[HELP] Kindle Fire HD7 2012 TATE - Bricked - Not Charging - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, all
I’m a newbie he and I extremely need your support and sorry if I’m starting threat in wrong place. I have my Kindle Fire HD7 2012 TATE bricked during installing a custom ROM. I’ve searched everything but had no chance to find the similar issue solution described.
First I had it stuck on a Kindle Fire logo after rebooting from TWRP after flashing stock ROM again (probably was some problem with a bootmode). Device stopped on Kindle Fire logo and has no reaction. Then I’ve got a factory cable and was able to enter the fastboot and tried change the bootmode with KindleFire Utility and something gone wrong. KF turned off and just sometimes turns on and goes to fastboot (even with ordinary usb cable) just for couple seconds and turns off again. When I connect KF to PC it tries to connect and I hear connect and disconnect USB devise sound constantly. PC even tries to install some drivers for some reason (actually I have KF drivers and ABD installed properly as I it checked with another Kindle).
The second reason is that the the battery is low, as I haven’t charged it for some time and I’m not sure it was charging while was connected when stuck a KF logo. Kindle don't power on and not charging from USB our wall outlett (tried different cables/
Does anyone has any idea? Please help!!!! I will really appreciate any support and thanks to all of you in advance.

[Q] Unbrick Kindle Fire HD with Rekindle-0.1

Can the Kindle Fire HD be unbricked using Rekindle-01, if so where do i short out the USB on the motherboard as the pics online do not help as they are for the Kindle Fire motherboard
what's the issue??? Does anything happen when you press the power button? Plus you might need a factory cable to get it working again.

I rooted the Kindle Fire HD with KFU 0.9.6, all went okay until it tried rebooting into recovery as part of the process and it hasn't turned on since ie nothing comes on the screen.
I have a Factory Cable but that isn't putting Kindle into Fastboot, ADB isn't seeing the device so am now trying via Rekindle via Ubuntu/Linux, this requires the USB to be shorted out to jump start the port but i don't know which connection on the motherboard to short out as the only pic online is for the KF not KFHD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405052
I believe it should only be soft bricked but can get no response from it so any help would be great.
The Kindle Fire Unbricker is useless, it even tells me my Kindle is now unbricked even when it is not plugged in. My ADB drivers are fine and i even had the SDK installed with all various drivers it brings to the party.
Sorry if i sound such a noob but i have done various PSP's, Wii's, iTouch, fixed Laptops etc but this has me totally screwed

First of all the tools/utilities you are using are for first gen KF, so that is why it bricked your device and why the other does not work. You need to flash a backup through fastboot. As for getting into fastboot , which device do you have? 7 or 8.9? On 7" power off the device, plug into pc with factory cable. If you have 8.9 you have to power off, use a fastboot cmd then power on while pc is waiting for device. Look in the development section, it has all the info you need to unbrick. Do not try the tools you mentioned, there is no need to open the device up to do any of this.

Have you had any success?
A similar thing happened to me.
I have a factory cable that I got from [2012androidfans on ebay]. It doesn't seem to do anything. I get no response from the Kindle Fire HD. Windows detects nothing.
(I installed a bootloader meant for a first gen kindle. I was blindly following a guide to update android and wasn't thinking what I was doing. Restarted the Kindle HD 7". Nothing.)

Well, Add me to the list. This is the first device I have actually ever bricked. I already had the KFU utility installed and accidentally ran the wrong batch file Im thinking it overwrote the factory boot/recovery partitions. I have a factory cable and its not showing anything under device manager upon plugging it in. Ive held the power down for 30 seconds, then plugged it in, but nothing shows. The sucky part is that its not mine, its a coworkers...... frustrating. Is there a way to fix it at this point?
Edit,
Its an HD 8.9 Inch

FatedBoot,
The utility Rekindle is design for the original Kindle only. If you are looking to restore you Kindle HD 7, Kindle HD 8.9 or the Kindle 2 you may use our utility that takes about 3 to 5 minutes to restore the Kindle. Here is a link to Kindle Fire First Aide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
If you would like information about making your own Factory USB Cable, the information can be found here on Post Number 164: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37187390&postcount=164
This pictures to solder the board are for the original Kindle not the new Kindles. Finally, you do NOT want to solder the board on these models since every time you plug in to change the device, it will boot into Fastboot.
We have full site and phone support, so if you find yourself stuck, just post a question or if you have a serious problem, give us a call.

pyraxiate,
Sounds like you are well versed in this topic. You are correct, the boot and recovery partitions need to be recovered.
You have several choices to recover the device, you may use onemeila tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126
OR
Our tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
They both accomplish the same task in the end. There are known Bootloader issues with the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" so if you find yourself in an endless boot-loop, read our posts on how to recover the loop. Our tool automated the Boot-loop recovery. You will receive solid support on either tool.
I bricked the kindle fire hd 7in while trying to flash the newest android to it (used wrong bootloader). Anyway, when I start the kindle, it shows the first white/orange kindle fire logo, then it crashes to a black screen. When I plug in the factory cable, it shows the kindle fire logo and then goes to a logo that actually says "fastboot" with "kindle fire" under that, but then nothing happens. The device is not recognized by adb, but it has before, because i rooted it earlier. I can't get any unbricking utilities to work because the computer won't recognize it. How do I get my kindle to be recognized so that I can at least restore it?

