogleServicesFramework now included as system apk's
12/22/12
-KFHD_SRT_v1.2.3
-System v7.2.3
-New option for installing Googleservicesframework.apk
12/17/12
-downgrade method instructions(confirmed)
12/1/12
-KFHD_SRT_v1.2
-new system partition backups for software v7.2.1
-vending.apk to phonesky.apk for newest version of play store
Instructions for downgrading to 7.2.1:
1.) Download boot and recovery imgs(these are backus from 7.2.1) from this LINK and place in the folder where you have access to fastboot or inside the KFHD_SRTool_v1.2 folder
2.) Use KFHD_SRTool_v1.2 to flash system.img.
3.) Erase userdata and cache
4.) Open a cmd prompt from the folder where you placed the previously downloaded .img's.
Use these cmds:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
5- Reboot.
Those who deserve our thanks:
kinfauns for the how to on backing up and restoring system software.
bazm60 for confirming the method above works.
hellocali626 for bringing to my attention the need to flash boot and recovery images for downgrade.

Sounds like you need to install the correct drivers. Download and install the driver from this link:

My Kindle lost root.. So I downloaded and installed a super user... not sure what version off hand...
But its still not rooted.
I originally chose the option for the factory restore with root, Google Play Store, and the launcher.. And it was rooted for a couple of days.. I'm not sure if it lost root during reboot or not.
On a side note, it also no longer allows me to access storage through my PC. So I've been having to download everything straight to the Kindle.. Not sure if that matters... But I can't back it up because I can't save the backup files to my PC..
Any suggestions? Do I need to clear cache and dalvik for superuser to work? I've been hesitant to go into recovery mode..

Did it auto update to 7.5.1? That would explain why you lost root.

Yes! Can I downgrade? And how to stop the update?
Or better yet I'll poke around to see about rooting 7.5.1..
Its my son's, so while I've flashed my android devices a billion times, this Kindle is a whole other thing...sorry for the questions..

You can either downgrade and then block auto update (look for threads with otacerts) or root 7.5.1. I believe the binary method still works.

OK I was able to get it back to 7.3.0...and even flashed it twice and cleared cache and user data...
But now the wifi won't turn on. I tried to click on ...nothing..
Is there a wifi fix I'm unaware of?

Try pushing the recovery only to it.

Please help!

Kindle Fire HD 7" overhaul
I tried to post this as a reply to "how to downgrade kindle fire hd" thread but as I'm a newb here, I was redirected to this thread. So here it goes...
I have a 2012 Kindle Fire HD 7" serial starting with D025, running firmware 7.5.1. I successfully rooted the device with the bin4ry method thanks to all the helpful members here. I am interested in getting TWRP loaded as well as flashing maybe a Cyanogen ROM. I haven't looked into the ROM's too much as I'd like to get TWRP on first... baby steps haha... So I saw instructions for getting TWRP on devices with firmware up to 7.4.8 or somewhere around there but nothing higher. Next step is to downgrade the Kindle to an older firmware. I have ordered SkOrPn's Factory Cable, should be here in a day or 2.
So onto the questions:
1. In this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 I see a list of system.img files to downgrade to. Does it matter which one I choose if I am going to be flashing Cyanogen ROM?
2. My next steps are to follow the instructions on that thread by plugging in the cable, run the adb command, run the SR Tool, follow instructions, and then on the bottom of the original post in that thread, it gives instructions for downgrading to 7.2.1. I take it those directions apply for any of the versions downgrading to?
This is where I am kind of lost as to what I am supposed to do from here. I am not sure what the SR tool accomplishes or intends to accomplish and the Factory Cable seems to be most often used as an "unbricking" device. I am not bricked, just looking to downgrade so as to get TWRP and Cyanogen. If there is an easier way for me to get TWRP and Cyanogen running without the downgrade or all this hullabaloo then I would be delightfully surprised.
So any help would be much appreciated

I got a bootlooped kindle from someone and thought it was a KFHD 7'' it took me forever and quite a few attempts to fix and fails to discover it is a KFHD 7'' 2013 KFSOWI which it totally different. notable markings are no camera and angled edges on the back. also if you get to the point of running fastboot you will know as "getvar product" will return "soho-pvt-prod-07" instead of "tate-xxx-xxxx-xx"
i wanted to thank Red_81 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254&page=23 who pointed me to the Kindlesuite guys which led me to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685090&page=4 and the fantastic Firerooter tool it is super easy to use and does everything for you even has great help in it about updating the adb drivers etc.
just make sure you really have a 2013 KFSOWI version. i previously had it bootlooping, then red screen (when i used the KFHD SRT many times), and finally after trying Firerooter a couple of times got the dang thing working again. I ended up installing the 11.4.x then 11.3.x and wiping user data. I about fell out of my chair when I finally got a screen. So dont give up. I also had to get a fastboot cable.

