My Kindle is not bricked. Just wanted to use the tool to experiment to go back. I can get into fastboot easily using the adb reboot bootloader command in the OP. But once in fastboot neither adb or fastboot recognizes the tablet anymore. Tried unplugging then back but it didn't help. Any solution to this you can think of. Thanks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] onemeila:
Get the device into fastboot and with it plugged in go to your device manager and right click the device that shows up(it will probably have a yellow triangle next to it. Then select update driver, then choose "browse my computer for device software", lastly choose "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Since you have adb working then you should have one that says "adb composite interface" or something like that. Install that one. After that it should work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Android Cowboy:
That worked, thanks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] starstremr:
So which is the best version to go to I am on 7.4.3
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] qoncept:
Can someone explain this to me? When I plug in the tablet it turns on (and sticks at the red screen). adb doesn't see it. If I turn it off, adb still doesn't see it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] onemeila:
You will need a factory cable, this is not the cable that comes with the device. It is a special cable that utilizes the fifth lead on a micro usb cable to enable fastboot.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] qoncept:
I made one, but I was maybe 50% sure of the continuity. I hope this means the cable was bad and the one I ordered should work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] qoncept:
Edit: Fastboot cable is working, but:

Which instructions am I supposed to be following? I tried every option in the list in different orders. All completed successfully, but every time the tablet turns on I still get the red screen.

Edit again: I'm in the wrong thread. Like an idiot.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] bstylz911:
so when i turn on my tablet on it turns into a red screen. i cannot do anything afterwards and it does not boot up.

i got my factory cable in and when plugged in it says USB UNRECOGNIZED. my tablet does say FASTBOOT on it.

i have flashed the drivers and even tried multiple computers

and when i try running the fastboot command it says WAITING FOR DEVICE.

please help
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] south956:
Then sorry to say but you don't have a "fastboot" factory cable, the cable isn't the one that came with kindle, it has to be specially made to trick your kindle into going into fastboot

Without it there's nothing you can do at the moment, unless you decide to make one or order one
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] bstylz911:
i bought the fastboot factory cable -_- and my kindle fire is in the FASTBOOT STATE.

i have attached a picture .
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] south956:
Whoops read it wrong, have you tried Kindle Fire First Aide, also try uninstalling all drivers then install KFFAide, then install drivers from program. It worked for me when I had same problem. I've bricked my kindle dozens of times and am still using it, thanks to KFFAide. Mine even said "Partitioning Failed" at beginning which is unheard of.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] bstylz911:
I will try this and hopefully it will work :(

Update

Tried but still unrecognized. :((

This was suppose to be a present for my mom
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] south956:
What computer system you using?

Did you set up KFFAide right? I haven't heard of a problem not being solved much less a non working fastboot by KFFAide.

Let KFFAide install universal driver instead of Amazon driver.

How to perform this step, i am getting a little confused here :

2.) Use KFHD_SRTool_v1.2 to flash system.img.

do we need to use some command for this ?

EDIT: Followed the instructions, selected option 1 to flash system.img, then erased user data and cache followed by running the commands

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img and then doing a reboot.

But condition is still same. My kindle is stuck at Kindle fire logo. Please help. Feel like i wasted another 30 USD on the cable
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] stunts513:
Did it error when you flashed boot and recovery? Also a dumb question but you sure its a kfhd 7" model? If you run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" it should report Tate if its a 7" model,if it reports otter2 I think that mean kf2, if it says jem its an 8.9” model, but fastboot cables shouldn't work with 8.9"models so its kinda irrelevant. Also if this doesn't work you can try using kindle fire first aid to flash it, just tell it no if it asks you if you want to put it in fastboot mode since the cable does that for you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r.sorujlall:
i tried this tool but even after everything it still reboot to fastboot mode.. even if i turn it on manually with the power button it still boots to fastboot mode.. i know my kindle battery is almost dead since i've been working on this for 2 days now.. is there anything else i can try?

So I got a Kindle Fire HD today, and wanted to get CM 10.2 on it first thing.

I read through all the tutorials and followed the steps explained carefully in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909

The Kindle is a 7" 2012 model, which had the latest software version (7.4.6) installed. I succesfully rooted the device and verified the root afterwards. When I got to the FireFlash part, I executed all the commands as required and afterwards, got a bootloop, which ended in the recovery menu.

I was able to access Fastboot and, as suggested in the tutorial, flashed the KFHD_SRT_v1.2.3- 7.2.3 files onto the Kindle. After that, I got another bootloop (strangely not ending in the recovery but rather rebooting ever 10 seconds) It turned off after I held the power button a while and now doesn't seem to turn on anymore. I have plugged it in now and will give it a try a little later.

I don't have a fastboot cable, my question is now, will a fastboot cable help me get this thing to work again? What could have caused my problems?

Thanks for all help.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] LinearEquation:
You must boot into the bootloader when doing a system restore. If you did not have the tool do it first, that would be a problem. Yes, you need a fastboot cord to access the bootloader now. You will want to download SDK so you can use ADB and fastboot commands.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] twolves14:
So I'm at step #3 trying to downgrade my system version. I have the "Kindle Fire HD System.img Recovery Tool v1.2" open but I'm not sure how I "Use KFHD_SRTOOL_v1.2 to flash system.img".

