I screwed up and flashed a Kf1 rom on a kf2, and now i cant boot, and recovery isnt working.
With KFFirstAide i can flash a sotck rom backup, although i cant find one anywhere.
Anyone?
Fastboot cable might help. Other than that looks like a brick

So, I have FFF and CWM working ok, but I can't flash any roms. I've tried CM7 and stock. Stock freezes at the Kindle Fire logo indefinitely, and CM7 goes black and reboots in a circle. I do have fastboot working. Oh, also, after I unbricked my Kindle with a factory cable, I couldn't flash any roms, with similar results to these. Rather, I had to rely on a backup I had of Hellfire, and that got deleted. I've even tried to flash back to true stock with the unbrick utility. Nothing works, and I have a recovery only device right now.
Have you tried reinstalling CWM or installing TWRP?

Yeah, several times for each. I also just tried to install the Hellfire CM9 ROM, did no good. I might add that what bricked me in the first place was flashing an unrooted stock rom, but I misfollowed the instructions and wiped /system. Then I had to assemble a factory cable since I had no recovery.
Nevermind, fixed it. I said screw it since I had a factory cable and flashed a stock update.zip, and it worked. I'm just going to reroot this and stay on it.
Hi:
I rooted my kindle and installed aokp milestone 6 on it. Everything was fine until one day the kindle started freezing randomly. I thought that it may be a ROM issue I flashed it again with aokp. But the issue remained, so I thought I should flash stock ROM on it. When stock ROM was flashed it stuck on static kindle fire logo (orange).
I then used factory cable to flash recovery and fff boot loader. Till then I am unable to boot using any ROM. When non stock ROM is flashed, the screen goes black after displaying fff screen. And if stock ROM is flashed (both rooted and un rooted) it just displays kindle fire orange logo 2 times and just stays there.
I have tried everything including kindle fire utility and kindle fire unbick utility but no avail.
Please Help. I believe its just a software related issue not hardware related.
I hope I am correct.

sounds like its stuck in fastboot - i guess? but i am of little help really i dont have much KF experience.
can you use kindlefire utility, choose #1 Bootmode Menu, then choose #1 again in the bootmode menu which is Normal.
let it boot. should take a a little less than a minute on a stock rom i guess.
dont go hitting the power button or anything.
does it still stick?
KFU is broke btw with regards to installing twrp. the twrp.img file it tries to download isnt even an img file. its an html file that it just renames to twrp.img.
on the goo site twrp doesnt even exist for the link he gave. so it fails to install.
Already tried that. Kf is not recognized as adb with stock cable. It is recognized as adb with factory cable. When issued the normal boot command using kfu It just reboots and stays on the same kindle fire logo.

Hey, I was stupid and tried to install a rom without factory-resetting my kindle. Now I am stuck at the splash logo boot loop. I tried the unbrick utility, but it can't find my kindle. I have access to fastboot commands, but not adb. Don't ask me why, I just can't use adb. I don't know how to restore my kindle to a working state. I have a fastboot cable available. Thanks in advance. Im a noob btw.:crying:

Kindle fire 2 bricked

I'm guessing it's looping from the kindle fire screen not the cm10.1 screen, correct? If so, you can use the command, "fastboot -i 0x1949 -w". That will wipe userdata and cache. But if it's looping without even loading the rom that's probably not going to fix it.

Ok, I am now not stuck on the splash logo. i reflashed the recovery and boot partitions and now it is trying to boot, but there is currently no os installed. Is this a good sign that I can fix it? I am in slc for the weekend and cant flash the system partition yet.
Another question. I tried installing twrp on my recovery, but i cant boot into it. it wont show the blue logo. do i need an os installed to use it?

Yes. os MUST be installed for our recovery to function. Specifically a file called 'stack' has to reside on the system partition

Thanks a bunch. i restored the system partition last night, and it fixed. i plugged it in to charge, and this morning, it was back at the kindle fire logo. Did i do something wrong?
Doesn't sound like it.
Were you able to get it to boot back up?

Ok, I figured out it was a OTA update that re-bricked it. I am downloading a custom rom right now. I finally got it to work! Thanks for all your help.:victory:

Another question. I downloaded the CM10.1 zip shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963
I try to flash it in twrp, but it keeps saying error flashing zip
What do I do?
Sounds like a bad download. Redownload and adb sideload from pc

i got similar problems. rooted it, but i got afterwards some problems with superuser applications. ran sveral rooting methods, but at some point, it stucked now with the orange "kindle fire" logo.
tried also to use different recoverys (kindle-fire-ultility2, KF2_SRT_10.2.3) but nothing helped. i cant reach the device anymore. adb says: no device in list and fastboot: <waiting for device>
actually i use the supplied cable. or am i wrong to use it for fastboot. thought the supplied one is similar to the special fastboot cables from e.g ebay
/edit: sry, just realized after reading the FAQs, that the factory cable is a different one. sorry.
Hi,
I want to sell my kindle fire hd 8.9 so I need to know how to remove custom recovery and cm 10.1 and put the original kindle fire software.
All help is highly appreciated.
This tool can restore system images, I think it comes with the system image and you can get the recovery from a link in the op.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126
Personally I would download the stock rooted amazon ROM from the 8.9" android development section and wipe cache, dalvik cache, system, and do a factory reset, then flash that ROM, and then just wait for your kindle to update or just flash the stock recovery and boot loader from that post afterwards. If you flash the boot loader you are going to want to verify the md5sum beforehand so you don't hard brick it. Here's the link to the stock ROM u can flash but I think it has ota's disabled so you probably will have to flash the recovery and bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142241

If seems like a lot of work
Not really, its pretty easy to do for the most part, if you just flash the stock version in the android dev section and then download the latest update for your device from amazon's website, you can just manually update it via their instructions, and it will take care of the boot loader and recovery for you.

stock amazon
Flashed Stock rooted amazon OS 8.4.3, following all instructions. Everything seems fine (bootup, register kindle, scroll through apps) but a major issue I'm having is the back/home/favorites keys are not sticking on the side.. they appear shortly when entering a menu then disappear and I am not able to return to previous menus or exit altogether.
Anyone having this issue?
ps; I have been following Hashcode's thread since about June, flashing his updates with no issues. I don't have a backup for the stock OS.

Hey man did all of that but when i tried to do the update it just boots to custom recovery and wont do the update.Any advise >?
Wait you told it to update manually using Amazon's method after flashing back to stock right? That usually includes a boot loader IMG and recovery img last I heard, kinda would have to based on something I think I know, I don't understand why it wouldn't have reflashed bootloader and recovery, you can always flash that manually I suppose, but if its stuck only letting you go into recovery you should reflash the stock ROM again... I'll do my best to help you get he boot loader and recovery back to stock.

What version of stock are you trying to flash from twrp now, because if its the amazon zip I don't think it will work.

Ok here's my situation I rooted my kindle with kingoroot then I installed TWRP by the app and I didn't know how to open it. Then I noticed when ever I tried to upate my Kindle it directs me to TWRP so I used that method. I was so happy. Ithen downloaded the lattest cynogen and Gapps. I then went on TWRP I first did what any person would've done cleared the cache and data. then I resumed on flashng the rom hen it said rom is for Otter X2 or Kindle 2 or something like that it then went on an error, so me being stupid thinkng it was nothing i flashed Gapps and it flashed. When I rebooted the tablet. It was just in a boot loop of the orange Kindle Fire Logo. I've tried different things but none worked. Plz Help
