Kindle FIre HDX Bootloop? - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

favorite
I have a kindle fire hdx that I had fixed two weeks ago for a broken screen and broken charging port, (why you ask and why I didn't bother to get a new one is because this kindle has important files that I didn't put on my computer or printed out which was a mistake) anyway, it is finally fixed and it looks like it is working, except when I charged it, it was rebooting when all of a sudden it gave me a complete blue screen when it tried to go to the page where you put your password in. I tried restarting it for 30 seconds and now when it reboots, the opening before you enter the password where it has the words kindle fire twice font is blurry and scratchy looking. I really need those files as they are personally important to me. Is there anyone that can help?
After I charged it, the blue screen went away and it is stuck on booting up where the kindle fire logo appears and doesn't go past the screen where I can put in my password. I got close to where the screen changes from the logo to the screen where I can put my password but it freezes and reboots again.

[Q] TouchWiz crashed my Tab

I installed the update on a nonrooted galaxy tab 10.1. Now it is stuck trying to reboot. Try to do a factory reset, and it won't work. I would like to root it so I can access some files while i'm traveling. What's the best, quickest option?
I got a problem too
After updating my device and rebooting it, everything seemed to be fine. It turned on, (Samsung GALAXY TAB 10.1) logo appeared, then instead of getting the normal screen all i got was unreadable screen made of small pixels, like an old broken tv. I know the screen is not broken because of the logo at first (which I tried to restart several times and always the logo is fine but what's after the logo is not working) Also I tried plugging in my device later and the battery icon that indicates it's charging when it's turned off is perfectly normal. But I can't seem to use my device or even see the main screen PLEASE HELP!!
Bricked!
Downloaded the TW update this morning, and then attempted to install it immediately. After a couple of minutes, it told me the installation failed and to either contact Samsung or do something with the Kies.
I OK'ed out of the dialogue boxes and then it asked me to reboot. I said 'yes'. When I did, upon it restarting, saw a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 logo (and the music). Then it went to a scrambled screen and totally unusable Tab.
Called Samsung customer service twice. I was told how to start the Tab in "Manual Mode" (I guess I would call it going into dev or recovery mode). Wiped everything and did a Factory Reset. When I reboot, it hangs on that new logo a little longer, but still is screwed up.
So, while I was on the phone with the second Samsung tech, I realized that this thing was going to have to go to Samsung for repair - so I decided to click around a little. I started the Tab again in Manual Mode, but before I got to the wipe and reset options, I got two icons. One was a Android robot (with the word "Downloading" below it) and the other was a box with an arrow coming out of it next to a smaller android robot. I decided to choose the Robot with the downloading below it.
When I do that, I get to a "ODIN3 Download Mode" screen. From this point, I feel that I am close to being able to restoring the Tab to stock - but I have no idea what to do from here. The screen has some ASCII text at the top left. It says "Connected! Press the [Start] of Odin3!!". There is a large Android robot in the middle of the screen. Below it is "Downloading..." and "Do not turn off target!!".
What can I do to bring my Tab back from the brink? HELP!!!
I have noticed I can plug the Tab into the pc and see what is on the Tab. So, I can still put files ON the Tab and run them from the recovery screen.
thanks in advance!

Kindle Fire possibly bricked after following root instructions.

Yesterday afternoon, I took it upon myself to attempt a Kindle Fire root, which seemed to be successful. I had followed the instructions and I had even installed TWRP (At least, I think I did). I think was asked to reboot, and I did. Unfortunately, I am now met with a brick. All that is showing right now everytime I turn on the device is the "Kindle fire" logo all in white letters with the screen's brightness down. It does not go any further than that at all. I had tried to remedy the situation by using Unbrick tools, but anytime I clicked on "Stuck on Logo", I got the "error: device not found" message. I even tried to do the standard "Hold power button for 20 seconds", but that didn't work either.
All the rooting and TWRP flashing/installation was done with a regular Amazon USB cable. I didn't have a fastboot cable, so I made do with a regular one. Now it seems as though I might need to purchase one from Amazon. Although I had read somewhere online that someone was able to use an Xbox One Play and Charge Cable claiming that it works the same as a fastboot cable (can anyone confirm this, by the way?). Hopefully, my Kindle Fire HD can be saved with or without a fastboot cable.
No amount of Googling has gotten me very far at all. I would include a screenshot of what my Kindle Fire looks like when turned on, but I cannot due to being a new user. I may, however, be able to send a PM if requested.
Forgot to add. The model of my Kindle is the Kindle Fire HD 7 3rd Generation
UPDATE: Apparently, my computer can still kind of detect it. Whenever I have the device plugged into my computer and press the power button and volume down, I get a USB connection sound with a message "the last USB device you connected to the computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it"
EDIT2: I think this might be in the wrong section.
Really? No help on this issue at all? That's sad, man.
Did you try to boot to the recovery?
If you can turn it off do so. Wait a few seconds and then press power and volume + button at the same time until it boots.
Does it boot to the recovery screen?

