UPDATE: It has come to my attention that zergRush root has been patched and no longer works on the most resent updates. At the moment I haven't checked to see what to use to replace it. I would advise anyone who is needing to unbrick your device to go over to this thread started by Vashypooh: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889. It is the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.1 and has options to unbrick your kindle fire among many other great features. Please try his utility out as I have not been keeping up with this thread much over the holidays.
My kindle fire was stuck in a bootloop/bricked (info on what was going on prior to fixing: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355371) after some complications when trying to install google apps. I may of deleted system files, really not sure what happened at this point. Anyway, this is what finally fixed it. This will get your device to the just out of the box state. Just follow along with the commands. I documented as much as I could, but if you have any questions feel free to ask. Hope this helps anyone whos Kindle Fire wont boot up!
For this to work you will need fastboot and zergRush root
get fastboot here: http://multiupload.com/TPWBYSCGM7
details on how fastboot works: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot
zergRush root: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-kindle-fire/
->zergRush should be in the folder called files when extracted
Also make sure your device is charged, this will save you some time at the end!
I most likely not respond to private messages. This is a general thread so anyone can post here. It is beneficial to others since they may be experiencing the same problems as you. Being in my inbox wont help anyone.
***DISCLAIMER***: This process may not work for everyone! It really does depend on what you did to brick your kindle fire!! Also please consider thinking twice about messing with your device again after you fix it. Unless, of course, you think you can fix it on your own or are an advanced user.
PS: Read other peoples posts! Many have posted a lot of useful information, please use this to your advantage before asking questions!
PPS:What you did to brick your device is probably not unique. in order to prevent this thread from annoying those trying to help and from getting too long, we may ignore posts that ask questions or ask for solutions that have already been asked. If you don't get a reply within 24 hours, your problem probably falls under this.
PPPS:If the directions don't work and you don't see a solution in this thread already then you probably bricked your device beyond this way of recovery and need to seek other ways. If you are still having troubles please post a DESCRIPTIVE (pictures, links, anything and everything you did to get where you are at now) question/post with the problems you are facing and we can try and help you. Thank you.

Hard reset may work for some people - hold power button for ~20 seconds and turn back on. If it doesn't then proceed:
---------------------------------------///------------------------------------
How to begin the how-to using cmd:
1. Download the files you need and stick them in your C:\ directory
2. stick fastboot in C:\KindleFireRoot\files directory
3. open cmd (command prompt)
4. navigate to the files directory on your C:\ drive
should look similar to this:
Code:
C:\users\userName>cd C:\KindleFireRoot\files
5. now you are in the kindleFireRoot\files directoryshould look something like this:
Code:
C:\KindleFireRoot\files>
Now you can start following the directions in the how-to and type exactly what you see to the right of the $ and # symbols. You should see them but do not type another one next to what you already see.
---------------------------------------///------------------------------------
IF YOU THINK MODIFYING PERMISSIONS ON /system/app IS WHAT CAUSED YOUR DEVICE TO BOOTLOOP THEN FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
check your permissions first
Code:
adb shell
ls -l /system/
they should look like:
Code:
drwxr-xr-x root root 1970-01-01 00:00 lost+found
drw-r-xr-x root root 2011-11-29 12:31 app
drwxr-xr-x root shell 2011-11-16 03:03 bin
-rw-r--r-- root root 2144 2008-08-01 12:00 build.prop
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 etc
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 fonts
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 framework
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 lib
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 media
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 tts
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 usr
drwxr-xr-x root shell 2011-11-16 03:03 vendor
drwxr-xr-x root shell 2011-11-29 12:31 xbin
if yours do not look like this then continute:
follow the steps to temp root FIRST(steps 1 and 2 below)!
AFTER you temp root:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 755 /system/app
then reboot
Note: this can work with any directory that has permissions messed up
---------------------------------------///------------------------------------
IF YOU CHANGED WALLPAPERS/THEME AND BRICKED YOUR DEVICE BY MESSING WITH FRAMEWORK-RES.APK TRY THIS:
if you have adb active, try
adb shell ls -l /system/framework/framework-res.apk
if you dont see it show permissions as rw-r--r--
temp root (steps 1 and 2) first then run:
adb shell mount -o remount rw /system
adb shell chown root /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell mount -o remount ro /system
adb reboot
if that does not work, then you need to go back to the old file, get it from the amazon update (download the update from their site and unzip it with 7zip or winrar, ignore the fact it's called bin and just rename it if you don't know how to do it otherwise to .zip).
then run
adb push framework-res.apk /data/local/tmp
adb shell mount -o remount rw /system
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell chown root /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot
---------------------------------------///------------------------------------
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE APPLIES TO YOU THEN DO THESE STEPS:
//Step 1: push zergRush on the device then run chmod 755 on zergRush
Code:
$ adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
$ adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
//Step 2: temp root
Code:
$ adb shell

