[Q] Replace bootloader - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i was trying the omap4boot but i flashed using the kindle fire utility.
Now my kindle wont boot up. Any ideas?

Use a factory cable to flash the boot partition

the bootloader its self is required to even get into fastboot so your only fix may be pokey9ks usb_boot method

This post is one of the more confusing ones I've read in a while. omap4boot refers to a linux tool and it's not meant to be flashed onto the Kindle Fire, so I don't see what role KFU would play here.
You need to give more details about the problem if you want to get some help. What did you try to do? How did you do it? What is your Kindle Fire doing now?
Also, smirkis is absolutely correct. If you don't have a working bootloader, the factory cable is not going to be of much use here.

RE:
Sorry for the confusion: I tried to flash pookey9000's omap bootloader, however, i flashed it wrong and now my kindle will not turn on or show any color on the power button. I dont think I can turn on the Kindle
What is the pookey9's usb boot fix thing?

If you're talking about aboot.bin, there's no way to flash it right, because you're not supposed to be flashing it at all.
If you don't even get the boot logo appearing on the display, you're going to have to use pokey9000's Firekit and hope that it can flash a new bootloader for you. If it can't, that means you'll have to dismantle the Kindle Fire so you can short a connection on the board and get it in to usb boot mode.

Kindle fire Utility should work even without being recognized (well it did for me after turning on and off 3 times).
Does the device at least get's the firefirefire logo? If so, this is what I did
-Turn your kindle off by holding the power button down for at most 20 seconds.
-Plug kindle into your computer
-Run the unbrick utility
-Turn kindle on
-Wait for the Caution Sign with the fire logo (firefirefire logo)
-Choose first option on utility (Recovery Loop)
-Wait... (a max of 10 minutes)
This should work, if not, try to turn off your kindle on and off, and then try again.
==========================================
Well, if that doesn't work, I know there's someone is working on "factory cables" which (I think) should fix this problems.
Wish I could be more help.

if adb is not working you still may have fastboot.
try powering kf off type "fastboot devices" into a command line. (open prompt in folder where you have fastboot installed on pc) it should say waiting for device.
then plugin kf to usb cable and power on if you've got fastboot it's easy, if you haven't it's a factory cable or a door wedge

Buy a factory cable instead of making one
If your unit doesn't turn on at all and isn't recognized by the PC whatsoever then that is your only hope

[Q] Need Some help with a bootloop

Hey guys, I'm not sure how I got my Kindle stuck in a boot loop, but I need some help getting it out. I have this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889 for unbricking. The problem I run into is that for some reason the utility wont show my device at all. In my device manager on my computer it shows the kindle as Amazon with the yellow triangle. I have tried everything I could find to get my computer and thus the utility used in the above thread to pick it up and get it out of the boot loop. In case you need to know the ROM I tried to flash before I had this issue can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614004 .

If you are getting stuck at the ROM's bootanimation and it won't go any further, your system software is broken. You'll have to get to recovery or at least into fastboot mode to fix it. If you have the stock bootloader, you have no easy way to get into recovery, so you'll probably need a factory cable. Read this...

Download in use Kindle Fire Utility from the development section. Use it install window driver for KF, install TWRP, and reset boot mode. It is the tool for you. You just need to study how to use it.

[Q] help With bricked Kindle Fire after edting build.prop

hello, im a pretty BIG noob when it comes to hacking and manipulating android devices. But i did manage to root my kindle fire and install the AOKP jelly bean rom. Afterwards i decided to try and get a few more apps to work with it so i edited the build.prop to try to get the app to recognize my kindle as a Nexus 7. Well it went bad....... really really bad.when i boot it up all i get is the AOKP boot screen except this time it is in landscape and never ending
Now when i plug my kindle in to my Windows 7 PC to Kindle fire Utility (KFU) it shows as adb status: offline and boot status: offline. Also when i plug it in and go to my devices and printers it pops up as just android (not android device). i have also tried to reinstall the drivers but nothing has happened. i am in way over my head and need some serious help. So if you could be of any assistance i would really appreciate it
thank you,

Try plunging into kfu it will say offline but try booting into recovery there, that may help u get into recovery.
Do you have FireFireFire installed (blue Kindle Fire logo)?

If you r Kindle Fire logo isn't blue and white rather than orange and white (or have the yellow triangle), you didn't install FFF.

If you don't have FFF installed as a way to access fastboot and change the bootmode to recovery, you need a factory cable.

Yes you will use it to force the device into fastboot so that you can use kfu to install fff giving easy access to recovery. Then its just a matter of doing a full wipe minus your sdcard or external storage and reflashing aokp.

[Q] Kindle Fire 2 completely bricked after flashing wrong bootloader.

Hi. So the other day I installed TWRP on my Kindle Fire successfully. The KF was at 10.2.6, I'm not sure if that means it's a Kindle Fire 2 or not. Anyways, when I went to flash FFF, I stupidly flashed the .zip as a bootloader, thus making my Kindle Fire completely unusable. When I press the power button, nothing at all happens. Nothing I do will make the screen turn on or the power button to flash in any way. I've tried using Firekit with usbboot and the shorting trick, but that hasn't worked for me. (I just installed stock Ubuntu to a flash drive with the fk file on root, I'm fairly certain that's all that needed to be done?)
Anyways, my Kindle is unresponsove, and the usbboot trick has yet to work for me. I really want to save this guy. I've heard the KF cannot be completely bricked through software/flashing. I hope it's true! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
if that is your software version then yes you have kindle fire 2, i'd wait for someone with more experience on here to post, but it sounds to me like you are going to need a factory cable

Thanks fro replying. I'm pretty sure a factory cable only puts it into fastboot if you have a working bootloader. I don't, so I don't think it would work.
I remember an instance where a friend of mine had a broken bootloader, and we used a factory cable to restore it, this was on the kindle fire. we had to first reflash the bootloader. I hope this is possible here.

