Thanks. Is the consensus then that this is a lost cause?

Try to find one that's cracked on eBay and swap out the mainboard

HD 7 Brick How to make Factory Cable

Hello,
My Kindle was bricked after using the system.img recovery tool to restore the original firmware to sell it. But it was bricked and say "Your Kindle cannot boot." So I need to know how to make a Factory Cable because I need one quick and im good with wires and soldering.
Also if there is any other way WITHOUT factory cable please tell me.
Thanks

Never mind. I called Amazon and since there are no trace of my rooted apps they are sending me a new one for free!

There may or may not be a way to fix it with some soldering, sdcard reader and a Linux live cd, i haven't been as active in the community lately so im not sure how the efforts went with the 7" model, seems like we had it working on all the models except that particular one last i checked. Outside of that a hardbrick is not recoverable.

Kindle 5th Gen Hard Bricked !!!

I have a 5th gen Fire and I tried downgrading to 5.12 from 5.32.x...it didn't work... I now have a tablet which doesn't show any signs of power... I've tried different software I.e. KFU and the Kindle Unbrick tool but no luck....anyway when I connect it to the PC I hear the sound of when I plug in a USB but then about 3 seconds after then it disconnects and then reconnects and so on but never shows anything on the screen it is completely black. My problem is that it won't stay on long enough to do any significant reflash or any kind of fix. If anyone can help me in keeping it on long enough then I could flash with its stock update. I may even have to solder some points on the board but that's fine so long as I can fix it....
Thanks in advanced any help is appreciated

I have ended up in the exact same spot after attempting a downgrade to 5.1.1.
I downgraded to try and fix an odd problem. I recently wiped my CM version back to stock, but when registering the device it forced me into Kid's Edition - I did the downgrade in an attempt to bypass that. Now it's just a paperweight/doorstop.

Sorry for your loss; device is unrecoverable. Contact Amazon for a courtesy replacement is still under warranty.

Amazon Fire 5th Gen (SV98LN) unbrick possible?

Hello,
i tried to install an older version of the original firmware of my Amazon Fire 7, but something didnt work.
Since then it keeps connecting and disconnecting from USB. This means, i can't do anything in ADB right now, because i don't see the device there.
The screen of my Fire keeps being black. No logo, nothing. I just know, that it is running somehow, because i can hear the (dis)connecting sound on my computer and also see some activity in the device manager.
Is there any way to recover it, or is it hard-bricked now?
Thanks for your help.