At this point the kindle hit splash screen for a few minutes then told me that my device needed to be charged (was at 13%) to continue. **So make sure your device is charged**, otherwise you will have to wait about 20-30 minutes depending on your charge %. The amber light finally came on while connected to PC which it wasn't doing before so this was a good sign.
After it was charged enough the next step stated: "Your kindle has detected a problem and must clear app storage.The recovery precess will erase some applications and data from your device. Apps from the appstore are stored in the cloud and can be reinstalled later. This will reset your kindle to its original factory settings. You will need to re-register your kindle prior to downloading items from your amazon account. Please press power button to proceed"
After you press the power button it shows a progress bar, reboots, hits splash screen for a few minutes then takes you to set up your Kindle Fire account YAYYYY!
Just a suggestion but perhaps one of the mods could move this to the developer's forum (or sticky it and make the links have http:// in front)? The OP could not post it there since they do not have 10 posts yet, but they're a friend of mine and we worked together to unbrick their device.
unbricking from recovery
I am going to try the method for unbricking, but not sure it will work on mine. My fire is stuck on the boot screen where it has a long message saying there is a problem with the fire and that it needs to restore the apps and bring it back to default.
It then says to press the power button continue with the restore. Then it completes, says success, then reboots right back into the same message screen all over again.
When I adb devices I get "firexxxxxSN recovery"
I am hoping fastboot can help me or perhaps I need to re-image recovery or boot.
What happened was this. I tried to follow a method to change my wallpapers using metamorph. I followed all the steps then started getting theme errors and such while in the kindle. I rebooted and was stuck in the bootloop as described here.
Being the novice I am, I thought I could then copy over a fresh copy of "system" from the fire system dump that was posted. I did this and this is where I am now.
Any help would be appreciated. It might be a good idea for us to figure this one out so that we have the procedure.
you dont need root to run idme.
But since you can get root, try clearing the /data/dalvik-cache by hand & reboot.. much quicker than a full userdata wipe.
Hi, assuming your responding to me, whats idme? Right now I cant get root just a bootloop. And when I adb devices I get my device serial # recovery where is normally says device serial # device
---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------
Here is the exact message I get on the screen:
'Your Kindle has detected a problem and must clear app storage. The recovery process will erase some applications and data from your device. Apps from the appstore are stored in the cloud and can be reinstalled later.
This will reset your kindle to its original factory settings. you will need to re-register your kindle prior to downloading items from your Amazon account.
Please press power button to proceed.'
After i press the power button I get a status bar indicating the restore, it then says success, then reboots and ultimately comes back to the same restore screen as noted above.
Any help is appreciated.
Hey, can you please tell me how you get into fastboot? I went to the wiki and did everything it said there but am stuck because I am getting stuck on step 5
Boot device into bootloader - How do I do this? Is this simply powering on the fire?
Make sure the device is in FASTBOOT and not HBOOT - same question
I'm getting "zergRush: permission denied" any help?
Wow, I'm so glad I found this! You just may be my life/job saver. I'm going to try this right now and reply with status.

I tried this previous to what I explained in my fix above and it didn't work. I was still stuck in bootloop and getting the same errors in the logs.

@transfuntioner - This sounds logical and I did try this. In my specific case it didn't work either but may work for others.
Done! Thanks ubeezee your awesomeness knows no boundaries. I owe you big-time! I'ma gonna buy you a whole case of beers.

Don't rely on the wiki directions...those are meant for other devices (particularly phones). Just do the steps listed in the OP in that order. You won't get some screen that explicitly says FASTBOOT. You'll just assume you are there because fastboot commands will work (and the fact you told the device to go into fastboot before rebooting it through bootmode idme).

Just because you have a bootloop, does not imply you cannot do things like run adb. You need to run "adb shell" with the kindle plugged into the computer and then push over the zergRush exploit and get root and then switch the mode to FASTBOOT. You cannot as far as I know get into FASTBOOT on the device unless you are able to tell it to through temp rooting and adb first.
But since you can get root, try clearing the /data/dalvik-cache by hand & reboot.. much quicker than a full userdata wipe.