The options in front of me are:

1. Restore-su only

2. Restore-su, Go Launcer Ex, Apex, phonesky.apk/vending

3. Erase cache and userdata

4. Check fastboot status

0. Exit

I am on 7.4.6 and I"m trying to go to 7.2.1. The tablet is already rooted and currently in fastboot mode, not using a factory cable. Please help!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] LinearEquation:
Choose 3 first and the choose 2. You can remove the launcher if it don't suit you. It takes a few minutes to complete so be patient and don't pull the cord until complete.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psychoTR2:
If I would like to flash a custom ROM on my Kindle with 7.4.6, I first need to downgrade back to 7.2.3 in order to flash the 2nd Bootloader and TWRP (here). To do that, I would need KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0- 7.2.3 (separate option for restoring factory recovery), right? If so, what options do I select from there in order to make sure I can flash TWRP? Would I just need to install the 7.2.3 OS (option 1) or also its recovery (option 3)? Do I need to clear the userdata as well (option 4)?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] LinearEquation:
Using this tool is a factory restore. Once you do this, follow the tutorial thread to flash a 2nd bootloader/TWRP. The only thing that matters is that you're running 7.2.3 Amazon firmware when you're done. Just choose option 1 which restores with SuperSU.

I'm a flashaholic, I've come for my fix.

Ah, okay! Thanks a bunch!

How long of an expected wait?

SO finally it went from sending system to 'writing system', said all was well but never rebooted the device. I've tried three times w three different versions of this tool, any help would be appreciated
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] LinearEquation:
What are you waiting on? The Kindle to be recognized? Do you have the SDK package downloaded? You must have the paths set in your environment for this to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] KFlannigan5:
I ended up using 1.3.0 ( I believe) and it worked perfectly. The ONLY suggestion I have is that there should be a note that if the red screen of death persists even after the program gives a pass, to use option 3(?) and reinstall the stock recovery. I failed to do that and kept getting the red screen. Once I installed the stock recovery all went well. I end up giving up after I got it working and rooted. I rooted the latest update, installed KK Launcher & the Play Store along w a gmail acct, now its wrapped under the tree waiting for Wednesday, thanks to all who helped. Idk how y'all do what you do but I'm grateful to you for doing it
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] LinearEquation:
You may want to remove OTA updates is the tablet will be staying rooted without a custom ROM. An OTA update will break the root.

Hello, I have Kindle Fire HD and now my factory cable is arrived :) After 3 months.

I have red screen. When i put factory cable i can see on the screen "Fastboot kindle fire".

I was installed Kindle fire drivers and adb but when i type in cmd adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader" he told me Error...

In device manger i see my device Kindle fire HD and Android Kindle ADB...

Where is the problem?

Anywere suggestion? Also i can not download KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0 (seperate option for restoring factory recovery) or any other SRT... I downloaded 1GB but on finish he told me network error and file does not saved.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] onemeila:
I'm looking into the download issue. I don't have any problem downloading the files from the link but Ive had one other person complain of this. If the file is downloading though just failing at the end that sounds like an issue on your end. To answer your other question. You do not need to use that command if you are in fastboot mode(when the screen says "fastboot kindle fire" it means you are in fastboot mode). That cmd is for accessing fastboot if you can still boot the device. Fastboot and adb are totally separate that is why you are getting an error, and you cannot connect to adb while in fastboot. Also to get rid of the red screen you will need to use the option that flashes stock recovery and boot, as well as the system.img.

Sorry to folks out there for my lack of support with this tool. Life gets busy. I will try to make an effort to check in more often.

I have a kindle that wont boot but its different than last time I bricked it. This time it turns on to the kindle fire screen then it turns off after 8 seconds. I am able to get into fastboot mode with my factory cable and I used option 4 to check my fastboot status and it recognizes it. So here is my issue When I try to use this tool either option one or two it says error: cannot open images/system.img. So I had made a backups of of my system, boot and recovery images a while back so I used the command fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img and get error: cannot open system.img. Im totally stumped at this point and don't know what to do. Does anybody know whats goin on I need some help.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] LinearEquation:
You have to set up your environment to use fastboot. You can CD into that folder and manually flash the factory images. The backup you made is not an image but are particians that are flashable via a TWRP but not fastboot.

You may want to peak inside those zips too and make sure the images downloaded properly if at all.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] little-vince:
With the rise of smartphones our phones are pretty much just miniature computers with phone capabilities.

However with computers, you can easily modify the specs.

Like if my old computer is running slow I can buy an extra gig of ram, stick it in and it's fast again.

So I'm just wondering are hardware modifications possible with phones too?

I ask this because paying 50-100 bucks for an extra gig of ram is easier than paying 600-700 bucks for an entire new phone.

And let's say for example that the multitasking dual window thing from the Galaxy Note 2 DOES get ported to the Note 1 when Samsung release a TW JB rom in December or something.

But because the Note 2 has twice as much available ram than we do, are we practically able to use that multitasking feature at all?
