Stuck in recovery loop; Tried everything, nothing works

My friend from Korea bought a kfhd 8.9 here in the US and rooted it, but an OTA installed and bricked it. It keeps booting to the stock recovery. I tried getting fastboot to work, but the computer won't detect it, as well as the unbrick utility. Anything I can do?
It keeps booting to this

What attempts did you make to access fastboot?

Powering off, running cmd and typing fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product, plugging it in. It doesn't detect my device.
I noticed that when I plug it in, Windows makes the beeping sound that tells you something is connected, and something briefly shows up in the hardware and devices section, but then disappears.

Nothing shows up in the device manager when plugged in as well. And I did install the drivers.

You never know with Windows...Have you tried SoupKit?

I would try to remove all the drivers you have now and install the non signed drivers from the first aid perferd drivers and that should go without any problems once that is done you should have a working drivers. Depending if you have windows 7 or 8 on how to disable driver signature.

Alrighty, thanks guys. I give it a shot.

I tried again on a different computer, and followed the instructions for KF First Aide package up until I had to plug it in. A driver installation window popped up and driver not found I can't go beyond that. I pressed 12 to install the Amazon ADB driver.

I think the step your missing is to disable driver signature enforcement Search in google for disable driver signature enforcement Windows (then whatever version you have) and should find a way to do it, then connect kindle to the computer remove any drivers you see in device manager (and click delete driver if it gives you a check box) Then try the same thing and it should work!

I gave it a shot, but nothing is being picked up. Note that I can't even fully boot up the Kindle. It always goes straight to the stock recovery. Would an OTA disable ADB in the kindle?
UPDATE: Wow... I hit 9 to check fastboot status and it just happened to work, haha. Thanks a lot for your help!

:good::good: Great now that your in fastboot do you know what to do?
If you like could try my Rom but it will wipe your whole device(nothing on SDcard will be left)
here is the link if you like
It has some glitches still but it is automated from when your in fastboot. And dont forget to letup LMT on first boot.

Hm, I actually tried to do a complete restore through fastboot, since it's the only thing working, but when it finishes and the kindle reboots, it still goes back to the stock recovery screen. I can't run the unbrick utility or use anything that requires ADB, since it's not being detected through that ><; damn it. I thought I was on to something.

I was sending you that link because you don't need ADB to use what I linked, it goes right from fastboot.

Maybe, hard to tell since like you said you tried to go back to completely stock and it didn't work.

Alrighty, I flashed yours but I ended up with a red screen, but I figured out how to actually fix it. This kindle now run perfectly haha. awesome.

Ok thanks! I want to make a script to fix the red screen problem! I had it once but I forgot how I fixed it lol and I dont want to get it again to try to learn again how to fix

Pretty much all I did was get into fastboot via cmd, and flashed boot, system, and recovery individually; they were for 8.1.4. I was at work when I did it, so I can't remember where I got the files, but you get the idea.
However, I had to type: flashboot -i 0x1949 flash (whatever here) (dragged the file here)
Because putting the file in the same folder as my fastboot didn't work.
After that I just rebooted and it worked.

Nexus Dead?!

So, basically I downloaded cm10.1 nightly and it was rebooting every some hour, this morning when i turned it on it immediately started rebooting and it kept rebooting until i pulled the battery.
so i went to the cwm recovery and tried to flash a backup, but whenever i tried to flash the backup it also rebooted..
then i downloaded the google nexus toolkit and thought i could restore my nexus with it, but since i can't boot into android, i can't get adb access...
i'm really lost right now, does anyone know what i can do?
thanks in advance :crying:
error i get in the toolkit

Too many links I believe is usually a USB issue, either port on PC, port on phone, USB cable, or even drivers issues on your PC (as in USB driver issues). I could be mistaken on this, but I seem to remember reading that was the solution to this problem a while back.

Don't "push" threads, take it easy. It's not going to help if you're stressing about it, believe me. What's your platform-tools version? R16?

btw i got my nexus to boot to stock with a sideloaded zip BUT every time i wanna take a photo it freezes and reboots, and when i try to record a video it'll also freeze and reboot, it'll also freeze and reboot if i try to put something into the sd-card through usb, it also makes a loud popping voice everytime it reboots..

Soft Brick after installing April update

My wife installed the April update on her phone a few nights ago while I was asleep. After installation, she can't get past the boot lock screen. The screen doesn't recognize any input. I am able to reboot into recovery and would like to try a factory reset, but she has two months of baby photos on there that have not been backed up. I have tried mounting the phone from recovery but none of the computers I have tried will recognize the phone. Any suggestions on how to get the photos off of the device?
Thanks!

Perhaps I can use ADB to access the internal storage?

Try all the combinations of usb ports and cables you have. Aren't Microsoft and device drivers magical? There are other things you can try before you factory reset. BTW, was the phone rooted, encrypted or anything else before the update was applied?

It was stock. She received her replacement today. I never hooked up her bricked phone to my computer pre-brick... Maybe I can hook up the new one, install the drivers on my computer, and then mount the bricked one via Recovery.

That sounds like a plan. You could also try and mount the old phone to the new one with the included c to c cable. You are definitely in an interesting situation.

That's worth a shot. I've never done that before.
Now I don't know if I'll be able to even get into Recovery. The screen has started doing some weird stuff and I can't get it to shut down.

The phone comes encrypted. That might make things difficult. You said that the phone won't boot past the boot lock screen, so assume that you mean that the pin is required to fully boot the phone. Is that right? If so, adb pull won't do squat.
Another option is to buy an OTG cable and connect the phone to a mouse and/or keyboard and see if you can poke around and get things transferred.

Correct, it requires a pattern to fully boot. I think it might be completely fubared now anyway.

Yeah, but it's looking like I'll have no way to access it. Maybe once the battery dies I'll be able to reboot and the screen will work well enough to get into recovery again.

[Help] My Galaxy S20+ (SM-G985F) is not entering download (odin) mode but is entering

What's worse is that odin on my pc doesnt even recognise my phone anymore. Please help me (I'm not rooted). And yes, it shows entering fastboot mode.

you can power the phone off, press and hold both volume up and volume down, then connect your Galaxy to a computer using a USB-C cable. After July Update mine was having the same problem.

Just go to a Samsung repair center.
Take your phone to a Samsung repair center. They usually know how to fix these kind of problems, so this might be your safest bet.

Galaxy A50 doesn't get detected by Fastboot

Hey guys, i have a second phone, my Galaxy A50, and i wanna Flash a Custom ROM on it. But the problem is, that fastboot can't detect the phone. I tried everything i could, i installed a whole new Firmware, reinstalled ADB and Fastboot Drivers, restarted my PC like 5 Times. But Still i get the Driver problem. I tried to the method with the Google Bootloader Interface Drivers, but Device-Manager always put something like that. ADB detects my Phone but only fastboot can't detect it.
And Yes tried i OEM Unlocked it, but for some reason i can't unlock it anymore.