From trying that with ubeezee, it did nothing to help on its own. It took clearing out all user data to trigger a restore that did something useful.

I think I know why, I forgot to add that you need to run chmod 755 on zergRush.(see updated first post)

i got to step 3 and there is no animation over the letters, so i think i am in fastboot, but i can not access the shell anymore. it appears my device is not being seen by adb? evn at a cmd prompt i tried fastboot devices and that shows nothing either.
any advice?

I'm not totally sure what you mean. Are you trying to access adb while in fastboot? Because that will not work.
When you're in fastboot, you don't use adb, you use fastboot commands to wipe all the user data (see the reference link in the OP for the commands that work on fastboot and note that it's nothing like adb). Fastboot runs a much lower level than anything you access in adb--it's like being in the BIOS for your computer more or less. It wont show "devices" or anything like that unless you explicitly run the "fastboot -i 0x1949 devices" command (I didn't bother to run that command on the kindle, I just jumped ahead and had it wiped using fastboot, since it didn't really matter if it detected it or not).
However, even if you don't run that command to show devices, you'll know it works when you run the fastboot command to wipe data and it gives you a reply. If it doesn't give a reply and just hangs, then you weren't in fastboot (or you typed the command wrong) and need to try again (press ctrl+c to cancel the command, but just FYI, it takes 3-5 minutes for it to wipe all data, so be patient before canceling).

Like yareally said, you should move on to step 4 if you are in fastboot. The only time you will need to access adb shell is when it says on the instructions.
ok, i'm sorry if i wasn't clear.
I saw the $ prompt, so I assumed the commands were run in a adb shell.
If i run the fastboot commands in a cmd window, this is the output:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot -i 0x1949 -w
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:

I'm a bit confused as to what you are doing. What were you using before to enter commands? Whatever you were using that got you to step 3, was what you need to use. There should always be $ infront of your commands.
Oh I just saw the problem, the fastboot your using is out of date. Theres no -i command. I think the one that I linked was out of date too.. I'll upload the one I have which is the most current and link it on the main post. Sorry about that! So just start over after you update fastboot using whatever you were using before to enter commands that got you into fastboot.
Received my KF about a week ago. Just tried to root it yesterday. That was successful. The instructions I was using said this: "This will “root” your Kindle Fire. You can actually stop here but I recommend you to go to the next steps to install TWRP Recovery, which will allow you to install/backup/restore ROMs and also “unroot” your Kindle Fire when needed easily." So, silly me, without doing further research, went on to the next steps. I almost immediately got stuck, here is the code, ending with the -bash where I was stuck.

