Okay so i was not using my Kindle Fire(1st Gen) for a few months coz I forgot about it... but before storing it in my cupboard i thought of turning it off so that it does not keep losing its battery.. It was working perfectly fine when i left it last.. but i took it out a few days ago and switched it on and noticed that a part of the touch screen is not working at all... only the right side of the screen seems to respond properly.. and if i try to touch anything on the left it automatically presses something in the right corners or right edges of the screen... because of this i could not even get the screen to unlock... the slide arrow does not move to the left normally when i drag it... but with some effort i managed to unlock it.. the screen randomly presses things on the right even if i touch something on the left... like for example if i want to type something on the keyboard like "qwerty" then wen i try to press "q" it keeps pressing the extreme right letter in that row i.e "p".... i thought this was happening because of some app i downloaded so i tried uninstalling most of the new apps that i installed recently.... also because of this i cannot use the home and back button...
But i noticed that wen i turn the kindle and wen the screen rotates(When it is horizontal) i can access some things which i could not do when it is in its normal position(Vertical).. this is how i could uninstall the apps...
I dont understand what the problem is because it was working totally and perfectly fine the last time i used it.. and i had stored it in a proper place..
i have tried holding the power button and restarting it like a million times but its still the same every time... i dont know whats wrong with it...:crying:
i just wanted to use it after neglecting it for all this time and now its behaving like this...
i've tried troubleshooting but no one else seems to have such a problem..
returning it is out of the question coz i got it as a gift...
PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT OR TELL ME WHAT TO DO...... I JUST WANT IT TO BE NORMAL AGAIN!!!!
P.S. if this helps, the kindle is rooted(i think coz i can download stuff from the google play store and i can use cheat apps)..
I would not give up

I would not give up . . .
I would let that puppy charge over night.
return back to the basics and re flash the device like you did the first time around with the rom of your choice.
Weird things have happened and perhaps the auto rotate was uncheck or checked . . . Bad files were loaded . . . Weak Charge . . . .
I have order the factory cable from one of these threads here and will follow this route because I did something stupid and bricked my Kindle first gen device and now that computer will not acknowledge the device when I connect it to my PC, MAC . . . .
Once I get this puppy up and running, I will post a detail how to.
As long as you are seeing something on the screen, anything . . . then there is hope for ya buddy. . .
Look around the forums because we do have an older device and lots of those threads relating to our old device are barred.
Check out YouTube, there is a wealth of info there as well.
Best of luck and don't give up.

have you had any luck with fixing this issue??????
nope
Same problem
Any luck on how to resolve this issue?
Yup its been more than a year since I posted this n now my kindle fire's touchscreen is totally unresponsive. I can't even unlock the screen anymore...
I really thought I would get a good answer when I posted this question on xda, but I guess I was wrong...
Only thing left to do now is take it and get it repaired at a shop....
Mine had same problems as did 2 replacement Kindle fire HD. The replacement problems were worse, so I returned them. This was under warranty. Now I cannot unlock it and warranty is over. Hope they.have notes about this issue. I have been toldI should replace the digitzer and screen. Cost is abbout $ 30 to do myself. Looks simple to do as demonstrated on you tube video.

Hi all, the very best noob is posting here
I was enjoying the last AuraxTSense rom (AuraxTSense_8.3_Official_OTA_2.2_FRF91_A2SD +...) installed on 29/01. The display is SLCD. The mobile is branded, so I created-and-used a gold card. Everything was perfect until this morning when I noticed that the display was black and there was no way to come up with an image, or text ... (it's almost black, actually I can see that lights just barely).
Since the installation of the rom was successful, I do not think that the phone is bricked, but It's a supposition. Or not?
As described on forums, I've installed the rom RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed to try to recover the mobile: I can hear the sound, the cell vibrates, ... but no more as in the beginning.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
would you mind giving some additional info like does the LED turn on, if plugged in to a charger? Does it turn on, if plugged into a computer?
Can you boot into fastboot(vol down + power)?
Did you do anything special before this happened?
How did you flash the ruu(from zip file or via computer)? Did any errors occour?
Also why would you try to flash a ruu, when you had no idea what was wrong or what you were doing? You might just have ruined it more. There is no way to know, but as it was able to run the ruu, apparently nothing was wrong.
Thank you for the reply.

