SOLVED
My cell phone is rooted already and i am trying to clear it through
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
I've downloaded the fastboot binary into my C:\android-sdk-windows\tools directory.
What do i need to do in command prompt to be able to run these lines
Many Thanks to onemeila for this tools. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254&nocache=1
after acquiring a KFHD 7 Demo from Ebay, i used the following procedure to install a stock ROM using a Linux desktop.
requires factory cable, android-tools.rpm, and KFHD SRT download.
to get fastboot binary you need to install android-tools from the EPEL software repository, for details see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
open a terminal command line window on the Linux desktop. $ is the bash prompt and shouldn't be entered as part of the command.
install android-tools.
$ sudo yum install android-tools
unzip KFHD SRT you downloaded.
$ unzip Downloads/KFHD_SRTv1.3.5.zip
before connecting the Kindle, enter the following command.
$ fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
should show < waiting for device>
now connect a factory cable from the Kindle to the desktop, and power on the Kindle. It should show the Fastboot screen.
the terminal bash window should show ROM version of the Kindle:
product: Tate-###-##
now enter the following commands in the terminal bash window.
$ fastboot -i 0x1949 erase cache
$ fastboot -i 0x1949 erase userdata
$ fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery images/recovery.img
$ fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot images/boot.img
for Restore-Factory Rooted with SuperSU.apk, enter this command.
$ fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system images/system.img
or for Restore-Factory Rooted with SuperSU.apk, Apex Launcher, and PlayStore, enter this command.
$ fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system images/system2.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
disconnect the Kindle and it may need a couple of reboots for the stock ROM to come up.
now that was simple. i hope this helps.
Hi guys..really need help from someone, i'm desperate now.. I am a newbie..so please explain me step by step what should i do next..
I tried to downgrade from kitkat to jb so i can root it without unlocking my tablet and loosing the warranty...i watched a tutorial that sayd that flasing a blob from a UL-K00C-WW-10.26.1.18-user.zip will restore the tablet to stock..but nothing..he cant boot to android no more. Stay in the asus logo with the nvidia tegra pwd. Those are some commands i tried in in fastboot till now and even to extract that update and rename it to T4_UPDATE.zip and put it on a fat32 sdcard...
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

So let me get this straight:
Your bootloader is locked - correct?
If yes, you cannot flash a recovery and you cannot use any of the fastboot commands you posted.
As far as I know you cannot downgrade from the KitKat firmware to JB either, which is supported by what the instructions on the Asus website state...
Can you still boot into the bootloader and the stock recovery?
If yes, I would just download the latest Asus firmware, extract it once and copy it to a microSD.
Insert it and boot to recovery. If it still works it should recognize the Asus file and flash it.
At least that would get you back to a working system.
I'm not sure why you wanted to just root the tablet - it's a waste of time IMHO. The TF701 runs great on stock and yes - even better on a custom rom. But why would you need just root?
Hello and thanks for replying.
Now, since all this commands it's giving me bootloader error 0x0000 thing but still, even when the bootloader was working the update was not working from the microSD, stopped immediatly.
Anyway, i still can enter in the fastboot where is the rck, android and the wipe thing. What should i do now?
Stupid me, just want it to root it and use a mod on a game..
Thanks in advance.

Describe in detail, step-by-step, how you tried to flash the official Asus firmware.
I cannot help you if I have to guess at what you did....
Ok, first of all i download the Jelly Bean which is version 10, i extract it and watching a tutorial i flash the blob file from inside tough it will give me back to that stock.
This step costs me because it didnt boot it anymore in the android. After that i saw that i can put the firmware inside a microSD and tablet it will start updating the files/firmware. I put it and not Hung happened.. I changed the name Into T4_UPDATE and restart it. The tablet star it to update but after a while when it sayd: deleting file, stopped and give me error. So, i want it to delete the myself and enter it in fastboot and i execute the erase and format system, cache, appdata and data, which formating data freezzed the cmd and nothing happened. I then tried again to update it from microSD but now failed from the start... I did wrong executing those commands...
Then i again tried to execute the commands which i put the in the code tag but without luck. I also tried to flash recovery.img thoughing it was the stock one, but was from maccalan guy s-o now appears his details when i'm entering in the recovery with the 3 option: rck, android and wipe thing.
This is all, can i do something even if the bootloader is locked, or i need to send it to repair?
Thanks in advance.

