I have a Kindle Fire that I have successfully rooted and using CM7.
I let the battery completely discharge and since then the device has been stuck in what appears to be a boot loop at the fire fire screen (I have a video of the problem but because this is my first post I am not able to post links, you could find it by going to graham dot doel dot org forwardslash kindlefire)
It won't turn on unless a usb cable is plugged in. When the usb cable is plugged in the apparent loop starts.
This is what I have tried:
1. trying to charge the device.
2. trying a hard reboot. Holding the power button for 20 seconds, doesn't make any difference.
3. connecting via adb, the device isn't seen.
4. Making a factory cable and trying to connect via that, but no joy there, the device isn't detected by the computer (windows or linux)
Could anyone make any suggestions about how to unbrick this device, I have searched high and low and have found nothing that helps or works.
Thank you
the repeatent on/off is typical - what happens:
kf tries to start - battery breaks down - kf tries to start - battery ...
the only solution i know is to charge with the wall charger for some hours (over night)
but if you plug it to the wallcharger it turns on
so press and hold the power button till it turns off to allow the kf to charge
Thanks. Pressing the power button seems to have no effect what so ever. Do you have any other suggestions?
i meant to hold the button till it turns off -> ~30sec
that it is off when on the wall charger
don't know an other solution - worked for a lot of others
I have tried this. the power button doesn't respond. plugged in or not.
Hello !
Same problem for me ... I let the battery completely discharge and since then the device has been stuck in what appears to be a boot loop at the fire fire screen... I plugged it (in the wall) pressing and holding the power button till it turns off to allow the kf to charge but there nothing ie no orange/green light... Do you have an idea?
Same problem here...
Here is my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22685015
Since it is quite obvious to me the device will never work again due to this POS battery, does any one want to buy it for parts? Or can Amazon repair it, even though its rooted with a custom ROM and recovery?
I have found a solution!
The problem was a power problem. I tired a different more powerful charger and It gave me enough power to turn the unit off and let it charge up.
Hope that works for others.
just for information:
the original charger is 1.8A - you should use one with nearly this power
i use a 1A and it's working fine - nevertheless i think that is the minimum
please mark the subject of the topic (edit first post) with [Solved]

I have this exact same problem on my stock KF. Powers on with wall charger plugged in (no light green or red), immediately shuts down when unplugged. Been through all of the forums guides KFFB and the linked ones by Kinfauns I purchased a factory cable attempting to make it fast boot on computer, no power at all. Doesn't appear to have any effect

I am at my wits end . Is there some type of battery failure that would account for being on charger for hours and not keeping the charge? or since it does boot up would it still be the software not in fastboot to allow a charge??? I plug in the wall charger, press button until it shuts off, and left it for several hours ( one last time going to try longer than overnight)
ok so i was surfing the web on my kindle fire wich is running android 4.0 and it just shut off. i have twrp and adb on my kindle and noow when i try to turn it on the blue kindle fre logo comes on for bout a sec and then disappears it doesnt help if i hold the button idk what to do i tried using kndle fire utility but the status is offline please help i love my kindle fire.
Yeah you have a flat battery most likely hold power button for a minute plug into your computer via usb for a few hours and leave it alone it should charge when mine went flat I was able to use stock wallcharger with same method and it charged but usb is recommended
ill try it

illl try that thank you if it works and if it doesnt thx anyways.
I installed the AOSP JELLY BEAN 4.1.1_r1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765288) the other day and it was working fine. The problem is, I used it too much and the battery died on me. Fine. So I plugged it in to my pc via usb to charge it up. The Kindle fire boots to the TWRP triangle and then instantly shuts off. Well I thought maybe the battery is just really drained so I left it plugged in and went to work. Got home and it was still doing the same thing; boots to the TWRP triangle and then instantly shoots off and repeats. I unplugged the usb and tried using the outlet charger; same thing. Disconnected and tried to turn it on and nothing happens.
Figured I maybe bricked it somehow (even though i didnt update, delete, wipe anything). So I tried using the unbrick command lines...nothing. Tried the KFU cant find my device since it shuts off every 2secs.
I cannot figure out whats going on. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Plug it into the charger and hold down the power button until it shuts off. Then wait for a 2-4 and check back on it.
Once it boots back normally make sure to update FFF and TWRP.
That didn't work. I plugged it in with the ac adapter and it wouldn't allow me to turn it off (i plugged it in then tried to turn it off). I let it sit for 8hrs and still boots up to the TWRP logo and instantly turns off and wont even turn on without it being plugged in. Thanks
Hold the power button down for 1 min it should shut off
it still does not work
Please post here some detailed instructions to turn on this device.
I'm tired of holding on and buttons in different combinations.
Sorry for bad English
If you have fff 1.4 a there really is no magic combination just simply power it off and plug it in via usb to your computer. If you do not have fff 1.4a then look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623244
Did u leave it to charge overnight.. cos i also had the same problem, which i primarily due to low battery charge..
Connect it to the charger and let it charge if possible overnight.. then try switching it on.. it shd definitely work

Problem:
My brother couldn't update an application in Google Play Store. He tried to restart the phone through Hold Power Button -> Restart but the phone does not turn-on anymore
Methods Tried:
1. Hold the power button around ten seconds. The phone slightly vibrates but still does not turn on.
2. Hold the Volume Up + power button for ten seconds. The phone slightly vibrates but still does not turn on.
3. Charge the phone using provided Asus charger and try to turn the phone on. Still, the phone slightly vibrates but still does not turn on.
4. Tried charging the phone for around 30mins and the phone gets warm. Tried turning the phone on but still, same results.
Please help advise for solutions or possible fixes. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, the bundled AC power adapter and micro-USB cable is used for charging. The AC power adapter output is 5.2V and 1.35A. Also tried to charge the phone for a few hours but still, the same problem is encountered.
Does the LED indicator light up when charging? Have you tried charging while being connected to a PC? (this will take longer to charge)

Sorry for the late reply, sir. Many thanks for the prompt responses. As advised by my brother, he tried charging it again using the AC charger for more than two hours and turned the phone on. Good news that the phone booted properly.
It seems that the problem is really about a drained battery. This issue can now be closed.
Thank you very much.

Hi Sir, I have tried it. But it is still not going into recovery mode. And when to connecting to charger the dead android symbol is getting popped up and the mobile is heating heated without switching on.
:crying:
Hi Sir, yur reply is very much necessary as i am stuck with the dead symbol even after battery getting drained and recharged as well.
Hi Sir santhosh_kv,
My brother's phone couldn't be switched on before and we just sent the phone to the service center. After a month or two, they replaced the unit with a new one. I think my brother got a lemon unit before.
Thank you.

Maybe there's something wrong with the system. Try flash stock rom using adb sideload. While in that dead android symbol, press power+vol up to go to recovery.

Hi Sir, I have tried the procedure u said. But nothing seems to be working. Please help me with this. I have installed the ABD divers and updated it. But its not working after re-switching on.
After using the phone until the battery was completely drained, I tried to charge it. Initially the indicator showed orange (suggesting it was charging), but after attempting to turn the phone on, it vibrated once or twice and the indicator stopped glowing. The phone has since failed to turn on at all, and connecting the charger no longer shows any sign of charging (ie. no orange indicator or on-screen battery icon).
Has anyone eno****ered this issue, or know of a way to fix it? Let me know if I can provide any more information, and thanks

add little more clarity. when you connect to pc does it shows anything in device manager? does it vibrate..
open back cover disconnect battery connector for a while a connect again. you can also try to put it on charge for a while.
