Can't get any computer or OS to recognize my kindle fire HD 7 even with the factory cable. Help!!!:crying:
I was in fastboot mode and did a reboot and when it booted back up it stuck on the start screen and won't let me do anything anymore. The fastboot cable I bought doesn't put it into fastboot mode and it is not recognized by any of my computers or OS. Tried everything but my mac so far. That includes XP, 7, 8 and Ubuntu.
I'll try a hard reset again. I've done that several times hoping that one time it would get recognized by the computer.
Before you panic too much, you need give more information. What were you doing to "brick it"?
Have you tried a hard reset btw? (Hold the power button down for 30 seconds) then let go and turn on?
Worked for me before when I thought messed up

You were doing something in fastboot mode, What was it? did you try to install the 2nd bootloader by hashcode or just restoring your device?

I did something similar and have what i though 'bricked' the kindle. Have another good read through hashcode 2nd bootloader thread, others have has similar, and there are some instructions on how to resolve fastboot cable not recognised, and kndle is bricked. if not, go down the firstaide thread, that also deals with bricked kindles.
good luck

have you successed to fix it ?
unluckily, I have the same problem.
factory cable is no use.

I just had same problem. Factory cable no use. I intalled Kinology but thought to restore to a Kindle version. When the bootloader was being flashed, a black brick ... Anyone knows how to deal with this? I even opened the case and unplug battery.

You all have a paperweight on your hands. The factory cable was the very last resort. If you're in warranty, send it in for a replacement.
possible solution
searching i found this page where explain how to fix the hard brick, black screen no sing of life, cant post links so, search in google "new life for a dead Kindle fire hd, is in mascote..... can any expert try it and explain that to the rest of us,

A while back, I brought this question up to Pokey9000, the developer of FireFireFire and Firekit for the Original Kindle Fire. His exact response to me was...
When the OMAP USB boots, it first waits a bit to handshake with a host. If the handshake is successful, the host sends a small loader to the OMAP that then does some hardware init and handshakes again with the host to get a payload to shove into RAM. This loader is similar to x-loader in that it has to be small to fit in the SRAM of the OMAP, and does low level initialization like mux, clock, and memory setup. However it differs in that it replaces the MMC and FAT handling in x-loader with USB loading as there's not enough room for a generic x-loader that does MMC and USB.
On HS (fused) OMAPs this initial USB loader payload must be signed just like x-loader has to be for eMMC boot. If the payload doesn't have a signature that checks out, the OMAP halts until it's reset. This is enforced by hardware, so short of finding a sploit in the OMAP ROM code or a copy of Amazon's USB boot tools used in factory it's not going to work.
TL;DR not likely.

Considering his knowledge of bootloaders and low level hardware stuffs far exceeds mine, and the fact that he's been looking at this issue ever since the B&N Nook devices (maybe even longer), I have to assume he knows what he's talking about.
The information on the page at Mascote seems to contradict what Pokey9000 says because usbboot uses an a-boot(x-loader) instead of this not-so-typical USB loader mentioned previously. And the answer to whether or not the author was actually successful in reviving the KFHD using this method has been left a little ambiguous.
But, as much as it would suck for me to have been the d*ck that told everyone that it couldn't be done, I would LOVE to be proven wrong.
I'd say, if you have a hard-bricked KFHD, then I guess there's not much else you can lose by testing it out.

I have tried this on the 2012 KFHD (tate) and found it to work. After trying every recovery option via adb/fastboot. plus using factory cable. i was left with no choice. i used a pin needle with grounding wire attached to chassis of the kindle. be carefull the top is power(button?), bottom is restart. if you lose contact at all during the process. It will boot/reboot as normal.
with this method you must use CMD(in admin mode from pc) and adb push/pull/install/uninstall as needed. device has no input in this boot.

A few hours ago I was given a Tate to fix, and having read around the subject, Djskizo's post sounds either like a complicated homemade factory fastboot cable, or to be honest a fake. Perhaps the OP meant fastboot instead of ADB, but that combined with vague details puts me off trying it. Try a factory cable perhaps, I'm gonna try making one (short out micro usb pins 1 and 4) and I'll get back to you on the results.
Any updates?
Any updates on this? I hard bricked mine yesterday flashing the wrong bootloader. Can't believe how easy it is to brick it. I just have myself to blame, I know...
I saw this post on Mascote and it seems like a post for KFHD Gen 1. Is this the one being referred to, by you guys?
Only Djskizo seems to claim that this works for KFHD Gen 2(tate) so far. Is this true?

