Hey geniuses, i have a KFHD 7". i ran the KFHD_SRT kit to downgrade my kindle to 7.2.3 na dgain root access.
i am proficient enough in cmd prompt to use adb and fastboot.
i have attempted to install:
2nd bootloader
TWRP
Kinology
CM10
and aosp
using fastboot i get no errors, everything installs and/or flashes correctly.
When i change the bootmode and attempt to boot recovery, i see the orange KF logo for a split second, then the screen shows totally red, with no reaction at all. all i can do is go back to fastboot and run the SRT to reload 7.2.3
i have followed several different guides (though there is little to no difference between them) i never get an error. i only ever get the red screen.
Has anyone else had this problem? the only red screens ive seen have been on devices that were not rooted or altered at all, and the devices is usually totally bricked (though most people dont know about the fastboot cable, so probably not)
can anyone give me a beginning to end walkthrough for ANY rom with s/w ver. 7.2.3 OR 7.3.1?
*edit* i did just realize that hashcodes 2nd bootloader says 8.9" only but every 7" rom page links me to that bootloader
*edit edit* i found and tried the 7" bootloader, and have the same problem
When you came from 7.3.1 a downgrade to 7.2.3 is not enough. You also have to downgrade the bootloader back to 7.2.3.
The 7.3.1 bootloader includes a fix that if you install freedomboot it will cause a redscreen due to the new verification Amazon put into their new bootloader.
Go to Hashcode's thread about the second bootloader for 7"
And read thoroughly, since you have the red screen, you will need a fastboot cable to fix it

Ah! that makes sense. i did try that that guide and the freedom boot wouldnt flash. it gave me the max. d/l size then failed listing "no error"
I will follow it again on 7.3.1 and post my results. Thank you for your help
Kffirstaide
I downloaded and ran the KF FIRST AIDE tool and it worked like a charm on all features, until i run bootloader + twrp install.
everything runs succesfully and it reboots to red screen of death.
i did do a factory reset first.
as much success as is had with that toolkit i thought for sure it would be a breeze.
if i have time today ill try the manual flash again
You still haven't flashed the 7.2.3 u-boot, that's why you get the red screen. You MUST flash the 7.2.3 u-boot file (the 7.2.3 bootloader, this will get rid of the red screen) before installing TWRP. It's found in Hashcode's bootloader thread.
semi-success
AH! man do i feel stupid. i didnt realize the toolkit d/g'd everything BUt the bootloader.
I am now running TWRP, but when i flashed the CM10.1 rom it boot loops. i have re-downloaded and reflashed.
Now im really just wondering if anyone else has this issue before i flash Kinology

When you move from stock to CM10.1, you have to wipe and format EVERYTHING including the two caches (except the sdcard, of course). The reason lies with the kernel.

i did. actually i believe i have found my error. there is a POST flash zip after the rom that i thought was the kernel alone.
im downgrading the kindle now, and trying again. otherwise ill give the kinology rom a try, though i was more interested in CM or paranoid
Does anyone know of a quick way to check the current bootloader version installed? (other than about device, which lists total rom ver.)

Hello, everyone!
Yesterday I tried to flash CM10 in my kindle fire (already running CM9).
I followed the Cyanogen Mod site (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_otter) instructions.
I downloaded Kindle fire utility 0.9.9 (from CM site), and started the process of updating TWRP. At some point of the installation, KFU rebooted my device in fastboot mode, and kept waiting an awnser from Kindle.
It was taking a bit too long, so I restarted the tablet. Now it keeps on the "Kindle Fire" screen forever, and don't respond to ADB anymore (the "adb device" command don't return anything).
I believe it is not bricked yet, because when we connect it to the PC, it does that connection sound. However, I can't reach it with ADB anymore.
Can Anyone give me an advice for this situation?
Thanks a lot !!
You got very lucky, kindle fire utility is not meant for second generation devices, usually using it results in a hard brick. The correct way to update twrp is to grab the latest version's flashable zip from the dev section for your device and flash it from inside twrp and reboot. If you no longer have the blue logo and it is a 7" device you will need a fastboot cable, if you do have a blue logo or this is a 8.9" device you won't need a fastboot cable to fix, but you still need to get it into fastboot mode to reflash some partitions back to stock to fix this unless you get a blue logo in which case you could probably just flash the recovery but from what you said I'm assuming you don't get the blue logo anymore. And only the 8.9" models tend to be detected briefly while passing the bootloader.

