I follow this instruction but I still can't get it

At the step, connecting the device to the computer, I follow it but can't see "kindle" in "device manager", so I stuck with it again

And how can I enable ADB on the device when my kindle is bricked
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
try

Charge your device at wall for 30 min. Unplug 30 sec. Retry.

Btw it wont show as kindle. Might be mtp or usb device ect.whatever pops up after u charge it well then plug into freshly booted pc. Give it a min to show on pc...when a new device is seen let it do wharever for a min. Then retry if u have really fd it up by a factorty reset then you have to explore way more complex options but hopefully that is not the case.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] tuilakhang:
"Retry" in your post means factory reset?????
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

How do you get factory reset out of retry? Do not repeat do not if you have not already done a factory reset you will and probably permanently break your device if you have not already done it please do not. Retry merely pointed to retry the steps at in the above by uninstalling the drivers of whatever device shows up when you plug in your Kindle. Please read carefully you will ruin any chances of recovering this device if you have not done it already.. Wow person... You really need to read like five times and really concentrate on comprehension before you do any steps at all this is how you ended up in this predicament please do not move any further into you understand exactly what is being said do you.. As a matter of fact you just about gave me a coronary and it's your device I may have to step away from this and let you do as you please or let you wait until somebody with more patients can come and help you I do apologize.. I meant go back and retry the steps of uninstalling the USB or mtp or whatever device pops up in your device manager when you plug in your Kindle now... Drivers and then begin that earlier post over again about trying to install the ADB drivers... You know the earlier post you quoted me and when we first started talking where you said you couldn't get it done and I started responding... Definition of retry. Retry = try that again
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] tuilakhang:
I'm so sory if I misunsderstand what did you said, I try too follow all the instruction with my " bad English" so sometime I can't understand all of what you said, but believe me, I was tried so hard

And thanks you for your patient.

this is my first time with a bricked device, so I has factory reset it several times when it's start to bricked, so do I make it worse.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
Unfortunately

Yes very much so . You may have removed the binaries necessary to achieve the recovery of this device but really there is not much more damage you can do at this point to retry the above directions

I am bricked at the kindle fire screen. I used the towelroot and block auto update from the new .94 tool. Then I used the old hdx8.9 batch file and ran "remove signature check" and "fix wallpaper" because it used to be that my live wallpaper worked if I clicked very quickly before the livewallpaper program crashed, but I couldn't get it working after rerooting since kindle update had broken root for a long while. Anyway, that was the wrong thing to do. At first I was not getting adb at all. But if I uninstall and delete then reinstall the adb driver I can get adb to work for a little while. Not sure what to do to get back working. I tried to chmod 755 a bunch of stuff like in the instructions here... but I'm not sure what the "remove signature check" and "fix wallpaper" scripts do. What did they screw up? I was working pretty well before I ran those scripts :/
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
?

What scripts? You need to give all the information and links to or are you referring to xposed and hdx module? And you should know that you should not be doing anything to this device that you don't understand completely there is no easy recovery. Especially after you start giving adb commands that you don't understand or at least completely explained http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2786190 first post explains why? What commands and where did you get them ?

Why would you attempt to use anything for the old firmware on the new firmware when you knew it even took a different root ?

Whatever you do do not factory reset... Sounds like you probably really borked it up already. But they factory reset may seal the deal do not repeat do not factory reset Probably should not continue to give any commands and you need to record everything that you have done. Put it in the drawer and wait for the author of this thread to come help you he's one of the few that may be able to. Or possibly( r3pwn) but you must stop throwing random commands at and go back and document everything that you have done so far in detail and be prepared for one these people to help you. Technically you havent even told anybody what device you have exactly what firmware you have exactly etc. etc. etc. I am checking out. I would follow my advice power down and put it in the drawer and document what you have done to contact one of the people mentioned or pick a favorite this is not something one of the random people or I will be able to just just point you to something this is not a one click repair good luck and goodnite.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] dcoig1:
kindle fire hdx 8.9 lte. I think it had updated to the newest firmware and that's when I lost root.

