Dear specialists from XDA:
I'm from Brazil, and I bought a Kindle Fire HD 7 (MODEL x43z80 'tate') with the last original Fire OS, and the Amazon universe don't have a lot of things in Brazil, so I decided to put a Cyanogenmod based on Marshmallow. My guide is the Tekify Channel, and I got it.
But, after a soft reset, because I want to give a gift to my wife, I have the TWRP bootloop issue.
After a 1 week from search in XDA and a lot of English tutorials in youtube, today I have the kindle in stucked in the 'Kindle Fire' logo bootloop.
So, I search here in XDA wha I have to do, and I stucked.
I don't have a fastboot cable, in Brazil Amazon sold just the basic kindle e-reader, and I want the Kindle Fire good again... :crying:
Someone help me? I try ALL the aplications here, like: KFHD unbrick, Kindle Fire 1st Aid, but I1m stucked in the Kindle Fire logo.
I can't access the ADB or Fastboot, because the computer don't recognize the KFHD, and I can't access the TWRP or any screen, I tried a lot of times the command POWER+VOL DOWN, but I return to the 'Kindle Fire' logo.
Thanks for the help.
J.C.
From powered down condition, press power button, then hold POWER-UP, until blue fire logo appears and continue to hold for a couple of seconds, then release. It should go into TWRP. From there, ADB should work. If not, try powering up while connected to PC with USB cable. Hopefully it will boot into fastboot mode. I use linux because windows has too many problems with drivers.

hi,
i have Kindle Fire HD 7" after some issues i try to flashing, voip all data and delete backup etc, my WTRP V.2.7.8.0 changed to v.2.6.3.1 and stuck in kindle fire logo and not connected to pc or not show storage in my computer.
please help me and restore my kindle fire tate. thanks a lot (i am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)
Can you boot into TWRP? You need to update to at least V2.8.7.0. I'm running V3.0.0.0 but I can't find the download link anywhere. If you're in TWRP 2.6.3.1 try going the the boot menu and reboot to bootloader. This should put you in fastboot. Next, connect to PC via USB. Type fastboot devices to see if it's working. Now fastboot flash recovery /(path and filename to TWRP 2.8.7.0) Once you have the newer version installed, remove usb cable and reboot to twrp and make sure mtd is enabled in the mount menu. You sould be able to connect usb cable and drag and drop your chosen ROM and gapps into the internal storage where you can install them with TWRP.

(adb & kindle usb driver already installed) sorry my english is not good
Make sure USB 2.0 or less on PC port. Try a different cable. Try another Android device just to make sure everything works on the computer.

Thanks again to you
Kindle show in my laptop but connect see pics.
Try installing mtp USB many times but not successfully installing in my laptop.
you need a newer version of twrp. If fastboot won't work, I don't know how you can flash a new recovery or bootloader.
The last thing to try would be to update adb and fastboot from Google or the Ubuntu repositories. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
Try: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Try with root: sudo su
I have never used a fastboot cable. It hasn't been necessary but it may be in your case.

I made some changes to the build.prop and rebooted, and now it gets stuck at the Kindle Fire boot animation. I can't get it to boot into safe mode either. Is there a way to unbrick or restore it without a factory cable? I can't get it to show up with adb.
If there's no way, I could probably make a factory cable, but it would be nice to fix it without having to do that.

Yes there is a way to get the 8.9 into fastboot so you can restore it without a factory cable, as a factory cable does not work on this device.
Power down the device and unplug
Open a cmd prompt where you have access to the fastboot script from SDK
Enter this command (or any fastboot cmd as long as you include [-i 0x1949]:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
It will say "waiting for device"
Plug in the device and it will automatically boot into fastboot.
I have confirmed this works works when the device is in a loop and adb is not recognized. This does not work on the other models, a factory cable is required. Once in fastboot you can flash a backup image. I will be posting an update to the KFHD SRTool in the development section this morning to include 8.9" version

Tried that... The command you said just shows the help list, if I do a different fastboot command it says waiting for device and then the Kindle boots normally and gets stuck at boot animation like usual.

Are you sure you typed that command correctly because the help menu comes up if a command is entered wrong, I just did it and it worked fine. When you enter a fastboot command for this device it has to have the- [-i 0x1949] after fastboot, that is a zero not an O. If that is not done it will boot normally
ie:
fastboot -i 0x1949 [command]
I've posted the update for the 8.9 restore tool in development section
It could be because I have an older version of fastboot. Any chance you could upload the newest version for me?

