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!

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.
I hope someone can help me. I made a mistake and wiped the stock partition.
I have spent the last 2 days doing lot of reading and it looks like there is no way to fix this right now.
I would have hoped that some of the Devs here would have a way to just wipe the entire device and setup normally like you can with Samsung Tablets.
I will keep hope alive
Tablet down...lol
Ok so I got a KF fire 8.9 HDX a week ago.
It was came with 14.3.5 (trying to remember)
ADB did work and was setup properly, no issues there (Windows 7)
I could not root it with any of the tools posted.
I noticed that all the tools seemed to work with 14.3.10.
I manually updated it to 14.3.10
I was able to root it.
I did install Safestrap
I was trying to flash a 2nd ROM and I guess I did something wrong.
I did do a restore to Rom2 from my backup. I also did that for ROM 1 to make sure I could reboot the unit.
Now the problems:
1. I am stuck on the Kindle Fire screen (the first screen just the white Kindle Fire logo). I can reboot into the stock restore/recovery.
2. I did wipe and picked option 2 to restore
3. Nothing happens on reboot, it just sits back on the white Kindle Fire logo
I suspect that the bootloader on this unit was blocking fastboot therefore I could not finish the proper setup with the tools here to install 2nd boot loader TWRP.
Can someone please assist.
Thanks

I hope someone is able to unlock this device.
It would be good to get it working again and flash it like we do other devices.
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.
I haven't used my Kindle Fire HDX in quite a while and when I went to boot it today to load a few books before a trip it wouldn't get past the white and gold "Kindle Fire" logo. After doing some searching around here and the rest of the interwebs I found tons of threads about how to unbrick it if you have ADB access AND a rooted device. Unfortunately, my device is bone stock and has never been rooted (no idea why it would boot loop on me, but that's a different topic). So far I have booted into recovery and did a factory reset...didn't fix anything. I also tried the magical, plug it into a PC not a wall wart and it will boot trick...no dice.
Is there anything else I can do?
Still haven't found a solution. Anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately w/o adb (USB debug) access little can be done to revive your device. There is no way to communicate with it.
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.