The mobile charges with charger, and USB cable attached on the PC: while charging, the LED is orange.
When off, I can power it up using the power button: the mobile vibrates and after ~25 seconds I can hear the start sound. After ~10 seconds the home+menu+back+src button lights go on for some seconds.
The display, since the start-up vibration, becames barely lighted. While the mobile is powered on, if not used, after some time the display becomes dark and I can resume its lighting pressing the power button.
While the mobile is on, if I plug the USB cable in the PC a new drive appears; it's an empty (0 bytes size) drive - I have no SD in.
Can you boot into fastboot(vol down + power)?

I cannot say this because I cannot see anything, but when I boot with (vol down + power) the mobile does not vibrate.
BTW I can boot with (power+back), as I have used the RUU executable to flash and it worked.

Just followed the instructions seen on another blog/forum.
I can say that the behaviour of the mobile after the RUU update is the same of before.
Thank you.
to me that sounds like a hardware (backlight) fault...
But how could you flash the wwe-Ruu? Your handset was branded, wasnt it? Did you use the goldcard to flash the ruu? Remember to flash the original (=branded) ruu before you send it in for repair (if you do so)
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed
hmm isnt that for amoled phones.
try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048
and if that isnt working flash rom that came with it and send it to repair.
Yes, I flashed using the goldcard; it was working very well!
The last app I installed was juice defender, the full version, updated two days ago from the market.
I'm trying with the link proposed by madman_cro, it's now in download.
Thank you.
2 things... would it not have been better to post in the AuraxTsense page lol? I've used 8.3 since release and its near perfect, sounds like a hardware error.... screen maybe gone? There was a spate of HTC screen problems
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have had this happen twice on Auraxtsense. Both times removing the battery for 30 secs and then replacing and rebooting solved the issue. It eventually came back to life.
In your case it could be a hardware failure ......
Im trying to flash the rom proposed by madman_cro, but today is a bad day: update fails with ERROR 170
Yes AuraxTsense is a great rom, with no doubt! I'm not considering the rom as the origin of the problem, but it would be nice to discover what's wrong in my mobile
In the case it's an hardware problem, I've asked HTC for assitance...
(PS: I have had no way to post in the AuraxTsense page as this is my first post)

As you say yourself this sounds like a hw error, and such it has nothing to do with auraxtsense, so why the hell should he post it in there.
But it does indeed sound like a hw error. So you will probably have to ask htc, if the prober ruu doesn't solve it. Also slcd brick only happens after flashing a wrong rom/bootloader, so it should not possibly appear out of nowhere.

Why the hell would he do that? Because at that stage a hardware fault was suggested but not confirmed ... so why the hell not?
If it was a problem with the rom like he thought it could be, that would of been a good starting point!
I had the same thing happen with a Blackstone (Touch HD)
Don't know if this is any help, but I had exactly the same thing happen with my old Touch HD. There was a util I found that allowed me to view the phone screen and drive it via my pc through the USB port. This helped in making sure that the only issue was a lack of display, and flashing and returning to stock before sending off for repair. Not too sure if there's something similar for the Desire.
The problem was initially diagnosed as a loose connection within the phone, and the repair center fixed it and sent it back to me. A couple of weeks later exactly the same thing happened. After replacing the mainboard on the second repair visit it was all fixed and worked well (until I fed it too much voltage from a charger, but that's another story). I'd suggest that claiming this experience as your own and requesting a mainboard replacement up front may be the best way to avoid too many service visits.
You'll know that they have replaced the mainboard as they'll issue you with a new IMEI.
selling it on ebay
Thank you all! My experience with support services in Italy and the fact that the phone has been rooted/flashed, have persuaded me to put it on ebay, as is. I still haven't found the solution, so I don't know if it's an hardware problem or something else. In the doubt, I'm selling it as not working.
Hope I will come back with a new desire...
Thanks to all the forum for contents and kindness

