The guides in those forums are not for the 2013 Kindle Fire HD. Because this was never clear, many people bricked their KFSOWIs. I understand the index is for XDA, but all info for rooting KFSOWI is at KFSOWI modding on G+.
Also, the device specs and descriptions for 3rd gen 2013 KFHD are incorrect. There's no camera on the KFSOWI. Amazon's product page here links to the 2012 model (idiots!), so is also linked in your post.
Amazon's correct product page is here (It's misleading though, including HDX models with camera and other features...)

What is a Fastboot Cable
Factory Cable, Fastboot Cable, and Motorola Programing Cable are all the same thing.
The usb cable that came with the device , is just a stock usb data cable.
With a fastboot cable, Power (+) from pin 1, is moved to the normally unused pin 4.
Using a Fastboot Cable forces Some Amazon Fires into Fastboot Mode which will allow Flashing Firmware,

Fastboot Cable Pinout
Motorola Uses
Many Motorola Devices are hardwired to bypass the battery, and power the device directly from pin 4.
"So you flashed your phone and now it thinks the battery is dead (even though it's not) and it won't let you flash it again to fix it? Or, your battery really is dead and you don't have a way to charge it because your phone is soft-bricked and won't charge the battery. What do you do? With this cable you don't even need a battery in your phone." - By Team Black Hat

That didn't help. Then I was told to remove my google accounts. That didn't help. I think I updated with the incorrect version of services. I was following the instructions fron AndroidPIT.

I own several Kindle devices, and have used Shadow's guides in the past... but some how never came across this incredible index! Sometimes when attempting a project on an android device, most of the work is searching through XDA forums, this post is excellent and should be a model for other posts/devices.
This is an incredible resource! Just wanted to post and say bravo sir. :good::good:
