This is the damned truth never better spoken lol
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] TOM XIE:
:( What should I do if I connect my kindle to PC without any reaction? I had done factory reset before. ADB cannot be recognized, nor do any special USB stuff. I thought mine got bricked for build.pro and I can just turn it to original recovey. Can you help me, please?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Need more info & less quote. lol...

Does it turn on at all? What is on the screen? Is it lit, but looks like it's off? What EXACTLY did you change in the build.prop? Even a brick is usually recognized as SOMETHING when the device is attached (at least in Windows), so if nothing is being recognized, you may have an issue with PATH or just a finicky sdk installation. Are you on Windows or Linux?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] TOM XIE:
Thank you for helping me! I followed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582773 and replaced buil.prop offered. I can turn it on by holding power button for several seconds and it showed the gray "kindle fire" logo for a few seconds,then turn off again.By the way,I am using win7 and I have no idea about PATH and sdk.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] scx110a:
Tried, and failed... Since my kindle fire stopped at the sliver kindle fire screen and it reboots again and again, I can't even get the access to adb...

I think maybe I need to request a replacement from Amazon...Or someone could give me a usable System image and fastboot.exe.....

EDIT: Weird....After 10 minute's rebooting, my kindle suddenly works....Everything seems to be fine....
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
[MENTION=5636180]TOM XIE[/MENTION] If you used that build.prop provided in that thread, then you replaces yours with one meant for the 7" HDX. You need to download the update.bin from Amazon & extract it (it is just an archive zip). You will then have wht you need.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Not weird at all. This will occasionally happen until the corrected changes make it into the Dalvik. Tense stuff I know, but jcase finding the device vulnerable to the master key #2 is a blessing in disguise. Hard for simple errors to really mess things up. Not saying go at it, but simple changes of most things (do not mess with bin, xbin or any of the basic systemui framewor-res) will not be a total loss.

Now I just need to take the time to decompile tiwee's Play Store mod & see if I can't find a typo or something amiss.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] TOM XIE:
I have downloaded update.bin from Amazon. The most difficult part is that my kindle cannot be recognized as anything.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Are you running Windows or Linux?

Also, do you have the Android SDK & the JDK installed.

Both of these are important steps. Also, was the device rooted & if you plug it into the USB port in a windows machine, do you see anything happen in Device Manager? It should fail to install the device (MTP) but if you have everything installed, you should try running it in a terminal directly in the sdk tools directory.

Also, have you updated your environmental or pam.environmental file as well in your bash file?

EDIT: I just went out on a limb again & I pushed the HDX7 build.prop to my device & rebooted. I was able to cp the repaired build.prop, so tell me everything you have done (what you tried & changed, modded or installed into system or root on the HDX) & check the above tips.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] scx110a:
Hope you good luck.... That's really a complex thing since Amazon did so many changes to the DownloadProvider....

May ask you a question? plz

I have still brick my device my device is hdx7. My latop os window7.

Connect my kindle to laptop's usb port. My laptop is.shown qhsusb_bulk so i follow your step but

Not booting my device. Now i know my device 's system erase. Second step i connect nomal cable but shown unknown

MTP device. Plz help me. Do you know adb work? On my win7 laptop?

Or another method? Plz please help.me sorry for my english
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Need to leave device alone for an hour or more while unpluged, no PC, no power.

After that hour, then press & hold the power button for 3 minutes, or until device starts. If it does not start into bootloap, then release the power button & let sit for a few minutes. Try to turn it on again.

Also, what did you do to the device? What did you mod, or change or add that caused the issue?

As for Windows, I have found that for adb to work on the HDX, you need to have the SDK installed & that sometimes it will not recognize the device from anywhere but the sdk folder.

Also, I had some issues getting some of the commands to work occasionally in Windows, which is why I choose to do these things in Linux.

Hello,

My kindle is bootlooping on the grey kindle and orange fire logo. This is a HDX 7.

I rooted, went a bit crazy with uninstalling kindle bloatware, screen went black, thought factory reset would do the trick, end up in bootloop.

My computer recognizes the kindle so what should I do?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
FIRST & FOREMOST, my guide, any files contained within & the files/exploit from jcase are for the HDX 8.9, not the 7" version. I do not have a 7" version.

