I f*cked up by rooting it and then played around with the file permissions and now it says when I try to boot;
Kindle Fire System Recovery
Your Kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot. Resetting your device to Factory defaults may help you to fix this issue.
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
Reboot your Kindle
Reset to Factory Defaults
I tried both and it still comes up. please help me
Sounds like you may need to reflash your device. I think, although not entirely sure, you can use onemeila's KFHD System.img Recovery Tool in the Android Development section of this forum. That means you'd have to buy a factory cable though.

what is reflashing? does it have something to do with a computer? because my computer doesn't recognize the device as it used to now that it's bricked.
also, i rooted it, does rooting affect my warranty and will amazon know about it? after all it is bricked so they cant check that right?
Thanks a lot!

Amazon would probably be able to tell that you messed with the device. Reflashing is basically just reinstalling system software to the device. Yes it has to be connected to your computer and you have to be in fastboot which requires a factory cable. Once in fastboot your computer will recognize the device as long as the drivers you installed to root are still in place. The details to buy or make a factory cable are in the link below. Personally I made mine, it's pretty easy if you are handy with things. That said if not done right it has the potential to seriously screw up your device as well as your computer. So buying one for $12 might be a better choice for some.
After you get the factory cable power the device off, connect it to the device and computer, and the device should automatically boot up in fastboot. If successful you will see a screen that has a logo saying "fastboot kindle fire". Then you are ready to use the system recovery tool in the android development section mentioned in the last post. I am in the process of updating it with the 7.2.1 system software. Also only use that tool if you have a KFHD. If you have a KF2 you will need a backup .img from a KF2.

I just noticed in another thread that you have the 32gb version with 7.2.0. I don't know how different the system is from 7.2.1 or whether they can swapped. The only difference between the two is storage capacity. Theoretically I would think it could work. Actually I just read on amazon that the 32gb now runs the same 7.2.1 v. If yours isnt you just didn't get the update yet. So the process above will work. I'll be uploading the recovery tool with .img from 7.2.1 sometime today.

When you initially tried to root it, you hopefully installed some drivers in order for your device to be recognized on your computer. Those are the drivers he's talking about, which are linked in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838.

Hi,
I was trying to be too nerdy, and I deleted all amazon/kindle related apps form /system/apps on my rooted KFHD7"
After which, the device is no longer being recognized by my PC. The device itself became too unstable and so I tried to "reset to factory defaults" ! and hence I lost all the apps that I had installed via google play (included) as well!
At the moment, the device boots up, but has no apps, except an unstable ADW launcher, contact apps and settings. It does not connect to the computer, so I am stuck now. Is there anything that can be done to get the device back to working condition? Does anyone know if fastboot will work, given that the PC doesnt recognize the KFHD7"?
Thanks
Only thing I can think of is fast boot cable, it worked when mine wouldn't even boot up.....red screen...

If anything use the first aide software and restore to stock everything. I had my doubts about fastboot cable but if u keep messing with kindle ur gonna find urself needing one so getting it sooner than that would be perfect.

Like the previous post said your only option is to get a factory cable and flash a backup through fastboot. If you are like me though you may want to know the reason this happened. Well the factory reset on the device only resets the cache and user data partitions of the device, because you are not suppose to have access to change anything else on the device. So anything you changed outside of userdata, ie: system/apps, will stay that way even after a "factory reset". Good luck. After you get yourself a factory cable use fastboot to reflash the system partition, if you do not have a personal backup use the tool from this link:

Thanks guys for your inputs. I went ahead and ordered the factory cable over ebay, followed the fastboot instructions and was able to get into fast boot mode. PC now recognized my KFHD7 as a ADB device under device manager, however adb was not recognizing the device. adb devices always returned a blank line. Not sure why. Tried everything I knew .. restarting device/PC, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers etc .. nothing worked, and adb would not recognize the device at all
Then, I connected the KFHD using a normal USB cable, and all of a sudden, adb recognized the device. I followed the restore procedure using SR Tool.bat over the normal USB cable, and my KFHD is back to life.
Thanks all for your help

