My current situation.
Streak 7 boots after factory reset, asks for a password. there never was one. after numerous attempts i just decided to install another rom.
i have all the files etc and know how to flash it with clockwork, but i cant get it onto the internal sd. only the external. meaning clockwork cant detect it. im kinda stuck here....
I had this issue once, I wiped again from recovery, cache and dalvic as well and it cleared up. Also I use fastboot to install everything for roms.

sadly ive tried that repeatedly :L
Did you use fastboot to reinstall the system, boot, and recovery files? This or Nvflash will be your only way to get out of it then.

i could, if you have a solution to why it hangs at "starting fastboot usb download protocall"
and thanks for the help by the way. this has caused me too much stress lol
EDIT: And if you could help me with the fastboot commands afterwards that would be great. i know how to flash recovery and thats about it.
Its suppose to say that on your device.
Now plug it into the computer, install the fastboot drivers, grab a copy of fastboot.exe, and flash the images.

Giveen, I am trying to help fill in for those that have been around longer than those of us that are new. I have to agree with the new people that it is difficult to find the knowledge on this site sometimes and the list of commands that are needed to get going. I know I have spent many hours on google, XDA, TabletRoms and WIKI looking for answers. I do get that it is frustrating for you as a developer as well. Sit back and relax and some of us newer noobs will try to assist.

You need to do more reading here, yea I know it's hard to find info sometimes. Google every way you can think of for your problem and an answer will be found. You don't have a brick yet but you need to know what your doing before diving into this stuff. I spent a week researching before I dived into this just to make sure I knew what I was doing. YouTube video search, flashing Dell streak 7, at least I think that is close enough. It is a for part series on how to flash a custom ROM from Nvflash but you need to read and find the fastboot commands and drivers. They are here.

i have everything ready but fastboot commands dont work because the device is still stuck "starting the protocall"
i have the correct drivers etc installed but still nothing

That's what it's supposed to show till commands are sent from your PC. Do you have "still" have a yellow "?" mark in your device manager?
A quick function test is to type: fastboot reboot and your S7 should reboot.
And this is why I plan on making a fastboot video.
Hello!
I'd appreciate it if anybody could make a backup image of his KFHD and post it here. Pls make a backup after 2nd part of rooting, as it said http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930656

Yes you must have a factory cable to enable fastboot(unless you still have the ability to download and open an app with root access). Check out this link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20380015&postcount=9. They say they ship international and pricing is extremely cheap with what looks to be good quality. Personally I made mine, It is pretty simple if you have a spare micro usb cable, a 1k resistor, and a soldering iron. Just google factory cable kindle fire. Be very careful it might be simple but there is the potential to ruin your device and fry the usb board on your computer(at the minimum) if not done correctly. I do not say this lightly be absolutely sure of everything you are doing before attempting.
Works like a dream
Thanks for the image! I used it revive my dead kindle and it works!
Only thing right now is that my Date and time settings seems to have greyed out. I will need to figure this out as the date and time is wrong.
Also, i didn't use a factory cable - I had an issue with a blank screen appearing after the words Kindle Fire upon start up. So I got into fastboot by using the ADB: Fastboot reboot-bootloader

No you wouldn't need a factory cable but if the device is still working then the best thing would be to figure what mods you made to the system and reverse them before flashing an image in fastboot. If you cant figure that out and need to flash the system.img, the post above said they were able to get into fastboot through cmd window(though I think because the device was frozen, I was not able to do this with my working device, then again i could be doing something wrong). I know that if you use the app- Rom Toolbox Lite and under the rebooter section there is an option to reboot bootloader, that will boot into fastboot. Then you can use a regular cable.

Glad it helped. With the date and time mine are grayed out as well(think its like that from factory, don't remember noticing since date and time were changed during initial setup), you just need to select the right time zone and it automatically changes to proper time.
Also are you still able to get into fastboot via cmd prompt now that your device is working properly? If so what commands did you use?
cmd

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
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.

Edit; reboot The device again and it should boot into cm12 but once again im stuck in a boot loop and unsure of what to do the boot loop is just the cm12 logo it does not go onto the actual os

Yes the bootloader is unlocked, cmd is running as admin, adb and fastboot stuff is correctly installed, motorola drivers are installed, tried different cables and ports... I don't get it why it does not work and I'm absolutely NOT new to this business... Additional info: Running OPWS27.2.4, patch level August 1, 2018.

