Finally got it thank you So much!!!!!!

I entered the commands manually I placed the images from the images folder directly in the folder and entered the following commands

Within the KFHD SRT 1.3.5 Folder

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img

I the wiped the cache and data.

Used KFFIRSTAID to reboot normal fastboot

I ended up on 7.3.0 Rooted

Thanks again

They are extremely large files. If someone wanted to mirror the files I would love to free up the room on my Google Drive.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] quachhong:
I got the files finally, thanks!

But my issue is still unsolved. I have kindle fire hd 7, I did flash a custom recovery, then something went wrong, I can see the kindle fire logo for less than 1 second at the start up, and then its is stucked at red screen, when I plugged to my of win7 following your instruction, it said unknow device, does it mean I don't get to the fastBoot? Please help. I think I follow everything you said here.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
You must be in fastboot first. You must make sure your pc can properly see the device. Then you need to push boot, recovery, and system

Little Help

Hello...I have my factory cable on the way, just doing some reading to make sure I know what to do when I get it. I have a Kindle Fire HD 7(2012): D025. I'm getting a 404 error when trying to download the tool (any suggestions where to get the tool)? Just so I am clear, when I get the cable, I need to downgrade the version and then I can install a ROM and GAPPS? For history, I was in the process of rooting it. When I got into recovery (TWRP), I tried to do a full back up and got a message there was not enough memory, so I did not do a full back up. Tried to install the Jelly Bean ROM and got a message it could not open the .zip file, so I backed out, did a restore and tried to restart and that is when it all fell apart. All I get now is the yellow (or orange, color blind) logo. Like I said above, factory cable is on its way, I just want to know what steps I have to take when it comes in. My goal is to run a Jelly Bean ROM once I'm back up and running. I remember that I did look it up and have a Kindle Fire HD 7(2012): D025. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all. I am trying to use the 1.3.5 tool to restore a red screened KFHD. I have the fastboot cable and am in fastboot, but when I try to hit option 1 or option 2, it keeps getting to sending 'system' and never finishes. When I use option 3, it looks like it completes. I reset my KF and then it goes to a restore screen where it wants me to restore or reboot normally. each option comes right back to the restore screen. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? Thank you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
First, you have a Kindle Fire HD with the front camera and hdmi out?

Second, try pushing recovery and boot but no system
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] johnychevyeg:
Yes, I have the 2012 KDHD with the front camera.

When I try pushing recover and boot it just hangs. Here is what it looks like

C:\Users\John\Desktop\Red Screen>fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img

sending 'boot' (8192 KB)...

C:\Users\John\Desktop\Red Screen>fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (8192 KB)...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
Are you using the fastboot cable to try and send the files? If so, try a regular cable.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] johnychevyeg:
well, i rebooted my computer and the device for the 10th time, ran option 4 to erase cache, rebooted, tried option 1 again, and it worked like a charm. I'm back in with 7.3.0. Now i'll try CM11 again.

Thanks for helping though, love this community.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] haraop:
I tried this with no luck. It's says that it's all OK but it just sends back to fastboot, and whenI get out of it I still have the boot loop
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
Make sure you are pushing boot, system, and recovery.

After getting my Kindle HD 7" unbricked everything is working other than the WiFi.

I've tried different versions of the KFHD restore tool. Factory reset, been trying everything I can for days now. No luck. Any thoughts?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
Does the WiFi attempt to toggle on and then toggle right back off?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] crxsi420:
Yes it does exactly that. Tries to turn on, waits about 60 seconds, then just defaults back to off again. All other functions are working.

I've tried every version and option of the KFHD tool I could think of. Factory reset as well over and over again.

