I rooted the kindle fire with the KFU, and was working fine for a few days. The battery got to low and now if i plug it into the wall charger it goes into the boot loop. Plugging it into usb port on the computer just gets me the green flashing power light.
i bought a factory cable thinking this might help resolve things, but when i plug in the factory cable NOTHING happens no power light, nothing comes on the screen pushing the power button nothing happens. I don't know what else to do.
If not plugged into anything pushing the power button does nothing. If i have it plugged in and pull the power it dies. I am lost, i just want to get back to the stock KF interface. HELP.
i am downloading the tools for the firekit, is this what i need to fix it? I didn't install FFF, or anything like that, which as i am reading now was a mistake.
Thank you for your help.
I had this problem recently but not as quite as bad.
Hold your power button for 30 seconds to ensure that it's completely turned off.
Have your usb cable plugged into the computer and then plug it into the device.
About a half second after you plug it into the device hold the power button for 30 to shut it off again and leave it plugged into the computer for at least a day. Of you're lucky, the power didn't drain too far to ever charge it with the usb port.
After that you're looking at replacing the battery or charging it manually. But you can forget about charging it manually though because it is extremely dangerous.
(Lithium + explosion = bad)
firekit worked...
thats good to hear because for many it doesnt

I've been going nuts with this problem, that if the phone is being charged with usb cable plugged in, when I press "Power off" the phone will shut down and automatically restarts itself.
If I unplug the cable the phone can power off fine, but when it's in power off state, as soon as I plug in the cable, it starts itself automatically just as if I pressed and held the power button which I didn't.
What's going on?????????? Please help.
Clarify: it's not that the screen turns on, it's the phone actually turns on / boots / starts.
EDIT:
Did a little research, my problem is the same as here:

I noticed with mine, the only time it started up automatically was when I didn't have the USB cable plugged in fully to the wall charger.
I think that the phone can somehow detect either resistance or capacitance changes in the USB connection and turns on under certain circumstances, while it is supposed to stay off if the resistance / capacitance values are "normal".
it's normal for the screen to turn ON when you plug in the USB cable
it's NOT normal for the Phone to turn ON from OFF when you plug in the USB cable
the normal behaviour for when the Phone is completely OFF when you plug in the USB cable it should just show you the green battery meter charging

The phone turns on.
maybe it's a defective unit?
have you tried going back to stock?

I doubt it's a defective unit because it used to be fine. Just happened yesterday.
Everything is stock right now.
try a different charger/cable. if it still happens return it.
I had this problem after wiping my battery status and draining it all the way down. After charging over night, I then ran battery calibrator the next day and when i ran it all the way down again and plugged it in the problem was solved. Hasnt happened since (since 2 days ago when this happened anyway).
very interesting
Mine turns on when I plug in a usb cable while the phone is turned off following a battery stuck at 100% condition. In other words, if my phone is stuck at 100% (usually every time after charging), and I turn the phone off, and then plug in the usb cable, the phone will turn on by itself. But if my phone is not stuck at 100%, and I turn the phone off and then plug in the cable, I get the green battery.
I was using my Kindle a while ago and noticed that the battery was going pretty low and not charging right. I hoped that it would resolve the problem by itself, but no. Instead, I turn it on to find it stuck in pretty much a tenth of a second Bootloop. It shows the FireFireFire symbol then goes away almost instantaneously. I cannot think of anything I have done to it. I was using Hashcode's 4.1.1 Jellybean ROM and it was working great. I have a charger that I do not know if it is a legitimate Kindle charger, but before this it was charging just fine. If you could help me, that would be great I would not like to spend another $40 on a new kindle battery. Thanks!
Leave it alone for a while and give the battery a rest for a bit. Then plug your usb cable into the computer first then your Kindle. As soon as it comes on, hold the power button to cause it to hard shutdown. With any luck, it will shut down and stay off. If so, leave it off and plugged in for quite a while; it should charge. If you can't get it to hard shutdown (keeps turning back on), sometimes heating up the battery a little will give it just enough of a boost to make it work.