Glad to hear you were able to get it working. Just so you know fastboot and adb are separate cmds. The device may have shown up connected as adb device but that was just because fastboot can use the same drivers on this device. The fastboot cmd for device info is:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
So, finnaly solved!
After reading the whole internet (literally) about this problem happening to many HTC (but not only HTC) phones, including not chargind just when turned off, not recognized by computer (including adb, fastboot), going in car mode, I finally found the solution
Here is what I tried
Several custom and stock kernel and recovery flash, different nandroid backups, different roms including stock even clean install (weird, see later why), different cables, drivers, port cleaning.(RUU isn't possible as the phone doesn't get recognized)
The solution however was muck simpler, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and BAM! all working (at my initial arhd rom)
What I suggest (the order doesn't matter) from all the reading done before conclude it's a hardware problem is:
DO A NANDROID BACKUP!
Try different cables and drivers, even computers
Uncheck the fastboot option in power settings and reset
Clean the port with alcohool (or similar), with the phone shut down and then dry it completely
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Restore the nandroid backup several times, at some people this did the trick
Boot in safe-mode if possible (APM), this way you can check if it's a 3rd party software that can give problems as in safe mode only stock apps are available
Hope I helped
Hello,
Long story short, out of the blue my One doesn't get recognized by any computer, I tried 3 different laptops, all 3 with win7,different cables, latest HTC drivers installed, uninstalled and installed again, but no succes, even my One doesn't get the usb icons show up when I connect it to any laptop, BUT it does charge
Anyway I tried flashing another Rom,factory reset, kernel but nothing changes, adb and fastboot don't recognize my phone
Also the Icon appears when I connect the phone to an MHL adapter but no picture shows up on TV, it worked before
edit: when booted in fastboot it says fastboot AC, not fastboot usb
The get back to HTC solution is a no go as I don,t have any invoice of buying this phone and in EU is required for warranty
I'm currently on ARHD 41.0 kk 4.4 and Elementalx 10.10.1 kernel, S-off, usb debugging on, TWRP 2.6.3.4
What should I try to fix this? Thanks for any suggestions made!
I have the exact same thing, but the device is the HTC One V. It'll charge, but any attempt for it to be recognized as a usb device fail. I have figured out that the usb connector is bad.
Do you get a snug fit when you plug it in to a usb cable,or is it loose and wobbly?

I agree. It's bizzare. If it's charging fine and it's not loose, it doesn't make sense. I assume that HTC sync won't recognize it either? Have you tried relocking the bootloader and go back completely stock? Do you also get the Windows error that the "usb device has failed"?

No, htc sync does not recognize it, didn't try relocking and get stock. Have you? so I don't go that way without succes. Lastly, no windows error when connecting the phone, not even that annoyng beep sounds.

Crap. I just realized that relocking the bootloader is impossible if it can't be recognized as "usb fastboot" or "adb device".
That sucks man. It really doesn't make sense. Try uninstalling everything HTC related, reinstall drivers, and then reboot your pc.
install drivers again and see if that does anything.

I know it sucks. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything related with no succes. I'm thinking this could be solved (or tried) by terminal emulator commands on Rom toolbox, if it's not hardware related. I will backup my sdcard trough airdroid (it will take long) and try to format it

Is there anything you downloaded either to your device or to your PC lately? Does toggling USB Debugging do anything?
Like you said, backup everything, & then completely wipe it all. Like I said, my HTC One V had all the same symptoms, right down to the "Fastboot AC" message. To this day I still can't figure it out, but if I carefully wiggle the usb cable, I can get it to almost get the drivers installed, but it ultimately fails.
I did a little searching on the web & some guy had the same issues & for some reason he was told to update his Windows media player & it worked again. Long shot..I know.
Also..I know you said you tried a few different USB cables, but I would still suggest buying a brand new one and giving it a go. USB cables can be super finicky for some reason. They will charge, but when it comes to data, they won't work sometimes. Just a suggestion.

