[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
Alright, since I got the other issue of not even knowing which device I had (or thinking it was something else, basically) I've not got this Fire HD 7 2013 (no cameras, buttons on the back, etc) ready to go for Firerooter. I've installed all the necessary drivers (verified), I have a home-made fastboot cable (works fine, made it from an Atrix HD car dock that I had no further use for, used this cable with multiple devices and when I plug it into the FHD7 (powered off) it goes right into fastboot mode as expected. Using fastboot -i 0x1949 devices shows me the device number so that's a go.

I grabbed Firerooter (latest version), extracted it, put the FHD7 in fastboot mode from the cable (verified it's listed in Device Manager as Google Nexus ADB Interface), checked Task Manager to make sure no instances of adb were running since I know that can cause problems, then ran Firerooter, chose the install option, chose the 11.4.5.2 option, checked all the boxes, waited for it to download all the necessary components and then it went into what looked like the flashing process.

Firerooter is currently still showing the "We have all the necessary information..." and "Installing FireOS..." (the flashing process with the progress bar had already finished) and the FHD7 itself shows "Booted successfully!" with some info at the bottom.

It's been like this going on almost 50 minutes now so, I suppose after all this my one question is:

How long is this entire process supposed to take, if anyone has either an exact time or even a guesstimate 'cause it seems like it's taking a long time. I've looked at Task Manager and it shows 3 instances of adb.exe*32, a cmd.exe, a fastboot.exe*32, and a lua5.1.exe*32 - of those the only one showing any kind of activity is the lua5.1.exe*32 task which has its RAM usage jumping all over the place (the other tasks are basically static).

I'm tempted to kill everything and reboot the FHD7 to see what's going on but so far it's just sitting here and I'm still wondering how long this should possibly take overall.

Not a tough question to answer, I hope... ;)

Can someone provide me with image of all partitions

Even after using various tools like SRT, KFFirstAide or even using fastboot directly to copy boot, recovery, system images I am not able to get the tab back in working condition. Some times it shows cannot mount /cache/......... or asks for factory reset

Is there somthing additional needs to be done ?

I read multiple threads and understoond that there are almost 11 partitions, I feel in my case some other partition has gone bad.

Could someone here upload other partition images also. I would prefer 7.2.3 or 7.51 versions

Need to buy an adapter for 7" Kindle Fire HD (2012 version?)

We bought our son a Kindle Fire HD from eBay; it did not come with a charger.

1) How do we tell if it is a 2nd Gen 2012?

The power button is plain black and on the top, so according to this website, we have the 2nd Gen 2012:

http://www.lovemyfire.com/kindle-fire-reset.html

2) What adapter should we buy for it?

I see several on sale at Amazon, most notably the $20 "PowerFast Adapter for Accelerated Charging":

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006GWO5WK

Are there any cheaper options that will work as well? Maybe a little cheaper but will charge a little more slowly?

The Kindle Fire 1 and 2 look exactly the same on the outside, but firmware is different, there is a few different ways to tell the difference if you can connect to pc, or check system version in settings

Just about any micro-B usb 5 volt charger will work, most made for cell phones will work.

I think original wall charger was 1000ma (1 amp), if charger is less kindle will just charge slower, if charger is higher, Kindle will only use what it can handle.

I do not believe the Kindle can quick charge, but could be wrong

The charger you linked does list Kindle Fire, so should be fine.

This is the Official Amazon 5W, 1A power adapter

but it's the same price...

I have used a several other chargers with my Kindle Fire 1, with no issues other than some cheaper chargers may not get as good of connection.

Misread part of that

the Kindle Fire HD 7" (2012) has Power and volume buttons on the sides, and Front-facing HD camera.

It is the only 7 in model with that combination.

Other models have, Power buttons on the back, or No camera, or a rear facing camera, or 2 cameras

KitKat vs Lollipop on Kindle Fire HD 7

Earlier this year I installed CyanogenMod 11 20141112-SNAPSHOT to use Android KitKat 4.4 on my Kindle Fire HD 7. It has worked well. I have some questions on updating a CM 11 installation:

1. The thread for CM 11 lists camera/audio fixes on 05/20. Is there a way to update the 20141112-SNAPSHOT with recent fixes without having to do a complete backup/reinstall/restore?

2. Would CM 12 perform well on the Kindle Fire HD 7? On my Nexus 7 Android Lollipop 5.1 was much slower than KitKat forcing me to eventually downgrade.

3. Is a complete backup/reinstall/restore required to go from CM 11 to CM 12?

Thanks.

Hi-

I cannot seem to downgrade my Kindle HD from 7.3.0 to 7.2.3, no matter how many times I try (using Kindle FIrst Aide and also the command line instructions). I started off on 7.5.1 and with the numerous attempts and restores, I am now at 7.3.0. The option in Kindle First Aide specifically says 'restore to 7.2.3'. I don't get it.

Thanks.

