Kindle Fire... Black screen forever!

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?

kindle fire black screen, botom led off

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

Stuck on initial boot screen

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

Please Help!

Hello, I have a problem with my Amazon Fire Tv (Not stick)
My problem is when turn on my Amazon Fire Tv it shows me a white Amazon logo and the screen turns black, the remote doesn't work, I tried to use 2 different tvs but no luck, I tried going into recovery mode with a keyboard but leads me in to a dead end that says something like "Amazon Recovery System 3e, your Amazon Fire Tv will restart in a couple minutes and should return to normal operations, if it does not restart you may pull the power to force a restart." Also, the light on the box is pulsing white then sometimes turn to orange and back and forth. This is not rooted or have a custom boot menu, its mostly used for Kodi.
Thanks.

Thats exactly what mine does. No luck here yet love to find solution.

I am getting this same screen!
Still no luck with this issue ?

Fire TV's downloading 6gb/day when idle

I have four Fire TV's, 2 gen 1, 2 gen 2. The FTV2's downloaded 6 gb/day while I was out of town. I had long wondered why I was using more data than I thought I was. Anyone had this problem? Is there a fix? I've disabled updates on both FTV2's.

any ideas?

how are you powering the fire tv? if plugged into a standard power socked I assume as with the fire tv stick it does not actually turn off. If powered via usb to the tv it will turn off so I assume that you are plugged into mains power and the device is still on and doing its stuff in the background thus using data. To use 6 gig i guess you was out of town for a while lol, anyway i think this is your issue and its not and error of any kind. to stop it unlplug the fire tv device when not being used

Was anything running when you left town or was it on the home page? Even if the screen saver kicks in 6gig/day is a lot.
You might want to think about making sure you fTV is in suspend every time you finish using it. The light on the front of the box should be off.
