[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,
Topher

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.

Thank You All

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Problem

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.

Kindle Fire BRICKED (Boot Loop?) Need Help BAD

A couple weeks ago i rooted my Kindle fire. Sadly I had no idea what I was doing. I have gone throught countless troubleshooting forums, programs, KFU, Kindle Fire unbricker. I cant access the SD or much less anything in the device. When i turn it on all that happens is the "Kindle Fire" logo pops up. When i run KFU It says ADB is online but boot status is unknown. I can NOT RUN ADB SHELL and get the error message
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
I also get the occasionaly running other commands.
Please help me I have no idea what I'm doing.

That's a KF1. You'll need a factory cable since you don't have access to the shell in order to change bootmodes.

[Q] Possibly bricked Kindle...

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?

Well, that depends...
Is your Kindle Fire a second generation Kindle Fire?

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

[Q] Wiped Kindle Fire

Hello.
I have just received a fully wiped Kindle Fire from someone and asked to see if I could make it work again. The thing is, it has absolutely nothing on it and my computers do not seem to be able to connect to it via USB so that I can copy CM10.2 on it's internal SD. Do you guys have any idea about how I could make this Kindle work again?
Thanks.

As it's booting, hold the power button until the recovery option is selected the the bottom. Will it boot into recovery?
