[Q] 7" Kindle Fire HD stuck on default home screen

Hi Everybody
I had a 7" kindle fire hd that was rooted but I was trying to get the latest google play installed with KF First Aide but for some reason it got messed up. Now it takes a long time to boot up and when it boots up, instead of going to the go launcher screen, it looks like it's going to the default Kindle home screen. I see the Shops, Games, Apps, Books, etc at the top with no images or anything at all.
I also see the Customer Also Bought at the bottom but no icons or images at all either. There's nothing else to click on. I tried to do the restore in KF First Aide but that didn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Anybody in the OC California area want to help? I would gladly pay for your time?
Or can this be done remotely? I would also gladly pay for your time.
I just want to get this to work again!
Thanks!!!

Boot into Recovery and do a factory reset. Assuming you know how to use ADB and fastboot, grab a .bin file of the 7.2.3 OS image from Hashcode in the development forum and flash.

How do I boot in Recovery and do a factory reset? Do I need the factory cable for that? I have one on the way.

Shutdown the Kindle, then power it on holding the Volume Up button. If that doesn't work, power the Kindle on, and THEN hold the Volume Up button. Either way, you should end up in a simple Amazon Recovery screen with you options, factory reset and reboot. Go ahead and do a factory reset. There are other ways to get into Recovery but only in-app, like from ROM Toolbox and such.
But before that, try a master reset first. This is much more simple. At any time when the Kindle is powered on, after it finishes booting, hold the Power button for 30 seconds, then release, and hit it again to power the tablet on. This master reset resolves many problems like crashes and freezes.

I tried the master reset but it still boots up to a sluggish kindle home screen with no icons or home button.
I tried the shutdown then power on with vol up button but that didn't work.
So I shutdown, turn on, then hold vol up button. I didnt get an amazon reset screen. I put me in safe mode?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!!

There's no safe mode, it's probably the fastboot screen, but you normally can't get into fastboot unless you use an app or if you have a factory cable (not the USB cable that came with the device).
Try shutting down, then booting holding BOTH Volume Up AND Volume Down and see if you can trigger Recovery that way. I know I have managed to enter Recovery once like that.

[Q] How do I turn it on into Recovery Mode?

Hi, I have just a simple question...
I just flashed my Kindle fire HD 7 with PARANOID Rom but the Play Store wasnt working so i reflashed it with gapps ... but it didnt solve the problem, so i did an factory reset, internal storage wipe, dalvik wipe and cache wipe, just in case.
Then I tried to reboot it, but it gets stuck at the blue kindle fire logo. I tried to reboot it into recovery mode with Volume up + Power button but it didnt work as it works in phones.
So my question is:
Is there any way to turn the kindle on into recovery mode without shutdown menu from the Paranoid rom??
Thanks!!
and sorry for my english (i would be glad if you correct my mistakes in order to improve it :fingers-crossed: )

Your English is just fine...actually better than some native speakers that I know of (ahem).
When you see the orange & white Kindle Fire logo, before it turns blue & white, hold the volume up button only (no power button).

Question
I am able to enter into recovery mod, but I cant flash it because I had wiped all the data and I dont have any rom in the files.
Is there any way to get the device recognice by the computer as a "USB storage" in order to copy the rom into the files in the "/SDCARD"?? I tried "mounting" from the Recovery menu but nothing happened ... Or is there any PC program like "Multiloader" to flash the device??
Thanks a lot!

kindle fire 5th gen, stuck in boot loop unless battery drained

kindle fire 5th gen, stuck in boot loop unless battery drained.
I am able to boot fine only if the battery becomes drained from the boot loop'ing and then i turn it back on. But after it boots fine into the fire os, if i do a reboot or power off, then power on again, it will go back into a boot loop. And, i can't even turn it off right now, it is jsut in a boot loop.
It seems strange that it still boots, but only in that condition. WHat could be wrong? if i flash a custom rom, would it fix it or what?
thanks

Your best best is to reload FireOS 5.1.2 from the stock recovery menu if you can access it. Long press power until the device shuts off. Then press and hold left volume button (one closest to head phone jack) immediately followed by power button. Hold both for 5-10 sec. If no response release both then try again. After 3-5 seconds the device should boot into recovery mode. From there you can attempt to reload FireOS 5.1.2 following the instructions in this guide/video: here.
If you can't access the recovery menu then your only other option is to request an exchange from Amazon if the device is still under warranty.

Maybe try a back to Stock.

Hold power down & Volume down (When the buttons are on top the left one)
Hold the vol down button until you are in the recovery.
use the vol buttons until you find the "apply update from ADB"
The go ahead and use "ADB Sideload ./../xxx.bin" (Drag the downloaded file (.Bin) To the Terminal/cmd)

Hi. It is running FireOS 5.0.0. I didn't flash it or do anything except root it, and then this is how i bought it used from ebay.

