[Q] ADB not working in Recovery - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My issue is, I was installing a ROM but instead of wiping only cache + dalvik, I went and wiped the entire Internal Storage. Now, there's nothing on the "sdcard". ADB doesn't seem to recognize the kindle in recovery and I can't ADB sideload or anything. Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

You need a factory cable. Then just use the system restore tool.

Funnily enough, that's arriving tommorow. What exactly is the system restore tool? Is it user made by a person here on the forums or provided by amazon?
Thanks.

Well, here's another problem. I was fed up of waiting so I went ahead and made the cable. It's in fastboot and says fastboot kindle fire. The problem is, when I use the restore tool, fastboot doesn't detect it either, it just says "waiting for device". Any ideas what that could be?

not 100% have you installed this http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and ticked tools then installed
reading your first post you may have already done this

Ok try this, when you get the device into fastboot switch cords unplug the factory cable and use the one that came with the kindle. You should stay in fastboot.

Try Hinzman's suggestion, the Fastboot cable is literally only to get it into Fastboot, once there, unplug and plug in your original USB cable.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately it's still not detecting it. I'm trying to find someway of ADB'ing through recovery but there's no luck. All I want to do is push a ROM, how hard can that be

Hello, So I'm new to the Android Operating system, a bit of a windows guy, but not so much for linux. I Rooted my Kindle Fire HD, got the apex launcher, chrome...etc... I was removing amazon stuff that i didnt want and I accidentally removed SetupWizard.apk I noticed my navigation bar was gone. Here's were the true stupidity comes in. I Deleted SetupWizard.apk, I then reinstalled SetupWizard.apk from a Galaxy something
Now when i turn on my device, it loads up, says "Setup Wizard has stopped" and contiunes to inform me this everytime I hit ok. Can't change any settings, and the device is not able to be switched into adb mode, but it is recognized as simply a kindle on my PC. Is there any hope?? if i could get to settings im sure i could figure something out.

Do you have a factory cable?
If you don't you can order one from skorpn
or you can make one if you know how to solder
Once you have it, it's easy to deal with your problem

The factory cable is a little different. But, you may not need one.
Turn your device off and enter the following command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
When you see "waiting for device" turn your KFHD on and that should put it in fastboot mode. In fastboot, you will be able to restore a stock "system.img" and repair your device.

Fastboot and ADB are two completely different programs that work in completely different modes. As long as your drivers are in good working order, you should have nothing to worry about.

I'll quote the creator of the tool you used to restore your Kindle:

He has a KFHD 7" and he chose the correct restore option, What makes you say that?!
It is okay, Don't panic.
But you really need a fastboot/factory cable now, Once you have it,
Let us try something a little different, You now have 3 .img files in you backup folder in C:\KFFirstAide\backup, Correct?
Take those files outside the folder now they are in C:\KFFirstAide
Hold down Shift and right click anywhere in the folder
Choose Open command window here
Turn off your device and then connect the fastboot cable, The device should power up and then fastboot logo is displayed
Copy and paste these commands in the command prompt window
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
Should say
sending...
okay (time)
writing...
okay (time)
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img

It was never actually confirmed what Kindle Fire HD he is using.
I've flashed my system.img dozens of times and I've never seen anything like he's describing. From what I've seen, and considering the system.img was sent, we're looking at two possible scenarios; there was a malfunction in prokenexxusa's software OR user error played a part in the the resulting outcome.
Of the two, it's generally safe to assume the latter.

[Q] my kindle is dead? help plz

hi all
I have a question, I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 with TWRP Recovery everything worked but the application nova launcher disappeared could not delete it or reinstall it so I did a wipe, but lost the root when you try to do it again had problems with coomand SU, with wire factory try doing a factory recovery with my backup.
appered after to restore a red screen and my computer does not recognize any new device
micro usb cable = kindle fire logo and red screen after
factory cable = fasboot logo and not recognize any device
not a problem for drivers is a problem with the tab
any ideas to fix?
tnx
Have you tried everything available to you first? This includes: factory resetting by booting into recovery and doing a whole system wipe, SD card included; see if you're at luck and ADB or fastboot still works by flashing the stock Amazon OS, assuming CMD still recognizes your fastboot.
Other than that, I'm out of options. I'd try to return it and hope for a refund or an exchange. However, you're only dealing with a soft brick, because if it's a hard brick, the whole tablet won't turn on at all, so at least it's not a paperweight at this point. I'd try to reach out to Hashcode or Soupmagnet or Reverendkjr on this forum and ask for help.
Yes, all that and tried
It sounds like your kindle updated to 7.3.0 the boot loader hack doesn't get along with that...read the last few pages in the boot loader three I think you'll fix your problem

this was the kf first aid tool that did this to me
There's actually a way I can think of, but I don't know if it will work. As long as you can find the bootloader files for the tablet, you can try to ask someone to JTAG your KFHD7. The process involves taking apart the tablet, using electricity to provide power while re-writing the bootloader so you can end up in fastboot mode. It's not very expensive, a regular Galaxy S3 takes 45-60 bucks and within a week. That's the only thing I have left for y'all.

