So i dumbly attempted to root the Fire HD 10 last year they sent me a new one which is now busted. The bricked HD 10 will just stay on the fire logo forever, we lost everything last year in hurricane Harvey and I need this for my daughters and my online school how do I flash the original firmware, what can I do?

im in Ireland and since this is for the UK it wont work for me...
but could you register your device,
backup using titanium and send me the backup,
i want to see if this will allow me to bypass their uk restriction.
I am selling my iPad that I regret buying. I want something else. I'm between the kindle fire HD 8.9 and the galaxy tab 2 10.1 are there good reasons to get this over the galaxy? I see the specs difference. But I'm still undecided. And help would be appreciated.
Edit: I posted in the wrong thread. I didn't realize this was the first generation.

Gtab2 for sure lots of development, easy to root the HD will be a hassle from beginning to end spend a little more get a little more. I love my first gen. kindle but I`m am unimpressed with amazons second gen devices and locked bootloaders. I love my Gtab2 more than I think I could for Amazons new ways.
no doubt in the word the gtab
it has a great stock interface if you don't want to root it and its easily rootable as well as easy to flash roms etc...
Thanks for the replies.

I just purchased the Fire 8.9 HD, but I did it for my young kids. Kindle Free Time is a terrific program for kids and a dream come true for parents. If you're buying a device for yourself, go with the Samsung. The fire uses a proprietary skin over Android which really hampers the device as an Android tablet. Even so, there are still legitimate reasons to buy the fire.
Cheers...

If I could have afforded a nexus 10 or note I would have gotten one of those. I got a factory refurbished gtab for 290.

Hi all
Now that I rooted my kindle and would like to know the best way of adding space to my kindle fire 2?
I have only 8GB and that is very little if you want to download several apps and use the device for real
Any good suggestions here
You can't

I got one of these for my wife for Christmas and I know last year it was using the OMAP 4470, this years model only kind of specs I can find state "a faster 1.5ghz dual-core". So what is it? Surely it can't be an OMAP, TI exited the market a year ago! It doesn't matter much I'm just curious.

Well, is it a Kindle Fire 2 or a Kindle Fire HD 7 or 8.9? Does it have a front facing camera? Go into about device and look here to see which Kindle firmware you're using http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200529680 The reason I ask is this is the KF2 area and you stated new Kindle Fire Hd and so first need to get that straitened out.

OK, you have a Kindle Fire HD 7 2013 (KFSOWI) 11.x.x.x it will root using the files located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544736 It does have a dual core TI OMAP4 4470 HS 1.5 GHz chip set. At least that's what Amazon says although I have not dug into one personally yet. https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/specifications.html third one to the right.
I have been told that the new 2013 fire HD, no camera, has the same internals as the 2012 8.9" HD. If so, wouldn't the same boot loader unlocking exploit work? They both have omap 4470's, and the same bootloader/xloader stuff.

The bootloader is device specific, and since the hardware is a bit different it would just hard brick it. One thing I can think of that's different that might make a difference is the partition layout is different.
