Been reading for days, and cant seem to make headway, here is the story
Have KF-2 build 10.2.4 got it rooted, then it auto updated to 10.2.6, re-rooted with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.5.1, got google everything working to include google mail. Decided I didn’t like the lock screen pictures and copied framework-res off, changed the backgrounds and repackaged. Went into kindle and renamed framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.old. as soon as I hit enter got service fail loop. Turned it off and came back up to red triangle with only options of reboot or restore, neither one did anything. After much reading bought a factory cable, pluged it in and got to “fastboot” screen with a green flashing light and a red light. Windows saw it however ADB would not see it. Screwd around and opened kindle fire utility (I know now it is not made for KF2) and hit option two “permanent root” Kindle flashed turned off, to never come on again. Now the wife is doing the “I told you so” dance.
Can I get it back or have I totally sc***ed the pooch? I’de even consider sending it to someone.

I can help, although I prefer the freenode irc channel #kf2-dev If you are interested, just show up.
Give a try on Ubuntu
Can you get it to boot at all? My KF2 was stuck in a boot loop.
I could do a hard shutdown, and boot into TWRP. But, I wiped to install new ROM and since there is no SDcard, my rom was gone, too.
I got ADB to work on my Xubuntu laptop and sideloaded the new rom and Gapps.
All is well since yesterday. Great tutorial here:

Alright I'm sure you all love these posts... Well, I've been rooting for a while so I'm not really a novice, pretty embarassing this happened really.. So I'll start by saying my device was successfully rooted a little while ago. I installed one of the cyanogenmod roms at first, but the battery life was terrible so I reverted back to stock. I then decided to play around a little with the systemui to change the battery icon to something that actually displays the battery %. Worked fine for a little while, then it started to reboot everytime I turned the screen off. It started to get annoying, so I decided to revert back to my backup and the problem still continued. Then I decided to wipe everything and install the new rom just released a little while ago and as soon as it started up an app kept forceclosing so it wouldn't work. So I rebooted into TWRP to wipe and reload again but accidently formatted the internal memory. So I did some searching as mounting wouldn't work and used a tool KF2_SRT_10.2.3 to restore the files to start from scratch. I used TWRP to set it to boot fastboot and it installed without issues. Then it was stuck in fastboot, so I used the command fastboot -i0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1 while in command prompt on my computer as I couldn't obviously boot into TWRP to do it there. Then it poped up with the red triangle with the exclamation point saying something about the data is corrupt and I should hold the power button for 4 seconds to reboot or hit it 5 times to factory reset, so I hit the button 5 times to reset. Wasn't really paying attention to it at the time, then it powered down, powered back up and now it's stuck on the splash screen.
TL;DR, flashed stock system.img and recovery using KF2_SRT_10.2.3, kindle booted to error screen saying to reboot device to press power 5 times to restore, pressed power 5 times, kindle stuck on splash screen.
The splash screen blinked like it did before it booted to the screen where you choose to boot either TWRP or the system. Computer doesn't detect it. Any ideas where I can start?
And yes I'm 100% sure this is a Kindle Fire 2, came in black box and last I checked had OS 10.2.3. Hoping this can be fixed, if not I can probably get away with sending it back to amazon. I hope.....
You need a factory cable.
From there you can restore the system from fastboot.

Thank you kindly for your quick responce! I ordered a cable because I don't have my soldering iron with me here at school and I want this fixed as soon as possible. After doing some reading this should fix everything so no further replies are needed. Thanks!
So I teas trying to get a jb rom on here. I'm stuck at the blue boot screen and it never fully boots up and I followed all the directions but I'm pretty crappy at all this stuff. I forgot to put the rom and gapps on before and So I got into twrp and every time I try to get adb side load to work it never works just get caught at starting side load feature or whatever and never changes .
I know there's stuff somewhere on the forum but it's all to confusing to me. I've had this thing for one day and now I've got a pretty sweet paper weight
I followed a video by zedomax on YouTube
Not to good at cmd prompts either so be easy on me

