Hey all. I work at a retailer store where we recently recieved a Kindle Fire demo unit. The device is so locked down that I can't get into the settings menu to do a factory reset. I was hoping somehow I could wipe it with adb but I'm not having any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks All.

Howdy everyone,
I was trying to install a new ROM on my kindle fire using TWRP but I must have goofed and deleted something because I bricked my kindle fire. My Kindle Fire is stuck on the kindle fire logo screen and it stays there without restarting. If I hold the power button the kindle fire will eventually shut down. When I plug in the kindle to my computer, the computer reads it and I can find it on my Device and Printers applet but I cannot open in My Computer. I’m running Windows 7 Home Premium. I've tried using the Kindle Fire Utility and the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility and nothing works.
If anybody can help me unbrick … please please please help me out. Also, if you can write it out, step-by-step that would help me out since I’m still new to rooting.
Thank you.

how is it that you cannot get back into recovery do a wipe and reflash or restore a backup?
I don't know what's going on with it. I don't know what other info to tell you all but if you guys ask questions I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. Thanks.

I share the same problem as you, unfortunately.
I've also tried the unbrick utility, however i can not get my windows premium to recognize the device as kindle. Tried to inistall the drivers. No avail on my end for any of the solutions provided.
Tried to figure out how to install drivers as ADB composite, not sure how that is done either.
Still searching out answers, hopefully someone can give us advice and send us in the right direction.
If i find a resolution, i will post here to assist you.

I attempted to install firefirefire on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 while installing it, it rebooted my Kindle twice now the kindle wont come on at all, does anyone have any recommendations on what I can do or do I need to just scrap it and buy a new one? Thanks for the help in advance.
This thread should be able to help you. Sounds like the process failed somewhere and it got corrupted, but that doesn't make it a brick. Also, did you have a full charge when you started?

Actually, installing FireFireFire in the Kindle Fire HD absolutely without question turns it into a brick.
I recently rooted my Kindle Fire 1st generation to use Simple CM. I flashed it correctly and it worked fine, but to my surprise I recieved an iPad Mini as a gift. My parents asked for the Kindle and I said sure. Now, they wanted to go back to the original Amazon OS. So I downloaded a Kindle Fire stock zip to flash. I soon found out it was only an update... Now my Kindle successfully flashed it, I was setting it up, then it started to reboot, and it showed the launcher screen of Amazon, and then it gave me error pop-ups and it reboots after 30 seconds. I have been trying to get it to recognize on my computer but ADB and KFU aren't working the best. And now it says at 40% charge it will attempt to factory restore. (I will try soon). It repeats booting, then goes to the home screen, then it goes and shows errors and then does it again every 30 seconds. I am 13 years old and probably made a big mistake. I have read the threads on here and no solutions have worked. So I think it is bricked, and I have to give it to my parents by tonight and it has to have some sort of Amazon software or even CM. Is there anybody or anything that can help fix the Kindle Fire?
Thank you in advance, Jake.
You need to access fastboot to wipe data. You may need a factory cable.
In some cases, users have been fast enough to get into the settings and factory reset from there, so you may want to try that first.

Have you heard of anyone that tried that? I will definately try it being that you have 1000+ thanks on the meter.
EDIT: I attempted to factory reset but it still did the same thing..... How do I enter fastboot and detect the Kindle in 30 seconds?
I attempted to root my kindle fire with KFU and it hasn't powered on or charged since... Is it bricked or can it be repaired.... anyone?

It's still a WIP, but that's the only hope you have of restoring your device.

I'm not that skilled in soldering and besides i'm too much of a noobie to attempt that anyway... thanks for your help...
Hope someone can help me with this. I recently acquired a used Fire TV 2nd gen. I have no history of what's been done to it. Anyway when I plug it in the Amazon logo comes up and in the lower left corner it says "UNKNOWN BOOT" and that's as far as it gets. How would I go about flashing stock firmware to it to get her back up and running again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Amazon Fire TV 2nd Gen.

I am having the the same issue. Cannot figure out what to do.
Hi all,
I have a new Fire Stick 4k version which after a week just enter in a reboot loop. It never show Menu just Amazon boot picture and after that reboot itself over and over.
Is there a chance to do a reset to factory default using SPFlash Tool or using another method?
I didn't find Scatter file for this device, can anyone provide me this, maybe in private?
I can connect stick to my PC but I cannot activate ADB because I cannot "allow" my PC to use ADB.
Thanks a lot
You're out of luck. Since the device is so new, contacting Amazon for a replacement is your best bet. Good luck.
