Then What should i do

Then What should i do

i was thinking flash fire OS 5.1.1 but what recovery uboot zip

[MENTION=4469251]powerpoint45[/MENTION]
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] powerpoint45:
The one I have posted on my thread should work unless I'm missing something here
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Jamalama:
Well another idea

i just tryed that now wont boot up mabye i should go to fire os 4.5.3 then i can do CM and possibly use flashfire to upgrade to fire os 5.1.1 or somthing allong those lines would you think that would work unless you can pull the TEE1 and UBOOT off a fire os 5 and extract it using ext4_unpacker and then use ext2explore-2.2.71 to edit it so it accepts unsigned recoverys

[MENTION=4469251]powerpoint45[/MENTION]
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] powerpoint45:
Even though it does not boot, do you see the Amazon logo or can you still get into recovery? Did you do a factory reset before installing? Ya I would recommend trying CM11 if nothing else works. I think I had a similar problem as you before on one of my fires.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Jamalama:
didnt see amazon logo cant get into recovery i did do a factory reset just so you know i was doing everything from your video (Imma Wake)

if the cm flashfire thing doesnt work i will be stuck on cm or fire os 4

but i like cm so that shouldnt be a problem however in my last mesage what did you think about patching TEE1 and UBOOT

[MENTION=4469251]powerpoint45[/MENTION]
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] powerpoint45:
I guess it's possible but it seems like you'd run across a problem somewhere along the lines. It seems like it might need to be recompiled rather than simply edited. I don't know enough about that to know
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Jamalama:
I remembered somthing when i flashed this recovery it would work however i am not sure if it flashes a UBOOT even though the name looks pretty clear "5.2.0_stock_recovery_only" would i possibly be able to go to a lollipop rom then

[MENTION=4469251]powerpoint45[/MENTION]
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] powerpoint45:
That might work off hand I'm pretty sure it's only the recovery file. You can double check after you download it if you look in the file as a zip package.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Jamalama:
I dont see anything saying uboot however it still with a very slim chance might work flashing mabye dev preview and then sideload another fire os 5

or some other way with the dev preview

one of my last hopes is going into amazon and selecting upgrade to os 5 from your amazon account controls if they still support it

but to do that i may have to be on fire os 4.5.5.1 however i think i can do that seeing as apparently they run 4.5.3 bootloaders/uboot without any issues

Hi! The kindle bricked after I tried to downgrade for root from Fire OS 5.3.1.1. Yet have same problem. After unbrick I have a black screen and nothing more. (update-kindle-20.5.5.2_user_552153420.bin + 5.4.1_1133_stock_recovery_uboot.zip) Possible problem is that the "Wipe cache" and "Factory reset" does not pass. I have "Success. But next string is "Unable to mount storage"

Sorry for my english :)

[MENTION=4469251]powerpoint45[/MENTION] [MENTION=7742210]Jamalama[/MENTION]
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Jamalama:
Interesting

Could you reply with how you bricked the device in the first place and could you explain in more detail about "Wipe cache" and "Factory reset" does not pass and at what point you get the "Unable to mount storage" thx by the way you could go balls to the wall and flash the newer uboot.zip I think it was 1534(something)uboot.zip and if it fails and you can't fix it then try get it replaced by Amazon, I live in New Zealand so I can't do that sadly:crying:

I did everything for this instruction https://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-downgrade-to-4-5-3-root-device-t3139351. Kindle was rooted.

After that:

1. Save the necessary Lollipop bootloaders zip into /sdcard/gscript on Fire HD, this will get you back into Lollipop

2. Download WindowsAutoTWRP_v03.zip to your PC with some Windows on it, unpack anywhere

3. Run the commands below, and make sure you authorize root access for adb when the question pops up on your Fire:

Code:

adb shell

su

exit

exit

4. Enable apps from unknown sources

5. Run 1_FIRE_HD_4TH_GEN_TWRP.bat

6. At the bottom you should see these checksums :

Code:

3a1f3cd1ef405eaeec719eaeb41ab791 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

d605e31a180652c65d6957b58d2d8501 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

305a5546ff8960b51cd573b59a05cde6 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7

Make sure the checksums are correct before rebooting !!! Do not reboot if checksums are wrong, keep the Fire running, and come back here to ask questions !!! I almost bricked under 5.1.2 due to the newer SuperSu version, but managed to catch the wrong checksums, and updated the scripts to have additional verifications.

