Please help. My kindle Fire won't start. I power it on, and the white, static kindle fire logo comes on, then the screen goes black (but the screen is on, there is a slight glow to it).
My computer won't recognise it via usb, and I tried a factory reset in the recovery menu. Is there any way to fix it?
I think the problem might be that I edit the 'hosts' file in the root folder, to try and get google play working, and may have done this wrong.
Please help, and I thank you all a ton.

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.

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

Sounds like you bricked it.
If you can get it to show up on your computer (e.g. see Device Manager), you will likely be able to just follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...-to-unbrick-kindle-fire-hdx-firmware-t3277197

Thank you for the context. Detailed response follows:
I had bricked my 3rd gen HDX but was able to get a new Motherboard/Daughterboard combo off Ebay. Got them successfully installed. When i boot it shows a grey kindle fire logo for a few seconds then shows a white screen with diagnostics on it. Cant do anything but hold the power button to reboot. I do have ADB and can reboot into recovery. My windows machine sees the kindle as an MTP usb device. I dont want to proceed without proper guidance. I just want to get it working and stop messing with it. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