Yes I have tried that, but that did not boot to recovery at all. The Kindle Fire is still stuck at the white Kindle Fire logo and won't go any further at all. It even shuts off probably because I am holding the power button.
I am running Windows 10 if that helps.
Windows 10 should not matter for this particular thing because I am talking about not being connected to your PC. If you are connected to the PC while doing this that could interfere with the process I would imagine, so do this while not connected.
I read in another post where a guy had similar freeze and had to press power first for a second then vol + and hold it for a long time. Eventually it came up.
Mine never had a white fire logo. Mine starts with a white amazon logo followed by colored/flashing fire logo. From what I have read if you can make it to the colored fire logo you can save it. If you are stuck at the white amazon logo then it's worse.
But I have never read of a white fire logo. Mine is a 6 (4th gen) which could be the difference.
When mine screwed up I was stuck at colored fire logo (past white amazon logo). It took numerous resets but eventually I got back in.
Neither pressing and holding volume + or - seemed to help at all. Volume - seems to do at least something as the computer detects it for a split second. I'm not really sure what that is, though.
Even when not connected, I'm getting nowhere with this.
Okay, so further progress has been made, I think. I had left the Kindle off and held the Volume - button, then connected it to the computer. Lo and behold, I hear a USB Device connected sound with no error message in sight. I have no idea where to go from there.
EDIT: Saw error message. I spoke too soon.

Sorry to say, you used a root guide for the 2014 Fire HD 6/7 on your 2013 Kindle Fire. Try posting here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...p/help-thread-question-noob-friendly-t3206681 or (more people) at KFSOWI Modding on G+

Actually, I didn't use a root guide for the 2014 Fire HD on my 2013 Kindle Fire. I actually followed a guide on a different website which I cannot find record of because Google Chrome's browsing history has a way of messing up.
Thanks for the link, by the way. Really helps.
Regrettably I can't help you. I have a 2014 HD 6, so I have no familiarity with your device. And on mine all I have done is rooted it and disabled practically all the Amazon stuff to try to make it the most android like that I could possibly get without bricking it.
I have not installed a different launcher.
I have not installed a custom ROM.
I have not installed TWRP (yet)
I have not install gapps (or any Google stuff at all)
I have not installed TWRP because, to me at least, the instructions posted here are very difficult to follow. After reading them numerous times I still don't get it. I'm not sure what to download, from where, what to run or how.
Also I don't know what value having TWRP would be for me because I have no desire to install gapps or any Google stuff. So, at this point at least, I have not had any need for TWRP yet. Other than installing Google stuff I have not needed TWRP.
I have not install gapps because I am trying to make this thing light and android like. It seems to me that taking off a ton of Amazon stuff just to replace it with a ton of Google stuff defeats my personal purpose with this tablet. I have all the apps I need or use downloaded directly from their sources so I don't need Google Play.

The thread I've started is not in the appropriate section anyway, so don't feel any regret.

@xSentinel
how did you get it working again. currently I am stuck at the flashing fire logo and goes no where else. any help is appreciated.
Sorry for the delay.
Honestly I don't know exactly what specific thing I did, as I was panicking at the time and tried everything. First off I booted to the recovery screen. I tried clearing the cache partition and then rebooting. That did not appear to fix it as it still hung at the fire logo.
Next I tried every other option in the recovery list one by one except for reset and return to factory defaults. I did not want to do that yet and lose all I had gained so far.
Eventually I just set it down on the fire logo and walked away, figuring I needed a break and time to clear my head and contemplate my next move. Probably I also took some time to post in here and see if anyone had an answer. By the time I came back I saw it had booted up correctly and was working fine. So it is possible that all it needed was an inordinate amount of time to boot.
So sadly I can't say with any specificity what actual thing I did that did it or if it just fixed itself when I left it alone for a long time. I wish I could be more help.

Hi! I am using Fire phone, i post in this page because no one helps me in amazon fire phone thread. My phone started to freeze so i rebooted it, since 2 weeks i am stucked at amazon logo, can't reach fire logo, just reboots continously, can t acces recovery/fastboot. I can turn off the phone just when it is not plugged into charge. When i connect fire phone to pc, i hear a sound that show me it is connected, adb doesn't recognize it, device manager doesn't show any new device when that sound appears(that sound appears when reboots, it is like removing and connecting a device into usb). Battery percentage doesn't show, just the icon of a empty battery and a cable. Knows somebody a fix? Fire os 4.6.6.1 all stuf is stock, adb installed correctly.

Sorry - this forum/thread is for HDX devices only. Fire phone is a completely different beast. A freeze at the Amazon logo is indicative of a bootloader or hardware failure which have nothing in common with HDX devices.

*Kindle Fire HD 8 7th gen* Soft Brick

So, I have a Kindle Fire HD 8 7th gen tablet. I have root access and I deleted the fire keyboard after installing Gboard. I have had a guest profile on my kindle (child profile) and I knew I had deleted most everything that was child profile related. I wanted to see how messed up the profile was, and when I saw what I wanted to see (a black screen) I locked and unlocked the fire. Unfortunately, when I tried to log back on to the main profile the "Please enter your pin" screen popped up, but to my dismay, no keyboard. I have tried every possible fix (that I know of) to try to reinstall the keyboard on the lock screen using adb and nothing has worked. Please help.
