My HDX boots but won't go past the animated Kindle Fire logo.
I can access (stock) recovery and do a factory reset (which didn't help at all, I must add)
I tried draining down the battery (still didn't help)
The bootloader is locked, no custom recovery, stock ROM.
The microUSB port has a bent pin (which I haven't gotten around to fixing yet) so I haven't tried ADB/fastboot as of yet.
Is there any hope for me?

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.

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
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)
Hello,
I've been trying to get rid of Fire OS for quite a while now and replace it with Stock Android or something close as Fire OS is really basic but when ever I try to do it, The problem I have with my recovery gets in the way (on my Kindle Fire HDX - 3rd Generation - 7 inch)
When I hold the power off/on button + volume up and down buttons at bootup, It boots like the image shown below but gets into a boot loop until when it's given up it shows what is shown in the second image

(Sorry for not adding the actual images on here, I can't post the links properly yet and this is the only way I could do it because I have no idea how to upload images on here)
This is also the same with 'adb reboot recovery', It will just show the following:

So if anyone could help me out in any shape or form because I've been looking for solutions for weeks but I can not find one.
Thank you,
Kieran
I'm not exactly sure why you hold power + vol up or power + vol down? Note that you can NOT play around with amazon's HDX the way you can do with other devices! This will lead to an unrecoverable brick soon enough.
So, first of all, what the current status of your HDX? Fire OS version, rooted, etc.?
Kindle Fire HDX - 3rd Generation - 7 inch
Current Status: Working fine apart from Recovery Mode not working
Fire OS Version: 4.5.3
Rooted (Although this issue was there before I rooted)
Only default applications (Apart from KingRoot)
ADB drivers installed

Appears your recovery partition is damaged (duh). Unfortunately, you can not replace the contents with a locked bootloader. Nor can you rollback or upgrade to a different version of FireOS with a damaged recovery partition. Catch 22.
Longshot: If you can find a 4.5.2/4.5.2 recovery image you could try to flash it with flashify. Probably wouldn't work (locked bootloader) and you might end up with a brick.
In your shoes I would stick with FireOS 4.5.3 (well, you really don't have a choice) and use 1Mobile or similar technique to add apps not available in the Amazon Store. Many Xposed modules also work on FireOS.
Dear team,

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
anybody getting a catastrophic failure message?
