Hi everyone,
I bought HDX 7 just 2 months ago. I was on 4.5.2 and last week i requested amazon to downgrade my device and they allowed me to downgrade to 3.2.8. Then I rooted it using Towelroot and used Safestrap bootloader to install Nexus 2.0.3 ( For Kindle Device).After completion of Installation of Nexus ROM (ZIP file) from safestrap, device restarted and just hanged on some NEXUS logo and could not start up. But after some manual force restarts the safestrap was replaced by normal Kindle bootloader and finally NEXUS 2.0.3 was able to load. But i could not use some Google apps therefore In order to install Gapps I tried to flash TWRP 2.3.3.0 with Flashify i bricked the device. The device just hangs on KINDLE FIRE logo and dont show any response to PC and cant be able to move in Fastboot mode or bootloader mode.
Is there any thing i could do at this moment or should i ask amazon for replacement?
Thanks !!!

Yeah, HDX is a finicky device. Looks like you may have skipped a few critical prerequisites (eg: NEXUS 2.0.3 not guaranteed to run w/Safestrap; TWRP is not compatible with 3.2.8) but that's water under the bridge. Flashing stock recovery is your first step IMHO but if you can't see your device via tether then you are pretty much hosed.
Should you seek a replacement Amazon will likely provide a refurbished unit given you are outside the 30-day return window. There have been reports of refurbished units coming with older firmware that that can be exploited (bootloader unlock) which will permit TWRP, Nexus and other ROMs to be installed. You'll need to do some reading to explore your options.

Ja, its true because of more excitation and some laziness i escaped some important things to know. Anyway learned something.
I just called amazon and the conversation was like this.
Me: My device hanged on Kindle fire logo. what shall i do?
Amazon: since when ?
Me: Yesterday
Amazon: is that device rooted?
Me: No
Amazon: But I can see that it was rooted using some apps. and you asked for downgrade 2 days ago.
Me: I tried but i was not able to do so, But i had this problem when i did factory reset. ( It was a lie )
Amazon: Ok. Did you drop the device or was it in water before you had this problem.
Me: No No
Amazon: Ok then it should be defect. so send it to us. Thanks
But I am not sure whether they will replace it.
Amazon (at least in the US) will likely make some type of accommodation to keep you happy; they are good that way. Keep us posted!

This is just for anyone who wants to root the Gigabyte rebranded pioneer R1 7 inch tablet.
After spending alot of time looking all over online in various forums and trying each of the many used root applications
including:
SRSRoot :failed
Framaroot :not supported
Root with Restore by Bin4ry :failed
SuperOneClick :failed
and trying thru cmd line in the ASDK :failed (couldn't copy to temp folder,probably my own inexperience using ASDK)
I went to the more questionable Kingo :failed

replaced the Chinese Su with one from google play

Hey everyone - I recently purchased this tablet as well and can confirm that rooting was successful with VRoot English V. 1.7.3.4863. Finding the file was a pain in the ass, but I finally found a copy.
It might set off your antivirus, but I didn't have any side effects from running. When it runs, it downloaded the ADB drivers for my device. I think that is why it reaches out to its Chinese server. Once I was finished, I deleted and ran MalwareBytes, AVG, and another antivirus to confirm that there were no residual effects. Seems to be clean and false alarm.
Best of luck either way!

find the program I used listed in my original post^ to root device, then install Superuser from googleplay and overwrite the chinese Su program
So far as I know no-one has done custom roms for the r1.
hold on to your receipt for the tablet alot of ppl ended up with a expensive paperwight, myself included.
a system update happened and currently we are stuck in a bootloop until we can get the tablet into recovery mode.

1) dont know it just hung on updating for hours.
2) we currertly dont know how to get it into recovery mode , 1 recessed reset button and a power button, most boots into recovery use vol+ and vol-
3)I was on 4.2.2 before this happened
4)it updated itself on reboot, auto download over wifi I think
5)I havent talked to Cs yet only sent an email which remains unanswered until monday at the earliest
6)ravensmoke called Cs and they told him
"The Pioneer people didnt want to do any troubleshooting. told me to send it to them to fix and that if they found anything wrong other than hardware issue i am liable for the charges on top of the shipping cost"
Click to expand...