I used the following commands:

chmod 755 /data

chmod 755 /data/local

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp

mount -o rw,remount /system

chmod 755 /system/framework/services.odex

chmod 755 /system/framework/

I think this is all I put in the adb shell... I didn't try to push any files because my problem is not with the build.prop

as far as I can tell I didn't really do anything but change permissions.

Is there a way to just flash back stock and start over? I really hate this amazon BS. Forever, forever hate amazon for this.

The scripts I ran were like you said for an older firmware probably. I didn't think about it. I know not to fudge around with the system files, but I didn't realize that's what the scripts do. They were from an old version of the .94 tool basically. I found that the remove signature check script contains this code:

cd /data/local/tmp

mount -o remount,rw /system

cp services.odex /system/framework/services.odex

chmod 644 /system/framework/services.odex

and the wallpaper fix contains this code:

:wallpaper_fix

cls

call :wait_device

echo Pulling framework-res.apk ...

%adb_exe% pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk .\scripts

echo Updating framework-res.apk ...

%zip_exe% -0 -u -j .\scripts\framework-res.apk .\scripts\resources.arsc

%adb_exe% push .\scripts\framework-res.apk /data/local/tmp

%adb_exe% shell su -c "mount -o remount,rw /system"

%adb_exe% shell su -c "cp /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk"

%adb_exe% shell su -c "mount -o remount,ro /system"

echo Cleaning ...

del .\scripts\framework-res.apk

echo Done, push any key to continue ...

Unfortunately like you probably read in the thread I pointed You to there is no fastboot accessibility in other words no way to just flash the system without it running or in brick circumstances the bootloader is locked so we can't push anything custom to it but it looks like you at least have some knowledge of what is going on and what you have done to the tablet and some understanding of what is going on.I am a mechanic I do not have expertise here but from my understanding that should be reversible especially if you can maintain or gain ADB access to possibly push the framework res files if needed but like I said I would not attempt it myself without one of those people two peoples guidance. But from what it looks like it appears repairable you just need the right guy here and I apologize that I am not the one I'm usually pretty good about Pointing people in the right direction for the proper stuff because I do a lot of reading here a lot of research and I own three HDX myself all Wi-Fi and I apparently am pretty good at following directions because out of eight tablets and six phones in the house I have never had permanent bricks so I would attempt to send the r3pwn member or the author of this thread a PM and point them to this post of yours and these details or even the OP author of the HDX utility tool a PM with these details and you should be fixed up in no time. But like I said please save yourself and do not factory reset at least for now until one of those three people tell you it's necessary. Now there may be other folks here capable of helping you out but I am just sure that one of those three could quite easily take care of it with the details you have now supplied good night and good luck to you you have read this whole thread? This may have been brought up in the first five or six pages I missed a couple because I am I did not own 8.9 or have these issus actually I have not had any of these issues I've been very fortunate with reading the whole threads and using stuff properly before I been and very fortunate not to have bricked any of my hdx

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Was there not a reversal part of that utility because if you still have ADB even though it will not all the way boot it may still work
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] dcoig1:
Thanks man, it is pretty frustrating really. I have 3 hdx tablets myself. I was only able to keep root on one. I have not even touched any of them since they lost root from the last automatic update and I thought I had it blocked. I turned off the 8.9 for now until I can figure out how to fix it. I was able to root my other 7" with towelroot no problem. However google apps aren't working anymore and I think that the wallpaper fix is broken on that one as well. It is a huge aggravation that they pushed files to my devices without giving any warning. I think the problem right now might be that it is pushing up against the limit for the size of the system files. Like last time I had to remove amazon stuff to get google working, now amazon is back and google doesn't work again. My one tablet that did stay rooted, it seems like it has root in one of my safestrap romslots, but the primary romslot image lost root or something. Man, WHAT A MESS. I can't believe amazon is so bad.

I'm not a software guy myself either. I'm in school for electrical engineering. I know my way around android and windows and I just started messing with linux this year. I haven't taken a class in programing in probably close to 10 years.

