My fire TV is stuck on the white amazon logo, it won't boot pass that... I tried to boot into recovery but it doesn't work, I also tried factory reset with the remote and it won't work... The only thing I can get to do anything is fastboot but I can't boot into recovery from there... Any suggestions would be great... (Error came from trying install a pre-rooted rom, [must of been corrupt, I'm sure that's my fault] it made it half way through then gave me a error. Like a dumb @$$ I rebooted it and now I'm stuck)

Hello all,
Yesterday I tried to do a fresh install of the stock software coming from AOKP ICS Rom. It says everything went fine in twrp. I also wiped the cache and delvik cache before the flash of the new software. When I rebooted the fire from twrp, I get the stock Kindle Fire boot logo, and its bright light its supposed to be. But then it dims down barely visible in the daylight and hangs there. It is non responsive. It does show up in device manager. I have tried using the Kindle Fire utility and it sees the fire, and when I tell it to go into fastboot mode the fire will reboot once and does the same thing. Hangs at the dim boot logo. I have tried the unbrick software for kindle fire and always gets the the point "waiting for device" and hangs. On the Kindle fire unbrick, If I choose the Stuck at logo option I get 2 error lines. they both say - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -"
these 2 lines are followed by Congrats, you kindle fire should be unbricked, but nothing changes. Let me know what my other options are. I have tried to re-root the device and its unresponsive.
Thanks,
Nick
I should add that if I put adb devices into command prompt it does show up.
Well your buggered you should have done a full wipe factory reset cache dalvik and system before flashing stock now its stuck trying to restore the data that you should have wiped no fff no recovery which now you need to fix it so your best bet is fire kit or a factory cable to fast boot flash a new boot loader and twrp

I figured that the factory cable was the only solutions. I tried the fire kit already. I have contacted and ordered a factory cable from ScOrPn. I will follow up with results.
FIXED!
Factory cable did it. I wish I would have owned one of these the whole time I have been using the fire. Thanks again everyone for the input.

For some reason my FTV2 stopped booting. The bootloader works and I can get to TWRP, but some reason it won't boot normally. I've already tried factory reset and re-installing 5.0.5 rooted image, but never gets past the white logo. What else should I try?

Fallow procedure in below post using the unbrick+ramdisk.img option:

Thanks, I will give it a try. I thought this was only required if you didn't already have recovery working.
Before I get creative with a JTAG let me try asking here. My Fire Phone is stuck in a boot loop, it will show the Amazon logo and then briefly flash the Fire loading screen then back to the Amazon logo again ad infinitum. I tried side loading the official update.bin and it was successful, but then back into boot looping it goes. My phone is the Unlocked GSM model.
Any ideas, or should I put the thing out to pasture?
I have this problem too. But no fireflies showing on my screen. Somebody says factory reset phone. When I try factory reset on recoverymenu installation stripe comes to end but it doesn't says operation is completed
Replace battery. Many people get the same symptom. I got this and replaced my battery. It works well again.
How can I replace my battery? Or is there another way? Sorry for bad english
Hey there! I've the same bootloop problem with my Fire Phone and i even tried new batteries not one but 2 and still i'm facing the same problem with the new battery :/ if anyone knows any solution please let me know. Thanks
So far, I decided since my tablet was running slower than it did when I first got it, to reset it. And since I was doing that, might as well unlock the bootloader.
Well, I unlocked the device, attempted to install TWRP, then got the remote failed error, unknown command. Apparently you have to install it via flashify or whatever. Anyhow...
I rebooted the device, but now, all it does is go into recovery, shows the android robot on its side for a split second, then starts flashing white then black on the screen. The only way to stop it is to pull off the battery connector.
The LG mobile tool can see it in download mode, send it the latest kdz image or whatever, works, but still goes back to the same error - boots to recovery then hangs.
Is there a way to fix this? Trying to get it to boot a recovery img didn't work. Erasing all data seemed to have done nothing.
Did you ever unbrick it...?
Hey guys, been a hot minute since I've been around these parts but I've got a weird one for you.
I'm stuck in a boot loop. I can get into the bootloader using pwr+vol up, but thats it. If I try to enter recovery it boot loops.
Using fastboot commands and I can get things to flash (so it says), but am still stuck in this bootloop.
Tried loading TWRP using fastboot boot twrp.img and it says it succeeded but then loops without ever getting the TWRP splash
Tried extracting the img files from the most recent OTA downloaded from google from the payload.bin and flashing those with no success.
Tried flashing the boot.img out of LineageOS and it still loops afterwards... I'll admit that this was a last ditch effort and I hope I didn't screw myself, but I figure I can just reflash if needed since I can still access fastboot.
I feel like since I can get into the bootloader that there's got to be SOMETHING I can do, but nothing seems to be working. Is this old phone truly bricked? Any ideas??
A little extra info. I was on a stock rom, it was rooted for a while and eventually after some of the ota's I lost it and didn't bother getting it back. the bootloader unlocked, though, so there's that.

As a rule of thumb
-- A 'bricked phone' is usually unresponsive, won't power on, and doesn't function normally.