I cant seem to figure out how to do the usbboot trick. I have a fire hd 3rd gen. On the board there is actually a point that says usb boot next to it but when i ground that out and plug it in it's still froze at the unanimated boot screen, sometimes the background also turns white? What am i doing wrong or is this point labeled just to confuse me
Added photos
Here is the pic of the usb boot and the board name.

Thanks buddy I will help you as much as I can with info I find. iv been told I need to get it in to fast boot mode with a factory cable but then saying that I read in another post that does not work iv purchased one of eBay to try out so ill let you know if that works
You can reflash stockboot.img and stockrecover.img files by following step 5 and it will be work well.

That's why you need the factory cable; It's used to boot the Kindle directly into FastBoot mode. From my understanding, the only way a factory cable would fail is if the bootloader is damaged.

Ok iv just got one of eBay now how do I use it sorry for the noody question do I just power it on and plug it in and its in fastboot? Also how could I have damaged the bootloader I hope I haven't how will I know if the bootloader its damaged? All I did was install the wrong os from the wrong kindle do your restore packages contain a bootloader?
thanks for your help

I will try to answer to the best of my ability (as I am still a noob with the Kindle HD). If anyone more knowledgeable is reading, you're input would be much appreciated
- Using the factory cable: I think you need to plug in the cable to the Kindle HD (powered off). Then plug in the other end to the computer, and it should power on to FastBoot mode. As far as what to do in FastBoot mode and what commands to use, you will probably have to ask someone more knowledgeable than me.
- Bootloader: When people say 'the bootloader is damaged' they are most likely referring to the fact that the device cannot accept FastBoot commands. When you turn on the Kindle, the bootloader decides whether to turn on the kindle in normal mode or fastboot mode. So if you can't get into fastboot mode, then the bootloader is not functioning properly for some reason.
As far as how you would damage the bootloader? Well... Iike I said before I'm a noob with the Kindle so I can't really answer this. From what I've read, the most common mistake is that people have flashed something onto the Kindle Fire HD 7 that was meant for another version of the device.
I suggest you to try working with one of the senior members/developers to troubleshoot and fix your problem.

thanks for all your help its been great ill let you know if the fast-boot lead works unfortunately the stock charging/data lead did not work because it does not supply power to 4th pin like the fastboot leads do to enter fastboot. im normally a wiz with android but the kinle fire hd 7 is one of the worst tabs i have ever owned. im not sure if you are familiar with the AOSP but part of the rules and agreements manufacturers make with Google if they choose to use android is that the system is open source and the ability for advanced super users to modify and customize android how they want it not how the device manufacturer puts it e.g. apple ios (closed source) the manufacturer is allowed to add a boot-loader and stock recovery to prevent accidental damages like wiping partitions etc.... and due to people complaining a lot of manufacturers have not included a boot-loaded unlock tool like htc dev web site but unfortunately you have got amazon...who have locked the boot-loader, disabled button combination and installed a very minimal recovery with just factory reset and reboot, this is actually against the AOSP and i do not know why Google have not done something about this its very frustrating for all of us we have to make our own system recovery tools because amazon do not include one and other such features like 2ndinit boot-loader < (thanks for that) they have actually refereed to the device os as kindle os when its an android 4.0.1 SDK build they make me so angry now i have literally got a £159 brick! i understand its an ebook but they agreed to install android as the default os so they should do it properly haha!!
but im sure in the end google will do something about it an sue them for millions well fingers crossed haha
Hi,
I'm afraid I bricked my new Kindle Fire HD 7''. Completely. After Rooting I tried to install CM using this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
Everything went smooth (no errors, all commands successful) until "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot". The Kindle shut down after that. And never came back. The screen stays off (no backlight), no USB device is detected by Windows after plugging it in. Tried with factory and standard cable. Executing "fastboot [anthing]" always displays < waiting for device >.
Is there any help for my device? I've almost given up...
It is dead. What version was it, the 2012 or 2013 HD? Because the 2013 HD didn't have a bootloader that was exploitable and had no ROMs for it because of that, so by downgrading the bootloader on that model to the 2012's it would hard brick it. If it was the 2012 model and you had this happen I would guess you didn't verify the md5sum of the bootloader before flashing it. The only hope of fixing it is if someone posts the pin out for the emmc so you could solder the motherboard to sdcard reader and flash it from a PC running Linux. Its been done on the kf2 and hd8.9 so you can always hope someone posts it. Don't bother with looking into trying to flash it with USB shorting trick, it only works on the kf1 because of signed file we would need and don't have. Sorry if this sounds a bit pessimistic, I just thought I'd mention things that don't work and things that could in the future.