I can't, I don't have a micro-USB cable and my mom won't let me go buy one...
How did you root without a micro-usb cable?
Please don't post questions in the General Section

thx but still brick...
Kindles don`t just magicly do this. You should provide some details of what caused it to be this way if you would like details on how to correct it.
That looks a dead battery. You're running ICS on it, right? ICS still has the charging bug and it hits everyone when least expected. Yours turns off really fast, which is concerning.
You might be able to get it to charge but it seems unlikely. You'll need to plug it into USB and press and hold the power button at the same time. With any luck, the device will stay on long enough to get a hard shutdown. Leave it plugged in for a while to charge and try to boot it again.
Now, I'm only guessing that's what's going on because I can't see how the device acts when it's plugged in, but it seems that's very likely the case. If it was a dead battery, it would just constantly reboot until unplugged. The key is to get it to stay off while plugged in so it can charge.
If you can't get it to stay off, gently heating the battery up a little can sometimes offer enough of a charge to keep the device on long enough for the hard shutdown countdown.
Hope that helps.

May be unrelated but updated to the latest nightly of Lineage, ran into the camera issues and got some random reboots. Sent an email, and then put it in my pocket, pulled it out a few minutes later and it wouldn't turn on. Have done the hold down power and volume down button to no avail. Used the USB cable to hook it to the laptop, see it in QDLoader 9008 mode. If I hold down the power button and the volume down button I can see it disconnect and reconnect but it never turns on or shows anything on the screen.
Spent a few hours googling it and looks like you need some hardware specific files to the QFIL method, which I can't find. So is this device toast? Was really enjoying the device and so sad that it died after only using it for about 1.5 months.
**UPDATE**
So the leave it plugged in to the laptop overnight trick didn't work. So I took the phone a part, when it's in this mode it seems like there is is still power to system. I left it open until the battery died, and the regulation circuit cut power. Then plugged it in the laptop(although a charger would probably work). Let it charge for 10min and it came back. Seems like it get stuck somewhere in the boot and needs to be reset, but without a removable battery you can't cut power. So if anyone runs across.this, leave it disconnected overnight(or maybe longer) until what ever state it is in kills the battery. Then plug it in and it may come back. My booted after being plugged in for 10min and turning it on using the power button
So I have the same problem with my device and am thinking about doing the same thing. What tools do I need in order to perform this?
I also have the same problem, is there any help?

So this worked for your hard bricked phone? And you had no more issues after?
My LG G7 seems to have died over night. I left it on a Qi pad to charge and after I woke up this morning, it was completely dead. I could not turn it on with the power button ow Vol- and power button. The phone shows no reaction.
I thought that I might have misplaced it on the charger (The phone is quite picky with the right spot) and plugged in my USB charger for about 10 Minutes until i tried to start it up again. No reaction. Tried Vol+ and Power and also Vol- and Power with no luck.
Then I started to investigate and plugged a USB power meter in between phone and charger.
My first try was a cabled USB connection, the power meter shows 5,1V with about 100mA (varying between 90mA and 110mA) and I left it charging for about an hour. Still no luck with any method of turning it on.
Then just to try it out, i placed it on my Qi pad with the power meter attached, which got me 9V with about 200mA, so the Qi hardware apparently is transmitting power. Also left it there for about an hour, still no luck.
I noticed some kind of buzzing sound coming from the phone while charging, if I place my ear directly on the phone. A similar but different noise is emitted by the phone when it is not charging and I hold the power button.
Does anyone here have an idea which might return the phone to life?
As I still have warranty, I consider sending it in. I have backups of the important stuff, but I would really like to avoid sending it in with all the private stuff sill on the internal memory...
What happens when ypu plug it into your pc?
+1 same problem.
Nothing show up when connecting to pc. (no mtp,adb,9008 and etc)
Long press vol- abd power button together