I also knew that factory reset is a real bad idea. It would be nice if someone could crack the bootloader on these things so we could give the bird to amazon and move on with our lives.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
Did you open the utility back up and see if there is a reversal because if you still have ADB it may very well work
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] tuilakhang:

gapps and wallpaper work now on my 7" that had lost root from the update. Just installed the xposed modules and gapps files found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2787813

I'm pretty sure all that stuff was already installed, but the update screwed up everything. Hopefully I can get the 8.9" back without too much trouble.

You are right, I think I may have a backup of stock from before the update... maybe. I'll have to check that out.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
opps

If it attempted to update while you were running in a slot you are good it was not able to flash the kernel or the bootloader it attempted to flash the system and the data and that was it you can even go to the safestrap thread and grab hascodes base stock base if need be you will have to flash root with it also with a superuser flahable zip.. As long as you are still able to get into safestrap you are golden restore your backup and you are perfect trust me I have not only experienced but I have read three different pros experiencing the same thing. . Then finish up by blocking the OTA by way of your choice before hooking back up to Wi-Fi

---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 AM ----------

Trust me it is going to be stock because his is a backup of it correct? You are golden simply restore it to stock Bootup and run the OTA blocker from the new 94 utility and you are good
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] dcoig1:
I'm good on the 7" tablets for awhile now. It's really the 8.9 I'm worried about. I have to figure out how to undo what those scripts did so it will boot up correctly.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] r3pwn:
I have an idea of how you could fix it, but I don't know the commands you would need. Okay, let me get this straight:

You have adb working,

but do you have root?

If you don't have root, I'm afraid there really isn't any way we could help you, I don't think.

PM me and I'll have you test something once I figure it out...

EDIT: Nevermind. Check my other thread. It should be a universal fix. All you need is adb and root.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Yes, fortunately [MENTION=4732871]r3pwn[/MENTION] not having the device, was able to apply some common sense & look at finding the simplest most elegant solution, instead of focusing in on the problem with tunnel vision & over-complicating things. As such, anyone with ADB access should SERIOUSLY consider following the adb update method he has posted in his thread. Using ADB as outlined in THIS thread CAN be dangerous. If you happen to accidentally blow certain e-fuses, you can lose adb access all together. When that happens & you remount, well, that can be a tough predicament to get out of. The method he has outlined in his thread is RELATIVELY risk free. There is not much within his directions that could cause issues, aside from maybe getting a bad download, so check those MD5's, & where md5's are not available, at least make sure you can open the update bin file in 7zip, WinRAR, WinZip or wnatever archiver you use & extract a file or two. That way you at least have some idea that the archive & it's index is intact & not corrupted.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] dcoig1:
I'm not sure if the method that ya'll are talking about works. At least on my 8.9 it says that it failed to boot and gives options of reset to factory defaults or reboot after I follow the instructions. Maybe someone else could try the other method and confirm it works?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53670880

would it be ok for me to try to push services.odex to the device from the amazon update .bin file? I think that may be where the problem is.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
look

If you read completely through this thread or read through any one or two of the many other brick threads .. There are several ways to get ADB back and running.. One of them refers you to ADB drivers through Amazon explains how to uninstall the drivers your computer currently has installed in it for your Kindle and replace them... The others involve installing the SDK once you have exhausted all attempts to to correctly get ADB back up and running... Otherwise yes you are at least temporarily screwed.. They are working on getting a repair of thing going on this device but I don't think they have anything that works for everybody every time... You've got a lot of reading to do good luck
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] dburns865:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] txgranny:
I can tell you from my own experience that the ADB is finicky! When I was following this thread's process I kept losing the ADB connect. That was the most frustrating part. I would enter ADB devices and it wouldn't connect then I'd open command line again and there it would be! Even then... sometimes I'd lose it and have to start again. Don't know if this is common or not but I just kept at it until I was able to get thru the whole unbricking process. Make sure you've read the threads and info about ADB and SDK .. you need it all.