In fact, my Kindle fire is a 1st generation one! I had already used KFU to flash CM9 on it (before, it had stock OS) .
Do this fact help in any form?
And, about the cable, I will search one imediatly!!
Thanks for your reply!
O well then this is the wrong device forum on xda... If its a kf1 then I think fastboot cable will still apply to this. Not positive, kf1's aren't my specialty, while my mother has one I never did much beyond rooting and installing twrp. Flashed a Ubuntu touch preview os on it once but that's about it.

Hello.
I rooted my kfhd 7 10.4.6 successfully and naturally proceeded to twrp where it got stuck on a bootloop. Now that I have made a factoryboot I was wondering what rout I should follow to flash the rom?
Browsing the topics I see these options:
* continue the process installing the twrp...
* download a toolkit that allows backup
* install ADB
* get fff
Now I'm wondering if someone has just made a restore utility, is there a utility to just restore to the state of having a rom installed?
Also, since I don't care for restoring backups, is there an easier way to flash?
I really appreciate your advice.

Firefirefire is not for this device 1st off, you don't have a kfhd 2nd off. Kfhd is v7.x.x. You have a kf2. Kf2's are 10.x.x.

if your logo turns blue at this point, turn the device off and when you turn it back on hold volume up while the logo is orange and keep holding it even after it turns blue, it should then say twrp and go into twrp, from there you could push a rom and flash it. If the logo does not turn blue then i would put it in fastboot and use kindle fire first aid to restore it, and try again.
which rout should I go? restore or twrp?

It's been a while since I bricked. Perhaps it was 10.4.6 I can no longer access the settings the verify. But now that I have a factoryboot cable. I would just flash cyanogenmod. Now when I connect factoryboot it reads (in a fancy 3d text) "Fastboot" with a small "kindle fire" on the right side of it.
I originally followed a youtube video that had links for freedom boots, twrp, etc... to this forum, but then again I must have downloaded incorrect versions.. I'm not concerned with the date. So I'm wondering if it's easier to restore or continue with twrp.
Here are some links I was looking at:

There are too many guides, here ... which is really great. But the process of download, verification, transfer (to a pc).
If I cant brick this device any harder than it is, I will follow each guide...
stunts513, the fire logo does not turn blue. In fact I was taking a video when it was loading ... (it's a funny video about
a guy who bricked his device)
I had the same issue... I forgot to remove a script before flashing twrp. Maybe it is the same for you. Did you followed carefully the tuto ?
In my situation, I managed to go into fastboot (with fasboot cable), flashed stock ROM, and did the flashing process from the beginning..
Hope it may help

If you only have fastboot access right now i suggest restoring with srt or kindle fire first aid. Afterwards you can start the twrp process over again, we can't simply flash cm from fastboot, if everything else isnt in place like the stack file or the bootimg and a old version of the bootloader then it wouldn't work. Fastboot should be in utilities like kffa and srt

There are so many options it seems, but I think I know what to do now (please let me know if it's not a incorrect course):
First, download and Kindle fire first aid from here, to restore back to and then follow the instruction here in order to start twrp and flashing.

I have download and installed many sdks and drivers and checked md5.. while at it. kffirstaid does not really seem to connect with the device. And some messing around with the drivers did occur, uninstalling/reinstalling through downloads and through kffirstaid. It now announces as tate-pv-08 though a triangle is showing next to Android ADB Interface in device manager.. I think something is missing.. Is java sdk necessary? because it doesn't install ..
yeah
If I didn't mess around with my Kindle I would be reading through Dante's levels of hell which is more pleasant than all this troubleshooting ..

You should be able to update the drivers of the Tate device using the drivers in my signature and have then programs work with fastboot. Not sure why an adb device and a Tate device show at same time, the Tate device should be the one needing fastboot drivers for it to work.

Hi. Someone yanked out the factory-boot cable and I quickly ordered the scorpion king cable. I downloaded kffirst aide again and there's been a massive update. Running a restore showed all signs of success. But then after restoring it to normal boot, I get kindle fire logo showing and then the boot loop continues.
If kffa fails then try SRT.
Kffirst aide is in order

I have upgraded kffirst aide and in the middle of restore I do the following statements:
cannot load 'boot-prod.img No error
cannot load recovery-prod.img No error
cannot load system.imp: No error
However at the end there is the success message:
Success!!! The kindle Fire 2 7 has been restored to software version 10.2.3
and yet the bootloop continues to plague the brick..
That means the files it tried to flash didn't exist on your computer. Try srt, it includes those images.

