So I'm running a kindle fire gen 2 that's rooted and i went to flash TWRP which happened "successfully" according to flashify but i went to reboot my kindle and it boots normally for about half a second then sits at a red screen that i cant do anything with. would really appreciate feedback ASAP. I was aware of the dangers of flashing but it still boots so i believe there might still be a hope. (Wont register on my PC when plugged in either)

I follow some instruction on internet and after the wipe step on safestrap, my kindle is completely dead now. it wouldnt turn on anymore, keeping showing the kindle fire logo. I think It's been erased !
Are there anyway i could revive my kindle or is it ready to be thrown away ?
Please help. Thanx !
i have a similar problem, after a wipe data factor reset from safestrap and then flashing the thor gapps rom and making sure the rom slot was active(not the stock rom slot) but the rom slot that i flashed the thor gapps rom on and ,,,i rebooted the device as usual but it only booted to the grey kindle fire splash screen so i held the power button until it booted again but only going to the grey kindle fire splash screen again,,,so i tried to boot it to safestrap recovery using the volume buttons but it would only boot to kindle fire factory recovery,so i rebooted the kindle from there and back to the grey kindle fire splash screen it went, so i rebooted in to kindle recovery because safestrap was not coming up and it would only go to kindle recovery,so i hit the return the kindle to factory settings and when it was done it went back to grey kindle screen and thats all it will do,,,,when i plug it up to windows i get mtp in device manager,but the driver has an error saying device can not start error 10
and when i plug it up in ubuntu 12.04 and run lsusb in the terminal it comes up with an id and says Google Inc. but i can't get adb to recognize the kindle,,, i even checked adb with another android device to make sure it is all setup right and it worked,,,, i have read a few times in the forums here that you have recovered this device from many types of bricks and feel that if the grey kindle fire logo/splash screen is coming up that there is hope to get adb working,,,
any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance !!!!

Hi everyone. I have a strange problem with my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. It downloaded the software upgrade, but it won't upgrade. Yesterday the device shut down and rebooted in fastboot, than it was completly died. I can't boot it. If I connect with USB cable I get: QHUSB_BULK. The kindle wasn't rooted. The display is black, there isn't Kindle Logo.
Sorry for my bad english

Press and hold power button for 20+ seconds to see if you get a response. Make sure you have a full charge (any response to the charge cable?). Could be a hardware problem but more likely a botched upgrade. If the device is still under warranty reach out to Amazon. They are pretty good about replacing faulty devices.
I'm in the same boat as the OP.
I have a botched upgrade and Safestrap seemed to got formatted.
Stuck in BULK mode using a Fastboot cable with no ADB access. I can also get to the grey logo screen that prompts for a Factory Reset or Reboot but nothing happens there either.
Am I SOL?
Well I have the same problem in my HDX 7.
I downgraded from 4.5.3 to 3.2.4 because I wanted to root the device.
The installation was successful and my kindle rebooted just fine....I started to download some apps from store....I left the device for 10 minutes closed not turned off and when I came back to open it not to turn on the screen was black and none of the buttons where responding...I tried every combination of buttons but didn't work...My pc recognize it as QHSUSB_BULK...I found the correct drivers and now I can connect it to PC but only in QHSUSB_BULK mode...
It's not rooted,
doesn't have safestrap installed
it doesn't reboot in stock recovery and
It doesn't have warranty cause is outdated
Thanks in advance

let me add myself in the same queue unfortunately :/
got my kindle hdx 7" bricked and now nothing goes ahead of the booting screen dooooh
I am having an issue. Updated kindle fire 6 hd 4th gen to 5.0, downgraded to 4.5.3. Installed king root, rooted device, installed flashify, flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-ariel.img, rebooted. Now I am stuck rebooting . If plugged into a computer loads to the amazon logo, shuts down, loads to the logo repeat.
I have tried to fast boot by correcting drivers in device manager for the mtp whatever and constantly spamming the fast boot string.
I have used adb to see if a device ever loads and it doesn't.
Windows makes the sound that a new device is connected for about 15 seconds then will make the noise that a device has been disconnected as the fire reboots. I want to say it is a soft brick since it attempts to load and is communicating with windows to some degree. I have searched for two days and tried KFFA and an assortment of other tools. Any thoughts or assistance is greatly appreciated. It was only 60 bucks so not really worth sending it in to someone for repair. Also since it was brand new amazon is sending a replacement so this thing is now simply a toy to learn on.
When it can't get past the Amazon logo, there is no hope. OS 4.5.3 should be able to boot TWRP after OS 5.0. Where did you get the 5.0 file? Is it possible you got updated at some point?

You probably Flashified TWRP into your boot partition (instead of recovery). Since TWRP not signed, it will not boot. You can probably get into 4.5.3 recovery by pressing Pwr + Vol+ during boot, but that's not going to do you much good. Anyway, if Amazon can get you a replacement, go for it!

When I say 5.0 I am talking generic. I updated it to that version in order to downgrade the OS.

Yeah I tried that. I get reboot or erase everything and restart. Neither works.
Hello,
My Kindle doesn't start up anymore. I first downgraded it to 13.3.x.x and then performed a Factory Reset on it and installed SafeStrap which then Crashed and it said SafeStrap stopped (before I tried unlocking the SafeStrap Rom Slot manager which you have to load while booting) but it didn't say that it was unlocked. Then I went out of town for maybe 30 Minutes. So far everything perfect. But then suddenly, when I came back I wanted to switch it on from Standby and it didn't do anything. Back then the Battery should have been about 90%. I already tried to press the Powerbuton for about 2 minutes but the Screen Still stayed Black. When I connect it to my PC it only shows "Unknown Device" and doesn't seem to be able to detect it. Please Help me because my Warranty ran out. I had Root.
Thanks,
Leonhard
Hey there. Just got my kindle today. So I started right away to jailbreak it. I started updating the firmware to 4.5.2. It is an 8.9 2013 Modell.
I finally rooted it with Rootking, cause it did not work with the cve20147911.apk way.
I installed Safestrap 4.01, than installed the recovery, but when I hit Reboot to Recovery, it the kindle resets and then freezes.
When I hardreset it, a Safestrap screen shows up, which says that Safestrap is disabled and the device will reboot in 10 seconds. The other option is hitting Recovery, but that results into a black screen of death and I have to hardreset the device again.

Hum...seems like a cross-post (against XDA rules). Answered this in another thread.
