My friend gave me his kindle fire so I can try to fix it, and I'm pretty sure he corrupted the boot partition because it won't even go into fast boot mode with a factory cable. Is there any way to fix it, or will he just have to get rid of it?

Hey i have had my kindle fire rooted for a very long time recently i tried to install a 2nd bootloader and TWRP following the instructions on the site..... I used KF First Aid and went through the options. The kindle went into fastboot mode and then cut out and when it rebooted i was presented with a screen saying: Kindle Fire System Recovery.... Your kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot. Resetting your kindle to Factory Defaults may help you to fix this issue. Reboot Your Kindle or Reset to factory defaults.
I have tried resetting to factory defaults i have tried using KF First Aid to restore backup images how ever my computer no longer picks up the kindle not as an adb device or fastboot device when ever i reboot it would show the original kindle fire logo (white and orange) then the screen goes black the logo reappears with this "Kindle Fire System Recovery.... Your kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot. Resetting your kindle to Factory Defaults may help you to fix this issue. Reboot Your Kindle or Reset to factory defaults."
Can someone please help me as to how to correct or reverse the damage i have done?
Do you own a fast boot cable? I think that would be your next step...

History:
1. I successfully rooted my Kindle Fire HD a month ago. Two days back when I tried to install Nova launcher, something got screwed up, and
it got stuck in the nova luncher loop, after a hard reset it got stuck at yellow kindle fire logo.
2. I tried to correct it via KindleFireFirstAide utility via option 3. Completely restore KFHD 7 7.2.3 <fastboot>
Everything was going fine until my internet got disconnected during the system.bin download.
Now it is stuck at Kindle fire system recovery, which comes after a kindle fire(yellow) then kindle fire(blue) logo.
Reboot your kindle
Reset to factory defaults, wont help and keep repeating after every boot up.
Moreover, neither windows nor ubuntu live detecting the kindle usb connection ( no ding sound, no device manger information)
I think the usb utility in kindle is gone.
How can I get the kindle working back again?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Is it stuck there or can you pick an option because I would save myself the grief and just reset it.
Fixed Via $2 factory cable
Good news,
I got a samsung chinese usb cable, done the factory cable tweak and connected it with kindle.
And TADA!!! got into fastmode, restored from backup via KindleFireFirstAide utility.
NOw its running the stock operating system.
ok so I am extremely new to this, I rooted my kindle and that worked fine. I then used fire flash to get twrp in is and it booted into the TWRP recovery mode with no problem. I didnt have any ROMS on it yet just wanted to make sure it would boot into TWRP. So I tried to reboot the kindle and it was stuck in bootloop. I plugged in my factory fastboot cable and put it in fast beet. It is detected in my device manager as an adb device. I used KF first aid to try to restore it and now I am getting a red triangle saying kindle fire system restore. neither of the 2 options work though. When it boots it is the normal kindle orange and then goes to the blue logo then it gives me the triangle. Is there anything I can do to fix it.
Um I would put it in fast boot and restore the system image, I haven't used kffirstaide before, but if that's the screen im thinking of its asking you to either do a reset or boot normally, and neither are working so something it probably wrong with the system partition. So look try look for something about doing a system image restore if u can in kffirstaid. That's best I can guess at for now.

Ok, don’t know there to Start. I tried to install a custom rom on my Kindle Fire HD7. I can’t remember any details what I did back ago, cuz I just wanted to wait for my factory cable in hope everything will be ok then. So I have the cable now and its showing the fast boot logo. Also in my Device Manager stands Kindle Fire HD, so I think that’s a good thing. I installed everything, I have the Kindle Fire First Aide package and its running. I used the option to Completely Restore the Kindle Fire HD. It did something so now the status from my kindle is the Recovery Loop when I start it without any cable plugged in. I rly don’t now where to go from here on.
So sry for any mistakes in my Text.
A replay in German would be great but it’s not a must.
Thx in Forward

I'm finding it somewhat impossible to install a custom ROM on this currently useless device.
It is a Kindle Fire HD 7" (not the new HDX)

- Already tried it and the tablet goes into a bootloop once I restart, have to use factory cable to restore, apparently it doesn't work if your 7.30 or above

I tried this to downgrade it to 7.2.1 but once completed the tablet said it cant boot and has to do a restore, then it goes back to 7.30. There is a 7.2.3 option too but I never tried it.
I don't know what to do all I want is to get rid of this stupid crap rom but if I can't I'll just have to use a launcher... any ideas?
When you boot looped did the kindle fire logo turn blue?
The first link should work fine for installing twrp the issue with 7.3 is the boot loader and the entire reason you install the freedom boot part.
It should install twrp and at the same time most likely boot loop your device.
Just try using the key combo if twrp doesn't automatically load.
After installing twrp you need to already have a rom on your sd card and to immediately install it.
I would recommend to try the first link again.

Yessir I already tried it 2 times. First is when I first got my Kindle and had to wait a month for a fast boot cable. I tried again but still boot loops again on the Kindle Fire logo, really frusterating.

What version is your stock software? If you have the new refresh of the KFireHD (2013) then the 2nd bootloader exploit wont work for you.
