Factory cables don't work with this device. There have been reports of exceptionally long power button holds (5+ min) yielding some life. Rarely does that produce a functioning device; just a different 'look'. Not much else can be done aside from replacing mother/daughter boards which can still present a challenge depending on the condition/state of the replacement parts which are typically harvested from other devices. Sorry for the bad news ...

[Q] KFHD will not Unbrick with SKORPN Cable

Hi, I have 2 bricked KFHD's 7" after trying to Root them, I have just received my SKORPN Factory Cable, followed the instructions as sent by the man himself and nothing, any ideas????? I was under the impression that the battery does not need to be charged and that connection would put the Kindles into Fastboot to allow me to flash the devices, I am at a loss as to what to do, i know my ADB drivers are installed correctly as it shows in Device Manager on my PC when I connect my wifes' KFHD.
Please Help - failing my efforts does anyone know of anyone who repairs these devices?

Other than "bricked", what state are the devices in? Better yet...What were the instructions that Skorpn gave you?
Both Kindles are totally unresponsive, have tried previous Factory cables but no use. I bought the SKORPN cable as it has such good reviews and the instructions are as follows, sent with the cable;
1) Turn OFF the Kindle Fire and wait 30 seconds or so, (mine don't even turn on so no problem there).
2) First, plug the USB Micro-B end into the Kindle Fire.
3) Then plug the standard Type-A end into the computer.
4) Profit...
Exactly as typed on the accompanying paperwork.

Totally unresponsive, how? Unresponsive as in...there is nothing on the display and nothing happens when you press the power button? Do you mean that kind of "totally unresponsive"?
Exactly that, nothing happens with the power button pressed, nothing on the screen
Your device is lost, unfortunately. What exactly did you do to it before this happened?
Just tried rooting them, all seemed to be going well until the reboot process and they never turned on again - never mind, off to the bin they go - cheers for your help

Yet another "Kindle fire utility" Victim!
I'll assume you used kindle fire utility since this is the only tool that tries to install a 2nd bootloader along with root (flashing the wrong bootloader is the only thing that causes a device to not even power up), What you need to do now is contact amazon and send it back to them they'll most likely give you a replacement!
Or you can send it to prokennexusa At

[Q] Kindle F.HD 7-doesn't boot and win won't recognize device

Hi Guys,
So a few months ago I was trying to update to CM10 and when I was with TWRP i stupidly pressed wipe all instead of just flash as it was required at that time. I ended up deleting EVERYTHING or so it seams. Kindle won't even show any logos, screens, nothing, key combinations do nothing and when I connect it to any PC the PC "goes crazy" with it, the sound windows make when a USB device is connected and when you disconnet one? it constat, like it connects/disconnects/connects/disconnects/ and so on. I get a message that windows cannot recongize the device.
My guts tell me I absolutely wiped everything even twrp and now its a blank piece of hardware. is there a way to come back from this??
Appreciate any helpo I could get (and yes, regular users should not mess with stuff lie this. i know. )
Thanks, Charlie.
Do you have a fastboot cable? You will need to get into fastboot and flash a full restore.

Unfortunately I don't, and customs in my country won't let almost anything go through if I buy it online. If there is still hope to recover it I will try and have a friend buy one when abroad.
Once I get my hands on said cable what will it do and what would the next steps be?
Thanks a lot for replying @Red_81!
You can make one yourself if you're handy. Check out the SRT tool for how to do a full restore

[Q] MemoPad 7 Me173x Bricked

Hello to everyone. I have in my possession an Asus Memopad 7 Me173x as the title suggest. It was given to me from a friend to recover it but it seems harder than I figured. Usb debugging mode is not enabled, it cannot go to recovery - when I boot it into recovery it shows me a dead android with a red triangle. I have tried flashing it with numerous different roms using SP Flash Tool, getting all sorts of errors, get past one stumble upon another one. I Installed Linux on my desktop pc to try and flash recovery using fastboot, I added the proper text for the android rules file, but I'm getting the "waiting a device" error. The tablet isnt hardly bricked, like it doesnt turn on. Actually the thing is it boots to android, an error pops, the tablet restarts over and over. When I power it on once, I have to take it apart and remove the battery, because it cant turn off, just keeps rebooting. I thought if I could flash custom recovery and use an sd card to install stock rom using the recovery it should fix. The bootloader is locked, usb debugging isnt checked and the tablet doesnt boot properly. Any guidance towards fixing it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I'm also new to linux, but kind of getting along.
I did a google research if there is a way to enable usb debugging if the tablet is bricked, but sadly I did not find anything.

Kindle fire won't boot after firmware recovery.

Hello guys I think I have bricked my device. I had successfully installed CM 12.1 but couldn't install google play store. It was firmware 5.1.1. So I decided to install os original firmware v5.1.1 using Rootjunky videos. How to Firmware Restore or Unbrick your Amazon Fire 5th gen Tablet. I successfully loaded the firmware ( Install from the ADB complete )but in the end I screwed up. I didn't remove the cable before pressing reboot system now(in recovery mode). Now tablet won't boot up. Now connected to pc some software installs and I hear disconnecting/reconnecting tone, few seconds interval. In device manager ,other devices it shows MT65xx Preloader with yellow icon. Please help if there is any hope. Many Thanks.

I can't even boot it up. I tried pressing low volume + power button / all kinda combinations. When connect to pc it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting in 3-4 sec gap. There is no fire/device in device manager. Installed all softwares . Before bricked device everything worked fine. I can't reach to recovery option. All these solution works after that process.
At 7:35 on this video of Rootjunky - { How to Firmware Restore or Unbrick your Amazon Fire 5th gen Tablet} I was supposed to plug out the cable and press reboot button. I didn't remove the cable just pressed the button and from there device don't start. I don't see any logo ,the screen is just switched off. The only movement I see when I plug it to the pc. The reconnect/Disconnect tone from pc I think it's in Loop. I hope you guys understand now how exactly I bricked it. Previously I installed the CM 12.1 successfully and it was smooth and fast.
Before this solution, on other devices I had MT65XX PRELOADER option with yellow icon. It stays for a few sec then disappears and this process repeat itself.. After updated drivers ( disabling driver signature on windows 10) now there is no fire device in device manager but connect /disconnect tone is there.

If stock recovery is not accessible via <power>+<vol-up> the device can not be recovered.
Any solution?

Device is unrecoverable if it can not boot into stock recovery mode by pressing two outside buttons from a cold start.
Same issue here. Any work around
Unfortunately I seem to have made the same mistake... Isn't it possible to buy a "Factory Fastboot Cable" and get it back to life that way?
Same problem here... instead of wiping cache and rebooting I pressed "Shut down" and it wont turn on again... it doesn't even activate screen. Nothing at all. How can it be recovered? There must be a solution out there!

So in the last days I bricked my z2 pro by closing the bootloader with a custom installed, and to solve the problem I put it in EDL mode and I used the flash mi, but now when I press the power button it just vibrates and flashes a green Led, but it does not turn on, I already tried several combinations of buttons to get into fastboot and nothing, and when I plugged the usb into the pc it shows nothing
