I was given this by a friend who tried rooting it and flashed a zip file instead of the bin file. Now it will not power on, however I am able to press power and volume button and windows will detect omap4770 in the device manager however it will disappear and then reappear over and over. I've tried to install the omap4770 driver but that doesn't seem to get it to stop disappearing and reappearing. My friend stated the usb short trick should fix it, I did order the factory cable from Amazon to get it into Fastboot mode. Is anyone able to assist me, or has had this problem before?

Its hard bricked, and fastboot cables don't work on 8.9" models, and the USB short trick is only for kindle fire 1's, ironically it basically makes the device show up how yours is already showing up, as a omap device, but unlike how we can use the omap device on the kf1, we can't on the newer models because the initial file we push has to be signed by amazon. If you can exchange it with amazon they might give you a free replacement, but since it was given to you I don't know. If amazon won't replace it there is a method in development for unbricking a hard bricked kf, it was initially meant for kf2, but should work on all kindles, but the person working on it needs a kindle fire 8.9 inch to try to make the fix for it, its kinda like a hardware mod, he's working on making a solderless version, anyways if amazon won't replace it he might be able to fix it and it would also possibly benefit the community in general.

What exactly did did you try to do after installing the drivers, also was the device you installed the drivers to initially called something like jem before or after you installed the drivers?

What I did was the following found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106463
Cordless (APK)
Instructions:
Download
Install on your KF2
Open Tweezermod Installer
Press install
What about the device you installed, was it called jem, if so you should be able to get into fastboot by running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" with the kindle off and unplugged, then plugging it in after the command prompt says waiting for device. From there you can just reflash it.

What do you mean by saying your KF has not FIREFIREFIRE?

First of all, FIREFIREFIRE doesn't just magically install itself. What did you use to root the device? I'm sure whatever you used to root your device installed FIREFIREFIRE.
And your Kindle isn't bricked, it's just in the wrong bootmode.

the 4sec interval signals to fastboot mode! You got to enter necessary commands during to stay in fastboot mode and flash the custom recovery TWRP and than re-install update.zip(kindle update bin renamed). consider the link below for twrp and root manual install plus relevant commanline,those commands will help to flash and boot into twrp mode after installing it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24129239
P.s.remember to point to the directory containing the fastboot and adb command files in my case c:/program files (x86)/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/ ALSo, in future to factory reset the device, install the kindle update.zip (renamed kindle update bin file downloaded from amazon kindle site)
how do i enter the commands? with a program if so give me a link to get it plz

kindle fire utility 9.5
Remove and install your drivers for your kindle fire. Than install kindle fire utility found here in xda forums. Install and run the utility select option 1 and select normal 4000 boot mode. Plug in your kindle fire and turn it on. This worked for me. Booted right up just be patient it may take a few minutes.
what are the drivers and where do i find them and how do i reinstall them?

With all due respect, what on earth made you think it was a good idea to root the Kindle with such an obvious lack of computer literacy? Were you aware of the risks?
Your problem is simple to fix but it requires at least some basic working knowledge of a computer. Do yourself a huge favor and Google search "Kindle Fire USB drivers" to find out. And not to be hateful but I think it's highly unlikely that many people here would be willing to go through the arduous process of explaining how to install device drivers.
I would suggest doing some research on the matter and come back with a better foundation to work from.
Otherwise I think your best bet would be to revert back to stock and forget about rooting all together (requires research).

No never mind the previous post solved it I got the drivers right after I posted 2 days ago it is fixed and up and running now thank you for the trouble I forgot to post back :/
Well I've searched the forums and I can't find anything similar, which leads me to think I'm just missing something really obvious, but this is really frustrating me so I need help.
I'm trying to use the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6 to install TWRP and FireFireFire bootloader to my first-gen Kindle, so I can install Hashcode's Jelly Bean. I think I've got the normal drivers working as it shows up as ADB: online, although Boot mode: unknown is also reported. When enter "Install TWRP" it says it's putting the kindle into fastboot mode, but my Kindle seems to have other ideas. It just reboots normally and the utility is stuck on "waiting for device".
I've read one of your fastboot guides, which said that inserting the factory cable then inserting into a computer should activate fastboot mode. Well I tried that with what I think was the original cable, and it just booted normally.
I some small experience with rooting, but basically I'm a noob. I do have some Linux systems handy if they're required.
Any help would be appreciated!
Can't help much since i don't have a kf1..
But i CAN tell you that the ORIGINAL cable is not the same as a factory cable.

OK thank you, I didn't know that.
However I think even if I did get hold of one of these factory cables, it wouldn't help much as I need to get this program to work primarily...
any ideas what might be causing adb to be online but boot status unknown?
Personally, KFU v0.9.5 worked better for me.
Exactly the same result with that version, I'm afraid. :crying:
Are you using a USB 3.0 port? Maybe that's why. USB 3.0 is high speed, so maybe the connection got messed up...
How old is your computer?
Sent from a bird... No, a plane... Wait, It's a Kindle Fire!
I'm afraid that's not it... It's a 4 year old mid-range Win7 64 bit laptop. I did root my phone using this computer... I think I'll try using one of the XPs that I have on hand to see if that makes a difference.
Well I've tried on two XP computers and I can't even get the drivers to install.
Oops...
OK thanks for your input guys, you've been really helpful.
I feel really stupid now - my kindle is actually a kindle fire 2. That makes sense. For some reason I thought that a second-gen kindle fire was the kindle fire HD, and therefore mine was a kindle fire.
Sorry for wasting your time.