7)possible to download the "pioneer r1 update app" in playstore and update from there
8)pick up your tablet keep all receipts walmart does up to 7 day refunds
i dont have the tablet yet but i ordered it from walmart online and it says it comes with a 1yr warrenty.
so your telling me as soon as i boot it up its going to update to the firmware that causes the boot loop?
or do u have to update myself with the update app?.
when did u update it?
and is it working now?

it does have a warranty that covers hardware issues and not shipping
its entirely possible , I didnt have an issue untill friday when I rebooted the tablet
I didnt update it, it did so automatically
no, Cs was not open on sat-sun
ravensmoke42069 said Cs told him there was no way to go into recovery so he would have to send it to them to fix
brandonlee96 after the day Ive had with both sides of pioneers Cs, I advise you to pick up the tablet and immediately head to the Cs desk and return the tablet.
If you keep it and run into any problems they will not troubleshoot the problem, they simply want you to ship them the item you paid for and pay for shipping as well as find the issue is not covered under warranty and bill you for "fixing" their screw up.This is not how a company should be operating selling consumer goods w/ warranty. I've had to return electronics before and while I can understand paying the shipping to their company, the threat that "if it's anything other then a hardware issue, we will be forced to charge you before returning the item to you" is utter bs.
I call Scam and I will not be purchasing anything bearing a pioneer logo ever again.

Hi guys,
After a lot of problems I had with my Fire HD7 as explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/help/fire-hd7-stuck-boot-loop-t3283194 , I decided to flash the 5.2 bootloader via TWRP, so as to be able to update via sideload and get back to 4.5.3 to root and update later on, I completely bricked my device, such that it won't turn on anymore, but is recognised by my PC as MTxxx-Preloader, something like that at least.
After going round some threads on the Fire HD forums, I found a solution talking about the use of the fastboot cable.
But all the threads are about 2nd Gen Fires, where as mine is a 4th gen.
EDiT : I had it all wrong when I downloaded the wrong bootloader file, i.e : 5.2 recovery_uboot instead of 5.2_recovery_only
Could someone really help me out of this messy situation, cause I'm really angry at myself for the mess up i've made...
Thx for reading...

Sorry to say this is now unrecoverable. Amazon will replace if you're still under warranty.
Warranty, I don't think so, cause I ain't even the one who bought it, and after the root and all ..
Is a warranty restored if you have unrooted, or lost root access somehow?

The warranty period starts when the device was first registered. Amazon can tell you if it is over or when it will end. Your problem now is: "My tablet won't start." No need to describe all the gory details about how it got that way.
OK thx, will try
Would a factory cable help get into fast boot with the same kinda issue? my computer shows it as the same "preloader" device after trying to go back to 4.5.3 for xposed. I followed the directions like 7 times in a row but still got a brick, in over 5 years of flashing roms, rooting ect this is 1st device I have bricked.
No, the factory cable is useless with this model
OK so i have searched everywhere for days. Tried tons of kindle unlock/unbrick tools including the Kindle Fire Utility. I rooted my Kindle fire HD7 (no sd card slot) using kingroot and twrp. at some point i used a utility that also put SuperSU on it. Everything seemed successful and i rebooted several times tweaking other settings, when i was almost finished tweaking i tried to remove kingsroot and rebooted which put me into some kind of boot loot. I only see the white AMAZON (arrow under the word AMAZON) logo it only stays up for about 15 secs then goes black and starts over. All the unbrick tools i have tried either say can't find device and fail or say <waiting for device> and are never able to find it. I have installed new signed kindle device drives successfully, android SDK with kindle fire drivers and google usb drivers. Windows device manager does show an Other device (with accompanying ding dong sound) > MTX65xx Preloader for about 5 secs then it disappears, the kindle never shows up as a drive thou. I ordered and am using a Fastboot cable that i ordered from amazon as well as a samsung galaxy usb cable which seems to have no effect. Ive tried using it in usb 2.0 slot as well as 3.0 (which they say won't work) The cable is from Atomic Market (3ft Motorola Factory Cable unbrick Droid Xoom Fire).
I also tried loading linux Ubunto via USB and running all unbrick tools i could find, always the same result .. they can't find device or waiting for device.
Windows 7 and Windows 10 same problem
Does anyone know how to help me? every article or guide i find talks about the kindle Fire logo that is orange and white or blue and white i never see either anymore (mine used to be orange and white)with an animation or without. or a triangle... i have not read one article that talks about the white amazon logo.
Thank you,
Mnfire
You have tried holding Power and Volume-up buttons to see if you can boot to recovery? If that doesn't work, you are unrecoverably hard-bricked and just wearing yourself out trying methods designed for other devices:
* Fastboot cable doesn't work with Fire HD.
* There's no unbricking tool for the Fire HD
If still under warranty, contact Amazon for replacement. If not under warranty, used Fire HDs are going for as low as $30: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...iguration=all&mv_digital_storage_capacity=all

Doubt it. These devices are almost unfixable if you can't get to the OS, TWRP or OS 5 recovery. It's kind of weird that you get anything from adb devices mid-boot. Exact condition producing "offline" slips my mind atm, but I think it just means you're, uh, offline--not booted. You could see what device manager shows and search for offline.

