PROBLEM KFHD 8.9 2nd Gen RED BOOT

I am an Android noob but I'm no stranger to hacking/modding. Well anyway while trying to unlock my KFHD 8.9 2nd Gen's bootloader to install TWRP or CWM I failed. It now boots to a red screen. I've tried restoring through ADB, ADB (Fastboot), KFFA, and KF-SRT. Nothing works tried all firmware and all options. the only thing I can do is get my device to communicate in fastboot mode. Does anyone have any info they can share to help out? Please and thank you.

You need to restore the stock boot loader, go here and download the 8.1.4 stock boot loader and I can't stress enough to verify the md5sum matches the one listed, if it doesn't you could end up with a hard brick. Anyways from there its as simple as running
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin

Thank yo so much. I'm gonna try this now.

Okay so I tried it and now it boots dirrevtly into fastboot withor without cable inserted.

Um you did check the md5sum first right? Please make sure the device is showing up on your PC, and I would try something simple like
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
that might get it out of fastboot loop, if not restore the system and recovery partitions again.

Okay after flashing my recovery I restored my other partitions via Kindle Fire First Aide and it worked like a charm. Now I got a new issue but Im gonna hafta make a new thread for that.

[Q] Htc One Soft Brick

Is there a way to flash a custom om once bricked in order to get out of it? i have twrp installed but i cant push tiktak with adb commands. Ive tied for the longest to no avail. Im rooted and have s-off so im not completely oblivious to this process. Is there a down;load mode similar to samsung devices where the rom doesnt have to be downloaded previously?

How exactly are you trying to push with adb?

I cant load android so i try to push/side load tiktak while in clockwork and also in twrp but my device wasnt recognized.
I used the command
adb sideload tiktak.zip
im sure that the drivers are installed correctly as i ca use fast boot commands

What about fastboot?
If it sees the device in fastboot, try fastboot flash zip nameoffile.zip

Without more info I can't really suggest much of anything else.
Are the files in the fastboot adb working directory?
Are you running the commands from that directory?
What errors does adb give?
What error does fastboot give?
Terminal output...?

i was able to use fastboot in order to install clockwork and eventually twrp so fastboot is working.
i do fastboot devices and i see my phone yet when i do adb devices it would not.
i cant even run the adb commands. I tried a quick push tool and it would recognize adb from the bootloader.

Thank you Santod

[Q] Kindle Fire Stuck At Boot Logo Screen, HELP?!?

Hello my device is stuck in bootloop and wont be reconised by my computer unless it is connected by a factory cable i bought from 'EarlyBird' on Amazon.
The screen turns on as well as the green light, it flickers and then goes black. This just REPEATS. (also the kindle fire logo shows in white/orange).
Plugged my kindle in with factory cable and showed up in Device Manager as KIndle fire like it should.
I have drivers installed so this is why.
How can i make the kindle boot up again and work like normal?!?
Thanks.
If you need more info or can help please reply to this thread or PM me.

I recommend you read everything in that thread. Then read some more.
What I wrote in the original post is pretty self-explanatory. If you don't understand something I said then you haven't read enough.
This is NOT a basic device to work on. I also see you started in the Kindle fire 1 forums. If you flashed anything there you're already screwed.

The restore tool links are not working right now. Have to wait until it get's fixed.

Umm thanks for your help. I'll read through it ALL. And I thought my kindle fire was the 1st gen but found out was 2nd gen. Luckily I didn't get far another to do anything stupid to it.

I'm not sure if I said but my kindle fire isn't recognised when plugged in normal cable AT ALL so doesn't show up in adb devices. However when put in factory cable its recognised by device manager only. Adb devices does not see anything. Why is that ?
P.s remember my kindle is stuck at boot loop
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Because adb doesn't work with fastboot, with fastboot you use fastboot commands. Once its in fastboot I suggest using this to restore it to working order: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

Give me a pm if you have issues with my download link. I think there is probably enough info here to help.
The main thing is to have the right versions adb and fast boot available and you should be able to restore ok.

The OP has a problem, and what happens? 2 users get in a territory dispute
And now a Mod has to do clean-up. If you 2 wanna argue, go take it to the playground or something.
And if you can't post something more constructive to the issue, then just don't post.
In the meantime, the OP still has an issue, so hopefully some of the KF folks that want to help will get your issue fixed.

I understand that your need to flash a new .IMG and a new system image. I believe that your download then has those files. I see from the text that I out the text/code into fastboot with kindle connect with fastboot cable. Then should reboot and work. Is that right? Does kindle have to show in adb devices for this to work as its not for me...
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

ADB is for pushing and fastboot is for flashing. No, while in fastboot you won't see ADB recognized. Try typing fast boot devices to see if fastboot is set up right and type fastboot getvar all in the command prompt to see if your device is recognized. Also if you're running Windows 7 X64 or Windows 8 you should disable Windows driver enforcement first.

Yes you are correct. So is linearequation.
But use "fastboot -I 0x1949 devices" to be sure it's there. It MAY not show up otherwise.

Accidentally Erased internal storage, phone only booting to bootloader, please help!!

Just rooted/s-off my device and decided to factory reset it to start using it for regular usage. I accidentally clicked erase internal storage in tmrp recovery and deleted the whole os on the phone as well. Is there any way to side load a rom with recovery to get the phone to boot up again or is my phone practically a brick till a RUU is released. I have the tmobile version.
Please Help!!

You can adb push a ROM then flash it or fastboot flash a rom directly from you computer.

i don't know why it would be failing at 100%...check to see if it copied, and if it didn't then try to fastboot flash it

I would just adb push. Much more reliable.

[Q] Can I stop an update that has already begun?

Sorry if this is a repost but I couldn't find anything on the subject.
I just got my Kindle Fire (1st gen) today and was toying around with it. It was connected to my wifi and then without prompting me shut off and began updating. I knew that there was no root for it so I turned the kindle off by holding the power button while it was updating. Is there any way for me to disable the update without powering it on the whole way?
It currently has 6.3.2 and I don't want to update to 6.3.3
I am aware that you can root 6.3.3 but from my understanding it requires a factory cable which I currently do not have.
Thank you
Update: I did some more digging and saw that it could be rooted but could not install a custom recovery without a factory cable. My apologies.

I would never shut off any operating system in the middle of an update. It is trouble. I wish you the best, but I think you should be purchasing a factory cable.

Not sure what will happen when you power back on.
Could download kindle fire utility, start run.bat
Connect kindle, to PC, it should power on when connected.
See what happens.
Bad idea to power off in the middle of installing firmware.

Maybe you could push fbmode can't test it my device is so far from stock never going back My point about smirkit is fastboot is not needed it writes bootloader and recovery from a running system. The only prerequisites are superuser or supersu, busybox with .sh working, terminal emulator and smirkit of course.

Neither fbmode nor smirkit work with 6.3.3

Yep it works I just need different commands
my steps
I just did
Step 1: Root the kindle fire
Step 2: Download fbmode
Step 3: Install fbmode by using adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp
Step 4: Set fbmode permissions by using: adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode
Step 5: Run these commands here:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./fbmode
exit
exit
Kindle reboots to fastboot mode
6. downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img and fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
7. placed in adb folder
8. ran these command in command prompt
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
9.done

Awesome I'll give this a try. Can you explain how you put those files from step 6 into the adb folder? I'm new to Android so I'm a little confused.

I just use these files adb-fastboot.zip mirrors unzip and move (AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, fastboot.exe) to a folder in c drive named adb.
Also move fbmode, FFF, and TWRP. Be sure to verify md5 checksums for FFF and TWRP flashing a corrupt Bootloader is bad.
