Hi Guys,
I m using this Kindle 8.9 HD and was trying to root it few days back . Now its stuck at Kindle Fire Logo screen .
I have been seeing lots of threads but many of them are telling to use factory cable as my Kindle Fire just got stuck at <Waiting devices> when I m using normal cable . So want to try out with factory cable but not sure where to buy them.
So can anyone provide us some links for factory cable which worked for Kindle HD 8.9"
Thanks.

ok this is my situation...i got a kindle fire or kindle fire 2 off someone and when i got it i couldnt get passed the White and Orange Kindle fire logo so i decided to search these forums up and down trying different things...decided to buy a factory cable and i get to the Fastboot screen with the green blinking light and i get no further...i have never seen the home screen or anything..just that darn logo until the factory cable came in now im only seeing the fastboot screen...so im guessing this think cant be fixed.
im running windows 7 64bit and i have a linux live usb already set up.
i just wanna get this thing back to stock if its possible. if someone could possibly help me or if you need more info then by all means im here to listen or give the information needed to get this thing working again.
oh and i forgot the device comes up in the device manager as otter2-prod-04 ive installed the drivers from the android sdk
What you have is a Kindle Fire 2. Do not try to flash custom recovery on it until you visit the Kindle Fire 2 forums.

ok so i bricked my kindle and i have everything to fix it but when i plug my kindle fire hd in the computer dosnt pick it up. idk much but i read about some drivers needed so i tried installing ABD drivers so i would detect my kindle fire hd so i could fix it well they always fail to install idk why just dosnt install im on windows 7 and i dont even know if i need those any help at all is greatly appreciated
If its bricked it usually doesn't show up, you have to get it into fast boot mode with a fast boot cable in order to get your PC to recognize it. I saw u said HD though this is in the kf2 section, so I'm basing this on what I know about bricked hd's. I don't have a kf2.

Thank you and sorry about that i saw kindle fire and i was very mad about this kindle not working i have tried everything in my power but i must resort down to getting a fastboot cable i guess wish me luck
hard bricked kindle fire hd 7" fastboot cable flashing 8.9 bootloader,recoveries,ect.
So i had purchased a fastboot cable to unbrick my kindle fire hd 8.9 out of a boot loop. adb read great, ran fastboot and got it restored finally using kfhd tool. then started to attempt to load 2nds bootloader and twrp and now it seems to be hard bricked! won't even turn on or anything connected with the fastboot cable now and was working flawlessly earlier. major help would be appreciated ;please please--------------------------

edit:- so what i thought was the 8.9" kindle fire hd is actually now that ive opened into hardware had come to be the 7" Kindle fire hd . So i believe the source of my hard brick via the fastboot cable (that was working so i should have known right there) trying to flash 8.9" bootloader, and recoveries, and imgs. Is there anyway out of this mess? the only avenue i could think to even work would be attempt the linux usbboot shorting trick withg the command prompts. only problem im having is find a tutorial or a pic confirming what i support to short on motherboard. all i can find is on different hardware with the kindle fire hd 8.9". ive ran the kfhd utilities but just runs as cant not load img or device not reconized. help..........

This is the HDX forum. not the HD. You will probably get better answers from someone actively working on THAT device, than you will here. You really should never mess with things you don't fully understand & you should NEVER use tools designed for older models or other devices. Older devices have different hardware in many instances, so everything is different. Flashing bootloaders or firmware for another device is often time a fatal mistake. I could be wrong, again check in the appropriate forum, but unless you have a custom recovery or safestrap installed, you are likely up a creek, short of jtag & to be honest, with the way the newer devices are, even that is a long shot.
The shorting trick doesn't work on the HD models, well it does but it doesn't, we need a xloader or uboot(can't remember which) that is signed by amazon when you start the process because the processor is a high security model. Only amazon and TI have those files and they aren't public. If it is hard bricked the best bet is to wait until we get the pinout for a 7"HDs emmc, once we do that you can solder a USB sdcard reader to the motherboard of the kindle and reflash the boot loader from linux and it will run again, so far we can do this on the kf2 and the hd8.9" model but we still are waiting for the 7" HD pin out.

Hi, I have a kindle fire hd 7in tablet that has no os, when I plug it in it just boots and shows a kindle fire logo, then it disappears, and then returns. Is there a was to get an os on this device. Any os is good But I would rather have stock os! Im guessing that is hard bricked Any help would be great THANKS!
Hello. A friend of mine gave me his Kindle fire 2nd Gen thats stuck at the Kindle Fire logo. He rooted it and did fire fire fire and has version 1.4a on it and also TWRP. I can get into TWRP, I can use it as a usb device and send files to it through TWRP but have had no luck in fixing it. I bought a Fastboot cable (factory cable) and it will NOT go into fastboot no matter what I try (Kindle Fire triangle). Im beating my head against the wall on whats wrong with this thing and have read so much my eyes are gunna explode. I have tried every fixit prog out there. ADB commands....it doesnt even see the device. I just want to flash this thing back to stock and from all the reading I have done a fastboot cable is key. But it doesnt work. ANyone have some time to give me some help with this???? I would appreciate it greatly.
PS. I have tried All/Most of the fixit progs out there...KFHD, Kindle unbrick utility, etc