Is it not under warranty??? Its still covered if the changes you made didn't cause the issue ( I think lol)
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Although most people have said this is a hardware error (I'm inclined to think the same) have you actually tried to hard reset the phone just incase a setting is messed up somewhere and is actually displaying at 0% backlight. Very likely it won't work but is at least worth a shot before you get rid of it on Ebay
trying again
Hi warlordxxx, having the possibility to use another phone (do you remember the 7650? ) I removed the desire from ebay and I'm now trying to best discover what's happened, as I think it's not an hardward problem too.
I'm following the directions posted on the androidiani.it forum: maybe my problem it's just a video driver problem. I will let you know the result of the operations.
Have a nice week.
I have searched and searched for three nights already. I actually opened the kindle in fustrsation hoping it was only a lose cable or something. No luck. My kindle was running ICS and one night it turned off. I plugged it in the charger and called it a night. In the morning I turned it back on but no go. And its been like that ever since. I have no idea how to get it to connect to my laptop. I tried everything and anything I found here and elsewhere online. Everyone says to connect or put on boot mode or something. But I have no idea if the kindle is even on or not. It just has a blank screen and thats it. I tried using the various tools such as kindle unblock utility and kindle utility but there useless since I can't connect the kindle cause i don't know if its on or not. Then I tried loading the drivers that came with unbrick utility but it says something about driver is unsigned. Scoured the web for an answer to THAT dilemma and nobody has a real solution. Seems every solution starts with, "connect device in fasboot or slow boot or snail boot" but the whole point of seeking a solution as far as Im concerned is cause the device DOES NOT CONNECT OR CANT CONECT TO ANYTHING!!!! Im at my wits end. Its three in the morning and my wife is on her 5th dream...again this week!!!! Please help!!! Im willing to ship this POS out to anyone that can fix it and I will donate a g2X rooted and unlocked for your time!!!! I swear I will!!! I just want to get this over with. PLEASE HEKP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you need to use firekit.
it allows you to boot your pc of a linux usb live pen drive with some tools preloaded.
all you need is to shortout a contact inside kindle and insert usb cable into kindle at the same time.
ill post a link in a minute. just follow the instructions exactly and i'm sure it will bring your kindle back to life.
hope this helps

I was in the same situation as you were, i messed up my KF but was able to revive it using the USB Firekit (link in the first reply you got), just follow it carefully. This will require you to open up your KF.
Dont despair, it will work
if you have probs with firekit.
post as much detail as pos of what you've done and where you're at in the process.
its not too hard as long as you follow the post to the T.

do you know what 3.0 kernel version you had installed. if it was #10 or lower follow the instructions below. my kf did the same thing and it's any easy fix. most likely your kf's battery is completely utterly dead.
NOTE: this may or may not work depending on what the kfu or unbrick utility did without you knowing.
1. plug your kf into the wall charger.
2. press and hold the power button until the light comes on. if this happens it will boot to a black blank screen but you will notice the backlight is on. let it sit this way overnight.
3. after it has sat overnight, unplug it from the charger and hold the power button until it powers off (light will go off as well ass back light lcd)
4. hold the power button until it comes back on. let it fully boot. you'll notice the time and date are incorrect.
5. power off again
6. download hashcodes newest 3.0 kernel #12
7. power back on and boot into recovery.
8. flash the newest kernel you downloaded
9. wipe dalvik and cache
10. reboot normally.
you'll then need to reset the date and time and you shouldnt have any problems after that.

I have it working now. But one issue. The Kindle boots up normally now first into FFF then to android. Everything seems to be working fine except my battery shows 0% charge all the time. It does not charge. I unplug it and immediately shuts down. Anyone know what I can do to fix this? By the way, thanks for everyone who helped or contributed some input. By the way if anyone wants to know the method that work led was the Firekit method using Ubuntu Linux and the short test trick. I tried it several times even had some help on Teamviewer from a very helpful member. But after trying as few commands, it finally booted to the yellow triangle and after that I went to recovery and reinstalled CM9. So yeah everything seems to work now except the battery basically acts like its not even there.

KFU is for the original kindle fire. Go post your problem in the KF2/KFHD QA. Most likely you have bricked your kindle. And factory cables don't work on that kf.
Whew. Didn't have to do anything elaborate on mine. Someone unplugged the wall wart and I didn't notice it for a few days. Held the power button for a minute or so as suggested above. Then tried a normal power on. That worked :good: Now I have it sitting in TWRP at 1%. When it gets over 10% I'll reboot into the OS.
THANK YOU!

