Hi
I have the same problem, and I am in exactly the same situation as you, having got the factory cable from Amazon just today. unlike the other kindles, it doesn't appear with the yellow triangle, but its a big step since your PC recognises the kindle. Now all you really need is a unbrick utlity, but I haven't found one yet, I'll write to you as soon as i sort something out with my kindle so you can do exact same thing on yours.

Hello
Can you get fastboot ultility to recognise your kindle? If it can,you can do a factory reset, by putting in the following command.
"fastboot -w -i 0x1949".
This is thanks to r3pawn.
Lets hope we goet somewhere.

Hard to say anything since there is no magic fix. Fixes are based on what you broke & your post gives no indication of what you did when you "bricked" it. Until I know what you did, I can not tell you what may, or may not, work.
Similar situation
Although I had Safe Strap, SU and etc. installed on my rooted HDX 7", I panicked when my firewall failed to block the 13.3.2.1 update and cut the power off in mid update. Unfortunate reflex that led to a soft brick. Although I now can get into Fastboot no problem (I can't access the ADB commands though), I have tried to flash recoveries, boot images and so on. I can erase data (I'd call myself an expert at this part of the rooting process) and arrange file system layouts but then can't get past this error:
FAIL: flashing not allowed for locked hw.
Anyone know how to, maybe change permissions on the hardware or whatnot to get the device to let me write to the system partition? I'm flashing from a iMac btw.
I mean the Christmas colors of the text as far as what worked and what didn't are fun to look at, but the actual loading of the Kindle OS might provide more long term visual excitement. Thanks and love all y'all's insights into navigating the treacherous waters of root access and tweaking the twerkinator in these here twandroids.
----
EDIT: I can use the ./adb commands but I was having trouble before with the period-less version. Was still getting no device to show up when I query adb but got this through fastboot:
fastboot -i 0x1949 devices -l
(serial number) fast boot usb:FA130000
Redaction is mine ...
qhsusb_bulk
So...
My Kindle Fire HDX is in the same boat... Honestly, not sure what happened. I had rolled back to 3.2.8, installed Saftstrap, SU, thought that I had disabled the OTA update but only by renaming the file. I was rooted and flashed ggow's Nexus mod on the ROM SLOT 1 and left the stock alone. It was working fine, never tried to update anything that night. Was plugged in and connected and booted to the Nexus side. The next morning I was showing someone how I could switch to the Amazon side through Safestrap and still had no issues. I set the Kindle on my desk at work and looked over to see it at the Kindle Fire logo and below it a progress bar saying Installing System Update! What I don't understand is I had not connected to the WiFi at work. The Kindle was wiped out and did not have the WiFi passwords nor did I accept the WiFi policy when connecting.
I had a couple of file on the SD card that I had transferred via the USB cable on the SD portion of the Kindle. The nexus mod .zip file and a copy of the renamed OTA update file that I had changed the name and extension on. Did it somehow recognize the .zip nexus file as an update and try to load it?? I am lost...
I am able to plug it into the computer and was getting the qhsusb_bulk as the device type. I have tried to access that through adb but it doesn't find it.
Amazon was kind enough to offer me a refurbished kindle for $149. I said I can buy a new HD7 for $99!? So... I have just over a year old 64gb HDX staring at me... asking me why I messed with it. Good question...
If anyone has any advice or possible solution, that would be great!
Thanks
I think I know what was happening. The I am not sure the rename to block ota does work on 3.2.8. I know it is not supposed to be able to update at all, but obviously it seems like it can. Odd.

I installed twrp on my kindle 8.9, then i installed a couple of roms onto it. It worked just perfect. That until i got bored of the CM and i wanted to get back to the original OS. I followed the instructions on this site : //androidcowboy.com/2013/06/how-to-return-kindle-fire-hd-to-stock// , and then it got stuck to the static white/orange boot screen. I tried several restore softwares like kfhd, kffa, kindle unbrick, utilities and then i got the redscreen. After that i searched the internet and everyone adviced me to use either the kfhd uility or the kffa, and then BOOM, the device won't turn on.
I read that i could do the shorting trick, but nobody tried that. Is my kindle bricked for good, or do I still have any hope?
Have you tried holding the power button down for 30 seconds, releasing, then trying to boot?

First & foremost, you say you did this on a "Kindle Fire HD 8.9". Is this correct? If so, you are in the WRONG forum. This is for the NEW Kindle model, called the HDX.
If you do something for the HDX on the HD you will likely make the situation much worse. If you truly are on the OLDER Kindle Fire HD, then you can ALMOST ALWAYS recover using fastboot, but that will require either buying or making a factory fastboot cable.

Yes, i have the 8.9 hd model not the hdx. I tried holding the power button for 30 sec/ 1min , but it didn't work. And i don't know if any recovery/fastboot cable could help me, the device won't even turn on. Also, im sorry for misplacing this thread, but by any chance, does anyone know what should i start with? Maybe an older thread or anything.

Here is where you should start. http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hd
As I have BOTH the HD 8.9 & the HDX 8.9, I can tell you that a factory fastboot cable would likely work. It allows you to flash over adb, like other normal Android devices. At any rate, there are several threads & tools available in the forums I linked above that should help to get you going again.

Guessing you didn't copy out the build.prop, make your edits... copy back, and then reset the permissions... Or use a build.prop editor which sets the permissions back for you... And if you made a change just to "see what it would do" and you did it to your stock rom and not a rom slot you were asking for trouble...
Can you still access the tablet with ADB? If so, it should be a fairly easy unbrick...

If you cannot access the device through ADB then I am afraid your issue is probably beyond my skill set. There are several HDX brick threads here. Maybe one of those will be helpful.
A few of questions though... So you can get the best help possible.
1. Do you have safestrap recovery installed, or is/was your system 100% stock (aside from being rooted)?
2. What edits did you make to build.prop (be specific)
3. What method did you use to edit? prop editor, or text editor?
4. Do you have a backup of your build.prop, from BEFORE your edits?
umm

Why may I ask where you messing with the stock slot at all especially if you're not familiar with android .. Safestrap was designed specifically to keep this from happening . As of right now there is not a fix for you sorry . You probably would have known all that though if you had been reading at all in this forum or at least read how to use safestrap properly . This device is currently locked down tight safestrap was our only option there is no easy way to fix a brick there is no fastboot or repairs from a brick state that is public anyway.. There are warnings all over this forum sorry you missed them http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786190 good luck in your endeavor .

You really wonder why Amazon does not want an external Sd card ? The company a media company that also has cloud storage has interest in protecting copyrighted material, and that makes a business out of selling movies and music, and obviously they don't want you sideloading large amounts of your own media. Ect. Plus they've saved a few cents in manufacturing costs and get exactly what they want out of the device. You haveing use their storage and streaming... I don't know how many people that come in here thinking this is a regular tablet it is not. it is a Amazon media sales tool. And they have worked very hard to keep it that way, otherwise we would not be in these locked up predicaments.
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

100% sure. If you're stuck at OS 4 recovery (no adb sideload option), it can't be fixed.

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.