Hi, guys!

I did next thing:

Bricked my HDX 8.9, while booting it shows gray logo then black screen then gray logo then Kindle Fire System Recovery. Device are visible to PC for a some small moment(10 seconds aprox.) while on first gray logo and not visible second gray logo or Kindle Fire System Recovery

Tryed to get adb on Linux:

lsusb shows device, on first gray logo(it`s VID=0x18d1, PID=0x0001) - adb devices output is empty.

added device to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and adb_usb.ini, adb server-restart - no result, adb devices output is empty.

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x1c9e -p 0x9e08 -S -R -W while on gray logo - gives output:

Accessing device 017 on bus 002 ...
Getting the current device configuration ...
OK, got current device configuration (1)
Using first interface: 0x00
Using endpoints 0x01 (out) and 0x81 (in)
Not a storage device, skipping SCSI inquiry

Trying to send Sierra control message

Tryed to get adb on Windows:

In Device Manager show`s up for a while(on gray logo) like MTP device, but disappear before I can even delete it`s driver - adb devices output is empty.

Setting up "Old device -> ADB Interface" gives no result - it`s still connected as MTP device and doen`t show up in adb devices list
​

I did read all this thread

...also I double rechecked ADB installation on both systems, and on both I`m able to connect Moto RAZR M and XEPRIA ZR, but not my HDX 8.9

Does anyone has suggestions what else can I do? Or how get more time on first gray logo? Or, maybe, totally re-flash ROM with JTAG/fastboot/BULK... or other repair method?

Well as far as I know they have not released the bootloader crack yet and if you look around here we are trying very hard to get fast boot working but as far as I know there it still is no just flashing this device ....yet. You could always call Amazon and have them send you a refurbished unit . That's what everybody else seems to have done that screwed up their devices .. Good luck and hopefully you will find something soon but like I said again I believe we are still all waiting

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Yuzumaki:
Dear all,

I am in serious deep sh*t now as I had bricked my HDX device. I did a wipe on my stock rom and installed a new rom onto it. It got stucked at "format /system" and never goes on.

I did make a backup with safestrap before I wipe the stock rom. Right now my backup made by safestrap is safely kept in my pc. Unforunately, I am stuck in the white kindle fire logo and I can't get to safestrap recovery. I have tried several methods to get everything back again but to no positive results.

I just can't get adb to run. Windows would not detect anything except the MTP device, which turns out to be a with a yellow exclamation mark (code 10, cant start device).

Here is what I have done so far,

Following this guide for windows, at post #80

Hold power button for more than 20 sec.

What other solutions that do you guys have?:crying:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] mangomango:
You're pretty much SOL at the moment. I did the same thing to my first HDX.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Yuzumaki:
Damn, I wish it wont be dead. I only had one solution that may or may not work that I thought of and that requires dissembling it. I have another Thor HDX with me that is of 32 GB. The screen is damage and I have gotten it from someone free.

Worth a try to actually change its NAND board with the current bricked HDX 16 GB. Has anyone tried do this? I am only afraid of some restriction that will make the 32 GB NAND brick as well. But from what I have seen on the hardware itself, everything is the same apart from the storage NAND chip.

Let's not talk about skills as the 32 GB has been taken out by me before and everything is as of its working, just that the tape would not stick anymore and the glass replacement that I got from alibaba fall off when I was about to reassemble everything back. :eek: Butter fingers...

Kindle Fire HDX7 -unbrick-

Hello all xda-dev members

I have the same problem as with the comments before.

I bricked my Kindle Fire HDX 7 with firmware 13.3.2.4.

The device was rooted before and worked perfectly. So I editet the framework-res.apk in system folder, kindle began to reboot.

Finally after getting a grey kindle LOGO turns it in lit black screen.

I had format it in system recovery without results.

I tried with fastboot cable, but it does not work. (Safestrap is not possible)

ADB driver is not recognized, only qhsusb_bulk.

The device to be claimed is not possible, which is out of warranty.

Is there now a solution?

Iam very thankful