How'd u figure that out?
Well I saw everyone talking about software version 6, and I thought it strange that mine had software version 10. I then did some research and found that there were two kindle fires that look identical. Apparently one way to distinguish is by looking at the software version.
ok so i bricked my kindle and i have everything to fix it but when i plug my kindle fire hd in the computer dosnt pick it up. idk much but i read about some drivers needed so i tried installing ABD drivers so i would detect my kindle fire hd so i could fix it well they always fail to install idk why just dosnt install im on windows 7 and i dont even know if i need those any help at all is greatly appreciated
If its bricked it usually doesn't show up, you have to get it into fast boot mode with a fast boot cable in order to get your PC to recognize it. I saw u said HD though this is in the kf2 section, so I'm basing this on what I know about bricked hd's. I don't have a kf2.

In the past I rooted my original KIndle Fire to run Jelly Bean and decided to do it with my 8.9" HD today. The original was very easy but I encountered a problem when I did the HD... it's stuck on the blue boot screen. It flashes the original Kindle Fire screen for a second or two, goes blue and then stay on but doesn't go into the TWRP for me to flash the Jelly Bean 4.3 and Google Apps to it. It's frozen on that screen. How do I fix this? I've searched various posts here and in other places and ca't seem to either find or understand the answers I've encountered. Any help to fix this would be appreciated. I really need my Kindle for a lot of things I do in my side work and was installing Jelly Bean to get access to apps I had on my old one. WHen the old one quit charging as easily (it needs a lot of fiddling and pressure put on the charger from underneath to start charging), I bought this one and gave the old one to my step-daughter for games and netflix. Thanks in advance...
I wanted to note I have tried the powering off, powering on and holding for three seconds and I am still stuck on the blue screen.

Sounds like it flashed and it just needed to go into recovery because the os wasn't the same version as the freedom boot image if I'm guessing correctly. I think you just need to hold volume down when the orange kindle logo is displayed until it turns blue to get into recovery. Think its volume down, could be up, I don't go into recovery that way very often since I can do it with a command in the os on mine, but mine is able to boot up...

I hate when people get stuck in fastboot... Its possible it could be the idme boot mode not being reset, but I'm going to throw a guess that you will need to reflash the boot loader, but I must stress check the md5sum of the boot loader before doing so, you don't want a hard brick.

Google a md5sum checker for windows, and see if the string it outputs is the same as the one posted on the original file.

Well its around 600mb so I would assume if you have a slow internet connection it could take that long, but I wouldn't worry, if it doesn't finish dling you can always start the process over again.

You can always use another utility in the dev section, kindle fire system restore utility, if the download keeps hanging.

So i had purchased a fastboot cable to unbrick my kindle fire hd 8.9 out of a boot loop. adb read great, ran fastboot and got it restored finally using kfhd tool. then started to attempt to load 2nds bootloader and twrp and now it seems to be hard bricked! won't even turn on or anything connected with the fastboot cable now and was working flawlessly earlier. major help would be appreciated ;please please--------------------------

edit:- so what i thought was the 8.9" kindle fire hd is actually now that ive opened into hardware had come to be the 7" Kindle fire hd . So i believe the source of my hard brick via the fastboot cable (that was working so i should have known right there) trying to flash 8.9" bootloader, and recoveries, and imgs. Is there anyway out of this mess? the only avenue i could think to even work would be attempt the linux usbboot shorting trick withg the command prompts. only problem im having is find a tutorial or a pic confirming what i support to short on motherboard. all i can find is on different hardware with the kindle fire hd 8.9". ive ran the kfhd utilities but just runs as cant not load img or device not reconized. help..........

This is the HDX forum. not the HD. You will probably get better answers from someone actively working on THAT device, than you will here. You really should never mess with things you don't fully understand & you should NEVER use tools designed for older models or other devices. Older devices have different hardware in many instances, so everything is different. Flashing bootloaders or firmware for another device is often time a fatal mistake. I could be wrong, again check in the appropriate forum, but unless you have a custom recovery or safestrap installed, you are likely up a creek, short of jtag & to be honest, with the way the newer devices are, even that is a long shot.
The shorting trick doesn't work on the HD models, well it does but it doesn't, we need a xloader or uboot(can't remember which) that is signed by amazon when you start the process because the processor is a high security model. Only amazon and TI have those files and they aren't public. If it is hard bricked the best bet is to wait until we get the pinout for a 7"HDs emmc, once we do that you can solder a USB sdcard reader to the motherboard of the kindle and reflash the boot loader from linux and it will run again, so far we can do this on the kf2 and the hd8.9" model but we still are waiting for the 7" HD pin out.