Here you go:
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B4lZEJI5lYeMdzJobG5jSk9QSEk/edit
If you need to restore the system image though, you should just download the KFHD_SRTool from development section for 8.9 and follow the instructions. It has fastboot included in the tool.
I've done the same thing with my kindle fire hd 7 (7.2.2 rooted, no TWRP), now its just stuck on the boot animation.
adb does not recognize the device. I tried using fastboot, (with the normal usb cable), it gets stuck with the '<waiting for device>' message.
The device manager does show the Kindle, but earlier it used to show 2 devices, a kindle and an adb composite
Were you ultimately able to solve this issue?

Turns out, it was a driver issue. Installed the proper Amazon driver, then it was detected by the adb. From there on, I was able to replace the bad build.prop with my backup

My Kindle Fire 8.9" SW v.8.1.4 is completely dark and unresponsive as the result of an unsuccessful attempt to root using KF utility 0.9.6. I suspect results would have been different if I'd had the sense to locate your tool and use it instead.

I have charged overnight, held the power button down for >20 sec. to make sure the device was off, then bumped the power button. This should assure that the device is on, but in Amazon's wisdom there are no LEDs to confirm this. Do you have any suggestions for getting the device in a communicative state?

I have exactly the same problem. This KFU-version seems to be a real KF 8.9"-killer.
My device does not respond to anything, regardless what I tried. Connecting to a PC does not trigger any response. The device is not recognized by the PC in any way. I believe that there is no USB-communication at all. I tried a factory-mode cable and this didn't work, too.
Any help would be appreciated, really!
Thanks and regards

Add another brick to the pile. Fire HD 8.9. Already rooted, OTA defeated, and Google App'd, but wanted the security of FFF just in case. Planned to used KFU 0.9.6 to set fastboot and then push FFF 1.4a once in fastboot. Instead, used KFU 0.9.6 to automatically install FFF. It appeared that KFU pushed FFF and then sent a reboot. The machine never came back to life after that shutdown.

I removed the back - there are no obvious 'fastboot' pads on any of the boards as there is for the HD 7".
Does anyone think that a factory cable would get this thing's attention? edit...apparently not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20380015&postcount=9

Well...there's always a 'motherboard' swap. Sigh.
Another one bites the dust...but hopefully not
Hi guys,
I tried the KFFirstAide tool to root my Fire 8.9, but after it ran, it just wipes red and then goes to the fastboot screen after powering up. I've used the KFHD SRT tool to replaced the system.img file, but still the same thing happens. Is it possibly because I need to restore the boot.img and recovery.img (which KFFirstAide overwrites) as well? And if so, does someone have a clean copy of those that will work with 8.1.4? Thanks!
George

I hope you didn't swap motherboards... Like user onemeila stated, you do not need a fastboot cable on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Just make sure that before you enter the command "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" that your Kindle is off and plug into the factory cable. Enter the command and wait for the message <wating for device>. Then turn on your kindle and you should boot into fastboot mode. If you see the fastboot screen on your kindle and Jem-PVT-Prod-04 in the command terminal, there is hope. The only problem I encountered is after each command, sometime it won't respond. So you might have to do one command, let it finish it's process. If the next one doesn't work, turn off the kindle enter "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" command. Turn on the kindle and proceed with the next command to restore your kindle.
The way the device is setup, it's very hard to completely ruin the device.

You are pretty much screwed. Sorry to tell you. You've flashed over the bootloader, the problem is with one that doesn't work. So your device won't even boot into fastboot no matter what you do. There was a way to do it on the original KF by removing the back and grounding the usb boot pad, then you could usbboot cmds to install the bootloader. But I'm not sure if it will work or ever been tested on this device. Good Luck, look on the bright side you can turn it into an extremely thin planter box, that still serves no purpose
well
I didnt read everything carefully but succeded in rooting my KHFD 8.9"

I am trying to install a second bootloader on my Kindle Fire HD in order to install the Kinology ROM. I am using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848. On the 5th step, it requires me to be in fastboot mode. Do I need a special cable for this? I tried doing as the post said with the charging cable my Kindle came with, and instead of starting in fastboot mode, it boots to the stock OS. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

