I was on CM 11. I wanted to restart fresh to I flashed
to KF 8.4.6 which worked fine. I then (this starts the
trouble) tried to reset device (remove personal data) from within kindle screens
1) rebooted to red screen
2) finally got into fastboot
3) tried this:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.3.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-2.6.0.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
4) it reboots and stays at yellow kindle fire logo
5) then I tried just this but same result:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin
Any Ideas?? Please? I am not upset that I cant use it...I'm upset that I cant fix it!
Fixed it
Used SRT tool and finally realised also had to flash boot.img and recovery.img

Have been trying to re-install everything for about 3 hours.
I keep getting code 10.
any help?
if your in fastboot adb won't work.
you need to issue the fastboot commands.
cd into platform tools and issue the following commands pressing enter after each line.
fastboot devices
you should get your kindle number showup.
then
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
this should reboot into normal mode

Okay guys,
I was following this guy's guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2404120
Now what I did was...
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
However the download for otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin was corrupted, so basicly I flashed a corrupted bootloader on my KF2
When I attempt to turn on my Kindle Fire 2, nothing happens, no light or anything.
How can I revive my dead KF2?
So I've been working on trying to flash CM on my Fire 2 (I'm fairly experienced with flashing). I managed to get 10.5.1 rooted with SuperSU installed, and then I followed the directions here (https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_otter2) to install CM. I made sure to verify the MD5 checksums on the files, and executed the fastboot commands successfully (I don't have a factory cable, I used the ADB commands after gaining root to get into fastboot).
When I executed "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery", it gave me the blue Kindle Fire boot screen, and booted normally into the OS. I loaded the CM/Gapps zips into the storage partition, and then did "adb reboot recovery". It rebooted, showed the orange stock Kindle Fire screen, then this grey triangle screen and proceeds no further. I tried rebooting multiple times, nothing. Device doesn't show up in my device manager, nothing in fastboot or ADB.

So what can I do? I read that as long as something shows up, it's not irreversibly bricked....Or do I need that dang factory cable....
Thanks!
Turn off the kindle completely (hold the power button for about 10 seconds). Open up a command prompt, type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product, and plug in the kindle when you see <waiting for device>. If your device boots into fastboot, and you get a string like "otter2-xxx-xx", then you should reflash the files like told to in the CM guide. However, before you type the "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery" command, issue fastboot -i 0x1949 erase system, fastboot -i 0x1949 erase cache, and fastboot -i 0x1949 erase userdata. After that, I think you shouldn't have any issue flashing.
Hey guys,
My KFHD8.9 had stuck in fastboot (after a RED SCREEN showed up for a second) for quite a few days. And none version of KFHD_SRTv1.2.0-1.3.5 worked to make it back - 1.2.0 not even work to be exact.
I followed several xda posts like https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495741
to solve this, but seems not working.
I'll appreciate if anyone can help out.
Thanks
Assume that you have fastboot driver installed, KFHD_SRT_v2.1.zip, boot.img and recovery.img for 8.1.4.
You can follow these steps to downgrade to 8.1.4;
1. Power off your KFHD.
2. run [fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product] and connect KFHD, this will put your KFHD in fastboot mode
3. run [SR Tool.bat] within KFHD_SRT_v2.1 folder. and choose option 2 or 3. (I prefer option 2)
4. After flashing 8.1.4 to your KFHD, don't reboot, you have to downgrade your bootloader and recovery as well.
5. Run [fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img] to inject 8.1.4 bootloader
6. And run [fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img] to inject recovery
7. Finally run fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
Wait for a while and you will have KFHD 8.1.4 with root enabled, thanks to onemeila.

After this you can update to the latest 8.5.1 and gain root via iroot.
Now I'm happy with Nougat (unofficial CM14.1 by transi1)
P.S. Sorry, I can't remember where I fetched boot.img and recovery.img of 8.1.4, you have to find it yourself.
This works.
Thanks ong14. Your method saved my Kindle from its soft brick.
Haven't used my kindle for 6 months. Noticed today it just sits at the blue & white kindle fire logo.
If I hold the volume button down the Teamwin logo displays sitting there, nothing happens.
Hardware devices shows "Kindle" @ the Teamwin logo. I believe this is ADB.
If I just plug it in it shows Jem-PVT-Prod-04 with an exclamation.
edit: After about 5 hours I've determined the windows driver support is just ****. Using FWUL I can put the device into fastboot and send images. I sent a working copy of TWRP and now I cant enter TWRP at all, it just sits at the 2nd bootloader, ie. white and blue logo.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
even erased cache and userdata, nothing. sits at the blue white logo and cant get into TWRP when pressing the down button.
edit: about 10 hours I finally figured out how to get it stuck in fastboot mode using linux and forced it to install the driver in windows. Even tried SRT 2.1, it flashes everything but upon reboot it shows a red swipe and automatically stays in fastboot mode.
I suspect something may be wrong with the device because issuing a fastboot oem idme bootmode 5001 after flashing twrp and freedom just locks up the device and fastboot will hang only displaying "..." unless I pull out the cable.
I'm over it.
Have you tried "oem idme bootmode 1" instead of 5001 ?