Man...this is bizarre. I wish I had some other suggestions for you. The only thing I can think of is that the data partition is now corrupted within the device. How that would happen though, I have no idea.
I found this write-up on the web. Maybe it can help you, but to be honest, I am not positive it'll help. There has to be some other more experienced veterans on this site that can help you out some more.

Well, thank you for trying to help, but it seems nothing that can be done by connecting to a computer (adb fastboot commands) is working.
I am pretty sure that the micro usb port is not damaged because this morning when I booted the One after 3 or so minutes (still connected to my win7 64b laptop) it was detected by windows, even both usb icons appeared in statusbar on phone, and pretty surprised I disconnected and reconnected it but it failed.Tried to move the usb connection in ever way possible without breaking it but nothing. You can't imagine the frustration...
I can't go back to stock as I can't flash the recovery or anything else from computer as I stated before.
As everything else is working perfectly including charging I'm afraid to try possible solutins without being able to revert them easily, so my cry for help is to someone who knows how to use terminal emulator commands and make something out of it.
Thanks again!

So I woke up this morning (after going to bed listening to audiobooks on sleep mode) to find my brand new flex would not power on, did not respond to charging, and I even tried to use paper clips on the two small holes in case it was a soft reset ability.
I had to leave on a business trip for a few hours, but before I left I USBd to the laptop, and it found about twelve drive partitions all asking me to format. My questions are numerous, but primarily I want to beg slash ask ;
1. Any advice on what to do?
2. Were those drives all related to the efs partitions in another thread?

What's the device listed in device manager? Sounds like your phone is hosed...Partition tables got messed up.
You might be able to restore it in Linux using dd. Can you get into download mode?
return it; if its brand new, dont mess with it, just get it replaced..
EDIT: I see you rooted it; what exact method/steps did you do?
I hosed my G2 a month ago. Tried 3 or 4 ways to bring it back but nothing helped. Lesson learned to back up EFS on laptop and phone before anything. I had mine swapped out but took a few days. Good luck.

Reboot PC. Try changing the USB cable; amazing how often this is the culprit. Also try a different USB port, preferably USB2. Avoid external hubs which can block tethered communications. If all else fails try a different computer.

is it possible for 3 Diffrent USB cables to be bad all at once one of them is relatively new and if this was not enough I tryed on my desktop and it too is not seeing the tablet If I had been the one that had the funds to by it I would have gotten a much more hackable tablet but this one was a christmas gift.

Probably not. Possible device has a problem with USB port. Open Windows Device Manager; look for any activity while tethering/untethering while device is in recovery mode (specifically the option that permits reloading FireOS).

Unfortunately, no as fastboot environment is crippled on this device.

I dont know why it dosent see the device when booted into adb but it dosent but it see's the device booted as fast boot so what could be wrong Also the adb sees it when its constantly rebooting from the boot loop but its only temporary because when it reboots it temporarly disconnects so any thing else I really want to fix this thing but dont know what else to do.

Assume you are selecting "apply update from ADB" in recovery *prior* to adb connection attempt. While a long shot also try the two wipe options although I'd be surprised if either changed the situation.
Good chance irreversible damage occurred when you tried to change the bootloader (vs ROM) boot animation. As the bootloader is locked on this device little more can be done beyond the steps previously outlined.
yes I tried the wipe options nothing changed as for adb update I tried while connected and when I tried that app I thought it was gonna change the ROM animation I dont think the bootloader was quite touched as it still says amazon and then shows the custom boot screen then reboots without actually booting the rom but yes the the rom boot screen was my intended change Good news I think however is I belive now that my cable is faulty because When messing with it it seems while in adb mode I get unknown device

That was the first thing mentioned and is often the primary culprit. Add your experience to countless others who dismiss or underweight potential cable issues. Also look for a loose USB connector (rare) which can exhibit similar symptoms.