I think you need a Factory cable to recover.
If you connect the Kindle to the PC and try adb devices in a terminal window, what do you see?
From the software version, you have KF2, as such you need to use the tools and ROMs from the KF2 threads. You could try to use the one click freedom boot and TWRP installer, to see if you can get that on.
From there you would probably have to push one of the 10.1 ROMs on, or the 10.2.6 recovery image, and then start again.
This seems to be happening a lot, and could be avoided if people read a bit more before using the wrong tools.

Howdy. I just fashioned a factory cable, just jumping +5V to pin 4, right? It seems to be doing absolutely nothing. No lights or anything are turning on. The freedom boot just spits out "error: device not found" and hangs on "Pushing Stack". Again, I was under the impression that the factory cable only made it boot in fastboot if you already have a working bootloader. I'll try loading into Ubuntu and see what it says in terminal. Thanks
EDIT: So, when I type adb devices into terminal, I get:
The program 'adb' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'
Could this have been my problem to begin with?
EDIT 2: Well, I installed ADB. There are no devices found when I enter that command, and the shorting trick with still doesn't work. Ugh.

Leave your Kindle plugged in for an hour using the normal cable, as it may be totally flat.
The attached diagram shows what pins need joining. If you can, make sure none of the other pins are shorting.
Hold the power button for 20 seconds, plug in your fastboot cable, power on the Kindle.
You should see some traffic lights on the screen.
If you can get fastboot enabled, you should be able to push the correct partitions back on using the partitions from the factory restore image, your backup files or from the recovery thread. Hope you get it running.

I tried the fastboot cable out on a working Kindle Fire, and it worked correctly, so I did wire it right. I did as you said, holding the power button down and then plugging in the cable, and nothing happens still on the KF2. I have access to the insides, should I unplug the battery? It should be around 85% charged. Thanks again.
Edit: BIG NEWS~ Not really. When I plug the Kindle Fire with the fastboot cable into Windows, it appears under Device Manager as "Unknown Device" with a yellow triangle, but nothing shows up on the Kindle, no lights or anything. Hmph.

In my case, I did by accident because it wasn't clear to me which KF generation I had (I've bricked mine just after christmas). These forums were not really clear either, I had a Kindle Fire so I just looked for a KF guide. After I bricked it I found out my device was a second generation Kindle Fire.

Nothing whatsoever.
I can't really send it back to Amazon, because of two reasons:
1) I already opened up the back
2) It was gifted to me from the US, and there is no Dutch Amazon, so I'd have to send the device back to the person who gifted to me, that person has to mail it to Amazon from there, and the replacement device has to come back the same way (via that person). That's not a situation I'd like to put that person in.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 8.9 stuck in fastboot mode

Hi guys,
I wanted to convert my kindle fire hd 8.9 to full fledged android device, so I followed this post: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fi...-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet/ Everything went well except that I kept getting stuck on white/blue kindle fire logo. I could however get into TWRP.
So I browsed through the internet and found about soupkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038 (Now I notice that I was not supposed to use it on kindle fire hd, d'oh!) I tried changing my boot mode to normal using it, nothing happened. Then I changed my boot mode to Bootloader and it went to fastboot mode. Since then I haven't been able to get out of the fastboot mode. I have tried everything so far.
Commands like
fastboot erase boot
gives me FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist) error.
I even tried changing the boot mode to 4000. Still nothing it keeps booting into fastboot mode. Any help will be appreciated.
Please, whatever you do, don't do anything else until you read this...

So basically it's unfixable at this point?
Don't think warranty covers it.
Does your device show anything on the display?

Fastboot logo, or Kindle Fire logo?

It shows white/yellow Kindle Fire logo for about 5 seconds then goes to fastboot logo.
You should be able to fix it using the Kindle Fire First Aide posted in the HD7 General forum.

I just tried it, it still gives me FAILED(remote: partition doesn't exist) error
I'm throwing a guess out there if kffa said that, maybe you deleted an unsigned partition? If it was signed your kindle wouldn't even be turning on. I'm not an expert at this particular kinda thing. If that is the case though I would think the only way to fix is to reflash the entire emmc to restore the partition layout, though I'm not sure if you can do that over fastboot. What do you think soupmagnet?

Thank you stunts513. Would you know how I would go about doing that?
Give me a few minutes and I'll post a link to a restore kit for linux

Sorry, I got caught up in stuff. Check your inbox.
I'm having this same problem. It goes to the Kindle logo for a few seconds, and then the screen turns red, and then it boots into fastboot.
I have been trying to unbrick my device for a day now with no luck at all. Nothing I try (KFFA, KFHD SRT, flashing stock imgs) works. I am getting very frustrated and I am starting to think that I will not be able to fix it. I just threw $300 out the window. I am an idiot.
Could u provide more details as to what happens when u try to reflash it from fastboot using those utilities?

You will more than likely need a fastboot cord but you can try it with the USB since you are in fastboot already. I am not sure if this will work with a USB cord though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 when you run it, use the one marked "Added a improved Root-Method by Ariel Berkman."
I'm having the same issue