WiFi did work before all this happened so I don't think the hardware is busted.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
My wife's kindle would do this occasionally. I think I had to go kill the file that controls the remembered WiFi networks. I'll see if I can find the file and let you know

I think you keep the first few lines and delete anything else
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] JediFonger:
i can issue adb commands and verify adb works... but i can't reboot into fastmode no matter what i try. part of all of the rooting requires downgrading to 7.2.3 that links here.

well i can't downgrade to 7.2.3 without rooting... thoughts?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
A factory cable will boot you directly in to fastboot
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] JediFonger:
a fastboot cable will do it but i think the usb cable that *CAME WITH* the kindle will not. i still have the cable here and it did not help me get into fastboot no matter what i did. i can't find on google whether the factory cable that came with kindle should be the same as the fastboot versions with pin1&4 connected. i ended up just ordering a cable myself
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
Sorry. Many of us use the terms factory cable and fastboot cable interchangeably. Yes, you need a fastboot cable.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] crxsi420:
Well no go on deleting the lines in that file. I've been playing with it for a few days and it just seems like the Wifi drivers aren't there. WiFi is grayed out all the time. I'm still messing with it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] JediFonger:
so i did end up purchasing a fastboot cable. and now fastboot works. YAY! so now i've downgraded to 7.2.3 but like crsxi420, i have no wifi. without wifi i can't download es explorer and i can't install and run fireflash....

any other tips on how to proceed? now i've spent more $ than i was originally wanting =P
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] crxsi420:
You can push files to the device by using adb.

Thanks, this worked great on my Kindle HD that was only showing a black screen for reasons unknown. However, I opened kindle free time and can no longer exit back to android. It asks for the parental password, when I try to enter it I get a message that Swype keyboard is an invalid version and it closes the keyboard. It will not let me type the password or change keyboards.

I tried a reset holding down the power button but it still boots into Kindle free time, any suggestions?

Edit: Reinstalling the fix still booted into free time. Factory Reset still booted into free time with no way to enter the Parental password.

I cleared cache and user data, then reinstalled the firmware and am now able to use the device, though I did lose all my apps. The defective swype keyboard seems not to be on the device anymore?

I installed the option with the Play store, but after logging in, I try to install or update apps and get an Error message?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] robbyr:
So after many attempts to get here, I think that I could possibly have a brick but I'm coming to the experts to verify...

I flashed 1.3:

Selected 4 then 3 then 2.

Everything seemed to flash correctly.

When I rebooted the kindle, it starts with the orange kindle logo and just blinks. I can still go into fastboot and run commands. PLEASE HELP! I have been searching for days for a solution.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
Forgive me but I am not at a computer right now. Could you tell me what steps are 4, 3, and 2?

You should be flashing system, boot, and recovery. Then wiping cache/user data
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] robbyr:
4. Clean cache

3.Write boot and recovery

2. Write system
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
Try going 2 3 4 and see if that works better
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] robbyr:
How do I go about that one? :)

Doh! 2 then, 3 then 4. Got it! ;)

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
Very Strange. Just to confirm they all complete with no errors?

You have a kindle fire 7 (With front camera and mini-hdmi port)?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] robbyr:
They did all complete OK and I do have the front camera and mini hdmi port.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
I would download one of the other versions and try it as well. That is the process I've used on dozens of Kindles (Demo models included) and I've never had one fail, but I don't usually use the 1.3 version.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] robbyr:
I have tried 1.2.3 and 1.3.0 with the same results. I will give 1.3.5 a spin...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Red_81:
I've quoted a few newer images.

Try using option 1 instead of 2. Just want to rule out Google Apps
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Questionar:
I flashed the system file to my kindle fire hd in fastboot and now all it does is flash the boot logo, when I plug in the fastboot cable it doesn't go into fastboot mode. I flashed the system file without the tool because it wasn't recognizing my device. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

Did anyone ever win this battle?

I had recovered my Kindle Fire HD, had it working, and it OTA updated.

I just re-ran KF SRT to get back to stock, but lost wifi in the process.

I have since went from 1.30 to 1.35 to 1.23 to no avail.

Not sure what to try next. Any tips? Thanks.