So you have SafeStrap installed & you created a rom slot before doing anything else, RIGHT? You followed the directions on that post? Or did you try to manually copy things over? I do not delete anything in mine, but I have 64Gb. I also do not know anything about the safestrap, which you should have, if you followed those directions, since I have an 8.9 & there is no safestrap for the 8.9 yet.

So, do you have safestrap & were you working in a rom slot partition? You say flashing, so I assume you have safe strap. You should be able to get into the safestrap recovery & flash the backup it tells you to make I think. Again, I have no safestrap, so I am not certain.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Recognizes device as WHAT? Do you have adb access? Are you talking about HSUSB_BULK? Again, I do not have a 7" version. This guide is specifically written for the services.odex bootloop. If you installed safestrap & followed the directions, you should have a recovery to fall back on with an update possibly?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] KindleFireGuy:
Help :c

I was changing stuff around in the build.prop and im bricked. After the grey kindle fire I get a black nothingness. But... I got it recongised as a ADB Device! (Aka Android Composite ADB interface) How would I replace the build.prop through this. I also get my device ID in ADB Devices :D

I can also boot into fastboot by the command of adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"

I can also use fastboot commands too.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] amazonhdx:
please write like you got adb?

after replacing all values 310079820 ​​to the value 310079819 as written in post # 4

and restarting - kindle fire hdx 8.9 shows a gray logo and then a black screen before reaching the orange iridescent logo.

reset via recovery not help. adb not work (for push buld.prop from stock firmware)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] KindleFireGuy:
If it is recongised by the computer just go to the device manager and uninstall the drivers then reinstall them as ADB composite under the kindle part.

HDX 7

I know this is for 8.9, but I've seen OP helping a lot of people here, hopefully if he's got some extra time he can guide me through some troubleshooting steps?

Kindle Fire HDX 7"

Was rooted... get to that in a bit.

Background: Purchased new in December-ish when there was a sale on it. Rooted->Tried to install GAPPS the original way that caused FCs, and inability to download apps. Decided to undo that and wait for a more reliable way. I had been having horrible battery life, and couldn't track down the cause (maybe root or the failed GAPPS or some other cause), so I wanted to roll back to stock by using the BUILD.PROP edit method.

Using ES File Explorer + my root, I renamed my original build.prop and copied over the one provided in the thread.

Reboot.......nothing.

Grey Kindle Fire -> Black screen-> nothing.

Tried a few more reboots and nothing.

Eventually either I got into Recovery inadvertently or it booted me to recovery, either way....I attempted Factory Reset (goodbye Root I'm sure).

And now.... Nothing.

When I plug into my Win7, nothing is detected.

I have Android SDK and JDK installed.

I have Kindle Fire ADB Drivers installed.

Verified they worked by using my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and adb settings. It shows up in device manager as KindleFire->Android Composite ADB Interface.

adb devices displays my FireHD 8.9 and my Atrix HD.

I've attempted the "secondary boot" _BULK method, and nothing is displayed in Device Manager.

As of now I can only boot my Kindle Fire HDX 7" into Recovery.

I have to hold power for quite a while before the Kindle boots up at all.

I know others have had this same problem with the build.prop, and have given up after getting a new unit from Amazon. I prefer not to do this, and try to get it up and running. But I'm a loss right now, on next steps.

Thank you for your time and consideration and any help you can provide.

Edit:

I do not have a fastboot cable, but can probably make one at work this week.

the fact that the black screen after gray logo does not show any devices. Not new, not adb

same here.please help us GSLEON3 please....

I know that kindle connect to laptop by fastboot cable qhsusb_bulk shown my laptop
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] ydgmms:
Made a fastboot cable and sure enough, QHSUSB_BULK shows up. Found some Qualcomm drivers.

But can't do much else with that.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Listen guys. I am very busy right now & we just had a death in the family, so I will be out of town all weekend.

I have purposely bricked my device several times, including changing framework while signature checking is still in place. I even swapped a bunch of HD 8.9 framework files & was stuck in a boot loop there I thought I'd never be able to recover.

A few tips & then you can try things out for yourself, just like I did each & every time.

#1. Wiping the device *CAN* be a good thing, but not always. You see, wiping the device (if you can get adb access) allows you to re-root the device, which will enable access to adb shell in SU. That way you can issue commands like "adb shell"; "su" "mount -o rw,remount /system". That will then allow you to do thing like rm (remove) framework file or app files that are gumming you up.

