I soft bricked my kindle fire hd 8.9 a while back (at least i think its soft bricked not hard bricked) currently when booting up it boots normally and then stops boots into recovery with a message saying there was a problem while booting a remember the way i bricked it in the first place was trying to edit the system framework.
I decided the only way to fix it was to get into fastboot and iv tried every method i could find to get it there but finally resorted to a factory cable.
the cable finally got here and when i plugged it in the kindle did its usual boot into system then recovery @ boot failure.
does anyone have any advice it would be highly appreciated.
Fastboot cable doesn't work for the 8.9" fire HD. Only the 7"

That has got to be the single most retarded thing i'v ever heard who makes two tablets of the same family and generation and only puts fastboot on one of them that doesn't even make sense though it does explain a lot of the problems i had

This is how to get into fastboot on kindle fire HD 8.9". The fastboot cable can cause damage to the 8.9". Just use these commands to get into fastboot and you can fix your kindle from there.
With the Kindle powered down, type the following command into a cmd/terminal window on your PC (should return with: < waiting for device> ):
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Then connect USB to the Kindle and reboot. It *SHOULD* show a Fastboot screen and your terminal window should show something like:
product: Jem-PVT-Prod-04
Type this to reboot out of fastboot mode:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

My Cmd gives an error saying that it is an invalid command
You have to install the drivers for fastboot and adb. And in some cases the android SDK. I don't think you need it in this case though. Ill try to provide try drivers.

OP, were you able to resolve your problem? I have a similar issue, but my 8.9 Kindle registers and unregisters from the device manager upon boot.
I have also not had any success with a fastboot cable.

This does not work.
Here's what I did to restore a Demo 8.9 in Windows 10, it should work for you as well.
Use the KFHD System.img Recovery Tool
Download KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4 from the link on that page. Unzip it.
Download the boot and recovery images linked in the Downgrade section of that page. Place them in the KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4 folder.
Connect your 8.9 to your computer with a regular USB cable, turn the 8.9 off.
Run SR Tool.bat, Type 1 and press Enter. Type n and press enter.
Hold down the volume up button and press power on your 8.9. for about 3 seconds and then release the power button and continue holding down the volume up button.
Your 8.9 should display the yellow Fastboot graphic and KFHD will verify that you are in Fastboot.
After that I flash the system with Option 2.
Erase cache and user data with Option 4.
Open a separate cmd window in the KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4 directory, flash the boot and then flash recovery using the commands listed in the Downgrade section of the KFHD page.
Close this cmd window.
Go back to the KFHD window and select option 6, wait for your 8.9 to fully reboot and then enable adb and allow applications from unknown sources.
Return to the KFHD window and press any key to continue, it will install Google framework and then you are done.
Then do whatever you want, install a custom ROM, update to 8.5.1, sell it or throw it in a drawer and forget about it.

Ok so i just tried to download the newest CWM from the kindle fire utility and when i tried to do that it got stuck in what i think is fastboot but i'm not sure. Has the little android guy above the name "Kindle Fire". Tried turning off the device and power back on but it is still stuck and nothing is working. Adb doesn't recognize my device either.

Windows is not detecting your Kindle Fire properly. The "fastboot devices" should return some alphanumeric characters if the drivers have properly loaded and your device is really in fastboot mode. You need to make sure the right drivers are loading or fastboot commands are useless.
Read this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
Pay particular attention to the second post because you NEED to get your drivers working right first. Then the correct fastboot command is...
Code:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
You don't need the "-i 0x1949" if you have the FIREFIREFIRE bootloader and "bootmode" is one word.

Did you get the latest FireFireFire as well? ClockworkMid recovery requires a fastboot such as firefirefire.
Try the kindle fire unbrick utility first before anything.
Here, try this.
1. Power on the kindle.
2. While the kindle fire logo and the android logo are on the screen, Try to boot into recovery by holding three power button until the screen goes black. Then, let go. Let it sit for about two-ten seconds, and it should boot into cwm recovery.
3. Select "factory reset/ wipe data option, and after its done, reboot your kindle and it should work properly.
If that failed, try a hard reset.
1. Power off the kindle.
2. Hold there power button for a Full 20 seconds, even when it turns black.
3. After step two is applied, power on the kindle.

I have a rooted kindle fire on 6.3.1
I'm just curious, under reset options in TWRP is it possible to erase the stock amazon software or does that always stay on the kindle?
I was trying to unroot and did a reset. Now I just get stuck at the kindle fire screen. I assume I'm stuck in fast boot mode. My computer won't allow me access to the kindle for the f drive, kindle fire utility will say the kindle is online but won't recognize what mode it's in.
Sorry if this topic is repeated. I am kind of a noob.