Have you tried installing kindle first aide tool which can be found on a thread in this forum. I had the same problem with the red screen so I bought a factory cable, directed the computer to the KFF folder and installed the fastboot driver. After that the computer recognised my device and I was able to restore using option 3 of the first aide tool. Hope this helps. Good luck

Can you send fastboot commands to it? Try "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot" and see if it reboots. As long as you can send fastboot commands to it, you're good to go.

Bootloop Between Blue and Yellow Kindle

I posted this late last night after spending hours troubleshooting so sorry for the lack of details.
I thought I followed the instructions to a t on this thread. The only step I skipped was backing up my data. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
When my Kindle Fire HD booted, it would loop between the regular Kindle Fire logo and the Blue logo. Eventually it would then go to TWRP. Once in TWRP I tried numerous times to use the Boot Option, Restore Option, and Recovery option to no avail. When I selected Bootloader, I would get the fastboot logo and it would stall there. I had to hard reset to get it to start again. Every time I connected my Kindle to the fastboot cable and entered the ADB or fastboot commens, it would say waiting on device. I also tried using the Factory Restore tool below and that did not work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
When I connected the Kindle Fire HD to the PC, sometimes it would show as Android Device and other times it showed as PVT-8 or something to that effect.
Here is where I am now. The Kindle Fire HD no longer can boot to TWRP. It just looks the normal Kindle Fire logo and it loops indefinitely. My PC can no longer see the Kindle Fire HD at all. Is this a true brick or do I still have a chance?
BTW, I have multiple micro USB cables for all the devices I use. I am pretty sure the one I am using is the factory. How can I confirm this is a fastboot cable?
How did you get back to an orange only boot loop, it was easy to fix when it was blue... If it only is orange you are probably going to need a fastboot cable. Oh and to satisfy you with an answer as to why it boot looped, its because the newer amazon os detects the older boot loader or twrp, and refuses to boot, so you have to have a ROM ready to flash on the sdcard ahead of time.

Thanks. Anyway to confirm that the cable I have is a fastboot cable? Also, how would I go about performing a repair if it is.
If its a fastboot cable you would know it because you bought it for such occasions and because as soon as you plug it into the kindle it says fastboot in big letters. Once you have it in fastboot use kindle fire first aid and try a system reflash, I'm sure it would boot up without a doubt if you used an older version of the Amazon os, like I think 7.4.2 or older, but I don't know what version kffa uses, so if it still doesn't boot after doing that, try using the kindle fire system restore tool.

Thank you. Much appreciated. I ordered one from Amazon but will see about making one myself.
Are you trying to boot into Stock Amazon OS? That's your issue. Download a ROM and proper Google Apps package and either put them on your SD Card by mounting USB Storage in TWRP, or sideload flash a ROM, then you'll boot without issue. Don't forget to factory reset and wipe /system beforehand! I had this same issue my first time.

Why option 1? That is a different version of the tablet. You want to run KFFA and select 'completely restore the KFHD 7 7.2.3' This should be #3 of KFFA.
So once you have the tablet in fastboot, just run KFFA and go from there. Some files will download and then KFFA will push them onto your tablet. After that, your tablet will be stock and you can root and remove OTA updates from there. Keep an eye on your computer screen as the script will tell you what's going on.

Kindle fire stuck in Bootloop

Members,
I need your help for my KINDLE fire 7 " HD stuck at bootlogo. I just came back from work and switched on my KINDLE but it booted and got stuck at 'KINDLE FIRE' boot logo. I tried every possible troubleshooting method, like giving hard reset but nothing works. It switches ON and gets stuck at the LOGO. Going by the forums I know that I need a fastboot cable which I have already ordered and expecting the delivery.
Can you plz guide me how to proceed once I have the cable with me ?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Fastboot cord uses fastboot commands while in fastboot. This is the link to Kindle Fire FirstAid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 Once you follow the steps for setup and run it, you will choose number 3 to go back to 7.2.3 When asked if you want to reboot into fastboot, choose no because you are in fastboot.
You can use the regular USB to get into fastboot mode but not now that you are in a bootloop. After running KFFA to restore to 7.2.3 you will also use it to root and remove OTA updates then install gapps or if you are going to go custom romm with 2nd bootloader and TWRP recovery, skip gapps and move on to the latter. Do NOT use KFFA to install TWRP/2nd bootloader or any ROM. Use FireFlash.