KINDLE FIRE HD ONLY!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
I put together this tool for those that have tried to modify their system unsuccessfully and bricked their device. You must be able to get your device into fastboot for this to work. The easiest way is to purchase a factory cable or make your own(a $15 purchase or a little bit of your time is better than a bricked device).
The .img's in this tool were made from a rooted device w/ the su binary in place. There is no need to re-root your device, however if you choose to erase cache and user data(not necessary but may be a good idea) you will need to re-install Superuser.apk to gain root.
Instructions:
1.) Download the version you want to use from the link below and unzip.
2.) Enable fastboot mode. Turn off your device then plug into your pc using a factory cable. If the device is recognized by adb then you can use this command:
Code:
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
3.) Run the SR Tool.bat and follow the instructions. If you wish to downgrade system versions see instructions at the bottom of the post.
Downloads:
KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0 (seperate option for restoring factory recovery)
KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0- 7.2.3 (separate option for restoring factory recovery)
KFHD_SRT_v1.2.3- 7.2.3
KFHD_SRT_v1.2- 7.2.1
KFHD_SRT_v1.0- 7.1.5
I apologize for the size of this tool. The .img files used are rather large. If you want to use your own backup .img then download the lastest version of this tool from here. Just place your system.img inside images folder. It must be named system for option 1 or system2 for option 2
UPDATES:
4/20/13
-separate option to restore factory recovery and boot now on v1.3.0
4/17/13
-KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5
-flashing boot and recovery images now a separate option
3/21/13
-KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0
-boot and recovery images inlcuded
-SuperSU and GoogleServicesFramework now included as system apk's
12/22/12
-KFHD_SRT_v1.2.3
-System v7.2.3
-New option for installing Googleservicesframework.apk
12/17/12
-downgrade method instructions(confirmed)
12/1/12
-KFHD_SRT_v1.2
-new system partition backups for software v7.2.1
-vending.apk to phonesky.apk for newest version of play store
Instructions for downgrading to 7.2.1:
1.) Download boot and recovery imgs(these are backus from 7.2.1) from this LINK and place in the folder where you have access to fastboot or inside the KFHD_SRTool_v1.2 folder
2.) Use KFHD_SRTool_v1.2 to flash system.img.
3.) Erase userdata and cache
4.) Open a cmd prompt from the folder where you placed the previously downloaded .img's.
Use these cmds:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
5- Reboot.
Those who deserve our thanks:

My Kindle lost root.. So I downloaded and installed a super user... not sure what version off hand...
But its still not rooted.
I originally chose the option for the factory restore with root, Google Play Store, and the launcher.. And it was rooted for a couple of days.. I'm not sure if it lost root during reboot or not.
On a side note, it also no longer allows me to access storage through my PC. So I've been having to download everything straight to the Kindle.. Not sure if that matters... But I can't back it up because I can't save the backup files to my PC..
Any suggestions? Do I need to clear cache and dalvik for superuser to work? I've been hesitant to go into recovery mode..
Did it auto update to 7.5.1? That would explain why you lost root.

Yes! Can I downgrade? And how to stop the update?
Or better yet I'll poke around to see about rooting 7.5.1..
Its my son's, so while I've flashed my android devices a billion times, this Kindle is a whole other thing...sorry for the questions..
You can either downgrade and then block auto update (look for threads with otacerts) or root 7.5.1. I believe the binary method still works.
OK I was able to get it back to 7.3.0...and even flashed it twice and cleared cache and user data...
But now the wifi won't turn on. I tried to click on ...nothing..
Is there a wifi fix I'm unaware of?
Try pushing the recovery only to it.