A possible issue here is that you did not have root access, so the "dd" commands could not succeed. At this point you can go to method A since the script left all the necessary ingredients on the device, so all you need to do is to run the script from Gscript (installed for you!), make sure you click "needs SU". Delete the old flash_453 and flash_453_stay scripts from Gscript, and re-open them again after you run WindowsAutoTWRP_v03 at least once.

7. Verify again that you have 5.x.x bootloaders zip file on Fire HD which you will access from TWRP (it can also be on a USB drive if you got USB OTG cable) - Out of kindness I've provided the most popular bootloaders zip at the moment - 5.4.1 version, you can find it in /sdcard/gscript, it's TWRP ready, just flash it if 5.4.1 is OK for you (5.4.1 bootloaders will also work with FireOS 5.1.2 )

8. Type "adb reboot recovery"

9. In TWRP, after you are done with everything, don't forget to flash the 5.x.x bootloaders zip file in order to boot back into Lollipop!

After that I have a brick :)

After I press "Wipe Cache" a have Success and after that red string "Unable to mount storage"

Unfortunately I can not try it in 1534, it is not my Kindle.

Now I try to unbrick it without flash update-kindle-20.5.5.2_user_552153420.bin + 5.4.1_1133_stock_recovery_uboot.zip. Just rebooted after ./complete. I have "Amazon" logo and cyclic reboot and I can boot to TWRP. What can I do?

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] DimonX:
Also, I hung my balls to the wall and flash the newer 5.5.2_1534_stock_recovery_uboot.zip. :)

It's works!

After unbrick I installed update-kindle-20.5.5.2_user_552153420.bin + 5.5.2_1534_stock_recovery_uboot.zip and SuperSU. Everithing is good!

.

I have a problem with my HD7 4th gen. It is in a boot loop, but it only loops to the amazon logo, it will not show the kindle logo. I tried the linux version, and the ./determineOption.sh said that there was no option available. Should I post the part files here?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Jamalama:
Can you tell us how you bricked your device [MENTION=8136656]Tangoviktor[/MENTION]
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Tangoviktor:
I bought it as it is. I believe it was bricked by a firmware update, because the guy i bought it from didnt look like a guy who would root his devices. But this is just a guess.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Jamalama:
OK I think I know the problem that you have. He will have downgraded and rooted so that he could then upgrade and root 5.3.1 but he must not have disabled OTA updates as a result A BIG FAT BRICK and the bootloader's on 5.3.1 and 5.3.1.1 are no fixable at this time sorry [MENTION=8136656]Tangoviktor[/MENTION]
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Tangoviktor:
I dont think that he downgraded and rooted. My best guess is that he upgraded and something went wrong during this.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Jamalama:
OK you don't understand he will have downgraded to 4.5.3 and would have rooted and put TWRP RECOVERY on his device then he upgraded to 5.3.1 with root or possibly without either way he would have forgotten to disable Automatic Updates (OTA) and it would have initiated and ended in a brick or he was stupid and went from 5.3.1 and sideloaded 5.3.1.1. the only thing I can think of that you did wrong in the unbrick process is not do the before mentioned steps in the video guide because that's what I used for my unbrick unless the fire is running a 1534 bootloader.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Tangoviktor:
So, i recorded a video about how i use the method provided in the first post. Then you can see what it does and why i cant unbrick it.

Great Tool! - It unbricked my HD6 FLAWLESSLY!

After bricking my HD6 with a failed factory update, I spent 45 minutes with Amazon tech support. The tablet was completely dead, and would only display a black screen. Since the tech was unable to help and my Fire is out of warranty I decided to see if there was anything here since I last hacked the Fire about a year ago.

After downloading the ISO and booting my computer, I followed the directions exactly as presented, and about an hour later my Fire booted and everything was exactly as it was before it bricked. Evidently there was just a small portion of the code that had been corrupted. The next day after work I picked up the tablet and was pleased to see it had updated on its own to Fire OS 5.3.1.1. After a factory reset, I reloaded the backup from Amazon and the tablet is working great once again.

EDIT: The system will boot to the stock Amazon recovery.

Thank you to powerpoint45 and everybody who worked on the procedures and tools that enabled me to recover my tablet. You guys rock!!!!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] toomasb:
Bought a bricked HD7 (4th gen) from an internet auction site.