What's the file size of your boot.img? It should only be about 30 mb. It's not frozen it's still attempting to transfer the img to your device.

Thanks for your reply, the file sizes are correct, I tried these from twrp download page: twrp-3.2.3-1-payton.img (29.5M) and twrp-3.2.3-0-payton.img (25.9M) - same result.

I don't get it why it does not work and I'm absolutely NOT new to this business... Additional info: Running OPWS27.2.4, patch level August 1, 2018.
See the cmd screenshot below, it freezes there... Any help is much appreciated, absolutely don't know what is goind wrong here!

I have a laptop that doesn't work with fastboot, but adb is fine. Same cable and phone on a different computer and fastboot works. Maybe try a different computer?

Will give this a try tomorrow, thanks a lot!
Edit: Still no luck. Tried it with linux mint and even there the same sh!t... wtf
Ensure Motorola drivers are up to date and even try a different USB port.
With Windows, does it see the phone in device manager while in fastboot?

Latest drivers from Motorola Device Manager are installed and phone is properly recognized in device manager (used usb 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 ports, nothing changes, same behavior). I tried it now with mfastboot but still nope..
Are you using minimal or full sdk (by Google) platform tools?

Minimal, I have also a Moto G5 and I don't face this kind of problems - only with Payton.
I recommend switching to full sdk. You don't have actually download all the packages, just the platform tools and it keeps itself updated. I stop encountering these random issues when I switched from minimal two phones ago. Issues like yours are; 9 out of 10, driver issues.

The very next thing to try, would be reflash everything.
Good luck.

Unfortunately still no progress with full sdk and latest platform-tools, I'm giving up (for now).. I don't get it man, I'm not able to do anything in bootloader... for example when I try "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" it freezes at sending OR it throws instant failed, the bootloader log menu shows that something is downloading but nothing happens... I relocked the bootloader (locking and unlocking is no problem) again and I am going to use it for a while... otherwise I will do a mistake somewhere and will brick it... Thanks for taking the time to help me haha
I'm having this same exact issue, just got this phone (XT1900-1) for my wife and she wants a custom rom, my own phone booted into twrp no problem.

Maybe try the fastboot in that link. I read through the thread and no specific reason why they suggest that version but it allowed people to flash back to stock. I used it last week to go back to stock before Lineage.
No effect still stuck on "downloading 'boot.img'..." but thank you, should I try flashing TWRP without booting? Would that even work?
or maybe an alternative way to get TWRP like a rooting method or the such?
Edit: Im going to try a factory reset, who knows maybe itll work?
^Nope
Edit 2: ERRR ota update is also failing to install, all I did was unlock the bootloader, havnt been able to do anything else.. wtf is going on.. What should I do from here, lock the bootloader and try ota again?
Edit 3: Something strange is going on, the fastboot commands are failing randomly I just noticed, see the attached image... Im spamming the same exact command once every second and it intermittently works.
Sorry, beyond my expertise. Maybe it's USB c port on the phone issue? Intermittently dropping the connection? Or have to tried flashing the 8.1 sick from the thread I posted? Maybe the factory ROM is messed up some how. I honestly don't know and those suggestions aren't based in any real knowledge.
Code:
fastboot version 1:7.0.0+r33-2
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.40
Version 4986621
In linux mint do you have the same versions of the tools as above?

Had exactly the same behavior like you (especially Edit 3), I tried it on a different computer from 2013 with usb 2.0 ports and it worked..
No other cable, no usb port, no adb and fastboot changes and no other drivers - just put all the stuff on a other computer and run the commands from there :good:

Yeah, I'm on 1:7.0.0+r33-2 too.. I guess it has something to do with my mainboard or usb controller, weird weird weird
A different pc solved the issue.. wtf.. thank you..
I have the exact same issue, random commands are failing. I tried 2 different computers, Linux and Windows. It just hangs at downloading boot.img. Flashing either immediately fails or hangs and I can't ctrl-c to kill the process, have to disconnect my phone.

Yeah I wish we knew the exact problem and solution but you might just be stuck trying new computers for eternity sadly..