You do it at the directory where fastboot located. Check the tools sub-directory as part of kfu utility.

Would I be able to fix this with a factory cable?
No, you don't need a factory cable since you are on a 8.9”. Simply open a command prompt and CD into a directory with a copy of fastboot, and run this command, "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", after it says waiting for device plug your kindle in with the power off. It should go into fastboot, if it doesn't then you need to install the drivers for fastboot that are in my signature.

Hi folks. I've been studying the forums for a few days now and can't resolve my issue. Hoping you will tolerate a noob dilemna.
I have a KF 8.9 HD running CM 10.1 and play store with no issues. Runs flawlessly. In my attempt to try out the CM 10.2 I wiped out the internal memory, cache etc.
I'm using Windows 8.1 to communicate with the KF.
I can only see the Kindle and use the ADB commands if I boot into TWRP. It reports the number and recovery when I run ADB devices in an admin command window. I'm unable to use the ADB commands when the KF is running the 10.1 OS desktop. Windows device manager reports it as MTB USB Device instead of the ADB Composite Device I get when it's running in TWRP. No matter how much tinkering and uninstalling KF drivers, I can't get it to see the KF.
I've also downloaded KF FirstAide.I get all of the menu options but it hangs whenever I try any options. For example, it hangs after reporting daemon started successfully when I try to use the safe diagnostics. I can't get it to communicate with the KF.
I'm in need of restoring this KF 8.9 HD to Amazon stock OS. I've ordered a new one and will be passing this one on to someone that's looking for the Amazon stock system. Otherwise I'd leave it as it since CM 10.1 is running.
Really appreciate the help you can give me.
You have to enable adb in cm 10.1, click on the build number about 10 times under "about tablet" in settings, that should enable the developer menu in settings so you can enable adb.

Thanks Stunts. That should get me closer to figuring this out. The {} Developer Options are now visible on the KF. Root access is set to Apps and ADB. Uninstalled KF Win 8.1 device drivers again and rebooted both KF and computer. Still doesn't see it in Win 8.1 when I use ADB Devices (doesn't report any devices).
The Windows driver is still reporting MTB USB Device. When I try to update the driver using androide_usb.inf windows reports there is no compatible software driver in that folder.
I'll keep messing with the Developer Options on the KF. Any other suggestions?
Stupid question but did you check the box to enable adb? I didn't see that said you did only something else so I thought I'd ask. Also the MTP device is desperate so you shouldn't have to update it with the adb drivers, it should be a desperate device usually under its own android debugging category if I remember right.

I gave up on getting it to work in Windows 8.1. There must be something about the way it handles the drivers that prevents the device being seen when CM10.1 is running. Very frustrating. I must have tried 100 different variations but I can only get it to see the KF in Portable Device Player, not the Android Composite Device it sees when I'm running in TWRP mode.
I ended up using my daughter's netbook which is running Windows 7. Installed Java Developers Tools, KF First Aide. I can now see finally both the device as the portable media player and the Android Composite Device. Yeah!
One last problem to overcome. I want to wipe the KF clean and install the stock Amazon system. KFAide now communicates with the device in CM10.1. I was able to do a backup but it still hangs when I try to restore the stock system.
Is there a place a can get the stock image files for KF 8.9 HD? 8.1.3 or 8.1.4 should be fine (I don't remember which I was running before installing CM10.1). Ideally I want to transfer the stock images to the SDCard directory and then use TWRP to reinstall. Sound reasonable?
If you want full unrooted stock just download the latest update from Amazon's website for your device, put it on the kindle's sdcard and change the extension to .zip, and wipe the system, and do a factory reset then flash the amazon update, it should remove twrp and 2nd boot loader as well

Thanks again Stunt. Want to make sure I do this correctly.
Do I just check off wipe system in twrp or other items like internal memory etc. I'm thinking just system.
Is the factory reset from within twrp?
Finally, do i flash while in fastboot mode?
Sorry for all the questions. Appreciate the help
When you hit wipe I believe there is a factory reset button, and after that you would do another wipe and check system, then install the amazon update zip file from within twrp, not fastboot.

Crap! Now it hangs on the Kindlefire screen (orange color not the blue rooted color).
I can use KDFirstAide to get it back in fastboot mode. I tried the various options to restore su, erase cache and user data etc, but nothing. It continues to hang at the KindleFire screen
Any suggestion? Are there any Fastboot commands I can use to restore and use twrp again?
You need to run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" with the kindle unplugged and off then plug it in when it says waiting for device, that should put it into fastboot so kffa can restore the system.

