Alright I know I have seen the things that my device might get bricked and I took the risks. So I had 1.3.2.1 Amazon OS and I got safestap and I got a ROM I didnt make a backup though :/ And today I wanted to update my kindle by uninstalling recovery for safe stap on stock os. BUT stock os wouldnt load it keeps staying at the logo. So I tried to reset the kindle by pressing volume button and power button. And now my stock rom still doesnt work but I still have safestrap. (3.70) and my rom slot 1 is gone :/ anyone can help?

If you read all warnings then you know there is no real help. Besides that all your information is misleading your version numbers are incorrect for your tablet your version number is incorrect for your safestrap and the procedure in which you use is this own detail inaccurate and not the way you use safestrap. Obviously not heedingg any of the warnings.. Or not even bothering to read the complete directions and or correlating thread on the correct use for anything. Otherwise you would not be in this predicament. My advice is to call Amazon get a replacement then do not attempt to modify your replacement if you enjoy using your Amazon Kindle.

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!

We were anyway you are in the wrong forum .
[ MODDS. PLEASE REMOVE THREAD. As i have moved it to the help section.] http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/help/help-restoring-to-factory-t2981172
Hey guys,
I have an hdx 8.9 running on 14.3.1.0 with safe strap on it, and there was changes made to the build.prop. This was done about a year ago, to get google play working. When i did this the method at the time, had limitations to it. Some of the amazon services were disabled. So i considered this a fair trade off to get Gapps on it.
However, I was wanting to get the device back to original state. So i attempted a factory reset. Which resulted in undesired results. The HOME SCREEN and back button are non existent. along with a few other random erros. AFTER FACTORY RESET I ATTEMPTED A SYSTEM UPDATE WHICH FAILED
So here is my question. How do i get this device back to its original state? I really didnt want to continue futher down this rabbit hole, as to avoid doing more harm than good, before asking you guys this question.
ideally it would be nice to have this back to normal, and re-root to get gapps working WITH all of amazons services As well, but If that cant happen i am wanting a original functioning device.
Thanks for your help/advice
I noticed i still have Gapps insatlled after my attempt at factory reset... could that be causing some issues?
Please help!
ok, i cant seem to find much about this loop. But am well willing to do whatever to get this fixed. Amazon support was of no help other then to tell me that they'll sell me a refurbished HDX 7 for $150, as my warranty expired last week. Anyway what can i do to get past this problem. I suspect my kids did a software download that failed. The unit reboots, comes up to the desktop and sits for a few seconds then reboots again.
Do i need software, a Cable or what.. I really am looking for all needed help.

Kindle Fire HDX7 is 100% Factory Install, nothing was rooted or unlocked. I am an IT Engineer, just not an android or programming, so i just dont know the lingos........ So the kindle gets past the white and yellow boot logo, and brings up the desktop, sits then reboots. sometimes i can slide the menu down before it reboots.

If I had to guess I'd say you have the latest update from Amazon, and you cannot root, unlock or do anything with it, but that is just my guess.
The only thing i can suggest is to factory reset it. Turn it off, press Volume (+) and Power button to turn it on and proceed with factory reset from there. Be careful because you will lose any files on the tablet...
Good Luck
Hi everyone,
i have a rooted Kindle Fire HDX 7" which is kind of softbricked. Maybe even hardbricked but my knowledge doesnt reach that far to determine.
Here's the thing. I already got in touch with Amazon, they checked my Amazon Account and were pleased to send me a new Kindle since i still got warranty on it.
Okay so far so good.
But here comes the real deal.
I'm pretty sure my warranty doesnt really cover the whole root -> brick story.
I told the Lady that after a factory reset the Tablet keeps trying to start the Setup over and over again. Which is indeed the case. I did not mention anything else.
So. My plan was, since i'm still able to go into safestrap recovery, to delete everything that could point out that the Tablet was rooted. Atleast on the first view.
TL.DR:
Is it possible to delete Safestrap/TWRP via the Terminal Command?
I know you can browse through the Tablet, but i couldnt find where the Folders are located.
Even if the Tablet doesnt Boot at all after deletion, i wouldnt mind.
Cause then i could still keep my new Tablet and hope they cant find anything on the broken one.
Hope anyone can help me.
If it is hard to understand what i meant i can give you further informations.
It's kind a hard for me to describe such technical things in a foreign language.
If you can access safestap, you can unbrick your device mate.
Well i kind of tried everything possible.
It's not on topic but i can describe what i did, maybe it helps other to not do the same mistake.
I had my Kindle rooted on 13.3.2.4 with the HDX Toolkit.
Everything worked fine since one day the Google Store stopped working.
Well at that time i wasnt using the Tablet on a daily basis so i didnt mind much and got a little off touch with the whole rooting thing, and the do's and dont's.
Then after a couple of weeks i got a bit frustrated over the fact that the integrated Prime Video Streaming is so out of date, that you cant even watch movies USK18 or switch languages within the Movie.
So i decided to use the Kindle as it was meant to by amazon and remove everything.
I really shouldve read more about the prodecure, i know that now.
But here's what i did:
1. Wiped and Removed my non-StockROM
2. Booted on StockROM and did a Factory Reset
3. Sh#t got weird so i went into recovery and wiped the StockROM aswell
4. Now i can still go into Recovery, but when i try to Boot i kind of dont have a FIrmware installed. It trys to re-do the Setup where you have to choose ur language over and over again.
So by now i already know what i should've done instead.
But at this point; my Kindle doesnt get recognized by my PC nor by ADB.
And i dont know what i can do with the Safestrap Recovery at the beginning.
So far, any more ideas?
Should i still try to unbrick it or just wipe my fingerprints off of it and hope i can keep the new one.

So you can open safestap ? If you can, then try ADB on a Linux/Mac machine. It will work. Windows has a problem with the drivers. Also I am not sure about this, but if you access the stock kindle recovery and do a factory reset from there, you might wipe safestap.