To reboot your device into fastboot mode you need to enter this command in CMD wherever you have access to adb
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
Then continue with step 5
and make sure you transfer kinology files to your kindle before you proceed so you can flash it right after you flash TWRP.
but note that if something goes wrong and you find yourself in a bootloop, then this command will not work since adb only works when the OS boots, and you WILL need a fastboot cable to get out, This is a special cable that can be made by making a simple modification to any micro USB cable like the one that came with the device, Believe me you will need one sooner or later.
Hi all,
I tried to install a 2nd bootloader on my rooted device (KF HD 7" - 7.4.6) according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848, but I can't manage to make fastbooot mode work, even using a fastboot cord.
With the Kindle powered down, I type "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" into a cmd window on my PC and it returns with: < waiting for device>
When i connect fastboot cable to the Kindle, it reboots to a "FASTBOOT kindle fire" logo.
Terminal window shows < waiting for device> and nothing else.
Device isn't stuck, anyway; if I power it off, unplug the cable and power it on, kindle works normally.
KFFirstAide won't help, too.
Any advice, please ?
Thanks
Sounds like you just need to install the driver for fastboot, while the device is in fastboot, look in your device manager, find the device with a triangle next to it, right click it and hit update driver. Download the driver in my signature and unzip it, and tell the update driver window to search the folder you extracted the driver in my signature to, it should install and the fastboot commands will then function.

Type. fastboot devices
And check if it returns any code/value.
If it doesnot return anything then your drivers are not working properly.
Go to Computer Properties>>device mamagment>> And check if it shows ur device fastboot drivers.
If it is not shown then plug out ur usb cable>>restart ur pc>>plug in the usb in usb port other than you pluged before.. and inatall your fastboot drivers.
If you don't have fastboot drivers. Googe it.

Good deal, now use KFFA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 Use this to restore, root, and Gapps and remove OTA updates. Use the thread Stunts posted above to install 2nd bootloader/TWRP or this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 One is manually (recommended) and the other is by flashing which works just fine but remember to put a ROM on your SD disk before flashing as well or you may have another bootloop.

Hi,

Hi,
I moved into a new house yesterday and when un packing I found an Amazon Kindle Fire HD that was basically left behind I went to plug it in to my phone charger Micro USB and it began too boot up but then stopped at the Fastboot logo with Kindle Fire under it. Ive never had a Kindle Fire before so not really sure what to do tried connecting it to my Laptop but nothing shows up i.e installs etc. I don't know if it would be bricked or a software fault and tried Power and Volume Up and Down to see if there is a recovery system but they isn't.
I hope one of you guys can help
Thanks

Right click the device, hit update drivers, download the drivers in my signature, and extract them, point the update device window to where you extracted my drivers and let it install them, if you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first. Once the drivers are installed I would suggest trying a simple
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
that might kick it out of fastboot. Tell me how it goes.

Hello! First of all, i'm kind of a noob as far as kindle development issues concern, but i managed to install custom roms before (in fact, my brick problema began when i tried to upgrade to CM11 from goo.im). I am really desperate right now because i followed all the instructions in several threads but nothing helped me so far.
Here is my situation:
My kindle fire hd 7" is stuck at Fastboot mode after my failed attempt to upgrade from CM10.1 to CM11. My computer recognizes it as Tate-PVT-08 but it's not accepting any fastboot commands, except for "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot". When i run this command, my kindle actually "reboots" but goes into fatboot mode again and again. When in "cmd", it doesn't recognize the devices either, but when run command "getvar" shows Tate-PVT-08. In conclusión, i want to know if there is a problema with the instalation of cmd in my PC, or if you can recommend any tool to restore my Tablet, even if it means going back to stock OS.
Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Are you using a fastboot cord? If so that's why. Use that command and then pull the cord from the computer as soon as it restarts.

Thank you for taking your time to help me out, appreciate it.
I changed the cord because i realized that i'm already in fastboot mode, so don't need fastboot cable. When i run the command, the Kindle boot logo lasts for few more senconds than with fastboot cable, but still goes into fastboot mode again. Also tried pushing all posible buttons (At blue kindle ffire logo) to reach recovery mode but failed. I'm using Kindle Fire First Aide but doesn't seems to work either.
Any toughts? Thank you.

If you see the blue TWRP there may be hope without a doing a factory reset. Press the power button for 30 seconds and power down the KFHD7. Now hit power to turn the Kindle on and as soon as you see the yellow Kindle boot animation hold the volume rocker up and continue to hold it there until until you see the blue TWRP boot animation and continue pressing for three seconds, then release. Do you boot into TWRP? If you see the blue TWRP boot animation you should have it.