Look, all I know is what little I know. You are welcome to try anything. Sometimes people strike luck! But why would want to use a procedure for a 2012 device that has fastboot capability on a 2014 device that doesn't? Believe me, I understand desperation (been there!), but I have yet to see anyone fix a Fire HD with a method designed for a different device.

I used the almighty wipe feature of safesortrap and now i have no zips on the device, no way to put them on it, i tried adb push, sideload,etc. i do have a fastboot cable, although when it is plugged in to the fastboot cable, it wont turn on at all. my computer recognizes it as an unknown
device in safestrap, troubleshooting doesnt work. I have the OS I need, I just need a way of getting it onto the device. Any help is greatly appreciated! c: NOTE: 3rd gen kindle fire hdx 7. Also, is it possible when it is unbricked to unlock the bootloader in this situation?
Depends on the Fire OS version you had installed. Only versions below x.3.2.4 are unlockable (i.e. 3.2.3.2 or lower). Note that you can NOT downgrade below 3.2.8 once 3.2.8 or higher have been installed! Attempt would brick the device, thanks to rollback protection by amazon.
Which Safestrap version do you have installed, and what did you wipe?

Don't be so quick, Safestrap v4 has a built-in System-wipe-protection, could've helped here.
Stay away from amazon's stock recovery! Using it with Safestrap installed will brick the device!
Try to get adb access, I think there's a thread somewhere here where a user was able to get access and to revive the HDX. May be the PDA drivers help regarding that. If not, try the original amazon drivers again.
Also try different USB cables, the HDX is surprisingly picky regarding cables. Fastboot cables won't work anyway btw.
You mean the PDANET drivers?
Nvm found it, trying this
I have adb access, i think it was the cable and im a noob, thank you for your time!
Kindle Fire THOR Black Screen wont connect to ADB
Okay so long long story short- my daughter has a kindle fire HD 7 inch version 3rd generation tablet. I did root it a while back and thought I had disabled the updates. However she accidentally so how allowed the updates and duringt the process it went black screen and wont boot or do anything at all. I have read countless forums and tried almost all the un-bricking tools out there as well as the commands in ADB. Currently what I have concluded is that the tools and typical un-bricking methods wont work since the tablet will not power on it wont connect to the computer in ADB mode and I have no idea if its in USB debugging mode at this time.
It will sorta power on (screen still blank- by holding the power button for 20 secs) and the computer "senses" it but at that point it will not be recognized by the PC, and give the error that the "USB device has malfunctioned". I have tried about everything out there- can you guys help me out to get the power back on at least where I can get the ADB to recognize the device? Thanks in advance.
Oh- I did purchase a fastboot cable as well but that did not help matters at all.....

You mentioned "THOR" in the title later expanding that to "HD 7". They are two distinctly different devices. For the purpose of this post I'll assume you are referincing a 3rd gen HDX 7 device (Thor). Unfortunately nothing can be done short of board replacement which is not cost effective given the current price point of pre-owned devices in good condition. As you probably read fastboot/factory cables are useless on HDX models which is the only way to communicate with an otherwise comatose device. Sorry for your daughter's loss. Poke around action sites like eBay; I have seen supposedly new 16GB HDX 7's going for $50-60 USD. If you daughter is younger a 5th gen 7" fire is a good alternative as it can be rooted and with several quality custom ROMs available you FireOS is not to you/her liking.
Thanks

Unfortunately nothing can be done short of board replacement which is not cost effective given the current price point of pre-owned devices in good condition. As you probably read fastboot/factory cables are useless on HDX models which is the only way to communicate with an otherwise comatose device. Sorry for your daughter's loss. Poke around action sites like eBay; I have seen supposedly new 16GB HDX 7's going for $50-60 USD. If you daughter is younger a 5th gen 7" fire is a good alternative as it can be rooted and with several quality custom ROMs available you FireOS is not to you/her liking.

Thank you very much for the info - I was suspecting that unfortunately.
Question
Apologies, to hasty in getting a question onto the forums
hello,
my hdx 7inch "thor" I believe is stuck and bricked.
It was on an old firmware that was rootable with towelroot, and it was towelrooted with supersu installed. no safestrap, no custom rom, no twrp, no bootloader unlock. I was aware of the issue of this tablet so I never really mess with it. well until I handed this to my relative and she tried to do a factory reset in the settings to set up her own amazon account.
when I connect it to my laptop and tried adb I get either device offline or unathorized.
let me know if it's not unbrickable, so I will accept the loss.
thanks

Should be able to revive it via 1-click. But it will take some work.
