I was trying to root my tablet today and ended up in a bootloop showing the amazon logo. i then got into bootloader and went to update the firmware to get back into the tablet however i accidently 'updated' to what i now believe was actually a lower firmware so now the screen of the tablet is just constantly black. I can turn it on and my pc makes a sound as if a usb has been connected then about 10 seconds later does the disconnect sound.
Is there anyway for me to recover the tablet or is it fully bricked?
Thanks

Hi, yesterday my kindle fire hd 7" started to update. and he stuck in kindle fire logo. 6 hours then and did nothing.
what can i do?
Sounds like a soft brick

Is it still on? I mean, if it's off, can you still turn it on? If so, when you turn it on, hold the Volume Up button right after you hit Power, so you end up in Recovery. Then factory reset from there.
Hi everyone!
This is my first XDA post. I need help with my Kindle fire HD 7'
I Soft bricked it while trying to root it. What is happening is that i can turn it on, but only the Kindle Fire logo comes up,
the after about 5 second, the logo goes away for a split second and then comes back but this time with the "Fire" part of the logo in cyan.
After this point it just stays in this position basically forever until you hold the power button. I have the factory wire for a fastboot, but the issue is that my PC wont recognize my kindle fire whatsoever. I know I have the correct drivers installed, but no matter what i do my PC wont recognize my
Kindle.
Please Help!!
Tl;dr 1) My Kindle Fire HD 7' is semi bricked
2) I can put it in boot camp mode due to the factory wire
3) No matter what I tried My PC wont recognize the device

Ummm... if you were trying to root the device,how in the world did you install the 2nd bootloader? And as for the driver issues,try using Ubuntu instead of Windows. It WILL recognize the device. @stunts513 please see if you can help this fellow out.
Ah thanks for the mention, I'm less active now that I got a job but since I'm off on weekends I try to keep up with posts at that time. Anyways if it turns blue then try holding volume down when you initially see the orange logo and just keep holding it even after it turns blue and see if it will go into twrp.

Thanks,we make a good team.
Hello all,
Total beginner here, my KFHD 7 inch just stopped working suddenly, I called Amazon who said I was out of warranty (13 months old) and 'kindly' offered to sell me another one lol. have never made any modifications to it so don't why it happens..turns on and just stays at the static kindle fire logo. I downloaded:
KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0 (seperate option for restoring factory recovery)
I used the factory cable and it goes into fastboot, and then ran the SR tool, I chose option 1 to restore to standard, process seems to go fine... upon rebooting with the normal cable I get a black screen, windows detects a device and then starts looking for a driver for OMAP 440 which it doesn't find, then I can't turn the kindle on.
If I then hold the power button down then press it, it turns on again and is back to the stuck logo like nothing happened...
Tried this process a few times now..
Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot.
Does your Kindle have the front camera and hdmi out?
If by front camera you mean on the screen side, yes the camera is front facing, Don't know about HDMI out never tried to output anything..But .I know it's the 1st generation Kindle Fire HD, so I guess it does?
I would go back into fastboot and flash system, boot, and recovery.
Got red screen after bad flash dont know exactly what happened so used factory cable to recover my kindle fire hd 7" from the red screen?
Plugged in cable connected to pc and kindle screen displayed fastboot..all well so far..
Then I used this programme KFFirstAide and used
option 3. Completly Restore the KFHD 7 7.2.3 (Fastboot)
pressed return on pc then programme started then said rebooting kindle, kindle screen went black (no fastboot logo anymore) and it stayed black left it for ages and it did not come on again, eventually I removed kindle fire hd 7 from pc and tried to switch on but nothing happened I tried to connect it to pc again with fastboot cable and nothing happened pc did not recognise it,tried the same with cable that came with kindle and nothing happened. Have tried with no cables connected and nothing. have tried holding power button for 20 seconds then push power button again for 2 seconds but nothing happens still black screen
Is there any way to fix this now? anything inside unit I can try?
I was given an old Kindle Fire HD 7" 3rd Generation KFSOWI - Soho completely stock and was playing with it a bit and decided to try the KingRoot app (NOT KingORoot). It was going along and got to 35% then said it failed and asked if I wanted to try again. I clicked try again. Thats when everything went downhill. It rebooted on its own then displayed the all white Kindle Fire logo then moved to the brighter white and orange logo with the glimmer moving across the screen. There it stays now. It wont go any further.
I have tried to use Vol - and PWR with it turned off to try to get to Recovery or Vol + and PWR for Fastboot but after the all white logo it just shuts off. Its as if the recovery utility is no longer there.
I do have a Fastboot/Factory cable I made a while ago and when I plug that in it does get to Fastboot mode. However in ADB on my desktop it wont see it there. If I plug in a standard USB cable to the Kindle and let it go to the white n orange logo then ADB will see it and brings up the Serial number but instead of saying "device" it says "unauthorized".
I am seriously at a loss right now as I have been googling to to fix this since it happened and all the ready made utilities are for other generation devices.
I have tried the usual holding the power button for 60 seconds to turn it off and then try turning it back on but nothing works.
Im just not sure what can be done with I cant get to recovery and ADB either wont see it or says its unauthorized.
PLEASE HELP!

Classic FireOS boot hang. Tough to fix on older (pre 5th gen) devices that do not offer a way to reload FireOS from stock recovery.
Unfortunately, this is not the correct forum for your device (this thread is for 5th & 7th gen Fire 7). You'll want to repost your question here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hd