And now my Mac does not recognize my KF. When I unplug my KF it appears bricked (will not turn on), but when it is plugged into a wall outlet I can do the hard reset, it charges, but does not go past the KF boot screen.
Also, ADB does not recognize any devices.
Additionally, I have a windows 7 machine. I was going to attempt to pick up where I left off, but as my KF is listed as an "unknown device," I cannot update drivers (or do not know how to do so manually). I also installed this little number: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
And I currently have linux loaded on my W7 machine. When I try to use the "normal_boot" command, which is advised, I get:
"Resetting bootmode to standard boot...
< waiting for device >
"
So, yeah. That is where I am at. I WOULD go on to the other directions in firekit, but would prefer not to completely void the warranty using the "usb boot mode trick".
If windows 7 is the key here, I may need a walk through for driver installation and such. Otherwise, I am not totally disinclined to call customer service and ask for a replacement. Apparently they have been good about replacing rooted kindles?
Same issue right now... already tried reinstalling windows/firekit liveusb but nothing works=\ Is there any news on this problem?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20855280&postcount=54
I did read all those threads about such problem before. Just no matter what i do those drivers won't install. I only get unknown device on 7/xp and cannot change it coz when i manually select those drives windows says that there no device info in it=\ Thanks for help anyways
did you select adb_usb.ini ? it's just the folder with this file in it. selecting just the folder is usually enough. if you want to select the file: the driver file is android_winusb.inf. there is the harware info
if you have xp available then use this machine - it's easier
Yeah i did select that inf file (it was only one selectable in folder anyway) but it still says same stuff. I have xp right now if that gonna change something
yes xp is easier to handle because:
only 32bit -> only 1 driver version
no user access control -> don't need to do every thing as administrator
please check the following:
you have a .android folder under your user directory - in this folder is adb_usb.ini - the file has entries for device 0x1949 and 0x18D1 - if not run install.bat from the driver set i provided
check your device manager and delete every entry with kindle or adb
unplug and replug your kf - select the driver i provided manually
Got those 0x1949 and 0x18D1 in adb_usb file. And i only have unknown device every time i plug kindle in, no adb kindle at all
right click unknown device - update driver - select android_winusb.inf
if this don't work we have to cleanup old drivers -> could help per teamviewer if you like
When i try to update driver and manually use inf you provided it says that there no device info there=\ And i got unknown device since fresh windows install so idk what driver can cause it -.- I could ve try teamviewer but my windows is not english so it gonna be quite useless.
what language ?
Well it's in russian +there no laptop drivers yet coz im using xp only for this god dam kindle
ok your right - with russian i have a problem
will try to describe you the steps:
disconnect and power off (pwr ~30sec) your KF
open a command prompt
type "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1"
type "start devmgmt.msc"
Click Show hidden devices on the View menu in Device Manager
uninstall every entry with kindle, android phone or adb device
power down computer and power on again (no restart)
tell me if your done - we will resume ...
ok i did everything step by step tho there was none of adb/android phone/kindle so i just deleted my unknown device.
ok - lets resume:
you may want to delete your old driver set previously downloaded - it must be faulty
now download the one from this post and extract it to c:\
now plugin your kf (don't power it on - will do it by itself)
if you' asked
-choose browse my computer for driver software
-Then select have disk
-Then select browse
-direct to where you downloaded the usb driver i attached
-Select okay and okay
just in case you'r not asked:
-Go to device manager
-right click on the exclamation mark kindle
-Choose update driver software
-choose browse my computer for driver software
-choose let me pick from a list of devices on my computer
-Then select have disk
-Then select browse
-direct to where you downloaded the usb driver i attached
-Select okay and okay
if this don't work eighter then i would think you have a faulty cable !
try an other one ...
Nope still same=\ Guess i will look for new cable tomorrow then tho this one was just fine today at transfering stuff (dam you nokia!). Well thanks for trying to help anyway.
you have the nokia cable - i have the same one
tell me the status your kf now
stuck at boot screen ?
some other tricks:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20945694&postcount=506
if you'r stuck in wrong bootmode:
with adb:
adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4000"
adb reboot
with fastboot:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
or
fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot
or
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot
if you issue the fastboot commands and get <waiting for device> over some while power the kf off (pwr ~30sec) and on. at some point it should recognize the command
Yeah it same as before=\ I have same problem as topic starter aka device in fastboot and windows won't recognize it and install correct drivers. Fastboot commands won't work coz i don't have correct drivers and all they do is stuck on waiting for device/
xx time later = IT WORKS!!! for some weird reason it picked kindle up nothing changed in windows yet it works! Thanks again for your help time to flash recovery again.
courious - just tested on mine
when i switch to fastboot it is recognised as "android adb interface"
not the composite thing !
and i have the same drivers on xp
perhaps you want to try this one:

sorry - no more ideas ...
UPDATE: hurraaa !!! - wish you all the best and good luck !!!
HELP FOR FLASH MORE FASTER WHEN YOU USE FASTBOOT LINE COMMAND
If you have got a problem with your adb or fastboot or recovery....it's very simply and faster
use this:
Download this file "fastboot.zip" or this tool : platform-tools.zip - md5: 15e771613370afe3c70e0be1454d2ef1 - size: 346.8KB
Install this file somewhere in one folder which is named "fastboot" on your PC
=> disk C: root
Unzipped this file on the folder "fastboot" and you will find 3 files:
- adb.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- fastboot.exe
OR
Unzipped this file on the folder "platform-tools" and you will find 11 files:
- aapt
- adb
- AdbWinApi.dll
- AdbWinUsbApi.dll
- aidl
- dexdump
- llvm-rs-cc
- fastboot
- dx
- NOTICE
- source.properties
and when you need to push something by the bootloader, you can use it.
Don't forget to push on this folder the file that you need. For exemple: boot.img or a recovery.img, etc...
CD to where your fastboot or platform tools were installed
The line command is :
Code:
[B]C:\Users\R2D2>cd c:\platform-tools[/B]
Code:
[B]C:\platform-tools>[/B]
OR
Code:
[B]C:\Users\R2D2>cd c:\fastboot[/B]
Code:
[B]C:\fastboot>[/B]
Enter
Code:
[B]C:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img[/B]
Enter

