HI,
I just try to root my Kindle Fire 2nd gen using Kindle Fire Utiity 0.9.6 and all goes fine until stack on screen wait... and I wait for 15 min with black screen, green led. I decide probably stupid thing, disconnect from cable and try to restart it but its not restarting. Now it have black screen, no led its working, not charging (was fully charge before I start) not responsive at all. I try to hold reset for 15s, 30s, 60s and nothing not switch on. Did I permanently bricked?
Probably, as kindle fire utility is only for first gen

Hello,
I have had my Kindle rooted fro quite some time but I didn't like it so I decided I would install the new ICS ROM that is out. However, this did not work so I tried to go back to the Kindle system using TWRP and the Kindle Update 6.3.1 from Amazon. Now, all I can see is the Kindle Fire logo for a few seconds then the screen goes black, with the backlight on. The light will stay on until the battery goes dead. Any suggestions?
After searching and reading many threads and trying several "fixes", I think my last resort is this post (at least before I try Firekit or similar). I hope I didn't miss the one thread that has my answer.
Background:
Using Win7 64 bit
KF 1st gen (I believe)
Completely stock
Using Amazon KF HD charger and USB cable Amazon supplied when similar issue happened with our other KF (that new charger fixed that one)
Symptoms:
While plugged into the charger the green light will appear and a few seconds later we'll get the "KINDLE FIRE" logo on screen, sometimes it's animated and sometimes not. Sometimes the logo appears for about 5 seconds and other times about 30 seconds. When the logo appears the screen back-light first starts out low and then after a second or so it will brighten until the logo disappears and the KF appears to turn off, at least until some seconds later the green power light will come on and the process starts all over and keeps repeating. On occasion during the cyclic boot process I have seen the slide lock screen which was unresponsive and once I saw the screen with the KF device name, time, WiFi status, batt level (and no I didn't notice), etc. Lately I haven't seen either of those screens again, just the logo or nothing.
I've downloaded the Android SDK and installed the drivers but when I plug the KF into any of my USB ports the KF is not recognized. So if I can't get the PC to recognize the KF I can't go any further with trying to restore to factory default using TWRP or similar.
So my question is does anyone have something else I/we can try before moving on to Firekit? Thanks to all for your time and attention. BTW Amazon offered to sell me a new KFHD for $129 but I just don't have that in my budget right now so your help is much appreciated.

You need a factory cable

I appreciate the quick reply. So my follow-up is to say I'm using the USB cable that came with the Amazon charger they sent when having problems with our other KF. Is that not a "factory" cable? If not, do you have any idea if this one would work: ebay.com/itm/like/271275399661?lpid=82 ??? Or do I need to spend $17 on this one: amazon.com/Factory-Amazon-Kindle-Motorola-Tablets/dp/B00BPDH4G4 ???
Thanks again.

Yes 'factory' as in the one they use at OEM to install software.
Build Your own factory Cable is also an option if you can solder tiny things.
My wife and I bought my father-in-law a Fire TV which worked fine for some time. Then he brought it to my house because it wasn't working any more. I don't know what he did, but all it does is hang at the initial boot screen (black screen, white Amazon logo). Amazon has sent us a replacement Fire TV, but they let me keep the brick. Is there any way to recover this Fire TV? I've read through some of the threads. Tried using a keyboard to enter recovery (didn't work). Haven't tried adb (I don't have a USB-A to USB-A cable).
Thanks!
same issue
i hadn't used my fire tv for a couple months but was working flawlessly the last time I did use it and now no matter what tv I try to connect it to or how many hdmi cables I tried I can't get my fire tv to boot past the initial boot screen of the white Amazon logo it don't make it to the fire tv logo or any other screen it's just a black screen and screens all say no signal. I had rooted it back before I stopped using it with towel root and had adb enabled but after I boot it and it goes past the Amazon logo to the black screen the logo the led on the box is white then starts blinking then turns an amber color and sorta pulses or blinks differently than the while led blinked. Any help would b much appreciated I have been searching all over several forums and websites for days and nobody seems like they r having this issue so I'm totally lost

Hello XDACommunity, I made an account just so I could ask you guys this question. I have a Kindle Fire HD6 4th generation and I rooted using Kingroot last night, all was good and dandy and this morning I left it with the screen on sitting on my desk, I walked away for a little bit and came back and the screen was off and non-responsive to anything. If I turn it on while its connected to my PC, a device named "MT65xx Preloader" shows up under "Unknown Devices" in Device Manager. This device will disappear after 3 -4 seconds and then re-appear after 3-4 seconds. Keep in mind that the screen does still not turn on. Thank you so much and have an awesome day
EDIT**
I do not have TWRP either. :/
