Hi there, So, I have this kindle fire I bought and it was running cyanogenmod, and then kindle app started not to open. Called Amazon, checked online, noo help. So I rebooted from recovery mode, accidently deletd the apparently only os it had on it, now it turns on in recovery mode, shows me it has the new kindle os on it, (thought I might revert back to original os to see if kindle app would work), but it wont boot from it. It starts with the kindle fire screen, but does not progress from there. Also, it won't be recognized by my mac anymore, so I can't get new install programs to it. What can I do? I think If I could get my hands on a windows computer, I might be able to get it going again? I have no knowledge of this except for what I have mentioned. I can probably wing it if I have detailed instructions, but without my computer recognizing the unit, I am stuck. Thanks for any help.

Hey guys, first off, I got a new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 from BestBuy yesterday and of course I had to mess with it. I do it to every new tech I buy haha.
Well, stupidly I didn't realize there was a recovery option for the 8.9 just yet, so I went ahead and rooted my Kindle Fire and attempted to install the GAPPS and remove the signature verification inside the Kindle Fire. This all went okay but then I noticed I could no longer download files from the Amazon store nor did the Google Play store work for me. So I attempted to reset the Kindle back to factory settings thinking it would just wipe it all and I could start anew. I removed root access through SU and all that before resetting it to it's default settings.
After it finished, I realized it didn't get rid of the Google play store or any of the apps and I still couldn't download any files from the Amazon store. So I used ADB to install some files like ES File Explorer, SU, Busybox, etc.
After all that I noticed something was wrong with my Root access, I couldn't fully use any of the applications that required Super User. I couldn't modify the build.prop to attempt at resetting the Kindle Fire to it's full stock form, so instead I modified it on my computer, then pushed it through to ES.
After I had it on ES I deleted the original Build.prop, saving a back-up of course, and then putting in the new one. Low and behold, after doing this, I reset my Kindle and now I'm stuck at a gray Kindle Fire screen for about 10 or so seconds then it just goes black with the light still coming through. I can boot into recovery mode, but only have two options, to reset to factory, or reboot.
I did reset it to factory here, thinking it would do some good, but nothing came out of it. Either way, ADB didn't recognize my device, even before I reset it to factory settings via recovery mode.
So I'm at a loss now. I can't get ADB to recognize my device and I have no idea how to get it to. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit right now and am in the process to dual booting Ubuntu in an attempt to see if I can get it to find my device. I am new to Linux so I'm not sure how that will go.
Amazon, being the amazing company they are, is sending me a replacement, but I would like to get this one to work so they don't have to fork out another Kindle for my stupid mistake. Again, any help or information on what I can do to proceed from here would be amazing.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and look forward to some responses!

I think you can contact Amazon, asking them How to get into the fastboot mode or ADB mode, the stock recovery mode can do nothing good. I think the only way to fix it is via ADB mode.
Hi guys !
About myself, I'm a web developer and i have a little bit strange with android development
Few week ago,i buy a kindle fire HDX 8.9 inch and i root it,but something wrong ,i had delete some files relate to system and after,my kindle show GREY KINDLE FIRE LOGO all time,allthough i turn off and turn on many time ,it's alway is GREY LOGOO !
There is exist some way to restore stock rom ? i don't know,can you give me a answer or reference ,or something to i can fix my f*cking kindle fire,thank
if you see only grey logo - there is no way
if you can get to safestrap, you can dirty-flash the Amazon stock ROM on top of your setup.
If you can't even get there, then probably not, as this would involve some Fastboot cable, RSD Lite, and so on.
Supposedly if you held down power for like 25 seconds straight it'll do some fancy factory reset, but no guarantees!
ug.I am visiting serbia now. My kindle is about 20 days old. I rooted it, safestrapped etc. Now I like the Kindle so much that I want to upgrade to the 64gb version. So I decided to unroot it without a pc, did a factory wipe which even deleted my stock backup so no OS available to restore. tried to power up and got as far as language choice then keeps going back to same page. So I tried a power down up and it just stays on same screen after I get thru the twrp screen. I dont have a pc available here. I want to at least rid this device of any rooting/twrp/safestrap stuff before I send back to Amazon
Any advice on this?
Fixed! As a last resort, I held the power key for a whole minute while kindle appeared to be resetting
A number of times with my finger stayed on the power button. It then powered up correctly and now runs like
A charm. So for now I am wondering if I really should pursue getting the 64 Gb version.
Hopefully this simple fix will help others.
as i know you´re hdx is bricked
you show grey kindle logo? you are bricked your device and since know we have not solution
Ok so I've tried looking through these forums for several months in an attempt to find something that will get my kindle fire HD 7" out of it's boot loop that I put it in while trying to root. Turns out I skipped a step.. Anyways, so far I cant even get it to show up as a drive on my computer. It will show up in the device manager and I bought the factory fastboot cable so it will go to fastboot. However, I've tried using system restore programs such as kindle fire first aide and the SR tool. KFFA has been the most productive in the sense it will attempt to restore my kindle back to factory but fails to download the required files from drop box. It moves past all that saying no error and tells me to reboot my kindle, which then returns to looping at the Kindle icon. I'm seriously stumped here as no help program I've seen has been able to do anything so far. Amazon said the warranty ended a year ago and to buy a new one. Any help would be much appreciated and if you don't mind reply like I'm computer illiterate because this was my first attempt at rooting anything.
Thanks!

Edit: Ok so I continued messing with KFFA and somehow got it to restore my kindle doing all the same things I had already tried. I guess you all can ignore this post lol...

We were anyway you are in the wrong forum .
I have already tried a hard reset, which did not do anything. Also, I don't have a Windows computer, only a Mac (no judgement please), so I can't use any of these unbrick utilities. HELP!
1!
Never mind, my kindle has decided to troll me by factory resetting successfully as soon as I posted this thread. Disregard this.
Never mind again, I am still in desperate need of help. I can't navigate anywhere on the device and it's just a flashing screen.