#2. Play around. I have especially found that dual booting is a blessing. Occasionally, there are things that just aren't working in Linux, or in windows for that matter, that I can do easily in one or the other platform.

#3. Remember, better yet, write down everything that you do & always have a copy of the firmware update downloaded & extracted for easy access to pushing.

#4. If you cannot push a certain file to the /system, try pushing it to /data/local/tmp & then using a shell su command like cp (copy) to accomplish what you want.

#5. PERMISSIONS!!! & OWNER!!!! - Remember, Android is Linux & Linux HATES wrong ownership or permission settings. When in doubt, permissions like 644 or 755 are usually your best bet, along with root ownership.

#6. Setting permissions is done in shell or shell su. Here is an example: 1. >adb shell 2. >$su 3. >#chmod 755 /system/app/whatever.apk

#7. Setting ownership is nearly identical. Here is another example: 1. >adb shell 2. >$su 3. >#chown root.root /system/framework/whatever.jar PLEASE note, that in Windows, you use a (.) period between the two root ownership commands. In Linux, you will use a colon.

#8. Remember, if you are dealing with apk's or jar's that include odex files, you can use the * flag to indicate a wildcard. For instance, adb shell rm /system/framework/whatever.* will remove any files, regardless of the extension (jar/apk/odex) that has the name whatever. in it.

If you know what files you changed & you can get adb access in either Linux or Windows, you CAN ABSOLUTELY recover your device. Just relax, take a deep breath & don't panic. Read some of the old posts & tut's on using adb. You will learn a little something & the one day you need it, you will be happy you spent the time to learn the basics.

Sorry for the loss.

Unfortunately, I do not seem to have ADB access. :/

QUOTE=ydgmms;49319932]Sorry for the loss.

Unfortunately, I do not seem to have ADB access. :/[/QUOTE]

Are you using Windows or Linux?

If Windows, then install Unbuntu in a small 4Gb partition. If you cannot, then at least read up on & install Cygwin.

I can tell you that many times one works when the other does not.

Also, (if running Windows) try going into your /windows/system32 folder & COPY the file cmd.exe to your android-sdk/platform-tools folder. Open CMD from the platform-tools folder & running adb devices. If you are running Linux, install the nautilus-open-terminal package. This will allow you to open terminal windows in whatever directory you are in, like sdk/platform-tools in Linux. I have found that sometimes adb will not work in other directories as reliably.

I have botched just about everything trying to find ways to help others (I have a brother that works at Amazon, but hate seeing rma's due to lack of responsibility, it raises prices & lowers the lengths customer service is willing to go after a while due to loss prevention & management). At any rate, I have nearly replaced all of my framework with empty text files. wiped my build.prop & blown the e-fuse using modified fwupdate & bin packages. Every time I have been able to recover. Sometimes it takes a few days (6 is the most). Seriously, while I have been around a long time, I stopped doing any dev or modding two years ago & even that was just a learning process. I am not a developer & have no formal computer training. If I can figure it out, I am confident you can too. Maybe I will look into getting a 7" HDX. I only have access right now to the HDX 8.9, new HD 7" & the HD 8.9 LTE. While they are similar, sometimes little differences can have a huge effect, at least for unseasoned hackers on these secure-ish devices.

At any rate, I will keep checking in & hopefully we can get you up & running. try the items above & answer the questions & I'll kick it around a bit & see what I can come up with.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] doggyxxx:
Hi,

I was following this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600450 to fix my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9's lock screen pic.:

1. Using Root Explorer from the Amazon Market, go to: /system/framework and copy (do not move!) framework-res.apk to your SD card.

2. Plug your Kindle into the computer and move the framework-res.apk (from SD card) to your computer and make a back up copy.

3. Use 7-Zip to open the one you intend to modify

4. Open the "res" folder then the "raw-xhdpi" folder.

5. You'll find 22 jpeg images in this folder, 11 images with the "_p_" in the file name.

6. Replace the "_p_" jpegs with the images you want, keeping the names exactly as they are. DO NOT delete any images. You can use 11 different images or the same one over and over again. I highly recommend formatting each picture to 1600x2650 like the originals.