The device was stuck in a boot-loop, displaying only the amazon logo.

When I ran the determineOption.sh, it told me that no option would work but since I'd already tried everything else and I'd gotten the device for little money, I figured I got nothing to lose and ran an option anyway.

DISCLAIMER: I have no idea what I'm doing and I don't suggest you do this, it's (probably) a bad idea.

I ran option B and tried to get the thing working but it was still looping the amazon logo so I tried the determine option again (after closing the Linux OS and reopening it, which, as I suspected, removed all the .part files). This time the determine option told me that B should work, so I ran option B again. Although the reboot command (./complete.sh) didn't work, holding down volume up and power button (without the cable plugged in) until TWRP appeared worked.

After that I followed the video as normal and got the thing working easily.

Sadly, it wouldn't register the device with Amazon, so I contacted them and it turned out that the device was lost or stolen. So be careful what you buy online.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Jrhotrod:
I would recommend downgrading it to FireOS 4.5.3 and flashing the CM11 ROM. That way you won't have to worry about registering with Amazon.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] mike-s:
Thank you very much for this. It has been a LONG time since my HD6 worked, at least 11 months. I'm not too sure, but from memory I think i decided to upgrade from 4.5.5 to 5.x and then put it on the charger to top it off before completing the process. When I came back to it, it was booting to the amazon logo and nothing more. The next day it wasn't even able to do that and the only sign of life was the MTK bootloader popping in and out of device manager on windows.

I had previously found the thread by bibikalka which had all the details of the memory reads, how to interpret it, etc. But I thought that there was too much of a chance that I would take mine from bricked to an absolute boat anchor so checked back every few months "in case". I then found your ISO listed in the updated first post and then eventually I downloaded it and got around to using it today and it worked with option A. It's now back running on 4.5.5.. Next step is to root it and then I'm not going to do anything else with it ROM wise and I can go back to using it once more.

p.s. bought your launcher as a thankyou.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Jrhotrod:
There is a great tutorial for getting you back to 5.x that worked for me: https://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950/page54

If you don't feel like messing with bootloaders and all that jazz I suggest the CM11 ROM for this device: https://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/orig-development/rom-cm-11-kindle-hd6-t3270138/page21

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] vacantecho:
I got to the end and rebooted in TWRP, but the kindle wouldn't turn back on. It still isn't turning on. Did I brick the hd 7 while trying to unbrick it???

EDIT: I figured out that I was on 4.5.3 and needed to flash the rom and recovery for that instead, but when I flashed the 4.5.3 rom, it said something along the lines of "this package is for "full_ariel products, this is an omni_ariel". From my understanding that means it's rooted, but how do I unroot it? It's stuck in an endless amazon logo now, and I could do the unbricking process again, but that would only get me to TWRP, and I don't know how I'd unroot it from there.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got everything fixed and working.

No, this process is for the Fire 4th generation only. You risk bricking your 5th gen even harder if you try it.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] glitchyzombie:
So I botched a root unlocking on my Kindle 6. It kept going to the amazon logo....then reboot...amazon logo....reboot. So I followed the instructions:

1. Download the Linux iso:

Linux ISO

2. Burn the iso to a USB drive or cd

3. Boot into the operating system

4. Type "root" at the login prompt

5. Right click on the desktop and choose file manager. Go to "aftv2-tools" folder

6. Right click on file manager and press "open in terminal"

7. From device turned off, enter command "./handshake.py", then plug in device. You may need to do this a couple times to get a connection. Try pressing volume keys & power etc to get it connected. See video if you have problems

8. After handshake is complete, run "./reader.sh"

9. After all addresses are read in, run "./determineOption.sh". You should get back a result of A, B, or C

10. Depending on the option returned (A,B,or C), run "./readerSpecialOptionA.sh", "./readerSpecialOptionB.sh", or "./readerSpecialOptionC.sh". This is an optional step but may be useful if you want to back up part files or their were no options available. Back up part files to a usb drive if you want to be safe.