Hey guys, hope someone can help me here. I got a Kindle Fire HD "7 (2012), and last year I couldn't use it anymore because it kept freezing whenever I try to open the apps or home (it is not rooted). My power button isn't working anymore (broken) and the only way to open my kindle is when i plug it to charge. I finally got the Fastboot cable that I have ordered online (it took awhile because I live in South East Asia and can't find it anywhere) so I'm hoping i could restore my Kindle to factory settings (just delete everything) so I could use it again. Is it safe to use this recovery tool with my kindle? Is it safe to plug the Fastboot cable even if the battery is dead or if the kindle is open?

Please, if someone can answer my questions, you can save me from heartbreak.

Guys really hope this is the right place for asking fo0r help if not i apologize.

OK I'm a new kindle owner, first time, and the device i got hold of is the kindle fire HD7, and i have found its come with the cyanogenmod already installed.

However i would like to take it back to factory stock normal.

So been at all day at this, im a bit of a noob at the kindle, but very tech savvy, so things ive done today are....

Download a number of software update files from Kindle, pretty sure i had the correct one , but, i then change the bin file to a zip file as some posts have instructed, i then boot to 2.7.7 TWRP, I wipe the device,

But when i go to flash back to the stock using the bin file, it fails, but gives an error message i can read...."failed, this is for Thor, yours is a Tate"

So please can someone give me any idea what im doing wrong. but more importantly get my Kindle back to stock factory device, it looks like i need a tate version of the update file..

Appreciate any help.

Well, none of these images will work for that device. I believe you will need a fastboot cable to force your device into fastboot mode. Then, if you have a stock image, you could restore the device.

I did this on a demo hdx, but that was years ago. I would search Xda for kindle fire hdx Thor fastboot. That might help you find what you need.

How can I get a system.img file for the Kindle Fire HD 7" 3rd Generation aliased SOHO? The latest software version is 4.5.5.3 so this included img files wont work. I dont even care about root if I can get the tablet working. I would also prefer stock recovery if possible too.

I would love to unbrick and restore factory OS but cant seem to find a working solution that gets me all the way to the finish line.

I can get to fastboot mode and have a fastboot cable. Im also using Windows 10 64bit with all drivers properly installed.

PLease help as I am out of my depth and have tried looking through this thread but there is so much and a lot is for rooted kindles.

My little boys kindle fire HD 7 2012 uk version is stuck in the booting up graphic.

It is not rooted, doesnt have twrp or anything like that.

There was no major crash or anything, just stuck when turning off/on as a reboot (maybe too quickly).

Can anybody tell me how I can clear cache without it booting? I have tried the "hold down volume and power then turn on" suggestion but I just cannot get that to work at all.

I do own a fastboot cable but no idea what to do with it.

If all else fails I would have to do factory reset but also cannot get to that at startup, just kindle flashy logo. going left to right.

Sadly I have no idea what system, OS version, bootloader etc I am on (sorry).

Please help, Is there something I can use with the turning on/off to clear cache, or something I can do with the fastboot cable (plugging it in gets it to fastboot screen but then I have no idea what to do and pc says failed to load drivers).

Please please help

Alex

Ideally I am just hoping to be able to clear all the cache partition in the hope it will boot, but cannot get to that option in startup at all.

Yes this tool was made with a backup of the system.img from v7.2.1. It should not matter what version you are currently using. When I made the backup, to confirm downgrade was possible I used a previous backup and downgraded from 7.2.1 to 7.1.5 and it worked no problem.

Very bad tool. It bricked my Kindle.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] onemeila:
I'm sorry to here that, the thing is this tool was primarily made to unbrick your device. Also the only thing this tool does is flash a system.img(and erase cache and userdata is you chose to), so if something was messed with outside the system partition it does no good.

I personally used this tool many times and have confirmed others that have used it with no problems. Now if you could be more specific as to exactly what happened and the reason you were using this tool maybe a solution could be found, in the process helping me and others if there is a problem with it. Lets try to figure this out before claiming it is a "bad" tool.

I can see there seems to be a problem with a file missing(from platform tools of sdk) to allow this to downgrade the system. If someone can point this out please let me know. Although I no longer own the 7" model so I cannot test this myself. That said if anyone would like to take over updating this tool for the 7" feel free.