THANKS! I thought..what the heck.. I will try what you suggested and it worked!
I installed Tigger's excellent WildChild ROM a couple of weeks ago using CWM. My phone is S-ON, so I unlocked the bootloader by downloading the file from HTC's site.
Now with typical timing my phone appears to have developed an unrelated problem with the touchscreen - after a short while of use, it starts glitching up and the touchscreen goes all screwy, acting as if I'm pressing in places I'm not pressing and stuff like that. I can unglitch it by pressing the power button off then on again, but it's really annoying and makes the phone nearly unusable.
So I'm thinking I'll need to return the phone to HTC - will my warranty be affected because I've unlocked the bootloader? Can I remove stuff like CWM and the modded ROM so when (if) I return it, they won't say I've invalidated the warranty?
Thanks a lot for any help.
No....they already know that you unlocked the bootloader since you did it via HTCdev.....
And PLEASE!!!! THERE IS A Q AND A SECTION HERE!! POST QUESTIONS THERE

Thanks for the suggestion, I actually use several different chargers anyway and it doesn't seem to affect it. I've reset the phone to factory setting and cleared the Dalvic cache several times. Unfortunately problem still exists.
If you've ever tried to use your phone in the rain, the problem is very much like that. I really wish there was a way to fix it, but it looks like I'm going to have to send it back, and hopefully HTC won't complain that I've installed modded ROMs etc.
When I have had that issue when I turn of the screen and look at it at an angle there's usually a little non-glossy spot or two that you can slightly feel.cleaning them off usually fixes it .happens a lot after eating greasy foods. May our Mary not help but better then having to replace it
Hi everybody!
I have an almost 2 years old DHD which I think is completely bricked. It was working for approximately one years perfectly and then suddenly it stopped working. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it only vibrated once and did nothing more. Sometimes it turned on and these working periods were enough to restore to stock condition (It was rooted and had Eng S-OFF before.). I had brought it to service and they said they was not going to repair it as the device got water damaged. I'm pretty sure it was not! After a few weeks, it started working again. I was using it for 3 months then it bricked again and it's the situation today as well.
Previous week I looked into the development thread and saw all of these new amazing roms. So I took my DHD to see if it's working or not. The situation is the same. Everytime I power it on, the phone only vibrates once and nothing happens. I'm not able to get into hboot mode. At some very rare occassions the phone turns on and works flawlessly till reboot. When I connect it with USB, the computer doesn't recognize it. Battery is charged, I even tried another battery.
Does anybody know what happens with the phone? I'm open to any possible solutions to try. Please don't suggest to bring it to service or repair it, because I have another phone, just want to try to recover it and ask your ideas about the problem.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Adam
So you say you cant enter in fastboot or recovery?
Since it's intermittent, my guess is it is a hardware problem. Some kind of bad contact/loose connection. Make sure everything looks good on your battery door and the battery contacts inside the phone.

I cannot enter into hboot mode. Didn't try recovery, but assume it's the same.

I also think it's a hardware problem. Will take a more careful look at the battery.

Wrong sub forum buddy, post in the One V Forum.
Its possible that there isn't "water damage", but there could be moisture getting into the phone causing it to act erratic. To cancel out that possibility, submerge it in a closed container full of rice for a few days

Hi Guys,
i bought a Fire TV today and i think i already ****ed up.
I unpacked it, plugged everything in and got no signal on my TV. I saw that the remote was working since the light on the AFTV responded to my inputs. Tried changing channels on my TV but nothing worked. Then i figured to restart the AFTV and see again. Did that 2 or 3 times and nothing.
Turns out the HDMI cable wasn't fully plugged in. Stupid i know, but happens i guess.
So now i got the signal and the AFTV said the update failed and it should restart in a few minutes. OMG i think i unplugged it while it updated? Oh god no.
It never did restart on its own. I waited at least 15 min. Then i unplugged it again like the screen said and now it is stuck in the boot animation logo. 45 min in and nothing happens.
So i think i bricked my brand new AFTV. Is there anything i can do or do i have to send it back. Cant reach amazon support and support page says nothing about this. I m so mad right now.
Plugged in a usb keyboard and got into recovery mode. Recovery mode says the device will reboot in a "few minutes". It doesn't. I'm stuck.

I think if you hit escape or something you should be able to get to the recovery menu. You could try doing a factory reset.
No i can't do anything in the amazon recovery. It just says the AFTV will restart. But it doesn't.
Why don't you just phone Amazon? They are usually VERY helpful and will help you out

Yeah they did. They send me replacement. Just hoped to avoid that. But there seems no way to properly reset the device.
Thx for the help guys.

That's best I don't work for Amazon, but I can't deny that their customer service is second to none!
Useful to know, though... never unplug a Fire TV when it is updating
I did it once with an iPad... I managed to sort it out, but it wasn't the easiest thing in the world to accomplish.