Well, that's a different story! Devices running 5.0.0-5.0.1 can boot twrp which greatly facilitates the installation of a custom rom which should eradicate the bootloop problem. You definitely do NOT want to upgrade FireOS beyond v5.0.1 as the device will permanently loose the ability to boot twrp. Such devices are sought and pretty rare.
On the road today so can't easily find/link relevant threads. Hopefully someone else will or I will update this post later.

hi. i just now installed the CM12, I was hesitant at first and wanted to take my time because i messed up a fire about a week ago, it was another fire 5th, but it had 5.0.12, and i think it was because i updated it and it was because i connected it to wifi, unike this one i didn't connect it to the internet before rooting and installing CM
i bought that fire off ebay used for 35 or less too.
so, now my fire works fine, and i can use it for extra stuff like reading.
thanks guys.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 Recovery Boot Loop

Hi There,
I bought my tablet yesterday off the internet and upon updating the software to the newest Amazon it is now stuck in the Fire System Recovery when I click either "Reboot your Fire" or "Reset to Factory Defaults" it just keeps restarting to the same screen. Ive been reading online and some people are saying it has been Soft Bricked. I have the original Amazon Charger with it but when I plug it into the computer it recognizes it at first but then doesnt when booting to the recovery screen.
Would really like to get my tablet working, any ideas?
Thanks

When booting up your Fire, hold down the volume down.
Look for a way to reset your Fire (Something like "Factory Reset" or "Firmware Restore")
Press the Powerbutton to select.
Scroll down to Yes
Your Fire will now reset.
Recommendations)
Use RootJunky's SuperTool to block OTA updates OR install flashfire and flash a custom ROM
PS: NEVER LET YOUR FIRE UPDATE FIRMWARE!!!

Fire 7 shows blank screen when it boots??

Hello. So a while back I got a Fire 7 5th Gen tablet for Christmas. I rooted it using KingRoot downloaded from Chrome, then one day I was so stupid, you know how many places tell you to not install TWRP. Well, I did it anyway, and while booting to it, it shut off for a couple days. When I was finally able to get it back on, well on first hand, I don't think it's in a bootloop, but it will show amazon, the fire goes on longer that normal (about a minute), then after that's done it just shows a blank screen with only a tad bit of light with it. Please, help. I also have a Fire HD 7 that I can't get past the password because I accidentally erased the keyboard and it won't pop up and another fire 7 that will show amazon, shuts off, shows amazon, cuts off, and continues in the same sequence. Any ideas?

Restore the newest firmware.

hi! I have the same problem when my unrooted fire 5th gen suddenly froze and I got black screen, how do i do this?

I'll look for the link after this initial posting and add it after. Download the proper firmware and place the .zip into the same folder as platform-tools (the folder you use to use ADB.) Follow the steps below first, to possibly resolve issues before flashing firmware.
1) power down device. If you can't, press the power button and hold until device turns off.
2) When it's off, first press the volume down button and hold it, then press and hold the power button until the recovery screen comes up.
4) Scroll to 'wipe cache partition.' Select it with the power button. You won't lose any user data or files, yet.
5) Select reboot.
6) If problem is still there, follow steps 1-2 again.
7) Scroll to factory reset and select with power button. You WILL lose all user data and files.
8) Wipe cache partition again (I do this often if I go through resets).
9) Select reboot.
10) If problem STILL persists...Repeat steps one and two. Plug in tablet to PC. Select "make an update vis ADB" or something similar.
11) type: adb sideload xxx.zip (x being the firmware file).
12) That should do it assuming your device is recoverable.

It doesn't pop up on the computer whenever a plug it in + i can't boot it into recovery, attempting to do so will cut it off and it will cut back on.

See this thread..
If I recall, I don't think a notice pops up when you plug it in in recovery/fastboot. Try plugging it in and let it get a full charge from a wall outlet. Then try to power it back on into recovery while it is still plugged in. Don't plug it into your PC until you get past the recovery screen and select add update from adb. You might have to do that a few times. I had a similar problem on my XT907 phone where it would reboot every time I got into the recovery screen and I eventually was quick enough to get into fastboot to do what I needed.

I would wait and see if anyone else comments. I have not yet had the unfortunate experience of being totally cut off from recovery. Sorry I couldn't help

I've even tried talking Amazon to giving me a replacement. I'm pretty sure his name was Ajit and he said I was off the 90 day warranty, so sadly I don't even know what to do. I did learn something though. Whilst trying to boot it into recovery it becomes stuck on the Amazon logo. What if it's in recovery, but just not showing any recovery screen. This is all I know what I can do??

So m
So my theory is that there is access to recovery, but when you're in it, it only shows Amazon until you force it off. Could this possibly help anyone fix their own fire 7 5th gen. Because if you find out anything hit me with it. It could be helpful to others reading this post.

There is no recourse if you can not access the 'stock' recovery environment. The persistent Amazon logo simply indicates the device is stuck in the early stages of booting. Sorry for your loss.