Oh sh**. It's the latest model. I somehow missed the information, that CM only runs on the 2012 model. Rooting worked great, by the way...
I haven't even heard any talk about kurohyou checking out a kfhd 2013's board to trace contacts, only some talk of the 2012 7" HD, usually the tracing process is more than likely going to ruin the board unless you are good at re-balling a emmc chip without a ir soldering station(toaster oven fun time). Since its pretty new I would assume amazon would replace it under warranty. Just tell them it won't turn on. Wouldn't mention trying to flash it.

Have you tried to use the Amazon warranty? Just want to know if that would be a possbility to try some risky things with the kindle.

Hey Guys,
I spent today trying to root my Kindle Fire HD 7, 4th gen (i think). After trying for ages it coudnt get it work so i decided to give up. when shutting it down in the recovery mode screen, i hit the power button while it was over the option reboot bootloader or something like that.
Now the Kindle will not turn and when i plug it into my pc, it is showing as an HTC Dream.
What i want to know have i broken it completely or is there away i can undo what i have done.
I updated my fire to os 5 and my windows operating system is 10.
cheers.

How did you fix it?
Pretty sure My Kindle Fire 5th Gen is bricked.
In the process rolling back the firmware from 5.1.4 to 5.1.1 using the ADB tool and the 5.1.1: "update-kindle-full_ford-37.5.4.1_user_541112720.bin" file, the Kindle died. I have done this before a few days ago with no problem. I was having difficulty rooting the device using KingRoot so I decided to re-flash the image. After the ADB tool finished flashing the firmware I pressed the power button to reset the tablet. Now it won't turn on. The screen is completely black. No response when trying to power up the system. Tried every combination of holding the buttons. I've even pulled the battery.
The Kindle Unbrick tool also doesn't work. All the options say they can't find the device. When it is plugged into the computer the "MT 65xx Preloader" appears in Device Manager. It will appear and disappear every 10 sec or so. All the while the screen is completely powered off.
Has anyone dealt with this issue successfully or have i created a paper weight
BTW... I am pretty new to the Android hacking world, so I'm sorry if the terminology is incorrect.

Rolling back to to 5.1.1 or below from 5.1.2 or above is a guaranteed brick. Numerous cautions posted in multiple Fire threads. What ever you did before did not start with 5.1.2+ and terminate with a working device running 5.1.1. No known recovery at present.

Well... Crap.
I attempted to downgrade 5.1.2 -> 5.1.1 with pretty much the same result......paper weight. Used aftv2 tools to establish COM port comm with the MT chipset in the tablet, even writing the correct lk.bin file to it but no difference. Either someone comes up with the unbrick method, or I just acquired a very expensive paperweight.

Fingers crossed! I am not sure factory/fastboot cable will work without the tablet being able to boot up or go into fastboot mode (power + vol up keys). Anyway, if it works, it'll be worth the $10 spend. Lemme know how it goes.

I should have the cord by Thursday the 16th
I bricked my tablet as well over the weekend. I downgraded from 5.1.3 to 5.1.2 with no issue. I then tried downgrading from 5.1.2 to 5.1.1 I’ve tried several ways to unbrick and been unsuccessful. I also have the issue with the MTK device showing for about 2 seconds and then dropping offline in Windows. However in that split second the device comes up, I tried looking at what was coming across a TERMINAL. The Terminal just says READYREADYREADY. So no go!

As previously noted factory/fastboot cables are ineffective on this and several other Amazon devices. A different cable won't help.
I downgraded 5.1.3 to 5.1.2 everything worked like it should. Then for some odd ball reason I downgraded to 5.1.1 soft bricking the device. You can get the device to talk to the MediaTek Preloader Usb drivers by using the "./handshake.py" python script. However everything I have tried doesn't do anything. I also have tried a fastboot cable, and results are null! So now I either ask Amazon to replace the device. Or we keep trying different methods to find a working unlock. I would say the device isn't 100% bricked as it does respond to the handshake. =P

Ask for an exchange. Time and talents have been expended on unbrick attempts without success. There is no indication a breakthrough is near.
