HELP Kindle HD stuck on "Kindle Fire" boot screen

Hi, advance thanks for you kind cooperation in helping me solving this issue.
My kindle was rooted to use google play store and was working fine until i decided to mess with the build.prop to allow more games to be played. I basically edit the file like thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727645; i copied the the file before editing and saved it on my fs explorer app. When i rebooted the kindle its just loads the kindle fire screen then 1 sec blink into another kindle fire screen , this time with animation going across the words and stays stuck.
I tried usb connection, but it will not detect anything and as a result i cant access the adb in cmd. i tried hard resets 20-60 sec and nothing.
Can you please help me? i felt good rooting it with the guide from the forum n i know your help will be much appreciated.

Sorry guys but any update on this prob :crying:

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm basically having the same problem as OP, but I got that problem in a different way. From what I understand, the "factory cable" will put the device into fastboot, at which point a system.img file can be restored. I had a couple of questions about this which might help OP too.
1) If the 7.2.3 update was installed, could the 7.2.2 system.img work. If so, is there a working link for it?
2) Does fastboot allow adb access as root (assuming the PC drivers are installed?
All I think I need to do is rename Launcher.apk.old back to Launcher.apk (I thought doing this would disable the amazon launcher and I could use ADW Launcher but I guess not). I guess in OP's case it could allow modifying the build.prop back to stock.

The reason I ask the OP if it is 7" or 8.9" is because you will need to get into fastboot to correct this problem if adb is not recognized. The 8.9 can be done without a factory cable but the 7" needs a factory cable if adb can't be accessed.
Now to answer your questions:
1. Yes it can be downgraded from 7.2.3 to 7.2.2, but along with the system.img being flashed you will need to flash the boot.img and recovery.img or it will not work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
2. Fastboot has nothing to do with adb and uses totally different drivers.
Hope this helps and sorry for the delayed reply

[Q] Problem with KFHD 7" after factory restore.

Hello,
Let me start by saying I have looked a searched through several other threads but cannot seem to find anything that mimics my problem 100%. I had rooted the Kindle Fire HD 7" a few weeks ago and have been going along with no problem. One day (cannot remember what I installed) the KFHD crashed on me and wanted me to Restore the device in a "download mode" type of screen (used the volume buttons to select restore and power to confirm selection.) The device restarted just fine and was working normally. I went through the KFFirstAide root process again, root checker told me it was rooted. Starting using the options in KFFA to diable OTA, install play store, install google apps, installed Holo Launcher.. Some of the programs did not seem to install properly and didn't like the way things were behaving so I went to the Settings/Device/Restore to Factory Defaults...
After that process finished I am not at an Android setup screen. It has a blue Welcome at the top, select Language below that, Start below that, and a green outlined Android guy below that. When I hit start it says Just a sec.... and eventually get the message Setup Wizard has Stopped.. I can no longer see Kindle Fire ADB in the Device Manger.. Nothing seems to work on KFFA.. I have tried using the fastboot command in a command prompt (says waiting for device) and never does anything..
Basically I would like to know, what steps I may have to take to get the device to load properly again, and hopefully root the device again. IIRC the software version I last saw was 7.3.1...
Thank you for your time and assistance and appologize if it has been discussed before, but I just couldn't seem to find it and not sure what this problem is called to be able to properly search for it..

Before. it says "waiting for device", you should have the kindle powered off and disconnected from the computer. Plug it in after it says "waiting for device" and it should boot into fastboot.

Yep, it is powered off and the cable is disconnected. I plug it in after it says waiting for device and it powers up to the Welcome Setup screen.the command prompt on the computer still says < waiting for device >

When I hold one of the volume buttons and press power on it says Safe Mode at the bottom of the screen. Might there be something I can work with in that? Is there another boot method similar to "download" mode on the GalaxySIII?

Sounds like you just need to get a factory cable and use that to get into fastboot mode. If the device is not recognized by adb using the fastboot cmds will not work on the 7" variant, that only works on the 8.9".

Is there a way to make on or do I have to order it?

Just ordered a factory cable ... what should I do when I get it?

You can get fast boot on the KFHD7 using the stock cable and adb by issuing the adb commands then running "adb reboot bootloader" I think it was. I did it this afternoon when coming off the stock ROM to cm10.1
Edit: n/m, I though he had adb but it wouldn't boot fastboot on a restart with the cable. Guess it doesn't help his case if adb itself won't show.

Since your boot loader is still starting up okay, when powered up with the factory/fastboot cable attached it should jump straight into fastboot. You can then use the fast boot command line tool in the adb kit from Google to push either a backup you made previously, or one from a recovery thread back onto your device. Check in the android development section, there's plenty on info on using fastboot.