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]: You had helped me loading cyanogenmod onto my KF earlier this year. Thanks again! Now I'm trying to do the same for my father's HD 7" Tate using my Windows 7 desktop. I have read a lot of threads but I've been running in circles and I'd appreciate any direction from you.

The HD 7" 2012 is running 7.5.1. My first step is to root the device. I've followed a youtube link but that failed at adb link level. I switched to a forum thread to tackle the ADB driver problem and installed android SDK and the platform tools. There I was able to have ADB communication with the HD 7. That thread stopped right there so I had to find another thread for rooting. I came across this thread which suggests downloading the KFFirstAide AND disable drivers the SDK's drivers". Do you have an opinion about opting the KFFirstAide drivers instead of the SDK drivers? It's not clear in the instruction if I should re-enable the SDK drivers or I should install the ADB driver that come with the first aid.

To root, would you recommand using one of KFFirstAide's options?

You can download with silk browser, and install after it downloads, just select download successful from notification bar.

allow unknown sources, need to be checked before, trying to install

You need to swipe up a few time, check for root access, it will say root unavailable (not rooted), select try to root (or whatever it says)

it may reboot, and continue to root

after it says successful

you can use supersume app to replace kingroot with supersu afterwards.

Thanks for the reassuring information. I finally went for it and succeeded rooting the KFTT. Is it recommended to replace KingRoot?

If my end goal is simply to be able to access Google Play, download, and run regular Android apps, do I need to install bootloader, TWRP, and CyanogenMod, or would it suffice to install the required Google APK files? Thank you!!!

It's up to you, KINGROOT seems to be bloated, and supersu seems to work better.

I'm not sure how Google services works on that system version,

you can try, but likely will work better with a custom rom.

Stuck in Fastboot

Hello,

yesterday i updated my Kindle Fire HD (2. Gen 2012) from CM 11 to CM12. Everything worked fine. (Thanks to the good instructions in the xdadevelopers forum).

Later I tried to update my TWRP aswell (Thought this could be helpful). Now to my problem:

I downloaded the newest version of TWRP for the KFHD7 and flashed it with the Flashify App. It worked and the App asked me to reboot my system. I accepted and the KFHD7 started rebooting. Kindle Logo (first orange, second blue) showed up and after that there was the fastboot mode screen (KFHD7 wasn't plugged into computer). Now i just see the fastboot screen all the time. I tried rebooting but it always ends up in fastboot mode screen. I tried to get into TWRP whil the blue Kindle Fire logo showed up but it doesn't work and i end up with the fastboot screen. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance :)

I need an expert with my kindle because I have no idea what to do.

So, months ago I tried rooting my kindle. I think I succeeded, but when I shutdown my kindle, it wouldn't turn on again and I think I bricked it.

Ever since then I try charging it and holding the power button and I literally get no response. Not even the charging light is lit.

I bought a fastboot cable that is supposed to fix this, amazon(dot)com/Fastboot-Motorola-Factory-Atomic-Market/dp/B00KYVEM1I (this cable). I plugged it into my computer and it installed the cable drivers, but then I unplugged it for a second then tried plugging it in again and it started saying that the device malfunctioned. I tried uninstalling the device software for the cable but it didn't help. Any thoughts??? Maybe I have a bad bootloader and I'm in deep ****?

hey everyone. I have my KFHD7 rooted, have google play services on it and can use the playstore and everything else, log into games with my google account (clash of clans), etc. But suddenly today there was an update to Google Services and it was required to access the apps with my google account, so I updated it and now I can't use anything since i'm getting the "google services has stopped" every few seconds on the screen. Cant use clash of clans which is all i really use the kindle for. last time this happened i just downgraded the version of google services and made it so it didnt auto update, but this update was mandatory for some reasons because apps wouldnt work without it. So the update is mandatory and it makes your tab useless. I'd love to know if anyone has any idea what to do or if it's happening to you.

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] Hi, I really hope you can help me... last year my Kindle Fire HD 7 (2012) kept freezing that I couldn't use it anymore. The power button is already broken so I only open it thru plugging the device with charger. So I began reading stuff here on how to restore the device - I have no idea on how to work the ADB stuff and root and all that - but I saw a lot of people using the Fastboot cable to restore the kindle to stock. Just this week, I was able to order it online and got the factory cable now. So i went to this thread and downloaded the updated version http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 of the KFHD restore tool. I watched a video on youtube on how to use it since I don't really understand the coding stuff on that thread. My kindle is unrooted and i haven't (don't know what to download or install drivers) drivers but I tried the method from this youtube video - download the system tool - install - plug to fastboot - then select the choice you want (3) to restore stock. I did just that after extracting the KFHD restore tool (i didn't do anything else aside from extraction - should i have installed anything from in it first) but when I pressed 3 and entered, it only said <waiting for device> (the device screen shows FASTBOOT kindle fire logo) . Can you tell me did i do it wrong? Please, I'm being so desperate because i really want to use my kindle again since I don't have the money to replace it with a new one.