Stunts did a write up on just this thing. This link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498 will get you fixed up.
1. To get into recovery, turn the KFHD off (hold power button for 20 seconds.)
2. Now turn it on and when you see the yellow Kindle Fire screen push up on the volume until the Kindle Fire logo turns blue and hold it for three seconds, then release the volume up button.
3. Now that you are in TWRP you can push the ROM and Gapps and will you be sorted out.
Didn't want to start a new thread, so I'll ask here. I had the same problem as the OP, but the thing was I couldn't get into the recovery. Kindle just booted up to blue logo, and then nothing happened. I tried to install CM, and everything was fine, but after having installed TWRP and 2nd bootloader I couldn't get into the recovery, and ADB suddenly stopped recognising my Kindle. I tried to install/reinstall the drivers, but to no avail... So I ended up recovering Kindle via SRT, and now I have 8.1.4 device (I went through red screen problem and at some point I wasn't able to flash anything even via fastboot)... I still want to install CM, what can I do to ensure that the recovery works correctly? Now Kindle is shown as portable device in device manager and there also is a line "android composite ADB interface", is it ok now? Thanks in advance.
I can't believe you pulled it back from the red screen. That does not happen often, good job. Did you wait until you saw the KF yellow logo and push up on the volume rocker and hold it for three seconds after the blue KF logo and let go? That's how you have to into TWRP.
Did you flag or push the files last time?

Thank you for the input! I think I did, I tried many times.
Well... I followed Hashcode's bootloader & TWRP installation tutorial step by step, so pushed the stack file and it went well.
Now my device seems fine running 8.1.4_user_1413620 and even rooted, the only issue is that it doesn't detect my home wi-fi network for some reason.

Hmmm, if that continues, you may have to do a factory reset to see if that fixes the issue and then retry again.
I've connected the device to another network, it updated and now wifi is perfectly fine. Maybe it had something to do with OS version. Now my Kindle seems to work flawlessly, and I can start experimenting from scratch

I rooted, some weeks ago, with Towel Root and have been running fine. Last night, I used something to let me add TWRP and this morning, when i plugged by phone in, the screen went all cross-hatchy, like a tightly woven Irish wool blazer. It would clear up if I rebooted, but would come back when I plugged it in, or if I let it sit.
So.. I did a backup and a hard reset, and it got a little better. But TWRP is still there. So, I made the mistake of choosing format, which I'm guessing wiped all including the current image, and now I can only get to the LG screen, with the notification light up top flashing blue to green and back again.
There are several similar options for re-imaging the device back to stock, but I'm not sure which will work for me. I'm not sure holding the up or down arrows, power button, and plugging in simultaneously, will put me into recovery mode and let me install a stock image.
Is there a magic bullet, like there was for the Galaxy Nexus? Install an App on the PC, plug in the phone, push a button and it just goes?
I'm dead in the water right now, so some direction would be appreciated. Unfortunately, I can't try all the variations to see which works. I'm hoping I gave enough info to go on.
Thanks!

You are going to want to go back to stock using the LG Flash Tool and a .tot file if you have the LS980, all other variants of the G2 use a KDZ file and the updated version of the flash tool.

Then if you get that cross-hatchy screen (which has been dubbed the "white lines issue") You will want to use Cloudyfa's fix.

In need of help!
I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus. I have been having many problems since it was rooted (will not connect to Google I think...? WiFi signal grey), but if possible I'd like to keep it rooted. I used Nexus root toolkit and SuperSU seemed to mess everything up. For a while after I uninstalled SuperSU it worked OK. Then later they WiFi signal went gray again so I factory reset this morning. Internet seemed to work (even though it was still gray) so I went about finding replacements for Google apps online because my Google apps didn't work(Google play, YouTube, etc). About an hour later suddenly my screen froze then my phone crashed. When I attempted to restart it stayed on the blue, green, red, yellow, X for 2hrs. I decided to pull the battery and put it in boot loader. Instead of what boot loader normally says it instead said "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" When I tried to use the volume keys to change the "Start" sign it did nothing. My only option (I think) was to press the power/sleep button to try to turn it on. Just like before though, it stayed in boot loop.
I'm sorry if this was too long... I'm new to XDA, could somebody please help me?
Thank you
Oh and this whole time I didn't have any form of superuser installed...
Can anyone help?
Does anybody know what to do? Please help me!
Hey all,
So like about a year ago I installed twrp and rooted my one m8s and couldn't care less to update anything but everything was working fine.
Recently I bought a new phone so today I thought lets wipe the device and factory reset it. Well thats where it went wrong.
After the reset it tried to boot but was just stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo.
I then held the power + vol up, which triggered something and showed an other logo for a second then just going dark, but the device is still on and backlit.
I cant get out of this for some reason neither will the device turn off. When i connect it to my pc it gets recognized but I cant get into storage.
Also adb and fastboot won't see the device and the htc_fastboot.exe I got from here throws an adbwinapi.dll missing error.
I am really stuck on what to do and i was hoping maybe someone could help me out here?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bart
EDIT: got the phone to turn off when the battery died and was able to boot into fastboot from there, lets see where this gets me.
EDIT #2: Welp I fixed it I suppose. If someone please could remove this thread since I can't