If you can get into TWRP that might be to your advantage because you can adb.sideload a ROM onto TWRP flash it and go on with it from there. KFFA has been down off and on. It was once a great tool but it needs updated and the Drop Box account associated with it is down at the momnent.

Mr LinearEquation, thank you so much for your advice.
Following a different thread i managed to boot into TWRP by flashing images of "Freedom Boot" and TWRP itself via fastboot commands. Now in theory i can flash a .zip of any ROM but the thing is that i cannot load zips to the Tablet. even though it's recognized now as KINDLE instead of Tate-PVT-08 in the Device Manager, i'm not able to see the kindle as a Pop-up window where you can drag-and-drop files to the Tablet.
The question is: How do i push a ROM via adb as you mentioned in your previous message? Do you know which file do i need and the proper command to push it?
Kindly Regards.

Help! Mine was stuck in fastboot. When I hit the power button it boots up automatically in fastboot with any device attached to it. Then after a few sec it goes off.

Have you looked at this page? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 Maybe the unbricked section (part 6 of first page) can help in particular the SRT tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 . I have also noticed if you scroll down to troubleshooting section on the first page of first link it lists your problem and the steps to resolve it

Thank you for the reply. Well, my first problem is the kindle doesn't stay on fastboot. It shuts down after a second.

Hi I locked mine up also and used a program called
Demo Mode Restore. Basically you shut off your kindle and unplug the charge/data cable run the program and click enter once then says plug you kindle in and when it boots the program catches it before it starts up and all you have to do is follow the directions and when it restarts its like when you first took it out of the box
You`ll have to do a search for Demo Mode Restore
Hope this help. God Bless )

I moved into a new house yesterday and when un packing I found an Amazon Kindle Fire HD that was basically left behind I went to plug it in to my phone charger Micro USB and it began too boot up but then stopped at the Fastboot logo with Kindle Fire under it. Ive never had a Kindle Fire before so not really sure what to do tried connecting it to my Laptop but nothing shows up i.e installs etc. I don't know if it would be bricked or a software fault and tried Power and Volume Up and Down to see if there is a recovery system but they isn't.
I hope one of you guys can help
Thanks

I just gave my KF HD 7" to my friend and he wanted me to set it back up as a KF since i had Cyanogen Mod cm-12.1-20160126-NIGHTLY installed on it but haven't used it in a while (read 1-2 years). He was messing around with it before i could get to it and thought hitting Restore to Factory settings would fix it. The device is now stuck on a flashing teamwin logo screen and wont go any further no matter what i've tried. My computer wont recognize the kindle to let me in from cmd so i've reached the limits of my modding knowledge. Could someone please point me in the right direction so i can fix this for him.
If you're running Windows, you should install the Kindle drivers from this post. Also run the nifty 15 second ADB installer found here on XDA, and answer Yes to the "install ADB & fastboot" and "install ADB system wide" questions, and no to the "install device drivers" question. Reboot when the installations are completed, then power off the kindle completely, type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product into a command prompt/terminal on your PC, and plug in the kindle (preferably with a fastboot cable/adapter if you have one) when you see <waiting for device>. If you get a string beginning with "tate", then fastboot is working properly. At that point, you should reflash TWRP and the freedom-boot and 2nd bootloader images as directed in Hashcode's thread. (download the files in Step 2, then follow steps 5 and 6 to flash TWRP and the other files.)
Or once you get fastboot working you could use the SRT tool to flash it back to stock with root.
install the Kindle drivers from this post.
Downloaded but installation fails every time with no given reason so i tried a universal adb driver to no avail.
run the nifty 15 second ADB installer found here
Did this with no problems.
I started the fastboot in cmd and it says "waiting for device" but when i plug the kindle in after turning it off completely (i think, best i can do is hold power button till screen turns off and stops flashing teamwin) yet still cant seem to find it. Any suggestions?

No worries. All you need to do to get the fastboot drivers to install is to follow these instructions to temporarily disable driver signature enforcement. Once you've done that, install the drivers and reboot. After that, fastboot should recognize the kindle.
Above steps worked and KF is now working correctly thanks!

Once you're in fastboot mode (rebooting into the bootloader from Android, for example), does fastboot -i 0x1949 devices show that the Kindle's connected?