Kindle Fire HD 7" overhaul
I tried to post this as a reply to "how to downgrade kindle fire hd" thread but as I'm a newb here, I was redirected to this thread. So here it goes...
I have a 2012 Kindle Fire HD 7" serial starting with D025, running firmware 7.5.1. I successfully rooted the device with the bin4ry method thanks to all the helpful members here. I am interested in getting TWRP loaded as well as flashing maybe a Cyanogen ROM. I haven't looked into the ROM's too much as I'd like to get TWRP on first... baby steps haha... So I saw instructions for getting TWRP on devices with firmware up to 7.4.8 or somewhere around there but nothing higher. Next step is to downgrade the Kindle to an older firmware. I have ordered SkOrPn's Factory Cable, should be here in a day or 2.
So onto the questions:
1. In this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 I see a list of system.img files to downgrade to. Does it matter which one I choose if I am going to be flashing Cyanogen ROM?
2. My next steps are to follow the instructions on that thread by plugging in the cable, run the adb command, run the SR Tool, follow instructions, and then on the bottom of the original post in that thread, it gives instructions for downgrading to 7.2.1. I take it those directions apply for any of the versions downgrading to?
This is where I am kind of lost as to what I am supposed to do from here. I am not sure what the SR tool accomplishes or intends to accomplish and the Factory Cable seems to be most often used as an "unbricking" device. I am not bricked, just looking to downgrade so as to get TWRP and Cyanogen. If there is an easier way for me to get TWRP and Cyanogen running without the downgrade or all this hullabaloo then I would be delightfully surprised.
So any help would be much appreciated

KFHD 7'' is not a KFHD 7'' 2013 KFSOWI ... bootloop fixed
I got a bootlooped kindle from someone and thought it was a KFHD 7'' it took me forever and quite a few attempts to fix and fails to discover it is a KFHD 7'' 2013 KFSOWI which it totally different. notable markings are no camera and angled edges on the back. also if you get to the point of running fastboot you will know as "getvar product" will return "soho-pvt-prod-07" instead of "tate-xxx-xxxx-xx"
i wanted to thank Red_81 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254&page=23 who pointed me to the Kindlesuite guys which led me to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685090&page=4 and the fantastic Firerooter tool it is super easy to use and does everything for you even has great help in it about updating the adb drivers etc.
just make sure you really have a 2013 KFSOWI version. i previously had it bootlooping, then red screen (when i used the KFHD SRT many times), and finally after trying Firerooter a couple of times got the dang thing working again. I ended up installing the 11.4.x then 11.3.x and wiping user data. I about fell out of my chair when I finally got a screen. So dont give up. I also had to get a fastboot cable.
I have bricked my Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd Gen. The device is stuck in what i would assume is a boot loop. I am wondering if someone can confirm if the KFHD SRT is compatible with my device and could possibly unbrick it. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I could not tell what versions the kindle were supported from the original thread.

Hi everybody
I've been running a rooted kindle fire hd for about a year with cyanogenmod and no problems. Tonight I downloaded the latest nightly update installed it with TWRP and re booted fine.
I kept getting google play services errors so decided to factory reset and clean everything up. Now I cannot get past the teamwin boot logo.
I see the orange kindlefire, blue kindlefire, then the teamwin logo flashes every 5 seconds.
Any ideas on how to recover this?
I posted this in standalone thread about a week ago, I've since bought a fastboot cable, which doesnt have any effect. I see Kindle fire on my PCs device manager so thinking there must be some sort of communication between the 2. Stuck with where to go now though. I know of at least 2 other people that have posted the same problem.

I was deleting my previous ROM to go back to stock. I wiped my cache, os and everything then went to go and install the stock ROM and my little one managed to power the kindle down. I turned it back on to find kindlefire logo on the screen but it doesn't go past that. I built a factory cable and now it displays the fastboot logo but nothing else, not looping just frozen on the fastboot screen. So the computer [debian gnome] can't find the device when using ADB. (ADB is working with my other devices) I tried to follow a post about using the fastboot cmd to install the system.img, recovery.img and boot.img but did not know exactly what I was doing at that point. Is it done for? or is there hope?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
There is hope. You could try following the commands in the batch file from this post.

I've never tried it from Linux but so long as fastboot is working you should be able to flash the 3 images and then wipe data.
Thank you sooo much! this worked like a charm. I downloaded the img files and loaded them to the kindle via fastboot then rebooted and wala back to a fully functioning kindle. Thanks for the link!!!!
Glad to hear it helped you out.
Help me please

Tried using the system recovery thread found in second post on this thread and recieved an unsuccessful. Am i done for.... Kindle just stuck on fastboot screen now
Does your device have the front facing camera and the mini hdmi port?
