I have a Kindle Fire HD 7'' (According to this is the 2012 version).
I followed this tutorial and something went wrong,I'm now in a bootloop.(My error,I think, is that I forgot the stack override check,damn me! ).
Anyway KFHD System.img Restore tool is what he suggest to unbrick the device,but it's not working in my case.
I even tried the KFFirstAide tool,but it didn't work either.
My actual situation is changed,I think I still have a bootloop(If Kindle is plugged in with my pc it's connecting and disconnecting in loop),but I only see the Kindle logo once,followed by the Fastboot logo and then by only a black screen.
When the Kindle is discharged if I plug the usb in I can see the battery logo.
Other info that can maybe be useful:I also tried to flash images using fastboot directly without any tool and when I gave the command to erase user data and cache
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 -w
the command reported : erase successful but not automatically formatting.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
Can you boot into TWRP?

No,fastboot is the only thing working right now.
If you made backups of your system,boot and recovery partitions before flashing,you can restore them by following seokhun's thread.

Disclaimer - I am not an expert at this, and what follows is simply a description of what worked for me!
I had the same problem and for the same reasons last night (unless my model is slightly different, I'm not 100% sure). These tools didn't work for me, either. But I found the solution - I downloaded the full update bin from amazon (update-kindle-7.4.6_D025_4620220.bin), unzipped it, and flashed the files boot-prod.img (to boot), MLO-pvt (to xloader), u-boot-prod.bin (to bootloader) and recovery-prod.img (to recovery) using fastboot (fastboot -i 0x1494 xloader MLO-pvt, for example). Then I could boot to android. My system partition had a valid android system on it already - if yours doesn't you would need to flash a stock system.img (from where, I don't know, the file I mentioned had a system/ folder rather than an img file)
Perhaps there is something else going on for you, it's so hard to tell because there are no visible error codes like you would have on a windows blue screen, or a linux boot log, for example. I really wish tablet devs would include such things

Nope,not working I've tried without flashing any system and flashing system.img that comes with KFHD restore tool,but nothing worked.
I also tried to make a system.img from the system folder from the downloaded file,but it did not work(I'm not sure I've done the .img in the right way though).

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

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.

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

...but, I've rarely seen this situation turn out for the better.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

So well recently i had been messing around with my kindle fire hd running 11.3 firmware and bricked it by messing with the system. I am currently stuck on the kf bootlogo every time i power on. i have purchased a factory cable from ebay, and when i plugged it into my pc it went straight into fastboot. im not really sure on what to do now. tried so many forums but nothing seems to work. please someone help me to restore to stock firmware or unbrick it. please guyss! will be so grateful!
thanksss

You need to flash a system image to it to fix it, unfortunately I don't know where to get hold of a 2013 one, but it should be fixable. The 2012 images wouldn't be compatible so don't bother with trying them.

You would run something like this
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.img
but you will need the images and the fastboot command.

Thanks again man, but can you please provide the images and the commands, cant seem to find them anywhere. when you mean run the code, you mean using terminal right? sorry for all the hassle, kinda new to this whole rooting thing.
ps; will i be able to use KFFAIDE to help me? everytime i run a command, it says "device not reccognized" and similar quotes.
thanks mate for the help!
As far as I know kffa doesn't support the new HD model, and I don't know where to get images for it. If someone else with a rooted device would simply just dd a copy of their system partition and host it, it would be very useful... And yes you run it from a terminal/command prompt.

So that means I would have to wait a while for someone to do a copy? that would be in, say a few months right?

With the number of bricks this device has had, I'm suprised no one has done this already. If only I could get my hands on my mom's KFHD 2013..

Hi,
I hope I can find some help. I have already searched this forum and some others but could not get a real picture what to do next (probably my Mac could be a problem here...)
I got a Kindle Tate (7" 2012) with 7.4.9.
I rooted it but did neither install a second bootloader nor a custom ROM. Only rooted and play store installed.
Today I tried to apply the wallpaper fix which changes the framework-res.apk file.
I looked at the shell script as my mac did not have the XML tool needed and so I replaced the value myself.
It seems now that the file got somehow corrupted and the Kindle is only booting to System recovery screen with red triangle now.
Of course the recovery does not help
I do not yet own a fastboot cable (unknown how to get one in Germany and I am not able to solder one - maybe the one on ebay.de stating for "Kindle Fire" could work)
On my Mac adb does not recognize the device and neither does fastboot (but ok I only got a standard cable)
What could I do next? At the moment I only got a windows running in VirtualBox which does not help as the Kindle is not recognized by the mac and can therefore not been forwarded to Win emulation.
Fastboot should as far as I understand also work from Mac if the device could boot there...
I Requested that this be moved to Kindle Fire HD 7" Q and A

No, worries by me.
You just may not get the help you need in this section.
I'm sure a mod will move thread shortly.

Not sure about Mac but I know you will need a fastboot cord. There's no way around that. You need to flash the factory images via fastboot. You can use SRT to restore as well.

Thanks the cable arrives today.
Kindle is now working again, just had to flash the "system" image.
Had a little trouble with that as fastboot on mac seems to be buggy sending commands (at least there is a open bug on that) - there was no output the first try (did not even know that there should be one...) but after rebooting fastboot mode again and reconnecting it flashed the system in 6 minutes.