When I flash my 2017u back to stock 6.0 then update to 7.1.1 this screen on bootup is still present. I also cannot seem to get fastboot to work to lock the bootloader either.
Any help appreciated
Excuse the pic quality it's taken with my backup i9505 s4
Try to go into fastboot using "adb reboot bootloader" or using the volume keys to go into fastboot. After that you should be able to use "adb oem lock" to lock the bootloader and you will no longer see that message when you boot.
Thanks. Will give a try again on the weekend when I Qualcomm firehose it back to stock again. Cheers

Hi, I managed to have a play with the phone using the edl tool, the axon7 toolkit and even adb 15 second installer. No command i have tried on B29 MM will lock the bootloader.
The 5 second screen is still there on boot and shows unlocked. I went upto N B15 and the OEM is greyed out but still a 5 second screen. So reverted back to MM B29 for now and hope someone can help me.
Edit - I've tried flashing stock images with axon 7 edl tool and some success in flashing stock but it still leaves me with the 5second screen I've tried now to inject twrp in a stock image to then hopefully flash the remove 5 second screen g and u zip but I get stuck with an encrypted drive and needing to enter a password thus unable to put the zip on the phone to flash with twrp 3.2.3.0

because you didn't allow oem unlocking?
OEM unlocking allowed. I'm now back on Los 16 for the time being. OEM unlocking before greyer out saying my bootloader is already unlocked. It just will not lock and edl will not lock it either
There is a method by @raystef66 where u can "hide" this notification.

Yea I'm not that desperate to hide it no more. I flashed stock android 8 and couldn't get it to stop encrypting the data partition with twrp so I gave up. I'm back on Los 16 with a new battery and that will do.
I'm not going to buy a razer phone 2 this year so this axon will have to do. Just got to order a new speaker as my bottom loud speaker just doesn't work. The plastic cover and the springs arms are intact just nothing coming from it.
Cheers for the replies guys. Was thinking of trading the phone in at CEX here in the UK and then move to my dual Sim Samsung s7. But since the Axon defeated me I'll keep it for now and maybe get shot of the Samsung instead.

When I flash my 2017u back to stock 6.0 then update to 7.1.1 this screen on bootup is still present. I also cannot seem to get fastboot to work to lock the bootloader either.
Any help appreciated
Excuse the pic quality it's taken with my backup i9505 s4

you need to flash original stock rom for your device trough edl. (rom your device came from factory,marshmallow)
then boot into system,unlock developer options.Allow oem unlock and turn on usb debugging.Now connect phone to laptop and check the dialogue on your phone that ask for usb debug.Unplug phone.
When you did this you want to flash TWRP trough EDL.
Now boot in TWRP and flash UnlockbootloaderPackage from DrakenFX.
Reboot system.
Now turn off your device and boot into fastboot,connect your phone with laptop and open ADB terminal on your laptop or use Axon7toolkit.
In terminal enter fastboot oem lock,or in axon7toolkit choose lock bootloader.
Your bootloader is now locked.
PS: you dont need locked bootloader to recieve ota's,and make sure you are on the firmware your device came shipped with!!
You need a locked bootloader to get rid of the warning message ( dont flash any mod package that claims it delete the warning page)

Ok the recovery says that it's on 6.0.1 and nothing changes ever. Tried flashing b15 N and nope still recovery says 6.0.1.
I tried updating via ADB and sdcard. Neither works. Two different updates also that I downloaded.
I did the factory reset, still same problem. No service on SIM and WiFi Mac is still 02:00:00 etc.
Just spent an hour on my driving break in my truck and nothing had worked.

Do you use Miflash for flash EDL firmware?

No I used axon 7 edl tool.
So today I tried and tried and gave up flashing b15 N. I had a go with b32 N instead. However after flashing I didn't select yes on the edl tool to reboot instead going for a cable unplug and forced reboot holding the power button. I tried to boot into recovery which yielded a double flash of the red led and then nothing else. Blank screen and no led. I tried rebooting again to recovery and voila. 7.1.1 recovery loaded.
Not taking a chance I factory resetted and now have a fully stock axon 7 with a locked bootloader.
Many thanks to those who helped me but I'm going to part with this phone and return to a Nexus 6p that needs a new battery and a dual SIM exynos s7 for my axon 7 lineage os replacement.