Well you apparently didn't succeed in flashing the bootloader. It seems like you just installed an unsigned kernel so you are in better shape than most. Try Onemelia's system restore tool to see if that works. If not, you may have to restore the stock recovery as well.

I literally just solved this problem yesterday, you need to first plug your your factory cable into the pc using a working Kindle. That way the necessary driver, not the amazon adb driver, can be installed. Then plug it into your broken Kindle, it should now boot into fastboot.

I have a similar problem. I opened the kindle and made a connection from the usb-boot pin to ground.
No it shows up as
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0451:d010 Texas Instruments, Inc.
for a few seconds when I plug in the factory cable.
But how to go on from that point?

If you are dealing with a kf2 or higher then don't bother doing this as it won't work. We would need a aboot signed by amazon and we dont have it, without that we can't repair ours kindles this way, this only works on kf1. Though there is a method that you can recover a hard bricked kindle from involving soldering a usb sdcard reader to the emmc of a kindle. Btw plz start a thread next time, this was a big bump.

[Q] Kindle Fire went from red screen to Hard bricked after following XDA advice

I have a Friends Kindle Fire that their child somehow "red screened" I bought the fastboot cable from amazon and came here for advice on how to un-brick it. found this Thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2304584
and followed the instructions fully. Cmd window said finished, I unplugged it from the kindle, pressed the power button to power down and reboot pressed the power button again and NOTHING! plugged the fastboot cord in and nothing, plugged charger into wall and nothing, tried running that otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin again and cmd box says waiting on device. device is unresponsive in every single way. I have all of the drivers installed correctly because everything went good the first time. but now, Nothing, nada, zip, zilch! what can I do if my pc cant even communicate with it? was I instructed to install something wrong for my tablet? what happened?
If it was a kindle fire HD (tate) and you flashed a kindle fire 2 (otter2) bootloader then yes you hard bricked it, the bootloader aren't cross compatible on kindle devices. You will have to do some soldering to fix it.

[Q] Unable to recover kindle fire hd

I recently installed the wrong boot loader on my Kindle Fire HD 7" (2012). I got the red screen, after doing a lot of research on the forums I obtained a fast boot cable and installed KFFA to attempt to recover it. When I plug the device in using the fastboot cable it comes to the fast boot screen but on my pc it says device not recognized and in the device manager it shows error 43. I rebooted my computer and everything, reinstalled the kindle drivers but nothing seems to work. I even tried another computer thinking it could be my usb port but I got the same error. I tried to test to see if the device was in fast boot mode from another utility and it just sits at "waiting for device". I've tried to connect the fast boot cable and the connect the regular usb cable in after the device was in fast boot mode. I'm not sure what the issue is, the kindle fire seems to respond to being plugged into the computer but the computer does not recognize it. Please help.

I also had Red Screen on my KFHD 7" and need some help. I made a factory cable today and when I plug it in it goes to Fastboot screen. I running Win7 64 and have installed Java SDK and Android SDK and I also installed adb usb drivers from Kindle Fire Utility. However device manager shows it under Other Devices as Tate-PVT-08 and when running KF SRT it just shows "waiting for device" and never changes. I have verified that adb_usb.ini has 0x1949. I've been at this for some time now and I don't know what else to try. I think it may be permanently bricked. I appreciate any suggestions.

SUCCESS! I was finally able to fix my RSOD. Here is what I did.
1. Opened up Android Studio and SDK Manager.
2. Selected Tools and Manage Add-on Sites.
3 Select User Defined Sites tab and click New and enter.... Sorry, I'm a new user and not allowed to post URL's yet. Search for "Amazon Setting Up Your Development Environment" and url will be under "Installing the Amazon Fire TV SDK Add-on" section.
4. Then scroll down in Manager window and expand Extras then select and install Amazon Kindle Fire USB Driver packages.
5. Connect Kindle with factory cable and open Device Manager, right click on Tate-PVT-08 and select Update Driver.
6. Browse Computer for driver, and select Let Me Pick..., then scroll down and you should now have Kindle Driver available (I didn't have this before).
7. Select Android Composite ADB Interface.
8. Run SR Tool and I had to first select 1 to Restore-Factory Rooted with SuperSU.apk, kept fingers crossed and it finished. (But still had RSOD)
9. Then ran SR Tool again and select 3 for Restore-Factory Recover.
10. Disconnect and cycle power to Kindle and was prompted with a screen saying there was a booting problem and had to Reset to Factory defaults. After that it booted up as new!!!

USB Fastboot "shorting trick" for KFHD7 (tate)

Seems to be multiple posts regarding 1st gen Kindles coming back to life using the USB shorting trick to get the device into fastboot. Can anyone share an image of a kindle fire hd 7 (2012 -tate) and details on how to make it work for this version?
I have a 2012 HD7 that I believe I hosed up the bootloader trying to fix it! When I turn it on, it shows the orange Kindle Fire logo for about 4 secs and then the screen goes dark. Then it just keeps looping this. USB port doesn't seem to be recognizing the device at all, in Windows10 or Ubuntu LiveUSB. Struggling with ideas to get this to a recognizable state again.
ANY ideas would be welcome. Thanks!
Bruh I'm having the same issue as well. I installed the Magisk app and installed the Magisksu v14.0 it installed within the app and said it has updated the boot.img
But to sum it up that seems to be the same issue which I am having as well. Even had to make a thread about it because I don't know what to do at this point