You cannot change bootloader or recovery if your tablet is locked. I have no idea what happened when you tried to do that...
You also cannot downgrade the stock firmware from the 11.4.1.27 version.
So your best bet to get the tablet back probably is:
Download the correct SKU (WW, US, JP...) for your tablet.
Extract that file ONCE and copy the resulting zip file to the root of a fat32 formatted microSD. Do not put it into any folders - just copy it to the card.
Insert the card, enter recovery (RCK) and it should find the firmware file and flash it.
Good luck!
Edit: If the above does not work, try to rename the once extracted firmware file to T4_SDUPDATE.zip and copy that to the root of the microSD.
Note the name! You renamed incorrectly when you tried to flash the 10. firmware!!
I just tried now again but i cant enter rck because is giving me bootloader error 0x0000 something like that. What next?

I'm sorry friend, but with a locked bootloader Asus is your only option left. Get a quote before you accept their repair. They will probably replace the motherboard and it could be costly....
I call them and in the e next days they will send it in their laboratory. I will pay something even if its in warranty?
Thanks you for your time. Cheers.
Yeah, you will pay.That is why things like this void warranties. Because if you screw up your device, why should Asus pay out?

I've been having a problem with my Kindle Fire 7" in a constant bootloop like the same at 1 minute in the video titled "How to push files with ADB to your KIndle FIre HD when stuck in Recovery". Except it stays in the teamwin screen and keeps looping. How do I fix this?
Power off the kindle completely, as these instructions will try to force it into fastboot. Make sure you have ADB and fastboot installed on your PC (VERY IMPORTANT: if you're on Windows, install ADB drivers for the kindle as well). Next, summon a terminal or command prompt (run as administrator if you can), cd to the folder where adb and fastboot are located if necessary, and type in fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product. When you see "<waiting for device>", plug in the kindle. It should now reboot into fastboot mode, and the terminal should have outputted "jem-pvt-prod-04" or something similar to it. You should now enter fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 into the terminal in order to reset the bootmode. After this, type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot, and it should boot into Android.
Hi,
I am really hoping someone can help. My first attempt at upgrading my Fire HD using flashfire has red bricked it before it even got as far as installing twrp.
I bought a fastboot/factory cable and a few times it has showed the fastboot screen but adb does not list the device and so the tools just say waiting for device.
I have tried multiple versions of the adb usb drivers but none have worked so far when using the fastboot cable. I am using Windows 10 laptop but I also tried win7 desktop with the same lack of results.
I am stuck.
There seems to be as many ways to fix this as there are users who have bricked their kindle.
adb doesn't work in fastboot mode. Try fastboot devices. If you want out of fastboot try, fastboot reboot. Remove the cable before it reboots.
While in fastboot you could flash TWRP. Make sure the img file is in the directory you are in. Type fastboot flash recovery twrp(whatever filename).img
You can get into recovery by holding down the power button and volume up. Let go when the blue fire shows up.
The volume button is broken so it does limit my options.
I just found that to get into Fastboot I have to plugin to the laptop with the fastboot cable and then switch on the KFHD immediately.
> fastboot devices
returns nothing.
> fastboot reboot
says <waiting for device>
Same with the fastboot flash recovery command using either cable.
Then using the normal usb cable I opened Win Device Manager and under the Android Device entry I changed the driver to Android Bootloader Interface. This seems to have helped.
>fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

finished. total time: -0.000s
>fastboot -i 0x1949 erase boot
erasing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 0.703s]
finished. total time: 0.703s
So I am currently using ULTIMATE KINDLE FIRE HD UNBRICK TOOL to erase everything and hopefully I can install something afterwards.
I will report back if I succeed.
Many thanks for helping.
It took 2 attempts but it has just finished wiping and installing the os (version 7.3.0 which is lower than the one I had before I think) and has successfully rebooted. Phew!
Thanks again for pointing out my newbie errors.
I now need to work out how to do this properly and which version I can safely update to without bricking the device. The LineageOS website is a bit contradictory. Maybe CM will be better ?
I'm running a cm12 nightly build. Anything more and you lose the camera and HDMI output.
Which bootloader driver did you install? By that, I am referring to the hardware I'd.

you have to put -i 0x1949 in front of ALL your commands. Its a vendor ID for amazon and its the only way to fastboot to the device. (example: fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot, fastboot -i ox1949 flash recovery yeeee.img, etc.)
just trial and error it.
Also to use TWRP (temoporarily) run "fastboot -i 0x1949 boot [path to recovery image]"
On latest platform tools the -i option is gone so where can we get the older fastboot executables?
