[Q] Kindle Fire 2 is bricked

Hey, I was stupid and tried to install a rom without factory-resetting my kindle. Now I am stuck at the splash logo boot loop. I tried the unbrick utility, but it can't find my kindle. I have access to fastboot commands, but not adb. Don't ask me why, I just can't use adb. I don't know how to restore my kindle to a working state. I have a fastboot cable available. Thanks in advance. Im a noob btw.:crying:

I'm guessing it's looping from the kindle fire screen not the cm10.1 screen, correct? If so, you can use the command, "fastboot -i 0x1949 -w". That will wipe userdata and cache. But if it's looping without even loading the rom that's probably not going to fix it.

Ok, I am now not stuck on the splash logo. i reflashed the recovery and boot partitions and now it is trying to boot, but there is currently no os installed. Is this a good sign that I can fix it? I am in slc for the weekend and cant flash the system partition yet.
Another question. I tried installing twrp on my recovery, but i cant boot into it. it wont show the blue logo. do i need an os installed to use it?

Yes. os MUST be installed for our recovery to function. Specifically a file called 'stack' has to reside on the system partition

Thanks a bunch. i restored the system partition last night, and it fixed. i plugged it in to charge, and this morning, it was back at the kindle fire logo. Did i do something wrong?

Doesn't sound like it.
Were you able to get it to boot back up?

Ok, I figured out it was a OTA update that re-bricked it. I am downloading a custom rom right now. I finally got it to work! Thanks for all your help.:victory:

Another question. I downloaded the CM10.1 zip shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963
I try to flash it in twrp, but it keeps saying error flashing zip
What do I do?

Sounds like a bad download. Redownload and adb sideload from pc

i got similar problems. rooted it, but i got afterwards some problems with superuser applications. ran sveral rooting methods, but at some point, it stucked now with the orange "kindle fire" logo.
tried also to use different recoverys (kindle-fire-ultility2, KF2_SRT_10.2.3) but nothing helped. i cant reach the device anymore. adb says: no device in list and fastboot: <waiting for device>
actually i use the supplied cable. or am i wrong to use it for fastboot. thought the supplied one is similar to the special fastboot cables from e.g ebay
/edit: sry, just realized after reading the FAQs, that the factory cable is a different one. sorry.

[Q] Kindle Fire TWRP install fail

Hello, I installed TWRP onto my kindle fire using KFU. I noticed some errors during the install but let it finish. Now it will not boot into recovery when selected it just hangs a bit then boots normal. I have tried several times to install it again but when its told to go into fast boot mode it just stays on white and blue logo screen saying press power button for boot menu. Any idea how I can fix this???
Thanks in advance!

When the device hangs at the blue and white Kindle Fire logo, that means it's in fastboot.
Use it to install TWRP manually.

[Q] KFHD 8.9 Static Boot + No Access to TWRP

Hi all! I'm hoping I can get some help. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 "Jem". I successfully rooted it the other day, and after switching laptops, finally was able to access fastboot on the computer and get the successful output. I followed the directions from this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105. I got all the way through it successfully to the end of step 3 to reboot into TWRP. However, once I rebooted, I get a constant bootloop on the static Kindle Fire logo. No twrp (I put 2.7.0.0 on there, and checked to revert to 8.1.4, but based on what I have read, I MAY have forgot to check the box to load stack).
I found SRT tool from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 and used it to successfully get the Kindle to show fastboot on the screen. However, now I'm at a loss as how to continue. I made backups per the 2ndBL+Twrp thread but I have no idea how to proceed. Any assistance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very proficient in using the commands, but can follow the directions pretty well (or so I thought lol).
Thanks again for any guidance.

Ok I got it back. I figured out I needed to open up a new command prompt in order to enter the fastboot flash commands and flash my backups on to it that I made following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175. Now going to try this again and hope to get TWRP and CM working on it this time around.

UPDATE:
Okay, I'm now further than I have ever gotten before. I have successfully installed TWRP version 2.7.0.0, able to access it no problem. I installed CM11; I have tried both CM11 20140702-NIGHTLY-jem and CM11 20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-jem. Before installing each one, I wiped system, cache and dalvik cache.
However, with each one, this is the problem I'm having. I am stuck at the cynogenmod boot screen (blue alien/android with the arrow circling). I have not been able to get past this. Is there any guidance that you all can offer me to get past this? When I saw that cynogenmod bootscreen pop up, I was so excited and relieved that I got past the blue kindlefire logo this time around, but am again deflated. I know I can boot back to rooted stock from my recovery files so it's not a total loss. I just so want to see it load up as android!!!
Thanks in advance...hope someone sees this. I didn't want to add another topic to the board, so the title doesn't reflect my current issue. So I hope that it'll get some answers. If I should make a new topic, please let me know. As my post count reflects, I am a newbie here. Thanks so much for all the hard work that you all do to help us!

Success!
Just wanted to update!
After wiping cache/dalvik cache/system and then wiping factory reset, and then reinstalling CM11 M6, it finally worked! SO now my kindle hd is now a beautiful full fledged android! I just want to thank all of the people here with all of their knowledge and guides, answers to questions in the threads...I finally figured it out and feel accomplished! LOL.

Maybe you can give me a hand as you've recently gone through this:
tried the 2nd bootloader instructions and the '8.9 Flasher' zip found on these forums, but right now I'm just stuck at the kindle fire logo (not moving). I can get into fast boot, but don't know what to put in there to get me either back to stock, or into CM11.
I (like a fool) didn't make a backup (i used the flasher zip first, and neglected the backup option), so are there stock images out there I can use?

When you restart your tablet do you see the blue KF splash screen? If you can you should be able to sideload a ROM onto TWRP.
If you can't get into TWRP then see this restore tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 you can flash the images manual from the tool if you'd rather not run the bat. Choose option 3 if you do as that includes the recovery as well.

thanks for your reply
im still in the process of fixing everything, but I was able to move past where I was (stuck on static kindle fire logo) by using fastboot to push the stock boot.img, recovery.img from hashcodes post, and then using the system.img from onemeila's rescue post (also wiping the cache)
im still in the process because my KF did an OTA update (!>@#) while I was pushing other files to it, so I had to start over again.

As soon as it boots into the OS, put it in airplane mode or kill your modem if nothing else.

[Q] KF 2gen - Won't boot and no recovery access

Hi guys, I think I flashed a wrong TWRP img and now the kindle fire won't boot.
I can't access the recovery mode and now the pc can not recognize it.
There is any solution to flash another TWRP version?
Thank you.

Does it turn on at all? If so, there is a brief FASTBOOT period when you boot it on. If not able to access your device at all, you can go to this XDA thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415870
Normally when you flash the wrong recovery, something should still turn on.
Hope this helps!

Zenfone 2 bootloop

Hi, today I tried to install cm13 on my zenfone 2 (Z00AD), I tried to install the twrp recovery on both recovery and boot but I couldn't access the recovery (in the fastboot if I clicked on "normal boot" or "recovery mode" the phone just rebooted into the fastboot), the adb was still working so I tried to flash the droidboot.img, the boot.img and the recovery.img from an original asus rom, after that the phone started to bootloop, I can't even access the fastboot pressing power+volume_up, what can I do to unbrick my phone? Thanks in advance

If the phone is stuck in bootloader, you can use Asus Flash Tool to flash .raw files and unbrick the phone.
Raw files: https://yadi.sk/d/FijRoAVJtvRiG
AFT: https://yadi.sk/d/NQCiY--IsQjBr (I use AsusFlashToolInstaller1.0.0.14.exe).