So you're saying that you had a bootloop and you ran Kindle Fire FirstAide. Which numbers/options did you press? Plugging that fastboot cord in will power your Kindle Fire HD and send it into fastboot no matter the battery charge. Where did you get the fastboot cord from? A reliable source? I'm only asking because if the battery were low and the wire that connects pins 1 to 4 (think) that energize the Kindle into fastboot mode are somehow faulty, then this would stop the kindle from going into fastboot. However, if the fastboot cord is working, it would seem you have a hard brick. I will look around to see if there is a solution for this.

Thanks for help mate. I bought it from amazon and it seemed to be the most reliable source http://www.amazon.com/EarlyBirdSavi...ywords=kindle+factory+cable&tag=s601000020-20
I firstly reboot the bootloader couple of times like people suggested me. When that didn't help I restored it and like i gave a detail in other post that it took fair amount of time like 45 mins of reading and writing the .img files. Even the message was prompted that 'Your kindle has been restored to 7.2.3, the only thing is that all this while the display of my Kindle didn't changed and was fixed on 'Fastboot Kindle fire' logo. I was disappointed with this device from start due to that crappy kindle OS which made it way too slow and things kept freezing and crashing all the time. Since I am in colombia and used a freight service for this cable to be delivered, i ended up paying 30 USD for the cable. I don't think I will be sending it for repair , it just don't worth it the expenses for the repair and the shipping cost from Colombia and vice versa. May be will keep experimenting and looking on XDA if at some point of time hard brick issue could be fixed.
Not to ring up the past...
But, I cannot get my kindle to work with adb to save my life.
I have the adb drivers
Fastboot finds the device
Its stuck in bootloop so the only to communicate with it is though fastboot cable.

adb doesn't work with fastboot, only fastboot commands work with fastboot.

Reflash the system img. I don't know if you can make changes to an apk via adb.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, I can't turn ADB debugging on because there is no way to get access to the menu system. Is there another manner of fastbooting and of reflashing image you can possibly recommend to bypass not having access to the launcher? Again thanks in advance!
I'm not sure what is possible via fb other than adb. Try googling flash factory image & see what you find. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes,there is. The following commands will flash the boot,recovery and system images while in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img
Hi im having problems with my kindle fire hd 2nd gen. I rooted and installed cm12 or 13 on it and it was working well but i lost root so i flashed Supersu through twrp now my device is bootlooping on the amazon fire boot screen. I couldn't get into fastboot so bought a fastboot cable which has arrived today (2 weeks from china) now when i plug it in the device goes into fastboot mode but my windows 10 shows it in device manager as Other Devices Tate -pvt-08. I cant issue commands through ADB (adb devices just shows nothing connected) if i enter the getvar command i just get waiting for device. I've reinstalled the kindle device driver and still no joy.
I also made a complete backup of my kindle before i rooted it which i have stored safely. but i need to know how i can push them to my kindle and how to make my laptop see the kindle.
I'm struggling now and pretty lost with it all if someone could lend a hand and tell me what im doing wrong

Kindle HD 6' Bricked?

Hi, I am having troubles with my kindle HD 6. When I turn it on, it is stuck on the "fire" logo. The only place I can go is the fire system recovery. I have tried setting it to factory defaults, but have had no luck there.

hd 6 may be difficult to find a fix.
it doesn't look like anything has been posted about it on xda
doesn't look like it got it's own forum like other kindle models.
could this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793253
but not sure.

Hey, I appreciate the help anyways. Thank you!
Another quick question. I am using ADB, but my device is unauthorized. I cannot turn on USB debugging since my kindle will not boot the OS. Any solutions?

Nothing you can do about that.
If it was a kindle fire 1, I would suggest getting a fastboot cable, and flash a custom recovery.
You would need to know if your device is compatible with fastboot cables, should be, but if not a fastboot cable can cause damage.
What is a Fastboot Cable
Then you need a compatible custom recovery like Twrp.
Once you have twrp, installing stock ROM should be easy.
I will have to do some searching.

Ok finally did some searching, for some reason your XDA device section is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd
suggest you start a new thread in Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting , or I can ask to have this one moved.
doesn't look like the fastboot cable will work with your model