Ok. I will try that forum when it arrives.. To the best of my knowledge, I had not created a backup at any time so I will search out something from the Recovery Thread.
Thank you

I am just 100% confused now.. I have searched and searched and everything I am reading is just making me more confused.
The cable will put the device into fast boot and will show up in Device Manager as an ADB Device.. I ran option 3 on KFFA and I don't believe the entire system image downloaded as now I am stuck on a screen with a red triangle asking to reboot or restore the device. Neither option does anything.
I have looked in recovery threads for fresh stock images but only find links and directions to TWRP.. Which, if I understand correctly, needs a 2nd bootloader.. And still will need a fresh stock image from amazon. Also, in KFFA it says to connect the device with a normal cable, not fastboot cable, in ADB mode for TWRP and the second bootloader.. I cannot get into the KF to enable ADB like it asks because I cannot get anything to load..
I have downloaded kfhd7-amazon-os-7.3.1 from goo.im and it comes in a zip file. I am not really sure of what to do..
I looked in the Android Development section of this forum and there are only 18 threads that don't talk about fastboot either. Do I need to go to a general Android Development section, not in the Kindle Fire Forum Sections?
I just want to go back to 100% factory original and start over from there..
Also, the KindleFireFirstAide dropbox seems to be overloaded and suspended, so I cannot get the images from there at the moment through their tool.

You didn't need a fast boot cable. All you needed to do was setup ADB drivers and issue the command "adb reboot bootloader"

Even though the device was no longer showing up in the windows device manager as Kindle Fire ADB? The Kindle was being recognized under Mobile Devices.
I don't know if I will be able to do that now that I used Fastboot to reload Factory Reset through KindleFire First Aide (option 3).. I don't think the entire system.img downloaded before it tried to install it and their dropbox server is down now so I can't rerun the command right now.

Solved
Found a link, finally, to onemeila's KFHD System.img Restore tool... Used the fastboot cabled and got it installed and everything seems to be running flawlessly.

Same Story Here...

[Q] kindle fire hd 7 red screen and stuck in fastboot

I have my nephews kindle fire hd 7 was using kffaide on it flashed it now when it boots up I get a red screen wipe across then it goes straight to fastboot and stays there is this a brick how can I fix this tried a few methods yes I have fastboot cable running windows 7 anyone how can I fix this to get kindle going again also I forgot to mention I have tried srt tool as well but still get red wipe then stuck in fboot mode nothing seems to work ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You tried reflashing the bootloader? If you haven't then try that, but please remember to verify the bootloaders md5sum before flashing it or your kindle could end up worse off(it wouldn't power on).

I'm going to throw my kindle.... I just typed a very lengthy description and then a stupid tapatalk notification came up right next to the post button as I was hitting it and cleared my entire post... Anyways i thought at first that was a signature but if this kindle is indeed a 2013 model then your first problem was attempting to isntall 2nd bootloader and a custom rom, becuase thats not possible on the 2013 model, also would explain why srt and kffa wouldnt work, their images are incompatible, so before i post any further instructions, please tell me whether i am correct because if its a 2013 model i think i can help you fix it thanks to someone posting the images recently but you are going to have to manually fix this, not too difficult.

im being told in another thread in xda it is indeed a 2013 model they our also saying to me about finding the images http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888&page=325

Someone just posted the images today if I remember correctly, think he was going to verify their md5sum or something first so I might wait. This is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2650596
I would wait till they confirm they are all good before using them but I doubt it would make the device any worse since it isn't flashing the bootloader or anything, just the boot and system partitions mainly. I might modify the SRT script to use the new images and post my own SRT to help out. I'm in the midsts of debugging a ROM I'm working in so I'll only do it if I have some time free( like when I have questions to ask and there's no devs available to question). Might even tweak his script a bit, not sure how it works but I may add a md5sum checker to double check that the images didn't corrupt if it doesn't have one in it, I know nothing is more annoying than flashing your device back and getting a error from fastboot about size mismatch or something.

i have the images how would I now apply them to the kindle I take it it will be with fast boot but how to apply them to get this kindle running again

Something like putting it in fastboot and open a command prompt, now here's to hoping you have basic command line experience. I would recommend putting the images you downloaded into for instance the same folded as the fastboot command in SRT, or if you have another fastboot command that is fine as well. Idk if SRT defaultly put its images in the same folder as fastboot, but if it did feel free to deleted them to avoid confusion. Anyways for the commands, CD into the directory containing the fastboot commands that you placed your images in. Now I believe this is what you want to run:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.IMG
Fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.IMG
Fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.IMG
Note that I am not positive on the file names but if it was incorrect just change the name in the command of the IMG file as it needs be. Wouldn't recommend flashing the bootloader unless you have to, bad bootloader flashes result in hard bricks so I avoid flashing it unless absolutely necessary, and also note boot is not bootloader, boot is the kernel+intramfs. Also don't flash the boot0block image at all. That contains that persons serial number, Mac address and other info, idk why he put it in there, its kinda personal.

im running cmd with fastboot now to flash the images my question is if you can help flashed stockboot image okay next stocksystem that has come back as failed fastboot is now flashing stock recovery but it just seems to be sitting there any ideas on how long the process should take not sure if something is up and not sure this gonna work if stock recovery failed any ideas worried about unplugging or turning it off.