7. Close 7-Zip and the new framework-res.apk will be saved, move this back to your SD card.

8. Open Root Explorer.

9. Copy the framework-res.apk to /system.

10. Long press on the framework-res.apk file and change the permissions to rw-r-r. (This is critical, failure to do this will cause a bootloop)

11. Move framework-res.apk to /system/framework. Overwrite the existing file.

12. The Kindle will automatically reboot and your new wallpapers will appear on the lock screen

Unfortunately I've missed step 10 and done step 11 , and now my Kindle has gone into bootloop at the Kindle Fire logo. Can you help? My Kindle has been rooted, no hard reset after it's become brick, and I've a back up copy of the orginal framework-res.apk. Would you please advise how to save the Kindle? Many thanks!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Hazado:
So i changed my build.prop to 819 instead of 820. Did not change the file permissions back to default, and did not put the update-kindle-14.3.1.0_user_310079820.bin on my kindle fire hdx 8.9.

Did a restart. Get grey Kindle Fire logo, then goes away. Nothing happens after this.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I wanted to go back to default. I doesnt get recognized in my system at all.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Man. How did you change build.prop? On the device, live with root explorer? On you laptop/desktop? Are you using Linux?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Hazado:
On the device with the app root browser.

Edit:

Im using windows, I can get it into the system recover menu, but thats it.

Nothing else works.

Guess i will have to wait for a fastboot cable and see what I can do.

Does anyone have a stock system.img for the HDX 8.9 yet?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] ydgmms:
Same here.

Haven't had any luck. Tried some linux, never got ADB to recognize. Made a fastboot cable, can only get the QHUSB_BULK mode to show. Got drivers for that, but nothing else worked.

Might not be "bricked" but don't see it recovering ever.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
What screen are you on? Also, you must make certain there are no spaces in the folders you are working in if in Windows. I have had grey screen, orange kindle screen & black screen bootloops & soft bricks & I have been able to recover every time using a variation of the included commands, of course changing out whatever specific file/ modification caused the specific issue.

If you have an orange logo screen, you can ABSOLUTELY get ADB acccess. Something is amiss with your setup or you have something screwy in your paths.

If you have a grey kindle logo screen, you can get ADB, but you will have more luck in linux. Make sure you follow guides on setting up everything & correctly setting permissions & making files executable using terminal & chmod. Use google to find why you are having the issue & double check your installation against other Linux guides for setting up adb & the sdk.

if your screen is lit, but black, things can get a bit tricky. Depending on what you did, you may or may not be able to get adb access. It all depends on how far the device is booting & what it has mounted. Sometimes you can force a mount with a mount or remount adb command, but I have recovered these issues exclusively in Linux.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] amazonhdx:
I realized when connecting factory cable (from HD-version) HDX run is qhsusb (not fastboot). And recovery should be carried out through it using QPST.

I see it as:

1. run QHSUSB_BULK mode

2. install driver (http://www.mediafire.com/download/xnjxkd49dn9d75j/QualcommDrv.zip) and QPST (http://www.mediafire.com/download/grmnmxag37lr34o/)

3. run eMMC Software Download

4. find mbn and hex files for eMMC Software Download, click Download button and change to Diagnostics mode (in device manager computer must view Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9006)

5. upload normal system, recovery e t.c. images (where to get them?)

!: Need change Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 to Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9006 for flash.

and the need to make a copy of the system partition (mmcblk0) from working Kindle
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] gbgadgets:
factory provision tool

Has anyone messed with the factory_provision_tool binary that is on the HDX? It seems like there would be options there to possibly change the state of the HDX to be more/less secure. I would like to know if anyone has attempted to change the board_id fourth byte to something other then '4' 0d0400 or 0c0400 to 0d0300 or 0c0300 with idme print command so that the factory provisioning might write engineering drm info. Or, if anyone has tried to issue other factory_provision_tool commands like enable_secure_boot or other idme commands for boot mode and unlock code. I was thinking of messing with this a little, but with a risk of bricking, I wanted to ask an expert if it would be worth messing with. I am an amateur trouble shooter and not a developer.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Yeah? Let me know how that goes. I tried that route when I was trying to help out another brick, but had little luck.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] amazonhdx:
step 1. (change mode 9008 on 9006)

need files for QPST:

- MPRG8974.hex (perhaps another name)

- 8974_msimage.mbn (perhaps another name)

- rawprogram0.xml

- patch0.xml

step 2.

need a clone of the working partition of the normal kindle hdx 8.9

step 3.

load clone partition to problem kindle (example HDDRawCopy on windows)