I have bricked my Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd Gen. The device is stuck in what i would assume is a boot loop. I am wondering if someone can confirm if the KFHD SRT is compatible with my device and could possibly unbrick it. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I could not tell what versions the kindle were supported from the original thread.

Hi everybody
I've been running a rooted kindle fire hd for about a year with cyanogenmod and no problems. Tonight I downloaded the latest nightly update installed it with TWRP and re booted fine.
I kept getting google play services errors so decided to factory reset and clean everything up. Now I cannot get past the teamwin boot logo.
I see the orange kindlefire, blue kindlefire, then the teamwin logo flashes every 5 seconds.
Any ideas on how to recover this?
I posted this in standalone thread about a week ago, I've since bought a fastboot cable, which doesnt have any effect. I see Kindle fire on my PCs device manager so thinking there must be some sort of communication between the 2. Stuck with where to go now though. I know of at least 2 other people that have posted the same problem.
Regards
KP

Amazon tate, please help, I've proper ballsed it up :(

I had a tate running candy lollipop for years, my kids had it and got a new tablet yesterday. I took the old tate and upgraded to crdroid, full wipes, was running fine. Then, me being an idiot I tried flashing magisk which resulted in the tate not booting past the yellow/orange kindle fire logo.
I had crdroid 7.1.2 and twrp 3.0 installed, cant boot to recovery, cant boot at all. Fastboot hangs on <waiting for devices> and I know I have fastboot/adb/sdk/kindle drivers etc all installed but still nothing. I dont care if I have to flash it all back to fireOS or whatever, just want it working, I did have a factory cable from 4 years ago but cant find it, probably lost...
Is there anything I can do with normal usb cables? Or do I need to order a new cable? Any key combinations to try? any simple reset tools? KFFaide doesnt 'seem' to be of any use as its asking to choose option 15 but I dont have that many options, but that is all set up correctly with the paths etc...
Cheers.

I had this exact problem and solved it. For more context I would read some of the posts before it where I explain my problem (start with Feb 10).

Cheers mate, I had already got a cable ordered as I figured there was nothing I could do with any of these 20+ usb cables I must have lying around my house
I'll wait for that to turn up and go straight to just installing the freedom boot img, hopefully it all works as the crdroid rom was surprisingly good in the half hour I was using it.
Cheers again.

IT WORKED!!!!!

I literally did the exact same thing as you. Flashed crdroid, flashed magisk later without thinking, stuck on the boot loop, unable to get into twrp recovery.
Got a fastboot cable, able to get tablet into fastboot, and followed Devo7v's instructions from the other thread that was linked, and afterwards I'm still stuck bootlooping, no access to recovery. I've tried so many different things. Can anyone help?

Update: (sooner than I expected)
After almost giving up, came across the Ultimate Unbrick Utility on Tekify (don't have enough posts here to link directly, yet). I was able to use it to finally reset my Tate to factory settings with a fastboot cable, and correctly boot. It bootlooped once before booting correctly.

Sorry, I havent actually logged on here for ages so only just saw this.
Mine was just really simple, D/L these 2 files:
boot kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img
recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img
from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=34232
And placed on desktop, got SDK downloaded and installed from this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw
Kindle fire HD drivers from THIS link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890413
And rebooted PC, opened cmd prompt and entered: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Plugged in turned off kindle with the fastboot cable, cmd prompt acknowledged it was plugged in
entered: cd c:\users\ROBNEY\desktop
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img [enter]
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img [enter]
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot [REMOVE CABLE THE MICROSECOND THE FASTBOOT LOGO DISSAPEARS FROM KINDLE SCREEN]
Then you can reboot to twrp (hold power and volume up, let go of power when kindle logo turns blue)