Weird, recovery is rather small compared to the system image, I wonder why it was hanging. I normally don't advise on pulling during a fastboot flash, but what else can you do if its hanging... I would just attempt again. If all the images are in a zip check the CRC listed, and I don't know exactly how to do that offhand, think it depends on the program you use, think some list it in a column, I use Linux a lot and I haven't ever checked crc's, I usually go by md5sums. Sorry I can't be of much help other then say try again, this is kinda the only images we have as if yet and the kfhd2 is kinda new territory sorta so we have to see if we can get it working like we did on the previous one, really shouldn't be any learning to it since it is just a modified version of the kfhd7".

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.

My kindle fire hd is just staying on the beginning fastboot screen. my computer doesn't recognize it or anything. i think i accidentally deleted almost everything on it including the whole OS by using TWRP, so if someone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you need to install the correct drivers. Download and install the driver from this link:

If that still doesnt work follow the directions from this one:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/48023/fastboot-not-working-for-kindle-fire-hd

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.

Please help!
Help me.
I can't unzip any zip-files downloaded from google Drive as Links about.

As links about?

What about if i'm using a fastboot cable, and when i type adb devices or fastboot devices it still doesn't show up? I have the drivers installed for the fastboot cable but it just never shows up. I've been trying to use your tool to fix my bricked kindle that is stuck in a boot loop and has no system.img.

Recover from bootloop
As I am stuck in a bootloop, will I recover my kindle if I only restore the boot image?

Excellent resource! I now have Beanstalk Lollipop on my Kindle. Thank you!

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

stuck on Fastboot
Hello, I definitely have a Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 and I do NOT yet have a factory cable, but it seems like the tool is working with my regular cable. When I use 1. Restore-Factory Rooted with SuperSU.apk my cmd screen tells me sending 'system' (907264 KB). . . OKAY (317.060s) writing 'system' . . . OKAY (72.750s) finished. total time: 389.821s
Even though I have erased cache and userdata, Factory Recovery, and Reboot normally I still am stuck on the FastBoot screen..
any suggestions ?

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.
Regards
KP

Third install 2nd set of drivers if you need them/Used this tool to restore the kindle

continue to second set maybe the first set of drivers is what worked for me maybe you don't need them . I'll try to find the source where i found them maybe you need a different set that was provided
update* ok heres the source of the ADB drives that finally worked for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838
Your goal is for the unbrick tool to detect your device. so find right combination of drives that work for you. some people even go to thier driver manager and uninstall / refresh them from there. If it still not working try uninstalling all previous drives and do a clean install with the two i gave you

Fix...

Hello,
Fortunately, i was in the same position as you and that too, for a whole year and 3 months. But I was a noob at that time. With your fastboot cable to be usable(no drivers needed but just a simple program), you need to get (Minimal ADB and Fastboot. The link is provided for download. Now you need to do some research. For me I found out that the main problem was that it was a TWRP problem and nothing else. So I am guessing you ahve the exact same. You need to go to CyanogenMod Wiki(discountinued so you'll have to wait until Lineage OS gets their Wiki up and then figure it out) and from there find your device and then the installation instructions whihc include the downlaod link for TWRP. From there download the recovery(it will link you to android file host or something like that). Now you can install Minimal Adb and Fastboot(MAF) and install it wherever convenient to you. Now you can place the zip file of recovery in the folder where MAF is installed and rename it to recovery.zip for your convenience. In that folder, open the exe that says "MAFAF" or something to that extent(dont' have it memorized lol). Now connect your fastboot cable to your Kindle and it should turn on with a screen on the kindle that says Fastboot and then Kindle. Now on your MAF, you cna check it's working by typing
Code:
fastboot devices
or
Code:
adb devices
. In theory, you should get something like " recovery (device number[random letters and numbers])". From this you can now type in
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip
as done to flash our TWRP recovery. When this finishes(shouldn't take to long), you can detach the fastboot form the computer and device. Next, hodl down power to turn it off. Wait like 5 seconds after shut down and then turn the Kindle back on. This should momentarily boot into TWRP and then it will take off into your ROM or whatever OS you have installed. Now you should have not jsut fixed your problem but got TWRP to work too and from there it is easy to do stuff without the need of a PC. Hope this helps and feel free to quote me with a post if something didn't work or messed up. Sorry for bad grammer and spelling. Thanks!