11. Now the actual unbricking. Run "./unbrickOptionA.sh", "./unbrickOptionB.sh", or "./unbrickOptionA.sh" depending on your option. This can take about 40 minutes

12. hold volume up and run "./complete.sh" at the same time to get into TWRP

13. boot into your default operating system on your computer

BE VERY CAREFUL FROM NOW ON

13. We will be installing Fire OS 5.3.1. If you are not installing this ROM, make sure you know what you are doing. Download the ROM:

update-kindle-20.5.5.2_user_552153420.bin

14. Download 5.4.1_1133_stock_recovery_uboot.zip: 5.4.1_1133_stock_recovery_uboot.zip. Without this you could turn your device into a paperweight. This installs stock recovery and a uboot version that MUST be installed. This file was taken from the thread here: how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps

15. Rename the ROM extension from .bin to .zip

16. Transfer the two files to the Fire

17. Do a factory reset. Flash the ROM and uboot&recovery file

18. Reboot! Your device should now be working. It will take about 15 mins to boot up.

I was able to go through all 18 steps. Came down to the final reboot. I hit the do not install and then it shut down. Now I can't get it to power on. No logo. Is it dead? Do I now have a nice brick? Sigh.....So close too....

motherboard replacement

So it looks like I had to replace the motherboard. I went to IFixIT and found this:

(IFixIT's Website)/Store/Parts/Kindle-Fire-HD-6-Motherboard/IF239-092-1

About $16 later, had a 5 dollar off coupon, it arrived. Replaced it and it is now back up and running. It came with Fire 4.5.5.

Learned some very valuable lessons in this.....

Hi, I recently decided to try and unbrick my device again. I've run into a similar issue as others here though, namely that the entire process works fine, but the tablet still won't turn on after the last step. What are my options? I was thinking about trying with the latest update, or perhaps CM11. Would those possibly cause any further issues if something goes wrong? As in, making my device completely unrecoverable?

Edit: So, I went ahead and tried CM11 with the same result. everything went fine up until it came time to reboot, where it just stayed off. [MENTION=4469251]powerpoint45[/MENTION], sorry to bother you, but would you perhaps have any ideas?

did you get anywhere with it? I'm in the same boat....
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] CandyAngel:
Not specifically asking for any help right now (suggestions are welcome though) but I have a (stock) broken HD6 that I'm looking to get working again. The main issue is that it reboots every 5-10 seconds, which seems to make it impossible to do anything with it. The "requires charge" screen shows up if I replug the battery, so it could be related to low battery state (a replacement battery has been ordered).

This breakage occurred after the battery end of it was put into water by the owner. It's already been replaced and I was sent the broken one to fix/keep. I intend on putting some alternative ROM on it, if I can get it working of course! :)

Here's what I have done so far:

* Removed the back cover and inspected for damage (doesn't appear to be any)

* Left to charge on 2.1A charger (just reboots indefinitely after the shine moving across the "Fire" text gets the 'r' the second time)

* Attempted to get it into off-but-charging state by holding/releasing power button at various times (unable to do so, always starts booting up)

* Attempted to put into recovery(?) by holding power+volume buttons and plugging into charger (seems to just attempt to boot normally)

* Connected with factory cable (serial device appears on computer but disconnects after ~3 seconds as device reboots)

* Attempted to use fastboot as described here but fastboot never detects the device (standard or factory cable)

* Attempted to recover using the ISO tools described in the opening post. Handshake is completed (with factory cable only) but as the device resets after a few seconds, reader.sh just outputs errors about the serial device going missing

I'll post an update as I discover more..
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] Buzzy42:
Thanks for creating this ISO! I had a few minor issues getting it to boot but finally found a PC it liked (but then I had random black screens-- not related to time-out-- but thankfully the system eventually woke back up so I could see what was going on). I used it to salvage a Fire HD 6 that I was trying to keep root while flashing 5.6.0.1 in TWRP -- I flashed the 5.4.1 bootloader which it did NOT like.

Just as a note for anyone in my position (FireOS 5.6.0.1 installed and bricked), DO NOT flash 5.3.1 and the bootloader in the OP, you'll just re-brick and have to unbrick it again. (trust me, I did it ;) )

What I did when I was successful was ran the unbricker, once in TWRP I was able to flash (in this order): 5.5.2_1534_stock_recovery_uboot.zip, FireOS 5.6.0.1 (update-kindle-20.5.9.5_user_595550320.bin), make_space02, gapps 5.1 pico, then wipe cache and rebooted.

After making sure that worked, I then was able to get back into TWRP and flash xposed-v89-sdk22-arm, which also worked.

I did NOT have to do a factory reset in my case-- since I knew the problem was the bootloader I was assuming my FireOS install would be fine if I could just get it to boot and I was right. YMMV.