Tired it and ran KFF. KFF prompts me that the Kindle Must be Powered on to the Desktop to do a restore of the system. Can't get to the desktop at this point. If I select no at the desktop prompt it starts the deamon and hangs at that point. Probably because it's trying to use ADB which is not active in Fastboot mode.
I was successful in using KFF to do a backup restore, but it is still hanging on the KindleFire screen.
The only thing I can do right now is get to Fastboot mode using the KFRecovery utility and Enabling Fastboot to get to Fastboot mode.

Fastboot is still working. I did run that command you posted: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product. It reported Prod: Jem-PVT-Prod-04.
I have tried the Recovery tool you linked to but it hangs when I try to restore the system (using any of the options)
Update: I was able to get KFFirstAide to complete it's recover using 8.1.2 option. I got a full red screen then it booted to the Fastboot Mode Screen. I feel I'm getting closer. I held the power button for 20 seconds, then release for 5 and power up again. It's still going into Fastboot Mode. Any advice?
Try restoring the system one more time, if that doesn't work you might have to reflash the boot loader. You can try "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot" or "fastboot -i 0x1949 OEM idme bootmode 1" possibly followed by the first command. I have my doubts that command will work though and I'm not positive if system is 1 or not because the numbers used to be different on the original all and I'm not too familiar with the numbers on the hd models, but I think its 1.

Thanks for sticking with me Stunts. I tried reinstalling it already. Tried both variations of the fastboot commands you listed. Is it possible the second one is missing an argument? When I enter it by itself it comes back as listing all of the fastboot options (I usually get that when I type something wrong).
So it sounds like I just need to get out of the Fastboot Mode. It always shows a full red screen before entering Fastboot Mode
Odd, I suggest reflashing the boot loader then, download the boot loader for your device here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175
Its the 8.1.4 boot loader listed, make sure you check that the md5sum matches what's on that page or you could hard brick it.

Does the logo ever turn blue? If it doesn't do not worry as kindle 8.9" models don't work with fastboot cables. There is a different method form getting it into fastboot. Just tell me if the logo turns blue or not and I can instruct you from there.

I test the software but seems to not work, i don't have original cable. I try to enable kindle fastboot but nothing
This is going to be a pain to type on my phone... plug the device in while off, keep the device manager open when doing this, it should briefly show up as a jem device, when it does right click it and hit update driver, point it to where you will have downloaded and extracted the driver in my signature. Once you install the drivers, shut it off and unplug it, you will need to open a command prompt that's cd'd into a directory like kffa where you can run a fastboot command. Then run
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
it should say waiting for device, once it does plug your kindle in, it should go into fastboot mode and you can restore with kffa.

Thanks works Now if i want to have original Amazon OS with Root, TWRP and Play Store what i can do?
Think there's an old Amazon os flashable zip in the dev section. Might be pre-rooted. You can always root it with binary's root if not and install the playstore with kffa or something. I personally prefer running a custom rom over stock any day. Much better interface on cm based rooms compared to amazon's os. Only downside is lack of prime video.

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
it should say waiting for device, once it does plug your kindle in, it should go into fastboot mode and you can restore with kffa.

Hello,
I have the exact same problem as the original poster with my Kindle Fire HD 8.9". I tried downloading the drivers in your description. I connect the kindle and try to update the drivers for Jem-PVT-Prod-04. I direct my computer to install the drivers that I extracted, however it returns an error saying that "the hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering." I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, this is my first time trying to root android. Thanks so much for the help!
You need to disable driver signature enforcement. Look it up on Google, I don't know the procedure offhand because I don't use windows 8.

Hello. I know this thread is old but I just stumbled across it and want to restore my mom's Kindle HD 8.9. I was able to install the drivers for Jem-PVT-Prod-04 when it showed really quick on the device manager. When I try the CMD "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" from the command prompt it takes me to the desktop folder where the Zip file is located and I had already unzipped the KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4.
I tried running the SR Tool and my Kindle was off. I had selected Enable Fastboot. When it prompted me to turn on I did and it prompted DAEMON. So nothing was going on So I decided to start from the beginning.
When I plug in the Kindle Windows 10 prompts like it recognizes the device but the JEM PVT is no longer popping up in the Device Manager under OTHER Devices like the first time. I checked the Registry to remove any trace of the JEM and it isn't even in there. I tried to remove other devices.
Sorry for the long story. Can I just use the SR Tool to wipe out the Data and Cache once I redo everything from my second PC and install the Kindle OS from Amazon's website to restore the Device from the loop? It is not blue. Is there another link with step by step instructions or a You Tube Video for noob like me? I used to be good at this but my skills have really regressed.
Thank you
Frank
